     ‘  perhaps.  you brought them in.  i just wanted them to feel loved.  ’    she takes the proffered glass of wine between wet fingers and settles back with a combination of warm water and bubbles floating around her shoulders.  it doesn’t feel like  work,  doesn’t feel  heroic,  it just feels as natural as  BREATHING. the corners of her mouth tip up as esme takes in her husband  ––  her free hand extends, and the pad of her thumb ever so gently traces the curve of his jawline.   ‘  are you joining me ?  ’

“It’s not polite to stare, you know.” It’s easy to find him in the crowd of people. At least, easier than it is to keep her arms crossed sanctimoniously before her chest instead of running to him at full speed. “You should show the new girl around.”

When JJ had found out she had almost cried, for a GOOD reason though. It wasn’t necessarily planned, but that didn’t mean that she wasn’t happy. It had taken them a while to figure this whole thing between them out, but this was RIGHT, she felt it in her gut.

Smiling as she finished dinner, JJ set up the table so things would be READY once he came home. She had asked Hotch for a couple of hours off, luckily there was no active case at the moment, so nobody had really suspected anything. Though Emily had looked at her for a moment, and JJ almost thought her BEST FRIEND knew. She was going to tell her soon enough, but she wanted Spence to be the first.

The small present was ready, too. She had personally designed it. It was a crossword puzzle, where the letters eventually spelled the words Congratulations, Dad. JJ didn’t expect him to take LONG to figure it out, but it would be worth seeing the look on his face.

Smiling to herself, JJ eventually heard the key turn in the lock as she finished setting up the FOOD. “You’re right on time!” She then called. “As always.”

    ----- ABIGAIL WONDER HOW THE JUDGE DEALS WITH someone like joseph seed. the man seems -- off. VERY OFF. this man spoke carefully and in a calming manner -- it made her a little uneasy. she wants to trust this man but -- the captain saw how the rye’s reacted to thomas suggesting they go to new eden for help and it made her want to ask then and there what did this one do to cause such reaction. abi was only a child when she left hope county - only has vague to no memories of her time here - so she’s not privy to what joseph has done. but whatever it was. cap knew it wasn’t any good. but they have no choice. they needed the people of new eden in the fight.

after joseph ‘lent’ the judge to them for help ( because all they know and speak is violence -). ignoring the other man as he finished -- whatever speech he was saying and leaving to possibly talk to his son, ethan, abigail walked over to the judge, ‘ -- you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to - i don’t want to force you to do something just because you were told -- okay? ‘

“you saw who doing what now?” 

she’s got her feet on the table and her shoes off to the side, and the glass in one hand is more than half empty. ( and it’s definitely not her first. ) there’s a clink as she rests the glass on the table.

She wasn’t going to say NO to Red Skins tickets. Especially not in a VIP box. Not that JJ was looking to date, especially not a CO WORKER, but like she had said: She wasn’t going to say NO to those tickets.

Besides: He had never actually said this was a DATE. And even if it was, then one date wasn’t going to make things weird. It wasn’t a romantic dinner after all, it was just a football game. One she was planning enjoying.

She had dressed in her jersey, and brought along a HAT for Reid, so he wouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb amongst all the other fans. Surely, with a VIP box they’d be mostly surrounded by people who came here to make deals and talk about business, but most of them had the decency to at least show support for ONE team.

When JJ saw him approach through the crowd, her lips curved into a SMILE and she lifted her arm to give him a wave.

“Spence, over HERE!”

“Bury me shallow, I’ll be back.” wrong blog but lawyer!tom riddle

Ginny Weasley’s an intern for Aberforth Associates when she first meets Tom Riddle in an almost forgotten anteroom in the Court of Chancery, his cup of brewed coffee going stale as he glosses over mountains of parchment with practiced precision.

In retrospect, she should have paid more attention. Realized that stepping into that den of nuanced excess would subject her to his consequent and consistent scrutiny.

Ginny catches a glimpse of neat handwriting, near visceral for all its logic, and all she could do is clamp her mouth shut. Attempt to remain inconspicuous as she grabs herself a mug of hot water (no coffee) and promptly walks away.

She relays whatever information she’s gathered to Albus.

Fifty minutes later, they turn the tides in favor of their side. Something reporters would soon label a MIRACLE. Divine intervention in the form of an unassuming intern taking a much needed break.

The moment he realizes, Tom meets her gaze from across the stands and a chill runs down her spine. His smirk is charm-soaked and lethal. Amused. (”Tom Riddle never loses a case,” Harry had warned her beforehand, worry lines accompanying the scar on his forehead.)

And when he seeks her out afterwards, she finally understands. Bury me shallow, I’ll be back. She graduated first in her class, borne mostly of her iron will and still, she shudders like a leaf.

When Albus asks her what the opposing lawyer wanted, Ginny tells them nothing.

@stagnantsaints liked this for a starter from Clarice Starling

The phone call... the end of something. Something Clarice didn’t quite understand, but how was she supposed to? The entire course of events had been confused, twisted, mutilated into something terrifying and utterly exhilarating for her. She had caught Buffalo Bill, yes, but she had also formed... something with a killer. Something she wasn’t sure of. Crawford had been right in telling her not to tell him about herself, not to tell him anything personal. 

Were the lambs still screaming... it was quieter now but perhaps only because of this loss. The turmoil and confusion that came with losing... something. Someone. Whatever Lecter had become to her, and she still wasn’t sure, but now graduation was looming before her. Her place on the Buffalo Bill case had made more of her instructors and classmates take her seriously, which had been a pleasant change even though now and then there would be a snide joke about the cannibal. It was easy to ignore, for the most part, that was until she started seeing him again..

Or thinking she was seeing him. It should terrify her, but when Lecter left she had never been afraid he’d try to find her. At least, not to kill her. So what did she feel now...? It was always in the corner of her eye, while she was walking or at the market. He’d be there and when she’d turn, he wouldn’t be. So this time she didn’t turn when she felt someone watching, tipped her head slightly, catching him in her peripheral.. Clarice was sure it was him and, perhaps stupidly, with that in mind, she started towards the end of the road. There was an alley that could get her to her apartment almost directly and while she usually wouldn’t take it.. she was hoping it would lure him out of whatever game he was playing.
