Summary
“At least you are consistent with your body horror tropes,” she mumbles, disturbed and intrigued for the wrong reasons all at once. If she lingers any longer on that matter, she might have to wipe off her just eaten breakfast from the kitchen floor.
Zosia says nothing to that. Why would the Venus flytrap be concerned with the fly it has already successfully trapped?

Summary
There’s only one bed, JJ is in deep, and Emily Prentiss is a menace.

Another fic set during S5E21 Exit Wounds because the writers really gave us a one-bed setup and expected me to be strong. I was not.

Summary
Emily doesn’t stay long that night. Just long enough to rinse a few dishes, trade bedtime jokes with Michael about brushing his teeth “like a dragon,” and sit with JJ on the porch for a brief glass of wine. The conversation drifts easily—work, the boys, memories from past cases—and when Emily gets up to leave, she squeezes JJ’s shoulder with a gentleness that lingers.
And somehow, that one evening turns into another.Bookmarked by samgroves
