hard being in a dead fandom that seemed to largely exist on live journal in 2010 with most content disorganized and lost to the void because the author’s page got suspended! I want content! I want in depth tumblr posts! I don’t have enough time to shout into the void about these characters without abandoning the project I’ve been working on for a year!

(someone else read shadow of the templar, im begging and pleading on my knees)

Finished Shadow of the Templar by M Chandler 2 weeks ago and I have been thinking about ✨them✨ ever since. They're in love your honor!!!!

EDIT: bad news: I have written fic about this. worse news: I’m not done.

We interrupt our usual programming to bring you new fic for a fandom that has been dead for 7 years.

Haven't seen season 5 yet (so no spoilers please) cause I'm still recovering from the S4 finale.

Does no one care about Simon. I love him. We could've had it all. I was rooting so hard for the Keating 6, him joining the team, and maybe a little throuple with coliver? As promised.

What the fuck was up with Michaela this season? I liked that a crossover episode had consequences but like this breakup with Asher was not fun. I've had fun with like Frank & Laurel and Conner & Oliver breaking up, this was just horrible.

I do kinda like "I'm becoming me" or whatever the line was but that's not good enough. I can excuse murder but I draw the line at getting someone deported. I love Michaela, I wanted her and Simon to become friends.

There was a time when I hated Simon too, cause I love Annalise, so fuck him for the posters, but, priorities, people. Everyone and their mother has accused Annalise of murder. And now it's fine, she's winning Supreme Court cases. Remember when everyone hated each other in S1? I wanted more enemies to friends shenanigans 😭

I just dropped the long awaited Chapter 30 of Angel of Vengeance, AKA The Background Character Chapter

So to celebrate here's a bunch of picrews I made of some beloved background characters using this picrew

Here we have Dalton Turner, Bennet Ortiz, and Sadie Drake (polyam goals)

Below is Seth and Sadie's older brother, Simon

Below is Morgan's half sister Holly Lynch and Holly's boyfriend Nicolas Campbell

And below is the best boy, of course, Booker Harrison

And okay below are this picrew's version of Morgan and Seth but this post and this chapter aren't about them!

SHADOW OF THE TEMPLAR

(read the original books here)

The way I’ve been reading and re reading these books these last few weeks… And how I wish there were more fanfics about it.

My headcanon is that after 6 years, Simon starts doing couple things without realizing, touching Jeremy for no reason, just a passing hand on a hip, a squeeze of the shoulder. He’ll kiss Jeremy hello and it’s so ingrained, he will do it in front of the team and not even realize what an earth shattering moment that is. Jeremy will raise an eyebrow but take in stride and not mention it, even if he does notice everyones reaction (probably at poker night).

Even after 6 or 7 years, Simon would probably be the last person to acknowledge he's in a serious monogamous relationship with Jeremy and he has no plans of changing or ending that state of being.

His team (and Annabelle of course) would notice how he calls Archer more frequently, to talk about whatever, be it his current boring job of babysitting a senator getting death threats, to complain of his new neighbor, how he went to this party and the food sucked (not to mention he rejected all offers, male or female, without a second thought) or even to try to coax Jeremy into dropping by again cause it's been 2 months since he last did and it ended too fast cause Simon was called back to work. The words "I miss you" are never spoken, but to whoever is listening (Jeremy and, because he's been calling during work, a blushing Nate and a chill Johnny in the team room) it's clearly there.

Thoughts of changing apartments are also coming to mind more frequently. A new (bigger and better) apartment and a second key. It's not that he wants to give it to Jeremy, he just wants to avoid a neighbor calling the police about the thief.

There's also that nagging feeling of domesticity he has been craving with Jeremy. He sometimes entertains the idea of Jeremy leaving the crime business and... He always stops there. Late at night, he does think of Jeremy and of Jeremy and him and where they are going. He doesn't think about the future together as much as where they're going.

It surprises him when he goes out at night with some of the guys he did the FBI training with and when asked if he's single, he denies it, saying he's involved. It surprises him because it's a mere statement of fact. It's not a lie or a deceit to get them off his back. So he tries it again and says out loud he's been in a relationship for some time, years. He evades any further questions but it's there.

He ends up admiting it to himself later as well. And when that barrier is broken, he will admit to wanting more. Ultimately he will get the new apartment, he will give that second key to Archer warning against attempts of breaking and entering (not asking him to move in just yet). Archer will start showing up more often, leaving stuff around the house (a toothbrush, his froufrou shampoos and shower gels, a shirt or two).

They'll join poker night together and banter all the time. But everyone will see and know that they're more than just Archer and Simon now...
