(Masterpost) Fic Rec: PoI- Sameen Shaw centric fics
Updated: 11/3/2015
So its all here in one place: 
Gen - Friendship/Family
Code Indigo by Pendrecarc
AU. What if Finch met Shaw first? 
I’m Going to Do the Things You Do by toadpuff
Shaw needs a place to stay, and Lewis needs a roommate (and a little protection). A match made in the lowest circle of hell. Set after the events of “Relevance.”
Genrika the Spy by Orockthro
Shaw looks at her, but hides it by checking the car mirrors. It’s a good trick. Gen thinks she’ll be able to use that when she starts to drive. “You want to be a spy, right?“ Shaw asks. “Consider this your first undercover mission. Learn about your situation. Recon work.”
(Or, it’s her boarding school’s winter break, and Finch’s ward comes back to the nest to make some observations. And maybe have a good Christmas, too. Gift Exchange fic for tsolvang.)
At This Volume by lookninjas
Later on, her mother calls her aunt, and tells her that the doctor said everything was normal, that it was normal for Sameen to be confused about her feelings, that it was normal for her to be angry, that everything she was doing was normal. It had never occurred to Sameen that she might not be normal, before.
Even the Gentlest Tide by lookninjas
John knew that things were bound to change while he was gone. He just thought it would be easier to adjust.
This takes place immediately after Person of Interest 3.13, “4C” and goes up to 3.15, “Last Call.” It was originally posted as "Sin Nombre (untitled)” (For the record, the title in question comes from “On and On and On” by Wilco).
Shaw’s got the territorial instincts of a housecat, and John might not’ve been gone that long, but it’s obviously been long enough for Finch to start smelling like hers. It’s a relief, in its way. No matter what might happen to him, Shaw will look out for Finch.
Companion pierce here
Untitled by lookninjas
John starts a bar fight, Shaw finishes it. Or a Mayhem Twins/Murder Siblings ficlet. 
“You sure you don’t want backup?” she asks, as Reese flies backward across the room, slamming into the jukebox and finally shutting it down (a relief; she was about done with the greatest hits of the Eagles anyway). He shakes his head — he has to be seeing double by now — and picks himself up.  “I’ve got this,” he mutters, half to himself, and launches himself at Gigantor again.
Untitled Harold, John, Shaw friendship fic by lookninjas
 He turns to Shaw.  “Lionel never told you about the time Harold offered to hack the Pentagon for him?”
Shaw’s eyes widen.  “Harold,” she says.  She sounds impressed.
“I was drugged,” Harold protests, faintly.
“You were on ecstasy,” John points out.  “Which doesn’t usually make people volunteer to hack the Pentagon.”
Mythic by @adreadfulidea
Urban legends tend to grow with the telling.
Based on the idea that Shaw could be the boogeyman of the Bratva. 
They said that she had jumped through a third-story window and landed on her feet. That she could read minds, that she had friends who talked to God. She appeared out of clouds of smoke and shot a man through a brick wall. Someone killed her, once, and she came right back.
The woman in black.
Night Shift by Aussie_Muggle ( @somethingsuitablywittyandmorbid )
After her demotion, Carter struggles with the night shift schedule. Her friends help.
(It’s about Carter but Shaw is here… shhhh)
Tequila by Aussie_Muggle ( @somethingsuitablywittyandmorbid )
Zoe brings intel and wisdom, Shaw brings alcohol and listening devices, and Carter needs convincing before she gets on board the Shoot ship.
Resilience by Aussie_Muggle (Multichapters) ( @somethingsuitablywittyandmorbid )
A rough few days turns into a rough few years. Carter, Finch and Shaw become Warren, Whistler and Grey.
But they’ve always been resilient.
(A Carter Lives! John dies story, and it is awesome.) 
Post 4x11 If-Then Else
And Like the Cat by @lookninjas
Post If Then Else, pre-M.I.A. 
Harold wants to believe so badly.
In the end, he chalks it up to a glitch.  He reasons that the Machine was simply running too many simulations at once, devoting too much data to trying to save them.  That it simply didn’t process Shaw’s number in time to save her, only giving it out after the worst possible outcome had already occurred.  It isn’t what he wants to believe, but when their best efforts fail to uncover any proof that Shaw is still alive, he has to conclude that it’s the truth.  Shaw is gone, and they cannot bring her back. Two weeks later, the Machine gives him her number again. 
Root/Shaw
Signal to Noise by Tamoline
Finch has the bright idea of running a work release program for Root. With proper supervision, of course.
And Shaw’s luck is about to run out.
Field Support by Orockthro
“My research indicates operatives work best in teams,” Finch says to her out of the blue when he next hands her a social security number on a post-it note from the machine. She realizes he means ‘pick a buddy’ and she says back, “hell no.”
(Or, Finch offers Shaw the choice of Leon or Root as her new tech support. The machine makes sure its a good fit.)
Advent Cookies by @hedda62
Shaw’s brand of grief, Root’s style of concern, Harold’s strain of guilt, and Bear-bait: it all comes down to cookies in the end. Set after 3x10, “The Devil’s Share.”  
First Date by lookninjas
Root and Shaw in a bar for their first date.
Take Cover by mlamachine
Aletheia - Alternate Ending, post episode codas. Tumblr version here
That Daring Game by mlamachine
Root and Shaw, undercover at a couple’s retreat.
Sameen'iel and Root of All Evil (Good Omen AU) by terapsina
Root is gonna need some help with averting the Apocalypse their bosses want. And she goes about it the way she goes about everything.
Heaven is where you build it (Hell isn’t that bothered) - Good Omen AU by thesmokinggnu
Of Sameen, former Guardian of the Eastern Gate (cutbacks) and Root, who Fell but turned it into a dive.
Symbolic Constant by lithiumdoll
Here’s the thing about constants: their value never changes.
Note: Found families, apocafic, TEAM, and Root/Shaw. If there is one, just ONE story I would ever recommend it would be this. It’s glorious and heartbreaking and happy making all at once. Go read this! 
Series of Collisions by inspectorboxer and @zennie-fic
The Message by Geonn
Hospitals require all gunshot wounds be reported. That’s not the only reason she’s here. (4x05 Prophets)
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Series by rustyliver ( @hatikarat )
Or the Root and Shaw Serial Killer AU. Start with: 
Nothing Brings Old Friends Together Like Murder 
One particular book caught her eye; it was a book on personality disorders. It was a thick book with long words that an eleven year old can barely understand, but Sameen had understood enough to know that both her and Sam were in it, just on different parts of the spectrum.
Stranger Things Have Happened in Food Truck Competitions by chromestorm 
“So?” “So?” He echoes incredulously. “Do you not remember you’re up for the contest this year?” Ugh, this again. It’s her fault, she knows. She probably shouldn’t have agreed to it in the first place when Cole had brought up signing up for a food truck competition about a year ago.
a food truck au
kismet and other movements by aelysian
She can’t see her without craning her neck, but she can picture the mischievous gleam in brown eyes, the sharp cuspids that add bite to the flirty smile.
“Are we playing, Sameen? You haven’t told me what the rules are.”
Soulmate AU.
Nice Day for the End of the World by @netgirl-y2k
Really good zombie apocafic AU.
“I’m checking you for zombie bites, Root, this isn’t a striptease.”
and you put earth beneath my feet by refuted
(spoilerish to 4x20) 
It first starts when Root tells her, “Don’t hold back” and ends with an uptick of the lips, growing, growing as she straddles Root with an arm against her throat and her palm on the floor holding the brunt of the weight.
(Or: Shaw teaches Root how to fight.)
Unannounced in the Middle of the Night by batss (Rating: M) 
Root and Shaw wake up in a hotel with no memory of getting there, unable to escape and unable to resist each other. 
Sex pollen. 
Does It Lessen Your Affection by @superjinkyo
A Root/Shaw/Machine relationship
Thanks to her new relationship with The Machine, there are few locks in the world that can keep Root out— or in for that matter. Maybe that’s the challenge that leads her back to Shaw’s apartment. There is also the matter of returning the dog.
Post 4x11 If Then Else
Belief by @brocantuer ( @ze0 )
future fic; spoilers for “If-then-Else”
“I’m frightened for you,” he tells you, six months into it. He has finished stitching the wound on your cheek. He has already said how very sorry he is he could not do a better job of it. You do not care. When you look in the mirror, it is the only thing that makes you smile.
we are weapons of choice by @tinygrumpshaw (dustywords) (multichapters)
What’s better than being held captive by Samaritan and listen to Greer’s stupid questions? In Sameen Shaw’s case it’s becoming the Machine’s secondary analog interface and travel around the globe, searching for a way to destroy an evil AI.
It’s time to kill a god and stop it from taking over the world.
(A Machine and Shaw buddy cop -road trip story? Hell. Yeah.) 
see you on the ocean floor by oneworldaway
Root was half-convinced the current would carry them both away.
Carter/Shaw
Whatever This Is by Tamoline
At some point Carter seems to have become Shaw’s unofficial partner in Finch’s merry little enterprise. When she confronts John about this, he just looks at her mildly and says, “You work well together.” Which she figures is John for “Which means I don’t have to,” with a side order of “Please keep her away from Finch as much as possible,” and a dash of “I trust you to rein in her more homicidal impulses.”
Yeah, like it’s going to be that simple.
Crossover
On Digging Holes by Imaginary Number
Burn Notice/Person of Interest - Case File, Gen. 
Fullerton is blackmailing Glenanne and Westen, and Glenanne asks the only associates she has that Fullerton cannot possibly know about for help. Finch and Reese do not have to be asked twice once they learn that Fullerton abducted Root. This is somewhat of a sequel to ’Snowstorm’.
Shameless  Self-Promotion
Conversations with Dead People
Shaw can see dead people.
Her mother passed away while she was on a mission in Iran, in the central desert of Zavareh. She left Cole behind the main city since he would have stood out like a sore thumb.
His cover was a tourist and he played it up.
Their task was to gather intel and it was an easy task if everything went as planned and a nightmare if everything went to hell.
A woman alone in the desert would also call attention but not as much in the cover of dark. Shaw tightened the Chador around her. Her boots made for desert travel, gave her traction against the shifting sand and then she heard it, a whisper in the desert night, “Azizam.”
Cool air brushed against Shaw’s skin as she turned around and then considered her mother standing on the sand dunes.

