"Being An Adult Means You're Ready To Take On Any Problem"

"Being an adult means you're ready to take on any problem"

Excuse me?

Since when?

Every adult I know has avoided problems or make them even worse of what they are? You wanna know where all my fears, anxieties, and traumas come from? Look at the grownups in my family and you'll know.

Honestly Tia, let's be honest here. Avoiding problems is the main idea of adulthood.

This is the most wonderful and amazing post I have ever seen,.

gwynriel are mates

that’s the post

Court of dreams

I will enjoy the fact that this idea came to mind because it's been cooking in my mind for so long and I am ready to write it.

Now, don't get this wrong: I love the inner circle but their behaviour with Nesta has me on edge. This is not a hate for the inner circle, is just my own feelings trying to be incorporated into this small fic.

Also, I'm listening to Jessi and her energy pretty much motivated savage Gwyn. If you wanna know what I mean, then I will put the link for the song I was listening to while I wrote this and I encourage you to listen and read the freaking subtitles.

Enjoy!

Gwyn was listening to the inner circle yell to Nesta for one stupid mistake she had made.

And she had enough.

"Hypocrisy runs quite fast in here." She mumbled, crossing her arms ready to strike.

Every person in the room turned around to look at her, shock in their faces. Nesta shook her head slow but Gwyn ignored her.

"You don't understand how bad this is, Gwyn." Rhysand mumbled, his jaw clenching as he shot an angry look at Nesta.

Gwyn scoffed, looking at the roof for patience. "I understand that every single one of you is ancient but the only one that seems to have some sense of respect is the house we are standing in," A smile formed in her lips. "House that you gifted her after she saved your mate and son."

"Gwyn, you should go back-" Cassian mumbled, taking a step closer to her as if to stop her. Her eyes shifted to him in a clear warning that if he touched her, she would cut his hand.

"You are worse than them," She mumbled, tracing his body with her eyes. "Your mate is being disrespected in front of you and the only thing you can do is stay quiet and allow your High Lord to slander her and assault her."

"I am not assaulting Nesta!" Rhys roared, his face red in anger. "Do not dare to say that."

"Why? You think assault only includes somebody touching your body?" A humourless laugh left her lips. "Your words are assaulting her. She is braver than all of you and I will not stand here any longer listening to how you think she is worthless and a piece of trash. If any of you try to even mention that ever again, I will tear your tongue out of your mouth. You are the court of dreamers but tear down anyone who stands in your way."

Getting up from her chair, her hands shifted the hair on her shoulder and walked to the door.

"I am your high lord, Gwyneth Berdara. You will respect me and my inner circle." Authority rolled on his words, the pressure strong on her body but she just spared him a single glance over her shoulder.

"You are not my High Lord when you are a monster Rhysand. You are just one more afraid male trying to downplay a powerful female." Her gaze went to Azriel who was staring at her with encouragement on his eyes. "Staying silent also counts, shadowsinger."

And she left the room, leaving Rhysand shocked and Nesta smiling.

Azriel stared to where she left and turned to Rhys ready to give one more blow.

"Nesta did the right thing, Rhysand." He mumbled and motioned for Nesta to follow him, "Don't be your father."

Okay, but the faebane doesn't make sense at all? Like, if it made sense I'm sure Tamlin would have been "Imma stick this" and then just...do it? I don't even know if what I'm saying makes sense because this doesn't make sense!

But, because I am an intellectual person, let's talk about it this way so maybe ewriels can understand:

Faebane was meant to kill fae. Grab the word KILL. Capture it, picture it, own it.

What does killing mean? Cease to exist. Gone. Done for. Bye bye.

BUT WHAT DOES THIS ACTUALLY MEAN?

Based on Elriels, the reason why Elain and Azriel weren't mated was because of the ash arrow and the faebane (That's a double kill by the way) so what they are saying is that they were mates but the faebane stopped the process.

