every word's a new regret if you say it right

Snow White and the Huntsman

I hold with those who favor fire by kaydeefalls
The captain of her guard accompanies her wherever she goes, of course, ever watchful, and she sometimes catches him smiling at her out of the corner of her eye, when he thinks she's not looking. She knows he loved her before she was ever a queen, but still, she can't help but take a girlish pride in the ever-growing respect she sees in his eyes. She's not doing this for her Huntsman; but in a way, perhaps she is. For the embittered soldier he had once been, the grieving widower, the angry drunk, the desperate lout. For the women with scars cutting down their cheeks and the children orphaned by endless wars, for the men who'd stared at her white horse with hungry eyes and the Huntsman's wife who'd fought so valiantly and so futilely against Ravenna's desires. She avenges them with every stalk of wheat, every apple and every pear, every child who no longer has to go to bed hungry. Evocative and lovely.

The Unusuals

the delicate art of partnercare by topaz
This captures the Walsh/Schraeger relationship perfectly. And Casey is an awesome partner. "Wait, wait," Casey says into her cell. "Say what you just said again."

"Come on, Schraeger, keep up here," Walsh answers. "I said, I need you to do me a favor and go by that high-end sex shop over in Soho and buy me a vibrator."

"That's what I thought you said," Casey sighs. She pinches the bridge of her nose and wills the CrazyTuesday headache away. Davis arches an eyebrow at her and she smiles at him, mouthing Walsh and drawing an air circle next to her temple in the universal sign language for My partner is fucking batshit. "I know I'm going to regret asking, but why exactly do I need to buy you a vibrator?"

Stays a Secret Between Me and Me by BlackEyedGirl
Walsh does have a great ass, his smile does go slanted when Casey surprises him, and she's still not sad that he's off-limits, because he's happy now and Casey doesn't actually want to date him. But she does look sometimes, because why not? She still thinks it could have been nice to roll into bed with him once, wake up in a strange bed and not think about anything more troubling than whether or not this was one of the mornings Walsh had somehow managed to ruin coffee. He would lend her a shirt, because he's that kind of guy, and he wouldn't make any bad jokes, because he isn't an asshole. I could see the show going this route with Casey and Walsh, where there aren't any romantic feelings, but Casey wonders about the sex.
