Temily! That's a fun one, but it has its downsides. Namely that I think Tara and Emily are just so much alike as people. Their backstories are even kind of similar with them both growing up abroad and speaking multiple languages. Tara has a more working class bent to her version as her dad was in the military.
Those similarities can make for interesting dynamics, especially when we toss in their differences or try to fill in the blanks that exist in canon. For example, I like playing around with the difference types of loneliness they experienced as kids. With Emily, we know she had a hard time fitting in in Italy. I can't imagine Tara as a tall for her age Black girl science nerd was queen of the scene, something I absolutely plan to dig into more in fic.
I also think they're very sweet together. Their similarities lead to a lot of close, quiet understanding. I love when the show has these moments of the two of them together like drinking on the balcony during the Linda Barnes mess or smoking on the roof in Evolution. They have this very beautiful trust that comes from the two of them thinking so much alike that words aren't even necessary.
And also, Emily just goes mooney-eyed at Tara at the drop of a hat.
Look at that beautiful dope in a terrible wig! Looking another beautiful dope in a terrible wig (while I'm being brutally honest, I really hate the wigs on this show. That's the only thing that's actually gotten better in CME)! That's love, I tell ya!
Anyway, Temily is great and I should write more of them.
