Inuvember Part 2

In honor of @inuvember InuKag Day, the Archive Mods have put together a 30 day InuKag recommendation list: one fic per event prompt, all with a distinct InuKag (as OTP and OT3) flair. Since this is longer than our usual lists, we split it into two parts. Enjoy!

Day 16 Kohaku

Three Is A Crowd by Happy_Ocelot (G)

While stopping by to babysit his cute nieces and nephew, Kohaku comes to the horrifying realization that his beloved sister is in some kind of strange exhibitionist relationship. There were only so many times he could listen to his brother-in-law talking about hitting the ten or twenty children mark before snapping.

Good thing Kagome is there to help.

Humor, post-ending.

Day 17 Kaede

If We Fall Anyway by @soliska (M)

What if the shikon jewel didn’t exist and Naraku never came to be? What if Kagome fell down the well anyway and met a gruff, young inu-hanyou. Would they still become friends? What would be their story?

A tale told in snippets.

Day 18 Totosai

Mamorinuku by Nindeoronra (T)

Inuyasha commissions Totosai to make a new sword. Is it for him or for another?

Day 19 InuKag

Little Family by @xoxopandapanda (T)

Post Canon and A/U: Inuyasha and Kagome's family grows in time, starting with a little child who needs parents to teach him to love.

Day 20 MirSan

Shelter by @lavendertwilight89 (E)

Song fic inspired Stuck with You and Shelter

Inuyasha has been alone most of his life and one moonless night he gets caught up with a young priestess. She saves him and he, in return, helps her. What he doesn't realize is this priestess holds a lot of secrets which may or may not cost both of them their lives...

Day 21 InuKik

Kokoro no Kakera by @callmegri and @kirrtash (M)

She didn’t remember how she got there, only knew that it was warm, and soft. She hadn’t felt warmth since she was brought back to life. Where was she? What happened to her? The last thing she remembered was her reincarnation sitting on the ground next to that waterfall… She didn’t understand why Kagome helped her, again.

When a tired heart starts beating again, gravity itself has to rearrange to make space for it. But old wounds ask for closure before unspoken feelings can bloom, so all the pieces of shattered hearts can fit together.

Day 22 Sess Ships

In Hindsight by @mrfeenysmustache (T)

Hindsight is 20/20. Or.. it’s supposed to be anyway. A Drabble series about overcoming our misconceptions and all the little ways we talk ourselves out of happiness. InuKag Post Canon

Day 23 Kouga Ships

From the Hearts - and the Wrapping Company by @clearwillow (NR)

A gift for UnderwaterOphelia in the IYFF Book Club Secret Santa exchange. Christmas isn't going according to anyone's plans, except Koga's. Between the heat in the apartment making it feel like it's July and the endless boxes Inuyasha and Kagome keep finding, there has to be a good reason for the devious look in their boyfriend's eyes.

Day 24 Other Ships

There's Something In the Mist by @splendentgoddess (X)

A gruesome discovery in the forest is a warning that goes unheeded by the Inu-tachi who have no idea what demonic influences are at play. They will soon have intimate knowledge of what fate awaits them...intimate knowledge of each other.

Day 25 LGBT

The Real Me by @fawn-eyed-girl & @kalcia (E)

Kagome Higurashi is one of the top music journalists in the country, and her latest assignment is to write a story on one of the biggest rock bands in the world: Inutachi. She is immediately attracted to the lead singer, Inuyasha Masaki, a brooding, edgy hanyou who is battling his own inner demons. As Inuyasha and Kagome are increasingly drawn to one another, Kagome becomes more and more determined to discover just what has happened to Inuyasha that caused him to turn down such a dark path, and why she cannot seem to stay away from him.

Day 26 LGBT

Three's Company by @anisaanisa (E)

Threesomes were good. Threesomes were fun. Threesomes were safe. Threesomes didn’t involve feelings. Inuyasha’s in love with his best friend, and it takes five years and long-distance for him to get his head out of his ass.

Day 27 Platonic

Snoring Is the Sixth Love Language by @superpixie42 (T)

Somewhat against his will, Inuyasha finds himself sharing a hut and its one small futon with Shippo after a thunderstorm traps them in a foreign village. But Shippo's snoring means Inuyasha won't be getting any sleep, and instead spends the night alone with his thoughts. A three-year-gap, There Was Only One Bed Prompt fic, filled with found family feels. Rated T for language. Featuring art by Artnisa (AnisaAnisa) !

Day 28 AU

The Captain and the Hanyou by @goshinote (T)

In a world in which youkai have been forced into hiding after the Great War, Captain Higurashi is known as one of the cruelest youkai-hunting pirates. After Captain Higurashi kidnaps Inuyasha, a prized hanyo, a plan is set in motion. Inuyasha will find out Captain Higurashi is nothing like the stories say, and he will discover that nothing is truly as it seems...

Day 29 AU

Aurora by @thunderpot (T)

"It is said that a long time ago in the age of heroes — when Mother Earth was awake and the Gods walked among mortals — there was once a beast created by the Sun that fell in love with a great warrior."

