Get a Grip
Steve Murphy & OC Maristela Fernandez
Written for my beloved @garbinge for the 2024 Trick or Treat Exchange!
Warnings: 18+, language, alcohol, light angst, emotional hurt/comfort
Word Count: 3.3k
A/N: obsessed with these two actually. i've written a fic where they're exes. this is a fic that happens before they date. their real relationship exists only in my mind palace lmao
Part of Mari wondered if Steve had always been a night owl, or if that was something that was born out of necessity after getting placed in Colombia. It was hard to imagine him as anything else considering so much of their time together was spent when the rest of their apartment buildings were fast asleep. Even before they reached that level of comfort, intimacy even, with each other, they were sat at their respective desks on the base with no one else but them in the building.
Sometimes it was all three of themâher, Steve, and Javi. But there were some nights, most nights if she was being unforgiving, that Javi was whisking someone away for the night to keep himself busy and leaving Steve and Mari to their own devices. And usually all that meant was the two of them agonized over things that couldnât get solved in a night, but at least they were agonizing over them together. The old adage about misery and company certainly seemed to ring true for the two of them.
She was one of the only CNP officers who even pretended to have any use for Steve and Javi. They were all outcasts in different ways but each in their own rite. She didnât have to carry the brand of being an American in Colombia, so she at least had that going for her where Steve and Javi didnâtâbut she was still a woman, and that was something that the two American DEA agents didnât need to worry about when they walked into a room. It hadnât been a smooth start for the three of them together, and some days it still didnât feel all that smooth, but they had each otherâs backs at least. That was something, even if some days they were still snipping at each other, Mari and Javi ping-ponging back and forth between Spanish and English and Steve just trying his best to keep up with all of it.
It was one of the rare nights when theyâd each gone home somewhat early that the phone in Steveâs apartment started to ring. There was a very short list of people who would be calling his Colombia apartment at all, let alone outside standard business hours. Drink in hand, he got himself up off the couch to go and answer the call.
He was leaning against the wall as he brought the receiver to his ear, coiled cord swaying slightly as he spoke. âMurphy.â
âHey.â
Steveâs brows pulled together. âMari?â
âYou free for a drink?â
Steve blinked slowly, trying to fit the words together like jigsaw pieces in his head. Sure, the two of them sometimes dipped into the bottle that Steve kept in his desk when they were working late, but it was never a formal invitation. It was always about work in some regard. This didnât feel like that.
âUh, yeah,â he finally got himself to speak. âGot someplace in mind?â
âYour place,â she answered, faster than she meant to, âor mine. Doesnât matter.â
He was shaking his head like she could see him. âThe hellâs goinâ on with you? You alright?â
She huffed. âI donât fucking know, Murphy. Thatâsâthatâs why Iâm calling.â
He frowned in thought, trying to figure out which of the options she presented him with was a better one. Looking around his apartment, he quickly decided that however her place looked, it was still probably in better shape.
âIâll come over.â
Even though she had been the one who told him to come over, Mari still found herself flinching when she heard the knocks at her door. Standing up from the tiny table in her kitchen, she quickly and quietly padded over to the door. There was one more knock and even though there was very little likelihood of it being anyone else, she still looked through the peephole to make sure that it was really Steve on the other side.
She flipped the deadbolt and undid the chain lock on her door before pulling it open. Steve looked the same way he always did, except with maybe more confusion in his features given the circumstances, although she also had to admit that confused wasnât exactly a new look on him either. Even with that being the case, she was certain that sheâd never been so relieved to see him.
âHey, thanks forââ She stopped herself short when the door of the apartment down the hall slowly started to creak open. Mari wouldâve known who it was even if she couldnât see the womanâs face in the sliver of space in the door. âNo te preocupes, Señora Sanchez,â she called out, loud enough to make a point but not so loud that it would disturb their other neighbors. Grabbing Steveâs arm, she angled his body so that he was facing the doorway of her neighbor. âEs mi colega.â
Steve felt a little strange being put on display like that in the middle of Maristelaâs hallway, for her neighbor who looked as though she mustâve been nearing seventy years old at least. However, Steve didnât let the womanâs long grey hair and short stature fool him when he could easily see the hefty wooden broom in her hand. He did his best to give as disarming of a wave as possible as he said, âBuenas noches,â with the thickest American drawl both Mari and Señora Sanchez had ever heard.
