An Instinct Meet-Cute fic. CIA Agent Dylan Reinhart is on an assignment when he meets a promising young law student. “He is rather cute, isn’t he?” a smooth British voice, warm and masculine, whispered in his ear, “just your type I’d wager.”

IF you're doing instinct prompts, "with you" for lizzie and dylan? 🥺

[crying] feeling safe with your friends!

8. "with you" + dylan & lizzie

It was kind of amazing how much Lizzie had come to mean to him in such a short amount of time. They'd immediately clicked. She'd taken well to his slightly abrasive sense of humor, not taking offense where it wasn't meant and then sniping back as good as he gave it, and she'd been... kind. Understanding. Non-judgemental.

He found he trusted her, and had started to rely on her just as much as he did Andy, albeit in a different way. They were partners of another sort, but partners nonetheless. He felt safe with her in a way he did with very few people.

He'd always thought that his past had broken him, in a lot of ways. Made it hard for him to trust anyone. It had taken a while for Andy—beautiful, good-hearted Andy—to work his way into Dylan's heart. He and Julian had bonded mostly over life-or-death situations, although they'd since become closer in other ways as well.

But Lizzie had just slipped past his defenses with a wry smile, easy as could be. He'd thought he could barely trust anyone, and yet she'd earned it in practically the blink of an eye.

He wasn't sure if that was him, or just some quality she had—she'd won over Julian, too, which was no easy feat.

Whatever the case, he could only hope he helped her even a fraction of the amount that she'd helped him.

It wasn't like Lizzie had been entirely alone in that year before Dylan. Charlie was gone, and she had little to no friendly relationships at work anymore as she withdrew into herself, but she had Jas. And the guys at work, well, most of them meant well.

Her sister was really in and out, but not completely absent. She just... had her own shit to deal with.

But Dylan—Dylan had really pulled her out of her funk. She'd loved his book, had read it three times and could quote it from memory, and meeting him was... well, she'd had no idea what to expect, but it wasn't quite this: a goofy, sort of... pleasantly annoying and infuriatingly intelligent professor with a flair for style.

And there was plenty of room for the unexpected under all that tweed—a husband (at least she didn't have to worry about a wandering tongue, since he was apparently gay, although actually, come to think of it, even if he was bisexual she could already tell she wouldn't have had to have worried about it anyway, and not just because he was married—which really said something about the guys at work, unfortunately) and the fact he was apparently a real tough guy (CIA handler? paramilitary? jesus) despite appearances.

But he was also just... funny. Kind. He was willing to poke fun at her but would also listen earnestly and never treat her different for having been vulnerable, no matter how ridiculous she felt crying on the job over something as stupid as a dog.

(Not that Gary was stupid. She would have to apologize later. But just—oh, you know what she meant.)

He made her laugh, and could take jokes in stride without thinking she was actually heartless or a bitch, instead poking back. Or if she needed it, asking what was wrong.

Oh, he could be infuriating, he could say exactly the wrong thing or run off and do something stupid and put himself in danger, but she found she was growing to love him very fast. They were partners, best friends.

This is likely why, in a haze of panic, she called Dylan, of all people.

She hadn't had a nightmare this bad—this vivid, this real—since the weeks after Charlie had died.

She barely remembered the details now, only Charlie dying in her arms and the certainty that it was her fault, vague familiar shadows of old hurts, and then Charlie was Dylan, motionless and pale, and it was all her fault if she'd just been faster if she'd just seen if she'd j—

Lizzie called him.

He seemed worried, and she was sure she sounded far too frantic and incoherent despite how she was trying very hard to keep her voice steady and casual, and then he said (with a quick murmur to Andy, who she could just barely hear sleepily mumble something along the lines of go on, babe, make sure she's alright, and she felt a pang of guilt and deep affection) that he was on his way, in a tone that left no room for argument.

When he arrived, she felt like. a mess. She'd really tried to get herself together because this was frankly ridiculous, they were work partners and she was bothering at him at—fuck, what, three am? But there was no irritation on his face, not a single trace of it, only worry.

He'd pulled her into a tight hug and she'd ended up shaking apart in his arms, crying into his shoulder and feeling stupidly, stupidly vulnerable, but he only ran a gentle hand through her hair and held her tighter.

