<- possessed with thoughts of Ellen/Sam/Salex.

I am forced to watch your mistakes in every universe. I will never be able to save anyone from your wrath, not even yourself. I am the bystander.

I am the captain of a sinking ship, but I will never leave the wheel. Is the destruction my only constant? This will not be my legacy, since it will never end. I am the catalyst.

I die in every timeline. I only exist as what I am, and this corpse is all that I am allowed to be. I bleed for you. Will you bleed for me? I am the martyr.

…And in no timeline do any of them save each other. They cannot change a single thing. They may try. They may run away. They may disappear. But apathy only lasts so long in a world of such overwhelming passion.

Sam and Salex will always be forced into roles that never should have been theirs, and Ellen will always see it to the end. What a pack of losers.

I Wanna Be Bad - Alex Blake/Elle Greenaway

A/N: Fic 1 of many for @cmkinkbingo

Elle Greenaway had never really expected to end up as the sugarbaby of someone working at the BAU, but since she had quit and walked away she had been working solo, taking on mercenary work, so when she came face to face with Alex Blake the first time, it had been surprisingly tempting to drop her guard. Now, as she settles into Alex’s lap, pressing her lips to the side of Alex’s neck, she has to admit misbehaving for Alex feels far better than taking on jobs that could get her killed. Here she’s safe, even if she’s not exactly fully dressed most days. Alex’s fingers curl through her hair, hair she’s let grow out again and she almost moans into Alex’s neck, pressing herself down further over Alex’s thigh. It’s soft, it’s sweet but it’s passionate.

Tracy Pollan telling Michael J Fox he was "mean and rude and a total fucking asshole" and him immediately falling in love with her 😭 that's not only the funniest thing ever but also that's exactly what happened to them on Family Ties

[knickynoo]

As someone who both deals with sensory overload as a result of being on the spectrum and an avid Ellex shipper, any headcanons on Ellen helping Alex when he's feeling overwhelmed?

Oh, Ellen would handle it so well. There are so many moments between her and Alex that show how attentive and understanding she is of the way Alex thinks and feels, and she's great at slowing him down and guiding him through his emotions.

And Alex has a lot of very obvious "tells" when he's getting overwhelmed—he starts stammering and gets all out of breath, there's the rocking and the hand-wringing and just general jumpiness. Actually, this ask made me recall something from the Family Ties "Alex Gets the Business" book because there's a scene where Alex gets overwhelmed and nearly has a panic attack in the middle of the mall while he's there with Ellen (he's VERY stressed during the majority of the story lol). There's an inner monolgue where he's telling himself to calm down, a mention that it's hard for him to look Ellen in the eyes, and he has to step aside and do some deep breathing to calm down. Ellen knows something is wrong and tries to get him to talk to her, but he changes the topic to distract her.

Anyway, it's a lot like how I imagine the situation would actually go down. I think whatever they're currently doing would stop, and Ellen would get him somewhere quieter and then feel the rest of it out. Maybe she could get him to talk, but knowing Alex, he'd just need time and space to steady himself, and Ellen would know that. Later on, if she felt it was needed, she'd talk to him about whatever happened and help him break it down (because we know Alex is always utterly bewildered by his own emotions and reactions to things.)

Ugh, this is another reason why they needed to be endgame—and in my headcanons, they were. I can see in the long-term, Ellen really being able to help Alex learn more about himself and become better equipped to handle things that would otherwise overwhelm or upset him. Be more accepting of his emotions. There was a good deal of growth in the season he was with her, and it's a shame it couldn't continue.

Thanks for the ask!

I'm working on a short Family Ties Ellex fic and I was wondering if anyone was interested in reading it so I could tag them when the first chapter was posted.

Some background info: Post canon, fluff, reunion (sorta...?), and kind of a bit domestic.

Here's a snippet:

It wasn't possible.

He wasn't this lucky, even in the stock market.

The dancer's name glared at him from the page, forcing him to believe it was the truth. There was no way it could be a misprint when now that he looked closer her face and name matched up.

He had once again been pulled to Ellen Reed.
