Thinking about therapy in fiction and this one episode of the early 2000s show, Numb3rs where Don is forced to go to therapy for reasons which are only tangentially important, and the show could have done the tired "put the character in therapy so we make them relive their trauma for views" or "character has therapy only to realize through outside forces that they don't need it" or worse, "horrible crackpot therapist abuses character and/or turns out to be a psychopath."

But they Didn't. And instead you get Don being Extremely Reluctant to be in therapy or deal with his (many) issues or any of that mushy garbage but he's up against A Real Pro of a counselor (impeccably played by Wendell Pierce) who just makes him talk and the pinnacle of this whole situation is that the main conversation lasts an entire episode (intercut with the rest of the characters handling that week's action, but in ways relevant to the conversation, like we're talking deep narrative parallelism here and Don is the freaking narrator) with Don becoming increasingly frustrated at having his thoughts and feelings pulled out of him when his team needs him at work, while making revelation after revelation about himself, until Pierce's character staidly declares, "You're not worried that your team will fall apart when you're not there, you're afraid that they won't." LIKE???!

AND THEN we have a Don who not only takes all this stuff he just worked out to heart, but He Isn't Magically Fixed And Fine and so he chooses to continue going to therapy long-term and it becomes part of his normal life in a casual, off-screen function, and you see him slowly blossom because of it AND THIS WAS NOT APPRECIATED ENOUGH BUT GOSH I LOVE THAT WHOLE JOURNEY.

I have a fixation on old TV series and there is one that, because of the fandom and its incredible stories, I have developed a special affection for. But for about 3 years now there's been no one writing anything...everyone abandoned it :( and now there are only new A/B fics which aren't really my taste since the series is about 2 brothers. So, imagine my happiness upon finding more than 30 (old) fics that I've never read. Oh this is going to be wonderful 😍 #numb3rs

Does anyone else consider Numb3rs and NCIS to be in the same universe? I feel like if McGee and Charlie bumped into each other at some conference or other, they would be friends. And maybe McGee one day goes “hey I have this friend in LA, he’s a mathematician, maybe he could help us with this?”

And so Charlie, since he already has clearance, easily jumps on a call with NCIS and tag teams it with McGee.

I just love the idea so much

From the Taylor Swift Midnights prompt list: 72) The first night I saw you with Don Eppes?

Tagging: @kmc1989

WOW this one got completely away from me.

The first night Don Eppes laid eyes on you, you were wearing a little black dress that left virtually nothing to the imagination. Your hair fell across your shoulders as you tipped your head back and laughed with a man twice your age as he placed his hand upon your thigh.

When he leans in close and whispers the most filthiest thing into your ear, Don can’t help but feel revolted.

“That’s certainly creative.” Sinclair murmurs over the comms system as he sips from his coke at the bar.

Don leans back in the plush Chesterfield by the fireplace as he turns the page of his newspaper, his gaze fixed on you.

“The guys a walking sex crime.”

He isn’t wrong, that’s you’re all here tonight. The man you’re sitting next to, the one whose hand is creeping even higher up your dress is suspected of drugging and murdering five women in hotels just like this one. Don doesn’t know how you can stand the feel of him on your skin.

When he invites you back up into his room, they’re all apprehensive despite it being the goal. The only way to nail this guy is to catch him with his tool kit, which they suspect he takes with him on his excursions. It’s imperative they get in there and the best way to do it…

An undercover op.

Don takes the elevator with you, his jaw clenches as he watches Richard Charmain’s hand slip down from your waist, down to your hip and then lower, his fingertips play with the hem of your dress. Your hand comes to rest on his wrist before you guide it back to your hip.

“You promised to show me your room.” You remind him with a chiding tone to your voice and Don sees the moment that switch flips in the other man. His eyes darken as his grip on you tightens.

That’s what his trigger is, Don realises. Women who talk back. He likes the ones he fucks to be pliant. The ones he kills, are the ones that resist.

He busies himself pretending  to be searching for the keycard to the room next door as he watches you step inside. He hears the door shut before he withdraws the gun from underneath his blazer. He lingers outside as Sinclair appears from the second elevator, taking up position on the opposite side.

“I’ve changed my mind.” They hear you say over the comms system and that switch it flips again.

“That’s not how it works sweetheart.”

They hear the slap through the surface of the door, you collide with something and then everything goes silent. It takes them a second to realise that Charmain has busted the mic.

Don’s heart thuds in his chest as Sinclair uses the keycard to open the door.

When he steps through the door, he’s ready to pull the trigger, to defend you. Only that’s not the scene he walks into. You have Charmain in his knees, his hands on the back of his head, a gun jutting into the base of his neck.

There’s blood running down your chin from the busted lip and your eyes are blazing. You look like a Valkyrie, beautiful, wild, furious and so fucking sexy, Don's dick twitches in his jeans.

