    Summary

    Agent Twilight has never been one to shy away from a mission, even if that mission requires as much from his body as it did from his mind. But Operation Strix is pivotal to the fate of Ostania and Westalis, and he cannot let another assignment compromise the integrity of his primary mission, regardless of what is demanded of him.

    Or, Twilight is given a mission to seduce a prominent Ostanian duchess for information… while still being married to Yor “for the mission,” and Twilight refuses to cheat on his wife. No, it’s not because he’s been compromised, he just knows how important Operation Strix is. Stop reading into it!

    Summary

    Yor hummed in agreement, lifting her fork to her mouth. Her movements were slow and languid. Tiredness, perhaps? But something seemed off. Anya was blinking up at her Mama, and Bond began to whine. An unsettling pit formed in Loid’s stomach. Something was very wrong.

    Summary

    Sylvia was faced with a decision that unfortunately was within her paygrade to make. Didn’t make this shit any easier.

    ---

    Being a Handler meant doing the cost-benefits analysis on every mission your spies take. You have to weigh the potential for success and potential for losses against one another with realistic expectations. You need to have a deep understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of your people.

    Right now two missions lay before her as well as one bullet. It was time to decide who would die, Loid Forger or Twilight.

    Summary

    I love you, she longs to tell him, and she knows it's the truth. I love you, over and over again, pressing her lips on his neck and his face until the scent of her lingers on his skin, until she's more than a memory imprinted on every part of him. I love you now, I loved you then, I've always been in love with you.

    Or: When Yor and Loid's true identities come to light, Yor is forced to confront the possibility of him leaving - and what that means for her.

    Summary

    Loid and Yor had a great relationship. A great understanding about who they were to one another. So, when Yor asked Loid a more personal question, he was slightly thrown off, but it wasn't unwelcomed.

    They should probably know more about each other after all.

    Summary

    Being observant is a simple requirement of her job as Thorn Princess. As a side effect of being the very best at what she does, it bleeds into her everyday life. And no matter how she wishes she wouldn’t, she can’t help but see the little things her husband tries to hide from her.

    Summary

    Affection didn’t come naturally to Twilight.

    He could perform the usual (or unusual, if that was called for) on honeypot missions, of course. Those encounters were the nearest to affection he’d experienced in years. Decades. He did not count them.

    However, as affection was something he neither wanted nor needed, it wasn’t something he thought about.

     

    The ways affection becomes new again, known again, for Twilight over the course of his mission — and for the rest of the Forgers, too.

    Summary

    Filling the glass once more, Yor went into the main room.

    “Oh,” she breathed, swaying to a stop, “My…”

    Twilight had mussed his hair out of the strict, slicked-back he'd worn for cover, shaken his fringe out into his preferred looser style. Yor liked it best too, but that wasn't what had stopped her — that wasn't what tightened her stomach. He'd taken off his jacket, leaving his emerald vest over his shirtsleeves, rolled up to his elbows, forearms displayed, crossed over his chest. He'd removed his watch. Loosened his tie. Undone the top buttons of his shirt, collars spread to show the hollow of his throat.

     

    After Yor does the unexpected while on a joint-mission, an emotional Twilight suggests they do something new in bed, which thrills Yor.

    Summary

    "I'm sorry," he mutters, pulling up his trenchcoat to hide the bite mark purpling the skin at his neck. The widowed Mrs. Linwood was a…feisty woman.

    "I'm not your wife," she says without looking at him, their sleeping daughter tucked into her shoulder, "You didn't cheat on me,"

    The hickey throbs like an infect mosquito bite, "But, still I-,"

    "It's okay," she insists, as fragile as glass, "We're not, we're just..."

    She trails off, unable to define it. Because what they are seems so...complicated now.

    Summary

    “He’s seen your face. We can’t afford for him to live.”

    “He’s an essential part of Operation Strix. He dies, Yor will…she’ll leave. The cover will fall apart.” Even to his own ears, his rationale had broken down.

    -----

    In the sewers of Shellbury, Twilight miscalculates. With the fate of Loid Forger's brother-in-law hanging in the balance, WISE's top agent and his cover wife, the deadliest assassin in Ostania, now face grave perils and impossible choices like none they have ever had to endure before.

    Summary

    Preventing war was the goal, had always been the goal, Twilight reminded himself. Even if, unfortunately, the mission included children—including his own.

    That’s what he tried to remind himself, anyway, as Twilight signed the discharge papers and Yor gathered Anya up in her strong arms, but it wasn’t as easy as it once was. Not for Loid Forger after this incident.

    (“Incident,” the Handler had called it, and Twilight had barely managed to press his lips shut tight. An incident that nearly killed his little girl.)

    Summary

    Just as she pries her head off the bar, the band playing at the far end of the room stops their song and a new voice booms from the microphone.

    “I’m terribly sorry to interrupt but…”

    Yor whips around to see a man standing on the small stage in front of the band, squinting into the bright spotlights as he leans into the microphone. He looks exactly like Loid, except slightly more disheveled and unlike his usual polished self. Her heart sinks.

    Please don’t let that be Loid, she silently pleads.

    “I seem to have lost my wife.”

    She buries her head in her hands while mumbling curses.

    Yor and Twilight learn the truth about each other. Neither of them expected what unraveled afterwards.

    Summary

    After a stressful week, Yor suggests that Loid, Yuri, and Franky relax and go have a guy's night with just the boys. When they wake up the next morning, Loid's gun is missing is six bullets, Yuri's work camera is gone, and the car has a human sized dent in the hood.

    It also doesn't help that apparently the night before Loid called Yor in a drunken stupor and spoke a little too honestly about his feelings.

    Summary

    The same hands that are first to hurt Twilight when he's captured are the hands that will set Loid free. OR Yuri Briar learns that he actually doesn't want his brother-in-law in chains. (Almost a character study, because I think Yuri's melodramatic and kind of dumb, but not actually cruel enough to want Loid to be hurt as much as he convinces himself he does.)

    Based on the Mole Hunt arc of the manga and especially inspired by one panel on the last page of Chapter 89.

    Literal summary: Loid gets captured by the SSS while he's disguised as Yuri. Conveniently, that means Yuri can pretend being copied is why he was so angry and not because Loid is married to Yor. That doesn't make it much easier to keep Yor and Anya safe, but it gives them just enough wiggle room for both men to try - and to bond in the process.

    Content note: I tried to keep most of the torture off-screen, but it still gets pretty bad. Yuri and Loid are the focus for the vast majority of the time, and Yuri is literally known in-world for his ability to torture people, though he's not always responsible in the fic. More hurt than comfort.

    Summary

    laconic
    (adj.) expressing much in few words

    she knows, twilight thinks numbly. she has to know.

    his daughter is not book-smart, not really. if she would put in the effort to study, perhaps, but those thoughts are for another time.

    she knows, he thinks again, because there's a goon on the floor who's bleeding from the head and the apartment is a mess and the girl who is legally his daughter looks up at him with an astounding lack of fear or even surprise.

    anya's eyes are bright green and wide. she holds mr. chimera close to her chest, her mouth drawn to a tight line. it reminds him of a stern teacher, that gaze. it says too much. her eyes are too intelligent, all of a sudden.

    anya is a poor actor and an even worse liar, he knows.

    "papa?"

    "you knew," he finds himself saying.
