If you wanted someone to ship Tim and Lucy without ever having seen The Rookie, what scene would you send them to watch?

She knows. And she wanted to.

@chenford4life Idk if there's a better resolution out there but this is what I had in my saved pics!

can someone send me that framed photo of Isabel because I could not find it.

There’s a way that panic can make you feel nauseous, and he has to swallow hard before he can get the words out.  “Tell me what you need me to do.”

Trudie gives him an approving smile, like a teacher with a student who’s given the right answer.  “You’re going to help me steal a statue.”

The Knave of Clubs . . . swears he'll take her part

liner notes below the cut

First things first.  Yes, Iris is in this alot.  No, there is no secret marriage. This is not a spoiler, this was referenced in the previous story in this series. The Carlos in this universe is a step to the left of the Carlos in canon, and he has different experiences.  Also, this is my unhinged AU, which means I get to pick and choose which bits of canon I work with.   I did not vibe with that one.

Second things second.  This was going to be a caper, y'all.  It was going to be a short caper.  Carlos and TK were going to go to NOLA and help the Leverage crew take care of some business , and, I don't know, eat beignets and popsicles.  Why popsicles and not po'boys?  Because the last time I was in NOLA I had the best popsicles of my life - they sadly no longer exist, but I can resurrect them for fic.  I also had excellent po'boys, but the popsicles were better.

[eyes fic] I don't know what happened?  Okay, I do know.  One of the weird upsides to writing a series is that you get to deal in consequences and messy afters, and the way that making a decision isn't the end to that decision, and what you did last time around keeps echoing in what you do this time.  Nothing exists in isolation.  And, I love love a story about what happens after - after the war, after the quest, after the reveal.  How do you rebuild, what happens next.  That is my die-hard kink.  Also, there was S4 of Lonestar and I had . . . thoughts, questions, concerns, reactions.  I worked them out in fic.

Third things third.  My characterization of Trudie in this fic owes a debt to Mags Bennett in S2 of Justified.  She was terrifying, and ruthless, and totally in control, and one of the most interesting characters - she's why that season was so good.  Also, go watch Justified, it's fantastic.

Fourth things last.  As ever, don't try this at home y'all, this is not how any of this works.

Reference links in final chapter, because see previous notes about being too much of a geek not to footnote.

And finally, the chapters aren't for @rmd-writes, but they're not not for her either (sorry @freneticfloetry- but this time, the structure did actually lend itself to chapters).

#HELLS YEAH #I needed this #tarlos

I don't go here, but learning about the chenford break up through your posts feels exactly like experiencing the tarlos break up live. going from oh this is the bad place to here's how I make it worse >:) is making me so nostalgic asdfasdf

I AM SO SORRY, but I'm just SOOO shook lmao. I got into chenford/ The Rookie to fill in the tarlos void during this long ass break (which it did) and now I'm watching live and ofc this happens!

Without spoiling anything, s5 was when they got their shit together and for lack of better words it was AHHHHH FUCKING FINALLY!!! (cant imagine for those watching these two since 2018, but it was amazing) and now on s6 they did... that.

The 3 week hiatus after they broke up, the waiting, is making it so mind boggling (the good way ig) just like we found out about the tarlos break up just before s3 aired 😭

As someone that has been through both break ups, Tumblr is cheaper than therapy and I'm thankful I can take everyone through this journey with me willingly, or not *Insert gif with Pedro Pascual laughing manically and then cries*

*January 2022 and April 2024 will for sure go down in the books for me 😂

Thanks for the ask <3!

#asks #me losing my mind about tv? yes ofc. nothing to see #there's also a tornado watch in my area so I might be freaking out of the usual today 😂

WHAT IF TIM SEES LUCY ALL DRESSED UP AFTER WORK AND THINKS SHE HAS A DATE BUT IN REALITY SHE'S JUST HEADING TO TAMARA'S GOING AWAY PARTY? THEN WHAT??!

Started watching Dead Boy Detectives. It's as fun and delightful as I anticipated. And it also made me shriek with laughter at this:

Ep 3. The Case of the Devlin House

#reminds me of when I was 15 and I lived in a developing country #I’ve said similar words to a friend 💀 #it was rather funny bc idk how to be comforting when people are sad #maybe on the spectrum 🥲

[watmalik]

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!
