Beth takes care of Rio when he gets sick. Complementary to my original "Sick Day" fic where Rio takes care of Beth. Take place between 2x6 and 2x9.

Alternate ending for 2X12. Beth and Rio own up to hurting each other.

- Rio and Beth teach other their hobbies, starting with Rio giving Beth tennis lessons. Takes place sometime between 2x5 and 2x9 Rio played tennis the way he had sex. It was an intense push and pull, taking all of her physical and emotional strength, leaving her body drained. They ended each lesson battling each other, drenched in sweat and adrenaline.

this is a "what if" that turned into a monster: what if beth and rio were around the same age? what if they both went to high school in detroit? what if they met as teens and their chemistry was off the charts? what if he wasn't always cagey and secretive? what if - for just a short time - she didn't put everyone else first?

anonymous said: Brio: after Rio says Beth is just work, Beth disappears for a few days. Annie rushes to Rio for help finding her and together the look for Beth. Maybe have backstory of her doing this before like their mom. And they find Beth hiding in a motel or something. "you know, last time you ladies called me up - " he doesn't even get the sentence out before ruby is stop

O O - "we're free." she says it brightly — maybe too brightly — with a practiced smile perfectly plastered over her lips. she needs to sell this, beth knows, because in order for ruby and annie to be on board, they have to see her confidence, they have

This is a list of brio prompts that I thought of but don't have time to write. Comment if you use one :) Prompt 5: College!Beth goes to a frat party to surprise college!Dean and catches him cheating on her. She decides to get hers with the hot guy selling drugs to dumb frat guys.

Meet Danny Marks; she's feisty, strong and beautiful.  She's also Beth and Annie's younger sister who moved away when she was 19 to study in London. But now she's back after eight years, only to find out her sister's and their friend Ruby have been up to no good. Laundering money for a notorious gang...that can't be good. Will Danny snitch...or join them?

prompt from msnikkimoneypenny: Beth going into avoidance mode after Rio said she is just work. So she tries to avoid eye contact as much as possible to avoid looking at him. She feigns being preoccupied looking somewhere else or on her phone. Til Rio tries to reestablish their intimacy. - set after 2x12

msnikkymoneypenny said: Rio acting clearly shaken and feeling raw that Beth has seen where he stays this didn't exactly turn out the way i intended but the thought was "what if rio had cameras on his place" and then just became a scene retelling - first attempt from rio's POV so be gentle

jessica said: Okay, I would absolutely LOVE if you did a prompt for the end of 1.03, when Rio is in Beth's kitchen after she leaves her pearls at the warehouse. - if she wants to rationalize it - they all still need the money. they hadn't gotten any from the last haul - because mister gangbanger with his golden gun had demanded payment in full ( yes, she realizes they'd u

maybe that smile comes from a place of amused cruelty, maybe he's laughing at her in that way he always does. but maybe - maybe he's a little bit impressed with her presence in his bedroom, and that she'd decided not to take this little blackmail plot of his lying down. she definitely doesn't think to glance at the bed on the tail end of that thought. but maybe she's losing a bit

based on a headcanon by msnikkimoneypenny on tumblr, and with her permission to expand upon it.

she hears his voice first, and for a moment beth finds it odd that she hadn't sensed his presence, felt him in her space the way she always seems to when he's near. but maybe she'd given up the right to feel him. maybe she'd given up everything.

she doesn't want to think of goodbyes and last times and what happens once this is all over and he's not in her bedroom anymore, and she's not his partner anymore, and then they're nothing to each other again. she doesn't want to think. so she steps closer, and he meets her half way.

An imagining of what Beth and Rio's text chain looks like ever since Annie gets his phone number from Eddy.

*Starts after 2x10* They meet at the swing sets every Thursday now. The routine happens without either of them asking or planning. They meet late, always when the park is mostly empty. Beth brings Emma, Rio brings Marcus. This hour becomes an unspoken truce. The rules are unspoken. They never talk about business. They never miss a Thursday.

The room was full of people and music and the noise of a great party. But suddenly there was a change in the air, a charge that prickled her skin. She shifted her gaze toward the shadows across the room. There he was. Rio. Looking at her with those dark eyes as if she was the only person there.

Beth and Rio finally open up during an unexpected game of truth or dare. Takes place during the 2x09 bedroom scene.

Post 2x09

They don't remember it, but Beth and Rio met as teenagers. Note: I believe there's about a four year age difference between Beth and Rio and this story is based on that.

Rio takes care of Beth when she gets sick.

Beth thanks Rio for returning Jane's dubby with a gift of her own. /Rio opened the box carefully, pausing at the simple note she placed inside the box. "Thank you, - B." She didn't know how to sign her name. He called her Elizabeth but she didn't go by that. She went with B, her initital, the initial for what he called her sometimes, a boss bitch. He could interpret how we wanted.

Beth had always liked things in a proper order. Everything in their perfect little slots, from her books and cds to her relationships and her schooling and her future. Life needed order. A Beth-centric brio fic. Beth loses control.

Beth and Rio reach a truce. Rio moves his hand under Beth's, sliding his fingers between hers. He's holding her hand. Plainly and simply. But it feels romantic and erotic, and he's never enjoyed holding anyone's hand as much as this. Never.
