mac: I AM IN HELL

how to care for your macgyver as told by jack dalton

1 dont because i will always be there before you

2. sure, he's a genius on paper, but he's an idiot. bring snacks for him always because he forgets he's a human that needs to eat

3. when he's nervous he'll start fidgeting. unless you want your toaster taken apart and made into a bomb, have paperclips on hand.

4. for no reason other than because he wants them, have zip ties. you might not be the terrorist in the situation but god forbid you forget the zipties -you will be the bad guy

5. he hates admitting to being injured- physically or otherwise, so you have to take it upon yourself to determine if he's alright or not. he can and will hide injuries from you

6. again, for somebody with such a high IQ, he is the dumbest person you'll probably meet. remind him he doesn't carry a gun and that the assailant is at least 200 pounds of muscle. he cannot take them by himself.

7. not only will he forget to eat, but he will try to avoid sleep for weeks at a time. this cannot happen. literally pin him down if you need to.

8. he will constantly try to sacrifice himself. don't let this happen. he's smart enough to get everyone out, he just needs to remember that.

9. sometimes you'll see him get overwhelmed. it's really important that you know how to calm him down so he can focus- you can deal with the fallout later.

10. sometimes his mind will wander to previous ops. he's still trying to figure them out. distract him with a random story.

id like to extend a sincere apology to anyone who has to listen to me ramble about how much i love a fictional character

at this point mac could fully say like 'oh thank god for the life lesson my grandfather taught me!! get rabies and not treat it for building character!!' like please receive immediate help angus you are so far from okay

Another funny thing about macgyver (2016) is how mac will go ‘I know all this stuff because when I was 10 my grandfather forced me to survive in the woods’. Bestie I hate to break it to you but that is not normal

jack: did none of you hear what i just said?? riley: ive been zoned out for the past two hours bozer: i got distracted about half way through mac: ignoring you was a conscious decision

Jack: No, listen to me for a second. Now, listen.

I've been watching your back for years, for years tangled with some real badasses that were trying to kill you. But this guy is…is different. He's really good. Beyond badass.

Maybe better than me.

So, I'm just gonna have to leave you behind on this one, okay?

Mac: Well, yeah. If he's that good, I need to be with you, not stuck in a...

Jack: Hey. Hey! I'm not argue with you about this, all right? I cannot do my thing if I'm worried about losing you every minute. But the last thing I need is your death on my conscience.

That'd kill me. Don't do that to me.

You know, sometimes the best way to watch your back is to have your back somewhere else entirely. You understand?

Jack + Being Protective of Mac (requested by anonymous)

Desi: Whatchya reading there, Jack?

Jack: A book of things I love.

Desi: Jack, that's just a photo album of Mac and Riley.

Jack: Oh, what a coincidence!

Olvera was at least a hundred and fifty pounds heavier, and about a foot taller, than Riley. Given the condition of his body when they’d found him, as well as Riley’s small size, he estimated she had maybe thirty minutes to live, with some margin for error. Mac didn’t like his lack of clarity when the stakes were so high, but without doing more tests to narrow down the exact type of cyanide compound in her system, he could only work within the known variables. He didn’t have time for anything else.

He knew better than anyone else how off kilter she’d felt recently. Bozer tried to help, he did everything he could, but he just couldn’t understand the two of them the way they could understand each other. Even if that wasn’t the case the fact remained; she was happily dating someone else. For that reason alone he should shut down these feelings and just be grateful she considered him a friend.

He was grateful, everyday.

Mac also wasn’t naive or selfish enough to think that he was the only one feeling lost right now. So, fuck his feelings and his angst, he had to at least pretend to pull it together for the rest of the team.

He could be Riley’s friend, and let her be his. He would learn not to want her so badly. He could do this. He had to.

“How much do you know about babies anyway, Mac?” she asked, her voice just a little too shaky to be normal.

