“It’s like you kicked a big hole in the side of my life.” things even would say if they met the doctor After-
#askfjglsjkf its. coalescing. im putting the pieces together of where their story goes.#and one solid piece is that. the doctor is their best friend in the whole wide world. and they kind of hate him for that.#because without him. what would they know about friends. or the universe beyond their ship.#he blew a hole in their life and gave them the best gift anyone possibly could and. if they could look at the whole of their life.#if they could see all of it at once. they would be happier that he did. despite everything.#but people can’t do that. they’re fresh out of the worst experience anyone could have. and they never would have been in that situation if#not for him. (and worse - might never have been freed again. if not for him. it stings to be saved twice when you’re regretting the first#time.)#and so they blame him for it. (it was their own fault. their own choice to run rather than face the consequences of their actions - however#well-intentioned.) (but at the same time. where’d they pick that skill up from huh?)#and they hate him for it too. a little. a lot. it varies.#and they still have the watch. the one they can never return to its rightful owner anymore. and they still have the beads of their#friendship bracelet - the bracelet itself long since broken. it was. after all. authentically cheap.#and he was their best friend. and they love him. and they hate him. and it probably doesn’t help that they’ve spent the past however long#being influenced by someone who had an investment in fucking up their remaining attachment to the doctor.#god i wish this show would stop making me ramble about my silly oc just because i hears a single line aksjfkjfls#or not. never stop doctor who my beloved.#dw oc#dw#dw lb#dw 8x07

Born and raised in Boston. His father was a bookie and fixer for several mob families.
He is Catholic. When he was younger he wanted to become a priest. He went to seminary school but left before he finished.
Formerly an insurance investigator for IYS insurance. He recovered stolen items, and was one of the company's top guys, saving the company millions of dollars. Was well known in the criminal world.
His son Sam became sick (it’s never said what he had, only that it was “stage four” when discovered). IYS refused to pay for his medical treatment claiming it was “experimental”. Sam died when he was eight, in the hospital, his parents with him. (Nate still has trouble being in hospitals since)
After his sons death Nates life fell apart. He lost his job, he became and alcoholic, and his wife Maggie divorced him.
A few years later he is recruited to lead a team of thieves. After being double crossed, the team decided to con the guy who hired him. Nate recruited Sophie to join the team.
Nate and Sophie knew each other from his insurance days. He chased her across several countries. While they never had an affair while he was married, they both clearly had feelings for each other.
Nate plans the cons and leads the team. He convinced the group of thieves to steal from the corrupt rich and give it back to the people it was originally taken from.
Nate continues to suffer from alcoholism throughout the series.
For a while he continued to say that he was not a thief, he just worked with them. He refused to see himself as a criminal. It wasn’t until after a few years of working with the team, when he allowed himself to get arrested to they could get away, that he admited to himself that he was in fact a thief.

Sophie Devereaux - the Grifter
Not much is known about Sophie's past, other than she has several secrets in London which is where she began her criminal career. She has gone by several aliases.
Sophie is not her real name. Her real name is never revealed in the show and is one of the shows biggest secrets, as she kept it secret even from Nate.
She is an aspiring actress, but she is horrible at acting - when it’s acting on a stage or for film. When she is grifting she is able to convincingly play a variety of characters of seemingly any background/ career / or nationality. As Nate puts it: “Sohpie Devereaux is the best actress you’ve ever seen...when she’s breaking the law.”
She and Nate met ten years before the events of the show. They have a seemingly romantic relationship, both aware of each others feelings. However they don’t act on them for various reasons - first because Nate was married, and then later because Natein an unhealthy mindset. They have a ‘will they, won’t they’ things throught the series.
She is considered one of the best grifters in the world. At one point before the series, she stole the Second David from the Vatican.

Eliot Spencer - the Hitter
United States Black Ops soldier turned retrieval specialist.
His father ran a “hole in the wall” hardware store and wanted him to take it over. Eliot had other ideas and joined the service at 18.
In high school he dated a girl named Aimee, who he later said was the closest he ever got to settling down. He gave her a promise ring. It seemed like the thought she would wait for him when he left for the army, but she couldn’t
Not much is known about his time in the military or his retrieval work after.