Do you read fanfictions? Can you give some recommendations?
Sanvers
The Wedding Date by Jayenator565, sincerely_vMaggie tells her family that she has a date to her sister’s wedding. That’s not exactly true. Lucky for her a random Tinder match has mandatory vacation days from her DEO job and is willing to fake it with her. A week in Nebraska might lead to more than both expected. Get ready for adorable hi-jinks, awkward family gatherings, and swoon worthy fluff.
Spin Doctor (Grown Ass Woman) by performativezippersMaggie doesn’t really talk to other people while she’s at the spin studio – she’s not, as they say, there to make friends – but everyone tends to do friendly nods and say hi, especially in the locker room, and she does the same. So she’s gotten know most of the teachers and many of the other morning clients by sight. So she’s sure this is the first time she’s seen this new woman. She’d definitely have remembered someone like that.
(you know) the ground is never too far from the sky by daysofinspirationAlex’s ship has a reputation for being a little odd, for their crew being a little queer and unusual. But Alex is a damn good Captain, and their ship is the fastest around. Or, steampunk skysailor au wherein nb Captain Alex and crew sail the skies avoiding pirates and oblivious to love.
Worth the Fight by zennieAfter the kiss, Alex and Maggie struggle to get back to friendship and maybe more. Also, Maggie is targeted by assassins and Alex is protective.
Revelations (Series) by performativezippers
no hiding place by alittlelesspainSo far in the past week, Maggie has been kidnapped, stunned, shot at, and now she has gone and put a considerable amount of professional and personal trust in the woman who had been doing the kidnapping, stunning, and shooting. She should be terrified. Instead, Maggie feels the most alive that she’s felt in years. Or, the one where Alex is supposedly a criminal, Supergirl is supposedly dead, Lex Luthor is actually President, and Detective Maggie Sawyer has to deal with it all. A canon-divergent Sanvers AU. Slowburn.
Miss Murder by seaunicornIt’s Murder season at UC National City, and Alex is determined to win. A Sanvers college AU.
the two-body problem by ultranosWhen Alex signed up for the DEO, she knew she’d be putting herself at risk for Kara’s sake. Getting turned into a lutrinae was nowhere in her contract.

