Fictober 2025

Summary:

Post-THM
Some much-needed levity with a dash of angst.

Notes:

My first try at writing fan fiction! I’m a bit late to the fictober party but I’ll catch up.

Chapter 1: Just take my hand

Chapter Text

“Just take my hand.”
Robin’s open palm was held out between them, clearly indicating a handshake should seal their agreement.
“Go on,” she said, insistent. “We have to agree that we’ll be totally professional in the office. We can’t have clients or subcontractors walking in on us…you know.”
“Yeah. I know.”
Strike took her hand, giving it a firm shake. She saw a mischievous twinkle in his eye, and before she could comment he said,
“But seeing as no one is here at the moment…”
Still holding her hand, he gently pulled her toward him.
She tried and failed to look stern. “Strike,” she warned, but found she had no desire to resist.
Her free hand was already sliding up his shoulder, her face already tilting up….this would be harder than she anticipated.
