Writing Updates!!
For anyone who doesnât follow me on Twitter (or if my posts havenât been showing up on your tl recently lol) hereâs some updates on what Iâve been up to for the past month or so!
First off, I participated in NaNoWriMo again this year and I won with 50,345 words!
About 14k went to a new pza oneshot WIP that can best be described as a modern AU mashup of the Iliad & the film The Dreamers and whose draft is about one-third of the way through now.
The other 36k went to the Where The Dead Forget manuscript, mostly drafting chapters 6, 7, 8, & 9 (chapter 7 ended up getting split into 7 and 8 in the process so now the whole thing is 22 chapters).
In my notes for chapter 5 on AO3, I said I would be publishing chapter 6 before November and then having chapter 7 done before the end of the year but I ended up letting myself take a break from writing in October so I could do reading & outlining while refilling my creative cups and I think that ended up being the correct choice!
So that just means Iâm now gonna be editing and publishing WTDF ch 6 in December, and since the rough drafts for the next three chapters after that are near completion, Iâm hoping the time between updates will be shorter for the time being. It actually seems rather efficient for me to write 3-4 chapter chunks at once so if Iâm able to also edit & publish several chapters at a faster clip this way I might cycle between âwriting monthsâ and âediting monthsâ.
My unpublished manuscript docs are now at 72k and if we add that to the almost 51k of WTDF Iâve already published, that puts it at 122k⊠rough estimate itâs about 50% complete. Soooo yeah itâs another one of THOSE fics that completely took on a life of its own and became a monstrosity LMAO. Hope no one minds! uwu
Iâll do my best to publish as much as I can in 2024⊠hopefully itâll only take me another year to at least finish all the drafting.
Also one more: Iâm participating in a Hades fandom gift exchange this year so after WTDF Ch 6 goes up, Iâll be focusing on writing one more Hadesgame fic with a deadline of mid January. I canât say anything else, such as what itâs about or even which character(s) and/or ship(s) are involved without possibly giving away the game but trust me I was really excited & honored to receive my giftee and I was immediately inspired (I wrote 1k already!) I hope theyâll like it ;3;
So TL;DR:
WTDF Ch 6 sometime in December (the title is Guilt btw)
Gift Exchange Hades fic in January
The Dreamers-inspired modern AU Iliad PZA fic⊠sometime. Spring might be nice, letâs shoot for spring (also btw the working title is Liminal Spaces)
WTDF chapters 7-9 as soon as theyâre edited (working titles are currently Known, Glory, and Champion, although they still might change) TBD 2024!!
#emica chat#sorry if this post was boring I like to talk lol#but I also wanted to check in since itâs been a few months since my last fic update#hopefully after Ch 6 goes up I can also make some reading & writing year-end wrap-up posts#my fic#where the dead forget

YOU'RE ALIVE??? - my reaction upon seeing your most recent reblog
Anyway, your fic and blog single-handedly kickstarted my U.S. military history obsession <3
im alive!!!! yeah I've been away for a while. it, ah... has not been a grrrreat time to be a military historian or a Big Fan of military propaganda pieces like Top Gun for the last year or so...
lmfao I just saw that the second trump admin plans to haul up all the commanders in charge of the Afghanistan withdrawal (which HE negotiated btw) in front of congress with the plan to charge them all with TREASON per the UCMJ (good fucking luck dude)
but um in my timeline... that includes navy secretary 2021-2022 tom iceman kazansky, bro... so in case you're wondering what these characters are up to in the present day apparently the answer is "getting investigated for treason." sorry to bring down the mood. my happy ending's a little sour now.
mostly I've been insanely busy. I graduate university in may & have to have a journalism capstone, an English research thesis (my paper on military commanding officers in fiction inspired by my top gun fics tbh) and a creative writing capstone (novel) done by march. plus job applications, work for the place where im currently freelancing, apartment hunting... so im a wee bit crunched lately.
