when danger met desire by Persephatta

Summary
The Phantom sucks in a breath and releases it. "You recognise I am a monster."
She opens her mouth but he holds up his hand and she miraculously remains silent.
"You know what I am capable of yet you ambush me here, in this dark forgotten crevice where no one will find us. If you scream, everyone is too far away to arrive in time, if they even bother."
---
In which, the Phantom is the most feared man in the criminal underworld and Meg might have bitten off more than she can chew.

Summary
Geralt remembered, dimly, the feel of gentle hands on his skin. A hand in his. A kiss pressed to his forehead. A hand touching his sticky, sickly face, and recoiling. A cry of shock and pain. A glimpse of blistered skin.
“How long has it been?” Jaskier said. “Since somebody touched you?”
The mutagens used to make boys into witchers leave poison in their skin, in their hair, in their blood. To touch a witcher is agony. To get too close to one is deadly.
Jaskier doesn't seem to care.

Summary
It’s going to be a good day. A smooth running day. No stress and no distractions. It’ll fly by.
And that’s exactly how the day went. For all of five minutes.
Oh dear. He thinks to himself, as he catches Arthur Parnassus strolling directly towards his desk. Maybe it’s not me he’s coming towards. Maybe he’ll walk straight past me.
“Late night, Mr Baker?” Arthur asks him, a playful smirk on his lips, as he stares down at Linus with those ridiculous intoxicating eyes.

Summary
He punches the outer wall of the dilapidated apartment he's squatting in until his knuckles bleed, something he hasn’t seen in a long time. As he looks at the raw, broken skin, he remembers the calloused hands that used to dress his wounds, rough and dragging on his skin despite the delicate bones of the fingers that cared for him.
The memories of Steve taste like copper, the feeling of skinned knees and scraped knuckles coming back to him at the same time that he recalls sad blue eyes and a drop of blood falling from full red lips.
There's nothing he wouldn't do for Steve and yet, he's been avoiding him for well over half a year now.

Summary
What an awful thing, to be an angel so terrified of the unadulterated love pressed to his lips that he rejected the frightened, vulnerable heart Crowley offered to him. Aziraphale wishes he could go back in time and stop himself, but all he can do is plead for forgiveness.

Summary
Snow had rambled halfway through the brief before he realized that John wasn't paying him any attention: as he trailed off, Kara's gaze jumped from Snow to John, then to the inoffensive, quiet-looking middle-aged man who had followed Snow into the briefing room only to sit in a corner without a word.
"Something on your mind, Agent?" Snow asked irritably.
"Sorry, Mark," John drawled. "It's just that I've never seen a cybrid before."

Acceptable Losses by ChancellorGriffin for binina, convenientmisfires
Fandoms: Person of Interest (TV)
14 Jan 2016

Summary
"There are other things it’s too late to say, but it doesn’t matter now. Words were never his strong suit anyway. He’d said them the only way he’d ever learned how – by stepping in front of the bullet. He has never spoken it aloud, and now he never will, but Harold Finch will know."
Immediately post-S4 finale, "YHWH." John takes a bullet to protect Harold and the briefcase containing the Machine. When he wakes up from his coma four weeks later - very surprised to find himself not dead - Harold can't even bear to be in the same room with him.
It takes a long time for John to figure out why.
