Why this must be read
Chances are, if you've been in this fandom for more than a month or two, you've been directed to this story as the best possible way to write a Goren/Eames relationship, and that's because it's absolutely, completely, and utterly true.
Goren is mentally unstable, but Eames is not a bastion of normalcy herself, and this story relishes Eames' issues, with relationships, with her job, and with Goren. Tahlia gives us a look at Eames' history, and the way that affects her relationships. She's a strong woman, one of the strongest female characters I've ever run into, and she has to be in order to stand up to the hurricane force that is Bobby Goren. But how does her strength hold up in the rest of her life?
Leather skirts meant date night for Eames, because they didn't mix well with stale coffee, two AM forensic brainstorms, cranky DAs, and long long long interrogations. She partnered with this woman, Sarah Mijares, in Vice, who went to Specials Frauds when Eames moved to Major Cases. Sarah wore a leather skirt now, because she could, because she spent her day maintaining databases of con artists and travelers.
So a leather skirt stayed in the closet, pinned to a dry cleaner's hanger, until called upon. Most times his name was Kenneth or Phillip and he was a lawyer or an accountant. And he was always threatened when she opened her purse to pay the tip and her gun caught the light in the restaurant just right. Sometimes he made a crack about art thieves, armed and dangerous, and then she would misplace his phone number.
