“Number Four Hundred Thirty-Seven” by X-art (not rated)
Fandom: Person of Interest
Pairing: John Reese/Harold Finch
word count: 5292
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://archiveofourown.org/users/x_art/pseuds/x_art
Why this must be read:
This story is one of those that just feels right. It was one of the first I ever read in the fandom, after having viewed and episode or two and looking for slash fic. The author has tagged it as “future fic”, written early in the first season of the show and the title refers to the four hundred thirty-seventh Number that Reese and Finch are helping. X-art sits us down toward the end of the plot situation and we finish up the case through Reese’s eyes, after which he heads home to be with Finch.
Canonically, neither Reese nor the viewers know where Finch actually lives, but since this fic is set in the future with an established relationship, we do apparently know about Finch’s living situation. And Reese is living with him. They are portrayed here as having recently become a couple, with comfortable routines yet who still have surprises for each other. Finch is building a room for Reese to have target practice and Reese is teaching Finch how to break into a safe. They share dinner, some banter and lovemaking before sleep after Reese has helped yet another Number.
When I encountered this story, it whetted my appetite for more fic in this universe and I often return to it, finding it a sweet, secure, welcoming slice of the life the two main characters of the show share.
