insta!rec - Isolation by kharessa, sga, adult

[seperis]

Isolation by kharessa - Lost Boys fic. Wow. If there was ever, *ever* a story that straddled the nebulous line in my mind of what is non-con and what's rape, this one is *it*. It's *fantastic*, unsettling as hell, disturbing and dark and twisty and it's completely John and completely, utterly Rodney.

This time, however, Rodney hadn’t waited to break, and it seemed he’d taken John at his word. Hands that wore calluses in places where a scientist’s hands shouldn’t be callused ran over John’s torso, thumbs and forefingers pinching nipples a little too tightly for comfort, and John’s stomach knotted. Rodney couldn’t make him feel good – not from within the distorting haze of the enzyme that granted physical superiority while stripping away the mental safeguards that stopped sane people from simply taking what they wanted and acting on every urge. Rodney could drag it out, though; he could make it lasting and memorable.

That just--that last bit hurts me *every time*. Because John *knows* that lasting and memorable? Are not what he wants here.

This part hit me in the gut, especially after what John had already gone through for Rodney.

----“And you trust me now, don’t you?” Rodney said.

----“Yeah,” he (John) replied, and the word came out small, -----tight, and lacking in inflection.

(actually a lot of parts hit me in the stomach, in a good way, but on second reading that part about trust really hit it home how fucked up the situation is)

I have no clue how two people can move on from here and still remain friends or even colleagues. But I'd love to see what happens next.

btw...you said it perfectly.

I agree and now that I think about it, the main reason for me why this is so painful is that they can't come back from this, i really can't see them remaining colleagues much less friends after this.
