Rating: adult
Word count: 3,046
Beta: thanks to the lovely scribblinlenore.
Spoilers: Set between season 1 and 2, so spoilers up to 2x01.
Notes: my first 4_a_star story, written for isagel, and the prompt: John/Mark, chess. Also on AO3 here.

( A few months ago he'd have been horrified to think he'd empathise with a man like John Luther. Now he thinks they're the only two people in the world who can fully understand each other. )

Aw. Beautiful fucked up men. Loved. :)

Thank you!

They are so fucked up, but it's part of what makes them so fascinating. I do hope the show explores more of the strange kinship we saw between them at the start of season 2.

Are they getting a third season because the second was a bit... I wasn't overly impressed but I think that was because of lack of Alice and lack of Mark and it was just missing some basic interpersonal connections. IDK, I've no idea if that makes even a vague sort of sense.

Yes, they are!

Good. :) Will there be more Alice?

I don't know yet, but I hope so.

*fingers crossed* :D

I was a bit underwhelmed with the second season too - it featured Baba and the blackmail of John far too heavily, and didn't deal enough with Zoe's death, or Mark's grieving process or Alice. I'm not sure exactly how they could bring Alice back in, but I hope they do!
