“I-” opens his mouth, closes it again, opens it to down the rest of his beer. “It’s just hard to remember that this isn’t... you know, for a long time, a long, long time I thought that this was it. You and me, that we’d... die at our desks.”

So I haven't felt any Elliot/Olivia feelings in forever and ever, but this cracked even my hardened up heart. OY, they are so angsty, and I have no idea what's going on with the actual show, but I know that in canon he split without even saying goodbye. This is such a perfect possible version of what might have happened, and it pretty much guts me just like they used to.

I love all of it, but especially this:

She nearly cracks a smile at that. “That you’d be the last thing I saw as my heart gave out and I face planted into a stack of ten eighty-eights.”

And that does spur a laugh, a shocked, guttural thing that Olivia has no chance of reining in once she emits it. “God, god that sounds almost... nice.”

Elliot smiles too, looks right at her. “Right?”

I can just see it. I love reading fic from writers who clearly know their characters. This is awesome.

RIGHT!? I haven't had the feels either and then I see one .giftset on tumblr and I'm all OH LAWD, THE VAPORS, THEY ARE UPON ME and this happens. This. WHAT EVEN IS THIS!?

I'm glad I've gutted you so effectively. That's weird to say, but it's true.

OH HELLO.

Knew I could count on you, creeper, to come out of the woodwork and comment on this.

How dare you make me feel these things again?!

[scullyseviltwin]

Because my love, I enjoy seeing you suffer.

I love that it's the four of you that have commented on this. Four solid ladies, that's for sure.

Four sure?

For sure.