But if I wear my heart on my skin they might see it breaking by DisplacedWarriorSoulmate AU where anything you write on your skin shows up on your soulmate’s.
communion by adieu_sweetamaryllisFour years — she’d made it four years without having Maggie Sawyer in a single class of hers despite them both going to the same school. If she hadn’t seen her once or twice across campus she would’ve thought the girl never actually ended up attending National City University, despite both of them getting acceptance letters a few weeks before — well, before everything went up in flames.
Home Is In Her Eyes by DrugedbyalexWar AU. Alex Danvers once lived a picture perfect life, with a loving mother, a caring military father, an adorable adoptive sister, a remarkable best friend, and a practically perfect girlfriend. However, just before senior graduation, Alex’s life tumbles down when her father never returned from his last deport. That’s when she decides to enlist in the military, and break all her ties to Midvale. It’s 10 years later, and Kara’s pregnant expecting a visit from her sister. What happens when Alex walks back home, and stumbles into the one person she’d never thought she’d see again?
The Lighthouse Technique by InspectorBoxerKara grinned. “I already have a plan. A foolproof technique, in fact, to get Maggie Sawyer’s full attention.”
Shifting Allegiances by LurkzEveryone knows that National City is run by the gangs. Everyone also knows the balance of power between them has been stable and quiet for a while now. Alex’s DEO and Maggie’s Sawyer Gang normally keep to themselves, relatively content with their territories within the contested city. As the balance of power suddenly begins to shift, Alex and Maggie realize that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” has just become more true than they originally thought. They weren’t really counting on falling for each other in the process.
against all odds by Izzi456Alex volunteers for her sister when she’s chosen as the District 12 Tribute for the 74th Hunger Games. In the arena, Alex must learn who to trust and how to survive while keeping Kara’s secret safe and her heart from betraying her at every turn. aka: the hunger games au no one asked for

