Bucktommy-missing scene: 7x09-265 words

They sit back at their table, the only ones there for the moment. Chim follows them.

"So he was calling you a-" Buck says slowly as they sit down.

"Yep," Tommy says, popping the 'p.' "Thanks, Howie. You didn't have to do that."

Chimney shrugs, grabbing a piece of food off his plate and popping it into his mouth. "I wasn't sure he knew about you, but you guys aren't exactly subtle, so I thought it was better safe than sorry. Also it was safer than punching him in the face."

"Hey!" Buck protests. "I have not grabbed his ass once today, thank you very much."

"I saw you guys making out in your jeep on my way in."

Tommy snorts and Buck can feel the heat suffuse his cheeks. "Have you seen him, Chimney?"

Tommy says "Evan, for goodness sake-" and Buck shoots him a wink, glad he's managed to get that Gerrard-related look off his face.

"Not my type, Buckaroo," Chim says as he eyes Maddie talking to Athena. "But you do you."

"I will, thank you," Buck says primly. He glances at Tommy a little uncertainly because he'd like to kiss him, but he also doesn't want to put Tommy in any weird spots with Gerrard just having done what he did.

He needn't have worried. Tommy leans forward and plants a sweet kiss on his mouth.

"Ugh," Chimney fake-gags. "You guys are gross. I'm gonna go kiss my wife."

"Bye," Buck says, not taking his eyes off Tommy, who's eyeing him with an expression of affection and fondness. Buck loves that look.

Maya Fey's character is written in such a charmingly, heart wrenchingly subtle way. She has to face all manners of tragedy, but she always has that smile on her face and presses on, feigning happiness and lightheartedness. It's honestly somewhat disturbing. How can someone smile so seemingly easily after such tragedy? Can you imagine going to your sister’s workplace, expecting to spend a quiet evening together, and instead... you see a slumped silhouette against the wall of the window? She spawns the most crazy things out of her mouth just to fill the silence sometimes. Why? Sure, it may be for the game's comic relief… but sometimes it appears a tad forced? Like it’s because she wants to build a relationship with Phoenix - like her sister asked her - and doesn't quite know how to. He’s the only person that can understand what she’s going through. She’s suffering. He’s suffering. So she needs to fill the silence somehow. And she drags him along most times, she is the one that decides they should take Power’s case, after all. After Edgeworth's trial she feels useless (even though she clearly was the reason Phoenix could save him... can you believe she just charged in against Von Karma? that's insane) and goes back home to resume her training so she can help Phoenix again. After Edgeworth's ‘death’, Phoenix didn't keep in touch. Although she didn’t know about Edgeworth, she knew that the whole year had been hard on them both in the first place... so she grew worried, and basically bargained with her client to go and get him and drag him to Kurain. Phoenix can get back into taking cases just because she's there to cheer him up. So she needs to be strong! Even though she's suffering tremendously as well. Mia isn't there anymore and now she also needs to take care of her cousin because apparently she can’t even have her aunt to rely on, because for some reason the universe decided to give her the most complicated family drama imaginable. When they face Franziska? She's awfully perceptive. She's only 18, and instead of being angry at Franziska's behavior, she wonders how she can be so strong? And she seems to admire her? Would a 18 year old accused of murder think that of the accuser? That's frankly baffling. It shows maturity far beyond her age, to think of the true feelings behind people’s behavior despite what it means for her situation. And then she gets kidnapped. And still, she feigns being fine… Then then Hazakura happens. All that and she's still thinking about other people! She tries to protect Godot, even though it's a moot point. She tries to be strong for Pearl - as Edgeworth points out - and she tries so hard to not make everything affect her. She takes everything in stride but also suppresses her feelings. And she's very very good at it, even. She seems fine. Franziska is baffled at her nonchalance, and somehow Edgeworth is the one who needs to explain it, perhaps because they had similar experiences and their tragedy is linked to the same root. Edgeworth tried to repress his feelings as well (although he is, by contrast, very very bad at hiding them) so he knows what he's talking about. I quite like that scene at the end of AA3 because that makes it deliberate on Takumi’'s part that he wanted to write her that way from the start. (it also adds to the development of 3 characters at once: Maya, Miles and Franziska) Her misfortunes don’t end here, either. SOJ happens. Kidnapped again, accused of murder again. People she trusted betray her and she finds it in her heart to forgive them? And now she also has a ton of responsibilities. And she needs to appear even stronger now in front of other people, because they depend on her. She’s still cheerful though. Because she needs to be. She first needs to be strong for Phoenix, then Pearl, then for the whole village of Kurain. And she manages to be, somehow. I love when characters are written this way. Once you have all the pieces together, if you go back and analyze their behavior, it makes the experience so much richer and so much more meaningful.