It was far more comforting than it had any right to be.

(Lizzie had always been fiercely independent, even with Charlie insisting on depending on no one, especially not a man, because she wanted to be taken seriously and it was hard enough in her line of work when she was already dating her partner, no matter how little she regretted that.

But this—didn't feel like giving up anything. She was still a little embarrassed, but even that was mostly overwhelmed with the feeling of relief. She knew, of course, he wouldn't think any less of her for this, and right now it was so very clear that he was warm and alive and here.

(Later, when they hesitantly broach the topic—because, ironically, despite both of them very much having problems with opening up, they'd always been pretty good about communicating with each other—he asks her, sort of soft and uncertain, why she'd called him and not someone else. And she'd said, like it was obvious (because it was), Because I trust you. I feel safe with you. I needed to feel safe.

And he'd looked at her like she'd slapped him. And then a little disbelieving smile touched at his lips—why on earth was he so surprised, was she going to have to get another fucking tragic backstory out of him, because it was getting sad, the absolute clown car of tragic backstories this man had—and said, very quietly but with sincerity, that he felt the same way.

She shifted a little, and said, well. Good.

And that was that.)

15, instinct. nice. Or 1? I'm terrible at choices. I'll say 15 but if you'd rather do 1, here's your chance

I did 15 with a nod toward 1 (kind of XD) (from this prompt list)

Paperwork

“I’m laughing on the outside but on the inside, I’m dying.” Lizzie moans from where her face is buried in her arms on Lieu’s desk.

“I don’t think you’re even doing the first, Lizzie.”

Lizzie peaks out from her arms just long enough to snatch the waiting coffee from her partner’s fingers. Then she’s back down, warming her hands on the paper cup. “You missed my hysteria fit ten minutes ago.”

Dylan cringes and looks out the window to the rest of the precinct. It’s a ghost town. “Is that why everyone has run for cover?”

“Shuddup.”

Taking a long sip from his own coffee mug, Dylan lets Lizzie’s silent misery stretch. Another sip.

Lizzie sniffles pathetically. Dylan rolls his eyes. And she calls him the dramatic one. 

“Would it help if I spoke to the forensics division on your behalf–”

“YES.” Lizzie shoots upright. “No takebacks! You’re talking to the boring, dry nerds about this report–” She slaps a file folder in his unwilling arms. “–and this one and…one more…” She digs through the piles on the desk.

Dylan drains the rest of his coffee and tosses the cup right as she shoves another enormous file into his newly-freed hand. “You do know that you volunteered to help the lieutenant today. Right?”

Lizzie frowns. “Dylan. She gave me the Puppy Dog Eyes. You know how hard it is when she does that.”

Dylan, arms full of someone else’s job, finds he understands perfectly. He just wishes he didn’t.

“Fine. I will talk forensics into reanalyzing these samples, but you had better clear the rest of that desk before five. Andy expects you to join us for dinner tonight and I will not be making your excuses this week.”

Waving him off, Lizzie opens the top packet on the pile. “Yes, yes. Don’t tell Doug hi for me if you see him. Sometimes he hangs around that wing of the basement.”

“Don’t worry.” Dylan smiles sharply, arms heavy with paperwork. “I will.”

“Dylan–!”

But her partner has already escaped. Bastard.

[thenhlteaissuperhot]

if you could re-draft the 2014 draft, how would it look like?

The top three are pretty much non-disputable:

1st - Leon Draisaitl (originally 3rd)

2nd - David Pastrnak (originally 25th)

3rd - William Nylander (originally 8th)

Dylan Larkin would have definitely been higher than the original 15th, Brayden Point as well (the guy was drafted 79th), Sam Reinhart would drop out of his original 2nd and so would Aaron Ekblad from his 1st. Jakub Vrana would have also been much lower than 13th - he is talented, with a great shot, but too many hold-backs surrounding and encountering him.

It's literally crazy how many complete busts that draft had in its first round - Michael Dal Colle (5th), Jake Virtanen (6th), Haydn Fleury (7th), Nick Ritchie (10th), Brendan Perlini (12th), Julius Honka (14th)... It's insane to realize that all these guys were drafted WAY before Pasta and it shows you that a high draft position doesn't automatically secure you success in the league.

challenge: prompt 2 for instinct, but make it not angsty.