Senior Year by mssawyerdanvers (Mqevq), sarcasticsapphicBoth Maggie and Alex found solace in books at a young age. When Maggie moves to Midvale with her aunt for her senior year of high school to escape her homophobic parents and town, she meets Alex who is so devoted to her alien sister’s safety she is constantly disregarding her own needs. The first thing they share is their passion for books, growing into a friendship they both longed for and then a love they didn’t know they could have.
Stone Cold by we_are_just_bad_codeAll her client had given her was a piece of paper with her target’s address and their name on it. “Detective Sawyer”, Alex recalled. Or the one where Alex is supergay and ends up falling for the woman she’s supposed to kill: Sanvers assassins AU.

Codename: ARTEMIS by LennaAfter Alex is badly wounded, scaring the hell out of all her family and friends, Winn decides that it’s time to do something about it.
handmade by NoxWrites“You can’t just keep living in a cage.” Alex hisses with anger, venom lacing her words. “I can! It’s easier. When I’m in the ring no one else matters, so why not have that safety net when I’m out of the ring!” Maggie’s fists hit the practice bag, her punches are frantic and Alex can see the effects of lack of sleep and food. Her legs shake and her hands falter. “Because you matter to someone else!” She slowly moves in between Maggie and the bag, gripping her wrists to prevent further punching. “To me. You matter to me.” or mma au

you and i collide (Series) by InspectorBoxer, zennie
I Just Want to Change My Future by LurkzMaggie was just hoping to finally have a stable enough job that allowed her to continue helping aliens and maybe finally meet someone who would decide she was worth sticking with. She wasn’t really expecting her new job to involve suspicious acting scientists that happened to be related to her new boss’s girlfriend. All Alex wanted to do was work in her lab, finish this pseudo-undercover duty at L-Corp, destroy Cadmus, and find her father. She didn’t have time for nosy ex-detective security chiefs.
Tower Rats by RoadieA river separates two nations that have been at war for as long as anyone can remember. A bridge across that river is a no-man’s-land, inhabited for generations by exiles and refugees of both nations, and by their descendants. The people who live on the bridge cannot set foot on the land on either side for fear of being taken for an enemy combatant and shot, so people are born, live, and die on the bridge without ever stepping on solid ground. The bridge is governed by four clans. Alex Danvers and her family have never pledged allegiance to any of them, but Maggie and James grew up in one. Maggie and Alex should really never have met. They should never have had the chance to become friends. But they fall in love anyway.
Give Me Shelter (Or Show Me Heart) by chancellorclarkeThe first time Maggie sees Alex, Maggie is 28 and Alex is 30. AU: Maggie is a time traveller.

But it gets harder and harder for them to believe her as her drinking slowly becomes out of control. Now it’s up to Alex’s family and friends to try and help her through this. And all Alex has to do is let them. Maggie is certainly going to fight tooth and nail, anyways.

On her first day, she runs into Alex Danvers - star of the East High Wildcats - and the girl she happened to kiss on New Years Eve.

Saolré (Series) by TaFuilLiom
The hidden face of the moon (is a masterpiece) by Lenna for NayaKaticThere’s a lot of people that cares about Alex Danvers, even if she’s a little oblivious about it. (Or the one where everybody is a little in love with Alex)

Coffee by orphan_accountAlex gets a new neighbour. This neighbour may or may not make Alex lose concentration at work. Loosely based on this au prompt: ‘Our flats are opposite each other and your kitchen window faces my kitchen so we always see each other making coffee at 3am’
Mahogany by gaygentdanversShe had been up since five this morning, having made a habit a while ago of coming in early to finish custom orders, and the last thing she had expected was to be surprised by a drenched redhead - a very attractive drenched redhead, she might add - rushing inside her bakery with a golden retriever.

