murray and kattigan honestly should be an all-time m/f ship already and it isn't and that's a crime. their immediate flirtation and attraction cut short by the need to leave town for safety. the promise of actually spending time together cut short by a kidnapping. she tells him they'll have their date next time and he responds "promises, promises." robbie put a song for murray on his playlist.
their interactions are so fun and the reason they've been limited is literally the plot getting in the way of their attempts to get to know each other, which is such fertile territory to explore, rather than "they've barely interacted" being a barrier to the ship, it's part of the actual text of it. they're attracted to each other! they want to spend time with each other! but fate has other ideas!
and that's not even getting into how they parallel each other as the rough and tumble but kind and scrappy folks who care deeply for the young adult "kids" in their protection.