A creative exercise from inuvember prompt: Myth Au

Day 30 Fandom Day

Like Shards of the Shikon (a multi-author/artist collaborative AU)

A little craziness that got too big for Tumblr. "Like Shards of the Shikon" is a live action television version of the popular manga 'Inuyasha'. Follow the actors as they live, learn, and laugh together. Expect fluff, laughs, a little romance on and off screen. A mixture of art and text - we're just making it up as we go. Join the general craziness!

READ PART (1) HERE

A special shoutout to friend of the Archive @sometimes-icanstillhear-sitboy for creating a series of Inuvember fic-rec TikToks based on this list!

Don't get me wrong, I adore E x Wednesday (I cried when they hugged), but...I feel like the popularity of the ship could risk Weyler. Again, I LOVE their friendship and I would pick romantic E x Wednesday ANY DAY over X and Wednesday, but I just feel like Weyler are better suited because of their shared darkness and unspoken understanding.

I hope they don't do what a lot of popular shows do these days and rewrite things just to make the fans happy. 🫠 I mean, I might get over it since it would be great representation and that's a win, but...an OTP is an OTP so...😔

Hello anon!! I get the concern, but I am genuinely not worried about the writers changing their game plan just because of some fans, for a number of reasons.

First, in the one interview I saw circulating where they were asked directly about the possibility of romantic wenclair, they did a CLASSIC PR move of saying “well anything’s possible” before spending loads of time talking about how Wednesday and Enid’s FRIENDship is something that’ll be at the core of the story and that they want a positive female friendship in the show to set a good example for their daughters. They also emphasize friendship with the rest of the Nevermore kids, which is really reading to me like they have no intention of turning any of Wednesday’s school peers into a romantic interest right now (if ever).

Secondly, the writers have consistently spoken on how Wednesday was attracted to Tyler’s dark side and that it’s very on brand for her to be into him. They’ve also confirmed that they will be exploring Tyler’s true feelings for Wednesday in s2, and stated that Tyler has a “primal attraction” to her. They very much intend on furthering Wednesday and Tyler’s intertwined story, which bodes well for us!

Third, Netflix is just making it look good for us! Weyler has gotten so much promotion in their posts about Wednesday across their global accounts, and posts with Weyler have also gotten them some of the highest impressions on social media. And just today, Netflix Turkey posted on their story that their fave couple of 2022 was Weyler, and the official Wednesday Instagram account pinned a comment that said “I loved Wednesday and Tyler together” beneath a post that really has nothing to do with Weyler besides Tyler (well, Tyler mid-transformation) being in it.

Along those same lines, plenty of people are pitching for Tyler’s redemption arc and getting them back together. Weyler edits across social media platforms have been getting MILLIONS of views and hundreds of thousands of likes, if not millions. I think it’s super easy to forget that the very vocal fans in fandom spaces are not always (if ever) the majority, especially with a show that’s racked up as many viewing hours as Wednesday has. Just from existing online it seems like a fair bit of the general public REALLY liked Wednesday and Tyler, and are hoping he gets redeemed and they find a way back together. Between the writers discussing plans to have them continue to explore their feelings for each other and the narrative in s1 already heavily implying there’s something special with those two, I think we’ll be okay!

ALL that said, if for some reason Weyler doesn’t end up together, I would HOPE they’d go the Wenclair route. Either that or Wednesday ends up single. Really not a fan of Xavier at all, as a character or as a match for her. But I feel like Tyler and Wednesday have a FANTASTIC shot at being THE couple of the show, so don’t stress too much!

I can't believe we've reached the end of 2023. It was an up and down year for me personally. I've been struggling more with my health in these last couple of months with little answers as of now. But I'm grateful to be able to come here and interact with this fandom. I am so grateful to all the amazing people that are still here. We may be small, but this fandom has such heart. I have loved finding new people to follow and become friends with this year. I've loved hosting the book clubs and getting to know people and their MCs better through that. 2023 in the fandom is definitely one to remember.

I am proud of all the things I've written this year. It has been fun to continue exploring my OTPs. If I counted correctly, I shared 74 stories. It's not my most active year, but it's more than I thought I had.

Thank you to everyone who has ever supported me and my writing. I can't tell you how much it means to me.

I hope everyone has a beautiful and amazing 2024. May only good things come your way 💛💛💛

(character ask game)

pmd hero? (can be any pmd game)

Oooh, that’s a good one! Probably gonna have to go with pmd2 hero. Now, with them being a fairly blank slate character so the player can fill in their own personality, it’s a little tough, but I’ll give it a go >:)

favorite thing about them

They find themself in what, in reality, is quite a horrific situation—you’ve been transformed into a Creature and lost all your memories—but are still kind and open to exploring. They don’t have much direction without Partner, but they always go all-in into whatever mission or trial they’re facing.

least favorite thing about them

Probably how passive they can be. Whenever there’s a conflict, the other characters kind of drag them into fights, while they’re mostly along for the ride. It would have been nice for them to speak up and take a little initiative at times. (Explorers of Spirit spoiler alert: of course, aforementioned ROM hack can scratch that itch :P)

favorite line

They have…….so few lines :( But their farewell speech at Temporal Tower, with the whole “you have to keep living,” sentiment gets me every time ;0;

brOTP

Grovyle, and Celebi pre-amnesia for sure!

