Summary
The evidence was airtight. The digital ledgers were flawless. For Special Agent Emily Byrne, the mission was to bring in the man she thought she knew—a man the Bureau branded the ultimate deep-cover spy. But when the moment of truth arrives, Emily makes a choice that defies every protocol: she takes a leap of faith to help him prove his innocence.
But faith has a high price. After a brutal tactical extraction goes sideways, Emily is forced to play a dangerous double game, leaving Cal to wonder if she is his savior or the architect of his downfall. Now, trapped together in a high-stakes sanctuary, they must navigate a web of trauma and paranoia. With her own weapon in his trembling hands, Emily has only a matter of hours to prove her loyalty to a man who no longer knows who to trust—before the real conspiracy catches up to them both.Series

Summary
Directly following the events of Trust, this story offers a crucial moment of reprieve. After the harrowing events, Cal and Emily finally have a chance for quiet. This fic focuses on their immediate interactions and emotional aftermath, offering them a well-deserved period of fluff and tenderness. But the calm is only temporary; this story also serves as a poignant prologue to the coming conflict in Trust Back.

Summary
Short version:
Emily suspects Cal but they need to work together, she has trust issues and Cal is understanding but needs to submit to her to gain her trust.Elaborate version:
Emily is forced to partner with Cal, the operative she believes is a hostile agent. Crippled by deep-seated trust issues, she demands total, unyielding operational control, treating him as a suspect under surveillance, not an ally. Cal, urgently needing her strategic mind to complete their mission, submits completely to her authority. He agrees to cede every decision and movement, knowing that his unwavering compliance is the only currency that will buy the temporary trust necessary to survive. Their partnership is a fragile, high-stakes pact based entirely on Emily's command and Cal's absolute obedience—but how long will he be willing to endure this submission before he takes back control? Will she ever be able to fully trust him?Created with the help of AI. The story happens on its own timeline and off canon plot. It turned out extremely interesting so I decided to post it. There's not enough Absentia fics, so here it goes. It can also be read independently of the show, so if you're new, welcome.

Summary
She snorted when Danielle’s bow manifested once again. “What do you plan on doing with that, little Cheyenne?” She bared her teeth, towering over her. “I do not fear.”
“What did you do to Illyana?”
Danielle was deceptive, the Darkchilde thought. Though she should not be so, with her horse-pattern onesie, the fire in her eyes gave her an aura of intimidation.
The Darkchilde snickered, tail whipped from side to side. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”
AKA the Darkchilde meets Dani and projects all her worst desires onto her.