Cursed by seaunicornAlex’s sixth year at Hogwarts is thrown for a loop when her father Jeremiah is killed that summer. It seems the only thing that makes her feel normal anymore is her newfound friendship with longtime quidditch rival (and Hufflepuff’s new team captain) Maggie Sawyer.
Gaze Into the Future by lhknox“Alex Danvers always knew she wasn’t normal. She was a lot smarter than her classmates - like, a lot smarter - her sister was an alien and her parents were award winning scientists. Oh, and she could see the future” or, There’s a Slight Chance I Wrote a That’s So Raven AU I’m Very Sorry
I would move mountains to make you smile by DisplacedWarriorAlex was just looking for a way to handle her giant crush without talking about it, she had no idea creating an anonymous Instagram account for her cheesy sapphic poetry would cause this much of a stir. It has half the school starry-eyed but what about the one girl it was intended for?
The Venom Hangover by BadgerspriteAlex gets affected by an alien venom. Her antidote counteracts the venom, but the combination of chemicals leaves her heavily intoxicated. She winds up losing her filter and spilling all her frustrations about being led on by Maggie directly to her face, and also inadvertently outs herself to Kara.

I Want A Reason For the Way Things Have To Be by daysofinspirationMaggie Sawyer doesn’t have the first words her soulmate will say to her written somewhere on her skin. She has a problem. Maggie Sawyer doesn’t have her own soulmate’s words on her skin. She has somebody else’s.
I Didn’t Know to Ask for You (But Now I Do) by bathtimefunduckBy a lazy follower request, here’s a pile of tumblr prompts that are one- and two-shots. Date nights, snarky assholes, and sexyfuntimes. So, so much fluff.
What We Go Through (bring me back to laughter) by NerdsbianHokieAfter ending up in front of a judge one too many times, Alex Danvers is presented with the option of prison or 200 hours of community hours at the scene of the crime. With a cousin turned sister to look out for and a pair of friends on the street, she goes for the hours, which puts her in the path of the school’s top dancer.
If What You Say Is True by DontBeJellyWhat if Alex took one look at James’ Guardian get-up and decided she could do better? What if Alex and Maggie actually worked at being friends first? What if Alex finally downward spiraled to the point of bleeding out behind a dumpster because what else is she good for but killing?
Agent Canary
in the midst of chaos (there is you) by comebackbehere, phoenix_inthe_fire‘We are lost, and we are falling. Hold onto me. You’re all I have, you’re all I have.’
somewhere in this new life i’ve begun (i found someone) by comebackbehere‘I found someone, it just happened out of the blue. And it took everything I had, it took me losing you. But you’ll always have a place here in my heart.’
Dress by mw4vt9Alex is having a hard time adjusting to what she had seen on Earth X as well as regularly running into Maggie after the break up. When she gets an invitation to join Sara Lance on the Waverider, she can’t really refuse the offer. She’ll get to travel through time, but will she discover something so much more in the process?
Earth Crossed by firecrackerrootNot everything that comes out a crisis is a bad thing. Luckily for Alex Danvers and Sara Lance, their recent adventure brought them together in more ways than one.
eyes wide like you’ve never seen the ocean by niravtumblr prompt: “Alex has a Christmas party to go to and needs a date but can’t bring anyone from National City so obviously Sara Lance is her only option”
Time Flies (and leaves a shadow behind) by katie76842It was easy to tell herself that sleeping with Sara was just a one-time thing. After all, there was literally nothing else to suggest it would be a recurring situation. Alex was still getting over Maggie, for starters. Things were awkward as hell, considering she’d never found herself in that situation before. Despite the fact that they’d ended on friendly hug-related terms. That wasn’t even delving into the whole they were from literally different worlds, and the fact that Alex found herself solidly living in 2018 while Sara was a time-traveler. It was meant to be a one-time thing. A wedding hookup that had ended surprisingly well. It was that simple, and that easy to accept. Nothing to freak out about. Their second time ends up happening three months later. And eventually, she loses count.

