Pairing: Angus Macgyver x FemReader
Warnings: fluff, minor angst, just two first time parents trying to figure it out
Summary: Much to your dismay your shared child seems to take after Mac and his curious ways. You had heard the stories about his unique childhood and if you didn’t get it under control soon, your daughter was bound to follow right in his foot steps.

When you had first started dating Mac there had never really been any rules. It wasn’t until you moved in together you finally had to put some in place. You had you tripped over one to many contraptions and been a little too close to some minor explosions that had you deciding on no experiments in the house. After a minor fight he finally agreed and Mac followed that rule to the best of his abilities and you appreciated him for it.
What you had never expected was having a kid just like him. You don’t know why it never crossed your mind that it was possible for your child to have Mac’s intelligence. To be honest you wished you would’ve and you could’ve prepared yourself for all that was to come with a curious mind desperate to learn. You had heard all those stories about Mac when he was a kid, blowing up football fields and smoking out labs, but none of it ever really felt real until now. They finally felt real because your daughter had now taken it upon herself to do science experiments anywhere she can.
You had left for only ten minutes. That was it. Ten peaceful minutes to go out and do some minor yard work. She was reading a Nancy Drew book on the couch when you left but when you had returned, the eight year old girl had covered the kitchen in what looked like some sort of green foam. It takes your mind only a second to go haywire, panic setting in, fear of chemicals, and misdirected anger at your husband.
“Jackie! What is going on?” you rush towards her, making quick work of pulling her away from the mess.
“Elephant toothpaste, I saw it on TV and Dad told me how to make it” you were sure smoke was steaming out of your ears by now. As proud as you were for how smart your daughter was, these actions could become hazardous.
“Honey, I need you to tell me what exactly is in elephant toothpaste?” you ask as calmly as you can, keeping your voice even as if to not scare her off.
“Hydrogen peroxide, yeast, dish soap, water, and food coloring for some fun!” she claps excitedly, eyeing that very mixture on the kitchen counter. Now calming over the harmless ingredients you look at where she has some foam now stuck in her curly blonde hair.
“All that made a huge mess in my kitchen?” you ask, reaching for a dish towel and wiping away as much as you can in her hair.
“Well I tripled the recipe for a bigger explosion” she says as if the sentence alone doesn’t make your heart stutter. Letting out a deep sigh you stand back up and start to guide her to the bathroom.
“You definitely are you father’s daughter” you mutter, hands squeezing her shoulders.
“You should’ve seen it Mom, it was huge!” she cheers excitedly as you start down the hallway.
“Let’s get you in the bath” you tell her and she just smiles wide, clearly content with what she had just accomplished and you now had to clean up.
Once filling the tub with warm water you help your daughter step out of her elephant toothpaste splattered dress and into the bath. Offering her a bath bomb she keeps her curious mind occupied as you step out and figure out how to prepare yourself for the cleaning you had ahead of you.
“What happened here?” you find your blonde husband with an amused smile on his face, eyes scanning the green foam.
“Someone decided to make elephant toothpaste, have any idea where she got that from?” you ask crossing your arms and Mac looks up to find you are not as amused as him in this situation.
“Shit baby I’m so sorry. I didn’t think she’d actually attempt it, much less inside the house” he says walking over to you and you sigh, trying your best to not place all the blame on him.
“It’s fine, I just have to figure out how to clean it now” you say, hands reaching up to push the hair out of your face. It had already been a long day and the last thing you needed was this.
“It’s okay, I got it. I’ve done elephant toothpaste a time or two” he says, hands reaching to squeeze each of your arms, and you offer a weak smile.
“She’s gonna be trouble, just like you” you say with an accusing finger and Mac smiles before pulling you close and wrapping his arms around your waist.
“Maybe, but at least I know how to handle it. When I was blowing things up I never had anyone who understood me” Mac says and you give him a panicked look.
“I didn’t say anything about blowing things up” you tell him, head beginning to shake and Mac quickly stops you.
“I know but I happened to remove an entire football field once in my life. Maybe I can keep hers contained to a small park or something” he teases but you give him a stern look that says you’re not ready to joke about this just quite yet.
“How about no explosions and no more experiments in our home?” you say and Mac clearly mulls it over. You know he wants to cater to his daughter’s curious mind, provide her with every opportunity he could to learn, but could that be done at the expense of your kitchen?
“One explosion and experiments in the yard?” he counter offers and you sigh.
“No explosions and experiments small enough to not alert neighbors in the yard” you finalize and he nods with a grin.
“I can accept that” he says before pressing a chaste kiss to your lips. “Now where’s our little scientist, I want to applaud her”
“She’s taking a bath, you can say hi after you clean up this mess” you tell him, hands pressing against his chest and in the direction of the green foam.
“And what about you?” he asks, a small pout to his lips and you slowly press a kiss to them. The pout gone in seconds.
“I’m going to help her out of the bath and then we’re going to set some rules” you tell him and he nods, saluting you as you walk back to the bathroom to find Jackie hadn’t even washed her hair yet.
It’s only an hour later you finally have the small girl in fresh pajamas, damp hair combed, and sat between you and Mac on the couch. The Nancy Drew book from before is open on her lap and you finally give Mac a look to tell him it’s time to set some rules and create boundaries for her.
“Jackie honey?” you coo, fingers reaching to push away the book for a moment.
“Yeah Mom?” she says, half distracted and trying to chase the page as it moves away from her.
“We wanted to talk to you about your little experiment today” you tell her and Mac nodded, blue eyes finding his daughter’s matching ones.
“Yeah honey, just a quick chat” and at her father’s words she finally closes the book on her lap.
“We love that you enjoy learning new things. It’s amazing the things you already understand, but we need to set some rules” you tell her and a sad look flashes across her features in seconds.
“You made a big mess today, one that worried your Mom. So there can’t be anymore experiments in the house” Mac says and the girls is instantly defeated, a gasp leaving her mouth.
“But Dad, it was just elephant toothpaste. It wasn’t dangerous!” she whines and Mac shakes his head, staying firm and on your side.
“Yeah but your Mom didn’t know that. So there is going to be no more experiments in this house unless approved and supervised by one of us” he tells her and her lip instantly quivers as her arms cross over her chest.
“But you and Dad can do as many experiments in the yard as you want and he’s also agreed to bring you to his lab at work once a week to learn something new” you comfort the sad girl, arm wrapping around her.
“You promise?” she asks, hopeful eyes looking up at her Dad.
“Of course honey, pinky promise. We want you to grow and learn but science can be dangerous and it’s important we treat every experiment as that” he tells her and she nods even though you know she’s not entirely on board yet.
“Does that mean I have to tell you about the habitat I’m growing in my closet?” she whispers and you flash a worried look to Mac who is trying his best not to laugh.
“Well, why don’t we go find out” he says, standing and lifting the girl to dangle over his shoulder. The giggles and squeals she lets out are a stark contrast to the somber mood she was just in and you can’t help but smile as you watch them disappear down the hallway.
“Is that a toad?!” you hear Mac’s voice bellow down the hallway and you are quick to stand to your feet and rush down the hallway.
“Oh hell no”

