Be Nice to Harold

when my bones come tumblin' in by ArgylePirateWD Rating: General Audiences Something about fall and winter appealed deeply to his introverted side. In the middle of all the chaos of the seasons' holidays, there was a sense of quiet, of peace, in between the moments of loud reality. And then everything changed.

Day Four

Ice Cream

Art by UnUnpredictableMe (DraejonSoul) Rating: General Audiences Also for Kids/Babies/Pregnancy

An Ice Cream in December by Lucie16 Rating: General Audiences A mini story about John and Harold, eating ice cream together in the middle of winter. Pure fluff to eat without moderation.

Dark

Art by merionees Rating: Mature

Hanahaki

most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs by ArgylePirateWD Rating: Teen and Up Audience "You did say both of us would wind up dead," John says. "Kind of fitting that I go out the same way as you."

Kids/Babies/Pregnancy

Something Rather Rash by ArgylePirateWD Rating: General Audiences It's a ludicrous idea, utterly foolish. Them, raising a child together. How silly. Last time they had an infant in their care, she wound up playing with a tear gas grenade and was later locked up in a refrigerated truck. But surely they'd do better with a child of their own. Or, Harold and John adopt a baby. Also for Canon Divergence

Gifset by tor

Art by merionees Rating: Explicit for entire work, probably Teen and Up for this one

Let Me Cook for You by Lucie16 Rating: General Audiences Harold has had enough of John and him eating food delivered at their home. He likes the taste of it but dreams of something different. And so he decides to cook for John and himself. Will the experience be as good as expected?

What Needs to be Done by ArgylePirateWD Rating: Teen and Up He forged his high tolerance for pain through experience and necessity. Content Notes: Harold gets shot

Art by UnUnpredictableMe (DraejonSoul) Rating: General Audiences Content Notes: Bleeding Wound Also for Reese Whump

Undercover

gifset by tor

Bed Sharing

Morning Musing by talkingtothesky Rating: Teen and Up John wakes up wrapped around Harold and just enjoys it for a while.

Day Six

Finch Whump

Stopgap by ktfics Rating: Not Rated They’re hurting him. The thing about a skilled torturer is that they know when to quit; they know when they’re not getting through to someone, when they’re never going to get through to someone, and John- well, John may have underestimated these particular mercenaries. They’re hurting him because they realized that was the best way to hurt John, to get him to fold. They’re hurting him because they realized that John got snarkier the closer they got to Harold, as if he was trying to redirect their attention, because, of course, he was. They’re hurting Finch because of John. Content Notes: Contains torture

This Mundane Frailty by ArgylePirateWD Rating: Teen and Up Harold must admit that this was not part of his many contingency plans for their operation. He must also admit, when it comes, that his heart attack isn't exactly a surprise.

Mirror Demon by talkingtothesky Rating: Teen and Up There's an intruder in the library. He has not come for tea. Also for Crossover; crossover with Evil

NSFW/Kink

Art by merionees Rating: Explicit

Follow my lead (Thinking about you) by Lucie16 Rating: Explicit Harold and John go undercover on a mission. They're as efficient as ever but John is distracted by Harold's role on this mission. For once he can't wait to go home to prove it to him. For Rinchfest 2022 day 6 featuring the worst excuse for an innuendo ever.

Crossover

Mirror Demon by talkingtothesky Rating: Teen and Up There's an intruder in the library. He has not come for tea. Also for Finch Whump; crossover with Evil

Day Seven

Free-For-All

The Boss by blackchaps Rating: Mature Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings A.K.A Don't piss off Harold. AU because I stirred a bunch of plot points and killed some people that I normally don't. Finished up for the Rinch Fest, Friday Free-For-All, because I have no idea what this story is about. Harold is pissed. John is tired and hungry. Shaw is Shaw. No Bear, unfortunately.