Sinclair takes over then, handcuffing Charmain, escorting him out. You set the gun down on the sideboard, your hand trembling slightly. The adrenaline, it’s leaving your body, he knows what comes next, what the fall looks like.

“Here.” Don says, stripping off his jacket in the aftermath and draping it around your shoulders. He guides you towards a chair, sitting you down before he kneels in front of you, plucking a tissue from the box on the vanity. He uses his fingertips to tilt your chin up towards the light, dabbing lightly at the split in your lip.

“I think you’ll live to fight another day.” He smiles, his thumb ghosting along the line of your jaw as his eyes flicker up to meet yours.

He’s never seen such a rich hue of colour, so captivating, so dazzling. He thinks he understands now what Charlie means when he talks about the beauty of the stars It’s like someone’s plucked them right out of the sky and put them in your eyes.

It’s Colby that interrupts the moment, he pops his head in to ask if you need a medic and Don draws away tossing the bloody tissue into the wastepaper basket.

The next time he sees you, it’s in another hotel bar, wearing another little black dress. This time you’re alone, sipping from a glass of bourbon. Off the clock, he realises as he slips onto the barstool alongside of you.

“We have to stop meeting like this.” He says as you incline your head towards him and that smile, he thinks spend the rest of his life waking up to it.

“Isn’t this how it always starts?” You ask him as the bartender takes his order. “A guy and a girl sitting at a bar, sharing a drink?”

“Yea.” He says, his hand coming to rest on yours, fingers entwining. “I think it does.”

I love when Don gets protective

Alan wanting to teach his son things. Alan being so proud of Charlie for being the little math genius that his is, but wanting to have those moments of bonding where you help someone learn. Alan wanting to play golf with Charlie because that something Charlie doesn't know, but only if his kid is having fun.

Charlie who feels he should be better at golf because he knows the equations to make the shots. Charlie who's not having a great time, and once again feeling like he's bothering his dad.

Don stepping in to say "no, actually he just likes spending time with you, and if he can show you something you don't know all the better."

The Eppes family man. I love them

Numb3rs 2x19 Dark Matter

[bisexualmultifandommess]

That scene in season 1 where Alan tells Don and Charlie he wants to sell the house is so funny because almost immediately Alan’s 30 something year old sons turn into children.

I love how Don goes “He’s selling the house” and Charlie’s continuous response is “But I live here!” Lmao

Also Charlie is so adorable when he’s like “Are you dating a Real Estate Agent?” While you can see Don realising next to him. Their reactions when they think Alan is on a date are funny too.

She was sitting in another man’s pick up truck, kissing him on the mouth

He’s as tough as the tattoos up his right arm

He hides his heart and hurt because he kinda had to

I’ve run too many miles trying to ride out all the sadness

Oh, there was Heaven in your eyes

Shot guns and roses

Confident sexy in the heels you walking in

Ain't afraid to take chances And wears her heart on her sleeve

But if you see her tonight she’ll be flirting with Jack

 you're my favorite kind of night

Every time I see you lying next to me in this room I stop and thank the good lord for blessing me with you

Hold me close and I won't leave

I bet you love me more after that first fuck

The way that she drives me wild

I’ve talked him down from getting in a fight or two

Everything's alright when She calls me back,

I know I've waited so long to tie the knot But better late than not

But I can't stop the rush And I can't give you up

He stands his ground, he’s as stubborn as the weeds in the back yard

The daylight holds you close, but tonight you are mine

Growing up he had to go where the wind blew

When she gets that come-get-me look in her eyes

Got me pulling on your hair

So I love when you call unexpected

Don't turn off the lights (lights)Can we try something new?

Timid girl black dress with hair tied back

Teddy bears and "I'm sorry" letters

I'd be kicking myself if I didn't get one knee Give you this diamond ring

Wanna be in love but I can’t get close to anybody

You know our love would be tragic

I'd be the happiest man in the world to call ya mine

If I was here I would damn sure hate me

Somethin' 'bout you Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't

Look at me and don't you lie

I’m afraid you’ll walk away when the tears start running, but I hope not.

It's harder than I thought to tell the truth

I just fuck you and leave

Destiny called as we locked into each other's eyes

And you're all about the chase But you won't ever let me catch you

Don't bury me alive

All that you got, skin to skin, oh my God Don't you stop

Fate told me woman like you are one of a kind

Girl my eyes rose and my heart dropped to the floor The second you walked through that door

Do you lie awake restless?

I know that you want me to stay with you, but no

I ain't a stranger to the foreplay

Taking control of this kind of moment

Maybe I can drive ya home

She can't help but amaze me

I can feel your body trembling Don't worry, I'ma give it all to you

Cause I've been looking for a woman like you for quite some time

I fell in love with the Devil And now I'm in trouble

Made my decision to test my limits

Realizin', shouldn't have let you go

Gentle love but touch passionately

I took a good thing and turned into goodbye

die while saving you

You lose your friends, you lose your wife
