Eeeek it should be illegal for how much time it has taken me to sit down and read this (but I wanted to be able to fully sit down and read it and enjoy it)
Duffy is the lowest of the low bars lmao
“Go to sleep. I’ll still be here when you wake up.” - God that's chilling
God poor Louisa being so close to her friend but so fucking far away.
“He’s an ass but he’s not a terrorist,” Emma hissed." - I do love Emma lmao
Wahhh Louisa calling him her partner and thinking he doesn't trust her. He's HER IDIOT. WEEPS AND WAILS. "He’s my partner, and I don’t know how I’ll keep going if he’s another casualty of someone wrongly relying on me." - HEY!
I love Emma and Louisa together, after ultimately the same goal but Emma being stuck in following orders and not knowing all the dirty mi5 secrets like Louisa does. God Louisa being told River was dead, then alive, then almost getting him and then finding out Marcus is dead. WHAT A FUCKING DAY.
God you write the whump so well. Everything else, too, that's why you're such a fabulous writer but I love the whump and everything else it leads to in your works and how you lean into it all. CHEF'S KISS.
Fuck this is so claustrophobic as River slowly, painfuly, realises he's in a fucking cage.
"River froze in place, curled back up into the ball preparing for another kick. Like a gorgon’s gaze, Frank’s voice had petrified River. It shrunk him making him small and vulnerable as he waited for whatever havoc would descend on him next. His body still shook and the horrible ashen taste still rested on his tongue.
“Good to see you awake son, I was started to get worried,” Frank chuckled.
Any hope of getting out fizzled away, as River felt himself start to crack." - SOBSINSANE SOBSINSANE SOBSINSANE