Catch Up

Day One: Wings

Art by UnUnpredictableMe (DraejonSoul) Rating: General Audiences

Day Two: Hobbies

Allegoria by AbAbsurdo Rating: General Audiences John looks after Harold after being kidnapped and tortured. Harold learns something about John and they come closer together Also fits multiple prompts

Graphite and Paper by ArgylePirateWD Rating: Teen and Up It's been three years, and the joy of having John back still hasn't diminished in the slightest. Also for both Be Nice prompts, music, fix-it, and domesticity

Art by merionees Rating: Explicit for entire work, this piece SFW

Day Two: Setting/Genre Change AU

It may be gold... by AbAbsurdo Rating: Teen and Up Tipsy and tired after a party, Harold stops to pick a young man from a street in a moment of weakness. If he can't have what he wants maybe he can help the man. But, not all things are as they seem. John is strangely alluring. Also for Day Three: Misunderstandings

Day Three: Music

Nevertheless by Fringuello Rating: General Audiences Harold Finch listens closely to the lyrics of an old song.

Day Three: Misunderstandings/Jealousy

Day Three: Soulmates/Soulbonds

Pain to the Soul by AbAbsurdo Rating: General Audiences Having a soulmate meant pain; their pain. Harold lived a life through his soulmate's pain. John didn't. Until he did.

Day Four: Canon Divergence AU

Easier Ways to Get an A by ArgylePirateWD Rating: Teen and Up Switching gears to a career in education after Nathan died had not been one of his better decisions, Harold has to admit. Then student and retired soldier John Reese starts stopping by for office hours.

Day Five: Reese Whump

from darkness, to light by TheSkyAtMidnight Rating: Teen and Up "I killed Harold," John says, voice dipped in grief for that brief sentence, "I'm going to kill you for making me do it."

Fic stat game!

From @hithelleth - yes I do still write! :D

Rules: Give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words.

Full disclosure: I have two fics with stats that piss the shit out of me and I'm vacation-drunk enough that if they show up here I'm gonna orphan the little fuckers.

Most hits: Oh yeah, here are those criminal minds fuckers. Shit that's cathartic to get rid of.

Most Hits: Rodeo (Pacific Rim Becketcest). A kink meme fill but honestly this is a great flagship for my bibliography. "Yancy's hung like a horse; Raleigh plans to take him for a ride." Just a whole lot of smutty size kink, with a bit of brotherly fluff thrown in.

Second most kudos: The Infatuation of Freedom (Lost Boys David/Michael) Yay for Yuletide PWPs!!

Third most comments: The Bitchelor (Black Sails 'the bachelor but gay' AU cowritten with my wife @jadedbirch). "Eleanor Guthrie needs a new boyfriend for her Hot Gay Dad. And her career needs a pick me up. Fortunately, a certain reality TV offer promises to solve both problems at once. But can Flint cope with the stresses of reality TV... and eleven men vying for his favor?" Our Black Sails fics totally dominate the top of my 'most comments' list, which says a lot about how amazing that fandom AND my wife are ;) They're all fucking hilarious if I do say so myself. XD

Fourth most bookmarks: The Heart Sees Rightly (Person of Interest, Rinch daemon AU) Oh wow first non-explicit fic! I guess people just love fluffy Rinch x soul-animals. <3

Fifth most words: The Spark of Life (Dark City (1998) A cyberpunk reimagining of Dark City with big influence from Surrogates and the Matrix. I think this was my second NaNoWriMo?

Fic with the least words: I did't make him for you (Defiance) oooh, a 'Rocky Horror' inspired Yuletide treat for my wife!! God, this show had SUCH great worldbuilding and the showrunners just squandered it and then dropped it when it didn't sell video games, ugh.

This was fun! I do have to honorable-mention Know Your Faces Wisely (Good Omens) my (now) top-kudos'd fic that's ALSO my top-commented outside of the Black Sails fandom, simply because unlike those two assholes I just orphaned the Good Omens fandom CLEARLY shows up for authors and appreciates fic. <3

Tagging my best co-authors @bonnie131313 and @jadedbirch (if you want)

"More Specifically, You Need a [New] Job."

Security guard, bouncer, vigilante –– these are no longer the positions suited to John Reese. And being a barista at Starbucks has never been on the list.