some minor updates for anyone who still cares: I am, extremely slowly, still editing WWGATTAI & the other stories. I've finished a complete overhaul of the Carole-dies chapter, chapter 7, but have yet to post it because I'd like to sync a logistical change in the story across the other pieces. and I'm mostly done with a COMPLETE overhaul of chapter 6 (aka "the nineties" chapter where ice & mav move in together & build their family) which goes into much more detail about how... emotionally and logistically... they could pull that off. + a lot more baseball stuff + the Clinton sex scandal. which leaves just chapter 10 left to do. ugh, my least favorite, which is why im putting it off... and then debriefing etc. which won't take as long because I don't honestly care about debriefing at all and I just have very minor changes to make to it. slider doesn't need editing and idgaf about the other pieces.
once I finish with the edits, which will happen eventually I swear because more than anything I just want to hold the updated edited final thing in my hands the way I did with the first draft, I'll upload my pdf (with meta analysis and notes that go back to mid-2022) for u guys to do with as you wish
also for the m:i doubleheaders I am planning on editing my m:i fic pre-m:i8 next year and pending ilsa life status will write much much more
#have I missed anything big in the fandom orrrr...#also I am on bsky at compacflt (tho I don't post about top gun)#if u wanna come say hi & see what im up to (politics and aerospacepoasting mainly)#'but Lia!' I hear you complain wrt this post. 'you promised all this before! you promised a final edit like literally over a year ago!'#yeah im continually asking for patience here lol#a lots going on in the world in case you weren't aware#trying to be cool and normal about this new administration purging the military of 'woke' and 'disloyalists'#but it is really a five alarm fire along with every other fucking thing this clown and his clown posse want to bring to the country I love#thinking of bringing back my boring march 2023 new-yorker-style tom kazansky interview to talk about some of this stuff in a fandom space#regardless of how you feel about 1980s Reagan neocon politics or 2010s neoliberal politics...#what we're about to see in the near foreign policy/defense policy future is a repudiation of both schools of thought for the WORSE#sorry let me go back to being cool and normal#and not posting on here#miss you guys

i donât think it is humanly possible for the Robby-Johnny relationship to be as good as the writers want me to believe it currently is going, but i also donât think itâs going half as bad as people on here or on reddit say it is, so it is incredibly challenging for me to find posts I agree with about them anywhere
#robby keene#johnny lawrence#cobra kai#like sorry it just wasnât hard for me to buy that johnny was being more supportive of Robby than Miguel at the tournament#we saw him more upset when he lost Robby than Miguel in the scene where johnny loses the locker room#we hear him yelling itâs okay robby multiple times when Robby flops#in the first fight and the platform fight#them hugging when Robby beats kwon#him defending Robby to Miguel on the plane him going specifically after Robby in the brawl#them living together a lot of the time now#them having a good summer together#johnny clearly still putting in the work despite being given a clean slate w a new baby#like i find it very believable that he gave Robby a pep talk or two lol#it would be nice to see it and i wish we did but itâs just not a stretch to me#it makes perfect sense that Robby doesnât improve til someone on the actual team backs him as a leader#the break for me is i donât believe that Robby isnât still mad or slightly mean to his dad anymore#like he needs to be shitty to johnny onscreen one more time and johnny needs to take it#and then I could buy that they are getting to the point the show wants us to think theyâre getting to#I also donât think theyâll ever have a perfect relationship#and I do completely get why people donât have good faith built up in their relationship or in Johnny#but it gets to a point sometimes where it feels like people twist the show to make Robbyâs life harder or sadder than it already is#his life has already been hard he already has enough depth and making him the perfect victim in the whole show makes him boring btw#Iâd also love to read a single post about Robby-Miguel or Robby-Carmen that isnât blatantly racist#but those posts havenât been invented yet#itâs awesome to imagine reading one one day though

