    Summary

    [When Eddie leaves it’s not grandiose or dramatic. Eddie hugs him and Buck hugs him back, of course.
    He hides his face in the curve of Eddie’s neck and breathes in the scent of him, of pinewood and soap.
    Eddie’s fingers dig in his back, and he prays they might leave marks behind, scratch Eddie’s signature right into his skin, prays they might leave bruises on his very bones, let him keep Eddie right here, in his arms, forever.
    But eventually, gone as all good things do, Eddie pulls back. He smiles, and his eyes are a storm, warm honey clouded with lightning and thunder, and the only thing Buck can do is smile back. He’s never been good at goodbyes, he should be used to them. He isn’t.
    And then, just like that, Eddie’s gone, taking with him half of Buck’s heart and all the oxygen in his lungs.]

    OR Eddie leaves, and Buck sinks and sinks and then, eventually, he remembers how to swim

    Summary

    Ilsa pushes the front door open, arduously heavy, and finds Ethan wavering on the apartment steps outside.

    “Ilsa.” His ridiculous sunshine smile lights up his face, like he’s surprised to run into her here.

    She leans against the doorway, palm braced on the door to hold it open. “What do you want?”

    He doesn’t look good. If he were anyone else she’d assume he was drunk, but the exhausted, strung-out look on his face is a sober one. He’d been wandering around London for a while, too, judging by his wet hair and the soaked shoulders of his jacket.

    “I’m—is this a bad time?”

    “Extraordinarily.”

    Ethan’s problem is that he thinks he can just show up unannounced on her doorstep after disappearing for four months. Ilsa’s problem is that she invites him inside.

    Summary

    All Ilsa wanted was to go back to her hotel suite, have a good fuck with the escort that should be waiting for her, and then hopefully get a handful of hours of dreamless sleep before her next job awaited her.

    Summary

    He was the living manifestation of destiny, the definition of an impossible mission. He got the job done and she had utter faith in him to save the world whenever it was required.
    Ilsa, however, had no faith in herself. The more she thought of the choice, the more impossible it felt and she became more and more vexed at the beaten down expression looking back at her. She could be trusted to take a life on command, but not perform this task which some might consider basic? Those who would stand as far back as the sidelines, that was.
    How do I do it?
    The question would not leave her alone and just became more and more intensified like a pressure cooker. She felt like her brain was inflating from the inside and not because of the pressurisation of the commercial airliner on which she was travelling. She felt the internal forces building and building, ready to break through and cause the most explosive of decompressions.
    Just how do I ask out Ethan Hunt?

    #

    Following on from the events of Fallout (2018), Ilsa Faust must confront her feelings for Ethan Hunt while also investigating a near-disaster in the skies above Europe. Are there remaining sinister forces at play? Will she finally get her man?

    Summary

    When everyone was seated around the table, he met the young woman's gaze for the first time and was momentarily destabilized. By the depth of her gaze, by the piercing blue of her eyes, by her beauty or by the fact that he had the impression that she was reading his soul, he could not tell.

    Kinda a rewrite of Rogue Nation in an AU, the smut is coming in chapter 5 :)
