#sr fandom drama

[megafreeman]

So if you don't keep up with Saints Row community drama some big stuff went down today.

Flippy released a video talking the state of SR2 patch, including mentioning minimaul's role in it, which pissed minimaul off so now saintsrowmods.com is offline.

For the record, saintsrowmods is the host of 90% of Saints Row mods (all of the games), and hosts all of the resources and tools for making mods.

#saints row #usually i avoid posting about drama outside of SR tumblr because this is our lil zen garden in a shithole communitt #but i feel like ''90% of SR mods and all resources to make them have been wiped off the internet cause the owner got called out'' #is a huge actual deal for the community... even people in here #sr fandom drama #sr fandom critical #sr

[laylaclock]

When there’s people complaining about The WH and TADC community having bad people,simps, Nsfw artist ,proshippers and weird guys on the fandom but you’ve been on the internet since much longer than them and actually deal with those shits without giving a damn because you genuinely like the media and don’t care about the horrible bitches around again because you ENJOY IT .

Bro there are soooo much worst fandoms than this two like the biggest exemples I could give with the biggest count of drama are the Undertale fandom and the Homestuck fandom, like common you probably don’t know about the sharpybath or the story of the cookie with a needle ..dude?!? And no matter how many shitty people there are on this two community , there’s still people enjoying it, making story, AUs,cosplay, musics , etc… buddy I know that those people kinda ruins the mood BUT FORGET ABOUT THEM AND GO CRINGE BY DOING WHAT YOU LIKE !!!!!!

excepted the bad stuff😅

Ngl it kinda grinds my gears when I make something, be it post or artwork or fic, and I make it genuinely sad as hell, and people just make jokes about it in the tags/response.

#‘here’s a pic of sr. in captivity- I bet all he did was bitch about the sheets/food lol’. ‘oh who carried Artemis’s casket when he died?’ #- *lists a bunch of unrelated characters as a joke*. #like c’mon man make ur own funny posts I want my emotional stuff to be taken seriously #but I can’t SAY anything about it on my main because it’s big-name Fowldom people who keep doing this and I don’t wanna start ‘drama’ #it just annoys me. i know we’re a fandom full of funny jokes/responses but at some point it just becomes disrespectful.

People are making fun of the luxe outfits but I think they’re pretty decent, there was thought put behind them.

Omg thank you for saying this anonie 😭😭 if you weren’t gonna send this in, I would have made my own post on it

I get why the outfits didn’t hit right at first. I saw the live 2D of Azul’s outfit and got a bit sad at first since the way the sleeves fell and the way the jacket framed his body didn’t look super flattering (plus I was sad it wasn’t a tailcoat ahahahahah). This is coupled with the fact that among the three, Azul fits the least in those colors hahaha. Those aren’t bad colors by any means, in fact, as someone who’s gotten a color analysis and came out with autumn as my best color palette, those are suchhh perfect colors for me. But Azul doesn’t fit those at all, especially the light brown. Heck, even if you just flipped the colors of the jacket and the dress shirt underneath, he would have looked so much better since dark colored tops work better with him in general than light colored ones (unless we’re talking silver/lavender/light blue, Those fit him very well).

Jamil and Ace are lucky in that they do fit the color palette better. People also just took issue with how Jamil’s pants look very wide.

But honest thoughts? I find that they do look good, especially when considering the theme of the event, and the event itself has listed the reasonings behind the designs of their outfits.

I think we have to remember that this is high fashion, hence the fits won’t hit with the majority of the fandom, who don’t really follow that kind of fashion. Jamil’s fit, especially with the wide pants, is common to see in fashion, and really to be honest, when we take into account of his character and personality, wide pants fits Jamil more than slim pants. Plus, in the event, the reason for that kind of fit is because of Vil’s profile for Jamil that he sent to the designer: a plain or humble guy who worries a lot in the background, to which the designer adjusted to a humble guy who behaves in moderation (from @mysteryshoptls).

Ace’s fit hits well with many people because it matches a lot of trends and classic fashion tips that we, especially younger people, like to see: slim figure, an emphasized waist, cropped top. It matches his description that Vil gave of him being an immature potato 😂 or the designer’s adjusted version of him having that fresh new student feel (also @mysteryshoptls).