#Taylor does not have a beef with Olivia I PROMISE you she does not gaf.#âTaylor is sooo threatened and jealous of her!ââŠ.literally WHAT is there to be jealous of from Taylorâs pov?#Iâm not saying that to diss on Olivia at all#I love her!#but Taylor is the most successful artist in the world. I promise you she is not threatened by any other artist on the charts.#especially not a 21 yr old playing arenas. they are in entirely different stratospheres.#and like. yes there WAS a time when Taylor feared being replaced/was terrified of the next new thing#but. considering Point A (she's the biggest current musical act on the planet)#I Do Not Think She Cares Anymore.#Clara Bow is literally ABOUT THIS!!!#in conclusion: the overlap between those fears in her past and Oliviaâs rise does not and has not ever existed#AND SHE DIDNT EVEN F-ING SUE HER#Olivia doesnât talk about her anymore bc 1) sheâs prioritizing her own identity as an artist 2) certain stan swifties are bullying losers.#like. i truly think thatâs the full story. sorry it's more boring than what the rumor mill has come up with but.#(Iâm sorry I just saw a post that pissed me OFF lol)#ts

i feel like slightly younger than marius mael is the best just for flavor reasons lol. reeaally curious to know what you think
I think I usually land on slightly younger but not like a baby. Like early 30s maybe. BUT I'LL TELL YOU SOME THOUGHTS OF WHY I LIKE EACH OR WHY EACH COULD WORK:
Under 30: First of all because of Jesse's chapter in QOTD--Maharet was turned around age 20 I think? And for Jesse, I'm sure there's that sort of uncanny thing where your mind fills in blanks and makes excuses, like, her "aunt" has been around her whole life so like gee golly I guess she just looks young for her age! Except that there's like the vampire uncanniness too, so whatever you judge as an age doesn't super matter. So like, Mael blending in as one of her guy friends in his early 20s would make sense. Jesse DOES also clock him as not being human, so again I think the uncanniness might not make her peg either of them as a certain age.
I do worry if this clashes with the idea that he could properly be a priest? Caesar said that it takes 20 years to train a priest, but A) A lot of what Caesar said is like anti-Keltoi propaganda and might not be accurate since the Druids famously never left anything in writing, so there's very little first hand information about them. B) MAYBE IT'S OKAY BECUASE IN VC-VERSE TESKHAMEN IS REAL AND MAEL WAS REALLY COMMUNING WITH HIM SO IF THERE WAS LIKE MAGIC AFOOT IN THE COMMUNITY MAYBE HE GOT FAST TRACKED OR RESPECTED AS BEING SPECIAL IDK. I can work with it and make excuses lol.
I LOVE the idea of him being like a young man because of how much madder that would make Marius, plus the way he likes to mentor young blonde men lol. But it might like hurt him even worse if the author of all his misfortunate is like SOME KID.
In his 30s: Personally I usually land here because I DO wonder how long it takes him to gain status in his community and become a priest (in his 30s is still fast tracking it but maybe feels more plausible LOL) and I enjoy the idea of he and Marius being sort of similar to each other. Like, Marius often gets used as the example of Turning an Older Guy and what it means for his temperament and the way it translates to his immortality. I like imagining Mael as around Marius's age for that reason, like I want to remove all his excuses why Mael is a young stupid kid or even an old salty jerk--it forces Marius to confront that Mael is ALSO someone who is chill and smart and has had enough life experience. BUT WHILE THERE'S A WINDOW WHERE THEY COULD BE SIMILAR IN AGE, OR MAEL COULD BE A TAD OLDER, I ALSO STILL ENJOY MARIUS BEING LIKE "HE'S YOUNGER THAN ME I HATE THIS!" BECAUSE HIS AGE AND SELF-PERCEIVED WISDOM & EXPERIENCE ARE IMPORTANT TO HIS IDENTITY AND HE FEELS BELITTED LOL.
In his 40s: Makes sense for the above reason! But I like to skew younger personally just for the Marius ageism dynamic lol. Also there's something about him being a foil to Marius where like, if they're very similar in other ways it can kind of emphasize how their atheism/religion contrasts each other and affects them as people.
