Summary
You knew it was a long shot to try and escape. There was nowhere logically left to run and every escape route was closing off.
Maybe under the cover of darkness, you could escape through the nearby forest. Head as far away from the circus as possible and hope that they would forget all about you. Surely they wouldn't bother with one bothersome human.
Unfortunately for you, there was at least one member of the circus that thought the world of you. And won't let you get away so easily.

Summary
It raised a gloved hand toward your face, and you froze in pure animal terror. You were going to die. Considering your place of employment, it wasn’t a surprise it would end this way.
The hand hovered inches from your face. The SCP had paused, its fingers almost touching your cheek, and then it changed course. It brushed the loose strands of hair from your face.
It touched you. The smooth leather of its glove grazed your temple, putting the hairs back in place behind your ear. It was a light touch, barely there, but more than enough to kill you.
And yet, you still breathed.

Summary
She was supposed to study him, document him, keep the lines clear.
He was supposed to stay contained, nothing more than a subject.
But somewhere between the arguments, the silence, and the moments she can’t bring herself to write in the reports — something changes.
Slowburn. Tension. Reverence. And the kind of closeness no cell can hold back.Bookmarked by lenaruu

Summary
The doctor’s gloved fingers lift your chin, tilting your face upward with a touch both clinical and unnervingly intimate.
“Your pulse is weak...” he murmurs, “Yet there is a softness to you that the Pestilence envies.”
You want to pull away, to break the suffocating proximity, but something in his gaze pins you in place. It’s not just authority. It’s an obsession, an aching need to know you. To have you. To possess you.
“Kindness is not my trade.” he continues, and the honesty is almost kinder than a lie. “Care is. Protection is. I intend to keep you from the Pestilence as long as it pleases me. Whether that is kindness depends on the patience of time and the constitution of your heart.”
He looks at you with the single-mindedness of someone who catalogues organisms by their capacity to survive and by the fissures they leave in the world. You want to pull back. You want to run; you have to run. But when he leans closer - so close you can feel the faint, medicinal scent of vinegar and lavender radiating from him - and speaks your name, something in your chest unclenches.
“Physician...” he whispers, brushing a thumb lovingly along the curve of your cheek. “Stay with me. Please."
