James Moriarty & Maximilian Richter from “Angels&Demons” SEQUEL 1/3
Many thanks to @cocomoraine who encouraged me to come up with a sequel for this Jarllan idea, here it comes Professor Moriarty’s next bestseller “Dos and Don’ts of seeing your Ex”.

BEFORE WE START, PLEASE JUST LOOK AT HIS PRECIOUS FACE
THIS IS MY YOUNG MORIARTY
JUST KEEP IT WITH YOU WHEN YOU READ THIS IDEA
So when Max shows up at Cambridge, James is, in fact, a little bit alarmed and worried. He may be a ruthless criminal but I don’t think he’s a total sociopath. He knows what he has done to Max and he’s indeed very worried that Max is here to break every bone in his body.
But Max is not here for personal reasons, though he’d very much love to push James out of the window at the moment, since when he woke up from a coma five years ago, he found that the one he took a bullet for was long gone, like James didn’t give a shit about him at all. Max is not gonna give some of his best smile to this man who “betrayed” and “toyed with” him. He’s pissed off alright.
So what brings Max here? Well, this idea actually is set in the same time as “Angels & Demons” so there’s a pope conclave (election) going on but five cardinals (“preferiti”, favorite candidates to be pope ) were abducted from Vatican the day before, one cardinal managed to leave some messages behind and that is “Get Moriarty”.
Wow, that’s a fucking red alert. Of course Vatican would think it’s Moriarty did this, considering his past history as discussed in the prequel that he messed with Opus Dei and Masonry and got away with it five years ago. However, the reason why they sent Max, the commander of Swiss Guard (armed forces protecting the safety of the pope and of course all the cardinals in the papal palace), rather than some agents or even Interpol after him, is that they thought Moriarty wants to play a new game with them and they have no choice but at least to listen to him before declaring war, because, again, Moriarty is not someone you can just snatch from his flat.
And yeah, FYI, James didn’t do it. He was enjoying his school time with eager students, temporarily putting down his hat of being the highest-charging consulting criminal in London.
Max knows who James really is, because during these five years, he’s grown from a confused newbie who just got am untimely promotion, to a competent dignified commander who knows stuff, and that stuff, though toughened him up, also broke his heart. So he cuts the bullshit and fires away “Did you do it, you scum? I know who you are and what you’ve done all these years. Don’t bullshit me with your cute naive nerdy look.”
James replies (with confidence), “no, what the hell could I possibly do with five cardinals? Molesting little boys together? Look, I know I messed with some big boys in Vatican but I have no wish going back there. They know who I am and want me dead. I am a criminal but I’m still looking forward to my retirement in Bahamas. I’m not sducidal.” [My apologies, bad catholic jokes. If you’re religious, please don’t continue reading this, cause it’s gonna be very, I mean, VERY offensive since James is an atheist and he’s still trying to corrupt a devout catholic here.]
Although Max really hates James at this moment, he find his words very compelling (not the one about little boys but the rest). But Max demands James flying to Vatican with him because he must have something to do with this abduction since one of the cardinals left a message asking them to get Moriarty.
James has to agree, because a) Max threatens to knock him out and just put him on a plane in a sack, and b) He can’t say no to Max, to whom he owes so much, and if there’s a c) he missed those strong hands and piercing blue eyes and *cough* a certain part of Max that often made him wonder, okay, why is the weather, food and sex all so bad in Britain?
Don’t talk about your new guy
Technically, James doesn’t talk about his “new guy”. Max bumps into James’s current lover in the flat and he has the heart to smack James on the face with a metal bin lid.
(Okay, I wasn’t gonna use Jon Hamm in this idea but I’ve been absolutely smitten with him for a while and they had such fun in Mad Men.)
So, yeah, Max keeps such a poker face that he glares at this “American” who makes himself quite at home here and just casually puts on a bathrobe, eating crackers and looking Max up and down.
Okay, since I love this ex vs current bf idea so so much, I’m gonna give this American, also a play boy, a name. How about Sebastian Moran? Jon does look like one Sebastian, I have to say. No disrespect to the canon but since I’m doing a modern Moriarty Angels& Demons crossover AU, I can’t think of anything that’s more insane, so basically I can go absolutely bonkers and do whatever I want.
Now this ex-military man becand a partner-with-benefit with James a short while ago, his cover is an investment manger in London FiDi (or it’s actually called “the city”?)
Anyway, Max averts his eyes when Sebastian kissing James goodbye while pinching his ass. He’s wondering if there’s a way to tie these two fuckers together on a rocket and send them straight up to the moon.