But this?

Surveilling the street with his furry companion right by his side?

This is right up his alley.

Domestic Felicity.

I have no excuse for this. This is tooth rottinnggg fluff. But I can totally blame (and credit) @talking2thesky for her fluffy rinch prompts. Here, I hope it helps your cravings as much as it did mine.

Rinch. G-rated, FLUFF.

“I am going to take a shower,” Reese glanced towards the door, and back towards his partner.

Finch seemed to not even have heard him, engrossed as he was in whatever code he was trying to unravel at the moment. Because of the late hour- and his obvious exhaustion- Harold had relocated himself to bed, reclining with help of pillows, but still typing away at his laptop. John couldn’t help suppress the small, fond smile that tugged on his lips before clearing his throat.

“I said,” he spoke louder, startling Harold slightly. “I am going to take a shower.”

Harold frowned, the glasses on his nose slipping a little before he pushed them back. “Surely you don’t need my permission before attending to your personal hygiene, Mr. Reese.”

John grinned. He knew when his partner was being deliberately obtuse- he was always more cranky when he was tired. “I was just wondering if you would like to join me.”

He didn’t phrase it like a question, he phrased it like an invitation, and took fierce pleasure in Harold’s pupils dilating, the want on his face obvious, before it shuttered off into regret. “I am afraid I can’t. I really need to finish this algorithm.”

John shrugged. He knew it was always a possibility, and he had long since stopped being jealous of technology like a jilted mistress. It was important to Harold, so it was important to him.

“As you wish.” He turned around, opening the door, contemplating teasing Harold with stripping in front of him before deciding against it. Harold wouldn’t have declined the offer if he didn’t think he had to.

“Perhaps,” Harold voice paused his steps, “Perhaps you should ask me again… in the morning.”

John smirked, turning his face around slightly so that Harold could see it. “Perhaps I would.”

He heard the clicking of keys resuming, but he could feel Harold’s smile even through them, the tapping considerably more cheerful than it had been a moment ago. Harold talked as much through the way he used a keyboard as he did with words, and years of hearing it constantly through his earpiece had made Reese somewhat of an expert in telling Harold’s mood through just that.

He shook his head slightly, in self-deprecation. He really was too far gone, and he couldn’t even bring himself to mind it.

John took his time in the shower, enjoying the hot stream soothing his aching, overused muscles. Here, he let the water wash away the bitter aftertaste that the ugly face of humanity always left after particularly difficult numbers. He wished he could’ve coaxed Harold in here anyway… the man needed as much unwinding as he did, the circles under his eyes testament to his exhaustion. Just because John knew his partner was a workaholic, didn’t mean he should let him ignore his well-being.

He stepped back into the room with a bathrobe and a towel casually slung around his neck, saying, “The water is…”

John trailed off at the sight that greeted him, and then a slow smile spread across his face. Finch had fallen asleep where he was reclining, the laptop still perched on his lap. Stubborn, he thought fondly. Cautiously, not wanting to wake the tired man, he went to Harold’s side of the bed and slid the lid of the laptop close and gently he pried it from his hands. The fact that Harold didn’t startle told John everything about his state of exhaustion. Carefully, oh so carefully, he took off Harold’s skewed glasses, folding them and putting them within easy reach on the side table.

He contemplated for a moment then, wondering if he should disturb him at all, before deciding that it was eventually better than Harold waking up in pain. He slowly readjusted the man, ignoring his weak protests, and settled the pillows in a way he knew Harold preferred. Harold grumbled, but with John’s quiet shushing he didn’t break out of his slumber.

Finally, John adjusted the blanket around the now comfortably sleeping man, and overcome with affection, he bent down and left a lingering kiss on his forehead.

In sleep, Harold smiled beatifically, before sighing contently, “John.”

John felt like his heart would burst with all the love it contained and he couldn’t stop his smile, nor the urge to press another kiss on Harold’s forehead. There was something acutely intimate about the moment, about the vulnerability Harold chose to show him, and the trust. As he settled into bed, he decided that anyone who ever complained about domesticity being boring had no idea what they were talking about. He would take this over a passionate tumble in the sheets any day.

And well- he grinned to himself before closing his eyes- for the latter, he had been promised a joint shower in the morning.

Fluff meme! Reese/Finch, fake dating

“That is completely unnecessary,” Harold says when John pulls out his chair.

“It’s a nice restaurant,” John replies, making certain to push the chair in smoothly so Harold doesn’t get jarred. “What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn’t pull out your chair?”

“Boyfriend,” Harold mutters, hiding his sarcastic smirk behind his menu. “You’ve certainly built a backstory for this fake date, Mr. Reese.”

John grins and looks at his own menu. He puts it down when the server comes over. “A bottle of the Oregon Pinot Noir, please.”

“Yes, Sir,” the server says and walks away.

“An Oregon Pinot Noir, John? Really?”

“They’re doing interesting things with Pinot Noir in Oregon,” John replies. He glances over Harold’s shoulder to the left. “Our number just walked in.”

“Brings me to a nice restaurant just to ignore me,” Harold says. He grins at John’s quiet laugh. “Why do I put up with you?”

“Well, if you want the full back story, because we met and changed each other’s lives. You needed someone who would listen and respect your ideas, and I needed someone who could support me while I rediscovered who I was after a major career shift.”

Harold stares at John, waiting for a joke or a smirk. John’s eyes are bright and clear, focused on Harold and only Harold. Harold feels his breath catch. “Don’t lose our number,” he says, uncertain what else to do.

“His date just arrived. We’ve got time.” John glances away to double check. “He didn’t pull out his chair. Rude.”

“Terribly rude,” Harold agrees. “What a bad way to start a back story.”

Preen

[rinch preslash flufflet, G, sequel to Bloom. ]

Today, stealth is a secondary concern. The main concern is reading body language - in particular, Harold's body language. Last time, John utterly missed the point where Harold noticed him.

Admittedly, at the time he wasn't looking for anything less subtle than a loud squawk of indignation, but he wants to know that he can.

They're in the library tonight, and sadly, there are no flowers in John's reach. Harold is reading something on his screen, chin leaning on his fists, utterly engrossed.

(John carefully avoids examining how he feels about that: Harold, vulnerable, allowing vulnerability next to him.)

What John has at his disposal is a q-tip, and he feels it's sufficient for the cause.

He approaches slowly. The screen scrolls down at a steady speed. Harold's breathing is similarly even. John puts his hand behind Harold's head and waits. When there's no response, he moves it closer, until he can feel the warmth radiating from Harold.

Still no reaction.

Next he lets the q-tip make brief contact with Harold's hair, retreating when Harold still doesn't respond. He looks down. The scrolling pauses, then continues.

John considers saying something, asking something. If Harold is letting him do this, his data is invalid.

(If Harold is letting him do this, it might prove... something else. John doesn't know what.)

The muscles on the side of Harold's jaw are untensed, his mouth closed and soft. John decides that's as good a hint as any. He dares brush the q-tip over Harold's hair.

Harold doesn't make a sound, doesn't move. Not when John puts more pressure behind the strokes of the q-tip, not when John pushes it past the surface of Harold's hair and into its fine, messy strands, not even when John touches it - ever so gently - to Harold's scalp.

John is very observant, and he's sure if Harold moved away - or towards him - however subtly, he'd know. He wouldn't have to guess. So he can say with certainty that Harold is perfectly still.

Alright, enough. "Harold?" John says, soft enough not to startle him.

In return, he's pretty surprised when Harold lets out a snort and faceplants on his keyboard.

Another look shows that Harold's screen has been set, at some point, to auto-scroll. Harold's breath when he's sleeping is not all that different than it is when he reads.

"Your back won't thank you tomorrow," John tells Harold's sleeping form. He hesitates for a moment longer, then shrugs and pulls Harold's chair away from the computer with one hand, supporting Harold's forehead with his other hand.

