Fics like Pushing it down and praying

Its not a love that begins with fire, It begins with restraint. Glances that last too long and hands that almost touch but don't. Twenty years of tension folded neatly into suits and buried in case files. They don't fall in love, they realize that they have been standing in it all along. Grief is what cracks it open. A year after JJ lost Will she has hollowed out and begun rebuilding herself into something quieter, steadier, she tries to put herself back out there in a world full of desire. She dresses for it, sits across from men who look at her like she's a prize. Their words fill the space, but leave her unheard, untouched. But she already knows what it feels like to be seen. Emily never tried to impress her. Never needed to perform. Emily watches JJ date other people and it causes something inside of her to coil. Something deeper. More dangerous. Or: After a year of loss, JJ searches for connection in the wrong places, only to realize the person she had been looking for was right in front of her all along.
