Another scenario... Mac have a date with she-nit but don't go because he is worry about Stella. She had a hard case and he know she need someone for her. We see mac go in Stella's apartement (or his apartement where Stella is...) Did you see casino Royal? One of last James Bond Film. There are scene where the james bond gilr are under the shower, She cries and james Bond joins her. They wear clothes and there are nothing. They don't kiss eachother. She just cries on his shoulder. For me it's one of the most romantic scene and I wanto to see a scene like this. Like Mac go in his apartement and find Stella in the shower crying. He join her and take her in his arms let her cries because she need this. And we saw she-nit alone waiting Mac.....:guffaw:
I think the scene even without she-nit will be so beautifull. It's a scene like love. They're not together but nothing is more important that each other. They are alone in the world and we know they are do for each other.
Please writer if you want more time before put their together OK. But give us more scene like this for satisfy us during the wait... For now it's all I ask. Beautifull scene like that. For me the couple story can wait again little last years or little more. I think we can wait if we so great scene like that. Scene who say us that is just a question of time
Oh wow, that James Bond scene sounds great. I haven't seen the movie yet, must do that soon. I work at a library and we have the dvd, and I can rent it for free. EDIT - I just saw the scene on YT. It's very sweet and romantic, and would work perfectly for Mac and Stella.
Now a scene like that, for Mac and Stella, would be
perfect. There wouldn't even need to be a kiss or any nudity. What would be good about a scene like that is that non-shippers could still see it as a just-friends thing, whereas for us Smacked fans it would be so romantic. I mean, I don't want to see Mac and Stella 'doin' it' on a pool table. I want something more mature, and subtle. I didn't like the pool table thing for D/L, only good thing was Shirtless!Danny. Awww, a shower scene like in Casino Royale, or even a scene like that (Stella crying, Mac hugging her, her crying on his shoulder) would work in the locker room, or her office or one of their apartments.
Debbie, I do not think Mac could live without Stella, or Stella without him. I just can't imagine the show with just one of them in. Even when I wasn't Smacked, I couldn't imagine that. If Stella died, Mac would fall apart, because she is his light, his strength. I agree too that Stella is what got Mac through 9/11 and losing Claire. If he hadn't had her, he would have retreated into himself completely. She was there for him as a best friend, I think, giving him her strength and compassion, and making him see life is worth living. She's so full of life and so compassionate, she would be able to make him see that. So if she died, Mac would be losing another woman he loved, basically, it would be 9/11 all over again, and Mac couldn't do that again. And I am sure Stella is the reason he stayed in New York. Why else would he stay in the city where his wife died, where all his memories of her are, when every time he sees the skyline he's reminded of her death? The job's just a job at the end of the day, he could be Head of the Crime Lab in some other city. He stayed for Stella, to be close to her. First 'cause they were best friends, and now something more. (Even if neither of them realize it is something more).
Stella couldn't live without Mac either, of course. He is her rock. He is the one who comforts her, who she can talk to, the only one she can show her vulnerable side to, except for Donnie, but even with Don she can't open up as much as she can with Mac. There is no one she trusts more professionally or personally than him. She said she was 'worried sick' about him in 'Hostage', and that really shows how much she needs/loves him. She gets 'worried' about the others, but never 'worried
sick'.
Love your title, btw!:bolian:
