Bookmarker's Notes
So good! Clearly a ton of research & forethought went into this.
Yassen/Alex give me similar vibes to Nicky/Joe (from 'The Old Guard').
And (delightfully!!!), ch. 19 is the most HTP-adjacent thing I've read outside of an actual HTP fic. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Summary
When one of you is a (semi) retired assassin and the other a teenage secret agent attempting to navigate University life, then telling stories over the telephone may be the best way you have to keep in touch.
Sometimes though, stories can take on a life of their own.

Bookmarker's Notes
Yassen tells Alex a story about fictionalized Yassen/Alex in Greece.
lushly described settings + meta storytelling stuff
How to describe what sex is like? […] How else to describe what it’s like to spend years immersed in death, only to be suddenly, dazzlingly, surrounded by life? “It’s very nice,” he amends.
At times, he reminds Yassen very much of John Rider. Although John had laughed more than his son does. But then, John Rider had had a loving wife and a living sibling, while neither Alex nor Yassen have either of those things. So perhaps John Rider had simply had more to laugh about than they do.

Summary
Alex always knew his curiosity and impulsiveness would get him into trouble. It got him tangled up with MI6, after all. He hadn't expected it to land him in the middle of SCORPIA as Yassen Gregorovich's apprentice. No pairings, AU after Skeleton Key.

Something in Alex felt oddly warm at the thought that someone cared enough to do that for him. MI6 never seemed to care much if he got injured or almost killed. Just … patch him up and send him right back in. Yassen cared enough to get even. Something about that made Alex feel kind of warm and fuzzy for all that it was a completely inappropriate reaction to mass murder.

Summary
Written for the prompt: Yassen comes to the Rider home to kill Ian and notices Alex. Knowing Alex can't be allowed to go free because he's seen his face, Yassen kidnaps him. Alex is furious at Yassen for kidnapping him, but he's equally furious at Ian that his entire life has been a lie, and strangely drawn to the assassin. Eventually, it all leads to sex. Alex puts up a fight out of pride and principle, knowing Yassen will win and glad of it, turned on at being fucked by the man who's killed the person who has been lying to him his entire life and telling himself he doesn't have to feel guilty about enjoying it if Yassen is forcing him. Yassen eventually lets him go, satisfied that Alex won't talk. Except...Yassen has thoroughly ruined him for normal sex. He can't get off unless he's being forced or fantasizing about being raped. He spirals, seeking out dangerous sex with dubious people, desperately trying to find Yassen again. He develops an obsession with the man who violated him, taking every mission Blunt throws at him in the hopes he'll encounter Yassen.
(Alex is sixteen at the start and eighteen at the end)
