And I Was Not Well (But I Could Not Help Myself) by 221Browncoat

Summary
Any hope for survival, it seems, rests on the shoulders of the Slow Horses.
He thinks probably he's not supposed to find comfort in that—the Horses being, well, the Horses—but he does. Or, maybe not comfort, per se, but there is a distinct lack of dread which is close enough.

Summary
Frank doesn't want to let River go after he's only just got him back in his life. Shame River doesn't want to come with him willingly.
“We’re in a public space. And I’m not walking out of here,” River frowned.
“Oh no you’re not,” Frank’s head tilted in a parody of concern, “see my son here has had a little too much to drink so I’ve called us a cab and he needs a little bit of help getting there.”Series

Summary
At the end of 4x05, Patrice abducts River at gunpoint. This time, they go to a remote, isolated manor where Frank is waiting for them. The slow horses do not see or hear from River again for almost five months. During that time, Frank does his level best to break River and rebuild him into a tool he can use, with Patrice as his assisting shadow. This… doesn’t really work. In fact, the process ends up breaking not River, but someone else.
Meanwhile, Slough House is on overdrive trying to find a missing colleague who the Park is all to quick to deem presumed dead and rubber-stamp his file as such. Louisa almost quits, and finds an odd solace in working alongside Lamb to try to bring their missing agent home. She is having a bad one - the maybe-loss of her best friend is tearing her apart.
It all comes to a head when Louisa follows a lead that she knows better than to follow. She is meant to be the last blow that destroys River's resolve. It doesn't shake out like that. By the time they're both rescued, it's a long road to recovery. But there is a road, and there's help along the way.

Summary
Malcolm wets his lips, swallows hard, exhales a breath that comes out as a soft sob of pain.
“They’ll find you,” he whispers. He means it as a threat, a last resort, something to scare John off, but he isn’t surprised when all John does is laugh.
"No, no, no. You see, that right there...that’s why we need to go somewhere private. Somewhere we'll have all the time in the world."
He grins, all teeth and malice, and leans to whisper in Malcolm's ear.
"Somewhere no one will ever find us.”

Summary
Neal leans against his desk behind Peter, chaining paper clips together and looking a bit pleased to be fought over.
“It’s out of my control on this one, Burke,” Hughes says, “They’ve gone through the proper channels, I can’t override it any more than you. If Wirth and Iyengar say they need Caffrey on their case, they get him. It’s as simple as that.”
“But Neal works in White Collar.”
Yes, but he can be reassigned to meet needs. We have as much a right to him as any division does.”
“That’s ridiculous.”
“Don’t worry about it, Hughes,” Neal chimes in; he drops the line of paper clips down into a pile below his hand. “Peter’s just worried that I might have too much fun over in Organized Crime and decide to never come back to him.”
It's been three months since Neal ran. Now Peter is hoping that Special Agent James Wirth knows something that he doesn't.

Summary
Neal has a terrible habit of finding himself in dangerous situations. This is what happens when he doesn't get out quick enough. A retelling of the series, except this time, he doesn't escape unharmed. Between getting shot, beaten up, and stabbed, it's fun times for all!
Or, the one where Neal regularly gets just that little bit more bruised up than canon, and Peter deals with the fallout.

Summary
Jay rolled his eyes as he began shrugging off his jacket, his badge dangling from his neck and glinting in the lights. “Do you have any of your gear here? Like a first aid kit or something?”
Will frowned. “Uh, I guess I’ve got a few of the basics. Sutures, bandages, gauze, bandaid, disinfectant. Nothing crazy, but I’ve got some stuff. Why?”
Nodding, Jay finally pulled off his jacket with a slight grimace, “Good,” he said as he tossed his jacket over the back of the couch. “I think you had better go and get it.”

“Yes, you can help us.” Freddy’s left hand grabs the back of Jay’s neck and pulls him closer. “Just die already.”
Pain explodes in Jay’s left side, going deep into his gut, and he sucks in a shuddering breath. It hurts even more when the knife is pulled out again. His breath hitches, his vision darkens, but he clings to consciousness by the tips of his fingers. Freddy thrusts the knife in again. And again.Jay is ambushed in a dark alley, stabbed and left for dead, bleeding out alone in the darkness.