It mustâve been satisfactory to some degree, because the woman gave a tight nod before pushing her door shut again. In the eerie silence of the hallway, both Steve and Mari could hear the clicking of all the womanâs locks sliding back into place.
âNeighborhood watch?â Steve asked with a half-hearted chuckle, gesturing back over his shoulder with his thumb as he crossed the threshold into Mariâs apartment.
Mari smiled briefly and nodded. âSeñora Sanchez is the nosiest woman Iâve met in my life besides my own mother.â She shook her head and walked towards the kitchen. âSheâs earned it, though.â
It was the first time that Steve had been really inside her apartment. First time he was doing more than just dropping her off after a bad day. Usually he didnât make it past the doorway, just made sure that he stood there long enough to hear the locks click and then he was on his way. Everything about this felt different. Almost intimate, almost comfortable. Steve wondered if, now that he was standing there with his hands shoved into the pockets of his jeans, Mari was feeling the awkwardness about it too. At least it was her apartmentâhome field advantage and all that.
âDrink?â she offered, already making her way towards the kitchen because she knew the answer.
Steve nodded, then noticed the mildly chaotic pile of shoes beside her apartment door. He got around to giving a real answer as he crouched down to start undoing the laces on his shoes. âUh, yeah. Whatever youâre havingâs fine.â
She chuckled, a dry and tired sound. âGood, because thatâs all Iâve got.â
Steveâs shoes looked out of place amongst hers for a couple reasons, but the most noticeable of them all was the fact that they were placed very nicely next to each other while all of hers were more or less piled on top of each other.
He didnât feel right going to her living room and sitting down on her couch, so instead he made his way over to the kitchen. She was just putting the cork back into the whiskey bottle when he stopped next to the counter. She slid the glass bottle against the smooth countertop with an amount of force that had Steve wondering if it was going to crack against the backsplash. It didnât, and the way that Mari didnât even give it so much as a cautionary glance had Steve thinking that it was far from the first time she had taken her frustrations out with alcohol in more ways than one.
âHm?â She offered him the glass, eyebrows lifted expectantly.
He took it, murmuring out a quick, âThanks,â before taking a long sip. When she mirrored his actions and didnât make any move to head towards the living room, or start any kind of conversation about why they were in the situation they were in, Steve started it for her. âSomething happen?â
âQuĂ©?â
He sent his glass back down on the counter, making a point to do it gently. âCâmon, Mari. Youâre not gonna stand there and tell me that you called me over here because you just wanted to spend some quality time.â
It got a smile out of her, even if it was a weak one. âWouldnât buy that, Agent Murphy?â
âMight be more believable if you werenât still callinâ me Agent Murphy.â
Her smile softened a little more even if it didnât take the exhaustion out of her eyes. âSteve.â
He nodded, picking his glass back up off the counter and lightly clinking it against hers before taking another sip. âMari.â He paused a beat before asking again. âSo? What happened?â He cracked a tiny grin like he knew he was being ridiculous but wasnât going to be stopping himself regardless. âQuĂ© pasĂł?â
She couldnât help but laugh, what little Spanish he did know still coming out so stilted and laden with his drawl. âDonât hurt yourselfâI understand English just fine.â
She let out a deep sigh, staring down into her glass for a moment as she tried to figure out how she should explain to Steve why she called him and asked him to come over. She wasnât really even fully sure of the reason herself. But she knew that she had to be careful, she knew how easily it could start to sound like something that she didnât mean at all.
âI was on the phone with my mother earlier,â she finally started. âAnd she never,â she shook her head, ânever asks about work. She doesnât want to know.â
âWould you wanna tell her if she did?â Steve asked before he could stop himself. He was vaguely aware of the fact that he was probably just supposed to be listening, but this was officially the most heâd learned about Mari in a non-work capacity and he couldnât pretend that he didnât want to know more.