Over 50: ALSO POSSIBLE and it's hilarious bc in the audiobook the narrator reads him like such a grouchy old man lmao. I could see this causing a lot of resentment because Marius likes to be the oldest and wisest in the room. I could see him also being younger because Marius insults him every chance he gets and I just think he would've told us that Mael is like an old hag if it were true lol. Anyway wondering how this effects Marius's barbarian kink and how he submits to men.
#btw ive been meaning to write a post when i have a minute about like the experience of transformative fandom#and how like if youre a person who sees the source as sort of dynamic and malleable that you wonder things like this#vs only ever seeing the source as a static topic that needs to be discussed like a literary essay#and how there's friction when people don't allow both types of fandoming to exist in the same space#because ive been seeing some bullshit lately with people taking the source too literally and not allowing anyone to play with it#like none of this stuff is in the books but im trying to write a fanfic so what do you fucking want me to do LOL#sorry i guess ill be boring and not develop any of these dynamics because canon didnt give me an answer lol#and wahts INTERESTING is that many versions of the text can co-exist when you ask questions like this#like rereading Mael scenes and imagining him as 20 or imagining him as 60 makes the scenes very different!#and that's cool and we should talk about it!#anyway sorry i feel like i blew my load with that post by turning it into a tag rant but if i can articulate myself later ill try LOL#mael#marius/mael#marius de romanus#deep ass thoughts about vampires

wish i found leon and ada believable as a couple bc the dynamic of action hero and antihero who steals shit from them inc. their heart and brain is so good but unfortunately there is nothing there. and there will continue 2 be nothing there as long as ada exists in perpetuity as the video game equivalent of the sexy green m&m
#or#revil posting#they went too far w the mystique of it all they forgot to give her a character#like i love her in my brain she's wonderful <3 but she is really like a sexy lamp for all of the character work capcom put into her#ada is. competent. and wears cocktail dresses to the zombie apocalypse on two separate occasions. thts it xoxo#she's also a feminist bc she feels bad that carla got her shit rocked by mad science but not that bad yk cause shes ambivalent#her va in the remakes is doing so much by giving her that flat affect but my running wild with an autism headcanon is not a real trait#(neither is the likely intention of her just being . really bored of me lol)#that ada wong actually has and expresses <3 this is a post where i talk abt how i do not connect with The revil ship but#now it's a post about how ada could be Everything. they Stole her Moments they Took her Cutscenes#and she already had so little......... my beloved#sorry ive just googled are there books about ada wong and she is in One book. and this review says the author 'gives life to characters#whose motivations we normally only get in cutscenes' or w/e and now im wondering if i need to read this. if This will tell me#give me Ada Info. Ada Lore.#god and i havent even mentioned that leon is gay and all the smart gamers know it!!!#the ideal ada/leon dynamic is roommates

I know Iâve posted about this before but like I actually donât think that Megatronâs actions in the Functionist Universe make him a hero at all, at least not from a meta perspective. Because all he did was go to an alternate universe and get a free do-over card where he got to live out his fantasy of doing a revolution âproperlyâ and even become a medic like he always wanted to. The only person he lost that was actually from this universe was Terminus-- the other Impactor and Orion were just that, alternate universe versions that Megatron had no real connection to besides âtheyâre alternate universe versions of guys I was friends/complicated rivals with.â The problem he solved came from a DIFFERENT UNIVERSE ENTIRELY and did nothing to make up anything from his own universe that he actually fucked up and wronged the people in.
If the Functionist Universe didnât exist (and it only existed due to one guy fucking around with time travel) then Megatronâs actions as a âgood guyâ would have literally just been killing the DJD, and even that is SUPER lukewarm because 1. Megatronâs hesitation to do battle directly endangered the rest of the crew (people he was responsible for) and 2. He literally made the DJD and then discarded them (especially Tarn) like trash, like they were just rabid dogs he had forgotten to put down until they came threatening his soul-searching journey and his crew.
