Strike Back - Hello // Fast and the Furious - Salt and Pepper

[reinadefuego]

Title: Hello, is it me you're looking for?
Fandom: Strike Back
Rating: T
Notes: title taken from the Lionel Richie song.
Summary: John gets rescued.


John doesn't think it's real at first.

A rescue? No, he's just hallucinating. He's dehydrated and the heat's gotten to him, that's what it is.

Strung up out here, surviving on minimal water, left to burn to a crisp; instead of dying, he thinks about his daughter and whether he's going to make it home.

Suddenly the rope breaks and he falls, nearly cracking his skull open on a large rock.

It's real enough now.

"John Porter?"

"That's me."

A woman lifts him to his feet and two men guide his useless body towards a large ATV.

Freedom, but for how long?


Title: Salt and Pepper
Fandom: Fast and the Furious (Deckard/Luke)
Rating: T
Notes: set post-F8
Summary: Luke waits for the ball to drop.


"It's not hard to cross the line, Hobbs."

Deckard should know. He's done it before, and he'd have no qualms about doing it again.

"But you won't." Luke claps him on the shoulder and makes sure no one's looking before he plants a kiss on Deckard's perfect dome-shaped head.

Shaw promised things would be different. With his brother, his mum and sister, and with himself. There's no reason to pretend he doesn't care anymore.

"It's not that difficult to make the right choice either."

Clearly Luke's forgotten the battle between morals and ethics.

"I know, but sometimes it can be."