Highly skilled in multiple areas. Some of the fighting styles he is shown to use are: boxing, muay thai, jujitsu, krav maga, kickboxing, eskrima, panantukan, kenpo karate, and aikido. He’s a fixer, and can play the “inside man”. He is a weapons expert. A skilled swordsman, and marksman - however he does like guns. He’s familiar with hostage negotiations.
Doesn’t like guns. Won’t use them if he doesn’t have to. Fights hand to hand, or with knives.
He’s a gourmet chef, as well as a singer and guitar player. He’s a flirt. Can ride a horse. He’s very protective of kids. And doesn’t like hitting cops.
The creator of the show originally intended for him to be cousins with Shawn Spencer from Psych. However this idea had to be scraped. But I say it’s true.

Parker - the Thief
She was put into the foster system when she was very young. Bounced around from foster home to foster home, most of which were abusive in some way. In one foster home, her foster father took her stuffed rabbit and told her she had to become a better thief to get it back. She stole it back and blew up the house.
At some point when she was very young, she taught her younger brother. Nick, to ride a bike. Later, while riding the bike, he was hit and killed by a car. She blamed herself and never told anyone.
Before she was 12, she was a getaway driver. Sometime after, she met a boy in foster care named Kelly, he taught her how to boost cars.They worked together as a team until they boosted a bait car. He escaped the police, leaving Parker to serve 6 months in juvie.
In 1998, Archie Leach, a master thief, caught her attempting to steal his wallet. He saw her potential and decided to train her as his apprentice, becoming a mentor and surrogate father as he trained her to be the greatest thief in the world. He never brought her home to his family though, telling Nate that she would have never fit in with a real family.
A few notable achievements are: she performed a heist of the French National Bank. Stole "the Caravaggio", in Paris, in 2003. At one point during the show, she stole the Hope Diamond only to put it back, because she was bored.
She was wanted in nine countries, including Brazil and Yemen
Parker is a gifted thief, deft at security circumvention and picking both locks and pockets. She has incredible gymnastics skills, flipping and weaving her way through laser grids with ease. She's also a formidable opponent in hand-to-hand combat due to her excellent upper body strength and acrobatics. She displays a very high level of spatial intelligence.
She has poor social skills, and different emotional responses. She can appear to lack visible empathy or other people, and has a hard time recognizing emotions.
While it is never said in the show, the creators have confirmed that Parker is autistic.
Known languages: english, spanish, and possibly french.

Life Changes~MrBeast
Request: Could you write about the reader being someone who got one of the golden tickets, and jimmy coming to your house to deliver your package. And jimmy is like “wow your super cute” and get all blushy and has a hard time speaking I’m sorry this took a while to write. I added a little more to the story because my brain was taking me this route for the imagine.  I hope you enjoy this imagine and as always if you have any feedback, suggestions, or ideas let me know :).
Your little brother’s birthday was coming up soon and he was a huge MrBeast fan so you decided being the great big sister that you were to get him some MrBeast merch. When your brother would come over to your small apartment, you both always watch MrBeast’s videos. At first you just watched him because your brother enjoyed him but you soon began watching for your own personal enjoyment. You even developed a small crush on Jimmy, he was so generous and kind and that's what really made you attracted to him not to mention that he was cute. Today was the day that the merch was supposed to come in and so you were not planning on going anywhere until the package came because the people in your apartment complex were known for stealing packages. You decided to use today to clean your apartment since it was kinda a mess. You put on a simple black tank top and some jean shorts and pulled your hair back out of your face. You put on some music on your speaker and began picking up all the trash and gathering it together. Once you did that, you began sweeping your floors and vacuuming your carpet. You then began to wipe down the counters when your doorbell rang. You were not planning on anyone coming by so you assumed it was just the mailman letting you know that he had dropped of your package. You paused your music and placed your rag on the counter and walked over to the door and opened it. Who you found at your front door was not who you expected. You were taken back at the fact that Jimmy was standing at your front door with your package in his hands and his crew behind him filing you. You were at a lost for words as you couldn’t believe they were standing at your front door.
“I’m very confused. Why are you all here right now? And how did you get my address?” You asked tucking the stray pieces of your hair behind your ears.
