Day 7: “Crazy in Love”. Gay!Keenler aka Tom Keen/Donald Ressler

@theblacklistrareshipsweek

Day 8, Bonus Day

Ugh. Look at these two: Thomas Vincent Keen and Special Agent Donald Ressler. They're like two magnificent, sexy beasts, seemingly always at odds. Forever enemies, never friends. Constantly in heat.

Sometimes circumstances create unexpected alliances. The notorious blacklister Karakurt had to be delivered safely to testify in court. Along the way, he had to be kept from the clutches of another blacklister, Matias Solomon. Holed up in Harold Cooper's woodland cabin, the tiger and the lion were forced to team up when Mr. Solomon brought a heavily armed posse down on them. Just when it appeared they had failed, and Tom was throwing his usual witty insults at Donald, Cooper got the jump on Solomon and the good guys were once more in control -- after Tom talked Donald down from executing Solomon right there on the spot.

Thus, it appears even two men who, on the surface hate the mere sight of the other, can sometimes work together. Hell, sometimes they might even like each other for a minute. #Tessler

Day 5, "Come On, Closer"

It starts with that little tip-up of the chin: Ressler beckons Tom and his dark, depthless blue eyes nearer. But this time, Tom's guard is down and, before he knows it, Ressler's got him pinned against the wall. When the Agent presses his muscular bulk against Tom's lean frame, it's definitely "Personal space? What space?!"

Day 4, "The Things You Do Aren't Good For My Health"

Before they agreed to team up and fight Matias Solomon and his army of goons, Tom had to go and point a rifle at Donald. Silly Tom! Donnie don't play those kinds of games! #Tessler

Day 3, “Hands All Over”

Now Kiss and Make up

Day 3, "Hands All Over"

There's no denying it: Whenever Donald and Tom got into a fight, it was anything goes and LOTS of physical contact. And look closely at frame #6: Tom had to get in the last "hit", the way he swatted Donald's arm while walking away. You guys just can't keep your paws off each other, can you? #Tessler

Day 2, "Damn Your Eyes"

Even Tom can't resist those ever-changeable hazel Ressler peepers! "Damn, what have I gotten myself into now?" 🤣 #Tessler!

The Blacklist Rare Ships Week, Day 1

When I first saw you/the scene that made you fall in love with your ship

Ah, the romance known as Tessler! Donnie never trusted Tom from the get-go, but this major blow-up really put their love on the map and tested Harold's blood pressure. Also, an unfortunate garden gnome unwittingly played a part in what became a running gag that fans watch for to this day. Come on boys, now kiss and make up!