#squiggposting#negativity#sorry to get a bit vitriolic lol but#there was this meta post i saw comparing OP and megs in terms of heroic moments defeating an ultimate evil or something along those lines#and i was like dont even compare megs and OP in terms of heroism honestly LMAO#OP did more to face the cybertronian legacy of colonialism or racism than megs ever did#and OP is the guy who was fucking pro organic and saw them as equals his whole fucking life!!!! before the war even!!!!#dont even talk to me about megs JRO had to invent a whole alternate universe to give him people to save#the only thing megs did to make up for what he did was submit to going to trial at the end lmao#OP was the one doing shit like investing decepticon murders#stopping galva and the remnants of the decepticons from trying to colonize earth again#etc etc#i'm sorry but get out of my face. do not even say megs name in the same sentence as OP and the word 'hero'#barber's writing was boring and tedious as shit but at least he wrote OP as an actual hero#who didn't get a whole alternate universe for him to fix and become a magical revolutionary to fight an enemy who already died in this unive

Could you draw that "I trust you" scene with Mabel and Stan but with the relativity AU? (The stan twins and pine twins swap ages au)
OF COURSE, I WILL GLADLY DRAW THEM!!! đ„đ„đ„
Iâm gonna post a long winded thesis about my thoughts on this AU, my take on the AU, and two additional arts under the cut because ooooh boy itâs a tad bit long lol. Also, please please forgive the formatting, Iâm writing this all on the fly and itâs extremely disjointed, sorry- đ„
I know thereâs the âcanonâ Relativity AU designs and character dynamics, however I donât really like them that much ngl. I feel like it mostly just ends up with âMabel and Dipper get switched with Stan and Ford with no nuances once so everâ and that BLOWS!!! Thereâs so much potential there and no one is playing with it!! YOU GUYS DONâT EVEN HAVE MABEL PRETENDING TO BE DIPPER, WHATS THE POINT????
Not only that but I feel like making Dipper and Mabelâs dynamic just Ford and Stanâs when theyâre adults is a HUGE simplification of their characters. Like, Mabel and Dipper fight, but they donât fight like Stan and Ford, theyâre not as hard headed and stubborn. Mabel would commit some crimes yes, but I donât believe she would get into some of the heavy shit Stan had in his past. I refuse to believe Mr. Dipper âUndiagnosed Anxiety Disorderâ Pines would fall for Billâs flattery as easily as Ford did.
The Pines Twins are very different from the Mystery Twins. Mabel and Dipper didnât grow up with a father constantly comparing the two and pinning them against each other, outright telling one kid theyâll always be a failure while the other is going to have the burden of making their family rich. They never had that tension. They wouldnât be walking on eggshells around eachother as adults.
I know that makes the concept sound boring to some, âWhereâs the fun in the AU if you take away the sibling fightingâ. You cowards, you can still have it, young Stan and Ford are RIGHT THERE. During the second half of the show when Dipper comes back through the portal, instead of having the older set of twins, something that doesnât male sense with their characters, have a building tension thatâs going to explode soon and keep it between Stan and Ford, donât take it away from them. If anything, I think taking away the resentment and anger growing between the two and giving it to Mabel and Dipped is a butchering of all the characters.
Sure that means some of the episodes would have to change or be completely erased, but thatâs fine!!! Make up some new ones!!! Get silly with it!!!
Mabel and Dipper talk about feelings, Stan and Ford donât. Mabel and Dipper canât stay mad at each other, Stan and Ford will try and stay mad for decades because being angry is easier than being upset.
In my idea of this AU that fight at the end of Weirdmageddon HAS to be between Stan and Ford, and Stan HAS to still be the one getting his memories erased.
đ„ Post Not-What-He-Seems Relativity AU Rambling Below đ„
Dipper is a paranoid man, fool him once youâre never going to fool him again. He would never in a million years ever work with Bill again. Ford however is an extremely lonely child, both he and his brother are desperate for any type of positive attention. I think Bill would see him as a potential protege, especially since Ford is a âfreakâ like he is and the kid is extremely smart for his age. Heâs malleable, Bill probably thinks he could shape him uo to be the perfect lackey.
