#shoutout to charlie for the original 'jeremy drawing the crew logo' idea

[writerofshit]

So... Ok. Hear me out.

Jeremy first joins the crew as... Not a fan, per se, but a guy with a minor criminal background who finds the Fakes fascinating. Mostly keeping an eye on headlines, following the police chases on the news. Ok, so he kind of drew their logo for them, what about it?

He's always figured that the wild shit they get up to is a product of a bunch of big personalities with bigger voices, all combining to result in some batshit heist ideas. Where else would using a fire truck as an getaway vehicle come from? What singular person would come up with some of those codenames? Peef Rimgar? Fedge Gondola? Surely that's a group of people throwing letters at a wall, right?

And he still thinks that, for the first few months. Everybody tossing in their two cents, and the crew comes to an agreement on what should stick.

Except... Jeremy starts to notice a pattern. At first he thinks he's imagining it, is just latching on to this thought because he and Gavin didn't exactly get along in the beginning. Ok, he found Gavin ridiculously grating and full of himself with nothing to back it up. Same difference.

But Gavin does have something to back up his smugness. Because you see, this pattern that Jeremy noticed? All of the best ideas come from Gavin. The best names, too, though maybe less important. Every successful heist stems from Gavin's input. Every outrageous high they've ever ridden... It usually starts with Gavin saying "So, what if we..." and the rest of the crew teases him, Michael calls him a moron, and then they go along with it anyway. It'll at least make a good story, they always say.

Gavin just has this knack for knowing what will work. He'll pluck a plan out of thin air that absolutely should not work... But it does. Robbing some fuck-off billionaire's mansion on a random Tuesday with very little prep should not end well. Except yeah, they've managed to show up right during a shift change and all the guards are too distracted with small talk to notice the priceless paintings being marched out by guys in painter's suits. Anybody else would figure extra guards means extra trouble, but no. Gavin's right on the money.

In the beginning, Jeremy dismissed every one of Gavin's left field thoughts, but now?

Now he's the first one to back him up. Gavin doesn't have to explain his reasoning or lay out anything for Jeremy- Jeremy buys in the second the words are out of Gavin's mouth. Because in the end, whatever his plan is, it'll work out for the best. It'll be a good take and a better time.

Hell, just the extraordinary experience of knowing Gavin is worth it all in the end.