Azul, now I will say he’s just a victim to the live2D not doing him any service. 🥲 The sleeves fall very stiffly, and the jacket doesn’t seem to frame him well. But you can see in his SR how the outfit is meant to look and shine:

The sleeves are meant to be very flowy especially when he’s walking and making dramatic gestures with his arms (something that he does a Lot in his live2D). His jacket as well is meant to be that long so that it would look like a trail (??? English isn’t Englishing rn) especially when he’s walking or making big movements. In other words, Azul’s outfit probably doesn’t stand out too much at first. But the moment he brings out the drama, the drama of his fit shines and amplifies his theatrics, thus attracting people. It sort of matches Vil’s profile for Azul is a scammer, and the designer adjusted it to a mysterious person who charms people (also @mysteryshoptls).

There’s a lot of thought put into the design, and I love them so much. I still find the colors a bit of a tragedy personally, only because it’s not Azul’s best colors, but thematically, considering the event story, it makes a lot of sense. I’m excited for what happens later on in the story and what they’re going to do in the film festival :3c

I'm being srs, I haven't slept properly for days now it's fucking 2AM and I still can't yawn at least, I try to write then fall asleep after boredom so I need ideas, atp I'll do any kind of requests mainly Alastor :3 (Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, special fandoms) but following these rules:

I. Concept of requests

• If the content is rather disturbing and uncomfortable to others (Aside from the person who requests for it) I would personally just send it personally if it's slightly has decency.

I won't accept these dynamics:

-Romanticizing abuse (“Punishment” like stories will be accepted as long as no characters will be harmed brutally which could be considered as assault or go against RA 9262/ RA 7610)

-Minor x adult

-Accidental/Hidden Pregnancy

II. Characters

• As a writer, I truly care about a character's detail and information on truly try my best to not have then OOC too much but as said. I will not do romantic relationships of minors and adults especially if indulging in sexual intercourse but if it's platonic it is easily welcomed here.

III. Relationships

• For the stories I require to know the relationship of certain characters, for example reader x etc, or reader having a friendship relationship with a certain character. But warning I won't write about these ships:

-Alastor x any existing character in the show

-Charlie x anyone aside from Vaggie

-Valentino x Angel Dust

-Moxxie/Millie x Blitzo

Velvette x Vox/Valentino

Carmine x Velvette

Angel x Lucifer

Emily x Any existing character in the shows

etc.

III. Themes/Genre

• okay, I do any themes at this point, Angst, Romance, Smut, Fluff, Gore/Violence, Humourous, Wholesome, Heartbreaking, Drama, Soap Operas, you name it!

I just require the requests to be humane and decent, I only would prefer if you'd state for a one shot or series, thank you and goodnight!

I keep the more /srs parts of fandom and the drama and all that off my tumblr but I need you all to know that I posted something vaguely negative about dream's fanbase and I instantly had that exact fanbase calling me a bunch of slurs, being transphobic to me, and telling me to go die so like... maybe stay the fuck away from me if you think that's normal fucking behavior towards somebody disapproving of your streamer's behavior

clorivia and furiventi for the ask game?

i really like clorinde\navia, like when we just got the trailer and fandom was doing boring stereotypes like clorinde is srs dismissive tsundere and navia is being :3 :3 :D at her I thought its gonna be boring, but then archon quest released and oh my god it was so juicy. childhood friends but then clorinde had to kill navia's father in a duel bc justice system failed him, and he asked her to look after navia, but navia now can't stand to look at her, like??? the drama! clorinde looking at navia with wet angst eyes after saving her while navia is cry-yelling at her to leave her alone?? peak lesbianism. navia calling out to clorinde in court and clorinde stepping up and testifying against broken system she was a part of, bc this is the real way to show remorse instead of playing savior? fucking good narrative shit. anyway, top tier, i hope we see more of them soon

furina\venti can be cute, i guess? like i can see them getting along great, they have similar interests in performance arts, they would have fun ehehehe trolling ppl, the dichotomy of a human who had to play god and a god who plays human is interesting. i think it'd do furina good to travel with him for a bit, finally feel free, visit places where ppl don't know her, just learn to be herself and not her archon mask

I apologise for asking this if it isn't something you want to talk about but do you know why there is so much hatred for Kagura from so many S*ssr*n shippers/HnY fans? I haven't seen HnY because I don't like sequels that take away the happy ending of the original so I only know a few spoilers through the grapevine, but the Kagura hate I've seen lately from some HnY fans reminds me of anti-Kikyou Inukag shippers from twenty years ago. But Inukag shippers are more supportive of Kikyou nowadays and fandom in general is less misogynistic than it used to be, so I don't understand why another woman being important to Sesshoumaru in the original Inuyasha series is so unacceptable that Kagura gets hate now. Even if people ship S*ssr*n, love isn't a finite resource? Sesshoumaru loving and wanting to avenge Kagura doesn't mean he can't love anyone else, it doesn't diminish his other relationships—especially because Rin was a literal eight-year-old child when Kagura was alive. It's not like Kagura was a yandere type who harmed Sesshoumaru or anyone else he cared about, either, after a while Rin knew she had nothing to fear from Kagura and was squee'ing about Kagura being in love with Sesshoumaru.

