Defenders Prompt Fest - Jessica Jones S3 spoiler prompts
This is the post for all prompts containing spoilers for Jessica Jones season 3!
Fills with spoilers may be left for prompts on the main prompt post (please put "SPOILERS" in the subject line so readers will know). You do not have to warn for spoilers here, since spoilers are assumed in all prompts and fills.
Also, the main post is still open for new prompts as well as fills!
Main Defenders Prompt Post | List of Fills
ETA: I'd like to keep this post for prompts and fills, not a general discussion post for the show. So all comments should be prompts, fills, or direct discussion of the story idea in a prompt (e.g. asking for clarifications, offering encouragement, talking over a plot point). Thank you!
FILL: Missing scene, post-S3, Malcolm & Gillian
Malcolm had slouched down the hall in last night's T-shirt and pants -- he didn't feel up to showering and dressing all over again just to go two doors away -- barely awake, so that was his excuse for not noticing that the door to Alias Investigations was ajar until he reached for the handle. The door swung further open, and he saw the window shades were pulled all the way up, revealing scrubbed glass, the floor was neatly swept, and there was a delicious odour of perking coffee just coming to another boil. He stepped inside and said "Ah" when he saw Gillian seated at her desk, eyes fixed on him, hands folded, Le Pliage tote standing to attention on the desktop next to her hands.
Malcolm scrubbed at the back of his neck, embarrassed by his stained shirt and general resemblance to Jess on a morning-after. "Uh. Morning."
Without blinking, Gillian said, "You need me. I know where everything is. And I'm getting a raise."
Malcolm nodded again, slowly, as if he were thinking it over (as if he had a choice). "Coffee come extra, or you throw that in for free?"
Gillian cast down her eyes, which showed off her long fake eyelashes and the dark bronze eyeshadow traced along her lid line, ending in a small cat's eye flick. Malcolm figured if she could manage perfect makeup at whatever ungodly hour she'd probably gotten up, she could handle Jessica's files no problem. She smiled at the ugly scarred fake wood desktop and unfolded her hands, stretching out her fingers. (Her nail polish was the same bronze as her eyeshadow, with a little more glitter.) "Oh, I think you can afford good coffee."
Malcolm gave in, not having the energy to put up a fight against someone who'd brushed their teeth without even needing to. "For now, anyway." He was torn between going back to his place to throw on a new shirt -- one with buttons, all the buttons, even -- and inhaling as much of that coffee as he could, but the smell seemed to lift him off his feet and draw him along against his will, like in an old cartoon. That was definitely not Jessica's can of Folger's that had been there since he'd known her. "You bought something -- new? Yourself?"
Gillian smiled fully at him, opening the bottom drawer to stow her bag away and flicking her laptop on at the same time. "To celebrate our grand re-opening, Valhalla Java." Malcolm opened his mouth to protest but she went on, "Fully tax-deductible as a de minimis fringe for us, as an office expense. See? You need me."*