Having nursing students from my nursing school is always a blast cause it just shows me that some teachers still refuse to correct the information/practices they teach..... and it's been years. Then, when these students go out into the field, the nurses there just sigh and go "listen.... who taught you this? there's scientific evidence against this practice??"

After their latest case, the three central members of the Dead Boy Detective Agency have been sitting in their office for an hour when Charles excuses himself for a minute. It’s while he’s gone that Crystal snaps. “Will you just tell me how I fucked up, Edwin? It’s not like you to miss an opportunity to,” she almost yells.

Edwin blinks at her in confusion. “Why would you think you had - messed up?”

“Don’t play coy. You always shake my hand after cases. And you didn’t this time. Because you think I fucked this up.”

“Oh.” Edwin’s eyes are ever so slightly widened, and he leans forward. “No, Crystal, I - it wasn’t you. You… your performance was satisfactory. I shake your hand after successful cases, and… this time, I messed up. Not you. So the case was not successful.”

Crystal is silent for several moments. “What? What did you do?”

“I was too slow with the spell, and Charles was nearly injured.”

Crystal shakes her head vehemently. “No offense to Charles, but he was nearly injured because he ran in too early. That’s not on you.”

Edwin crosses his arms firmly over his chest and turns away from her, towards the wall, the wall through which Charles had disappeared minutes earlier. “It is my role to prevent this sort of failure. I should have predicted his response and been prepared for it.”

Crystal slumps back, her mouth slightly open. “Oh my god, you two are idiots.”

Edwin twitches.

“Charles,” Crystal half-yells over Edwin’s shoulder, “get back through that wall and deal with your idiot.”

Charles sheepishly appears through the wall. “I wasn’t listening, I swear.”

“Edwin didn’t shake my hand because he’s an idiot and you two have your co-dependent little mutual protection thing,” Crystal fails to explain, “so I’m gonna go, I dunno, take a nap, and neither of you is going to have a weird guilt complex when I get back. Got it?”

Charles blinks at her.

“Great. Night.”

Crystal retreats, through the door like a civilized person, and as she leaves sees Charles gently tugging one of Edwin’s arms out of its cross. Edwin’s pointedly not looking at him, but doesn’t resist the tug.

Crystal rolls her eyes.

Idiots.

How would ando deal with the existencal horror of his brother never ever letting him die?

¡A question related to one of the central points of the AU! (OoO)

Happy and conflicted because answering your question would be a kind of spoiler, but maybe I can answer part of it in a different way (ouo)/

¡Here it goes!~

As I mentioned before, Ando is still not aware of what his brother did to him to bring him back, and even less that his brother has him tied to life for "a reason" that I have yet to draw <(ouo)>

(That also includes how Ando would react to knowing this, sorry.)

But what I can say is that whatever the lamb has done will have consequences.

Both for him and for Ando.

At some point, I will talk more about this, but for now, this is all (owo)

¡Thanks for asking, and sorry for the wait! (>//<)/

Remember in Haunted when Shannon broke down crying and said "he must hate me?"

What if Chris gets mad about Kim, and Eddie talks to someone about it and says the exact same thing?

[henbeaka]
