Summary
'Instinct told him he should be reaching for the gun before Frank could, but the mix of shame, exhaustion, soreness, sensitivity and sogginess made movement seem quite impossible. Frank was on his feet first, River barely gathering himself enough to pull up his trousers and sit before Frank had a gun trained on his head.
River looked up at him, unable to look away. He didn’t know what he expected to find in Frank’s eyes but hesitation, reluctance, wasn’t quite it.'
Or, River and Frank's tussle in the Pembrokeshire snow takes a strange turn, and everything changes.

Summary
River had long been Lamb’s wannabe action hero, always dashing off on his own to follow some hunch without letting Lamb or the rest of the team in on the plan. Suffice it to say, River Cartwright was a thorn in his side—no, the thorn in his side. But even Lamb had to admit, River had for once pulled out some genuinely solid tradecraft. How very on-brand that he’d immediately followed it up by accidentally touching a poisoned doorknob and landing himself on life support, like some bizarro Sleeping Beauty.
Lamb frowned, then stiffly reached out and gave River’s calf a brief squeeze.
River's life hangs in the balance. Some of his colleagues gather at the hospital to learn his fate.
Book-canon compliant, but characterization closer to the show.

Summary
Louisa thinks she’s finally found a path out of Slough House; an escape that feels more and more necessary after the one person that made it bearable disappeared; because her stupid friend, maybe her only friend, who was always racing off and getting himself in trouble, without stopping to think, without stopping to tell her that he wasn’t lying dead in a bathtub, chunks of his face peeling off the wall, had been missing for over a year after being kidnapped at gunpoint from an Mi5 convoy on Gresham Street.
But when she gets caught up in an attack on her new workplace, Louisa is certain she’s only barely meeting the promise she’d made not to die in Slough House; until she recognises the dark hooded figure covered in blood slaughtering her colleagues, and deals with a difficult reunion.
