Summary: I promised myself I wouldn’t make this a fic, but I have no self control so here we are. This is just a quick preview for the first chapter that I’ll put on AO3 as soon as I figure out where the hell I’m going with it. I’m really just posting this to force myself to actually write the rest of it. Enjoy!

“Is there a Lieutenant Fick here?”

It would have been great to say that Nate reacted fairly calmly to hearing his name, but honestly he stood up so straight so fast he nearly knocked himself out on the counter he’d been cleaning under.

“Who’s asking?” Nate replied, wiping the cleaning solution from his hands with a rag and trying to play off his surprise. Standing at the end of the bar was a tall, broad man in a khaki jacket and a baseball cap, a little scruffy but definitely not unattractive. Actually, Nate thought he was considerably attractive, but he kept his smile polite.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.”The man apologized, taking off his cap. In truth, Nate had heard the door open and the man approach, but he hadn’t paid it much thought. What had shocked him was hearing his old title after almost four years.

“Nah, it’s not your fault. I get caught up in the work is all,” Nate said, waving it off and motioning that he was still listening as he continued to wipe down the counter.

“I’m Mike Wynn. Uh, a guy named Rudy gave me this card and said I should talk to Lieutenant Nathaniel Fick?” The man said, pulling a worn business out of his wallet and handing it over to Nate. Frowning a little, Nate turned the piece of stiff paper over in his hand. The edges were worn and the crease down the center was pressed firmly. He knew Rudy kept every business card he ever received tucked safely away so obviously this ‘Mike Wynn’ had been fiddling with this card for a while, or at least often.

Rudy wouldn’t have sent him a client unless it was legit, but Nate was still a little wary. He and his team operated outside the law, he had to be. He scanned Wynn quickly but carefully. Blonde hair, probably a lot of sun. Close-cropped haircut, probably military especially considering the heavy stress he seemed to put on Lieutenant involuntarily. He was half-turned to face Nate, but obviously kept the door in his peripheral and he leaned heavily on his back foot like he was ready to take off at a moment’s notice. Something was clearly worrying him so Nate weighed his options quickly and nodded.

“Alright, Mr. Wynn. Why don’t you take a seat and I’ll hear you out,” He said, cracking a smile as he watched the realization dawn on Mike’s face that he was speaking to the man he was looking for. “And call me Nate. No one’s called me ‘sir’ in almost four years. Not seriously, at least.” Mike nodded in agreement and waited for Nate to settle in the barstool beside him.

“So, how can we help you, Mr. Wynn? I assume Rudy told you about the services we provide,” Nate said, jumping right into business. The bar as empty like it usually was on weekday afternoons, so he wasn’t worried about discretion.

“Actually not really, he just said you could help with a problem I’ve been having. Wouldn’t tell me anything but that,” Mike shrugged.

“Well, how about you tell me about the problem you’re having and we work backward from there,” Nate said and moved to sit in one of the booths instead of at the bar.  Mike hesitated but followed.

“Alright, sure.”

Attention GK fandom friends

GUYS. GUYYYYS. REMEMBER THIS? The Man in the High Castle AU thingie that @reallyohcrap and I foolishly started writing TEN YEARS AGO? (If you don’t know, feel free to browse the official fic tag, and the early stages tag)

IT. IS. DONE. IT IS COMPLETE. My god, we thought this day would never happen but HERE IT IS.

Now, we need a volunteer to read the whole thing over, because Maria and I are sick of it, we just want to publish it and be done with it, but it’s probably full of mistakes and typos and things, and also it needs to  make sense to someone who hasn’t debated every single detail at length and had the story in their brains for years.

WARNING: It’s LONG (we’re talking between 90 and 100k long, I reckon? I lost count), and a bit of a mess. We would really appreciate anyone willing to lend a fresh pair of eyes and a clean brain to make sure we won’t embarrass ourselves too much when we finally present the fic as our awkward christmas present to the fandom.

If you’re interested, send me or @reallyohcrap a message and we’ll get back to you asap! Thanks in advance HAVE A LOVELY DAY, DEAR FANDOM.