Hi! Your blog is amazing and really helpful! The Master List has helped me so much! Anyways, I was wondering if you had any tips on writing “the almost scene” (non-sexual). Like, ways to build up to it and such. Thanks!
Writing the “Almost Sex but Not Quite” Scene
First, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the blog and have found the master list to be helpful. I hope this post will be helpful, too, but I’m not 100% I’m interpreting your question correctly, so if I missed the mark, please feel free to re-submit a clarification. :)
Here goes!
1) The Long-Term Build Up
Building up to an “Almost Sex but Not Quite” scene is much the same as building up to a sex scene. You need to build up the sexual tension between the two characters ahead of the moment where they actually start making out. These posts will help with that:
The Subtle Signs of Romantic Interest and LoveGuide: Characters Falling in LoveTransitioning Through Levels of Affection
2) The Short-Term Build Up
When the moment arrives that they’re finally making out for the first time, you want to give the scene as much emotional, sensual impact as you can without them actually engaging in intercourse. To do that, try the following:
Build lots of sexual tension into whatever they’re doing prior to making out. Whether they’re having a suggestive/flirtatious conversation, laughing and romping through a flower-filled field, or on a tenderly romantic date, there are lots of opportunities to push some of that long-term build up from above to the brink.
Explore what both characters are thinking and feeling (emotionally) in the moments leading up to making out and during those first moments. Are they nervous? Excited? Embarrassed? Aching for more? Letting your reader know what’s going through the character’s minds can add a lot of impact to that moment.
Use the five senses to ramp up the description of what’s happening. What does your character hear? See? Smell? Taste? Touch? All of these things play a role in ramping up the anticipation of each subsequent touch, kiss, utterance of love and/or desire, etc.
Remember to touch on internal sensations being felt by the characters. 
3) The Cessation
If you don’t want your characters to go through with intercourse, you’ll need to figure out how to stop their make out session. There are lots of ways you can do this, so choose something that works best for the story. Some possibilities:
One or both characters puts on the brakes, saying they’re not ready to go any further at that moment.
The more fervent making out slows down and turns into a session of cuddling and conversation, maybe even blissful sleep.
The make out session is interrupted. This could be a family member or roommate arriving home unexpectedly, a text message/phone call, the doorbell ringing, a strange noise in the house, noticing the time and realizing they’re late for something.
One participant suddenly becomes angry about something, perhaps recalling an unresolved argument or the other person said something upsetting.
4) The Fade to Black
If you want your characters to go through with intercourse, but you just don’t want to show it happening, you can make use of something known as the “fade to black.” The name comes from TV shows and movies when two characters are about to have sex or starting to have sex, so the scene would literally fade to black and open on a new scene where something else was happening. The best way to write a “fade to black” is to leave off with something that implies what’s going to happen in a way that is interesting without being cheesy. Something along the lines of “we spent the rest of the night exploring our love for each other” but less cheesy and more poetic.
5) The Cut to After
Whether you cease the make out scene before it gets to sex, or let your characters have sex behind closed doors, you may want to consider how you’re going to handle the “after” scene. That may be immediately after they stop making out (or after they’re done in a “fade to black” scenario), or it could be hours later, the next day, days later… whatever. But making sure to explore what that moment meant to your character and their relationship is an important part of doing it well. Did it change anything? Did it make them closer? Did it make things awkward? Are they excited to go again? Do they feel ready for more? These are all issues worth exploring, unless, of course, it was a one night stand.
Best of luck writing your “almost” scene! :)

Ok so I'm slowly getting into siren but I'm already in love with Ben/Ryn/Maddie. So I'm nerves about watching because it seems like their destroying the triad for Ben/Ryn and I'm really hoping to be wrong cause while Ryn/Maddie could work without Ben it's not the same for Ryn/Ben.
I have a little hope that so far it seems like despite Ben obsession with Ryn and his bad choices costing him Maddie. Ryn and Maddie are still together if a bit distance. So I'm hoping Ben gets his act together and wins Maddie back with Ryn help and the Triad are happy again giving Hope 4 loving parents.
That said I was shocked that Maddie didn't get scene time with Hope in 3x09 especially with Hope remembering her time on land as a baby. I have not seen anything for 3x10
So I'm hoping that maybe in 3x10 Just maybe while Maddie looking for Dale she gets to rescue Hope and that Hope remembers Maddie