Ford, being the lonely kid he is, probably does fall for the praise initially. He craves attention and Bill pushes all the right buttons and says all the right words, tries and gains his trust even if time has proven again and again that he shouldnât be trusting the demon.
The tension between the Stan Twins would grow after Grunkle Dipper comes back because Ford is upset that Stan didnât listen to him (even if it was for the best that he did) and that Grunkle Dipper forgave Graunty Mabel so easily because if Ford was in those shoes he wouldnât have. It grows more and more as Ford becomes distant and Stan tries to connect with his brother to no avail. Which, of course, comes to a boiling point when Ford says heâs going to stay in Gravity Falls and learn under Grunkle Dipper. Stan is rightfully upset. He canât go back to New Jersey by himself. Itâs always just been the two of them, he needed Ford, he couldnât handle school or their father by himself. He canât be alone.
Unlike Mabel who just wanted one more day of summer, Stan wishes that he wouldnât be alone, which indirectly causes Weirdmaggendon.
Stanâs prison bubble would probably be a fake New Jersey-esc town full of a bunch of little Stans running around. Town Oâ Stan. A place where no Stan is left behind.
Ford says some nice words to Stan there to get him outta there but there is still this intense tension between the two.
During the Cipher Wheel Ford is the one who tackles Stan. The two fight, whining out hurtful words neither of them mean and only stop when Bill shows up and captures them. Graunty Mabel and Grunkle Dipper run off and distract Cipher in hopes that they can keep the attention on themselves long enough that their great nephews could come up with a plan to escape.
The younger twins donât find a way out and instead, finally, have an actual talk about their feelings, one that definitely ends up in tears as the two talk about the pressure thatâs put on them or how worthless they feel. After that the boys get a rush of determination to escape when Stanley has a plan. Ford immediately hates the plan but Stan insists that they do it, in his own words, âLet me prove I can do something right for once.â
When Bill comes back and threatens to kill either Mabel or Dipper just for the hell of it, Ford calls out that heâd like to make a deal.
He wants to work with Bill, let Bill into his mind willingly. Bill immediately jumps on that offer. Ford is a promising young kid, perfect henchmaniac potential, not to mention it would absolutely devastate Dipper is his great nephew willingly turned to Billâs side.
He goes into Fordâs head, revealing Stanley just in time to reveal that he was trapped, panicking as he was erased with a swift left-hook along with a kid who was happy to prove he was good for something after all.
Everyone was devastated after Weirdmaggedon of course, a child had his mind completely wiped. Stanford took it the worst, he just managed to finally break down those words that others built in his head, that he was too good for Stanley or that he didnât need a knucklehead like him dumbing down his brain, and now his brother was gone. Just like that.
We all know what happens after this, Stan gets his memory back, everyone celebrates and the Stan twins are sent home, promising each other that theyâll never let anyone try and tear them apart ever again. Dipper and Mabel stay at the shack, after all, all they could ever want is there, where else could they possibly go?
Sorry this was⊠extremely rambly and long, I am extremely tired and canât think straight I have a bunch more ideas and concepts so if anyoneâs desperately wants to hear them just ask I guess, sorry you read this dumb of ass essay haha đ„

So today in English we read an ee cummings poem
My friends have always sorta made fun of him, the combination of a memeable name and the idea that this famous poet was âso lazyâ he never used punctuation was a pretty easy one to make jokes of
But like
I looked at the poem, and I was like âthis is a messâ
And I kept looking
And the more I read it the more I (capital-U) Understood
And I mustâve read it 20 times
And itâs like ohhh I GET it now. I thought I understood poetry to an extent but I donât think I did. I guess I sorta saw it as a more flowery way you could tell the same sort of story you could tell in a traditional narrative. But itâs so different
#itâs like#fuck whatâs the poem hold on#itâs look at this#and the way the parenthesis lead you around the page to read the same poem over and over again#like a new person dying#every time#or the cycles of grief#agh. Gah!