The sofa is right there, and while it's not great, it's definitely better than the chair. Harold must have been really exhausted: his body is heavy in John's hands, slack. John maneuvers him carefully onto the sofa, putting an extra pillow under his neck and a throw blanket over his legs.

John only stops to put the gel packs in the fridge before making a strategic retreat. Yet his steps are light, and he realizes he's smiling. Who knows what piece of Harold he'll discover next?

Rinch Fest Day Three Round Up

Day four has started. Here are all the works from day three!

Food/Drinks/Cooking

Four Days in August by strawberriesandtophats - FIC. Teen and Up Audiences. John came back to life on a rainy Wednesday in August.

Birdseed by ArgylePirateWD - FIC. Teen and Up Audiences. With a cold being passed around, John takes care of his people. Harold gets special treatment. (Also written for Fluff)

Melting Slowly by talkingtothesky - ART. Teen and Up Audiences. Archive Locked. Harold and John hold each other's ice creams.

Pets/Animals

Pouting Won't Help by casey26334 - FIC. Teen and Up Audiences. “John, what is that?” “It’s a kitten, Harold.” “Well, I can see that. Let me rephrase- the answer is no.” “But-“ “No.”

A Sick Pup by casey26334 - FIC. General Audiences. “He’ll be okay. I promise.” John and Harold tend to a sick Bear.

Fluff

Testing a Hypothesis by casey26334 - FIC. Teen and Up Audiences. Could Harold’s hair really be that naturally spiky? Reese tests a theory.

Birdseed by ArgylePirateWD - FIC. Also written for Food/Drinks/Cooking. See above for details.

Established Relationship

Trust In You, It's Stronger Than Faith by BenFinchEmerson - FIC. Not Rated. Harold's keeping a secret about his own incontinence, John finds out and it only strengthens their relationship further.

Homemaker by Ozymandius - FIC. General Audiences. When Harold moves John into his apartment, he does his best to make his partner feel at home.

Guard Dog by DetectiveRiley (RavenWhitecastle) - FIC. Teen and Up Audiences. John's nickname/persona of "Guard Dog" is something Harold has, up to this point, taken lightly. It's his job, his duty, to protect the numbers they've sworn to keep safe. But when John and Harold enter a partnership of a more intimate kind, John approaches anyone that threatens his precious Harold with his teeth bared.

Wanted to post something for one of these prompts but didn’t finish in time? Feel free to post it on the 30th for our Free-for-All and Catch Up day!

Hello again ☺️Yes, that would have been really cool! I already read two of your recomnendations and i love them so thank you again for sharing! I can understand you being unsure of your writing but i bet there are people who will love it. Judging from how you answer your asks and how much you love John i have no doubt that i would love it. But if you dont wanna post it anywhere i would completely understand too. (1)

Im glad i came around to like Root cause otherwise it would have been hard to watch season 4 & 5 cause she appears a lot. I think part of it is cause i watched it witch my family and my dad loves her so i started to like her more too (you know who you love sth cause someone else loves it?) and then eventually i liked her to. Shaw i loved from day one and i loved her sibling energy with John. The John and Shaw dynamic was one of my favorites. I love their teasing and their chaotic energy (2)

As for Shoot i think its kinda cool that the writers just went with it cause of the chemistry and i like Shoot a lot. John and Harold would be amazing too (i mean whats better than one queer couple? Two queer couples!) And there are some parallels between the ships so there was room for both of them. Eventhough Harold and Grace is cute too. And i feel John has chemistry with almost everyone (not always romantic chemistry but also platonic chemistry if thats a Thing 😂) and (3)

in Addition to rinch i also really liked John with Zoe. The only one he had zero chemistry with was the theraphist imo. That ship was just weird. I wish they would have used that time for more Rinch scenes instead. -- yes someone who agrees about the happy end! I dont understand people who wish for a sad end. Like John is my fave character ever and i just want him to be happy with his newfound odd family and maybe someday adopt a cute baby with Harold or become an uncle or idk just be happy (4)

But in my Imagination he didnt die and someday he and Harold retired and started their quieter Happy life with Bear. --- yeah poi Reddit loves the later seasons and hates the first and i noticed they can get a bit mean with people who dont agree (thats why i only read and never write anything). Also said you could skip most of S1 which is just sad cause its a great season 😔 i will accept that i lost validity (is this even a Word?) for liking Root 😂 also yea 4x20 is the ep with the carter hallucinations so check it out. But a warning: Root appears :D sorry this ask got so long, but i just love talking to you and i always look forward to your replies :)

Hi !! Happy to see you're back :)

Glad you liked my recs ! I think there's quite an amount of fics with suicidal John out there actually. Not that surprising since it's canon.

