Day 5: “Come On Closer”. Henry Prescott/Donald Ressler.

Day 5: Come on Closer

Red braced himself against the car door, his cuffed hands gripping the leather seat in front of him as the driver took a violent turn around the corner – tires squealing over the tar.

This was not exactly how he had planned his Saturday morning. But somethings just could not be helped. Particularly your own kidnapping. 

They all righted again with a jerk. The driver clapped off a few choice insults in Arabic, his voice high with growing panic.

“You should listen to your friend,” Red drolled, “The FBI are quite adamant to have me in their possession, and this won’t end well for either of you.”

The passenger turned in his seat, whipping out his pistol to point straight at him, “Shut up!” he snapped and sat back.

Red shrugged, “Only trying to be helpful.”

Another violent jerk tossed him to the right side this time. He once again grabbed the seat, the ensuing momentum making his insides churn. Damn, he hated car chases. When he righted, they were next to the ocean, still keeping a blistering pace.

The driver’s voice climbed higher up on the panic threshold, and Red peered around the seat. He smiled.

Charging down towards them was a black FBI SUV, and by his guess, it was most likely Donald.

“He’ll swerve!” snapped the passenger.

“He won’t,” said Red, already grabbing the seat belt to click into place. “I can guarantee you that.”

Another few panicked words were exchanged, should they slow down, or keep going? The gunman glanced at Red then at the driver, his face was soaked in sweat his eyes shining bright with fear and terror, but also thick with anger. “Don’t swerve. They don’t want to hurt him!”

“You’re going to play chicken with a man who doesn’t understand the meaning of self-preservation?” he chuckled, then sat back, relaxing his entire body, “I wish you all the luck in the world.”

Another few panicked words, rising higher and higher, until the driver’s nerve faltered and swerved at the last second. 

The impact ripped through his bones, making the car rip and jolt over the tar. Shattered glass shot by him, and for a moment everything spun, he closed his eyes against the nausea, he felt the car tilt, heard the terrified screams of his kidnappers and they came to shaky stand still. The world silent after the screams.

Dazed and out of it, Red shook his head, trying to sit as still as possible. He jumped at the sound of gunfire, two shots, and then his door was ripped open.

Donald, a little bloodied and clearly shaken by the crash was standing next to him. Red offered him a light smile and in an instant, all the tension just seeped out of his body. “Hey,” said Donald, reaching out to the cuffs, “You okay?”

Red held up his hands, “Dazed, but in one piece,” the cuffs clinked open and he rubbed his wrists, “You’re very late Donald.”

He smiled, revealing bloodied teeth. “Yeah?” glancing around he made sure no one was near – his two kidnappers already dead –  before leaning in close to press a quick kiss to his cheek, “I’ll make it up later.”

The ensuing warmth made him smile like a fool, “I look forward to it.”

A/N: Agent Ressler has a death wish. That is all.

First of all, I really appreciate this happening ^-^

Second, are we only allowed to do one ship for the whole week or are we able to do multiple ships?

Hi! We are too :D It’s up to you, really. Whether you’re a proud captain of one, two, three, or more ships, we’re game to see all of them! Just make sure you tag them with event’s tags, respective ship tags, characters, etc. Happy creating!

Good morning, fellas, and let’s roll!

Good morning, fellas!

It’s Day 3: “Hands All Over”. Brush up your memory here: FAQs|Guidelines|Daily Themes|Ship Ideas|

Something to set your creative mood for the day by our glorious host, @yddraigwyllt​

Samar/punching bag

Punch, punch, punch!

Inhale, exhale, inhale again: small fists throw punches into the bag full of sand; the bag spins, the chain rattles, echoing all over the empty gym this early morning.

Punch, punch, punch!

Inhale, exhale—Samar lets a shallow breath, but her lips curve in a wide smile: she’s in a perfect shape, and she knows it. No one in a whole unit cannot compete with her—not now, not ever. 

Punch, punch, punch!

She throws her hair back, straightens her shoulders, and wraps fingers of her right hand around the wrist of the left one. She smiles—she almost smells the hot sand of Negev, sweat, and gunpowder. 

When the time comes, she will be ready to kick the ISIS’ ass.

Daily Themes

You aren’t obliged to stick to the theme per se. Interpret it ANY way you want to, through any medium you have at your disposal.

Day 1: “When I First Saw You”

The scene which made you fall in love with your ship/the first scene your favs meet each other.

Day 2: “Damn Your Eyes”

Is it a stolen glance, seductive gaze, or shameless stare which makes your heart beat faster?

Day 3: “Hands All Over”

They hold hands? Their fingers brush for an instant? Or they are hungry for touch?

Day 4: “The Things You Do Aren’t Good For My Health” or “I’ll Take Care of You”

Whump moments with your favs. If that’s not you jam, alternatively, you may show us the moments they care about each other.

Day 5: “Come on Closer”

Are your favs social distancing these days? Or is it, “ Personal space? What space?”

Day 6: “Nectar Like Lips”// “Whisper My Name”

Did they kiss? They are about to kiss? They are on first-name basis? Their interactions give you tingles?

Day 7: “Crazy in Love”

Tell us what they mean to you, and why you ship them. Use a song, quote, or any scene you think sheds a light on the essence of their relationship.

Bonus day: Free Theme

Anything which pops into your head. Or a daily theme you’d like to repeat once again.

Day 8. Admin finds his stash