She laughed. âFuck no. But it just feels, I donât know,â she swirled around the whiskey in her glass, âit feels a little like she pretends that it isnât real. My father, he doesnât like talking about it either, but I know that he understands whatâs going on, how real this all is. Pero, mĂ mamaâŠitâs like sheâs ignoring it all.â
Steve felt like he should be saying something but this was well outside his wheelhouse. If his parents had it their way, heâd be spilling government secrets out over the phonelines all the way to West Virginia. They didnât ignore anything. He did his best to venture a guess. âFreaks you out?â
She nodded. âYeah, yeah it fucking does. Acting like none of this is going on when we can barely get enough of a grip on this motherfucker to try and say that he wonât show up knocking on her fucking door?â
âHeâs notââ
âThatâs not the point,â she cut him off. âYou know what I mean.â
He sighed, nodding. âI know.â
âAll those late nights and listening in and, and for what? I feel like we donât even have anything to show for it.â
Steve couldnât stand there and pretend that he hadnât been feeling some of those same things over the last couple of weeks. Itâd been feeling like they were running a marathon but the finish line just kept getting moved farther and farther away. He hadnât stopped to think about how that felt for Maristela though, someone who had her entire family in Colombia, living in the thick of it all. Every shoot-out and bombing, in the back of her mind she was always waiting for it to be happening on her parentsâ street.
âWeâre gonna catch a break soon.â
She let out a hum that was adjacent to amused. âYou really believe that or are you just bullshitting me?â
He laughed. âI donât know. Just donât think Iâve ever seen you sweatinâ any of this before. Itâs freaking me out a little.â
There was something simultaneously annoying yet the slightest bit endearing about the admission. âWell get a gripâwe canât all be losing it.â
He nodded as he brought the glass back up to his lips again. âYes maâam.â
It wasnât supposed to turn into a late night of working. When Maristela had dialed Steveâs number, it was just because she wasnât quite sure where else to turn, and the only person she knew for a fact would be up late and willing to talk was Steve. Part of her hadnât even really expected him to agree to show up the way that he had.
But once he was there, and once they got talking about work, it was a quick and slippery slope into really getting back into work. Despite knowing that bringing things home with her wasnât going to do her any good, Mari still had a habit of stuffing things in her bag whenever sheâd leave for the day just in case an idea struck her at an odd hour, if dots decided to connect in the small hours of the morning.
So that was how they ended up sitting on Maristelaâs sofa, her legs stretched out on the couch while Steveâs were propped up on the coffee table. She had a headset on, playing back one of the tapes that sheâd brought home with her to see if she could try and glean anything from it. Meanwhile, Steve was sifting through photographs that heâd taken, ones that other officers had taken as well. Both of their empty whiskey glasses were on the coffee table, the warm light of the lamps in her living room giving them just enough light for them to see what they were doing without it feeling too bright or too harsh.
Steve didnât remember either of them falling asleep. However, when he woke up it was to daylight streaming in through Maristelaâs apartment windows. His legs, still propped up on the coffee table, were stiffer than boards as he tried to pull them back towards himself. He still had photographs piled in his lap, some of them drifting to the floor as he tried to grease the gears in all his joints again.
Turning to look at Mari, he smiled involuntarily. She was still fast asleep, head nestled in the crook where the arm of her sofa met the back of it. The headset sheâd been wearing was cockeyed now, only one side still resting over her ear. It was no longer playing anything yet managed to act as a bit of a headband, keeping her thick dark waves of hair back out of her face. Still, though, she was clutching the tape player tightly to her stomach even in her sleep. She almost looked relaxedâit was the most relaxed Steve had ever seen her, at least.
Leaning forward, Steve propped his elbows on his knees so he could run his fingers back through his hair, pushing it back out of his face. Letting out a deep sigh, he tried to figure out what exactly he was going to do next. He didnât think that Mari would really care all that much if he just took offâit wasnât like he was supposed to be staying over anyway. Something about it still felt wrong though.
Slowly getting up off the couch, trying not to think about the popping in his knees as he did so, Steve did his best to straighten up the mild mess the two of them had created the night before. He neatly stacked all the photos heâd been looking at, tucking them back into their respective folders before setting them back on her coffee table. He took the glasses theyâd been drinking of and slowly brought them back to the kitchen.
It wasnât until he sat back down on the couch to put his shoes on that Mari woke up. Her awakening was slow and ungraceful, and Steve didnât even try to pretend that he wasnât watching her with complete and utter amusement.
âFuck,â she grumbled out as she blindly peeled the headset off and rubbed at her eyes. She was still slouched over the arm of the couch.
Steve chuckled. âWell arenât you just a ray of sunshine.â
Getting herself to sit upright, she finally opened her eyes all the way. She studied Steveâs face for a moment, like she was trying to figure out what exactly she wanted to say to him. He didnât seem fazed by their situation, and she wasnât quite awake enough to feel any type of way about it one way or the other.