But the only thing faebane stops is life (that means death)

So (and I don't believe this theory even for a second) let's say that Elain and Azriel were mates (my chest hurt when I said that) but then the faebane struck Azriel, it killed the mating bond and almost killed Az. In this scenario, the mating bond is done anyway so in any scenario, his bond can snap in place with someone else.

Elucien will still happen, same thing with Gwynriel.

My head hurts trying to keep up with this theory ugh.

Call me a hater, I literally don’t care because I am one but this new Elriel theory of the faebane is going the run in course like all Elriel theories do. They have to come up with new theories once a week cause nothing actually fits their narrative.

Unlike us gwynriels who have had the same theories since the beginning of time.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Lawyered up - Chapter 1

Hiyooo, this is my first try at writing a fanfiction.

Well, writing it here, because in Wattpad I have 7.6k readers. Yes, this is me showing off because even though it's fanfiction, it takes a lot of work.

Sooooo, some inside into this:

It says chapter 1 because I will be posting more, obviously.

My first language is not English, so you'll have to be patient and kindly let me know if there is any mistake so I can fix it.

This is not a Hotch x Female MC. Even though I love daddy Hotch, I just never imagined him as the sexy daddy version, more like the dad-daddy version. Yeah.

I am busy like crazy with University and a job, so posts may be slow.

I really hope you enjoy this.

Anyway, enjoy.

I'm never drinking coffee again.

I'm banning coffee from my life, I will never drink it again and somebody should slap me if I ever drink coffee again. Please and thank you.

And even better, I will never drink coffee again before one of the most important final-stage interviews of my life. That should probably be something they ask at coffee shops, "Do you have any life altering things that will happen today?" and if you say yes, then you are not allowed to buy coffee.

Is not that I have something against coffee, God forbid, but I just get extremely hyper when I have coffee and based on what Professor Sukhan has said, I'm already hyper enough as it is.

So, why did I drink coffee today? Because I thought that staying up until two AM reading the longest, toe curling, smuttiest fanfiction ever was a good way to spend my time. Was it worth it? Yes it was, but that doesn't mean I don't regret it now that I'm shaking like a freaking chihuahua.

"Deep breaths, Liliana. And keep your hands under your legs." Professor Sukhan whispers softly, his eyes on his newspaper but I know he is anxious too. He is risking his professionalism creating this opportunity for me, and I really hope he doesn't regrets it.

It wasn't easy to make it, but I did it. I managed to get into the final stage of interviews in the FBI, and to be more specific, in the BAU.

I studied near death to graduate from law school, and I really really really want to get this job/internship. It took Professor Sukhan months to prove that allowing me to have an internship would be really beneficial for both the bureau and for me, sometimes I feel he sold my abilities for more of what they actually are but I know I will do my best to ensure I surpass expectations.

Hopefully.

"Liliana Madrigal." My eyes shoot up and find the blue eyed man that is staring at me. "We are ready for you." He is white.

Not that him being white is bad, is actually good, unless he is racist which would really hinder my process and my ability to maintain the facade of being a nice, obedient and sweet girl and--

"Liliana, please go and behave." Professor Sukhan mumbles bringing me out of my stupor. This is why he came, because he knew I was going to be so nervous this would be chaotic.

I clear my throat and stand up, nodding to the professor and making my way to the man who is now looking at his phone with a frown. When he realizes that I am standing right in front of him, he turns around and walks me through the doors where my future self may be walking.

I look around when the door closes behind me and barely have time to register the chaos this place is when the blue eye man mumbles "Keep up" and practically sprints down the hallway.

Swallowing down my fear, I run after him.

Freaking tall people think my little legs can keep up with them. I can barely reach the shower head and I'm expected to run after this tall guy and--

"Here. Go inside, sit down, and wait until they come."

I frown while my feet stop. "They who is-?" He ignores me, turns around and leaves.

Well, so much for being nice.

I stare at the black door and decide that they will not bring me to meet a serial killer in my last interview, I think. I hope.

Right?

