i fear that someday you might not leave me

Having gotten my ass kicked by conquered the 27-page exam yesterday, I am officially done with this semester. DONE. Like a delicious porterhouse steak someone on Top Chef might make and then get eliminated because it's too simple and they took the easy way out by not cooking it with, I don't know, liquid nitrogen.

I'm all finished with core of the actual book-study part of this year. I have two more weeks of intense advocacy training in the middle of May, but that is mostly bullshit and pretending to be on Boston Legal.

So to celebrate my month-long break in which I plan to do absolutely nothing, I'm taking prompts again! Because it's been forever since I've written anything fic-ish. Fickish? Whatever. You can either choose a ecard from someecards.com, which has been done before and led to ... a lot of Chad.



Alternatively, you can pick a fic that I've written (check the fic tags or the sad and abandoned delicious and give me a timestamp, e.g. two weeks before, or five years after, etc. etc. and I will tell you what happened two weeks before or five years after whatever the hell went on in that fic, if I even remember.

OR you can just name one of the universes I've written and I'll tell you how it ends, because let's face it, I'm never going to have time to write fic ever again once my slavish duties totally awesome job starts.

But until then! Writing! Lesbians! Schmoop! Writing lesbian schmoop! YAY!!!

Thanks! I'm delighted that it makes sense; after all, it's a universe about a quantum baby. Which should exist. I would like to have a quantum toddler visit me from time and to time and then I'd just shove her back into her own universe when she shits her pull ups.

Anyway, this is set in the same Criminal Minds RPS AU (http://wizened-cynic.livejournal.com/442868.html?thread=5565428#t5565428), where Paget is crazy (or is she?) and A.J. is wistful:


* * *

No one has ever seen Paget do any work.

In fact, no one's really sure what Paget's job is, only that she replaced Lola, who got fired after she started taking her parakeets to work and tried to shoot Bernero when he told her she couldn't.

Paget spends a great deal of her day hanging around A.J.'s desk, and A.J. is mostly all right with that. She says mostly because once in a while Gibson from HR pulls A.J. aside and lectures her on the perils of office romances, especially those involving the clinically insane. Case in point: Lola.

And there's also the thing where A.J. needs to get her work done, so she can keep her job and afford things like food and clothes and rent, and having Paget around her is not terribly conducive to that.

Which is why, though slightly disappointing, it is also a relief when Paget naps in her cubicle this morning and allows A.J. to catch up on last week's files.

She's only a third of the way done when Matthew throws his wireless mouse onto the floor in a fit of rage and screams in the Paget's direction, "WHA is not a word! Tell me which dictionary defines 'wha' as a word!"

Gibson stands up and, scrubbing his face with his hand, says, "No more Machiavellian scrabble, kids. It's bad for office morale."

It's silent for another twenty minutes until Paget appears at A.J.'s side. "Hey."

"Hey."

"Let's prank Mundy."

A.J. raises an eyebrow.

"Well, Bernero's in LA, and Messer scares me," says Paget.

"I didn't think anything scared you," says A.J.

"Messer scares me," Paget repeats, and then adds thoughtfully, "and manatees. They're like deformed mermaids."

"It's Tuesday," A.J. reminds her. "No pranks until the afternoon."

"Come on, don't make me do work," Paget whines. "Time could be much better spent stealing toilet paper."

"Have you ever actually done work? You should try it once in a while."

"I've already done everything for the week," Paget says, so blithely that she doesn't seem to be lying.

Which is crazy, because nobody has ever seen Paget work.

"You've never seen the Sasquatch, but he still exists," Paget says defensively.

A.J. says, "Uh, no, he doesn't."

"So you say," says Paget. "Here's the secret, my friend." She leans down towards A.J.'s ear, and her breath is warm and smells like cinnamon. "I work really fast. It's a curse. I can't tell anyone because they'd make me do more work, and I don't need that shit in my life. Now that I've told you, you must swear to keep it a secret or I'd have to kill you and put your head on a stick to warn the others. I'm kidding --- or am I?"

"Let's prank Mundy," A.J. says, because there's no way she can concentrate on data entry after being simultaneously turned on by having Paget so close to her and utterly terrified by 70% of the stuff that comes out of Paget's mouth.

"I love this job," says Paget.

Your Paget is very much like the character she played on the show with Andy Richter.

"It wasn't about African Americans. It was about the Irish."

I've only seen bits and pieces of ARCTU but Jessica was hilarious in what I saw.

Damn, I wish I still had my Emily Prentiss icon.

I've only seen two vids of her on the show.

Actual clips from her character being slightly gay and awesome on the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLRxXk-m3NY

And an awesome vid of her dancing and being weird/funny on tv shows and in RL: http://vimeo.com/14499839

Unrelated, but I dreamed Emily Prentiss babyfic last night. I was as awesome as you might imagine. THE END.
