#yeahhhhhh!!!!!

oh no of course. it’s a totally normal au so yeah why would you

send me an au (mine or an idea u got!) and i’ll give you some headcanons!

so jack’s dad was a cop, which is complicated, because jack’s dad was an asshole.

but jack thought it was something that he could do better? like he never saw his dad as a cop just that his dad was an asshole and a cop as well. so the idea of doing it better, being the hero, seduced him into it… so jack’s hatred of the NYPD is much more systematic than davey’s because. that’s literally how they got his ass. and he’s sooo ashamed of it so it’s both a guilt complex and a driving force behind his work, which are my favorite kinds of characters.

jack is alsooooo not an alcoholic but not…… not…… he has an issue let’s call it

also he’s not adverse to blood, but he actually really doesn’t like it. like he’ll look away from a body when he can afford to.

most of my daveys are rationalizers and justifiers, whether it be funneling his own emotions or defending his actions. historically bad at being wrong, especially since he rarely is. but when he is, this davey specifically is… ugly about it. he’s uncomfortable with being wrong, and when he knows he is, he’ll nitpick and criticize and rip into the person who is right’s way of working. petty, as all the greatest daveys are <3

davey also has very few pictures of his family like on display in his apartment. not like he doesn’t have any, but for him, it distracts him since he’ll get emotional and therefore distracted.

charlie morris is the best character (headcanon). it’s a fact i’m joking

but is more of a little brother figure than i normally make him (despite. ok bfu is an outlier he’s young in that) like he’s five years younger than jack, finished college like a couple years prior. he’s also a really good sketch artist because jack taught him

he also very accidentally stumbled into whatever profession this is.. like he studied biomed in college and thought he was going to work in labs for the rest of his life, which was fine, since that’s not too much movement for him and also solid in like. job retention. but in the meantime he was going to do some assistant work. but jack’s ad for an assistant did not indicate the forensics of it all, so c didn’t learn on the fly per se bc it’s his background, but his detective work is seriously extremely impressive since that was newer for him.

basically he’s the genius of this story. big shock rizz gives charlie the coolest parts of the aus they write

finally we have katherine. and katherine is a reporter, which is bad. which can be good. but while kath is more protective of jack because of their personal history, i will say that she will stop at nothing for a good article.
