((OMG Titanic episode feeeeeeeelings))

I wish I was farther in the series so I could bullshit my way through this one. D: Anything major I should know or could I just be vague and get away with things?

Grimm, Rosalee + Julliet, talking over tea

She doesn't regret not having a normal life, not really.

...You have probably managed to out death!fic me on the Rachel front, which is really impressive because internal Rachel family strife was mostly *all* I wrote for a while lol. *bows to your prowess*

She sees her little sisters acting as though they are scared to pass by her room and cringes when they shatter pictures of her. They're angry at her for leaving them. She understands that anger, having felt it once before herself at a loss loved one, but she wishes they could understand why she's gone.

She wishes they could know what she knows, recognize the Earth for the battlefield it has become, but at the same time, Rachel still yearns to protect them and save their innocence. She wants them to be able to grow up without the fears that she experienced, to have no other thoughts plaguing them when they thrill in their first kisses and their promises. She wants them to be able to have the normal life she never did.

She doesn't regret not having a normal life, not really. A large chunk of her childhood was spent helping her mother take care of her sisters, and she wouldn't trade that for anything. She remembers every hug and bedtime story, each time she brushed their hair, with more fondness now in her afterlife than she ever did while still living.

Additionally, you have hit every Rachel+Jordan+Sara feeling I've ever had in these sentences perfectly. (In my head-canon Jordan is exactly the type of Rachel-esq helpless bottled up rage that she doesn't know what to deal with that you start out with here. Argh - so spot on.)

She'll see them all again, Rachel knows, but when she's reunited with Tobias, she'll do like they did in the old romantic movies at which she always used to roll her eyes. She'll run to him, throw her arms around him, and kiss him like there's no tomorrow for there really isn't any tomorrow now. There's only eternity.

Oh, my first fandom OTP. Forever so tragically messed up and so perfect for them at the same time. hell out of this fic. ♥ ♥ ♥ Mind if I pimp this out/link back to it on my journal?

"I'll tell them," Cassie swears. "One day, Rachel, I'll tell them the truth. I'll tell them what you'd want to say." And then, startlingly, they say the words together, "Forgive me. I did it for you."

See, this exactly is why the musical Wicked's 'For Good' song will forever be a Rachel+Cassie song in my head - even after the events in book 19, them growing apart, and the entire reason Rachel ends up needing to go after Tom is because that Cassie gave him the Blue Box. Just argh.

Have you been rummaging around in my head? ;)

*offers carrots to any and all plot bunnies you may have*

Because of my vowed week of 'No angsty Ani-prompts!' Get in on that while the going's good, I'll probably slip back to my former inspired by KAA ways next week lol. ;)

You will note there are SIX dolphins in this icon. I did not snag it because of this reason AT ALL or anything.

Potential fill?

[natural-blue-26.livejournal.com]

Did you mean this as some kind of Ellen/Jo-esq type cross fandom thing? Or did you want a more canon compliant take on the prompt?

Strange Days, Lornette "Mace" Mason, this Cinderella came to the ball with a weapon close at hand

Fill (G)

She's been the best secretary in the tri-state area now for years, but she's never had to work like she does here. Working for the Ghostbusters is like taking care of teenagers. She keeps their refrigerator stocked, cleans their uniforms, keeps their business running smoothly, or at least as smoothly as a business that fights the paranormal can run, and forces payments out of deadbeat customers who think they can get away without paying now that the ghosts are gone. Of course, getting those payments usually isn't too hard once she starts threatening to release them from the containment unit, but the boys don't need to know that. There was even one time when the team was sick and she took care of all four of them while scrubbing the bathrooms behind them.

That episode made her break all ten nails. She doesn't remember getting a "thank you" from them then, and she hasn't gotten one since. She's been possessed, slimed, and had her life threatened on an almost daily basis since coming to work at this place, but most of the time, she can tell herself that it's all worth it to be a part of this grand adventure while helping the only heroes their realm has left to save the world.

But, today, is the last straw. She's had enough. She's going to walk out. There haven't been any ghosts yet to bother or scare her; not even Slimer has shown up. She'd almost welcome him; at least, he always comes with a hug.

There are tears in her eyes as she snatches her purse up and starts to turn from her desk, her desk that is sadly empty and void of any card, flowers, cake, or other signs of gratitude. It's supposed to be her day, National Secretary Appreciation Day, and there's no one here to tell her "thank you" for all she does.

Not that they would any way, she thinks sniffing. They're as thankful as teenagers, and teenagers never thank their parents. She looks up, suddenly, as she hears Ecto wailing. They'd already been out on a call, evidently, which was why no one had been present to greet her when she'd arrived. That didn't excuse them from not having left some sign of thanks on her desk, however.

She frowns as she realizes that the siren's still blazing. It only hushes when Ecto flies in to the firehouse. Four doors pop open, and the Ghostbusters and Slimer rush out. Slimer reaches her first an slimes her before she can move, hugging her tightly and kissing her numerous times. Janine starts screeching her complaints, but they die in her throat as she sees the men standing behind the yucky ghost and each looking more sheepish than the last.

Always the ladies' man, Vankman moves in first. He presses a big box of chocolates into her hands and then kisses the one spot left unmarked by Slimer on her cheek. Winston shyly hands her a piece of paper; her smile grows in surprise when she reads the free work he's promising her on her car for the next year. Ray brings more sweets in the form of a big box of doughnuts and a bigger hug.

Then, there's Egon, who's as bashful as ever. "Janine," he starts mumbling, pushing his glasses back up on his nose as he blushes red, "I-I didn't know what to . . . to get you . . . "

"Oh, just go ahead and give it to her, you big lug!" Peter pushes Egon, and what happens next is something Janine has dreamed of ever since meeting the scientist.

He falls face forward. She reaches up instinctively to help him keep from falling, and her arms go around him. His mouth lands on hers, and although he quickly pulls himself away, his handsome face redder than any apple, Janine knows there's nowhere else she's ever going to want to be than right here with these four wonderful men who will never grow up or stop chasing the monsters in which the world refuses to believe but they know are real.

She's smiling bigger than she's ever smiled when the gang shouts, "THANK YOU, JANINE!"