Again, I apologise for how long this question was and sending it on Anon, I just didn't want to get hate from S*ssr*n shippers or HnY fans. Kagura's my favourite Inuyasha character, so it made me sad to browse the Inuyasha reddit/tumblr and see people calling her a 'manipulative bitch' and such when I went looking for fanart and fic about her. It's especially strange coming from people who praise other former villain characters like Sesshoumaru, who did worse things than Kagura when he was evil.

hello buddy sorry this is late i literally did not see it??

but since i'm obviously on the opposite end of the spectrum in this situation & have only really been involved in the tumblr iy fandom for so many years, the only thing i know about any of that drama is that she's perceived as a threat to their yucky ship bc she was really the canon love interest for sesshomaru in the og series. and kagura is obviously the polar opposite of rin in literally every aspect. like, we have a demoness that was born from the body of the main villain who comes out the gate swinging on koga's entire family & is forced to beef with the whole inugang constantly and calls sesshomaru a bitch to his face the second time they meet. versus a cute lil baby who's a complete blank slate. so for people that don't care for her bc of their ship bias it's pretty easy to misinterpret her character & motivations and draw silly conclusions lmao. i'm not gonna say kagura isn't problematic in some ways but LITERALLY WHO CARES it's not that serious?? pretty much everyone in IY has done morally questionable shit. it's a fairy tale set in feudal japan, like. and it sucks that you're coming across negative bs when you're just trying to enjoy yourself in this fandom!! that happened to me too when i first got back into iy in 2020 bc i didn't know that kagura was like severely hated until i joined an iy group on fb (owned by you-know-who, unbeknownst to me) and saw all that weird shit lmao. but there's a lot of really great creators on tumblr, at least, that are anti-sr & pro-kagura, so i hope that you could at least enjoy yourself on this blog!! <3

#i dont even want this showing up in the tags bc i dont have time for weirdo sr's in my inbox fksjfkdl #OH WELL #anti sessrin #hny #ask #anti shit #iy #*

Can you make any sort of statement on what's going on with saintsrowmods.com? Would like to hear your side of the story, I don't think it's fair you got banned and what-not but I understand 'tHE zONE's reasoning. Just wanted to try and give you the benefit of the doubt because I know in scenarios like this people like to point fingers.

I don't really like talking about drama hear cause its a constant in SR community and so exhausting at this but, and there isn't really much of a statement to be made tbh. I'll put something short under read more so peopl can avoid it.

What happened is that someone got into flippy's account and changed his password to make comments and he thinks saintsrowmods admins abused their power to reset passwords to make him look bad. I simply asked if he's sure someone else didn't get into it, considering he mentioned the account hasn't been used since 2013 and got banned for that question and made into a suspect. Apparently it was gaslighting.

I can't really say more except I didn't do it cause I have no reason to do something like that? If I wanted to berate Minimaul I would've done it from my SRM account, and I don't get why I'd want to make flippy look bad cause I considered him my friend? Especially not with some over the top rant, like what would be the point? I just doubted that SRM admins did it (especially since he said he doesn't think its minimaul) because it doesn't sound like something others would do. The message was originally hidden by a spam bot too, the only reason people know about this is because Admixon sent it to mrsaintsgodzilla in the first place.

#sr fandom drama #it doesn't even add up how would i reset the password if i'm not an admin... i don't even use the forum #its really up for you to believe it or not #i can just say i didn't do anything except tried to make a temp archive for mods unless minimaul never releaeed the site #btw if anyone wants to talk to me they can add me on discord i don't really wanna use public channels to talk about this #idk if there's anything else to add? #sr

[sappymix1]

today the "official dnf discord" pinged everyone saying they were going to start removing people who were srs shippers and deleted all nsfw channels and content

art i posted that usually would hit 2k easily can barely pass 1.5k

the stocks are massively down because twitter is fucking stupid

what the fuck is the official dnf discord??? but that’s fucking wild truly the downfall of this fandom will be its inability to listen to anything dream says and react appropriately.