Jimmy’s POV We had found the next person who had gotten the golden ticket and decided to hand deliver their package and buy the ticket back. The person lived near our area so it was not a long drive to get to their place. We had gotten the address from the package and began the drive to their place. When we pulled up to the apartment complex and walked up to the door I was prepared to meet this person. What I didn’t know was the person who opened the door would leave me completely speechless. She was extremely beautiful, I felt my heart pound in my chest as I saw her. I’ve never felt this way about a woman before. She looked very confused as we were standing on her doorstep.
“I’m very confused. Why are you all here right now? And how did you get my address?” She asked
“You were a winner of the golden ticket and so we used your address from your package and decided to bring you the package and pay to  get our golden ticket back.” I said trying to keep my emotions under control.
“Well come on in. My name is (Y/n) if you didn't know that from my package. I just cleaned thankfully. My brother would die right now. He’s a big fan of you guys. Actually that merch is his. I bought it for him for his birthday today.” She said laughing slightly. Damn her laugh was adorable. I walked in being careful not to touch anything. She had a small cozy apartment. She offered us water which we gladly accepted.
Your POV: You gave them some water and let them sit down on your couch.You were surprised that this was happening right now.
“Your brother, does he live nearby?” Jimmy asked looking at you. His eyes were even more beautiful in real life.
“Yes, he lives with my mother about 25 minutes away. He’s 10 and has been a big fan of you guys for a while. He even got me into you guy’s videos.” You said.
“Do you think we could possibly go surprise your brother with his package today?” Jimmy asked, licking his lips slightly.
“Sure! His birthday party actually is today. It would be awesome if we could surprise him.” You said
“Okay let’s go.” Jimmy said.
“Wait let me change real quick.” You said and ran back to your room and changed real quick into a yellow sundress and some brown sandals since it was a warm day outside. You grabbed a jacket and your phone and walked back out into your living room to where Jimmy currently was.
“Okay. I'm ready.” You said.
“Wow you’re beautiful.” Jimmy said and that made you turn extremely red.
“Thank you.” You said blushing and walked out of your apartment and locking it behind you. You all got in the uber and you gave the Uber your mother’s address. On the way their you kept thinking about what Jimmy had told you. You had never really gotten any complements before. Guys normally tended to stay away from you. Jimmy really was a sweetheart in person
Jimmy’s POV “Wow you’re beautiful.” I said. I immediately felt embarrassed. I thought I had said that in my head but it turns out that I had said it out loud. She turned extremely pink. Well done Jimmy. You just met this girl and you’re already being awkward . We all left her apartment and got into the uber. There was just something about (Y/n), I never really believed in love or was looking for it. She has made me see in just the hour that we’ve been together that there is more in life than just YouTube. I am willing to be in a relationship with her if she felt the same way.
Your Pov The Uber pulled up into the driveway and you decided to get out first and go knock on the door. Your brother answered the door and he was decked out in Fortnite apparel for his Fortnite themed birthday party. You gave him a hug.
“(Y/N/N) you made it to my party!” Your brother said as you hugged him.
“I wouldn’t miss it for the world Buddy. Hey I brought you some very special guest for your birthday. They kind of just showed up at my house.” You said and motioned at the car for the guys to come out. One by one they all stepped out of the Uber and began walking up to you.
“(Y/n) you got MrBeast to come to my birthday party! You really are the best big sister ever.” He said and hugged you tightly before running over and introducing himself to the guys. He looked so happy it almost brought you to tears. Your mother walked up to you and gave you a hug.
“Okay guys come on in.” You said as you let the door open for them to come in. You walked up to our mother and helped her out with cooking and setting things up. Some of Buddy’s friends were in the backyard and the freaked out to when the one and only MrBeast ended up in the backyard. You got distracted and stared at the scene before you. Jimmy was so kind. He stopped whatever he was doing for the rest of the day to just come hang out with your brother. Something about him made your heart feel full.
“You are in love, aren't you sweetie?” Your mother said coming and placing a hand on your back. You were caught off guard and turned pink.
“No momma. I just met him. I can’t possibly be in love.” You said but knew you were lying. You were in love and it was strange because you had just met him earlier this morning but you feel like he is just an old friend that you met up with again.
“You definitely are in love (Y/n), I see it in both of your eyes.” She said and went back to cooking. Your little brother then came running in.
“(Y/n/n),(Y/n/n) come play Nerf guns with us.” He said dragging you outside. You chuckled slightly at your brother and grabbed a Nerf gun.
