If I were the kind of person to leave plot bunnies and run, I would say that it's quite likely that Root is being run on errands for The Machine. Many of them seem like make work or otherwise unrelated plots, much to the aggravation of Root, who has several instances where she threatens to just go find Shaw, with or without The Machine, only for this particular mission to turn out to have been somewhere that Shaw was, and a pointer in the direction of where they went next. The Machine is trying to protect a great asset from getting killed and setting back its plans, Root is trying to get The Machine to just tell her where Shaw is. At some point, Root realizes that Shaw just might be someone she would give up The Machine for. And that's when the Machine is finally ready to let Root go see Shaw...
I wish I had some Root/Shaw recs to share! I haven't read much of them in the past couple of months, but I should really change that...
For icon requests, I have a few on my own wishlist if you're interested in doing any of them :) Or Harvey Bullock or Harvey/Jim from Gotham would also be great.
oh I can do podfic recs! from some light snooping on your AO3, it looks like we don't overlap on a whole lot of fandoms, but I've still got some ideas :D
for PoI I rec:
stomach vs heart read by fire_juggler (root/shaw) Ring read by lunate8 (john/finch, 16min) Self Defense read by podcath (35min (it's a bit longer than you wanted but it's GREAT) Detritus read by podcath (john/finch, 20min) if you don't mind self-recs, I'm really happy with the rest is silence (john/finch, 17 min) love and marriage (john/finch, 32 min) electric (root-centric, 6min)