OTP

Partner! They’re soulmates <3

nOTP

Anyone other than Partner really. I said in a previous ask Partner/anyone from Team Skull would be vomit-inducing, so same applies here I think.

random headcanon

Following everything, they’re not quite sure how they feel about Grovyle. They like him as a friend, but are also aware that they could never have the same friendship they did before the amnesia. I imagine there’s a lot of conflicting feelings, such as an unspoken obligation to feel more regard and friendship for him than they actually do, and then guilt for not genuinely feeling that way. Also bc of it (and my hero being a treecko) they feel nervous about evolving because they’re not sure if they can look at ‘him’ in the mirror until evolving a second time.

unpopular opinion

Not unpopular per se, but a lot of interpretations I see have them as kind of cool and edgy, but in my opinion they’re kind of a little twerp (affectionate). They’re smart enough to navigate a strange world with no memories, but I imagine they’re also weird, funny, and perhaps a tad unsettling. (Also Grovyle is undeniably a weird guy imo, he’s gotta get it from somewhere). Basically this:

song i associate with them

We Stand in Silence by Twelve Titans Silence is a beautiful instrumental piece that always makes me think of them for some reason. When I first listened to it, I got the visuals of someone waking up, finding themselves kind of alone, lights coming into their life (Partner and the Guild), finding themselves alone and lost again (Dark Future arc) and then fighting for a goal they don’t fully remember or understand, but nonetheless now know is important (fighting to stop the Dark Future). I like making plots to instrumental music :P

favorite picture of them

There are so many good treecko artworks out there that I couldn’t possibly pick one! That being said, @snekkerdoodles did this most excellent drawing upon request, which I absolutely adore <3

#Graminos #thanks for the ask!#snekkerdoodles I hope you don’t mind me putting that there it’s just so cute <3 #Pmd2 hero is so special and part of the magic is being able to superimpose your own personality on them much of the time #The other heroes are great too but I don’t recall feeling as connected to them #They felt a little more fleshed out as their OWN characters from what I recall

NCIS: Los Angeles Season 14 Rewatch: “Of Value”

The basics: The team works to save a married team of architects with DoD contracts who were kidnapped in front of their children and nanny

Written by: Kyle Harimoto wrote "Omni", "Merry Evasion", "Chernoff, K", "Command and Control" as episode 150, "Granger, O.", "Ghost Gun", "Kulinda", "767", "Se Murio El Payaso", "Assets"/"Liabilities", "Venganza", "Superhuman", "One of Us", "Let Fate Decide" (season 11 premiere), "Decoy", "Answers" , "Watch Over Me", "Cash Flow", "Fukushu", "Bonafides" and “Come Together” (season 13 finale). He co-wrote "Three Hearts", "Leipei", "Humbug", both ends of the "Matryoshka" two-parter, "Smokescreen" part two, "Searching", "A Fait Acompli" and "A Tale of Two Igors" (season 12 finale).

Directed by: Diana C. Valentine who directed "Lokhay", "Fallout", Three Hearts", "The 3rd Choir", "Forest for the Trees", "Beacon", "Unspoken", "Seoul Man", "Crazy Train", "Under Pressure”, "Better Angels" and “The Circle”. This is Valentine’s first episode with the series since season 11.

Guest stars of note: Bar Paly as Anastasia "Anna" Kolcheck and Duncan Campbell as NCIS Special Agent Castor are both back from “Come Together”. Gregory D. Gadson as Army Colonel Jackson Ladd, Sigrid Owen as Mila Curren, Regina Ting Chen as Navy Commander Cheng, Melanie Hawkins as Linsey Sandhagen, Lawrence J. Hughes as Emmett Sandhagen, Elester Lantham as Jerry, Dominic Zamprogna as Paul Figueiredo, Kaya Jackson as Sophia Sandhagen, Devin Looc as Ty Sandhagen, Matthew Law as Josh McCall, Alain Mora as Chito Aldana, Torshawn Roland as Jay and Glen Steele as Man.

Our heroes: Are oddly paired up in this episode.

What important things did we learn about: Callen: Wanted to be an architect when he was a kid. Sam: Taking Raymond to a specialist in Orange County. Kensi: Parent teacher meeting attendee. Deeks: Getting in required time at the range. Fatima: Likes the Lakers, especially Lakers games with her dad. Rountree: Running Ops like a boss. Kilbride: Searching for a friend.

What not so important things did we learn about: Callen: Misses Sam while teamed with Deeks. Sam: Absent. Kensi: Not a big sister to Fatima, certainly not a favorite aunt. Deeks: Writing essays and not doing calculus. Fatima: Using the entirely wrong skincare products according to her mom. Rountree: Arguing with Kilbride about college football. Kilbride: Arguing with Rountree about college football.

Where in the world is Henrietta Lange? Not a mention.