I get that Mac never fails, but in season one when Matty is all “if you mess up one time the word inprovise falls out of your vocabulary” (direct quote because I’m rewatching it now) I think it would’ve been really nice to see that happen. Mac messes up a mission, and loses the freedom to do his thing. We get an episode where he goes on missions normally, maybe the cold open along with the episode to show that it’s been a hot minute and he can function fine as a normal agent. The next episode, something happens at the phoenix building and Matty is unable to have any agents solve it by normal means. Mac swoops in and is all “cmon boss like ya gotta let me do my thing if we want the phoenix to be saved” and she gives him the OK and he saves the day. Matty sees that letting Mac do his thing isn’t a risk or whatever and everything returns to normal, with Matty having a newfound trust in Mac!

*They accidentally knock Russ out and wrap him in a carpet to try and hide him but Matty walks in and is staring at them*
Mac: Uhh. We’re playing a game.
Matty: What’s it called?
Riley: Guy in a carpet.

I asked Jamie the same thing a few days, but I want a wider range of thoughts. My opinion personally is that I think Matty looks and (most of the time) behaves older, she’s definitely got a maturer face too, but in reality Sandrine Holt is older than Meredith Eaton by two years. Plus Patti has such tired wine mom/aunt™️ energy, I could see it being her too.

I haven't watched the 2016 MacGyver reboot for a while [I don't even know of there is still a fandom on Tumblr for it] and I've decided to rewatch it. I'm already remembering certain things that I had forgotten. If you're interested, spoilers under the cut.
The first three and a half seasons with the core cast of Mac, Riley, Jack, Matty and Bozer were just amazing. The cast chemistry was really good, and the show never really recovered from George Eads leaving. Jack really was the heart of the show.
I will never understand why they put Desi and Max together, the relationship was really toxic and Lucas and Levi didn't have chemistry imo. The whole Mac and Desi relationship is at the expense of Mac's already established relationships tbh.
I never really kept up behind the scenes stuff, but did Lucas and Justin have beef at one point? I noticed in the latter episodes, that Mac and Bozers supposed life long friendship just vanished and Mac always seem annoyed at Bozer for just existing. In fact Mac very rarely has a scene that doesn't involve Desi, and that is annoying. At least let him interact with other characters. I wonder if this is something they really wanted to address if they had got a season 6.
I love Matty. Meredith is brilliant at playing her. Matty is one of my favourite characters.
I genuinely don't mind Russ Taylor. He's a good and mysterious addition. Henry did well.

