    Summary

    In person, she looks exactly like the black and white portrait on the cover of her book. She is conventionally beautiful, her blonde hair flowing just past her shoulders and blue-green eyes widening as I question her. On multiple occasions when I meet her she wears little to no makeup and dresses casually, like any other person walking down the street. But she is far from any other person walking down the street. She knows it, and after my first interview with her at the café, I know it too. As I look at her across the table, in the flesh, I have the same arresting feeling as when I first eyed her image on the book cover in my flat in London: something was haunting this woman.

    CHAPTER 4 BACK IS NEW. UPDATED ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2020 

     

    Post season 6, canon compliant story where Quinn survives season 6 finale and, with some help, manages to get a chance at that elusive normal life he's always wanted. Away from the Agency and the missions, for a little over three years he's been working hard to rebuild his health, keep a job, and try to live out the rest of his life doing some good, with no hope or agenda aside from finding a small, well-deserved measure of peace.

    That is until something happens, and he realizes he was a fool to believe he could escape the pull of the darkness. Reassured once again he has no place among normal people, he's determined to go back to the person he was before, leaving everything he's built in the last three years behind. He does so believing he's keeping a promise to an old friend. Until he realizes he's been trying to keep the wrong promise, and is forced to stay, step up, face his demons, and deal with them.

    Summary

    If Quinn had still been in Syria when Carrie visited with Otto During, this is something I keep imagining could happen. After all, they missed each other by a few days, right? He came back to Berlin right before she went there, what are the odds? When she was crying in that bathroom, all I could think of was "Where's Quinn when you need him?"

    I plan to make this a multi-chapter story if I don't get sidetracked by the 10 other fics I'm drafting based on Carrie/Quinn. THERE'S SO MANY WHAT-IFS IN THEIR STORY!

    Summary

    This is a little thing that popped in my head while I was re-watching season 4 and I wrote it down before it escaped me. I always wondered what Astrid thought of Quinn/Carrie's relationship, considering she was perceptive enough to throw the 'girlfriend' comment in there, I'd imagine that she noticed some other things, too. We see later on that she loved him in her own way, so that factors in a bit here, too. Just some reflections, from a different POV.

    Summary

    “What?” She challenged again, impertinent, moving her body even closer but he just responded by stepping back slightly, eyes holding hers. “Carrie, you’re drunk, strung out and you need to sleep.” His words were carefully neutral. He didn’t elaborate on what exactly what that had to do with the current situation but she had a feeling she knew what he meant. She wanted him to say it outright though, the fire in her stomach was pushing her to make him do something. She wanted to kiss him, that’s what she really wanted...

    Summary

    Set post-Caracas sometime towards the end of Tin Man Is Down.

    In the scene with Julia, Quinn says he had no one to talk to that would actually care and all I could think was "Good gracious, he didn't even consider calling Carrie." And it broke my heart a bit.

    So here's me making it right, because the scene with Julia was deleted and somehow Carrie knew about Caracas in season 4.
