Head-canon meme

As ganked from karaokegal.

How about headcanons? Reply with a name, along with a topic, or word and I'll tell you my head-canon for it.

List of fandoms I've written for at one time or another is on my profile page, and interests may also suggest topics. Please bear in mind, some fandoms may have fallen by the wayside and I'm not necessarily current with them (I stopped watching House MD, for instance, during the Tritter arc).

Backstory to warm your heart

Can't have you dying on me! Besides, head-canon makes 'em fair game.
And I think I've got Three Investigators listed in "Interests", so....


Agents are being encouraged to use their accumulated vacation time, and Spencer has quite a bit accumulated. He goes to conferences, presents papers and winds up in LA.

Jupiter was planning to attend Spencer's LA lecture, but Aunt Matilda had an episode (she's on the decline) so he was forced to forego it. He's resourceful; he finds out which hotel Spencer is at, calls and invites him to dinner in Rocky Beach. Knowing an FBI agent is going to be wary under the circumstances, he offers the RB chief of police as a reference.

Being prudent, Spencer gets Garcia (also involuntarily vacationing) to look up this unknown person who's just contacted him. He's getting tired of hotel rooms, and as long as Jupiter Jones isn't some kind of nutjob, it sounds like a congenial diversion. Garcia's epic google-fu pulls up some of the Three Investigators more prominent cases, as well as some of Jupe's own achievements. (He's certified in scuba and has a private pilot's license.) She gets a call on her other line before she can fill him in on the Baby Fatso years, which is a Good Thing.*

They meet up at a seafood restaurant called Neptune's Reef. The owner, Stavros (formerly Steve Jenks) was Jupe's first relationship. Jupe doesn't go into details about that; instead, he recounts how he and Steve recovered the treasure that allowed him to quit being a caterer's assistant and open his own place.

Spencer's impressed and a little wistful. Here's this guy who's a couple years younger than he is, and he's had all these adventures! Look at all the cool stuff he did while Spencer was hitting the books! What are a handful of doctorates compared to finding treasure and solving mysterious puzzles? (What he does for a living doesn't count. That's all serious, life and death stuff.)

For his part, Jupiter is intrigued by Dr. Reid, who's younger and cooler than he expected from reading his published papers. And he has HOW many degrees? Jupe envies that; his Uncle Titus died shortly after his high school graduation, he bypassed college to help Aunt Matilda. (Although he's sampled the local community college and taken online courses.)

When Jupiter gets a call that Aunt Matilda is having difficulties, their dinner is cut short, but they've exchanged info and promise to keep in touch.



* In one version, Jupe also joins the Bureau as a consultant. Garcia makes the mistake of fangirling Jupe as Baby Fatso, which earns her a death glare and ongoing hostility until she can assuage his ire.

Edited to add: you do NOT have Three Investigators listed as an interest. Just so you know!