Who's down with OTP: Kensi and Deeks spent almost no time together in this hour. The chatted about Rosa to start the episode and grabbed a bite with Callen and Fatima to end the hour. Callen and Anna had a nice coffee run to start the day and some wine in the garden at the end.

Who's down with BrOTP: Forget the bros, Kensi and Fatima were sisters doing it for themselves. They had a lovely chat in the Kensi’s Audi, worked hand in glove to save the day.

Fashion review: Callen wore a blue/green/white plaid button down shirt. A white with thin black stripes henley for Kensi. A grey long-sleeve tee for Deeks. Fatima is wearing a white turtleneck under a royal blue sweatshirt. A denim jacket with a pink tee-shirt for Rountree. A blue three piece-suit with a white dress shirt and red tie for the Admiral.

Music: Lots. This is season one level of music usage. “Collect Your Things and Run” by Hot Water Music opens the episode in the teaser. “L’enfant roi” by Noir Desir plays as Kensi and Fatima are taking out the bad guys. “Blue on Black” by Kenny Wayne Shepherd is playing at the bar where Col. Ladd is drinking. “Good Things Come with Time” plays while Callen and Anna are having a moment at the end of the episode.

Any notable cut scene: Not today.

Quote: Col. Ladd: “When I was a junior officer, I was a door kicker. First one through every time. Every time. Then I moved to Intel, where I protected and led some of the toughest, most well-trained men on the planet. And you know what happened on Sunday? I'm walking into the store. Old lady runs ahead of me opens the door, looks at me with those eyes. Like I was less than. I was a damn super hero, Hollace. And now I got some old lady's pity.”

Anything else: A young guy is skateboarding down a street with a friend recording him. As they wrap out this shot, a delivery robot, Yum Inside, tries to pass them. They think about stealing the food inside when an older neighbor tells them to not to steal. Things get tense until a van comes barreling down the street. It runs over Yum Inside (RIP) with food and beverages going everywhere. A woman runs to the older man and the skateboard crew yelling “stop that van!”

Callen and Anna are walking home from a great coffee shop near their new home. She has a job interview with the Surfrider Foundation, an environmental group. Callen is bit surprised Anna is leaving law enforcement but remembers she made up a story about working in an area destroyed by fires when she was looking for Katya. They pass an older man gardening. Callen has a Pembrook flashback.

Updating Deeks by phone, Kensi is leaving a meeting with Rosa’s teachers, who are impressed with how well she is doing considering the turmoil she been through over the last six months. The teachers did notice that Deeks helped write one of her essays and that Rosa could use a math tutor. Deeks thinks they should be the people Rosa turns to when she has problems. Kensi agrees. She’s ordering a calculus text book and Deeks can start tutoring her immediately. For the sake of the economy, Deeks thinks they should hire a tutor.

Callen arrives to a nearly empty office. Fatima is there with news that Sam is taking his father to see a specialist in Orange County. She also mentions that Kilbride and Rountree are fighting over college football but she quickly tuned that out. Callen is surprised – Fatima said she was a sports fan. No, she’s a Lakers fan and a Lakers fan when she can go to a game with her dad. Callen asks about Fatima’s mother, who is doing well. So well, in fact, that she can focus her attention on all the things Fatima is doing wrong with her life. Starting with skincare. Callen finds this all interested so he’s joining them for the next family brunch. Rountree texts Fatima – he's in Ops and they have a case.

The case is the kidnapping of Linsey and Emmett Sandhagen from their Westwood home. The kidnapping was witnessed by their nanny, Mila Curren. The Sandhagens have two children – a boy and a girl - and are architects. Callen asks why NCIS is involved. Rountree explains that the Sandhagens specialize in designing secure facilities and are civilian DOD contractors working close with the Seabees. Callen details Kensi and Fatima to Port Hueneme to talk to the Seabees while he and Deeks will interview Mila Curren.

With Agent Castor, the Sandhagen children are playing a game in the interview room. Juice boxes for everyone. Curren is being interviewed in the boatshed’s main room. She was getting the kids ready for school when she heard Emmet yell. Three men with ski-masks were in the kitchen as she started down the stairs. Seeing the men, she ran back upstairs and put the kids in a secure safe room.

Deeks asks if the men went after the kids – they did not. Curren is confused since the house has a lot of pricy items, expensive pieces of art. The only thing the kidnappers wanted was the Sandhagens. Asked about any stress points in their lives, Curren is stunned – the Sandhagens are the nicest people. Everyone loves them. They took her on a family vacation with the kids to Hawaii. There were no money issues. Curren is upset for the children and Deeks looks worried too.

In Ops, the Admiral arrives, asking if Kensi and Fatima are at Port Hueneme yet. They are about 20-minutes out. He asks Rountree for information about a Col. Jackson Ladd. Rountree finds some info but it likely isn’t current. The address had Col. Ladd’s name removed from the utilities a while back. Rountree asks about Ladd. The Admiral calls Ladd the finest the man to ever serve in the Army in every conflict going back 25-years. In his last deployment, Ladd lost both legs in a door breech explosion. Ladd is struggling to figure out where he belongs in the world after being the best of the best and losing it all in an instant.