This reminds me of my boys their often just to smart for their own good lol Lets see once i told my father to lock the deadbolt not just the door knob because Brady could open the door. His answer was the handle is round not s shaped and Brady couldn't open it. Brady respones was to huff get up walk over to the door open it and stare at dad who nodded and said ok ill flip the dead bolt and i won't leave pop bottles unattended. (My other dog Ryder likes to help himself to drinks and pb&j jars)
A Short List of Shenanigans My Parent’s Dog Has Engaged In:
This is Arwen, she’s a Husky/Kelpie mix and a little Asshole:
Tumblr media
“I wonder if she can jump?” my dad asks the first five minutes we have her.  She perks up at the word, and clears a six-foot fence form sitting on the ground. “Oh.”  Says dad. “Shit.” Later that night she got up on the counter and ate three pounds of corned beef in roughtly 68 seconds but this was considered part of the learning curve of having a new dog.
I wake up at 4 AM to the sound of the toilet being flushed repeatedly in the hall bathroom, and assume plumbing is now posessed by angry and wasteful ghosts.   I get up to disconnet it and find her in the Bathroom, standing to flush the bowl, then shoving her head in to drink the running water.   I’m not totally awake, so I stand there like an idiot trying to understand this, and my sister gets up to see what the noise is, sees the same thing and also stands there.  Fiance notices my absence and does the same.   Mom eventually wakes up and finds us standing around like very confused zombies and almost joins the parade of baffled zombies before shreiking “THE WATER BILL!” We got her a circulating water bowl after that.
My parent’s don’t have AC, but they haveone of those “fridge on top, pull-out-freezer below” fridges.  Last summer, we were remarking that we might need to shave her so she didn’t get heatstroke, to which she looked up and made a disgusted noise at us. …Then got up, used the dishrag to pull open the freezer and climbed on top of the frozen vegetables, stretching out and sighing contentedly.  “Arwen,” Mom began, but was interrupted by a loud ‘WHAAAaaaaarrr?” from Arwen.  “Ok you can stay there for now but we’re getting you a kiddie pool so you have to get out when we get back.  Don’t eat anything.” She ate a bag of frozen green beans and farted for three days straight.
Took her walking along the lake with the long lead so she could sniff things to her hearts content.  She went about shoving her head in the undergrowth, usually coming up with her head covered in leaves and pollen. Except for the bush where she came back out with a 7-foot Bull Snake wrapping itself around her ehad and neck, trying it’s best to strangle her before she can eat it.   She immediately ran back to me, the parts of her face not occupied with the snake arranged in a gleeful expression of “Look!  I found Snacks!” I screamed, not immediately regognizing that it wasn’t a rattler, and fell, splitting my knee on a rock.  The screaming made her let go of the snake, but I still had to grab her and wrestle the snake off her because it lacked the sense to just scuttle away.  I finaly got it lose from her (Despite her best effort to continue trying to eat it and turned around to fling it off the trail-  -And directly into the face of one of my 90-year-old neighbors who’d come out to see what the screaming and profanity was, making her collapse. I’m pretty sure being told “I accidentally threw a snake at my neighbor.” was the highlight of that EMT’s day.  Dottie was unharmed but she still doesn’t speak to me.
One day, we left her in a Harness and overhead tether in the (at the time) unfanced back yard so she could enjoy some relatively free-range outdoors time.  I walked by the window not a minute later to find her completely GONE, and race out to the yard to find her.  It took me a good heart-pounding five minutes to realize the overhead tether was goign UP into the ancient silver maple and realized that  1. Arwen can apparently do something really weird with her shoulders where they pop out sideways, allowing her to bear-hug the tree and  2. climb a good 40 feet into the three to fight 3. A porcupine, which i didn’t even know LIVED out here. Fortunately, Porcupines weigh considerably less than Awen and she couldn’t get a good enough foothold to get all the way up to it, but I still had to climb up there and lower her down, barking dog profanities at the porcupine the whole way.
My parents recently acquired a mechanized recliner which has been instumental inmom’s hip surgery recovery.  Execpt that Awen Also likes lounging on the furniture, and is more than capable of hitting a large, elder-friendly button with her paw.  So now when she gets back from a walk or the dog park she makes a beeline for the living room, get in the recliner and pushes the button until it’s flat and stretches out in it.  My parents didn’t have a problem with this because she gets out of the chair when they ask her (Mom even tells her “Go get my chair ready” in winter because she does a good job pre-warming it), until last winter when Arwen taught my dog Charlie, another devoted couch animal how to do this. One afternoon there was a tremendous outburst fo barkign and snarling from the living room and we rished in to find both dogs in the recliner, Charlie on the fully-reclined back and Arwen on the elevated seat and foot rest, bellowing at eachother for control of the recliner, thier movments having pitched it back to it’s two hind feet, the device swaying to and fro like a leather covered boat upon the high seas, a furry mutiny on board.  Neither dog was willing to yeild the plush throne, nor to listen to the humans yelling at them to knock it the hell off, until Arwen tackled the usurper, kocking him off and managing to cantaleiver the recliner clean over, flipping it into the hall, both dogs and all humand miraculously unharmed. She still doesn’t let him sit in it.
I love her so much.
(If you got a laugh out of this, please consider donating to my Tip Jar or Paypal to get Arwen (and Charlie!) nice treats)

So one of our new vocabulary words is “malus”, meaning “bad”, and I asked my students if they could think of any English derivatives, telling them that just about any English word that begins with M-A-L is going to mean something “bad”.
I’m expecting stuff like: malice, malcontent, malnourished, or even malware or Maleficent.
Instead I get this one girl in the back of the room say “male” with the most dead-eyed expression.

