Imagining Neric doing couple things is fun. Them playing video games in angry silence when they argue, baking birthday cakes for each other, looking at houses to move in together and playing pranks on each other but still messing up because it's Neric and they embarrass themselves a lot. You said you had a wishlist of things you want to see them do, what are some of those things?
I actually have this headcanon that the only one on the team who cooks really, really well is Sam. Deeks has more game than the rest, but like… the others are TERRIBLE. So the image of them trying to bake each other cakes ends in fire in my head. So, yes, yes i definitely want to see that.
but anyway, my wishlist is not like, big goals, i know better than to set myself up for a fall (also, as it turns out, not getting your hopes up and expecting nothing at all makes it sweeter when ur expecting a fake relationship episode where your ship awkwardly make out to prove a point, and instead get them making out of their own accord on a patch of grass so like A+ 10/10 would recommend), i just want random stuff???;
The aforementioned drunk neric, or one of them drunk and the other not, i’m not picky, they were hilarious high on sugar, give me the drunken nerds.
casual cold episode opening where you see a phone on a table and it rings, and a sleepy hand reaches out to grab it at a horrible and early hour of the morning and the camera pans outward and it’s nell’s hand grabbing the phone and it pans further out and you see Eric still passed out next to her in bed (i’m not only thinking of scenes i want in my head, i’m now saying how i want them directed, too, so like, i think i have a problem).
i’m just gonna shove a serious™ one in here b/c i genuinely think they dropped the ball last season with this, but Eric talking to Nell about his reaction to killing the guy at the retreat, because when i saw it i found it 100% plausible that he wouldn’t have spoken to her specifically, b/c i think he’d be worried she might take his anxieties over it to mean he didn’t want what happened after that to have happened either, which is not true, but i do think Eric would worry about it and i’d like to hear her both A) validate negative emotions about the killing and B) say she understands it was an emotional rollercoaster and she understands he can feel negatively about the shooting and positively about the kissing at the same time.
ERIC BEALE KNOWING WHERE AND WHAT HER TATTOO IS
You know what scene where Callen and Anna got handsy in front of a fire??? I want that. I literally don’t care if they get interrupted, the gif footage i could get from 10 seconds of a topless make out would increase my lifespan by like 10 years.
Them sitting closer now. And you may say ‘But Danni, don’t they already sit close to each other and have little regard for personal space???’ and you would be correct and in fact, the point. They should still sit closer b/c that’d mean they’d be on top of each other :D.
Nell stealing Eric’s state of the art gaming set up to play the sims and the resulting fall out (this isn’t as much as a wish as it is a crack fic prompt but w/e. Preferred outcome from this is Nell convincing him to let her carry on b/c she creates a pair of sims in love named Eric and Nell. He knows he’s being manipulated but he just can’t help himself and stops complaining).
Them letting Barrett keep the inevitable hiatus beard and having her find it really hot.
A KISS (more than one but, you know, low standards). A nice one, like, a meaningful one that’s slow and romantic but you could easily imagine it leading to tender sex when the scene ends).
Nell’s family come to town. They end up having to pretend they’ve been together years because of the whole ‘eric came to christmas’ thing. Her parents also want to meet the friends she’s spoken to them about, so she has to tell G, Sam, Deeks and Kensi that they all have to pretend to be news editors or similar, but also have to pretend her and eric have been in a relationship for years. Chaos ensues. (Nell also would probably end up almost murdering Deeks in this scenario tbh lbr he’d say /something/ and she’d be out for blood).
G teasing them. Nell teasing him back. Eric trying to tease back and failing.
The return of the tactical kilt™ and Nell being better versed in Eric’s underwear (or lack thereof) choices.
slow dancing. Or square dancing. Preferably the slow but i take what i can get.
more vague sexual allusions that make me go efgdfgjsrfjsdfsdfk
the return of la perla
since it’s canon we know densi do robot roleplay in bed i think it’s only fair if we find out something of Neric’s too. It’d be super nerdy. Like, they dress up as han and leia and have sex kind of nerdy.
i could go on for a while
