Summary
It’s kidnapping 101, really — never let yourself be taken to a secondary location. Unfortunately, he doesn’t exactly have much choice — and between unknown secondary location and one of Russia’s most notoriously awful prisons, he’ll take his chances. The likeliness of the secondary location being worse isn’t all that high, he figures, even if the probability of him living long enough to see it isn’t great either.
Someone shouts something again, and he knows he’s stalled long enough that they’re not letting him get away with anything more. “Wish I could say it’s been a pleasure,” he mutters sarcastically as he wraps his hand back against the door handle and yanks it open, a burst of hot air burning against his skin as it spills forth from the car, “but I think I’d really genuinely rather d— Dylan?”
—
After the Horsemen all break up and walk away, Daniel stays behind — and decides to try and get Dylan out, no matter the cost. Fortunately, Dylan isn't in jail. The reason why is... not quite as expected.

In which Dylan has a reason for pulling the bs he does in NYSM3 that squares with “my only concern is the health and wellbeing of the Horsemen”…but unlike canon, Danny gets to find that out 9-10 years early

Summary
Their wedding was beautiful. He was a good man. He's been a good husband. Not perfect, sure, but she's hardly a picture-perfect wife by any stretch of the imagination. The wealth certainly didn't hurt (though Dylan offered her an eye-wateringly generous severance package that would have more than taken care of her and Violet and about five other kids), and neither did the opportunity to get her master's degree, and she told herself, over and over, that it was enough. She wanted adventure, and she wanted success, and she'd had both. She could settle down. She could make this into a new kind of adventure. It would be worth it.
She held Violet after she was born, and she almost convinced herself that it was true. She looked at James holding their daughter and crying, as overwhelmed with love and joy as she was, and she almost convinced herself. She held tight to her new family and called them her only family, and she almost convinced herself.

Bookmarker's Notes
With Henley Reeves, one question lingers: why would she, a renowned escape artist and thrill-seeker, give up magic to settle down in the suburbs?
This fic does such an amazing job at explaining why 💞 and what pulls her back