Why Magna changed her mind.
To me it seem like Magna group has run into the same bad runs Rick group had. Only ASZ is the first place that a real community one thats thriving. However unlike Rick group their not coming into ASZ with a um soft group running it but a group thats been out there and faced war. They seemed a bit shocked to see Eugene just walk up and calmly take out three or four walkers while their group was panicked ready to bolt understandably well judith group of babysitters stayed calm and reacted with confidence. Thats enough to send up warning flags. I mean think about the governor men were the first we saw show any confidence in dealing with the walkers. Then lead to a place unlike anything seen in a long time by them and something their groups wanted for awhile hmm any of this sounding familiar?
Magna reacted just like any good leader want to protect her people. So i don't think anyone in ASZ fault her for hideing the knifes as thats something they themselves would do well the ones that matter atleast.
So moments after arrival you got this real hard ass comes in and basic dress down this group who saved you and makes it very clear that she doesn't want you there. The way evetyone around you responded to her seems like she in charge but there hope as the place has a council that runs things not one person and not the person who wants you gone.
In this ep Michonne does come off as a real hard person. Someone who dosen't care about people. She basicly Rick season three the only thing that matters to her is her people and she lost to much to want more. Rick in season three refused to allow new people to his group just like Michonne he didn't toss them out with nothing he got them some supples and medical attention but he wasn't risking his group.
The only person in Magna mind stoping her group from staying with ASZ is Michonne. All her group has seen between Michonne and ASZ is a group of people who are uncomfortable around her. They don't know this is in part because Michonne changed from Rick beleived death. Actually currently i don't anyone in this group at ASZ would even recognize this cold and harsh Michonne. I think only carol, Daryl and Maggie would. I mean really how do you offer confort to a woman who's boyfriend/husband fought and won a war only to die while trying to build a peaceful world, A woman who lost a son who was trying to show his people a batter way to live. I'm how do you tell her that her coldness towards people or her um aggressive ways are not the way towards peace or what ever the groups goal aside from liveing is. When the very idea of peace or whatever got her family killed. On the other hand they know she lights up around her kids. Magna group doesn't know i mean whats Siddiq to say oh the only reason i got accepted was because it was her sons dieing request? Or how about i'm the reason her son got bite? Now don't get me i'm not blaming him but i can see him blaming himself.
So you got Magna thinking the best way for her group to stay is to remove Michonne. She not seeing a woman porecting her people but a threat out to get her as Michonne had targeted her. She not thinking about the fact that killing Michonne could end in their death. She probably dosen't know that Judith is Michonne daughter figureing Judith just looks up to her and that Michonne is training her. It most likely never accured to Magna that Michonne could have a family. So when RJ comes into her picture it changes things for her. Michonne no longer just a threat but a mom there someone that will care if she gone. Michonne no longer cold but a warm and loving mother. Michonne no longer the woman who wants them gone but someone who allowed Magna to keep a weapon to allow some sense of control and comfort. She gave her the chances to come clean. RJ showed Michonne in a new light and the things her group said got threw to her and Magna decided to give it one more chance to change Michonne mind.

Just a quick reminder for people new and old to fandoms.
You do not owe someone an explaination for shipping something
You do not need to defend your ship
You do not need to prove your ship is ‘healthy’ in order to ship it
You do not need to ship healthy ships
You do not need to ship hetero, gay, or queer ships that satisfy some quota of diversity for the fandom
You do not have to ship at all
And on the flip side:
Do not try to harm others
Do not tell others they need to harm or kill themselves
Do not cross post your hate
Do not forget to tag NSFW items as people browse while on a work network
Do not post your long fics without putting it under a cut. Some people use mobile and this is really hard for them to scroll, or use text to speech
In the end, ship what you want, don’t ship what you don’t want to ship, and be courteous to one another. And as a last piece of advice, don’t focus on your notp. Post your ships instead and build up what you love, not what you hate.

A mini rick and Michonne in Judith
OK I know we all miss Carl but when I saw the aged or new Judith I didn't say aww she just like Carl. My first though was that Richonne little girl carrying a sword and gun just like her mama and daddy. She handles her self like Rick and Carl but there a bit of Michonne in there to. On that note here what I would still like to see a richonne baby well kid since it's been 5-6 by now. There be some similarities between Carl and Judith but judith be a different person. They were raised different and in different worlds. That little play fight between mother and daughter may have been actually training with it being fun. And finally I hope we get to find out what happen to Andre. We know Michonne thinks he dead but how did he die or is he alive somewhere?