Driving to Port Hueneme, Fatima asks Kensi about “the whole parenting thing” – easier or harder than they thought it would be. Kensi says it isn’t easier or harder, just different. She was so worried about how Rosa would be emotionally after settling in with them but things are going really well.

Kensi asks about Fatima about Akhil. Fatima thinks they are solidly in the friend zone. Fatima isn’t sure what she wants. The last time she was dating, she was acting, partying, going out all night every night. After the accident, she changed everything about herself. Literally, everything except her family. Kensi thinks it is a good thing. Fatima agrees but New Fatima doesn’t know how to do relationships the way Old Fatima did. Kensi likes the New Fatima and is honored to consider her a friend. Fatima is happy since she admires Kensi. Kensi stops Fatima and tells her not to compare her to an older sister. Fatima wouldn’t, she thinks of Kensi more like a favorite aunt. That didn’t go well.

Exiting interrogation, Castor tells Callen and Deeks how much he likes the Sandhagen children. Callen thinks for their safety, Castor should take the kids and Curren to Seal Beach and have them guarded at the base. On the plasma, Rountree has the Sandhagens’s financials. No credit card debt, large savings and retirement accounts. There is a vacation home in Hawaii. Deeks thinks he and Kensi are just like the Sandhagens except for the vacation home, saving and retirement accounts and oh yeah, money.

Signing off with the boatshed, Rountree turns to a returning Admiral with questions about Ladd. Rountree hasn’t found any credit card or ATM activity in days. The Admiral wants LAPD to do a welfare check at Ladd’s home.

Finally at Port Hueneme, Kensi and Fatima meet with a Commander Cheng. Cheng supervises the work done by the Seabees. The Sandhagens were well-regarded by both the Seabees and the Navy staff. Kensi asks about what the Sandhagens did for the Navy. As soon as Kensi asks a question, Cheng stops and asks about the Sandhagen children. She is relieved to hear they are safe.

The Sandhagens are civilian contractors currently working with on three of the Navy’s top projects. Fatima explains that the SECNav has been in contact with Kilbride. The three projects all have enhanced security since the kidnapping. The three locations include a weapon depot at Camp Pendleton and an underground drone control base in the Mojave. The third location was the Sandhagens’s “masterpiece”. Kensi and Fatima were not briefed on that project and could only speak in person with Cheng about it.

The third location is a multiservice missile deterrence command and control center built directly into a mountain in a classified location. Cheng can’t share the location with Kensi or Fatima. The command center is responsible for over 300 missiles on US soil. If a hostile foreign government or terrorist get control of that location, they could “take out most of our domestic military operations with the ballistic missiles,” according to Cheng.

Back on the plasma, Rountree found a partner in the Sandhagens business. Paul Figueiredo has some money but it all pales in comparison to the Sandhagens fortune. And he has a ton of credit card debt. They are all equal partners in the firm. Deeks wonders if the Sandhagens are funneling company profits right into their accounts. Callen thinks they could be selling classified info to the highest bidder.

Paul Figueiredo is in the boatshed’s main room – Castor picked him up. He’s sick about what happened to the Sandhagens and will do whatever is needed to help. But first he asks about Ty and Sophia – the Sandhagen children. He’s also asking if Mila is with the kids. He’s relieved to hear they are all in a security location.

Callen asks about the business. Figueiredo owns a third, Linsey owns a third and Emmet owns a third. Looking at the Sandhagens’s financials and Figueiredo’s, Callen points out the difference. Figueiredo is a bit surprised he was being investigated but he has nothing to hide. He explains that while he is a partner in the military contracting business, the Sandhagens have a civilian business and he’s not a part of that.

It is Deeks’s turn to be surprised since there is no record of that business in any of the Sandhagens’s financials. That was intentional, according to Figueiredo. The business is held by a series of trusts so make sure nothing could be traced back to the family. The civilian jobs were safe rooms in houses and businesses, “bug out” cabins in the mountains. Wealthy people are willing to pay for safety.

Figueiredo was offered an equal share in that business but he wasn’t interested. Unlike the Sandhagens, he doesn’t live to work. Working allows him to camp, hunt, surf, do jujitsu – things he wants to do. Callen asks if he has any remorse about not joining with the Sandhagens when he saw the money coming in. He doesn’t because the Sandhagens worked 24/7/365 to get the business launched. And it was a huge accomplishment. While Figueiredo does not know who the Sandhagens’s private sector clients were, he knew all business was done from their home office.

Driving back from Port Hueneme, Kensi tells the Admiral they are about 40-minutes out. The Admiral is going to send Kensi and Fatima a list of the Sandhagens’s private clients. This makes more sense – anything the kidnappers could get from private clients would be a lot easier to sell than military items. The SECNav is still protecting the military projects.

Deeks is blown away by the Sandhagen home. Being an architect pays. Callen mentions wanting to be an architect as a kid. Deeks thought he’d like it too without the math and engineering. Near the door is a group of fun family photos of the Sandhagens – family events, skiing, bike riding, just living their happy lives. Deeks is horrified they were taken from their own home. Callen asks about Rosa. Deeks is in awe – Rosa fit in a like a champ though he’s pretty sure she’s really sick of him asking if there is anything she wants to talk about. “Well, I think we all are at this point,” Callen snarks.

