Daniel and Kate: Fifty Things
By: DemonClowSorceress
Number thirteen brings me to a new favorite pair, Dr. Daniel Pierce and Kate Moretti!
Disclaimer:...Nope, Perception doesn't belong to me. Dammit.
#1 - Puzzles
They're very good at solving the mysteries of why people do what they do.
#2 - Aliens
Teasing Kate was a rare pleasure, especially when she actually thought he believed in the conspiracy.
#3 - Routine
While it kept him sane, he longed for a challenge to spark his interest.
#4 - Mumble
Sometimes it's hard to distinguish if he's talking to her or his newest hallucination.
#5 - Divorced
The thought that someone would ever hurt Kate that way...it made Daniel seethe.
#6 - Rexford
No way would she let him go through that alone. Never again.
#7 - Bar
A familiar place, and yet a new experience. The fact that he knew the owner's daughter helped immensely.
#8 - Claustrophobia
Daniel's grip on his briefcase tightened when he realized that they were trapped.
#9 - Agreement
He practically forgot the promise until she cornered him in the elevator.
#10 - Garage
Once, he was able to show just how deeply he cared about her. It haunted him long after his mind returned.
#11 - Wet
"You know, sane people don't usually jump into the river after evidence."
#12 - Cubs
Watching a game on his couch beat stadium seats any day.
#13 - Signals
Hearing her tear his assumptions apart shouldn't hurt this much. But it did.
#14 - Donnie
"Narcissistic personality disorder? Use the vernacular - he was being a dick."
#15 - Oz
His choice for a Halloween costume was both appropriate and somewhat ironic.
#16 - Heliacal
"There they are," Daniel said, pointing to the cluster of stars that shone brighter than the rising sun.
#17 - Sparkling
Something about this undergrad had Daniel making an effort to learn her name.
#18 - Class
It was a core requirement for her major.
#19 - Pain
"Daniel, look at me! Keep looking at me!"
#20 - Childhood
"You haven't spoken to me in years, Daniel. You must really be scared of something."
#21 - Father
Kate felt somewhat awkward talking to the man who raised Daniel. Especially given the circumstances.
#22 - Party
"Well, at least the tea's halfway decent...shut up, Natalie."
#23 - Alternate
Caroline knew she'd never be the woman he wanted. Until he figured that out, she's be the one he needed.
#24 - Chalk
"Hold still, you've got a..." she said, swiping her thumb across his cheek.
#25 - Natalie
"Daniel, you're out of time. Either let her go back to D.C. once and for all, or tell her and hope to God she stays."
#26 - Harbinger
Daniel immediately knew this hallucination was different from all the others.
#27 - Tremors
It got so bad that making a fist didn't stop his hand from shaking.
#28 - Kilimanjaro
"Aw dammit," he muttered when he saw DJ sitting in the front row with that punk-ass smirk on his face.
#29 - Humiliation
She was vibrating with rage as that arrogant asswipe continued to verbally beat Daniel down.
#30 - Children
"You know there's a theory that believes paranoid schizophrenia is passed down genetically, right?"
#31 - Episode
Sometimes she caught him. Sometimes he'd try to hide it, and she still caught him.
#32 - Ghost
"But...but I'm right there! What's going on?"
#33 - Madcap
Most people would call her reckless, but Daniel knew she was a woman of action, not words and red tape.
#34 - Babble
He was completely surrounded by unfamiliar people. Or was he?
#35 - Crush
"I thought it would fade away, but it...it only got stronger."
#36 - Upgrade
When his cassette player finally croaked, Kate let herself get dragged across Chicago in search for another.
#37 - Bach
Amid the dulcet sounds of the cello, Daniel quietly told her about his mother.
#38 - Lewicki
Although he wouldn't always be there, he knew the Doc would never be alone.
#39 - Break
"Go away! GO AWAY! YOU'RE NOT REAL, DAMMIT!"
#40 - Medicated
He was still Daniel, but not the Daniel she knew. Not the man she loved.
#41 - Delusional
She had to be as crazy as Daniel to believe this was actually happening.
#42 - Urge
He had to squash his, she had to curb hers. Between the two of them was a chasm of desires that neither thought the other felt.
#43 - Scare
Impulse made him hug her. For the briefest moment, he'd thought she wasn't real.
#44 - Neuroscience
It seemed the best course of action, learning more about why the brain could do what it did.
#45 - Reality
When he opened his eyes, he thought he'd lost his mind again.
#46 - Karaoke
Her grip on her mic tightened as the song blasted through the speakers.
#47 - Tux
God, he really did clean up well.
#48 - Reputation
They're known as "the Nutty Professor" and "the mad Doctor's keeper." Rarely is one seen working without the other.
#49 - Piano
Very few people were granted a private concert.
#50 - Partners
Alone, they faltered. Together, they could take on anything.
These two are gonna be so cute, I can tell!
So, one-shots? Anyone? Review and lemme know!
