    Summary

    Francis (*) finds himself unexpectedly under investigation before his promotion to a new level of responsibility in Mr. Fisk's organization.

    Free fall. The die was cast. All Francis could do was wait. Shame, having something to hide, would be worse for him than the truth. He'd learned that from watching great men fall from great heights, tripped up by something so small as the need to have Nanny paddle their ass once a week. The world and its judgements could fuck itself as far as Francis was concerned. His body count spoke louder than any hobby, habit, or foible. At least he didn't smoke.

    Passing mentions of corruption (someone being framed for child abuse), drowning (holding someone under water)--not salient to the plot but I'll put that in here in case either is a problem for people even in that form.

    Prompts covered were: hand jobs, situational engineering (conscious or unconscious setup to manufacture sexual situations), medical scenarios. This kind of got away from me and turned into an actual thing. Unrelated to the previous bit with Wesley.

    Summary

    They say that no matter how bad something is, it can always get worse. Long years of Russian incarceration have taught Lucas as much. The latest abuse he has to endure, though, has him teetering on the brink of an abyss.

    Summary

    Improvement makes straight roads; but the crooked roads without improvement are roads of Genius.
    - William Blake, Proverbs of Hell, from The Marriage of Heaven and Hell [1793]

    To be a good torturer, it is extremely necessary to be of a compassionate disposition. Without a fellow feeling for one's subject, one cannot ascend to the true heights of the art.
    - John le Carré, A Most Wanted Man [2008]

    Lucas North, from 7.01 to 8.04. And then a bit further.

    Summary

    One mistake is all it takes and the streets of New York don't forgive easily. So listen carefully. Do not have any loyalties, do not make promises, do not make friends – you can have only allies, respect your enemies, sleep with a gun under your pillow and never, ever love anyone. You can have either power or love. Never both.
    No one said that power doesn't come with a price.
