Summary
Pushed into prostitution at sixteen, Adrian has learned to live in survival mode; quiet, compliant, and invisible. His life belongs to Sean, a violent man who calls it love but only knows control.
When Sean, Adrian's abusive pimp, leaves for the day, Adrian slips out. To a library. A place where no one touches him, no one stares. A place where he can let himself relax—and where a stranger’s eyes might hold something other than fear.
It's just a small life he builds in the cracks of a much uglier one. But sometimes, the smallest cracks let the light in.

Fandom: Dark Angel (X5s gen)
"Family Portraits" series by Northlight (anenko)
"Do you love me?" Ben asked.
"Of course, yes," Tinga said and rubbed her hand across his back.
"No. Not of course," Ben said and rocked back far enough to see her face. His eyes were desperate. "Not because you have to, okay."
"Ben. Ben, I love you," she told him.
Ben looked up at her. "Always, no matter what?"
"What is this?" Tinga demanded, pulling away from his arms. "Why are you asking me this?" She wrapped her arms around herself, cold and tight with sudden tension.
"I need to know that you won't hate me. I need you to love me, Tinga," Ben said.
"Hate you? No. I love you. I do. Stop talking like this," Tinga said. "What are you playing at, Ben?"
"Nothing. I'm not playing." He paused a moment. "Husband, child, friends, job. Do you feel normal? Really?"
Tinga bit the inside of her cheek, annoyed at his persistence. She thought and it wasn't hard to find an answer. There was a part of her that was always aware of escape routes, that noted with professional interest each way she could dispose of the various people she encountered every day. She thought of sheets drawn tight over her bed, and suspicion of new people and places. "Normal? Sometimes," she said.
"Sometimes," Ben repeated and smiled. "You're lucky for sometimes."
"Yes. I suppose so," Tinga said. Zack would have said never, and she thought Ben would, too.
