❝  don’t you have work to do ? ❞   he asks calmly, stare flicking to holden’s mouth.  

they believe they’re subtle ; ignorant to their obviousness.  the arousal holden coaxes from bill is palpable.   now : retaliation.     squeezing, he scrapes blunt nails down holden’s wrist and releases.   ❝  go back to your desk, ❞  bill whispers.

*    ———     𝙞.     @egopath​ ​   said   :     i really enjoy the way you write spencer. i know its an old cliche but i really can hear his voice in your dialogue. i also really like the extra steps you take to writing him like researching the statistics he uses. its those little things that make him really engaging and fun to write with. thank you for letting holden be a bit of an asshole to him.

This  means  so  much  to  me  ,  especially  coming  from  a  writer  I  admire  ,  so  thank  you  !  I  knew  coming  into  this  fandom  that  Spencer  was  not  going  to  be  the  easiest  character  to  write  what  with  all  his  little  nuances  ,  so  knowing  that  I’m  doin’  him  some  form  of  justice  makes  me  happy  .  Thank  you  !  <3333

[naturetorn]

the last of us prompts  \  @egopath​  -  accepting,  mutuals only     ↳   “it’s the normal people that scare me.”

it’s surprising.  and then it isn’t.  because this is someone who deals with the worst of humanity on a daily basis,  and not just normal interactions either ;  agent ford throws himself into people’s minds,  dives deep into the rotten corners and then deeper still.  that’ll do something to anyone,  but she imagines it’s worse still for someone who obviously cares so much.  or maybe it’s the opposite,  bad people do as you expect them to  ----  but normal people ?  it’s hard to predict their next move,  what’ll push them over the edge.  how big a splash they’ll make when the dam bursts.

    she doesn’t mean for her gaze to be so heavy on him as she thinks her next words carefully,  but ivy hasn’t been hiding any of her reactions from him and it wouldn’t do well to start now.  “ ---- I suppose, ”  she wonders how he labels himself,  if he is not part of the normal crowd,  “ sometimes they scare me too. ”

@egopath​​ said : “ i don’t know how to cut myself some slack. ”

SHOCKER . the word pops into her head and she’s thankful she has the frame of mind not to voice it . she doesn’t think that any of them know that & she’s at the very tippity top of the list , she’ll admit (   to herself , in private   ) . she’s watched gideon & holden & rossi for as long as she’s been at the bau as closely as she can without being kinda creepy , read every single book that they’ve published (   ok , maybe she DNF a few that got too icky when she was trying out a certain communications liason / technical analyst dual job   ) , & she’s seen , even if it’s just a glimpse , the aftermath of the different cases they've worked & continue to work . the bad ones - the ones that no one feels like they’ve won , even when everyone is telling them that they did . sometimes she wonders how exactly they’re still standing , after all of the horror they’ve seen . (   how are any of them ?   )  & the good ones - the ones that make them all feel like what they’re doing matters to the world , ultimately . she’s not a profiler , not by a long shot , but she knows , somewhere deep inside where she holds every single failure that they do too .   ❝   well , you know , retired but still very special agent ford , there’s always time to learn . for all of us .   ❞   she says finally , a hopeful smile gracing her lips as she does .