“Not nearly enough,” he answered, still checking the child for injuries. His hands shook like he was scared he might break her. “How are we supposed to do this Riles? I think she’s okay, but I don’t know. What do we do if we run into trouble? We can’t fight. I can’t make a bomb or anything else I normally would without putting her at risk. How am I supposed to get you both out of here? I don’t know what to do.”

While the security team was busy trying to take cover, Mac slung one of Riley’s arms over his shoulder and hauled ass back to the van.

Jack would have said that they ran like they had the devil on their heels. Actually, Jack probably would have just been cussing them both out for putting themselves in danger like this, but Mac didn’t have a lot of room in his head for things that weren’t connected to keeping Riley alive just then.

Life had been pretty good for Mac recently. Which of course meant he should have been prepared for the cosmic kick in the balls that came with their next mission.

you are fine and fierce and beautiful when you’re at rest, too.

Mac flinches out of oblivion, and he thinks he might throw up. His entire body feels brutally jarred, shaken. He hit the ground and expected the agony of it to follow, but nothing comes.

Just a deep, unrelenting exhaustion.

He draws heavy, panting breaths into his flattened lungs.

The world shakes under him. It takes far too long for Mac to realize it’s not the world trembling, it’s him. Harsh shudders wrack his frame and all he has the strength to do is lay there and try to piece himself back together.

OR,

Mac has the worst acid trip of his life.

Another pair of hands wrap around Mac's other arm and heave him bodily into the open trunk.

He starts struggling again when the realization hits him. He kicks out with his legs when they’re maneuvered into the trunk and he gets a slap in the face for it that makes his vision go gray and fizzle out briefly.

When he comes back to his senses, the trunk slams shut and he’s in the dark, the confined space lit red by the taillights. The brightness of the lights makes the sharp pain in his skull spike fiercely and he cringes inward.

i really wanted to have my macgyver fic posted tonight but it's currently midnight and im traveling tomorrow so it's definitely not happening which MEANS. i get to share a snippet of it here for you guys :]

---

Mac purposefully avoids looking at his reflection, quickly turning his back to the small mirror hanging over the sink as he changes into the new clothes. He stumbles and almost falls over several times, unsteady on his feet and still working through the dizziness. He’s out of breath by the time he’s done, leaning heavily against the bathroom wall.

He stares at his hands again, covered in small cuts and dried mud. Mud from the grave he just crawled out of.

His breathing stutters in his chest. Mac pushes off the wall.

Still ignoring his reflection, he turns on the tap. He winces when he shoves his hands under the icy spray, uncaring about the temperature.

He doesn’t care. He just needs to get it off. He grabs a towel and starts scrubbing harshly. The water slowly becomes lukewarm, more bearable for his reddened fingers.

Mac pays it no mind. He stares at the brown water swirling in the drain.

He scrubs and scrubs and scrubs until his skin is pink, until the cuts caked in mud and grime are clean and bleeding again. The water turns from brown to pinkish. Mac’s hands are shaking again. The tremors run up his arms and he blinks through the tears blurring his vision.

It’s not enough.

Mac scrubs trying to get rid of the damned mud.

A sob catches in his throat when it just won’t come free.

It’s under his shredded fingernails. It hurts to scrub at them, but Mac doesn’t care about that.

The mud clings to him. To his clothes, to his skin, to his hair. Everywhere. It won’t come out. Mac can’t get it out.

His chest hitches. The tears burn hot in his eyes and a few escape when he blinks.

The skin of his hands is irritated and raw from so long under the water. The waterlogged towel is stained with blood and mud. Mac drops it like it burned him.

He finally looks up and meets his eyes in his reflection. He barely recognizes the face in front of him.

His face is pale and streaked with flaking dirt. His hair is tangled and nearly black with dried mud, the bright bathroom light glinting off the few blond strands that peek through. The eyes that stare back are blown wide, pupils dilated. They’re rimmed with red and shadowed purple, making them look slightly sunken and giving Mac a haunted appearance.