âCoffee?â
He looked up from lacing his shoes. âOffering or asking me to make it?â
She smiled tiredly. âOffering, but if youâre offeringâŠâ
Steve let a long pause settle between them before cracking a grin. âIâm not.â He stood up, laughing as she rolled her eyes at him. âNice try though.â
She tossed her headset onto the coffee table before getting up off the couch herself. Walking by Steve, she brushed her shoulder against his own with a purposeful shove. âMalparido.â
âI know that one,â he joked.
She tried to hide her amusement as she retied her hair, getting the sleepy frizz of it all as under control as she could. âNice to see that all your months in Colombia are finally paying off.â
Steve followed her lead as she started towards her apartment door. There was no discussion needed really about what was happening next. Steve still had to go home, shower, and change before heading back to Carlos HolguĂn. Mari had to do the same. And neither of them wanted the other to be around for any of that.
Still, before she started undoing the locks on her door, Steve asked, âYou good?â
She looked back over her shoulder at him. âBesides the knot in my neck from sleeping on the couch?â She shrugged. âIâm fine.â
âI justââ
She waved him off as she pulled the door open. âIâm okay. Promise.â She leaned against the doorframe and the smile on her face had a genuine air to it that Steve didnât think heâd ever seen from her before. âThank you.â
He wanted to say something else, but he wasnât sure what. He managed a nod. âYeah. No problem.â Clearing his throat, he found himself shoving his hands back into his pockets once more as he stepped out into the hallway. âIâll see you at the base?â
She nodded. âYeah.â She let him get a stride and a half away before saying, âAnd bring me a coffee.â
He laughed and shook his head, but didnât turn around to look at her as he continued making his way out. Maristela watched him go, an upward curl to her lips as she did. He was hardly out of her eyeline when the door down the hall opened up to reveal Señora Sanchez. She looked extremely ready for the day, like sheâd already experienced an entire morning as opposed to Mari who was barely this side of conscious.
Mari raised her eyebrows, waiting for her neighbor to say something. She shook her head at Mari, sarcasm in her tone, almost borderline mockery as she said, âTu colega.â
Mari sighed, slouching against her doorframe. âSeñora, es demasiado temprano para esto.â
The veil of judgment faded from the womanâs face, an odd brand of amusement in its place. The kind that women who had seen enough to know whatâs coming tended to have. She smiled at Mari, gave a small nod as she went to slip back into her apartment again, leaving her with, âBuen dĂa y buena suerte.â
She laughed, and even though the womanâs door was closed, Mari still said, âGracias,â before heading back into her own apartment to get ready for the day.

realized i haven't shared any art of one of my favourite character designs ever, artemisia maristela nemorensis! she's a twilight cleric of eilistraae and circle of stars druid. this compilation made me realize her sun tattoo makes no sense but it's ~magic~ let's pretend. artemisia is one of my few characters with an almost completely secret backstory, which is SO fun to play. especially because one of my best friends who i've been playing with as long as i've played d&d doesn't actually know the backstory, whereas usually i tell them every single detail. instead my dear coati has heard Literally Every Detail because i can't brainrot silently with EVERYONE

For Moon's species of Mer, it is very uncommon for any of the parents to stay and raise their young. Food is hard to come by in their dark abode and groups of Mers attract unwanted attention.
However, Maristela was willing to take risks if it ment watching her babies grow up.

closed starter âșâș maristela hightower , @sepulchcrs
while grief had  touched his life, trystane had been too young to recall when their mother had passed. they had, however, observed it's impact on others, and despite wishing their heart would harden, it bled alongside others. foolish his actions might have been, for even if he had survived the dragon a royal house's rage would've awaited him, lord velaryon's loss was tragic. â lady maristela, â  he greeted her and bowed. â i wish to personally extend house tyrell's and my condolences. if there's anything you or your family need, i will offer any assistance i can. â

3-5 headcanons, Maristela & Reid?
They definitely have an academic rivalry in the least nasty way. They compete consistently to do better than the other But it's all in good fun, and often turns into bets where the winner has to buy the drinks at The Three Broomsticks for Hogsmeade weekend
They share the same 'Ugh Boys' attitude until they start liking boys, but every now and then, when they boys do/say something stupid, they look at each other and share the old eyeroll
Their closets are interchangeable. One week you might see Maristela wearing something and the next week you see Reid in the same thing. Two closets is better than one.
Reid brings Maristela along on the yearly trip to Greece. No questions.
