prompt: Stockholm Syndrome
warning: Strong non-con/dub-con scenes; potential squicks and triggers.

summary: “Sources on our investigative team say this was a bank robbery gone wrong, and that, when faced with a police task force surrounding the building, the suspect grabbed the nearest person and is now holding that young man at gunpoint as he makes his getaway.”
disclaimer: this is an AU, so it’s obviously not true. I don’t own any of the people involved, and I’m not making any profit from this. Also, my knowledge of the justice system is pretty limited, so take everything in that regard with a grain of salt.
a/n: Written for the bandom_hc challenge. Extra special thanks to my betas! Especially giddy_london, who is always amazingly helpful and articulate to the extreme (if I can satisfy a person with an English degree, then I’m happy!), and will ramble at me about characterization and plot for hours. And tuesdaysgone, who caught everything I still missed and has really awesome attention to detail. ♥ Thanks to everyone who encouraged me during the challenge when I seriously thought I wasn't going to make it, and thanks to philosiraptors, who wanted this fic in the first place. I hope it lives up to your expectations! :)