I appreciate your support ! In the long run idk if it's healthy for me. Like a few months ago I fell back into ace attorney and I read a lot of fics about Miles being suicidal and it affected me negatively. Sometimes I purposefully seek out suicide fics. And it may not be the most healthy thing to do. So I'm not sure about that fic. Bc I do wanna write it, but idk if it'd be healthy, as catharsis, or unhealthy, as rumination. I mean I've been writing that body horror fic with some projection of my body issues and it's fine. But yeah I'm pretty sure that if I ever finish it I think I'll post it – after all I posted a fic in which John jumped off a bridge a long while ago before I got suicidal (foreshadowing my own life here lmao). I also wanna try to work on my other wips

Yeah I see, that's understandable. Ngl Root makes me not motivated to get to these seasons during my rewatch (which technically wouldn't be a rewatch). It's wild how I feel nothing for Shaw (she do be kinda hot tho,,,, muscles,,,,,) but I think it's mostly bc I wasn't that interested in her back then and it's been so long since I watched the show I don't remember shit about her. She'd be able to grow on me I think. Yeah I've seen a lot of posts about that "mayhem twins" dynamic around here it does sound cool. Also it's refreshing to have a male/female relationship that isn't turned into a forced romance. But I'll always have a soft spot for S1 and its four core characters.

It's nice if they have chemistry, I didn't feel like they did. Yeah I'm still disappointed that they didn't go for Rinch too. I mean come on their chemistry is so painfully obvious ! I dislike the word queer but mood pls just give me canon Rinch I'm fucking begging hhhhhhh. I'm quite sure the notion of chemistry works with non romantic relationships as well. John is definitely good with people. He looks scary and brooding but he's just a good man who wants to help people ! I love him so much and same he's my fav character of all time !! Also I love seeing him interact with kids he's so good with them. But I also love when he's being an absolute badass. Damn I always forget about Grace gkjdfkjfd I don't have anything against her though, Harold and her are cute together. (Not much into the grace/harold/john OT3 tho, I've seen it around after return 0 but :/ not my thing. But hey good for people who like it.)

I liked John and Zoe too. Even if he had chemistry with Iris it's so cringe, didn't think poi would fall as low as portraying such a relationship between a therapist and a patient. Guess that shows the decrease in quality in the later seasons. Sad they did that shit when as you said they could have showed more Rinch. Like come ooon Rinch is just. Right fucking here. Just make it canon you cowards.

Yeah fuck sad endings (John didn't die obviously) I want my men to be happy and in love and live a good life together with their dog is that too much to ask. Like sometimes I read fics with MCD bc why not but most of the time I just want happiness. Fluffy domestic Rinch is so good ! Gives me so much life. I have a soft spot for married Rinch as well. Also while we're at it let me rec this domestic fluff fic:

Yeah not surprised. And you're right don't waste your time arguing on reddit lol it's not worth it. It baffles me when people say S1 is boring like ??? Where ?? There's literally soooo many eps I love in this season !! 📣📣📣number crunch is the best ep📣📣📣 Glad they stay over on reddit with their last seasons and their shit opinions about S1 smh. Like imagine being a fan of a show and disregarding the season that created the basis of the show and developed characters and relationships. Big brain time uh

I'm quite sure validity is an actual word, and that's how it be if you like root :/ I don't make the rules :/ you're the half valid anon now 😂

Oh well I shall endure root if it's a good ep ^^

It's cool !! I love your long asks !! I hope I didn't get lost in my own reply lmao
