Ooh, I think I missed your fic for The Killing while dodging spoilers! If you'd care to write it again, how about: Linden (& or /) Holder, in a booth at some greasy spoon at, like, 3:30 in the morning.
About 20 minutes after this comment, netflix sent me an email saying it had added S3, so mainlining it is one of the major things I've done with my weekend! Without moving into spoiler territory, the ending is a little more abrupt than I'd ideally have liked, but I think it's definitely worth seeing.
I loved a lot of things about it: Bullet (and Holder with Bullet! You warned me, but I was still unprepared!) and the ways the cast of runaways slot into the spaces that were filled by the Larsens; I'm not certain if the Seward arc is objectively good or just finely calibrated to press my buttons or a little of both, but either way is fine by me. The main draw of the series for me - and I think for you too? - has been Linden and Holder and the Linden-Holder partnership, and there are a lot of great character- and relationship-moments for them.
Oh that's good news! Now I will definitely watch the last few episodes.
But yeah, the parts I saw, I thought Bullet and the other runaways were really well done. I couldn't get that into the Seward arc, especially the home life of the guards, but it was also well done. Buy you're right--the Linden-Holder partnership was the biggest draw for me--I like the way S3 tweaked it with a more confident Holder.
