fic: i used to carry the gun (prime suspect)

[falseeeyelashes]

i used to carry the gun

prime suspect. two weeks out, both augie and jane pack their bags. lou/augie, jane/reg. 3755 words.

notes: lol what is this. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT. idk, the latest episode of prime suspect left me in desperate need for some a) lou/augie being the married couple that they basically are, and b) um

Prime Suspect fic!!! I have never seen any before this, but clearly I need to do more digging.

This was pretty fucking amazing. You managed to combine both my OTPs and their entirely contradictory dynamics perfectly. Love! Thank you!

It's slim pickings out there for Prime Suspect fic! haha

But thank you! I am so glad to hear not only that you enjoy the fic, but that there are others who watch -- and ship these two pairs! -- this show!

MICHELLE. SO. I'M A LITTLE DRUNK RN BECAUSE, IT'S CHRISTMAS! AND I MSUST BE BUT

GIRL

THIS IS LIKE, THE BEST. like i just love evvvverything. i love all the lou/augie stuff, that it's so easy and and theyr'e already in that domestic rhythm but it's taken augie til now to just recognise it for what it is and just, augh makeouts while lou is loading the dishwasher and how quiet and relieved it is just, ALL THE FEELS. and then the slide from augie and lou to reg and jane fucking (be still my heart) was just GR8. i adore the way you write these people because it just slots in to everything i think about the show and these people (and what lou is totally divorced WILL ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUE FACTS) and just THIS IS THE BEST

(oh god so i think i got all my typos but jesus that took too long.)

YOU SHOULD BE DRUNK! IT IS CHRISTMAS!!!!!

And THANK YOU, GIRL!!!!! Ugh, I am so glad you liked this! I totally see Augie has being a) totally in love with Lou, and b) kinda dense as to the fact that this is a thing that is happening. And afk;'akfa'adk';ad'a JANE AND REG! I basically need all the hate!sex I can get my hands on when it comes to these two (or all the AUs imaginable L O L ) (I GET OVERWHELMED WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOUR THE-TOWN!AU HAHAHA).

OH GOD MICHELLE I WAS WASTED WHEN I WROTE THAT COMMENT. Sadly sobered up now but I am pretty impressed at the (mostly) lack of typos.

I just loved that Lou has clearly come to terms with this ages ago, he's not at all concerned, he's just waiting for Augie to catch up and that in and of itself is THE BEST. But JANE AND REG, JANE AND REG MAN. Just fuck it out guys, we'd all love for you to do that. (OH GOD IN HEAVEN THAT THING IS SPIRALLING OUT OF CONTROL)

[falseeeyelashes]

HAHAHAHA LOVE IT, MAN. LOVE IT. And the lack of typos truly is impressive, man haha.

And yes! That is totally how I see Lou! Like Lou gets it and just accepts it and it's like Augie is just catching on to something Lou has known for a real long time haha. AND AHHHH JANE AND REG! REG AND JANE! I am still not over the last episode, ok. I feel like I am going to need all the fic ever because I am just so fascinated by all the implications that REG TOLD MATT ABOUT COSTELLO LOL. Ugh kill me.

And ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh SO EXCITE RE: THE TOWN. LOVE THAT IT'S SPIRALING HAHAHA.

I keep opening this tab and then inevitably getting distracted, which is hilarious considering I devoured this fic roughly fifteen minutes after it was posted and then recced it out to people shortly thereafter.

But. Two pairings that have eaten my brain in one fic? Pretty much the best damn thing ever. And, also, your dialogue and your strange ability to get into the heads of characters we've only known for eleven episodes is kind of mind-blowing.

Please never stop writing fic for this show. I keep seeing you talk about the mob!AU on Tumblr and if I had a nickel for every time I made metaphorical grabby hands at the screen I would have a very large mountain of shiny coins. You are so good and that will be so good and this was SO GOOD.
