nice pair of characters who trust each other more than anyone else in the whole entire world it would sure be a shame if one of them betrayed that trust for the sake of trying to keep the other alive. it would sure be a shame to love someone so much you destroy them

Okay so Shepherd ISN'T subtle and honestly I don't believe she loves Roman or Jane, or ever did.

Start with their names. Renaming children you adopt is a red flag in itself, essentially stripping them of one of the only gifts their original parents were able to give them. But renaming children as old as Roman and Remi were, who lost their parents due to violence the way they did, is downright cruel. It's an excision of their life with their parents, and the start of her molding them into what she wanted. Shepherd adopted them for herself, not for them. She raised them from childhood to be soldiers, not loving or happy people. And the names she chose for her "family" are also very telling.

First, her own name. Shepherd. Someone who guides the herd. Then Roman and Remi...it's giving Romulus and Remus, the twins who founded Rome. They were the children of Mars, god of War. They were abandoned at birth and adopted by...a shepherd. At one point in their story, Remus is captured by the enemy and rescued by Romulus. But ultimately they fought over where to establish their great city, and Romulus murdered Remus and became the sole founder of what would eventually become the Roman Empire.

Not only was Shepherd setting up her "children" to be her generals in the war she wanted to start, I believe losing Remi was not just a possibility but part of her plan. Roman is volatile but malleable, a follower for both Remi and Shepherd. But the Remi we see in flashbacks was a natural leader in ways that would be threatening to someone as manipulative and controlling as Shepherd, who claims to want an end to corruption and tyranny...but does she?

In the flashback with a young Kurt, I'd argue she lets her true desires slip. What she truly seeks is power. She doesn't want to take boots off necks, she just wants to be the one wearing the boots. And she doesn't want to be the face of power, but she does want to be the one pulling the strings. If her plant succeeds, she'll be the face of a revolution and can "cede" power to her handpicked leaders...but she'll still have the firepower and leverage.

But Remi is a staunch idealist and true believer in the cause who still does care deeply about other people. She was always going to see Shepherd for what she is eventually. Hell, maybe she did, and we just don't have that piece of the puzzle yet in season 2.

The point is that Sandstorm could have gotten those clues to Weller and his team in other ways, arguably ways that would be less messy and full of unexpected problems and variables. Erasing Remi's memory mainly serves one key purpose: it eliminates a threat to Shepherd's power. Either Remi becomes someone vulnerable who can be more easily manipulated, or she dies in the course of the mission.

Either way, Shepherd wins.

One of my favorite scenes from the 1st season is in episode 8.

Weller and Jane are talking after a shoot out with some corrupt cops. Specifically, Weller dropped a flashbang in a pretty close enclosed space, and the concern that Jane has for Weller, and the joking he does... The lightness in the moment just makes my heart happy.

You are my favourite whump creators. I like your whump fics so much, most of all Kurt whump. So I reread them over and over. I'd be more than happy if you're returning to creation mode.

Saw someone do this. Thought it would be fun!

The extent to which I am suffering by my inability to find that fic about Weller and Remi in the snow being chased across a river and also there was a dog, Christmas re-read tradition ruined D:

"Remember to Forgive" is one of my favourite stories from #indelibleevidence

Who prefers another perspective of #blindspot I can highly recommend this work.

You wake up in the hospital after a major accident. To your confusion, your rival (your families have been feuding for years) is there crying tears of relief and calling you 'sweetheart.' What's even stranger is that she looks older and is visibly pregnant.

Some fanfictions have left a more profound impression on me than published literature, and I want to encourage every fic writer: Write and write from the heart. Don't let fear stop you, because your impact is bigger than you think💜

Remi wakes with a start, a silent scream still caught in her throat.

It was a nightmare, she realizes. Kurt, getting beaten to death in an alleyway. Arriving too late, sobbing even though there’s no one there to pretend for.

She turns to see if she’s disturbed his sleep and groans when she realizes he’s not in bed. Remi wonders if she reached out for him in the middle of the night, the way her body often does, and hurt him by accident. She had told him she would sleep in the other room, wary of his injuries. But he’d insisted he needed her near him to rest and she had been unreasonably relieved to be able to stay.

It had been a long night of x-rays, CT scans, various other medical procedures. Eventually he’d received nine stitches for a cut above his left eyebrow and been diagnosed with three broken ribs and a concussion. Not bad considering the doctor had been worried about a skull fracture, bleeding in his brain. And about as well as possible considering how he’d looked when she found him in the alley.
