And deffinetly my favorite:

Flynn:

-who is more often the shoulder to cry on? 

I feel like this could go either way, but both would be hesitant to actually cry on each other’s shoulders. Neither of them do it often, but sometimes, something reminds Garcia of Iris, or Rufus misses his family, and, well... Emotions happen. 

-who enjoys hugging more? 

Neither of them will admit to it, but both are actually pretty okay with it. Garcia probably enjoys it a little more, just because he’s so touched-starved in general.

-who is always the one to ask for relationship advice?

Garcia, because Rufus and Jiya may not always have a “perfect” relationship, (there’s really no such thing,) but they sure as heck have it together better than Flynn at this point.

-who feels like they are the more dependent one?

Neither, I don’t think? Rufus knows he can function on his own. Garcia knows he can function on his own. They’re both pretty good on that front. 

-favorite thing to do when they hang out? 

I feel like they watch a lot of older sci-fi shows together. Once Rufus finds out that Garcia is secretly a giant dork, it’s all over; Twilight Zone marathons, X-Files marathons, and of course Star Wars and Star Trek marathons. 

-do they have silly nicknames for each other? 

No. Garcia tries it. Once.

-how do they make each other laugh? 

Mostly by sassing Wyatt under their breaths, tbh, but basically anyone they can judge together leads to laughter.

-who is more responsible? 

Rufus. Hands down.

-the song they jam out to together? 

Not that there’s any proof, but they definitely have all the words to every sci-fi intro song memorized. And sing them together, while refusing to acknowledge it later.

-first to say “you’re my best friend”?

Oooo. Interesting. This would be... Because Rufus has Lucy (and sometimes Wyatt) as best friends. And Garcia would probably call Lucy his best friend (because “love of my life” is a little intimidating when she doesn’t know that yet). So I feel like it’s one of those days where Wyatt and Lucy are a little too on edge around each other, and Rufus just ditches them and plops down next to Garcia. “Nope. Not dealing with them anymore today. You’re my best friend now.” 

-who buys the other really extravagant gifts on holidays?

Garcia, definitely. He’s as dramatic with gift-giving as he is everything else. (Rufus just buys him a mug that says “World’s best teacher,” crosses out “teacher,” and writes “assassin” on it. Garcia isn’t sure how to feel about it.) 

“Platonic cuddling” fill for the Found Family Bingo, Flynn&Jiya+Rufus, it’s set in the middle of this other fic, so maybe you should check that out for context.

He was so quick to flee, his body panicking for air that had been sucked out of the room by Lucy’s words, that he only realizes that he has gotten out when the chilly air hits him in the face and the door closes behind him.

There isn’t much to do besides following his legs’ instinct to carry him away from there, away from — away from Lucy, which is the very last thing he thought he’d ever want. Lucy was always his lighthouse, his beacon of hope even in the darkest of times, she — she is not someone he is supposed to need to escape from.

They are only words, he tries to remind himself. She only said a few words, there is no need to — hell, he did so much worse to her. She still sleeps soundly beside him every night, does she not?

But then again, she was always better and stronger than he could ever hope to be.

He hates fighting with her. He hates the way he gets when they fight, how his ugliness starts creeping out when the only thing that he can see is how much of a danger the world poses to his girls, but — but how can he ignore it? He allowed himself that luxury once already and —

Lucy’s words cut through his head once again, cold and unforgiving, reminding him of what happened to the last child unlucky enough to call him her father. He knows that what happened is on him, that he might not have pulled the trigger but Iris and Lorena died as a direct result of his actions. He has never stopped shouldering the blame for what he did.

He doesn’t know why it hurts so much to hear Lucy agree.
