Cold war era spy thriller AU! Who's KGB, who's CIA, who's an independent agent, who's doing what and on which side of the Berlin wall?
Okay well this is a genre I don’t know much about, but here’s my thoughts.
Owen ends up getting recruited as a spy by accident after he sleeps with a hot undercover CIA agent and then oops, people are shooting them now and it’s time to run with all the state secrets Gavin had in his briefcase.
Meanwhile his cousin Ron has somehow managed to get involved with a counterintelligence officer who hides in the woods breaking codes all day and occasionally has to move to a different house in the woods (how many does he have??) because he decides he’s been compromised.
Edwin could care less about the war, but that didn’t stop him from learning German and Russian so he could go east of the wall to find his brother who’s in deep cover in the DDR somewhere.
Franz as a politician who’s mostly concerned with rooting out spies inside the government. He claims his dog can smell a Russian from ten feet off, but actually he’s just got Boey and Frederick, who both kind of know everything. His engagement to Gabrielle was a political ploy to draw attention from spies, but hey, they get along so may as well get married while they’re at it.
Cordelia’s been stuck in Iraq for a long time now. She’s the global expert on what’s going on there, she’s a government attache who’s monitoring the fight against the Russians. It’s helpful on that front to be married to double-turned-triple agent who knows a lot about the other side of the conflict.
Cal and company are officially not affiliated with a spy agency, but they sure do spend a lot of time in Moscow planting false information and learning what kind of gadgets the KGB is coming up with these days, even after they’re joined by ex(but not really)-KGB Sully on a trip to Cuba, who they know is there to keep an eye on them, and it’s this big mess of people keeping an eye on each other in the name of world peace.
Isaac isn’t a spy (can you imagine Isaac being a spy, Jesus), but he sure has managed to stumble on what it is turning out to be a hell of a spy game at his English parochial school. He really wishes he hadn’t been handed that encrypted notebook that day. How the fuck was he supposed to know that complimenting someone’s cheekbones was an intense spy codeword that would put him in the middle of a global conflict and what is he supposed to do with a notebook full of nuclear access codes anyway?
Pax really wishes his plane hadn’t had to go down in this particular jungle in Argentina, because now he’s stuck with all these Nazi hunters who are trying to bring people to justice and that’s awesome, he’s Jewish and Nazis are kind of the worst ever, but he’s literally not sure what side Natalie and Nate are on and they won’t tell him and he can’t ask outright because if they’re on the wrong side and they find out that he’s not, that would be very, very bad.
Daniel’s a KGB agent who was sent to gather information on, and eventually kill, the head of a Western corporation that’s taking advantage of the proxy war in the Middle East, and well, the longer he spends with Theodore in his rich house, the more he’s realizing that capitalism really is as bad as it’s chalked up to be.
Travis enters military training in the officer school as a double agent for the east. Joey is going to fuck his whole operation up if he’s not careful, but he’s also not totally sure that someone didn’t plant Joey there as well. His money is on the French.
Sam’s not patriotic. Sam likes money and violence and if someone offers him one and the promise of the other, he’ll take out whoever. He’s on every most wanted list on earth, except that the heads of nearly every spy agency on earth also have his phone number, so really it’s not like they’re trying that hard to find him, you know? Conveniently, none of them actually have his picture. They have a picture, but it looks suspiciously like Henry. He’s really, really hoping that he can manage to cause a nuclear war soon, but people keep foiling him (Henry keeps foiling him).