Deeks asks about the engagement. Callen tells him that Anna is looking at life in Los Angeles without a career in law enforcement. Deeks is sorry that Anna wants out of law enforcement but understands better than anyone the downside of a “two badge family.” Deeks starts talking about future Callen-Anna kids but Callen is happy to have found the Sandhagen office.

With Rountree, Callen and Deeks get a list of the Sandhagen clients. The Admiral is now back in Ops. There are a lot of banks, stores and high net-worth individuals on the client list. Kensi-Fatima and Callen-Deeks are going to check clients near their locations, the FBI HRT will also help.

Rountree breaks the news to Kilbride that LAPD found nothing but some empty whiskey bottles and a lot of empty beer cans in Col. Ladd’s home. The Admiral is waiting for another bit of bad news but the empty bottles and cans were Rountree’s sad story. The Admiral is outraged. Long before meditation and mindfulness unleashed by Rountree’s generation, “many, many generations before you achieved the exact same result using a combination of whiskey and beer.” The Admiral storms out.

Kensi and Fatima checked out an armored truck depot and a fancy watch store. Next on their list is a Santa Monica bank, a place called Even Mavrik and a high-end cigar and wine place. Kensi wants to go back to Even Mavrik, which in Hebrew mean “brilliant stone.” They are diamond brokers.

As Callen and Deeks leave and Sandhagen home, Rountree calls. The client list was last downloaded a month ago. Callen thinks it could be for quarterly taxes but the Sandhagens were working on a project in Port Hueneme. Commander Cheng verified they were with her. Mila the Nanny becomes a suspect.

Castor brings Curren to the interrogation room. She notices it is a lot more cramp than the outside area where she was questioned earlier. Deeks want to clarify that Curren was working for the Sandhagens since she graduated from Harvey Mudd, one of the country’s top colleges for engineering. Curren explained that it took her a little longer to finish college because she didn’t have rich parents but she graduated with a computer science degree.

Deeks mentions the $230,000 in student loan debt. And while the Sandhagens pay well, with rent, cellphone bills, Wi-Fi costs and food, that doesn’t leave much for monthly student loan payments. But even with all money going out, Curren hasn’t missed a loan payment. She tries to explain that she’s worked hard but Deeks cuts her off. He knows it is hard to come up with spare cash like that every single month to buy a money order from the local 7-Eleven to pay for the monthly loan. Curren asks if that is a problem. It isn’t, Callen tells her, as long as she has records for the incoming cash. She sells clothes to Buffalo Exchange and they pay in cash. It’s not a problem for Deeks, he’ll just get the records from Buffalo Exchange.

Nervous, Curren explains that her parents were so excited when she got into Harvey Mudd. They just didn’t understand how much debt she’d wind up incurring by getting her degree. She actually makes more money as a nanny than she would working and using her degree. With a sick mother, Curren has to live in Los Angeles but it is impossible with the debt she has. Playing bad cop, Deeks wants to know who gave her the money. Good cop Callen knows that Curren doesn’t want to see the Sandhagens hurt and wants the kids to see their parents again.

Curren explains she met a man in a restaurant. He was so nice. She now owes him so much money there is no way to pay her back. The man wanted to rob a place the Sandhagens designed. She never thought they’d be kidnapped, she never thought anyone would get hurt. The man’s name is Josh McCall – Deeks is on the phone with Rountree trying to track McCall down.

Kensi and Fatima come up to the building – a very locked-up building - housing Even Mavrik. One of the vents has been removed. Kensi and Fatima go in.

Josh McCall, according to Rountree, has been in and out of the system his entire life. DUI, assault, grand theft auto to name a few of his crimes. LAPD RHD believes he is working with Chito Aldana, who runs a high-end heist crew. They robbed an art gallery in Beverly Hills recently. Callen and Deeks are going to check out McCall’s home.

Kensi and Fatima are checking out the insides of Even Mavrik. While they are looking around, Aldana is checking in with McCall. He wants to know what is taking so long. The diamond dealers locked themselves inside in their diamond vault. Since the Sandhagens built them, they can probably get into the vaults. Kensi and Fatima worry that once the Sandhagens get into the vault, they’ve outlived their usefulness. Kensi tries to call the office but there is no service. Without their cellphones or ability to use their guns (too much noise), Kensi and Fatima have to rescue the Sandhagens on their own.

Callen, Deeks and the tactical team go into McCall’s home. It’s empty. Deeks keeps talking and Callen misses Sam. Deeks finds some lottery tickets and is bothered that Callen misses Sam. He sends a photo of the tickets to Rountree.

The Admiral and Rountree are concerned that Kensi and Fatima are offline. Rountree goes back to when they last had cell service and found that McCall and Aldana have a scrambler. He has no idea where they are.

A guard is walking through Ever Mavrik when Fatima stun guns him. As she and Kensi hide his body, a co-criminal calls for the guard. Kensi puts him in choke hold. She drags him to the room with the guard. Taping both of the bad guys’ mouths closed, the women lock the men into a janitor’s closet.

