reckless (just enough) - ch 2/3.
Rating: M
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply (but we're talking about pregnancy, abortion and Emily-typical Catholic guilt, and there's a decent amount of non-graphic vomiting going on; this chapter has sexual content, as clearly consensual as sex undercover can be.)
Relationships: Eventual Hotchniss in chapter three, but this chapter has Doyle/Lauren and mostly-lone-wolf Emily.
Summary: Emily Prentiss and three pregnancies: at fifteen, thirty-three, and forty. (Demonology, Lauren arc and Hotchniss vibes.)
Chapter Excerpt: Emily turns away, white knuckling the glass of water in one hand and gripping the counter with the other, her throat burning, chest tightening, because she doesn’t have a village, and she’s spent her life telling herself she doesn’t want one. She’s never stayed in one place or been one person long enough. She still hasn’t even told her mother she’s pregnant, because every time she considers it, fifteen-year-old Emily surfaces in a wild panic and drags her into a spiral that passes through layers of guilt and fear and shame and lands her back in bed with the covers pulled up to her chin, Lauren’s baby rolling and kicking in her belly, reminding her that the time remaining to pull herself together is slipping rapidly through her fingers.
“Emily,” Louise says, a gentle hand between her shoulder blades. “I’m telling you I’m here. You’ve nothing to hide from me – I’ve seen it all and heard the rest. Now, the father – is it –?”
“Don’t,” Emily interrupts softly, because it’s not safe for anyone to know the truth, and the target she’s already put on Louise’s back is too much. “I can’t.”

Can we for a single moment acknowledge that even if we didn't care about him, the "Timing, huh?" was likely in reference to Mendoza, with whom Emily was purchasing property and planning on splitting time between Denver and DC, and then a pandemic and a promotion came at the same time and we never heard from him again?
Like. I understand their on screen chemistry was whatever, and S14-15 were just a hot mess. But he was canonically Emily's partner and the "happy ending" the original show gave her was committing to their relationship, only for evo to pull it out from under her and never let her know peace or happiness again.

I don't understand why I haven't seen anyone mention this (correct me if I'm wrong). Am I overreacting? I've seen many posts where fans claim Paget is in denial about her sexuality, and it feels very inappropriate. These posts, both here and on twitter, often get hundreds of likes without anyone calling out how weird it is. This is especially troubling on twitter, where Paget is very active.
Actors are human, and no one should be targeted or pressured about their sexuality, especially calling her a lesbian in denial when she has said multiple times how happy she is in her marriage.
Am I losing my mind, or do people nowadays have no boundaries?
Yeah this.
The thing is, if we want to be free to be exactly who we are and to define our own sexuality for ourselves, that needs to apply to people who want to call themselves "straight" or "15% curious" too.
Nobody should be telling you that you're wrong about who you are, and you shouldn't be telling anyone else that either.
Not to make another post about the terrible wigs of S14-15 again. But the thing that bugs me most about the terrible wigs (the S15 one was actually fine tbf) is that the hair and makeup people on this TV show could 100% have made a hair-up-in-a-ponytail version of each wig and put it on her well enough for it to look convincing.
The fact that they didn't bother to do that was constantly distracting every time her hair should've been up and made even the good wig its own character.

Look at where we are, look at where we started 1.02 / 4.06
I think I’m starting to realise why the person who inspired this project wrote 600 word chapters and never actually finished posting until like mid April.
