Little headcanons!

[sarcasticsra]

We all have headcanons, of course, and I am super interested in hearing them. But for this topic, I am specifically super interested in hearing all the little details. Like, do you think Harold prefers cherry jam to grape? What's Reese's favorite type of candy?* Is Carter the best at Sudoku? Stuff like that!

(*I feel like even if it isn't peanut butter cups, he'd pretend like it was just to see what Harold would do/say. And for my part I really hope Harold would just calmly tell him to go away for a bit while he processed the fact that he actually likes such a ridiculous human being.)

Here's one from me while I percolate some others: Reese really, really wants to be a dad. More than just a passing desire, he aches to be able to teach a little person how to ride a bike and tie their shoelaces and stay safe and sound and protect themselves from all the bad things in the world.

[sarcasticsra]

Oh, the ouch. But I can see it so easily.

[emef]

ohhhhh yeah I totally agree. I bet he has loads of manpain about it, about the selfishness of bringing a wee human into the world when he might die any time because his job is dangerous! And then the wee human would be alooooone.

[orockthro]

Ahhh yes. Like, he'd never BE a dad, but god he WISHES.

[pendrecarc]

Don't do that to me. :(

[sarcasticsra]

She always does stuff like that. ALWAYS.

[orockthro]

I swear to god it's not my fault. XD

Okay, I keep thinking about this, and screw you. Because now I've got this plot bunny for Dad!Reese.

YOU'RE WELCOME. ;)

[brewsternorth]

That's not canon?

But yes, and ow.

Finch seems content to be Uncle Harold most of the time - the fact that the Machine is sort-of turning into his sentient daughter is clearly freaking him out just a little.

omg :'(

The only way to make this worse is if you imagine he never *let* himself want that in the years he was at the CIA -- and then Leila brought everything to the surface, all the things he buried deep down when he left Jessica behind. He let himself pretend a little, with the diapers and the baby carrier, but it was already too late. The whole thing with Elias was just proof.

*wails*

The whole "do you think we'll ever have children" conversation in that episode totally broke my heart. And how they were both actually quite practical and good with the baby. John obviously likes taking care of people, he just hasn't ever had the chance before :(

I knoooow, it kills me as a character note, that's he's spent his life being used for violence but is capable of such gentleness. Like, when he first holds Leila, he's so 'how do I baby???' but then by the scene in the freezer truck - *cries*

[orockthro]

God damn it Spatz you made it worse (IN THE BEST WAY)

*evil laugh* I really enjoy being mean to John, poor boy.
