Chocolate Box: 2 delicious bonbons for me

[dorinda]

I got all caught up in Virtual Escapade, and haven't even mentioned the delicious treats I received for chocolateboxcomm!! Please have a bite for yourself, for they are both scrumptious.

My gift is a Person Of Interest story that contextualizes the rooftop-bomb vest scene (aka Dorinda's Eternal Birthday Present), with such an excellent and steely-sad John POV, and then continues it the way I would wish it to continue. (Is there kissing? Spoiler: YISSSSSS :D)

Summary:

"What are you going to do? Shoot me?" Finch had that exasperated look he saved only for John.

And I also got a treat! The Sting, Henry/Johnny, a loaded moment after a con with Johnny self-critical and worried, and Henry reassuring him. It feels like an excerpt from a larger story right around the corner, I feel like I know exactly what happened, and Henry's POV is so observant and appreciative of Johnny. ♥____♥