i do wonder if people taking a step back from the twitter fandom bc of all of the drama before the drideo might have impacted it to tho bc like i know i see so much less dt content at all on my for you tab just bc everyone got so annoying for awhile so i stopped engaging with it as much

[pianostarinwonderland]

stuff in my head about what's happening

there is absolutely no end to the drama that is Twisted Wonderland :-)

"what's happening now" so basically everyone is disappointed with how Vil's SSR has absolutely no story. no personal, no appearance in the event. he's just there to be pretty. and give furniture.

and you Know it's bad Bad when not only the EN fans but the JP fans are talking about it. and by talking about it, i mean

personal story has trended

a big twst artist, twst_13, made a tweet expressing that they were pretty upset with the lack of story, and well.. that honestly ended up being their last straw in leaving the twst fandom. and due to their rep, it really spread throughout the fandom and uh yeah here we are

and rn a lot of people are doomposting. just your regular twst afternoon

so yeah it's been fun so far B)

in all seriousness, ik a lot of people aren't happy with this. if you're really discontented with what's going on so far, email twst. giving feedback is the best way for them to know what their audience wants, and they do listen to their fans if enough people send them concerns. you can send through this link. i think it would be great to email them in Japanese, but if you really can't, wellll let's hope some people there understand English <3

anyway there's a cut because i currently have talk too much disease and have Opinions on this so i want to make it an easier scroll for people encountering this post.

hi welcome to under the cut, where you will find the real reason why i'm making this post: to not Shut Up about what's going on.

personally my thoughts on this are mixed. on one hand, I really don't mind some cards just getting furniture instead of stories because (1) guest room feature nice for me, but I also understand that those who aren't immersed in it would be more frustrated; (2) more importantly is the thought that with less stories to write about, the writing team would actually, idk, have more breaks. the main focus would be delivering a Good main story chapter, and they put event stories on a halt for a bit.

on the other hand, this Is an event SSR, so it feels weird. club cards are acceptable because at least it's new New art and kinda accepted already that it's not gonna get personals. the main story cards, like cerberus Ortho and upcoming general Lilia SSR, are acceptable because they are already accompanied by main story. some tsumsted cards like the SRs and Rs are acceptable too because the event story itself already accompanies them. but an event SSR of an event being reran. it's a bit disappointing.

but at the same time, i've also gone through the time that twst was slow in pacing. and it was really hard. that was the first wave of exodus, and it's still the biggest one to this day. so it's like, if guest room furniture can let them keep updating the game so that it doesn't go too quiet, then I'd really much rather have what we're having now over slow pacing.

and diasomnia has been in the waiting room for wayyyy too long. a lot of fans, EN and JP alike, have been frustrated with how long they had to wait for diasomnia content. and ik twst listens to complaints especially from their JP audience. so it's good that now they're shifting priorities to dia story and ensuring that fans aren't dying too fast. and ngl after how long pome and igni felt (emphasis on felt because pome actually wasn't that long in hindsight, it just felt long after how we went from frequent octa and scarabia to two-month halloween), it's good that main story is getting updated at a good pace.

most importantly, i really just hope that the writers have more room to breathe. making a lot of personal stories, as well as revising, editing, and getting approval would be understandably difficult. in the end, we really don't know the situation in the hq, so whatever is happening there, i hope that the teams and devs aren't burning out

at the same time though, i also don't want event SSRs like upcoming Silk Vil not having personals to become a norm. a big part of what makes twst enjoyable is their story and their characters. and much of what we know of the characters is found in the personal stories. but see, this is where sending in a concern is important!! because we want this game to be as best as it can, and simply complaining about it will cause an echo chamber of doompostings with no substantial effort being put into actually doing something about it. i'm probably gonna see if i could send a concern to them about it because yeah, I want to see twst doing better.

Dead and Waiting | Part 7

Fandom: Chicago PD

Pairing: Jay Halstead x Reader

Genre: Drama, angst, romance, thriller

Warnings: smut, violence, harassment, swearing, gun mentions, fire, injuries, sickness

Word Count: 3691

Requested By Anon: hi! can i request a jay halstead x reader where you work in intelligence with him and for some reason (maybe undercover work) you have to fake your death and no one knows, not even jay… but you end up returning once it’s safe again and he’s mad but also relieved?

thanks and totally understand if you pass over this request &lt;3

This is Part 7, click for Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 8, Part 9 (FINAL PART), EPILOGUE |

A/N: TRT = Tactical Response Team / TR Officer = Tactical Response Officer

-

It had been a week since your funeral, and a week since Jay was allowed to return to active duty. Following the funeral, the wake, and Jay’s impromptu surveillance on that apartment he had found, Hank had agreed to help Will keep an eye on his brother, finally letting the doctor get back to work. Though Will never begrudged caring for Jay and helping him with everything, Will found himself needing the distraction and the return to normalcy too. There was a heavy atmosphere over a lot of people's heads.

