Title: "Trapped" Pairing: Karl Urban/Marton Csokas Rating: PG Summary: Refuge turned captive. Disclaimer: Never happened. Notes: For Helens78, for the First Lines Challenge. They've been dancing around it for a while now, going through the motions. Pretending. Almost funny that it would come down to this, to lying and evading to each other, themselves. They'd initially gotten together because they'd wanted something real, something that allowed them refuge from their professions -- from agents who asked for too much, directors who expected too much, and audiences that simply expected. Maybe they should've ended it long ago, Marton doesn't know. Karl still had the power to make Marton's breath stutter, but these days his heart was strangely still. His refuge had become just another trap. If you enjoyed this fic, please leave feedback here. Thanks!