“(Y/n) you’re on MrBeast’s team.” My brother told you and pushed you towards Jimmy. You almost tripped but Jimmy caught you. You were blushing slightly.
“Thanks Jimmy.” You said as you went and hid in the play house that was in your backyard. You were a little too big for it but it worked as a hiding spot where it wasn’t too hard for your brother but not too easy. You began shooting the little kid that kept staying near you. You finally got out of your hiding hole and your little brother sniped you right in the head.  You began dramatically falling to the ground.
“I’ve been killed by my own brother *fake gasp* Avenge me MrBeast.” You said as Jimmy was nearby. You laughed as your brother and Jimmy had a shoot off. Your brother ended up winning because you knew all too well that Jimmy had let him win. Jimmy walked over and helped you get up off the ground. You thanked him and then went inside and ate birthday cake and all kind of delicious food. You saw how happy your brother was and that made you extremely happy. When it was time to do gifts, you were excited to give your brother his gift.
When he opened his package, he was so happy. He put the hoodie on immediately.
“I love it (y/n/n). Thank you so much.” He said and hugged you tightly.
“Hey Buddy, Check your pocket real quick.” Chris said and Buddy checked his pocket and out came the golden ticket. Buddy’s face blew up in excitement as he held the golden ticket. He knew exactly what it was for.
“So Buddy do you think $2,000 in enough for the ticket?” Jimmy said as he pulled the cash out of his pocket. Your brother shook his head and handed Jimmy back the golden ticket in exchange for the money. Jimmy handed the money to Buddy who handed it to my mother. You were smiling. You were positive that Buddy had the best party ever. The party began to end as it got very late and so you called an uber to get back to your apartment. Jimmy hitched along instead of taking another uber back to his place to make sure you got home safely. As the Uber dropped you off at your apartment, Jimmy walked you up to the door. He grabbed your phone and put his number in it.
“Thank you so much for today Jimmy. You took the time out of your day to make my brother’s day. You are honestly a sweetheart.” You said and kissed him on the cheek.
“No problem (Y/n), you showed me something important today. And by the way you missed.” He said and kissed you softly on the lips. You kissed back and wrapped your arms around his neck.
“What did I teach you Jimmy?” You said as you pulled away.
“You taught me how to love, will you be my girlfriend?” He asked.
“Of Course I will Jimmy.” You said and kissed him one more time before waving him goodbye.

So...I got this review on ff-net for "Longing" this morning. Usually I love reviews because they give me encouragement...this ain't one of them, though.
If you don't want to read through it, in summary...
"Great story, but it seems like you hate men and the direction of society. Why isn't Dean just the bland fella presented in the show? Why is he violent and a cheating asshole who's rich; that's Logan y'know? Love the story as I said and Madeline and Louise are great, but I'm done with it."
Yeah, a lot to unpack here if you're not in the GG fandom like I've been since near the beginning, along with the basic concept of fanfiction.
"It's a well-written story with good characterisation of Rory and Paris but...there's a lot of anger in it."
When I started the story in 2003, the sky was the limit, and Paris and Rory were on their way to great lives bereft of any issues with men and so much potential for women in the world. Fast-forward to 2019...where we have a lying cheat of an asshole in the White House, merely disagreeing with a man is enough to bury your Twitter mentions in hate, and LGBTQ+ rights are being attacked at every turn.
Then we have the aftermath of AYITL, which dynamited Rory's future into being completely dependent on men (aka Logan), took away her entire drive and reason for being, and left her as a homewrecker having a kid she probably never wanted. And Paris is in a loveless marriage with a completely underwritten Doyle whose character traits went from 'being a loving and supporting boyfriend to a neurotic Jewish girl with the entire world upon her shoulders' to 'wink-wink Danny Strong writes Empire and Oscar-winners; Doyle can't raise kids let's just write that Doyle's that now since we threw out the Doyle notebook in our post-S6 burning of all our character notes'.
Yeah, over sixteen years, you tend to write for your reality, and the reality right now? Totally sucks.
"Some of it seems to be directed at society, some of it at the show, with a disproportionate amount of it being taken out on mostly male characters who bear only a passing resemblance to their on screen portrayal..."
