“Excuse me, Captain - do you have a minute?”

“Sure, Eames, come on in.”

Ross waves her into the office that she still has trouble thinking of as his, not Deakins’. She takes a deep breath and sits down in the chair opposite his desk, wishing ( Read more... )

PROLOGUE

I want to go

I know I can’t stay

But I don’t wanna run

Feeling this way

Till I am myself

Till I am myself

Till I am myself again

--Blue Rodeo, “Till I Am Myself”

“You all right?” Alex asks, glancing sideways at her partner as they drive away from the ruins of Ray Wiszneski’s life and family. Bobby just looks at ( Read more... )

Well, that went way better than I was afraid it would, Alex thinks as she pulls out of Jen’s driveway. Beside her, Bobby is quiet, staring out the passenger window again. She wonders what he’s thinking.

“Hey, Bobby?”  He turns his ( Read more... )

Well, I published two chapters of this story and promptly got well and truly stuck. It seems that the way to get unstuck was to switch to Goren’s POV…but that took some doing, because I find it a lot harder to get inside his head than Eames’. I would love to know if he seems in character. And, I hope all the introspection in this chapter isn’t too ( Read more... )

...And here is Chapter Two. There will be two more, I think. The last scene in this chapter was actually the genesis for the whole fic - I've always wanted to know what went on when Bobby met Alex's nephew for the first time, and I've never seen a fic that covered it satisfactorily (if you know of one, please send me a link - I'm always keen to see ( Read more... )

Yup, still alive over here - emerging blinking and wobbly from several months' worth of major RL work craziness, followed by a week or two of hibernation. What's that? Oh right - it's the creative part of my brain...hello, long lost friend!

Really not sure about the title of this one - I'm terrible at titles (suggestions welcome!). Also, I'm ( Read more... )

 
Author’s Note: This takes place towards the end of “Magnificat” (season 4), before the courtoom scene that concludes the episode. You don't really need to have seen the episode for the story to make sense, although it would probably help.

Alex knew it would be hard, coming to the funeral. She braced herself for it as her taxi pulled to a stop by the church and she saw the barriers, the traffic cops waving cars up to the steps and away, the TV cameras corralled off to the side, the PA system set up for the crowds of mourners. As she maneuvered herself out onto the sidewalk, a ( Read more... )

As previously mentioned, I recently fell down the Law & Order rabbit hole; my specific obsession is the "Criminal Intent" incarnation. I love that it features a main character whose great strength (well, one of them) is his encyclopaedic knowledge and ability to wield a library card...I'm fascinated by the way Goren and Eames interact with each ( Read more... )
