#stottlemeyer

i'll be watching a show and then just start brainstorming for a fic

and then everytime i watch the show after that i'm just assaulted with ideas

to the point where if i'm watching the show i need to have my laptop with me and i pause it every 10sec to get the dialogue right while i figure out how to transcribe the scenes

I'll meet you where the wild things grow | a Leland Stottlemeyer x Original Female Character fic

The Captain of the San Francisco Police Department finds himself growing more attached to a young journalist. Can he hide his feelings from the people around him, including the best detective he's ever known, and his wife?

Finally getting around to sharing this on here! There aren't many Stottlemeyer / OFC fics out there so I wanted to share mine finally! The other main characters from the series do show up but it's mainly about Leland. This is gonna be a slow burn and there will be some triggering and explicit content but I'll update the tags when necessary. I really hope that Monk fans enjoy it!

TW for mental illness mention and brief description of homicide scene.

“It’s…it’s still haunting me. It’s been three years since it all happened…two years since I moved to a totally new country, and it’s still following me around. This constant, crippling cocktail of trauma and illnesses. And emptiness…God, the emptiness. I…I really thought I’d be feeling better now. I feel hopeless.” The young woman has stopped wiping her tears now; instead just letting them flow. Her elbow is rested on the arm of the off-yellow armchair and her hand is balled up into a fist that her cheek is leaning on. She can barely make eye contact with the man opposite her anymore. She feels broken and she feels ashamed to admit it to even him. Dr Kroger closes his file for a moment and readjusts his seating position in the matching yellow chair opposite the woman.
