   Summary

   She's survived heartbreak, war, and the goddamn end of the world. But this shifty, smooth-talking "spy" with a penchant for making pre-war references in the most inopportune times might just be the death of her.

   Or, the one where two double-edged people with enough baggage between them to sink a ship team up in order to save the world.
