the future in an oil slick
After a couple seconds of silence, she heard footsteps and indistinct mumbling approaching the door, then stepped back as she heard the soft metal-on-metal sound of a chain lock being undone. Huh. She’d told him he should get one after conceding that he probably didn’t have many more secure housing options within his budget, but he’d been hesitant on that, too. Probably just didn’t want to face the inevitable argument with his landlord. What had changed to— The door opened with a hard jerk, and Elle felt her stomach drop out as Spencer appeared in the entryway. The answer to her question was everything, apparently.
OR: on the anniversary of elle's shooting, she returns to D.C. spencer texts her. two ships passing in the night collide.

#ship them or dont ship them this is genuinely such a sweet scene#like there's some comedy inherent in spencelle#in that u put ssa dr dr dr spencer reid next 2 elle and he instantly becomes “elle greenaway's boyfriend”#but theres also something genuinely really nice about how she views him as Just Some Guy. how human she sees him#how insistently she tells him that theres nothing wrong with him#elle greenaway#spencer reid#spencelle#criminal minds#criminal minds s01e04#criminal minds 1x4#plain sight#not fic

Ellle: You really don't know someone until you take a road trip with them.
Derek: What are you trying to say?

Wait. Wait. Spoilers below about Elle’s exit and the Hotch/Foyet arc because I AM SO CONFUSED.
#YEAH sorry#as much as i am an elle apologist and this might be a slightly unpopular opinion amongst other elle fans#and i shed exactly 0 tears over her killing that guy#whether i think it was justified or not is irrelevant. she murdered him. hotch was pretty cut and dry self defense#and if you really want to draw a parallel between hotch and elle re: vigilantism. 1x17 is right there#it's still not the same and elle's is still more out and out murder#but there's far more similarity between 1x17 and 2x5 than there is between 5x9 and 2x5. not that that's a very high bar#again i love elle. im an elle apologist. idc that she shot that rapist. but it's just not the same as 5x9#elle greenaway#aaron hotchner#criminal minds#criminal minds s02e05#criminal minds s05e09#criminal minds 2x5#criminal minds 5x9#aftermath#100#not fic#criminal minds rewatch#negative#a little. just to be on the safe side
don't think about hotch laying in the hospital bed in 5x1 suddenly knowing exactly how elle felt and the guilt tearing him apart all over again don't think about it don't think about don't th

hot gf and her incredibly pathetic bf

so. i love this line.
but i want to talk about her expressions after gideon asks if she's alright:
i dont know. throughout the first season, elle expresses the strongest negative feelings towards sex offenders (reasonable!) and sure, she came from a unit dealing specifically with that and that's her specialty (remember when all the characters had specific skill sets and specialties?) but especially this reaction here seems very personal. and this is pre-randall garner, so she doesn't yet have that connection to being attacked in her own home.
also. the team knows sexual offense crimes are elle's specialty. they know that's where she came from. but her response to gideon when he asks if she's okay after she goes off on scott isn't "i've seen a lot of this and it gets me riled up" it's to get defensive and evasive. if it was anger born of something the team is aware of, why hide it? her response to gideon and her expression afterwards very much read to me as someone hiding something.
#self rb#my prev tags →#obviously you dont have to be a victim to hate sex offenders#“i hate sex offenders” is a very normal stance#but elle's hatred seems personal to me#and again in a way that seems born of more than just her career#and then theres the question of why she chose to go into and specialize in sex crimes in the first place#to me that implies that that hatred was already there#ie. she doesnt hate sex offenders so passionately because she specializes in sex crimes#she chose to specialize in sex crimes because she hates sex offenders#i would be very curious to know what the planned backstory was for elle had lola glaudini stayed on#we get a bit with her dad#but throughout the first season i very much got the vibe that there was likely something SA-related in her backstory#either her or a loved one#not fic#elle greenaway#criminal minds#character analysis#criminal minds s01e15#criminal minds 1x15#unfinished business#tw sex assault
