Pilar and Amelia musings--repost

"wolfatworldsend said: Pilar, if you please! They’re all great, but I’ve missed her."

PILAARRRR. Watching the boys be silly and ridiculous and thinking she is above that, because at least she *knows* what she wants. (Wicklow is her little brother, and she has killed and would die for him, but he has no idea of anything that isn’t his electronic toys or killing people.)  So she knits sometimes, or cleans her guns, and watches them. She watches from a distance, up on rooftops, after Amelia is brought in to their team officially. Learns how she fights, and the way she moves. Notices again her confusion about herself, and those who notice her.

Pilar isn’t like Rhoades, but maybe is just a *little* bit like Rhoades, and maybe she makes a ladyfriend or two along the way, and she’s not as obvious as Rhoades about it. But she leaves hints, enough for Amelia to see and guess and know. And blush. And wonder. And glare.

Aaaahhhh imagine a universe where Amelia is all spiky with jealousy and doesn’t even get it, and you could do like, any, version of her getting snarly with everyone, only to avoid Pilar, which will not do. So Pilar might have to hunt her down a little, just to keep her in sight.

And Pilar confuses the ever loving shit out of her with gifts. Leaving scarves on her pillow (oh god like, when she was asleep even? because Amelia is good but Pilar is the best at sneaking up on people.)

Amelia kissing her for the first time maybe? Hesitant and then embarrassed when Pilar smiles. Like it’s a joke. Like *she’s* a joke. And then they have a mission or something, and Pilar is happy but also frustrated, because Amelia won’t come near her.

And then someone should be in danger! Aaaah Pilar could get trapped by herself saving the others, or maybe injured enough that she can’t join them right away, and Amelia (and Wicklow, I’m sure, but maybe he doesn’t find her first) comes to get her, and she is so spiky! and pissed! and dangerous! Pilar is so! smitten! and proud of her!