Outside the vault, Kensi tells Fatima she sees the Sandhagens working on the vault. McCall starts yelling that Red and Bobby are gone. Kensi and Fatima hide while McCall and Aldana talk. Aldana thinks Red and Bobby ran but McCall has Red’s guard hat. It fell off during the struggle with Fatima. Aldana believes the facility has more real guards on duty. Aldana wants the guards found now. “You won’t leave this building alive.”

Rountree traced the lottery tickets to a gas station outside of Ever Mavrik. Callen and Deeks are on their way. Deeks asks if Kensi and Fatima are on their way. Rountree mentions they are missing and Deeks is not pleased. “Find them.”

As the Sandhagens manually drill through the vault, Aldana is getting impatient. When Emmett tells Aldana it will take as long as it takes, that gets Emmett a gun pointed at his chin. Fatima wants to go in but Kensi stops her – Aldana needs the Sandhagens. McCall returns with an extra goon. Extra goon is going to stay with the Sandhagens, Aldana and McCall are going to search the building. Kensi is going to distract Aldana and McCall while Fatima works to rescue to the Sandhagens.

Kensi breaks some glass on the first floor so Aldana and McCall are on the move.

Deeks tells Rountree he and Callen are five minutes out. When he asks about Kensi, Rountree doesn’t haven an answer.

Aldana finds a door ajar. Opening the door, he finds Red and Bobby. Kensi finds a pipe and whacks Aldana in the head. He joins Red and Bobby in the unexpected nap room.

While the Sandhagens are working, the goon hears some noise from a printer room. He find a copy machine making hundreds of copies of a smiley face. Fatima comes up from behind him and starts beating him with her baton. Several kicks to the head later, the goon is out cold on the ground.

On the first floor, McCall gets several shots off at Kensi. The two have a good old fashion fight. He tosses her around, she does the same. She gets him into a sleeper hold and the Rock would be proud as how quickly he went down.

Fatima gets the diamond brokers out of the vault. The Sandhagens are assured their children are safe. They are incredibly grateful.

LAPD is taking the bad guys away. The Sandhagens are facetiming with their kids, who are happy Agent Castor got them ice cream. LAPD is bringing them home.

The team recap the case. Fatima is thirsty. Deeks knows about a Cuban place nearby. Kensi is hungry and Callen is paying.

At a bar, Col. Ladd is drinking alone. The Admiral joins him, wondering why Ladd “no-showed” a job interview. Ladd is grateful for what the Admiral and “the guys” are trying to do for him but he’d rather “do a deep dive with a weight belt and no tank” than do phone sales in a cubicle. The Admiral admits the job wasn’t the best match for Ladd. Ladd explains that he was a door kicker as a junior officer – the first one in every time he was sent out on a mission. When he moved to Intel, he led the toughest, best trained soldiers in the world. On Sunday, he was going to the supermarket and an old lady ran to help him at the front door. He felt that she saw him as “less than”.

The Admiral agrees that Ladd was never meant for the private sector. Ladd was a soldier, always was, always will be. Getting him a job with people who don’t understand that was a mistake. And if Ladd puts his drink down, the Admiral will get him a job fit for a soldier. Ladd doesn’t want charity. This isn’t charity. Kilbride won’t be holding the door open for Ladd. The Admiral leaves. Ladd stands up with the help of a cane.

Callen and Anna are hanging out in their garden, sipping wine. Anna got the job but didn’t take it. She would be in the office all day and it wasn’t what she was trained for. Instead, she looking at a company that specializes in finding kidnapped children. She isn’t sure that what she wants either. Anna turns the conversation to Callen. She knows he thought he saw Pembrook earlier that day. He says he did. She understands that he needs to track Pembrook down. “But,” Callen says. So much had to go right for the two of them to wind up together, maybe they should just enjoy the good.

What head canon can be formed from here: The Kensi-Fatima scene during the ride up to Port Hueneme was terrific. The program did a great job over the year with the Kensi-Nell friendship and there, they were planting the seeds for a Kensi-Fatima friendship.

The Admiral’s whiskey and beer rant looked like it had Caleb Castille laughing just a bit.

Col. Ladd was a character this program needed years ago. In seasons one and two, Daniel Hugh Kelly popped up as an unnamed military person who knew things. The program needed that type of character. Kilbride was that character for a while until Nell decided running off with Eric was more fun than running the team.

Finally, this episode had a Covid season feel. Everyone was siloed with another team member and basically worked that that member only. Yes, Callen had a chat with Fatima but that was in a perfectly empty office. There was a short scene with most of the team (save Kensi) in Ops and the meet-up at the end. Not a bad episode but I like the team when they work together.

Episode number: Season 14, episode two. This is 304 overall.

obikonan for the otp ask

I've been thinking about them nonstop - they're one of my absolute favorites after ObiRin, thank you for asking this!! <333

ObiKonan (Obito x Konan):

1. Who most initiates PDA?

Obito initiates the most PDA. Usually he tends to turn up the heat between them with his hand on her waist, hip, or even tease her neck or the shell of her ear when he stands too close to her. He's the type that likes others to know that Konan belongs to him.