"Okay Liliana, those who don't risk, don't win." I nod and take a deep breath, "You can do it. Please don't let it be a serial killer and please don't let me do anything stupid, amen." And I open the door.

A normal looking office says hello to me.

My eyes blink rapidly as a relieved laugh escapes my mouth. I don't know what I was expecting but an office that looks like the office of my psychology professor was not it. But this is good, this is nice, this is acceptable-

"Are you going inside or are you coming outside?" The deep voice behind me says and my soul goes to heaven to meet with its creator because I just died. Thank you and goodbye.

I turn around and find two men looking at me. The first man, I immediately recognized like Jason Gideon because he went to my criminology class and his lecture gave me nightmares, but the second man who is staring at me undisturbed has never been seen by my eyes. He is handsome, he is grace, he is mister United States-

"Pardon me?" I mumble because I just saw his lips move but I didn't hear a thing. He blinks.

"I asked if you are the girl I am supposed to be interviewing." He repeats calmly. His voice could narrate an audio book where he tells me how he is going to kill me in the most gruesome way and I would hundred percent say thank you.

"I certainly hope so because I was just dumped here with barely any instruction." Gideon smiles a little at that and a part of my soul rejoices because I just made Jason Gideon smile.

"What's your name?" He asks, and his voice is a soft baritone that has me feeling cozy inside.

"Liliana Madrigal, a pleasure." My hand stretches out; once again, I'm too late to realize my actions because I forgot my hands were shaking which is obvious now. Both men stare at my hand and then Gideon shakes it and lets go.

"I'm Jason Gideon and this is SSA Aaron Hotchner, we are on the behavioral analysis unit and we will be directing your interview." I nod and nod again and both stare at me. Agent Gideon gives me another soft smile. "We should go in the office."

"Oh! Of course, come in. Make yourself at home." I step to the side allowing them both to come in and then I notice the name at the door.

Aaron Hotchner. I just gave him permission to go into his own office. Amazing.

"Miss Madrigal, will you come in and close the door behind you please?" Agent Hotchner asks. I follow the orders and then walk to the chair in front of his desk. He is sitting on the chair while Gideon leans on the wall beside the window.

My hands fidget on my lap and then I remember how I'm supposed to keep them under my legs and take a deep breath. I do that and count to ten while the men look at what I'm assuming is my file.

"Miss Madrigal, your file says that you graduated at fourteen from high school." Agent Hotchner mumbles, scanning the page with his eyes.

"Yes, sir." He looks at me and the way his eyes are so dark make me very nervous.

"Is there any reason as to why that happened? Because your IQ is slightly elevated but not that much." I nod and then consider what to say.

They may notice the confusion on my face because Gideon speaks. "Just tell us the truth without sugar coating it."

Well, if he says so.

"I was bored, sir." They both stare at me.

"Bored?" Agent Hotchner repeats, I nod again. "Could you elaborate?"

I take a deep breath. "I didn't want to spend more time in school than necessary so I forced myself to graduate faster to study what I really wanted to study."

"Which was criminal law," Gideon says, my head shakes.

"No sir, I wanted to become a taxidermist." Both men stare at me and I can tell I managed to surprise them.

"Why didn't you then?" Agent Hotchner asks.

I shrug, "My mother said that if I became a taxidermist, I would sleep with the carcasses and see how that suited me." With secret joy, I notice how the corner of agent Hotchner's mouth twitches upwards.

I MADE HIM SMILE!

"So you didn't become a taxidermist, and decided to study law, correct?"

"With some little disruption to my plans, but yes sir." Agent Hotchner moves his hand in a rolling motion and I understand he is asking me to expand. "After the fiasco with taxidermy, I decided to explore my passions in the business world."

"You studied business, then?" Gideon mumbles, reading through my file.

"No, sir. I became a runner for a local gang in my neighbourhood." I think I actually managed to surprise them this time.

