John Reese, the super skilled assassin, probably knows half a dozen ways to kill you with chopsticks, but hasn’t mastered the art of eating with them… And switches discreetly to a fork while no one is watching… 😉
FINCH: Because you’re wrong. He proves you’re wrong. Not all humans are bad code.
The unwavering belief they have in each other here is mutual, and equal in strength: Finch, in his belief that Reese is incorruptible; and Reese, in his belief that Finch will never lead him astray.
They didn’t realise until then that all they had ever wanted all along is what they found in each other: a good man worth fighting for.
Actually, the word ‘inspired’ was not good enough. This gifset wouldn’t exist if there weren’t the story. It’s so beautiful, and sad, and it felt so real, I couldn’t help but thought about it the whole day. Then, I saw this post on my dash. I believe coincidences are whisperings of fate, so I made this. This is my headcanon of the fic. John’s side of the story.
And this is for you, dear @talking2thesky. I hope you wouldn’t mind, and will like this. xx
