#Enemies to ???

[whumporama]

Character A and B who really, really don't like each other. A is snarky, rebellious, and gets under B's skin. B is professional, more serious, and really hates A. The feeling is mutual.

They occasionally meet, but nothing ever happened. Maybe B is a high ranking officer or an investigator, and A was brought in a few times, confident and sassy, and despite a few close calls, they always got away/got released again.

Until one day, where something happens and A is actually in deep shit. B is delighted, and A gets put in jail in wherever B works. They need something from A, and A gets tortured. B isn't the one doing it, but they know it's happening.

At first, they don't care. A is still A, snarky, angry, and gives back every insult and taunt B throws at them. It's like nothing changed.

Until it does. Over time, B notices A wears down. At first, they're tired, and their insults and snark just have a tired edge to it. They often end up telling B to 'just fuck off', instead of talking to them until B leaves.

B notices, but doesn't think too much of it. But it gets worse, and they see how A's condition gets worse and worse. They're constantly covered in wounds, they've lost weight (too much weight, way too much), they stop standing up whenever B enters, instead choosing to remain seated in their cell.

This continues, until A is just curled up in the corner, head leaning against the cold stone, turned away from the bars. B taunts them, but even their voice is lacking the confidence they had before. A doesn't return it, but just tiredly snaps "just leave me alone" without looking up.

And B feels conflicted. A is their enemy. They hate A. A is annoying and a problem, and has no respect for them. And yet... this isn't A. This isn't right.

What does B do? Do they end up breaking A out? Do they try to offer them comfort? Do they do nothing? Try to talk to their superiors to get A out?

you read stuff on wattpad for shit and giggles where most of the fics there are reader-inserted ones written in 1st person pov where y/n is a barely legal white girl with blonde hair and blue “orbs” who’s so smol and fragile that she’s dependent entirely on this morally questionable guy who’s killing people for a living but for some reason happens to have a soft spot for her.

you read real actual literature on archive of our own where it’s two middle aged men, who are each other’s sworn enemies, with tragic past, trauma and strong homoerotic tension. and while they’ve made each other bleed, killed each other’s friends and loved ones out of jealousy / possessiveness, lied and betrayed and manipulated, the rawness, depth, complexity and slow burn will keep you up all night, haunt you during your day and possibly change your life forever. and also the sex isn’t just smut. the sex is poetry that puts Shakespeare to shame

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created
