Tuesdays are no better than Mondays: getting up early, trying to wake up your brainbox, scrambling your brain for coherent response… Well, at least, here they call Tuesday the 2nd Monday.

We’re hoping your Tuesday morning is much better than Don’s ;)

Good morning, fellas, and let’s roll!

Day two: Damn your eyes

There has always been something about his eyes that fascinated Red. Donald’s job, his moral compass and his blind loyalty to his ‘FBI’ has always bored him to tears. But his are eyes an entirely different matter.

They are like the coolest pools of green, a sonnet can easily be written of their depths, their sheer intensity, their honesty. His face might be resilient to showing emotions, but they have no such qualms. Burning like fire, freezing like ice, softening like heated butter. They show what he’s thinking – without his consent.

And more often than not, when turned to Red they are hardened like steel, ready to be forged in the fire to be burned into a flaming weapon.

It never fails to make him smile.

Donald is not without passion, not without merits. Red often wonders what it would be like to turn that passion to something of real value. To send Donald into deserts and jungles to liberate those who cannot liberate themselves. He knows he would be marvellous at it. Donald was born to protect and defend; he would take to it like a Knight to his sword.

But it’s not to be. Donald has been sealed into the core of his FBI, he’s been crafted and moulded into something unbreakable. Even if Red could convince Donald that he can help people, the man would never turn his back on his team.

It angers Red, only serving to make him jaded and bitter towards Donald when the thought comes up. Donald takes it, let’s the punches land like bombs against his shields, keeping his face impassive and his words measured.

But his eyes burn, with fire, with anger and brimstone. And Red remembers why he endures all his failings.

He just can’t get enough of them.

TBLRSW Day 2: "Damn Your Eyes"

Red/Cooper

The Blacklist Rare Ships Week, Day 1

When I first saw you/the scene that made you fall in love with your ship

Ah, the romance known as Tessler! Donnie never trusted Tom from the get-go, but this major blow-up really put their love on the map and tested Harold's blood pressure. Also, an unfortunate garden gnome unwittingly played a part in what became a running gag that fans watch for to this day. Come on boys, now kiss and make up!
