jemily how to lose a guy in 10 days au

penelope, jj's best friend, is constantly getting ghosted and is sure it's because the guys she's seeing aren't attracted to her. jj's like "actually that's not true, you're gorgeous however you're also a little nuts babe". penelope asserts that jj doing the same things wouldn't drive someone away, and jj's like okay bet.

emily is, to put it bluntly, a fuckboy. her coworker & singular ex who she managed to stay friends with, tara, bets her that she can't stay with the same woman for more than a week. emily is like...care to wager & they agree that if emily wins she gets to move into tara's cutie corner office with all the windows and tara has to move into emily's cramped little office near the copy room.

jj & emily end up at the same bar that night, sparks fly and they both decide that this is who they're spending the next week with. jj's doing absolutely everything she can to make emily regret ever talking to her, emily's suffering big time (jj adopted her a fucking cat???), and tara and penelope are honestly just giggling bc this is the funniest thing they could've possibly done.

"you're already falling in love with me" "i'm going to make you wish you were dead"

Tenelope in Criminal Minds 15x10 “And in the end”

[reidingrainbow]

Penelope: Guess what number I'm thinking of.

Luke: 420?

Penelope: No, that's really immature of you. Someone else guess, and please take this seriously.

Tara: 69.

Penelope: Yeah it was 69.

I'm attaching my request guidelines below the readmore as well.

Happy requesting! :)

Just a quick PSA to Criminal Minds fanfic writers about a little pet peeve of mine!

I'm seeing more people dabble in Temily and write more of Tara in their fics, and as the resident expert on all things Tara Lewis (/hj), I cannot stress enough how WONDERFUL that is! She is one of the best characters on the show and has been so neglected and undervalued by both canon and fanon, and it is so, so great that you're giving her a chance to shine! Thank you for that!

HOWEVER:

I have seen quite a few fics in which another character--usually Emily or Penelope--calls Tara "T." Seems cute, I know, and we all love to show intimacy between characters by having them use nicknames for each other. But 12x07 (Mirror Image), which is a fantastic episode and one of the few Tara-centric ones we get, makes a point of really driving home the fact that Tara's brother, Gabriel, is the only one who is ever allowed to call her "T."

Now, I'm not saying you have to stick to canon. Canon is just a jumping off point! If you enjoy having Emily or Penelope or someone else who isn't Gabriel call Tara "T," then go ahead and do that. It's your fic, and you should write what you want, and it's not even going to stop a stickler like me from enjoying your work and appreciating your contribution to the fandom. But I put this out there for anyone who might not know or might have forgotten about Mirror Image, in case you want to write about Tara while keeping canon aspects of her character that suit your story. Because canon honestly didn't give us many details about her character, but not calling her "T" is a pretty big one.

Friday Monday Fic Recs

What I've Been Reading:

JJ/Emily, Tara/Penelope || Rated: E || WC: 43,369 Author: @swpf

Why I Love It: This is such a great read! The introspective look at all of these women is both refreshing and titillating. I love both of these ships and watching two couples try (and often fail) to get the other pair together is one of my favourite fic tropes.

Tara/Rebecca || Rated: E || WC: 3132 Author: swpf

Why I Love It: If you want my full essay about how perfect this look at Tara/Rebecca is,, check the comment section of the fic. In the meantime, just know this is a beautiful piece that explores what it was like for Rebecca to watch Tara diffuse a bomb in the field in 17x06 and how that led to them getting back together.

Tara/Penelope || Rated: T || WC: 14,714 Author: swpf

Why I Love It: Hot butch mechanic Tara Lewis, need I say more?? This AU is delicious. The interactions between Penelope and Tara are so enthralling, I couldn't stop reading. This is an incredible little AU full of hilarity and queer joy. (And Queer Joy 😏)

JJ/Emily/Tara || Rated: E || WC: 1376 Author: Anonymous

Why I Love It: Je T'Emily smut!!!!! This is just extremely sexy.

Tara/Emily || Rated: T || WC: 1103 Author: @mammothluv

Why I Love It: The balcony scene in 13x16 is one of my favourite Temily moments in canon. This was a beautiful take on that scene and just a really wholesome fic. I'm always a sucker for Temily fluff.

What I've Been Writing:

Tara/Penelope || Rated: E ||WC: 13,268+ (WIP)

Notes: After this 'one-shot' evolved into a three chapter fic, I've decided to continue exploring this dynamic. There is definitely more to come, after putting together an outline of where I want this one to go, I think it could be around 8 chapters in total. Stay tuned for more hot, sexy, Dom Penelope!

[UNTITLED HOLIDAY FIC]

JJ/Tara || WC: TBD

Notes: It's that time of year again! This year's holiday romcom will focus on JJ/Tara! In the same vein of Homo For the Holidays, I'm planning for this to be a festive, Hallmark-esque, tropetastic, romcom fic.

[Ready To Be Loved - A Fooled Around Interlude]

Derek/Luke, Luke/Spencer || WC: TBD

Notes: This is the second installment of my three-part Fooled Around expansion! I'm so excited to share this look at how Luke and Derek came to be a couple. I've wanted to explore their relationship more ever since I wrote FAAFIL - Part 2. Not sure when this will be ready for posting, so just keep an eye out!

ICYMI:

JJ/Tara || Rated: G || WC: 1932

Summary: In the Jareau-Lewis household, there was a Halloween tradition of rotating who got to choose the family costumes each year. This year, it was six-year-old Michael's duty to choose the theme of their costumes…
