a lot of people think that Emily and Lauren are separate people and thus, Lauren was in love with Doyle and some part of Emily was too. What do you think of this? I disagree and I think that mostly Emily has a very clear imagine of who she was dealing with but sometimes the lines blurred a little, whether she was seeing him being soft with his son or Ian having a brief moment of kindness, but I think right after that he’d do something horrible that snaps her right out of it. I don’t think she was ever in love with him and the idea that she was is literally crazy😭

Ohh interesting.

I think she loved him. I don't think it was ever simple. Like I don't think she ever thought he was a good person. But nobody is all bad, and I honestly think for some people (me, for example) it's very hard to be that close to a person and not love them at least a bit. I think she saw the humanity of him, and for some people. . . love is how they approach humanity. And then on top of that, she's having to do all the things that physically, chemically make us fall harder for a person, to do her job.

And I don't think Emily grew up with the right kind of love around her - I think she's always been someone who was starved for love and affection, and I think having the kind of too-bright love Ian had for Lauren would be so addictive.

Everything is chemicals, love especially. So yeah I think she loved him, and I think it was complicated.

I also don't think he was like on the daily doing terrible things. I think being as high level as he was, day to day at home with her, he was probably just a guy. And idk how much you know about the IRA, but. . . there are still a lot of people who basically agree with their principles and that their methods were an acceptable means to an end. He 'went freelance' obv but he was raised in a set of beliefs that I don't actually think would've felt outlandishly evil to her. And I don't think she thought, even then, that she was squeaky clean. She's exceptionally nonjudgmental.

I think she was there to do her job and she was always going to build the best profile she could and get him arrested and locked up, but I think it felt complicated. I don't think Lauren felt completely separate from her.

All that was a long way of saying I think you're right that she had a clear idea of exactly who she was dealing with. But you can love someone a lot without thinking they're a good person.

One of my favourite things about this arc is that it introduces so much complexity. Like there are a lot of reasonable ways to interpret this imo.

Emily: Well we all like a bad boy don't we?

Garcia: Yeah, not a fucking terrorist though Emily!

Update on CM Screenplay FIC

The first four parts are now posted on FFN. I also finally came up with a title for the complete series - “Past, Present, and What if?”, which comes from the three Emily Prentiss relationships I focus on i.e. Ian Doyle (Past), Derek Morgan (Present --  tbh I spent days trying to decide if this was going to be Demily or Hotchniss, but Demily just ended up making much more sense with the trajectory of the story-- Hotchniss deserves its own fic), and Jennifer Jareau (What if?) 

Here’s the links to the first six parts. I’ll update this when the next parts are posted (I have 7 in progress, but I’m holding off on posting for a while in hopes of feedback and finishing more of it)

If anyone is interested in hearing the meaning behind each title, I could talk about it for pages so feel free to ask! Some of it is evident in the stories though!

Well, hello there. Long time no see. Except in my revenge fantasies where I see you on an hourly basis.

Ian Doyle to Emily Prentiss 

[arwenlalaith]

anyway send me Demily, Dentiss, or Prentiss/Blake prompts cause I’m bored

[alittlebitofbeautifuldelights]

Is it ever talked about that episode of Criminal Minds when Emily has to “appeal to the unsub.” S4 E9. She has to pretend to like this guy to get information out of him (Viper) and she says “Oh this is gonna suck.” Then when she’s in the locker room getting ready and Hotch comes in to check on her she says “I’ve actually dated people worse than Viper.” Like???? She’s talking about Ian Doyle. She doesn’t want to do it because she’s already had to do that before....and look how that worked out. But still she does it because that’s who she is, she’s headstrong and will do anything to catch their serial killer. Emily went undercover and was Lauren Reynolds who fell in love with Ian Doyle. But there’s always that line that she never crosses or explains, where I believe she actually fell in love with him. I’m rewatching season 5 and I just made this connection.