Hank had tried his resolute best to keep Jay in the bullpen and ease him into things, but anybody who knew anything about Jay Halstead would understand what a task that was. Thankfully for the sergeant, the special task force - the one he had put together whilst Intelligence were on compassionate leave - had done a respectable job at staying hot on Jeremy Sr’s tail. This meant that in the week of Jay’s return, Intelligence's new case was the one case Jay had his mind on. They were drawing ever closer to capturing and arresting the mastermind behind it all, the perpetrator of your ‘death’.

As per their agreement, Jay had been partnered with Hank, and they found themselves in the older man’s SUV. Jay was sitting shotgun with his fingers tapping restlessly on the door handle, his eyes fixated on the dark shadows of movement in the upstairs window of the building, their target was at home. Multiple sources from the preliminary surveillance had confirmed the sighting of a second figure, shorter than Jeremy and possibly female. The working theory was that Jeremy had Caitlin Birch under his control and in captivity.

With a pin-drop silence they were listening to every word Burden Sr said to an associate on the other end of the phone, hearing how about “that mess from a few weeks ago has been all cleared up, everything is ready to proceed, I have to take care of one more inconvenience first”.

The point had been to try and get further incriminating evidence on audio surveillance before executing the warrant they already had. Right now, hearing him talk about your life as a mess that was cleared, hearing him talk about the illicit activity he had planned to carry out further, and hearing him talk about potentially getting rid of the suspected hostage he had inside… well, it spoke for itself. They were getting sentence after sentence of pure gold.

It did nothing for Jay’s mood, however, with each passing minute he felt just about ready to crawl out of his skin and leap from the car to the top floor of the building. He was itching to put an end to that foul being that still walked the earth whilst you didn’t.

Their current location was a different spot to the one Jay had been staking out the nights before. And what Jay hadn’t known whilst he was dealing with your funeral was that Hank had been receiving constant updates from the TRT on the case. Your case.

Hank watches through his night vision binoculars as the TRT silently, in the dark of the blacked-out street, made its way towards the apartment building. It was an apartment in a well-to-do area, the penthouse no less. But rather foolishly Burden Sr hadn’t changed cars when he changed apartments, a cocksure move that had backfired. The team could only surmise that he thought law enforcement would have gone out of the city to look for him, rather than stay focused inwards.

The vehicle they had confirmed as belonging to Burden Sr sat parked on the street, it was sleek and new, just the same that had been coming and going from the apartment before this one. Now, Adam and Kim were locking the wheels with clamps, moving with the TRT to pry open the door, silence the alarm almost immediately and open it up to begin evidence seizure. 

Looking at the front door to the apartment building, Hank watches another officer pry open the card-only access, slicing away the failsafe bolt with a laser cutter. Kevin goes in with them as they ascend the flights of stairs to the penthouse, he can feel Jay’s body thrumming with energy. The energy that is being held back by the invisible leash Hank put on him; they wait in anticipation as they receive hushed updates from the team’s leader on the comms.

“Sergeant Voight, we’ve got some movement going down the back stairwell on the West, an individual matching the suspect's height and clothing is attempting to flee via the emergency exits, no sign of the second individual. We are in pursuit, officers are waiting at the bottom.”

Hank leans forward in his seat, eyes tracking each and every movement outside the building, commanding into the radio, “Stay on him, do not let this son of a bitch get away!” 

Jay eyes Hank, nostrils flaring, his thoughts rapid-firing across his mind. “Sarge, it’s not right. It’s too obvious that he’s making another play. Why would he leave without a hostage? We didn’t hear screams, gunfire, anything…no reason to think she’s not still alive. He's got someone else decoying, I know it.” 

Before Hank can even query what Jay’s theory was, your fiancé is reaching for the door handle and climbing out of the SUV. 

“This is Detective Halstead with Intelligence, be advised of a possible redirect from the suspect. Intelligence officers are moving towards the East exit, TR officers hold your position on the West.”

“Jay!” Hank hisses, walking at speed as he follows him in the direction of Adam and Hailey whom Jay is already silently flanking down and motioning for them to follow, Kim moving off to assist Kevin. “We talked about this!” Hank tries to grab Jay’s shoulder, fearing what would happen if he didn’t keep stride with Jay.