losing you | s.r.
in which you being in danger in the field elicits a response from Spencer that you're not used to - anger
margovember
who? spencer reid x fem!reader category: angst content warnings: general cm violence, jareau!reader, fear of abandonment, fighting word count: 1.67k a/n: i really didn't like this one at first but turns out now i really enjoy it lol. it's hard for me to dislike anything jareau!reader. anyways, setting this up to post while i chemically straighten my hair, i hope you enjoy!
âWhat are you doing?â Spencer asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest and casually leaning against the doorframe. A bored expression planted on his face as he watched you dump your dirty laundry out of your go-bag and begin to shove clean clothes inside.
You huffed, slamming a dresser drawer shut as you shoved socks into your otherwise empty duffle, âIâm going to stay with JJ tonight.â Avoiding his gaze, you proceeded to pack away your underwearâfour pairs for an overnight trip.
Slowly, he meandered over to the bed, sitting on the ledge and watching you, âI think we should talk about this.â He told you, pushing his glasses up on his nose.
âI agree,â you responded, checking your toiletry kit to ensure you had everything you needed to get through the next twenty-four hoursâor more if the team got called off on a new case while you were with your sister.
Spencer frowned at your response, âYou agree, but youâre still packing to leave.â He turned his head to follow you as you floated around the room, tossing miscellaneous clothes in your bag.
Nodding, you zipped your go-bag shut, buttoning an additional closure before turning back to face Spencer. âYouâre angry with me, and I think we could have a more productive conversation with each other tomorrow after you sleep on it.â
âAnd I think we need to get our thoughts out now before it turns into a bigger issue. Internalizing emotions like youâre suggesting isnât healthy,â Spencer challenged, following you as you walked to the front door, setting your bag on the console before searching around for the right pair of shoes. âAnd now youâre just walking out,â he griped, gesturing over to the shoe rack.
Your head snapped up at that remark, âHey, I am not just âwalking out.ââ Your gaze narrowed at him as you nearly stumbled over your own feet.
The knot between his brows loosened at your expression, and for a moment, you werenât in the midst of a disagreement. For a moment, the two of you were two kids who had been walked out on. âNo,â Spencer said, his voice softer than it had just been, âYouâre right. That was a poor choice of words and Iâm sorry.â
Chewing on the inside of your lip, you paused your efforts to leave the apartment and took a deep breath. âI made a split-second decision, and it ended up saving a little girlâs life. I donât regret it, but I do regret the way it scared you.â
Spencer kept a firm distance from you, even if you reached out an arm, you wouldnât be able to touch him. âYou should have listened to Hotch; thereâs no reason that you shouldâve done⊠that.â
âYou werenât there, Spencer! If you had seen the way he was holding that gun to her temple⊠if you had heard the way she was crying out for her mom, then maybe youâd understand why I took her place,â you told him, shifting uncomfortably on your feet.
Spencer groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose, âThere had to have been another option, Y/N.â
Maybe there was, but part of your FBI training had been on making snap decisions, and this was just another example. âSo, you think I shouldâve let him keep that gun to the little girlâs head?â
âNo,â Spencer answered, dragging out his vowel. âI just would have rather not seen a gun to my girlfriendâs head instead.â
You halted, eyes widening in alarm as you shifted to a newfound frustration, âRight,â you sniped, âThatâs rich, coming from you.â
His eyes flashed with recognition, and you knew that he was well aware of what you were referring to. Last month when he had his face off with Cat Adams, leading to her pointing a gun at his head while he proceeded to egg her on. Youâd given him a mouthful the next day, and you werenât afraid to do it again, âThat was a completely different set of circumstances.â
Cocking your head to the side, your nostrils flared, âWas it?â You ask sardonically, âA serial killer pointing a loaded gun to your head sounds pretty fucking similar to me!â
âAt least I stayed to talk to you about it instead of running away,â he snapped, both of you escalating in the ways you knew how. You raised your voice while he resorted to the cutting edge in his voice.
You held your hands out to your sides helplessly, âDo I need to put in for a transfer or something? Is this that big of an issue to you?â You could barely stomach the idea of leaving the BAU, but at this point, losing Spencer would be worse than joining a new department.
