Why? I can't figure it out either, but who cares, bro?

“don’t do this.” + brightwell 🤍

personally really fond of how this one turned out lol 

established relationship. 

–

“Don’t do this.” Dani’shand comes down onto Malcolm’s as he goes to pick up a case file.

He sighs softly, unmovingfor a moment as he considers her words. He doesn’t look at her, which is very purposefulon his part, blue eyes filled with the commentary he’s having without any wordsbeing said. Her thumb curls around one of his fingers and he tries to draw itback but she won’t allow him to.

“I’m just questioning him.”He says after a moment, swallowing when his gaze finally meets her own.

They both know it’s not just questioning to him. Dani might not be a profilerbut she’s getting better at reading Bright when he’s upset, his walls come downwith the lack of control. It’s almost ironic when she thinks about it, when she’saggravated or riled up, those walls she keeps inside of herself reinforce. Butit’s like Bright can’t maintain his own when there’s too much going on, theystart to crumble and she slips between the cracks.

The perp in one of the conferencerooms already has Gil and JT, they don’t needMalcolm, not really—this all has to do with apersonal vendetta.

“You don’t need to go inthere, he’s already given everything up to book him.”

He licks his lips, movingto sit on the corner of the table. He lets go of the file and turns his wristso the palm of her hand meets his. Dani watches his eyebrows draw together ashe looks at both their hands, the way their fingers gently lace together.

She understands his knee-jerkreaction to address their killer face-to-face, “He murdered five women,” Shesays after a moment, squeezing his hand. “I get that you’re angry, that youwant to take him down a few notches, you’re not alone on that…but he’s notworth it.”

“You think this is about—”His voice clamps off, a soft scoff leaving his lips as he looks away from her.His blue eyes are incredibly conflicted, the muscle in his jaw working as hestruggles with words under his tongue. Malcolm takes a slow breath in throughhis nose before pushing the file away from himself,

“Maybe you’re right. Ishouldn’t go in there…I’ll probably end up killing him.” He’s joking, she cantell that instantly as he runs a hand through his hair. But there’s alsosomething else underlying his words, something darker, something that speaks toher about how much he means that last statement.

“I’m fine.” She sayssoftly. “I’m banged up but you…it could have been worse.” Dani swallows, glancingdown at their hands. She didn’t end up being the perp’s sixth victim but shecould have been, their honey trap taking a turn for the worse when he took herto his car.

He threw her in the back ofhis truck, taking her back to his house, stuck her in the basement—her wrists stillhurt from being kept in rusted chains. It could have been worse, she knowsthat, that what she went through infuriated Malcolm more than her but…isn’t thepoint that she’s here and safe?

“I mean it,” Brightinterrupts her thoughts, holding her gaze with an iciness in his eyes that she’snot used to. “I’ll stay in here because…I’ll end up doing something to him forwhat he did to you. And I won’t regret it.”

Dani swallows and shakesher head, “Please don’t talk like that.” She mutters because she isn’t surewhat else to say. She inches forward, slipping between his legs as he sits onthe table and he settles for wrapping his arms around her waist.

His forehead dips, pressinginto her collarbone. She can feel him breathe her in, his grip on hertightening every so slightly when she moves. Dani runs her fingers through hishair and tries to get that lookshe saw in his eyes to fade from her memory.

1. Introduction- Emma and Mr. Knightley

“Do you remember the first time we met?”

His question was so abrupt, surprising, that it made Emma stop in her tracks. Which to her mind, was quite disagreeable, as it was a lovely spring day that they ought to be enjoying by continuing on the stroll that he had invited her on, not by standing around talking about the past. As much as she enjoyed the sound of Knightley’s voice--and she did, there could be no doubt--she had no idea what had caused him to broach the subject in the first place. She turned to him with a quizzical look on her face, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

“The first time we met? I’m sure I don’t! Vaguely, perhaps, but nothing more. Why, we were so young--only children! I would be shocked if either of us could remember such a meeting.” She frowned just slightly, cocking her head to one side as she considered Knightley thoughtfully. “I suppose Papa might remember something, if you asked him. Or Isabella, seeing as she’s older. Either of them would likely be able to answer any questions you might have about the event in question. Would you like me to ask?”

Now it was his turn to look startled. “Oh--no. That will not be necessary, Emma. That...wasn’t why I was asking. It’s fine--perfectly fine, in fact. You are right, it was so very long ago. Forget I asked, truly.”

“Well, you know I simply cannot forget it, now that you’ve brought it up,” Emma chided playfully, taking his arm yet again. “But why did you ask? Do you remember when we first met?”

“Of course I do,” he answered immediately, looking rather pleased with himself. “Not every detail, mind you, but I do. You a mess of curls and an urge take charge of everything around you.”

“Remarkable, that you recall all of this.”

“Oh, Emma. I think you’ll find that I remember nearly every conversation I’ve ever had with you.”

Is Jamestown worth the watch? I’m always looking for something to fill the historical drama void in my life.

imo, yes. admittedly, it’s a little hard getting passed the first episode due to a particular scene, the second and third were a little ‘hm, well, okay…’, and then by the end of the first season, i was somehow completely invested.