So um. I got carried away. From this prompt list, here is:

Dressing Down

“Maybe I wasn’t clear enough last time.” Julian drawls, giving Dylan the most judgmental up-down he’s ever seen.

Lizzie smothers a snort. Traitor. It should’ve been her in that outfit.

Dylan poses, his eggplant colored dress shimmering in the fluorescents of the precinct office space. “No, you were plenty clear, Jules! Lizzie simply wasn’t up for being the bait today and since our fish is open to all fish in the sea…” His peanut colored lips pull into a smile.

Julian stares wryly at the lipstick that compliments the dress and Dylan’s eyeshadow rather well. The biggest issue, for Julian, is that the dress, meant for Lizzie, is much too short on Dylan. The diamond patterned fishnet stockings pressing into Dylan’s thighs aren’t helping. 

“Right.” Julian’s voice comes out louder than he intended. “Right. Well, time is of the essence if we are planning to catch this murderer. Did Lizzie help you wire up?”

Dylan taps the mic hidden in the–oh god he’s wearing a choker–

Detective Harris walks in, stack of papers in hand, ready for a late night. He stops in the doorway, turns, and retreats back to where he came from. Good, Julian thinks. Then he thinks he’s glad it wasn’t Fucci.

He hears a faint “you do not want to go in there” from the hallway. Lizzie is snickering again. Julian wishes he had his gun on him.

“You should be able to hear me. Test it?” Dylan spins on his heel perfectly, of course, and flounces out of the room. Julian stares. Since when does Dylan flounce? Fumbling, Julian hurries to put his earpiece in when the door shuts.

“Hello? Jules, can you hear me?” Julian accidentally locks eyes with Lizzie and she has the most shiteating grin on her face. Dylan’s voice, with the mic so tight to his throat, sounds as if Julian has his own ear pressed to the man’s throat himself. 

Julian is a professional. He does not shiver. He doesn’t even breathe. Maybe that is not a good thing. He clears his throat. “Right. Yes. Everything is functioning.”

If he hears Lizzie mutter “Are you sure?” he definitely doesn’t give her the two finger salute. She doesn’t see it. She’s fiddling with her phone. 

“I’ve never been a honeypot agent before!” Dylan sounds far too excited to be seducing a killer.

“Get back in here.” Julian snaps through the line.

Dylan slips back into the main room. Everything he does is graceful. Julian wishes, for once, that his friend were wearing his usual form-fitting suits instead of this. His eyes find themselves back on Dylan’s thighs. Fucking hell.

“I’ll be right back,” Lizzie announces, and practically skips toward the lobby. She shoos off some gawking officers on the other side of the glass walls.

Dylan and Julian stare at each other.

Julian wishes Lizzie had left Dylan’s usually perfectly coiffed hair alone. It looks like goddamn sex hair. Ruffled, fluffed, wrecked. A fingers-run-through-it kind of mussed. Julian wishes he’d helped instead of Lizzie. He wishes a lot of things.

Clearing his throat, Julian says: “Lizzie did a good job.”

Dylan smiles again. “Lizzie did nothing but sit on her phone, but that’s high praise from the connoisseur of dating gentlemen! When was your last boyfriend? France? ‘96?”

Julian flinches.

“Sorry.” Dylan’s voice is too quiet. 

Julian shrugs a mask on, easy as breathing. “No harm done. We never would’ve worked. I’d forgotten him almost entirely!” Dylan has that look on his face. The one that stares right through you. Julian continues. “Besides, it’s been ages. Lots of other lovely partners since.” Julian flicks his eyes to where Lizzie had disappeared and this time it’s Dylan who flinches. Then bristles.

Julian leans back in his chair, itching for a fight. It’s easier to meet than the alternative. Eyes narrowed, Dylan opens his mouth to respond, but Lizzie re-enters. 

With Andy.

Oh god. Lizzie’s conniving little face has somehow gotten more smug.

“Dylan!” Andy speeds up when he spots his husband, but when Dylan turns, delighted, Andy freezes in his tracks. “Dylan.”

Julian and Lizzie both open their mouths to defend the necessity of the mission before they really notice the look on Andy’s face. Their mouths both snap shut.

