    Summary

    They keep walking. JJ thinks of Paris. That one night—late November, raining, everything soaked to the bone. JJ had forgotten the key to their rented apartment. Emily, without hesitation, had pulled a bobby pin from JJ’s hair and knelt down at the lock like she’d been waiting for this moment all of her life. She looked up at her, eyes bright, and said, “Told you I was built for a life of crime.”

    JJ had laughed so hard she choked on the rain.

    God, she’d forgotten how good it feels to laugh with Emily. It’s like warming your hands on a stove you thought was broken.

    She says, “I have tea at home. And Henry was asking for you. You could—”

    Emily cuts in gently, a small smile playing on her lips. “You know I will, Jayj.”

    or: Emily and JJ after 18x03, slowly figuring out what they mean to each other.

    Summary

    JJ had always used work and routines to help process her grief.

    JJ had also disobeyed Emily’s direct orders, and she realised that maybe she’d came back to work too soon after Will’s death.

    Emily hadn’t meant for her joke to go sideways. JJ hadn’t meant to snap when her feelings did a one eighty. Love was messy. It was messier when you’ve been yearning for each other subconsciously (or not) for twenty years.

    Angry jemily (or Emily) love confession, set during 18x05.

    Summary

    The first time JJ ever kissed a girl, she was sixteen years old. In fact, the first time JJ kissed anyone, she was sixteen.

    It takes her about thirty years to come to terms with what that means. 

    Or: 5 Times JJ questions her sexuality, and the 1 time she comes to terms with it. (And a few more times in-between.)

    Summary

    Veronica has made what she acknowledges is considerable progress in her mission of becoming an objectively good person. But what Cheryl is—mean, contemptuous, hyper-critical—is what Veronica used to be. And when she’s prompted to defend herself against some demeaning allegation, lapsing back is really, really easy.

    Cheryl smiles, much too casually, and begins. “As a firsthand witness to your ill-advised, gratuitous lip-lock with Betty Cooper at the Vixen tryouts, I assume you have no qualms about kissing girls?”

    Veronica lapses back. Because it’s easy.

    “No qualms about kissing girls,” she responds with a shrug. “Many qualms about kissing the winner of hell’s Jessica Rabbit look-alike contest.”

    -

    Or, three times Veronica spins the bottle. And Betty's reaction each time.

    Summary

    “Please,” Lena says, shrugging her shoulders. “You know you’re my favourite. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’re my favourite. You’re acting like this is brand new information.”

    And that's—

    Wow. To hear Lena say this, to know that this still holds true even after everything that has happened… Kara flushes. She fiddles with her belt, exhales softly.

    or Lena is a terrible enabler. Kara wants anything and everything Lena will give her, and underneath the weight of such gentle, earnest warmth, it keeps escaping Kara why that is dangerous.