âNo,â he answered instantly, âThe problem here is that you donât think before you act.â
You held up your hand, âI think before everything I do, and Iâm sorry that my synapses donât fire a million times a minute, and I canât calculate the probability of every outcome beforehand, but I did the best I fucking could with the time I was given.â
Spencer raised his eyebrows curiously, âThe best you could? A Glock to your temple was the best you could do?â
âFuck you! Why donât you have any trust in my abilities in the field? Why do you all of a sudden do you think I canât do my job?â You demanded, chest rising and falling with anger as you glared across the room at him.
Spencer flinched at the accusation, the idea that he was just as bad as all of the people who assumed you only got your job because of your sisterâthe kind of people Spencer used to defend you from. âI didnât⊠youâre perfectly capableââ
âBut not good enough for the BAU? Not good enough to be a profiler, surely,â You interrupted him. âYou know what I think, Spencer? I think youâre scared. I think seeing a gun to my head frightened you, and youâre taking it out on me because Iâm the only vessel that you can snipe at and know they wonât leave you entirely.â
His posture changed then, leaning against the back of the couch as he absorbed your words, âYouâre an incredible profiler, honey. The team is lucky to have you, you know that.â
Your shoulders slumped forward in response, âThen why the hostility? Why did you snap at me in front of everyone as soon as you found out the gun wasnât loaded?â You took your bottom lip between your teeth as you studied his facial expressions for an answer. When you offered to take the little girlâs place, you were under the impression that the gun was loaded, and when the rest of the team caught up with you, they were under the same guise.
It wasnât revealed that the chamber was empty until JJ made the shot that took out the UnSub, and Spencer had been all over you with worry one moment and wanted nothing to do with you the next.
âDid you feel like your worry wasnât warranted?â You asked when he remained silent, âLike it was a waste of emotion when I wasnât in any real danger?â
Spencer shook his head, crossing his arms in front of his chest self-consciously as you forced him to look at his behavior objectively, âYou were always in danger, Y/N. The way he was watching you, the grip that he had on youâŠâ
The UnSub gripped your hip so fiercely that he had almost taken you down with him when he was shot, and you wouldnât be surprised to find bruises marring your skin when you changed out of your work clothes. âI saved that little girl, Spence. Thatâs the deal, right? âI will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.ââ You quoted your oath to him, the same one he had taken, âAt that moment, it was my duty to save that little girl. She went home to her parents today because of me.â
âYouâre right,â he said, any evidence of malice washed from his tone. âYou were incredible. You were fearless, and it scared the shit out of me,â he told you. âIââ he faltered, âIâm sorry,â he said, approaching you the way you would a wounded animal.
You shook your head when he held out his hands for you, leaving your arms stiffly at your sides and shaking your head, âNo, Spence.â
Despite your protests, he pulled you into an embrace anyway; your body was resistant to him, the way his warm arms wrapped around you and pulled you flush against his body. âPlease donât go,â he whispered. âBe mad at me, make me sleep on the couch, but please donât leave,â he murmured.
Your cheek was pressed against his chest, the wool lapel of his suit jacket scratching against your skin as tears flooded your field of vision. As much as you wanted to resist, this was Spencer. Instinctively, you nuzzled your face into his chest, wrapping your arms around his waist and taking a shuddering breath.
âIâm sorry,â he breathed. âIâm so sorry. I donât want to lose you,â he told you.
Fear of loss. Spencer had been terrified to see a gun to your head, but the thought of having to watch you leave the apartment you shared in order to get away from him was petrifying. âI have to call my sister,â you told him, your voice muffled by his jacket.
One hand was on your waist, the other on the back of your head, fingers threaded into your hair, âWhy?â
âTo let her know Iâm not coming,â you muttered. âSheâll worry, and it seems Iâve caused enough of that today,â you told him, appreciating the heat that emanated from Spencer as he looped his arms around you, holding you tightly as if thatâs all heâd ever needed.
