Dharma's Divination 2: The Girls of Summerland (Gideon's childhood in the 60s)

Nov 28, 2011 15:44

Working on a Dharma & Greg Hotch/Dharma xover AU for the kink meme, trying to do a casefile fic, IS STUCK. I thought y'all might appreciate the Gideon bit though, maybe?:

victimology, or, The Girls of Summerland

( When Jason Gideon was a very young boy, he spent his summer running around in the woods with the neighbourhood girls. )

In "The Fisher King," it's revealed that Nellie Fox of the Chicago White Sox was Gideon's favorite player and that he went to games with his dad growing up. It's reasonable to say that Gideon is a "South Sider."

Traditionally, if one lives on Chicago's North Side, s/he is a Cubs fan and on the South Side, a Sox fan.

Until the writers gave Rossi a home in Commack Long Island, I wrote him as a North Sider (he had a Cubs mug in his office at one time), which only added to the rivalry between Rossi and Gideon.

Morgan's from Chicago as well.

Somehow, Chicago really fits Gideon, and Rossi, I wonder if either one of them are buddies with Mayor Rahmbo.

Hopefully they would have woods there. Oh I'm so fish out of the water right now. I made the perfect xover unsub who is a delusional power reassurance rapist fixated on 60s flowerchild type of young women, the ones he remembers from his college days. The problem was, Where To Put The Body, so that the burial ritual is left intact. I thought of the desert, but the only American deserts I know is Las Vegas and Arizona. Las Vegas feels 'too corrupted' for the unsub, so it's Arizona, but it has to be cliffs because don't deserts move around?

Am also wondering about frequency of kills, like, thought of him actually not having done it for decades, until he runs into Dharma and becomes fixated on her, but if I want BAU on this case, there should be like a fresh body newly discovered.

Not living in the US really means imma going to screw up badly soon.

which only added to the rivalry between Rossi and Gideon.

Professor ( ... )

Rossi would be:)

Chicago proper doesn't have woods. However, Gideon would have likely camped in Wisconsin or maybe Michigan, especially in the mid-50's to mid-60's. Milwaukee is only about an hour drive north of Chicago and Kettle Moraine State Forest is near Milwaukee. It could be something as simply as his family have a cabin near one of the parks or even near the lake shore that they 'summer' in, and the neighbors could be the 'summer' neighbors.

Arizona, New Mexico, Death Valley (CA), Nevada and parts of Texas are arid enough if you want to keep a relatively "dry" crime scene with potential mummification.

However, if it's not necessarily important to keep the body wholly preserved but have the clothing and accessories somewhat preserved, caves work just as well (Kentucky has a series of caves, as does Virginia, Tennessee, West Virginia ... heck, they can be found all over).

Er. Wow. I think I know way too much about where to hide bodies ...

Shady(or shady-aware) Rossi is kinda hot, and it's just WRONG. My first impression of Gideon was Blackwolf saying that he looks like a college professor, which he does, and that's hot. My first impression of Rossi was 'coolest stepdaddy ever' or Uncle Rossi (especially when he was comforting Jordan or Seaver over their self-doubts), which, once you throw sex in, quickly becomes CREEPY Uncle Rossi. This is why I'm going to start referring to Rossi as Professor Rossi, he did lecture at the academy too eh ( ... )

Professor Rossi, indeed ( ... )

Rossi/Gideon would work chemistry though. gsyh December 2 2011, 21:29:58 UTC

Gideon looks like a professor, Rossi, less so, but Rossi behaves in a way that was much more professor than Super Team That Fights Crime - he had a career as an author. Though Gideon is still, Gideon is that Professor that every student secretly want to impress and some have huge crushes on. Rossi is that Professor who is everybody's pal.

Angry Sex would be hot, and it would MAKE SENSE. If they were having an affair, it would be both angry and serve as a reason for /Rossi/ to be angrier. Rossi is the type who will get into your face during a relationship argument, well, unless you are obviously The Girl or something, I dunno, more like he's the one who would get into someone's face during an argument...if that someone is Gideon. Gideon would probably be the type who would chose to take time out, "You know what, I don't want to talk about this now", to cool down with his birds and trains, whether than engage in something when his feelings are boiling instead of Vuclan. This of course, would piss Rossi off. It'll be like Spock ( ... )