The cool breeze from outside drifted in the house and gave it a light glow. The weather had been absolutely gorgeous the past few days, warm with a light breeze paired with it. It was what caused you to open all the windows and allow it to flood the home. With the day off from work you spent your time in the kitchen, enjoying the breeze, and baking for what felt like the first time in months. Just as you started pulling out some cookies from the oven the doorbell sounded throughout the house.
"Come in!" you called out as you shut the oven with your foot and started to walk towards the opposing counter to set the trays down.
"Wow it smells great in here" you looked up to spot your blonde neighbor standing in the entry way of the kitchen, holding up a stack of mail. "The new guy gave me your mail again"
"I think he's doing it on purpose now" you chuckled and he smiled and nodded as he walked further in and set it on the counter. You quickly removed the oven mitts and grabbed the stack.
"Well that or he really has no clue he's mixing it up" Mac suggested and you nodded as you shuffled through some bills which honestly could've stayed at his house.
"Well we can't totally complain. We've lived next to each other for years and I finally know your name from the amount of times I've received your letters" Mac laughed at the comment as you set the mail down.
"Yeah I definitely can't complain" Mac's gaze hardened on you and you struggled to keep your composure. The suggestive look in his ocean blue eyes made your skin crawl.
"Would you like some cookies. I've been bored baking all day and I think I should start offering before I gain five pounds" you moved over towards the cookies to distract yourself from the close proximity between you and the oddly handsome neighbor.
"Bored baking?" Mac questioned as he leaned against the counter. You shrugged as you started to cool one off to hand to him.
"It’s a thing, trust me. It keeps me occupied" you said handing the now cooled and gooey cookie to the boy, he rose his eyebrows as he grabbed it from your hand. Slowly he took a bite out of it and then smiled. "What?"
"Nothing it's just this cookie is really good. Better than Bozer's but don't tell him I said that" you chuckled and grabbed one for yourself as he finished his.
"Well then I guess I did something right?" Mac brushed his hands on his pants and stared at the gorgeous girl beside him and he wondered how he had never noticed you before. If he was being completely honest, two weeks ago he practically camped out on his front porch to corner the new mail man and tell him to keep mixing up your mail. It was the perfect excuse to keep coming over and seeing you.
"Well now that you've let me try one of your delicious cookies how about you try one of my delicious dinners?" your eyes widened as you looked up at the boy. He offered a small smile, the dimple in his left cheek catching your attention.
"And what makes them so delicious?" a smirk graced your lips as you looked up to him and he chuckled softly.
"I have a secret weapon named Bozer" a large laugh fell past your lips at his answer and when your laughter quieted down he looked at you just like he did before. "So what do you say?"
"Well, I mean it's only fair"

Rewatching Macgyver and I just thought of something
Max ~ brains
Riley ~ eyes
Jack ~ muscle
Bozer ~ heart
Matty ~ voice
This is what made them such a great, well balanced team
They all had each other’s back and their own reason and position for being there
(Just me crying in one of my fave tropes - found family)

We deserved a Macgyver and Criminal minds crossover. I want to see Reid and Mac bonding over being smart and Hotch and Matty bonding over leading and Garcia and Prentiss vibing with Riley about technology and having a past goth phase. Where is JJ and Sam being blonde together. Where is Derek and Jack. Why is there no bozer and Luke or like group bonding between the two teams? It would be so nice

I would’ve given my left foot to see Matty and Thornton interact in MacGyver. Like a proper full-on relationship of sorts. I need to see the scary women talk in their natural habitats

SNIPPET SATURDAY
A little Matty and Jack season 5 idea I've been trying to cultivate into a fic. Because there's no way Jack, after trying, and failing, to get in touch with Mac multiple times no doubt about his suspicions wouldn't reach out to another member of his family.
"Research only... That's all... That's it," Jack implores. "The kids stay there, Matty. Ground them. Hell, lock 'em up if you need to... Just-just keep 'em away from where I'm at."
Matty scoffs. "You know as well as I do, Jack, that locking any of them up, especially Mac, won't work."
Jack scrubs a hand roughly down his face and drops heavily back into his chair.
"I know... Patty tried that once. Macgyver proof room she insisted it was," he snorts and shakes his head, voice equal parts pride and exasperation. "Took the kid less than 5 minutes to escape from it."
Jack sighs. His face fills the entirety of the video screen as he leans forwards, his brown eyes beseeching as he stares at her.
"Lie to them, then. I don't care," he says, voice thick as he pleads with her. "Just promise me, Matty... Promise me they won't use whatever Intel they uncover to follow me. Or use it themselves and go all Lone Wolf. I know they want to help, I do... And, God, do I wish I had Team Improvise right beside me... But I can't risk it, Matty. I can't... You don't know Kovac like I do."
His voice breaks and even through the shaky resolution of the video feed from half way around the world and channeled through multiple satellites she can see the shuddering of his chest as he inhales.
"I'll tell them the truth, Jack," Matty tells him as she holds his gaze. "I'll tell them your concerns... Your fears. And for you, they will stay put. For you, they will keep themselves out of the path of danger."
