jake peralta/amy santiago

• Disarming by Diaphenia [“I’ve always found you hot,” he said as he freed her arms. “Even though you’re really smart and sort of stuck up. But like the hot kind of smart, you know?” “I’ve always been book smart,” she said, enjoying the feel of his fingers as he slipped them between the fabric of her clothes and the caution tape. “I hope you’ve been reading some dirty books."]
• Bribery Will Get You Everywhere by Marks [Jake gets bribed into visiting Santiago's family for Christmas. It's not bad, but don't tell anyone that.]
• The Unbearable Lightness Of Being A Cop by amathela (Zhailei) [Starring Detective Theodore Bear, New York's Finest (and cuddliest).]
• Hands by Diaphenia [“If we’re going undercover, you’re going to have to be quicker on your feet,” Jake said, insufferably smug. Amy huffed. “Well, this is why I wanted to go over everything with you. Preparation is the soul of... preparedness.”]
• Red Fish, Blue Fish by Kasuchi [Jake beamed back at her, thumb rubbing small circles on the inside of her leg. "No, see, you're slipping, Santiago. I've been on the force for twelve years. I've been around lots of cops, and you're definitely one of the best."]
• The Bet by myrifique [Peralta and Santiago set a date for the end of the bet.]
• Doilies All the Way Down by innie [Amy wins the bet. Jake pays up.]
• five times jake drunk texts amy (and inadvertently makes her smile) and one time she does by crazykrystle [In which Jake texts Amy mostly stupid, occasionally funny, sometimes sweet, and never sober things in the middle of the night (and she always ends up smiling).]
• That's My Kind Of Risk by LaurytheLatrator [Amy smokes. It's not a big deal or anything.(Three moments when Peralta caught Santiago smoking.)]
• Getting it Wrong (Before We Get it Right) by LaurytheLatrator [Their first kiss doesn't come from some big moment. It doesn't come from getting drunk, or a long night siting across from each other at their desks, or even an undercover role-playing gambit. It doesn't come from a heartfelt expression of feelings. No, in typical Nine-Nine fashion, it comes from something stupid. (Jake has a continuing pattern of having realizations at the worst times)]
• Auld Lang Syne by Kasuchi ["It would appear we have a tie," Holt continued, voice neutral. When the bet ends in an unexpected way, both Jake and Amy end up making concessions.]
• If You're Gonna Be a Square (You Ain't-a Gonna Go Anywhere) by Kasuchi [The whole thing leaves him oddly melancholy. Jake hooks up with a number of women, but finds the experience is varying degrees of satisfying.]
• If You Like Piña Colada by pyrodynamo [So a while back, Jake maybe writes a list. On the top, underlined twice, he’d scribbled, things that I maybe kind of are okay about Amy Santiago. It quickly deteriorated into a list that sounded like the worst I think I like-like her novel ever written.]
• the little ones are climbing up the walls by cashewdani [Her name was next on the list. That’s how she became Tess’ godmother.]
• too long on the borderline by mrs_nerimon [They haven’t seen each other for nearly five months, he’s supposed to be working undercover, and she’s got soy sauce spilled on her shirt.]
• time flies like an arrow (fruit flies like a banana) by birdbox (Bella_Barbaric) [There was a time when Amy didn't believe she'd ever consider the irritant extraordinaire (her words) Jake Peralta a friend, but right now it's his friendship she misses, mostly.]
• as cuddly as a cactus by hardlygolden [“There is an elf. On my shelf,” Captain Holt pronounces. It’s entirely possible he sounds more aggrieved than usual - Jake can never tell. Amy’s frowning though, and as the leading inhouse expert on all things Holt, she’s most likely frowning because he’s unhappy. Or she could be frowning because she just remembered she forgot to floss that morning. “I didn’t put it there,” says Amy. “ - Name of your sex tape!” Jake says, because it’s basically a reflex at this point, like punctuation, except he doesn’t use punctuation so that’s a bad example. Scratch that analogy! But the point remains. Amy’s biting her lip. Maybe it’s the floss thing after all. “You misunderstand,” says Captain Holt. “I placed the elf on my shelf.” There is a long pause. “His name is Jingles,” Captain Holt offers, as if this will clarify proceedings. Jake blinks. Twice.]
• denial isn't just a river in egypt by crazykrystle [Five times the words "we're not dating" comes out of Amy Santiago's mouth and one time it doesn't.]
• one, two, three, four by theundiagnosable ["Guys, meet Detective...” “Santiago. Amy Santiago.” (or: How Jake and Amy Become Jake And Amy)]
• the pen is mightier than the sword (but the sword can totally cut your head off, so) by stardusting [It’s idiotically simple, really, and she’ll later deny it to the ends of the earth, but Jake is wearing glasses and plaid and he looks exactly like every stock photo of every quasi-nerdy guy she’s ever seen. Is it off-putting? A little. Does she like it? Yes.]
• Decaf Ginger and Lemon Tea by RubyCaspar [Five years later, Amy bumps into Sophia in a coffee shop.A lot has changed, not least what Amy is ordering these days.]
• you fill my head with pieces of a song i can't get out by emilybrontay [He and Gina are half way through a game of Bertie Botts Roulette, where the aim is to eat the grossest looking bean with a completely straight face, and even though it is killing him Gina’s winning, possibly due to the fact that she seems to find nothing disgusting (she eats an earwax flavoured bean with little more than a ‘ooh, tangy’. Sometimes Jake wonders if she is a real person) when a small dark haired girl already dressed in her Hogwarts robes comes marching in to their carriage – “this is a private party,” Gina says drily – and demands to know if they had seen a toad.]
• and the camera flashes (make it feel like a dream) by ladililn [Amy Santiago is an Academy Award nominee. Jake Peralta's tux has four buttons, so she can't be held accountable for what happens next. (Sex. Sex happens.)]