“Sarge, I know this asshole. He wouldn’t do something stupid like use the exits nearest to his apartment, and he wouldn’t leave his leverage behind. He’s gonna have found a way to loop back through the apartments and come out on the East, somebody is obviously helping him. Now you can either come, or go back to the SUV, but I’m not sitting there and watching this thing fail.”

Hank relinquishes his grip on Jay but steps in stride with him, Adam and Hailey silently eyeing each other as they walk either side of the pair. Ready to intercept or help if need be.

Kevin's voice comes in over the radio, “Sarge, we have someone in custody, but it’s not Burden. I repeat it is not Burden.” 

Jay eyes Hank for a split second before taking off towards the East exit, ignoring the calls of his name as Hank, Hailey and Adam followed.

With thundering footfalls of boots on pavement, Jay comes to a skittering halt when he spots someone he recognises to be Caitlin Birch, being held by her hair, as she’s dragged towards another vehicle.

It made sense now, under the reactivated streetlight Jay could see Caitlin was covered in bruises and marks, both old and new. Burden would have undoubtedly seen Caitlin as a betrayer to his whole empire and, instead of simply killing her off, he had brought her along for the consequences of everything blowing up in his face. She was wide-eyed and terrified, legs Bambi-like as she tried to find some sort of footing with the motion of being dragged. 

Burden’s free hand produces a gun to her head and Jay steps forward, about to draw his gun but hesitation wheedles its way in. Caitlin was in danger, and he couldn’t afford to provoke the man holding her. He knew that, but he also knew that you’d want him to do everything he could to protect Caitlin. So he was left with no option but to try and talk down the man that had ruined everything, no matter how much the anger bit into his nerves.

“Jeremy, you know this won’t end the way you’ve planned, release her and we can work something out.”

Burden snarls, pressing the gun harder against Caitlin’s temple. “This whore betrayed my son, I had to kill him for his stupidity, and now I’ll have to kill her. Just like I had to kill your detective. She was yours wasn’t she?”

It feels like the air around him gets sucked away, jaw clenched as he stares out the man before him.

"Oh yes, we know all about your lying little bitch, in cahoots with this one." Burden yanks at Caitlin's hair again, and a small whimper escapes her as she rolls her already damaged ankle whilst trying to squirm away.

Jay’s heart and blood pressure leap, body vibrating with pain and rage, he so desperately wants to produce his weapon and fire without contemplation. 

Burden is unphased by the threat around him, choosing to taunt Jay further,

"The CPD remains with its gaps in the fortress, Detective. It doesn't take too much to find things out. Such a shame you won't get that lovely wedding now..."

Jay darts forward before skidding to a halt again as Burden cocks the gun under Caitlin's jaw, "What the fuck did you just say? Huh?!" Jay is so close to snapping, itching to run forward and deal with the fallout. A hand clasps his shoulder.

“Jay, don’t.” Hank’s voice is stern, and level, he trusts Jay's control implicitly but he knows everyone has a limit. Knows how quickly this could all get away from them. The last thing everybody needed now was an investigation from Internal Affairs on why Jay was allowed to command the situation and get a civilian killed.

Jay doesn’t acknowledge Hank but doesn’t advance, nor does he point his gun either. He bites back a comment about Hank choosing his moment to show restraint, he knows better than to do that, even in this moment of unfiltered distress.

Hailey and Adam are communicating with the rest of the officers, Kevin had gone to make his way through the building and come out behind Burden, and Kim coming round the opposite side of the block. 

Hank steps forward, taking his hand off Jay but keeping close.

“Jeremy, I’m Sergeant Hank Voight. It’s over, Jeremy. We can make things happen for you, but you have to let Caitlin leave alive.”

“Make things happen? I am not stupid, Sergeant. You’ll make nothing happen, and I am better off making arrangements myself. Now I’m taking this rat with me and we’re leaving. Attempt to track me and I’ll blow her brains out.” 

There’s a beat of silence and Hank turns to Jay, talking quietly.

“Find a TRT sniper, ask for his weapon, go to the roof.” It feels like an order but it also feels like Hank giving Jay a chance for retribution. Jay hesitates, he doesn’t like the feeling of Hank basically giving him permission to murder your killer. It’s a little too ‘eye for an eye’, he really didn’t want to play that way. 

“Jay, he’s going to kill this girl if we try something on the ground, whether it’s you or someone else, we do need a sniper. So you can go, nobody is going to see it any other way than you protecting this girl, they’ve heard his demands.”

