Summary
"By her calculations it should only be a few more minutes until Dr. Langdon would start to feel the effects of the anesthesia.
As if on cue, from her vantage point in room 31 she watched as Dr. Langdon swayed slightly as he rose from where he had been crouching on the floor.
Perfect."
Dr. Trinity Santos absolutely despises feeling powerless, and is going to strip Dr. Langdon of all his control in a way that will leave him feeling just as powerless as she had. There's no line she isn't willing to cross to get her revenge.

Summary
“What will it take?” he asks.
Duffy hums, not fully absently, but from River’s perspective, it does appear like Duffy’s looking at his mouth again. Or maybe it’s his gun. Perhaps both, given that they’re in such close proximity.
“What do I have to do to convince you not to kill me?”

Summary
A month after France and Frank Harkness, Slough House is floundering beneath the weight of grief none of them quite know how to deal with. Fortunately, Catherine has returned, and she’s determined to fix things — starting with River, who’s carrying a secret that’s affecting how he acts both with her and with Lamb — until she and River are kidnapped from Slough House by a group of former slow horses that have a very serious bone to pick with Jackson Lamb.
It will be fine. Catherine knows that Lamb will come for River, and River knows that Lamb will come for Catherine, and until he does they simply have to keep the other alive long enough to be found. But what they’re not expecting is that these former slow horses don’t just want to hurt Lamb; they want to break River, and force Lamb to watch it happen.
But the former slow horses have made a significant error of judgement. With every recording they send of River’s torture, the more determined Lamb becomes to rescue his boy, and when he finally does get River and Catherine back he is never going to let them go. It’ll be a long, difficult road to recovery, but they’ll walk it together, all three of them.
[ or: the camcorder kidnapping fic, at last. ]

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.
