Dating app Wildr, holds many possibilities for rabbit-shifter Adam Towers, and he is definitely hoping to bite off more than he can chew.

Le Chiffre (Jean) has returned yet again to the place of a long-lost whirlwind romance, as always secretly hoping to see Adam again after all this time. His luck has been bad since he lost him all those years ago, but maybe his luck has changed.

The Scoop by @desperatelyseekingcannibals
Tumblr post / Ao3
Adam Towers is looking for a scoop, and the last place he thinks he’ll find one is at the Poker World Championships he’s been assigned to cover by the crappy gaming mag he works for. But his chance to step into a tabloid career comes when he becomes convinced that the two semi-finalists - James Bond and the enigmatic “Le Chiffre” - are actually lovers. He is wrong.

Adam sat at the hotel bar just off from the grand foyer of the Montenegró hotel, swirling the colourful swizzle stick around his ridiculously expensive cocktail as he watched the crowd.
The tournament didn’t start for another day, but he had arrived a day early to get himself situated. Or at least he told himself that. Really there was something at the back of his mind that told him this assignment had to be the one to change things. He had nothing to base it on other than his desire for things to change.
Of all the assignments his shitty magazine had sent him on so far, this seemed the closest he was going to get to a chance at a scoop. He wasn’t sure what it was going to be, but he could feel it in his bones. And the way to ensure he didn’t miss it was to be there from the get go - get a feel for the place and people. And so far… it was boring as fuck.
Most of the players were old men, with wives so young that their mothers were possibly still in the womb when these guys were born. And they were all completely fucking rich, of course. Nothing interesting was happening. He didn’t particularly have any interest in the focus of the magazine, much less poker. Or any slow moving card game. He hadn’t even bothered to do any background on this one - it had been boring enough researching for his last assignment
Adam couldn’t even get the magazine to pay for this extra day as it wasn’t deemed necessary for business. He’d had to pay for it himself and take it as a day’s vacation. If he didn’t get a story he could sell to a one of the tabloids he’d been trying to break into, then he was going to have a tough few months ahead. Not to mention zero progress in his career. Either way, he needed to make or break it soon, otherwise he might as well kiss goodbye to all thoughts of a decent career.
Another cocktail later and cameras started to snap in the foyer at the entrance to the bar. He managed to see through the crowd that the two top players had arrived… together? It wasn’t clear, but there they were. The world’s top poker players and the men this tournament was realistically going to come down to - James Bond from Britain and Jean Duran from Albania, otherwise know as Le Chiffre.
Adam watched as the men talked jovially on their way through to the bar, leaving the photographers behind. They were easy with each other, must have spent a lot of time at tournaments together. And then as they reached the bar and the crowd parted to let them order, Duran placed his hand at the base of Bond’s back to guide him in front and to the space at the bar.
There was something in that gesture and the look on Duran’s face, an intimacy to it that was more than friendly rivals.
And that was when Adam was sure he’d found his scoop. How much would the tabloids pay for even a snippet on the titillating news that the top two poker players at the World Championship were in fact lovers?

Royale Instinct AU where the infamous poker game is held in London and includes a chance meeting between Le Chiffre and local tabloid journalist Adam Towers.
By the end of the poker tournament Le Chiffre is so besotted he sells out to MI5 and lives happily ever after with his new boy toy.
Panther
Explicit // M/M // Royale Instinct - Le Chiffre (Casino Royale)/Adam Towers (Basic Instinct) // Tags: Shifter AU, post-canon Adam, AU Le Chiffre, Bunny Adam, Panther Le Chiffre, fucking all night, domination (see note) Words: 7021, Chapters: 1/1
Inspired by and in conjunction with the Hop and Howl Series by the amazing @slashyrogue
Dating app Wildr, holds many possibilities for rabbit-shifter Adam Towers, and he is definitely hoping to bite off more than he can chew.
NB: Domination in this doesn't refer to bdsm or D/s - it is part of the social and sexual dynamics of shifters in this AU.

He knew very little about the man. His photo on the app was actually of his shifted self - a beautifully sleek panther - and information was bullet points. His Wildr name was MrNumber but that gave about as much away as Adam’s handle - BunnyFuckT0y.
When Adam had contacted him they had exchanged short messages about preferences and such. And so far he was still interested, if a little business like. He hoped it wasn’t going to be like the wolf all over and end in a damp squib.
Adam rapped his fingers on the bar and took a few more swallows of his pint. He had arrived early given that the guy knew what he looked like from the app but not vice versa. Hopefully he would spot Adam and not walk out. No, of course he wouldn’t walk out - Adam knew he was pretty gorgeous. His looks were definitely not something about to put anybody off.
He checked his watch and saw he should expect the man any moment, and hoped he would be prompt - time wasters in any sense being another of Adam’s pet peeves. The door opened and some obvious wolves walked in. Those really obvious ones where you could see it in their sense of dress and haircuts before you even scented them. Adam was about to turn away when a man followed in behind them. Dressed entirely in black. Black on black on black. Well, that was one way to commit to your inner shifter, Adam mused, able to scent the panther the moment the wolves moved to the bar.
The panther stopped and looked around the room until his predatory gaze fell upon Adam and he began forward. Adam shuddered under the man’s intense eyes - one scarred but both bright and dangerous. He damn near came in his pants before MrNumber had even reached him.
Adam didn't attempt to look away as the man stepped to the bar, despite his herbie senses telling him he should cower, possibly run. He loved the zing it sent through his nerves.
"Adam." The man said, a statement not a question. Adam was thrown off for a moment but then remembered he had given his name in the private chat. His companion had not.
"Mr Number?" Adam's lips twitched into a grin.
"Le Chiffre." the man offered his name and his hand.