Once again...AYITL hasn't aged well. Society hates journalists. It hates driven women (see my last post taking down that asshole who hates Brie Larson). Males are pretty damned well responsible for most of it. And I haven't had the best male figures of my life and have been mostly around women. I'm probably not going to write a positive view of some men; it's bias, and I own up to it here.
And yeah, my men don't match up to how they are on screen. Because, fanfiction is...
'Fiction written by a fan of, and featuring characters from, a particular TV series, movie, etc.'
Speaking of which...
"...Which seems to have got worse as I suspect you liked the show less and less."
You're reading my story. A Gilmore Girls fanfiction. My Twitter bio declares that I've loved it a decade and a half before the Gilmore Guys started their podcast. A show where I literally follow nearly main actor on the series into every future project they've had and watched loyally, for the most part. I buy every movie the girls have been in. Fanfiction isn't defined as 'a random person writing hate screeds against a particular TV series, movie, etc.'. You're not going to ever see me write even a drabble about how much Kevin Can Wait should be called Kevin Can Burn In Hell Because He's a Ghoulish Sexist Fuckface Who Celebrated His Wife's Death To Move On With His Former Hot Wife From Another Show.
Still love Gilmore Girls in full. But being a fan doesn't mean I have to like every single decision the writers and ASP ever made.
That is the fun of fanfiction. If I disagree with canon...I can disregard it, in part, or in full. I have never been able to find a fellow fan that agreed with every plot point the show has ever made. I hope I never will, because that's definitely not why anyone should ever be a fan of the show.
And excuse my language here...but I've written over a MILLION WORDS for this story. 27 chapters have been posted. I have an eventual endgame planned for the story that has been in my mind since the day I posted chapter one. Why the fuck would I write a million words about something I hate?!
"Dean has gone from a good first boyfriend who just wasn't right for Rory long-term to a violent thief who cheated on Rory throughout their relationship and never loved her anyway. And now, incredibly, seems to be just another entitled rich kid? It feels like you really want to bash on Logan but can't find a way to have him in the story, so you've turned Dean into him."
Oh reviewer...dear reviewer...oh, you don't know what you've gotten yourself into.
I have ALWAYS hated Dean. Always. Since January 2001 when I caught up on the backlog of episodes I missed because I only started watching during the two back-to-back night Christmas episodes, the only positive thought I've been able to spare for him was that Jared Padalecki (no attacks on him here, just the character) got a good living playing a completely underwritten bore who has nothing redeeming going on and a backstory that I would call 'existent'.
The show claims he's from the south side of Chicago in a neighborhood near the Dan Ryan that has 5% white people going by the zip code of his mail from there (the show's basic research department blew it there). Most white people from Chicago are in the Gold Coast, the northwest suburbs, or the North Shore. I have been adjacent to the Chicago market my whole life. He's from the North Shore, no question, judging from how his parents seem to have good enough wealth and how every white guy Chicago teenager story is drawn from a kid from the North Shore.
He literally punched Jess out three times!
He made Rory fear violence for merely losing a bracelet he gave her and for being near Tristan for a school function (LOL, Dristan...that burn still causes me to laugh at inappropriate times about how dumb it was, and I'm sure Tristan has it as one of his constant bon mots).
He called her home phone nearly a hundred times a day and drove her to the edge of madness with a 'must watch every day' love of Lord of the Rings that compares unfavorably to my four year-old nephew only loving Frozen, PJ Masks and Daniel Tiger. That isn't anyone any person has to tolerate in a relationship.
Dean’s only reaction to Rory trying to prove a point with her Donna Reed night was just she looked hot and he learned nothing about how women hate being confined to being solely homemakers and sexual receptacles.
He dumped her because she didn’t say “I Love You” like it was the goddamned bonus round in Wheel of Fortune and she didn’t get the solution out before the buzzer.
Dean’s shambles of a gift, that piece of shit car? It almost killed Rory and Jess. It looked like it didn’t have seatbelts. I’m surprised we didn’t get an episode where Dean ended up homeless because Richard sued his cheap ass into the fucking ground.
He decided to make her go back to him in front of the entrance of Chilton, where Rory would have looked like the biggest b***h in history if she didn’t return an ‘I love you’, and goddamned well knew it. Any good person would have done this in fucking private, like a considerate person.