He reaches out, squeezing Jay’s shoulder and hesitation still lingers across your fiancé's eyes. No matter the job it would always affect him, in some way, when taking somebody’s life. Jay glances at Jeremy who remains with an iron grip on Caitlin, he had no intention of being dissuaded from the path he was taking and Jay’s duty was to protect the woman in his hold. 

Jay exhales, nodding curtly at Voight as he disappears toward the tactical vans, disappearing behind a row of trees out of Burden’s eye line.

[Elsewhere]

You were doing better this week, it has been nearly two weeks since everything had been totally snatched out of your control. Your pneumonia was starting to ease off, and the shots and the IV antibiotic had seen to your progressing recovery. Gradually you had been able to stay awake for longer periods, eat more substantial food, and even some mobility in your arm was coming back.

Truth be told, the more you physically improved it felt like a greater battle to stay together mentally. Being without your life, your fiancé, your friends and colleagues alike, your need for a routine and a sense of purpose was starting to scrape at the inside of your head. It felt like your whole reality just got further away with each passing moment, not ever knowing when or if it would come to an end. You only hoped that Burden bastard was stopped sooner than later.

In the meantime you’d been trying to keep occupied in recuperation, daytime TV gave you terminal boredom and a sense of detachment, so you opted to ask for a radio where you could listen to classical music that filled the daily silence. You weren’t allowed a phone or a computer, not even your suggestion that they put blocks on the computer or phone made them consider it. They didn’t trust that you wouldn’t attempt to find a workaround and make contact with someone at the district. 

You had, however, been allowed a notebook. A notebook that helped write endless ages of case notes, things that you remembered from day one of being undercover until now. ATF had taken your statement once you were well enough after waking up in the hospital, but these were notes you were going to keep for Intelligence and for when you could get home. Amongst the notes were also letters, letters to friends, to family, to Kim, to Hailey, to Adam, to Kevin, to Jay… You were on Jay’s right now, trying to feel a closeness to him by writing for him.

[“I am sure you are going out of your mind right now, and I know I’d be the same if the roles were reversed. Please don’t give the others too much of a hard time, I know they’d do anything for me too, so be patient with them. I am holding on for the day I can tell you I’m still here, Jay, I can’t wait to hold you and reassure you that everything isn’t a nightmare. Because let’s be honest, it feels like a nightmare right now doesn’t it? 

I am being treated okay here I guess, but I can’t help feeling they’re keeping so much from me, there’s a coldness here. It’s almost like a mistrust, a sense that I’m somehow the enemy… I don’t know, I find myself wishing more and more that Hank would show up and mess their shit up. Isn’t that funny? The thing we spend our time stopping him from doing too extremely. I long for the day you come through that door, Jay, to be able to hold you again is all I want. I-”]

Your focused scrawling is disturbed by the door to your room opening, your head snaps up and you’re met with the faces of Stensing and Huffman, they have an expression on their faces you hadn’t been privy to before now. You recognise it as relief.

The two agents step into the room and you put your pen and paper to the side, eyebrow raised in curiosity,

“Can I help you, fellas?”

They exchange a glance.

“He’s dead, detective. They killed Jeremy Burden. You will be free to return to Chicago and to your unit in the morning.”

…

[Back in Chicago] 

Now that Jay had disappeared off into the treeline along the street, Jeremy shifts uncomfortably whispering something into Caitlin’s ear. He eyes Hank with a scowl, flitting his gaze back and forth between Adam and Hailey who remain flanking Hank. 

“What’s the matter, did I say something I shouldn’t have?” He snarls, kicking Caitlin to her knees from behind her legs. 

Hank holds out his hands in placation, “Jeremy, Jeremy listen to me, I’ve sent him away, it’s just you and me now, we can have this conversation respectfully…Just don’t hurt the girl anymore.” 

“I don’t think I quite believe you, Sergeant. In fact, I think your little detective friend hasn’t wandered off to sulk at all, so I’m going to teach you all a lesson. FIVE-... FOUR… THREE…I will pull this trigger if you don’t call off your little plan, RIGHT NOW.” 

Caitlin is sobbing uncontrollably, no matter how much her kidnapper tells her to be quiet, eyes squeezed shut as she waits for the inevitable. Hank doesn’t move, he doesn’t reach for his radio to tell Jay to pull back. He knows that Jeremy knows that he can’t kill the only thing stopping the officers on the ground from firing their weapons. 

“TWO!” Burden roars, mumbling angrily and incoherently to Caitlin. 

