Title: Trust Gets In
Author: phoenixfalls (@AO3)
Prompt: "Person of Interest: Root/Shaw, trust"
Fandom: Person of Interest
Pairing: Root/Sam Shaw
Rating: G
Word count: 100
Summary:
Sam needs Root like she needs a hole in her head.
She makes a practice of never needing anyone, really. Security lies in self-reliance, in the ability to leave anything and anyone behind.
But as time passes, she cannot help but begin to trust Root. The lady’s a zealot, and only time separates her from martyrdom; that makes trust come easier.
People are complicated, emotions making actions and motives unpredictable. Zealots are pared down to their cause, nothing more. Root will kill her without blinking if Sam ever threatens the Machine; until that day, Sam can enjoy her without fear.
