My take on season one of Veronica Mars. The story starts during 'Weapons of Class Destruction', from when Ben takes Veronica to the Camelot. This is a LoVe story, obviously. Will go a little AU.

Ever since she was a child, Emily Prentiss has become whatever she needs to be to protect herself, and her daemon has too. Ian Doyle has spent his life watching those around him to protect himself and his own. His daemon has too.

Ian Doyle & Emily Prentiss / - In the end it's Emily who lures Tsia into a trap. Her dark eyes filled with rage as she pulls the trigger. And Ian knows, that she is the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. -

When Derek and Casey head to Queen's, they get an apartment together and have to get along. They thought they would try to be friends but is that all they will be or all either of them wants? What happens when their new friends think they are more?

Mickey can't say how he feels for Ian, he just can't, but when Ian gets hurt, he realises that maybe it wouldn't kill him to just show it. Rated M for the language and possible sex scenes later on :