Ink Veiled Sins (Teaser/Preview)

AN: This is just...a little teaser, preview of my new Criminal Minds fic. It’s been quite a long, long time since I’ve written for Criminal Minds, so I’m not as sure about characterisation. Which is why I’m posting this little preview, I’d love to hear feedback on it! Now, please keep in mind, this fic will be an Emily Prentiss/Ian Doyle story. It’s a reimagining of Emily’s season 6 ‘Lauren’ arc. 

Please, please, please, give me any kind of feedback. I’d love to know thoughts and constructive criticism since I’ve been out of this fandom for a while. 

“That tattoo is familiar…” JJ murmured as the team scanned over the photos of Doyle’s arrest and Emily’s time undercover. The image of the clover was imprinted in her mind, the details exact and intricate – taking her a moment to realize just where she’d seen it before. “Emily has that tattoo!” She exclaimed after a moment, eyes wide as she glanced around at her team.

The faces that looked back were all of confusion and concern. “Do you think it’s possible Doyle had Emily get the tattoo when she was undercover? To prove some kind of loyalty?” Reid theorized out loud, eyes focused on a picture of Doyle with a clear view of the tattoo on the man’s wrist.

“No,” JJ shook her head, her own brows furrowing as she thought back on the memory. “She…told me she got it for an old lover,” JJ continued, “She still has it. Why wouldn’t she get it removed if she was forced to get it?”

“It doesn’t make sense…” Morgan interrupted, frowning deeply. He’s seen the tattoo himself but he hadn’t noticed the similarities like JJ had.

“Unless,” Hotch began, “She was far more comfortable with Doyle then she let on. But everything we’ve seen of her undercover life… It’s a possibility she compromised herself,” the Unit Chief surmised with a sigh.

“If that’s the case then her disappearing act might have more meaning then we originally thought,” Rossi contributed, voice low as he thought of the possibilities.

“JJ, when Emily was telling you about the tattoo, how did she seem? What exactly did she say?” Hotch asked, eyes fixed on the blonde agent.

JJ grimaced, shaking her head a little. “It was a couple years ago Hotch…”

“Just tell us whatever you can remember about the interaction.”

“Okay,” JJ nodded. “She seemed…wistful…”

Emily had just stepped out of the dingy hotel bathroom, finally in her pyjamas when JJ noticed a dark spot of skin peaking out over the waistband of Emily’s sleep shorts. She’d known Emily ahd tattoos but she hadn’t ever thought of asking the other woman where. Now, seeing the peak of inked skin, she was curious.

“Em, what’s that?” she asked curiously, eyes darting down to the other woman’s shorts to indicate her half hidden tattoo.

Emily frowned before looking down and realizing what JJ was referring to. “Oh… It’s one of my tattoos,” Emily told her with a shrug, hand fiddling with her waistband now.

“Can I see it?” JJ asked, smiling hopefully at her friend.

Emily chuckled, shaking her head. She knew she probably shouldn’t but she also knew it’d be more suspicious if she didn’t.

“Sure. It’s a clover,” she nodded, biting her lip as she pulled the waist down a little further to reveal the whole tattoo.

JJ nodded, glancing curiously before Emily covered it again. She couldn’t help but wonder why a clover.

“It’s a lot of detail,” she admired. “But why a clover?”

She watched then as Emily bit her lip, mind clearly thinking about her answer. Somehow Emily’s moment to think made her more curious about it.

“I got it when I was dating this man…He was Irish. Hence, the clover. It seems silly now. He could’ve…been the one. But, things don’t always work out,” she sighed wistfully.

“At least it’s a pretty reminder,” JJ shrugged, trying to lighten the mood.

“Yeah,” Emily smiled softly, hand resting over the tattoo. “Yeah, it really is.”

“I think it’s safe to say, Prentiss may not have been objective. Still may not be completely objective when it comes to Doyle. Which could be very, very bad for us,” Hotch spoke grimly. It wasn’t hard to deduce that Emily had developed some kind of feelings for Doyle. The matter was just whether or not they were strong enough for the ex spy to abandon her team and more importantly, her country.
