#good morning!!! have some heartbreak wlw angst!!!!

[theviridianbunny]

Oh my god I had the most heart wrenching idea for Charli and Evelyn [and Mateo!!]

OK so - in my cp2077 worldbuilding- Charli and Mateo go off around Europe during the events of the game. The two are not in night city - Charli is on a DJ tour and Mateo is along for the ride.

In my worldbuilding, Evelyn still dies. It happens exactly how it happens in the events of the CDPR canon. Evelyn passes - Charli and Mateo are out of night city [they're in the north of Italy- staying in Milan]

I'm just having thoughts of Charli finishing a DJ set - shes on a happy high and is all bouncy as she returns to her hotel room. She's yapping to mateo [who is nodding inbetween brushing his teeth]

The night it normal - she showers and gets all cozy in bed with Mateo, they're both about to sleep when Mateo gets the call from Judy... and then Mateo has to break the news to his dearest that her other partner is gone.

And Charli - who normally is this ray of sunlight and absolute ball of gorgeous positivity....she very softly holds Mateo and she weeps. Overwhelmed in a very un charli way - charli's emotions are normally expressed big and loud - but not now... it takes days for the news to set in. The two are so far from night city...

Charli cancels the rest of her tour- her fans are upset - but they all understand. She returns to night city where she holds a memorial for her partner- Mateo and the rest of her mox family supporting her throughout it all.

New Fic Alert!

If you've read any of my writing, you know I absolutely LOVE episode/canon rewrites focused on female characters and wlw ships! Since I have already rewritten seasons 8-9 and 11-15 of Criminal Minds, it would seem that the time has come for me to tackle seasons 2-7. And so I will (hopefully) be posting the first chapter of my newest work, Gravitational Constant, sometime this month. It's an Emily-centric canon-adjacent story with plenty of Jemily angst and Jormily fluff! Look below the cut for a summary and a sneak preview, and let me know if you want to be tagged when I start posting!

Gravitational Constant

Emily and JJ are not meant to be, but they orbit each other like satellites.  Over the years, they blur the lines between friendship and romance, always finding some reason not to take the plunge and be something more.  Their connection to each other blossoms through highs and lows, births and deaths, joys and heartbreaks.  Emily and JJ are not meant to be, but they can’t deny the force that keeps pulling them back together.

            Emily Prentiss tugged nervously at her blazer and sat up a little straighter as she looked around the Section Chief’s office.  Section Chief Erin Strauss was a middle-aged blonde woman with a stern, detached, perfectly composed demeanor that reminded Emily of her mother, but that wasn’t the only thing that made her anxious to earn Strauss’ approval.  This interview with the Section Chief was the last hurdle before she could join the FBI’s elite Behavioral Analysis Unit.

            “Your file is certainly impressive, Agent Prentiss,” Strauss said, “I see you were posted to Interpol for three years…but then you spent the past year working a desk job in the Chicago field office.  That’s an interesting career move.”

            “After my last Interpol assignment I needed a change,” Emily said, “I needed some time to process and decompress, and working a desk was good for that.  But now, I���m ready to get back in the field.  I think I’d do well in the BAU.”

            “Well, you’re certainly highly qualified.”

            “Thank you.”

            “Some might say over-qualified…”

            “Ma’am?”

            “Well, with your skillset, you could go anywhere,” Strauss said, “Why do you want the BAU so badly?”

            “I need a job where I know that I’m helping people,” Emily replied honestly, “I need to know that what I do every day is actually saving lives and making a difference.  The BAU profiles and catches some of the worst offenders out there.  The work they do is important.  It’s noble.  I would be honored to be a part of that work.”

            “I think you know how competitive these openings in the BAU are.”

            “Yes, ma’am.”

            “We want to make sure we get the Bureau’s best and brightest in this unit,” Strauss continued, “Especially now.  The BAU has had a bit of an…unexpected turnover.  I’ll be keeping an eye on the entire unit, not just you.”

            “Does that mean…”

            “You will report to Agent Hotchner on Monday morning,” Strauss said, “Congratulations, Agent Prentiss.  You’re now a member of the BAU.”