He never respected the Chilton side of her life. At all. If it was up to him, he would’ve made up a bomb threat and had his friend imitate Rory’s voice to get her kicked out of the school she spent her young life trying to get into. If it was up to him, Harvard would have never even been a possibility, and if not for Jess coming in, he would have intimidated her into pushing off her dream entirely to stay in the kitchen.
His origin story was never mentioned outside 'he moved from Chicago and had a girlfriend in the past, Beth'. Fanfiction allows you to examine the holes in stories and go from there, and I just worked with them because the thing with moves to new locales? You can have a brand new image with people, and they will never know what you did in your old place. Judging by his violent/stalkerish tendencies, he has a pretty good case for having Imposter Syndrome that eventually reset itself in the Hollow.
Over time he went from a guy who seemed to like good literature to hyperfocusing on the 'it' media property of the time. Likely he started out liking fine literature, but once he fell in with the imbeciles of his friend group in the Hollow, that proved to be a lie.
He had a thing about being close to Lorelai. So much that around that time, there were so many more people shipping Lorelai/Dean than Rory/Dean as a romantic couple. If not for his later flanderization, that fangroup would still be strong.
HE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE!
**HE. CHEATED. ON. HIS. WIFE!
***HE! CHEATED! ON! HIS! WIFE!
****And outside losing his home and some stuff being damaged (rightfully fucking so) by Lindsay, both her and Rory took all the brunt of the damage his wandering dick did between all of them. Lindsay was guilted by her parents for checking out on her marriage and was never heard from again (I assume she's in a convent now because ASP's writing outside of Lorelai and Rory [or Paris, Sookie and Lane on a day she wasn't angry at the world for not pressing her hat right] for women was 'they are the enemy'). Rory had to find her way back to her old self (and she never did going by ending up with Logan). Dean? Welp, good thing "Supernatural" started at that time to save ASP the bother of having to explain what a dumbass Dean was.
*****Justice for Lindsay Lister! I hope she didn't go to a convent, but flipped off her parents, squealed out of town and is killing it in a career where she's respected, with a partner who loves her deeply.
The scene where he cornered Rory into sex in her house and said he didn’t love Lindsay was sexual assault and gaslighting. ASP intended it to be romantic, but instead created a nightmare scene that would be completely passe in a Lifetime movie. Rory’s first time was her being forced to give up her sexual agency for the pleasure of only Dean. And it’s exactly why the Paris/Rory scene I wrote on the yoga mats was intended to be the exact reverse of that trash.
He hoped to get ahead in life on a hockey scholarship. That's...not a life plan. And he paid for it by being stuck doing construction.
He hated Paris. He hated that Rory had her as a friend. He wanted a life with Rory that never involved Paris.
Paris is a strong-ass lady for daring to step to him and lie through her teeth about wanting Jess to stop the Great Stars Hollow Homicide of 2002 By The Coward Dean Forrester from ever being a thing.
LOL Logan is Tristan Lite and always will be.
About ten chapters back I mentioned how the girls consider Logan terrible already from a distance based on the New York media scene. Trust me, he's in this story (he may be a little more in this story later).
"There is a lot to recommend in this, like the slow burn set-up (although you've made up for it since!)..."
#backhandedcompliment (Also, what's to recommend? Love to know what you did like, but you spent all that time saying 'I'm mean to men', so I guess you ran out of time on that)
"...and turning Madeleine and Louise into three-dimensional characters..."
You sent me a flame, but didn't expand on what you loved about this? Thanks for the lack of feedback (and for misspelling Madeline’s name).
"But there are several reasons why it's not been an easy read so I won't be hanging out for an update, I'm afraid."
You basically said that you consider me a man-hater and that because I choose to have the ladies present their views in the story, you don't like that I'm drawing real life into their motives, mores and decisions. And you said I hated the show when most of my friend circle was formed through bonding through it, and we still love it, even if we think Rory needed to do better in life and ASP's writing weakened as each season went on.
I don't need readers like you, seriously. There are many other Rory/Paris stories you can read out there. As I have said in many other flame responses;
I am not the be-all end-all of Paris/Rory fic. PLEASE, read other writers. Enjoy their stuff. But don't whine at me or them because we choose to show that even in fictional worlds, people are against LGBTQ+ issues and people. We're not going to get equality by sugar-coating or whitewashing our way past those issues, and if you can't handle what I consider light attacks against entitled men, you should probably find something else to read.
