prompt of the day: voyeur harold

(I know there's already a bunch of fics for this already, please do link!)

Harold who only gets off on watching. Perhaps his interests are broad and varied, so long as the people he watches are having fun - perhaps he intentionally seeks out variety.

and of course John indulges him, by hooking up with other people where harold can watch...

Yesss, I LOVE this trope.

First rec that comes to mind is Such a Good Boy by ChancellorGriffin [AO3 link]. I might give it a reread, thanks to this post <3333

ETA: Here's the Voyeurism tag for Reese/Finch. Other personal faves include DWIM by Croik and I Spy by Dien.

Well, no wonder Finch was so set on building a Machine to watch everyone, if he's personally aware of how intimate it can be!

It's more audio than visual, but I've always enjoyed astolat's tumblr fic Proxy (to which the possibly dubcon tag does apply).

Oh, wow - I was also thinking like 'hee, how appropriate for Finch', but totally hadn't thought of the intimacy thing!

Mm, Harold like - even more set on building the Machine and having the Machine be the one the government uses, because like, yeah, if something's going to watch everyone it better be something good, that recognizes the gravity of that, that cares...

(Which to be clear, still not actually good etc, or good consent in any way. But I can see him thinking that way).

oooh, yes, i like this. and you know john gets off on serving harold in any and every way possible. he gleefully scopes out targets that he thinks harold would particularly enjoy, not just based on physical appearance but also the target's skills and preferences.
