An entire love story could be told with just these two images. I mean, do you even need the context to know all the emotions that were conveyed in this small scene?

Dani: African horned cucumber?

Charlie: Yeah, it’s an ornamental fruit but you can still eat it if you want to.

Dani. Never, ever change your face.  Because the “…fuck me running, FINE.  I WILL ASK.” face is priceless and perfect, OH MY GOD.

Charlie, I love you for breaking Dani in this small way, thus chipping away at the floodgates of her willingness to talk to you.  You’re a bastard for it, but it’s effective!  And done 100% by her own choice! *applause*

Dani: I am standing right next to you. Yes. I felt that.

I have been waiting for this gifset for MY ENTIRE LIFE.  Even when I didn’t know I was waiting for it.  Or before this show aired.  Just.

*cries hysterically*

He loves her.  He loves her.  Enough to give up his life, to take a bullet for her and end Roman so that he can’t touch her again.  And yeah, there was other stuff in play, but THIS SHOW.  IT ANSWERED ITS OWN INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION. 

And she loved him enough to have faith that he would come.  That he’d have a plan and that he’d come for her.  This person who challenged her in ways that she didn’t understand, who helped her without judgment when she needed it, to whom she confessed her lack of faith.  She didn’t have faith and through her friendship, her partnership with Charlie… she found faith.

I love these two so, so much, and it’s because they’re two broken people who found a partner that they care about enough to push past the broken and the pain and to just be there for.

Charlie, you are a little shit sometimes.

That said, his honest, occasional terror of Dani makes me love him more.

Life: one two gifsets per episode

5 Quarts (2x19)

Charlie: So when are you coming back?

Dani: A few days. Just a few things I need to finish up. There still room for me in the car?

Charlie: Right behind the wheel.

MY HEART.  MY HEARTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

THEY JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO SOLVING CRIME AND BITCHING ABOUT DIRECTV IN THE CAR, AND KILLER LAKES, AND THAT SPECIAL ON THE HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS AND GENERALLY BEING GIGANTIC DORKS WHO LIKE TO HANG OUT TOGETHER AND PULL EACH OTHERS PONY TAILS.

Crews: Reese, how long have you been… drinking?
Reese: (defensive) Since I was twelve.
Crews: I meant- today.

I want to take a moment, right here, to point out that Dani just answers him.  Without prevarication or coyness or her normal emotional shut down, she just flat out says “Since I was twelve.”  She automatically assumes he’s going for the deeper meaning/etc, and just tells him.

These two are some of my favorite characters ever written.  And not because it’s a romantic pairing, because while there is the potential there (and it would be balls to the walls HOT LIKE BURNING) their relationship cannot be written off as them falling into romantic love.

SO!  Let’s dig into the old favorite of the four Greek classifications of love.  As I said above, I think that there is an understated, passive amount of Eros between these two.  There is passion for each other, and while the hint of sexual something is there, these two are passionate about each other.  Especially as time goes on.  They both slowly come to appreciate the beauty within the other person.  And while Dani pretty much drops her loyalty and trust in Charlie’s lap and waits for him to break it, so she can let him go… he never does, so that passion for her belief in him and her trust of him… just grows.  And though Charlie carries more appearance of openess, he is JUST as closed off (if not more) than Dani.  I honestly think it takes him actively deciding to trust her reasons for being around Raybourne at the end of season 2 for him to fully and truly commit to Dani as a person.

And the course of the show definitely shows the growing of philia between these two.  Charlie actually develops this type of love towards Dani quite early, though it takes Dani a bit longer towards Crews.  Charlie is DELIGHTED by Dani and her reactions to the world.  Watching season 1, there is usually this glint in his eye when he interacts with her.  He enjoys the hell out of winding her up, and truly enjoys her in a way that really catchs her off guard.  And I’m pretty sure it’s his amusement with and for her that turns the tide and drags Dani along with in the affection and amusement boat.  And a huge, HUGE part of that is how he treats her like his equal and she does the same.  From the very first scene, even if she doesn’t necessarily BELIEVE it, she treats him like a fellow cop, gives him her loyalty, and he does the same.  They talk cases out!  They build on each other’s ideas!  They assume that the other one can keep up!  And all of this leads into this amazing sense of storge.  The warm, familial affection exemplified by their phone conversations at the end of season 2.

And DEAR LORD is the parallelistic wrap up from “Merit Badge” to “One” a big old anvil of agape. Charlie answers his own question to Dani, on whether or not someone has ever loved her enough to abandon everything and die for her.  Her father didn’t.  The ex, who got her hooked and died didn’t.  Tidwell might have, but not in that moment.  Charlie did it with peace and assurance.  He traded his life for hers, with no conditions and pride.  And Dani’s belief, Dani’s faith was not shaken or broken.  She believed that Crews would make something work, and he did.

Actually, I think that theme doesn’t get enough meta in terms of “One”.  A lot of thought and speculation has gone into (at least on my part) the whole sacrifice and one plus one equals one bit.  But the deeper theme, DANI’S theme is one of faith.  Early in season one, they make the point in “Fallen Woman” that Dani has lost her faith.  Charlie speculates it’s because of “a man”.  Which, considering what we know of Dani’s childhood and life, could mean her father, or her ex or another unnamed individual.  He could also have been wrong and that Dani wasn’t being coy when she said she didn’t know if she’d ever had any to begin with.  “One” showed us a restoration, or an inception of Dani’s faith.  And while it might be surface-wise about her faith in Charlie, it goes deeper.  ESPECIALLY if she didn’t have faith to begin with.  She has faith in something, and that is considerably more than she did before.

To wit: OH, GOD.  SEVEN HUNDRED MORE UNINTENTIAL WORDS OF SPEC ABOUT THIS SHOW, I LOVE IT AND MISS IT AND OH, GOD.

Reese: Oatmeal’s $20.
Crews: I’m buying, have two.
Reese: Oh yeah, you’re rich. (pause) I guess you worked for it.
Crews: (shocked) Did you just say something nice to me?
Reese: No. I don’t think so.

THIS SCENE.  Just.  I have too much about this scene that I just can’t parse everything!  There’s Dani and Charlie being all working-class about a restaurant in LA and Charlie being dismissive - SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT WITH THE PRISON AND THE REDUCTION OF MATERIAL GOODS RE: BUDDHIST PRACTICES AND THE FREEDOM OF POVERTY INHERENT IN WEALTH - and Dani being meditative and back to Dani refusing to say anything nice to/about Charlie.

I could, honestly, (and have, really) talk for DAYS about these two and how much I love them and how complex they are and *flails*