Both look at my file, their silence making me more nervous. Did I just messed up? Did a hot nice cup of coffee messed up the opportunity of a lifetime? Did I just ended my career choice?

"Why not a courthouse? You could have made a fine prosecutor with your grades and the success of your practicum." Gideon points out, I shake my head no.

"I thought about it and did two weeks as an assistant for a prosecutor and I am positive about not choosing prosecution."

"What about defense? You could have been good at that."

"I'm not fond of lying."

"So why the FBI? In this job, you need to keep a lot of secrets and maintain a low profile." I press my lips together considering what I have to say.

Two choices in here: Either lick their boots or be honest.

"As I was looking for career choices, I realized that the BAU gets sued continuously over every procedure that they endure-"

"How did you got that information?" Agent Hotchner asks, serious.

"One of my teachers worked as a legal advisor and one of the people that came to her was a lawyer who was helping someone sue the BAU for incorrect management of a case. Anyway, I kept my ears open and realized that this team is the one that gets sued the most and that caught my attention so I started researching why and I reached a conclusion," My hands intertwine as I smile at them. "And the conclusion was that in order for this team to be getting sued so often, then it may be doing something right."

Agent Hotchner closes my file and leans back in his chair, the look of calm suits him and then he turns to Gideon and a whole conversation takes place without them even talking. This is crazy.

While they have their strange staring contest, I think about the possibility of accepting the CIA offer. It came as a surprise, to be honest, but the terms are good; professor Sukhan would be a little dissapointed because the original plan has alway been the FBI but I don't think he'll mind that much.

I mean, is either CIA or going back to being a Runner and I think which option is better for my criminal record.

"You start on Monday." Agent Hotchner speaks and I nod.

"What time?"

"I need you here at five AM. We'll go over some information and I'll show you your office, if we have the time, I'll introduce you to the team." I nod and get up when he does. His hand stretches towards me and I shake it firmly. "Welcome to the team." I smile at him and then turn to Gideon, we shake hands and I take a deep breath because my hand is shaking more now.

"Welcome, Agent Madrigal." He murmurs warmly, I nod at him.

"Thank you, I will do my best." I walk to the door with them behind me and I know they are walking me to where professor Sukhan is. When we reach the door, I turn to them and smile. "Thank you, again." They both nod and I cross the doors, noticing how professor Sukhan stands up and stares at me.

We both stare at each other and he smiles when tears pool in my eyes.

"You did it." He mumbles coming closer.

"I start on Monday at five AM." He laughs, wrapping me in his arms which makes me sob.

"Are you crying?" He laughs, rocking me back and forth.

"I just don't want to wake up at five AM every morning." I sob in his shoulder. He laughs and pulls me closer.

"You did it," He whispers, patting my head. "I knew you would."

***

Hotch felt himself smile when he realized how the girl he had just hired was crying while holding the Hindi man. He wasn't sure what the relationship was, but he knew that the man had sold the girl at such a high price it tempted the bureau to meet her in person. And he wasn't disappointed.

Even though her psych results tilted her towards OCD regarding her job, and her getting obsessed in some cases, her results were so good he had to double-check every case she had participated in because she was practically a genius when giving criminal charges.

Eighteen charges, she had given eighteen charges to a child abuser and Hotch had been so surprised because he hadn't even thought about those charges. She was a genius, and she was merciless in court. That's why seeing the clumsy girl surprised him because she showed a completely different side of herself.

"Seems like we got another girl to babysit." Morgan rumbled beside him, slurping his coffee while staring at the girl with a smirk. Hotch hummed agreeing. "You think she'll give us a run for our money?"

"She is smart," Gideon mumbled, "she'll be okay."

With a smile, Hotch saw how the girl now had the man in a choke hold while she jumped excited. It was adorable.

"She'll fit right in." He whispered softly.

Even I want Lucien and I'm not part of ACOTAR

"Elain doesn't want Lucien"

My sweet summer child.

Everybody in the ACOTAR series wants Lucien.

She's just the one who is most terrified of that realization.
