It's like at some point, their line had become an asymptote, a point they keep inching closer and closer to, but cannot meet, something they just can't touch

"Why we talkin' about this? Why's it always Gill right off, huh?" / "Because you're spineless and you need a good shove?" Emily comes home for a break and finds Cal to be far from what she'd expected.

Cal finally tells Gillian that he loves her. Set after and in season 3. Sadly enough he gets trapped in his own self fulfilling prophecy and pushes her away.

He's still stuck in that eighteen year old's nightmare of learning that his mother had taken her own life. He's still bearing crosses as penance for all that he didn't see, all that he didn't do. Slightly AU. Rated for swearing and talk of suicide

A change in their lives pushes Gillian to approach Cal about their feelings. Inspired by Adele's "All I Ask". Update: final chapter added

She's afraid of the dark again, like a child, now that she knows there are still monsters lurking in it. Post-ep for 1x12 Blinded Update: New chapter added thanks to my overactive muse

It's Cal's birthday and his girls have a surprise for him (established Callian)

For each episode I chose some of the discussions I liked best between Lightman and Foster and added my own sequel of that. The part from the show is highlighted in Italic, the rest is my own take. Drabble

She is the heart of the Lightman group and Lightman himself. They couldn't survive without her. But his inhalations are too quick and sharp, adrenaline raising his breathing rate, and beating this fast is far too strenuous for her. She can't last long this way. (References to Canary's Song, don't mind genres)

Gillian demands an answer from Cal on a very important question. Just a quick scene and a little holiday hope.

My version of the music shuffle challenge. Ten drabbles, mostly of pop punk-y, angsty drama vibes just in time for Christmas ;) with a tiny touch of romance.

Cal is entranced by watching Gillian putting on her makeup. It's like he's looking at a relic, repetition of a memory running through his mind. (Established Callian)

"The irony of her predicament didn't escape her notice. All day she had been convincing others of the need for help and she herself wasn't able to ask for it." Gillian Foster's perspective in the episode, Blinded.

All of her hope was taken with her baby girl. She just needs to feel it again. (Rating for language)

"You think you're too good for me, but you make me good" Inspired by Exposed and a little tidbit from Double Blind

She's always been great at the cleaning up. She's not even sure she knows any way else. Inspired by Canary's Song and Dirty Loyal, Gillian-centric

She remembers losing her own child, but she knows she's never getting her baby back, not like Mr. Donnelly. When is she going to be a part of a family? Post-ep for 2x07 Black Friday, Gillian-centric

Getting snowed in usually consists of sleepover type scenarios: warm drinks, stories and connecting. However, not in The Lightman Group, it is more along the lines of death and danger - just how Cal likes it. Except it is his life on the line for a change and he has to play a careful game with a master criminal.

They have to end this cycle of hurt and repentance, pain and catharsis. They have to stop doing this to each other.

Just a short little tag to S2, E20: 'Exposed'.

He watches her sometimes. "We have to be able to do three things: We have to be able to love what is mortal, to hold it against our bones, knowing our whole life depends on it, and when the time comes, to let it go."

Post Series... Late night confession.

I'll have to make it hurt worse if I'm to save you, so I'll tell you I don't love you until you believe it to be truth. (Post Killer App)

Set just after 2x04 Honey. Gill & Ben start a relationship after Matheson threatens Cal's life, but even though he is half in love with her, he knows Gillian's heart will always belong to Cal. This is Callian, although explored through Gill & Ben

Just a Callian snippet that I had meant to do more with but sorta ended where it was. "I was raised by an emotionally stunted power couple, bent on world domination by way of verbal badgering."