And then... A gunshot. 

Silence. 

The world is still for a split second before Hank, Hailey and Adam take off running toward Caitlin and Jeremy Burden’s now very still body. 

“Caitlin, Caitlin are you hit, are you hurt?” Adam bends down to pry her from underneath Burden’s body. 

“No-no… I wasn’t hit, oh my god, oh my god…” She begins sobbing again and Adam helps her to her feet, carefully supporting her weak body as Hailey comes round her other side to help.

Between gasping breaths, Caitlin asks with trembling words, “Is it- is it over?” Hailey squeezes her gently, speaking softly, 

“It’s over, Caitlin, nobody’s going to hurt you anymore.” Caitlin nods, still unable to control her shocked whimpered sobs as she limps towards an ambulance. Hailey and Adam exchange a glance as they spot Jay almost robotically reappearing from the apartment building, handing the rifle back to the officer he’d taken it from and trudging back towards Hank's car. 

Hank bends down beside Jeremy Burden’s body, making sure there was in fact no pulse before calling over officers to roll the crime lab. He stands once more, motioning over Kim and Kevin who were now breaking off from their group of TR officers. 

“I want you two to run point here, I’m going to take care of Halstead. Meet us back at the district.”

“Copy you, Sarge.” Kevin nods, 

“Yes, Sarge.” Kim gives a sympathetic smile, patting his shoulder as she follows Kevin towards the staging area to speak to other officers.

The senior officer scans the crowd of law enforcement looking for Jay, spotting him crouched by the SUV. With a look to Adam and Hailey who are standing by Caitlin’s ambulance, Hank nods and motions with his palm, silently requesting that they stay with her. He receives another two nods as he makes his way to Jay.

As he gets closer he can hear Jay trying to take calming breaths, he keeps his approach careful and relatively slow, “Jay?” He queries softly. Jay lifts his head with tired and red eyes, hastily swiping at his tears he stands back up. 

“Job's done, Sarge. Where do you want me?” He sniffs, mouth set into a thin line, the walls to his emotions going back up with speed.

“I want you to come back to the district with me, bro. We’re going to debrief, and you’re gonna get you the time you need.”

“Sarge, that’s not necessary, I-”

“Jay, this isn’t a negotiation. We’re going back to the 21st. We are only just beginning to give ATF hell for everything that’s happened, I need you to have your head on straight.”

Jay is quiet for a moment, considering Hank’s words before nodding curtly, his eyes full of fire once again as he climbs into the passenger seat.

En route to the district, it’s quiet, Jay toys with the rings around his neck, sighing as he closes his eyes, trying to imagine your voice or your touch, wishing that him ridding the world of Jeremy Burden made it all hurt any less. It didn’t. 

Hank’s turning into the street that takes them to the 21st when the caller ID on his car springs to life. The name “Huffman ATF” flashes and Hank answers, eyeing Jay for a second. The detective sits up straighter in his seat, listening intently, anger already filling his veins before he’s heard what the agent has to say. 

“Voight.”

“Sergeant Voight, this agent Huffman. I’ve heard from your higher-ups that you managed to seize and kill Jeremy Burden today?”

“The killing wasn’t planned, agent, but yes. We got the job done, no thanks to you. Did you even know he still had Caitlin Birch?”

“Well, we had our assumptions, but our primary focus was on securing the weapons and the individual responsible.”  

Jay and Hank scoff at the same time at Huffman’s callous statement, not at all surprised given their attitude throughout. 

Huffman continues, “I’m sure we’ll have some very productive conversations and liaisons now that you have helped us so wonderfully with the seizure of Burden’s property. We have reason to believe there are other locations that may provide us with other suspects, targets and all relevant information.”

“We will not be working with you until we’ve filed a formal complaint, agent. Is there anything else you want before I get back to actually doing my job?”

The agent sighs at the other end of the line, 

“I wish you played more nicely, Sergeant. I really do… Yes, there is something else. It’s a sensitive topic, however, can we meet in person?” 

“We can meet, but I need to know what it’s about.” Hank’s tone is terse, eyeing Jay who’s probably two seconds away from inserting himself into the conversation with a stream of questions and grievances alike.

“I’d rather discuss it in person, I will send you the address.” 

“Listen, Huffman, I am trying to play nice here. I think I deserve to know what I’m actually coming to see you for.”

There’s hesitation, but Huffman relents. Giving the simple words, “It’s about your detective, Y/N Y/L/N… See you soon, Sergeant.”

And with that, the car’s speaker goes quiet, the line dead.