Dylan meets his husband where he’s frozen. “Hello.” He says. And Julian has to look away.

The couple converse quietly and Julian can’t stop sneaking looks at the private moment. Andy can’t seem to keep his hands to himself. Julian’s eyes track the movement. The quick press of skin on fabric. The gentle touch of Andy’s hand just under Dylan’s earring–does Dylan have pierced ears?

It doesn’t help in keeping Julian’s wandering eyes to himself that Andy is dressed down. The last time they saw each other, Andy was still at the law firm wearing those suits that made him look as rigidly uncomfortable as a Ken Doll. But this Andy…the one in a simple button down, a few buttons popped, bar towel still slung across his shoulder… his jeans… Julian looks away for as long as he can manage, but that hardly lasts a minute. 

He types blindly at his computer. It’s embarrassing that he has the code pulled up that he does. Not that anyone else knows it’s fake code, but Julian does and that’s enough to mortify him. The last time he had this screen up, he was pretending to hack the FBI for some malicious overseas contacts that were hellbent on terrorism while he waited for backup. Now he has it open to pretend not to stare at his best friend and his husband. His eyes drift back up.

Dylan is whispering in his husband’s ear and Andy’s eyes meet Julian’s. 

He should look away. Really he should. But…he’s never seen Andy like this. Andy is always so…reserved isn’t the right word. Julian can’t be bothered to find the right one. 

Andy’s hand flexes against Dylan’s hip and Julian manages to break eye contact. To stare at the unusually possessive curl of Andy’s hand against the deep purple of Dylan’s dress. God.

Then. It gets worse. Andy’s fingers uncurl from his husband’s figure, shift, then spin Dylan to face Julian.

“Well,” Andy says at a normal volume, “I won’t say I condone another undercover mission, but I will say that Jules will not be getting this dress back–” Dylan laughs. “Stay safe, sweetheart.” And he gives his husband a pack on the cheek before nudging him forward, offering him back to Julian. And Detective Needham. Lizzie. The other person that’s here. 

Julian grabs his “water” bottle and takes a swig. Maybe he should’ve filled it with tea today. He needs something calming right now.

Then Andy is gone, back to the bar, Lizzie is switching into professional mode, even if the laughter in her eyes has not diminished in the slightest. He will pay her back for this.

The mission itself is a bit of a blur. It is exceedingly difficult to concentrate with Dylan full on flirting with another man with his voice sounding as it is, but the threat to his friend’s safety overrides the temptation to lose himself in the moment.

He misses the confession, but Lizzie doesn’t, moving in to arrest the man from her position at another table in the bar. Before he knows it, the team is back in the precinct, gathered around his setup. A few of the graveyard shift officers are applauding Dylan and Lizzie, so Julian gives a few rounds of applause to fit in, but all he can do is stare at the smudge of lipstick just off of Dylan’s mouth where, logically, he must’ve taken a drink or wiped his mouth and forgotten his makeup, but all Julian can wonder is if kissing that mouth would taste like the peanuts the lipstick color is imitating.

“–Jules. Hello?” Dylan snaps his fingers. Julian jolts. The bastard grins.

“Sorry. Long 48 hours.” The excuse drops easily from Julian’s lips. Dylan smiles knowingly, Lizzie makes herself scarce. Once again: traitor.

“Well, usually Lizzie and I celebrate with Andy at the bar after we close a case, but she has ‘plans’ tonight.” Dylan clearly doesn’t believe his partner any more than Julian does. That’s the absolute least effort put into a lie he’s ever seen, but, he admits to himself, Lizzie never has been fond of lies.

“Are you inviting me in her stead?” Julian arches an eyebrow.

“Yes. Andy will be happy to see you again for more than thirty seconds.” Dylan offers a hand and Julian lets his friend help him from his chair. He holds Dylan’s hand just a moment too long. Or maybe Dylan held his. Julian feels like he’s going insane and Dylan is still in that damn dress.

Somehow he packs up his equipment and makes it out the front doors of the precinct, Dylan at his heels. In fact, Dylan’s heels are the reason Julian is determined to walk ahead of him. They make his calves look sculpted and Julian really can’t afford any distractions before getting on his motorcycle. New York driving is hellish enough and he refuses to die before getting to the bar.

TBC?
