Fics like all's fair

“Cormoran,” Robin says, quieter. “Please.” Cruelty or mercy? he’d asked Robin once on a night a little like this one, drunk and in the dark, her arm around his waist as she’d guided him home, and it’s the face of that soldier he thinks of now as he eases the door slowly shut, as Robin watches him, the shadows falling on her pale face. Had it been cruelty or mercy, the way that kid had looked at his destroyed leg and decided not to shoot? Maybe a bit of both, Robin had said. Maybe so. “Go home, Robin,” Cormoran says tiredly. “Make up with Matt." He pauses, swallows. "Go home," he says at last, leaning his forehead against the door, "to someone who loves you." Or: Somewhere the border is always being redrawn.
