why aren't there more mysteries that take place in nursing homes & retirement communities. i want to watch a group of deranged retirees-cum-amateur-detectives combine their powers of:

decades of life experience

boredom-fueled busybody shamelessness

access to the most gossipy next-door-neighbors in existence

"I am too old to be arrested and/or give a shit" attitude

and solve crimes. this should be an enormous subgenre.

trying to keep it classy due to newfound info but god he’s such a freaky slut he might as well be naked

I think I cracked the code

[sefynarose]

okay but something i keep thinking about is the fact that mc, Rafayel, Zayne, Xavier and Sylus are currently all in the same timeline/lifetime. in the main story we’ve interacted with all four so far, and we’ve learned through their cards/myth/scenes about their past with mc and what has brought them here now. so is it not a fact that they are all SIMULTANEOUSLY pining and craving for her?! a man who betrayed a god, a man who betrayed his kingdom & people x 2, a man who?? well we aren’t sure for sylus just yet but LISTEN!! If the ending of this game is that she only chooses ONE the rest of them are fucked. they’re screwed in this lifetime and have to watch their soulmate, the love of their life go with ANOTHER. that’s absolutely insane

The people of Gotham both fear and revere The Signal. As they do the rest of the Batfam but for Signal it's a bit different.

For starters, he's the only daytime hero. The other Bats usually only come out at night when the city is quieter. And while it's far from asleep, they prioritize stopping the numerous crimes that occur in the shadows. Civilian interactions far and few. Most pictures of them online seemed more like cryptid sightings than heroes soaring through Gotham skies.

The Signal on the other hand was the people's Bat. They got to see him soar through the sky, or ride his bike in all his golden glory. He gave autographs, took photos, and joined them on their daily commutes. He was a regular at mom-and-pop shops, made sure the troubled kids made it to school, and checked in on the sick and elderly. And while he did work with them when necessary, he mostly liked to fuck with the police, like a true Gothamite would.

All in all, he was the sweet sunshine that Gotham needed. He was far more human than the others. Not that he was human, oh heck no! NONE of the bats were human! But it felt that way. Until you were reminded that he was INDEED a Bat.

The way he merged and appeared out of the shadows despite his bright yellow suit, and moved without a sound. He knew about people and things before they happened. And had an intelligence that was absolutely terrifying when thought about. And the way he took care of crimes?

The Signal is cold, borderline brutal, and efficient (with commentary that leaves you agape and a chill down your spine) when dealing with criminals. It was always jarring to witness the sudden change from Gotham's sunshine boy to stone-cold Bat, and back again. It almost gave you whiplash to realize that this was the vigilante that you were talking to about your puppies a few moments ago. And it really instilled the Fear™ that that bats were known for.

The other Bats were terrifying, shadowy demons that moved through the night. Stopping crime in the darkness. Gotham knew and appreciated this. But the Signal? He was the bright light at the end of the tunnel and the warmth of the brilliant sun. But he was also...

PLEASE write bau!rossi!reader with hotch where he likes her and she likes him, they are both aware of that but he keeps trying to ignore it because it’s his best friends daughter.

So much for nepotism.

Getting you into the team at your age and under your father's guidance was a paperwork hell, a paperwork hell you both guaranteed would be worth it, you were calm, centered and had the educational background to help with the profiles, bachelors' in psychology, masters in forensic psychology.

Sure the knowledge helped with the cases, but it didn't give you any tools to avoid falling for your boss. If being the daughter of one the team members wasn't complicated enough, trying to keep your heart in a steady matter every time Hotch glanced at you certainly didn't help.

He was kind and driven and he made you laugh, which wasn't really that hard, what was surprising was how often you made him laugh, smile. It was the topic of gossip you both pretended not to hear, how he was always smiling when you were around.

Sure your father probably was in on the gossip as well, but you weren't about to ask him about it, you weren't sure how Aaron was dealing with it, but you damn sure knew he was being more and more avoidant of your touches, even though he couldn't help himself from touching your shoulder, or asking if you had everything in your go-bag, getting you coffee because you didn't like the ones precincts had, making sure you spent more time inside than on the field so you wouldn't get hurt.

But if you tried to touch his hand, or asked him out for drinks, if he wanted help late at night... He would avoid it like the plague. Like he knew if he went just one step further he wouldn't be able to control himself, to keep you away from him.

And he needed to keep you away.

Giving in to what he felt could jeopardize your career, and worse, make him lose both Dave and you, he couldn't lose anybody else.

So he ignores the way his heart skips a beat or two, and he avoids your gaze when you look back at him and catches him staring at you. He shuts your invites down, he doesn't hold or touch your hand. He keeps you close because he needs you but not too close for the same reason.

It's selfish and cruel, and probably the only part of his life where he allows himself to be cowardly, the way he hurts you both so he doesn't have to face the consequences of what could be, accepting the fate of what it is.

And as it is, you are Rossi’s daughter. and SSA Aaron Hotchner is your boss. And that is all it can ever be.