2. Any sleep habits either had to get used to?

Obito is a light sleeper, and Konan sometimes shifts around in her sleep, so Obito had to get used to her light, involuntary nudges.

3. Jealousy issues?

Definitely OBITO. He is jealous of her close bond with Nagato, and jealous of her irreplaceable love for Yahiko, but that's usually when his emotions cloud his senses since he does have an irreplaceable love for Rin.

4. What’s a Night Out for them?

Drinking together on the rooftop underneath a clear, night sky. They would leave Ame just to be away from the continuous rainfall, and spend time in a place where the weather is always clear. They would buy the most expensive sake brand and share it together, but they try their best to not get tipsy so that they could head back together.

5. What’s an evening in for them?

A hot bath together. Nothing better than having a private moment alone, where they both have a nice, long hot bath as they casually talk.

6. Double Date? Thoughts? Who?

No one. They love being alone together. They love their privacy. Being alone without needing to put up faces and just drowning in each other is what they want in their relationship.

7. Do they want (have) kids?

No, they wouldn't want to have children. The last thing they want is to bring a child into a world they both abhor.

8. Have an AU thought?

Personally, I'd like to talk about them in my Genshin AU. XD However, I have a modern AU idea in mind that I wish to turn into a fanfiction one day! :)

In my Genshin AU, Konan is fully supportive of Obito after Yahiko's death, and the two of them would have some flirty banters here and there, and they look out for each other in an unspoken way. They don't hate each other in this AU, but they tend to reminisce about Yahiko, and Obito tends to reassure her that no matter what, she won't have to ever feel so alone.

9. If they got engaged… who proposed?

Obito proposed, and he'd propose to her in the middle of a fight in fact. Konan would question why he's been so distant lately (when it was Obito trying to prepare himself to pop the question), and then they get into their witty argument before he screams it at her face. XD

10. How do they deal with the other’s family?

Konan is graceful and elegant. Silent when she needs to be, and she has a noble demeanor. She lets out her wit at the right time, and she lets it be known that she is not some casual woman to be underestimated. The Uchiha will easily show respect for her because of how classy she is.

11. What is their love language?

Sex and sentiment. That's how they started out, and that's how it continues. Sentiment as in, leaving little things on their table or bedside that reminds them of the other. Could be a little flower, or an extravagant gift. Their bodies would do all the talking.

12. How Are there communication skills?

It ranges from flirtatious banters to stubborn arguments, to deep talks and mutual understanding and they always, always gesture with touches.

13. A little personal… but… Hot and Steamy or Soft and Tender?

Absolutely fucking hot and steamy. They always NEED each other.

14. How did they first meet?

We all know how they met here - Akatsuki, yada yada..

15. Why do they like each other?

Konan's genuine and elegant personality, and the beauty of Obito that reflects from being a broken man. They both have a mutual understanding about heartbreak from losing the person they loved the most.

16. Who cooks most?

Konan! She makes really good stews and warm food.

17. Morning rituals?

Showering together - well, making out in the shower before getting ready for the day.

18. Evening rituals?

Green tea and evening strolls.

19. How are they at parties or gatherings?

Heads would turn to them because of how classy they both look, but that's when Obito's possessiveness would emerge as he throws his jacket over her shoulders or keeps his arm around her waist.

20. Most cuddly?

Both! Always in the dark, they love to hold each other closely because that's how their minds shut down, and it's only the two of them.

21. Movie Night?

Old movies so that they could just forget about it and fuck on the couch.

22. Who is the photo bug?

Konan loves to appreciate beauty, so she would take the most photos, but neither of them are extreme about it.

23. How well do they know each other’s favorite foods?

Given that the two of them have been dancing around one another before getting together, they are both observant about each other, down to the finest detail. So they know each other all too well.

24. What do their texts look like?

Flirting and mild sexting.

25. Parenting style?

Considering that both Obito and Konan are orphans, they would never want their child to ever lack in their emotional needs. Their child would have the most loving and affectionate parents - to the point where the bond between them and their child is the strongest. (See the headcanon about ObiKonan's child in the tag called "Under the Influence").

26. If they have kids, who named them? What would they name them?

Obito would let Konan do the honors of naming their first child. If they were to have a son, for sentimental reasons they would probably name the child Yahiko or some other strong name - If it were a girl, then the name would be Hana, which means flower.

27. Who brings home an illegal pet?

Neither. They're both too levelheaded.

28. Who takes the longest getting ready to leave?

Konan, thanks to her need to apply make-up and taking her sweet time to look as pretty as ever.

29. Who said I Love You, first?

Obito, again, in the heat of an argument, he said those three words which technically shocked them both, and then Konan said it back and they had the best make up sex ever since.

30. When did they realize they loved each other?

When they realized how much pushing each other way was torturing them and acknowledging that they just strongly wanted and needed each other. Their presence was the reassurance that fought their demons, and they were the only ones that understood each other the most and no one else can take their place.
