OP here and ahhhhhh this is absolutely AMAZING!!! I'm just sitting here smiling ear to ear, this is so lovely and thrilling and grimy and romantic (uh by Hickey standards). How it warms my heart to see my favorite little rat bastard fighting his heart and losing! <3

and sometimes Tozer looks at Hickey like he sees right through him, down past the flesh, the viscera, the thready nerves and sinew, down to the very marrow of him. Even with all that, he’s never once cringed away.

Aw, Tozer...! ;o;

Faint moonlight streams from the stained glass windows, illuminating the mausoleum’s interior in a rich red glow. Hickey steps into the light; the unwashed blood of Christ drips down his smiling face.

I love this imagery so, so much, Hickey the murderer and the deliverer - a most unholy savior. Just fantastic!

“Play nice, now. I’m here to rescue you.”

“Rescue? You fucking left me!”

Lol, it's so them. And oh no, Tozer's wound! ;o;

He has ceased to be a man; now, he is only a liability.

I LOVE the way even now Hickey's still thinking of ways out for himself, some way he can weasel out of even his own feelings

Something in Hickey’s chest throbs, and he can barely breathe past the pain of it. Stick him here, and be done with it, hisses the serpent in his ear, it would be a mercy… but his head is pounding, and the room is going all funny at the edges, and he can see Tozer like a mirage, laying dead in the middle of the floor in a pool of his blood, those trusting eyes still wide open… trust, the fool, after Hickey left him, fuck, what is wrong with him —

<3 <3 <3 oh I love this so much!!! ;__; plus, love how that last line both underlines Hickey's fear (for another person, no less!) and foreshadows his escape plan.

And I love the contrast between the intensity of Hickey's inner thoughts and his playing it cool banter with Tozer. And the recurring animal imagery throughout this: snake, rat, hound. Thank you so much for writing this fill, author anon, I adore it!

Aah, thanks for the awesome comment (and the prompt!!), I’m so happy you enjoyed it! He’s such a twisted little guy, it’s weird getting inside his head… I’m probably going to clean this up/maybe elaborate on it a little more before posting to AO3 at some point, so there may be more Ratman’s Great Emotional Awakening to come…

Ooh, I will look forward to seeing it on AO3 then! :D

I love how you’ve captured the twistiness of Hickey’s mind - how in some ways he’s brutally, cruelly direct but then again he has to run a convoluted rat maze to evade his feelings <3
