    Summary

    NYPD is called into a homicide where they find a uniquely disturbing scene -- a woman apparently eaten by piglets. Overwhelmed, Lieutenant Van Buren decides to call in the BAU to help find out who did it before anyone else gets killed. And what's the White Collar division doing poking their noses around a murder case? (I swear it's better than it sounds, or at least I hope so.)

     

    You don't need to have seen every show for this to make sense.

    Summary

    The boy startled, eyes snapping to him. They were blue and wide, almost startled like a deer’s. He stared at Shane’s mouth as he spoke, brow furrowing. Shane waited. The boy said something back, quiet, careful. The sounds were unfamiliar, rounded and soft.

    He pointed to himself hesitantly. “Ilya.”

    Shane smiled widely. “That’s a cool name.”

    Ilya didn’t react. He just watched Shane, uncertainty written in every line of his body.

    Shane tried again. He pointed at himself. “Shane.” Then he pointed at Ilya. “Ilya.” He held up two fingers, then pushed his stick forward so it tapped lightly against Ilya’s. “Together?”

    ***

    What if Shane and Ilya met at summer camp when they were eight?

    Summary

    "You know when you're in college," she says, "and you meet someone in your dorm during the first week, and it's crazy and you're starved for human connection and you're attached at the hip and then like three years later you realize how many times they've made you cry?"

    It's like that.

    Summary

    Based on this tumblr post:
    No one has noticed that I am not in the polycule. I have been dish martyr for 6 months now and my place in the house is all but solidified. I pay no bills, I have no rent to speak of; my only fear is that soon someone will ask “who are you dating?” and my palace will collapse on my head.

     

    Day 180 since Craig moved in. He clearly thinks he’s dating one of us, but we can’t figure out who. It’s possible one of us is lying about it for some reason but so far our efforts at Inquisition has led nowhere. We would kick him out, but he’s been doing the dishes for us. We’ve decided that for the sanity of the polycule we’ll keep up the charade. If all of us continue to be flirty with him, he’ll project his attraction onto whoever the hell he thinks is into him. This house of cards is delicate but necessary.

     

    And my immediate response to reading this was “...................this is so Matthias-core” so here this is :)
