Fic: Guilt and Lies
Characters/Pairings: Lewis, Hooper, Hathaway, Madge (another of Lewis' DCs),Innocent. Lewis/Hathaway
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: 4,430
Warnings: Explicit descriptions of being sexually abused as a child in the form of a police statement plus references to various consentual sexual acts.
 Prompt No. 42: In 4x01 Dead of Winter, we found out that Augustus Mortmaigne molested at least two of the children in residence and the implication was made that he abused them all. Hathaway grew up in the house. While the show never actually said whether the same happened to Hathaway, the last scene between Lewis and Hathaway strongly suggested it ("you're not responsible for what happened here, then or now"). I would love to see them deal with that.

In regards to slash and an established relationship, I can see Robbie suddenly worrying that past abuse has caused Hathaway to seek out older male figures and freaks out because he's afraid he's a stand in for Augustus, the abuse "made" Hathaway gay, etc. I am also not opposed to this being gen/friendship just as the first part of the prompt. Hathaway angst=love.
Prompter: maekala

Spoilers: The Dead of Winter
Summery: I tried to stick to the requirements of the prompt as closely as possible.
Notes: I really struggled with this prompt and I'm not happy with it. Please let me know if it is what you wanted and it's okay.
Thanks: Thank you deadchipmonk for stepping in at the last minute to beta as it grew into something not appropriate for babyklingon to read. Thanks also to all my friends here on live journal who have encouraged me over the past month as I really struggled over this piece.

Right, I'm off to take babyklingon to get her wrist X-rayed (again!) but you can read it here:
