No One Knows It's You

Marcie York | Agent 009

[rockymountaingothic]

Yes but how do I know that you’re dating me for my heart and not for my international criminal empire

[entropy-archive-blog]

Because your international criminal empire is what you do, and not who you are.

[rockymountaingothic]

That is so sweet I might just stab someone

Mauric quote marcie york SOBBING soooooo accurate tho bc a part of him will wonder if she's just trying to get close to him to take him down and another part won't care 

And the thing is, Marcie automatically will always say that no, it's not about taking him down. it's never about taking him down.

It's more like... Auric has a gravity to him, and the farther away Marcie is from him, the less pull her heart feels towards him. But the instant he appears back in her life? Marcie can't help but be pulled into the rotation around him.

But this time, the problem is that others start to see that as well. Beyond just Alex. And therefore, the powers that be decide to use this gravitational pull against Auric, and, in a way, Marcie herself.

If she had her way, Auric would never be in danger of leaving a situation in a body bag. Marcie doesn't want him dead, never wanted him dead. She just can't do it. It's not a possibility for her. Marcie's got a heart of cold steel, but when it comes to Auric, she could never in a million years pull the trigger.

And dismantling his empire would be just as bad as killing the man, so it'll be interesting to see how MI-6 decides to work around that failing of hers. What sort of secrets they'd keep to have her be his destruction.

DON'T MIND ME.

JUST HAVE SOME MAURIC FEELS.

ooc | Alex & Marcie

[thinkonalex]

Haha, omg I love their relationship actually. ;DD And I feel like Alex would have at first been like, “No this needs to be done” or whatever, especially after he was first injured and doing a new job and whatnot, but I feel like hs’ probably at the point now where he doesn’t even try to bother saying no to Marcie like what’s the point. ;DDD

Also, he secretly loves and appreciates it every time. ;DDD

Okay, so before you and Kate really plotted Marcie/Goldfinger, Kate was thinking that maybe that was a mission that Marcie and Alex did together??? IDK if that would still work with what you guys have tho???? 

[thinkonmarcie]

Hahaha! I mean, I think everyone's lives at MI-6 would go a lot smoother if they realizes that there's no point in saying no to Marcie. ;D She's willing to wait... Everyone breaks and says yes to her eventually.

AND GOOD. BECAUSE MARCIE WILL TOTALLY TAKE HIM ALL THE PLACES SO THAT HE EATS WELL AND IS HAPPY. BECAUSE MARCIE WANTS ALEX TO BE HAPPY, OKAY?!

And yes! I think we've talked a lil' bit more about all of that now, but yes, Alex and Marcie definitely went on that mission together. Though that was also the mission where Marcie earned her 00 status. Now, Alex is two years older than her, do you think he already had his 00 status at that point, or were they doing that together you think?

Also, we might want to get into how Alex felt about Marcie and Andris/Auric being together was. Because I'm sure she tried to keep it under wraps for as long as possible, but couldn't do it forever. I'm pretty sure she originally tried to pass it off as being 'part of the mission' but it also pretty obviously wasn't.

Then there's also the whole thing now of how Marcie, um... is 100% gonna start dating Auric under MI-6's nose now that he's back too. I was thinking it was gonna go another direction, but in my head Marcie's like: "nope! I totally am seeing him."

(And there's a lot of stuff about being scared about where she really stands with Q, and whether or not she's made the right choices in life up to this point, etc. etc. that feeds into that, but ANYWAY)

So idk if we wanna talk about whether Alex might be able to pick up on that a bit easier than others, or what.

Oh, and I guess there's also the thing now where Marcie wears a gold locket Andris gave her 24/7 since that mission. Which I'm sure Alex also knows about from, y'know, ~being there and would notice that she STILL wears it even years later.

And You Let Her Go | Mauric

There was something to be said about the merits of Bill Tanner. He was reasonably intelligent, handsome in a Marlon-Brando way, not to mention a terribly good shag... But Marcie York never could quite get over the way Bill never seemed to be able to sense when she'd become irrevocably bored.

As such another moment was quickly coming to a head, the young woman thanked God and England for cigarettes. A nasty habit they said nowadays, but damned if they weren't a perfect excuse for any situation.

"I'm sorry, but I'll just be a minute, darling, you know me and these horrible cigarettes. You've been telling me to quit for years, I know, but I suppose I never can quite get the hang of it." She said as smiled gently at the other man, hooking her purse over her shoulder and standing. "Go ahead and order dessert for me. Something with chocolate."

Marcie brushed a soft kiss against Bill's cheek, squeezing his shoulder before slipping out the back door of whatever this hip new restaurant Bill had taken her to this time was called. It was a game of his, trying to impress her with the extravagance of the dates he concocted for them.

Didn't change the fact that they were both playing the parts of adulterer and mistress by rote by this point.

This is all getting so tiresome... Marcie thought as she leaned against the brick wall, striking a match against the rough surface and lighting up her cigarette. How much longer do I have to pity Bill in order to get out of this stalemate with Q? Smoke swirled in soft halos around Marcie's face, the girl looking so very out of place amongst the dumpsters and piled cardboard in her shimmering dress and her golden hair falling to her shoulders in perfected curls.

It was hard enough to keep herself from checking her phone for the thousandth time that night, wondering if Q had left her any messages. Then again, when Jackie had let it 'slip' that she'd be out with Bill tonight, just as Marcie had instructed her to do, maybe he'd taken it as a sign to leave her alone instead of enticing him further like she'd hoped.

In the end, Marcie was never quite as strong as she looked. Slender fingers pulled her phone out and quickly plugged in the number for voicemail.

You have no... new messages...

With a frustrated growl, Marcie flicked her cigarette away with a bit more force than necessary, watching the red-gold embers soar like a shooting star across the concrete.

"I hate you..." She muttered under her breath to the cell phone. Yet a shadow of movement at the end of the alley caught Marcie's eye. Instantly she flipped to agent-mode, exchanging the cell phone in her hand for the gun secured under her dress.

Usually Marcie was a talk-first, shoot-later kind of girl, but in a moonlit alleyway, well... Precautions should be taken.

"Bill, darling? Sorry if I've worried you, I just needed a breath of fresh air... Stuffy in that place." Marcie called out despite being fully aware that the figure wasn't Bill at all, fingers adjusting their grip as she watched and waited.

[thinkonauric]

That’d make him break into a grin of his own: he loves to see her giggle, the way her face lights up and her blue eyes seem to sparkle.

[thinkonmarcie]

Which of course she'd roll her eyes at if he ever told her before she'd playfully punch his shoulder and call him silly for saying as much, but she'd still smile and her face would flush a little.

Because how obvious, how typical of someone to say to their lover. But she'd also hear in his voice how very unusual that would be for him. Because Marcie wouldn't know yet just how much they were an exception for him, but there would be signs.

And on the same level, she wouldn't know yet how much of an exception Auric is for her as well. And I think that'll become a major problem now that he's back. Because what is she going to do with this man who meant (and to some extent still does mean) so much to her?

Especially when her heart very much does lie with William as well.

CONUNDRUMS.

OOC | Mauric

Ok, so idk where we left these two exactly on tumblr, but I feel like we might be ready to start them ic, yes? If so, do you wanna do a completely new thread? Work from where we left them off via text? Start fresh, rping that ~kind of encounter with more complete whatever? Idk basically WANNA DO SOME MAURIC WITH ME, PLEEEEASE??? ;DDDDDDD

[thinkonmarcie]

Haha. Idek either, man. xD

But I think we are so super ready to start them i.c. Like we haven't been sobbing about these two for days.

Though good question about where to start them. Might be a good idea to start fresh, re-do that same sort of encounter, but fleshing it out a bit more? Especially now that we've talked a bit more about them. Idk. I'm up for either re-starting that encounter, or going with right afterwards/the next day maybe. (CAUSE WE BOTH KNOW MARCIE IS PROBS SPENDING ALL NIGHT WITH AURIC, AMIRIGHT?!)

[mrgaretcarter]

[thinkonmarcie]

“Why do we have to be married? Or not married? Why can’t we do what the hell we like? Men can. They can sleep with woman without getting a name for themselves, they can have careers. Well, I am going to do exactly what I like and to hell with the rest of them.”

[thinkonauric]

OOC | Goldfinger & Marcie

So last night, I totally just threw out that maybe these two had some past connection as an example but then I was thinking…maybe they really did???? Idk what that’d be, but yeah. Like, maybe while he was on his way up, he was working for ~someone he didn’t like and so he betrayed that person to Marcie? Or maybe Marcie even infiltrated that organization and they worked together and Auric helped her take down the then-big shot…so that Goldfinger to jump into his spot the second he was gone? Idk. Thoughts??????

[thinkonmarcie]

.... *quietly sobs* GOLLDDDDFINNGGGAAHHH.

PRETTY GIRL, BEWARE OF HIS HEAAARRTT OF GOOLLDDDD. HIS HEART IS COLLLDDDD...

Basically I cry over these two on the daily now.

I forgot that I hadn't responded to this, but I feel like we basically went ahead and plotted them anyway. xD

Re: the OOC post to Alex. ahahaha.

Did I have any new headcanons today? I'm trying to think of if I had any...

I think I was trying to figure out exactly how the whole faking Auric's death thing happened. Like if she/they planned it or if she basically split-second decided that she just couldn't kill him. I haven't decided yet. xD Any thoughts?

[thinkonmarcie]

Maybe I'll Get Drunk Again | Willcie

"Garçon! Garçon! Another Manhattan please!"

The tell-tale slurring was the mark of yet another Friday night at Eight, one of the many members-exclusive clubs that Marcie York had wormed her way into ever since joining with MI-6. It wasn't quite as glamourous as Annabel's, or as trendy as Amika's, but Eight was quite the boy's club, which suited Marcie just fine. After a drink or two, she always seemed to have a hankering for finding a handsome young man to entertain her.

Tonight was no exception either, with two GQ-cover-ready men lounging against the bar where Marcie sat, her sixth martini glass of the night finally drained as she giggled at a joke the red-head told her, leaning towards him and brushing a perfectly manicured hand along his bicep.

"Darling Russell, you are simply wicked! I've never laughed so in my life!"

For a moment the man just looked at her confusedly, before his mouth twisted into a slightly awkward smile. "...Uh, my name's Randall, Marcie."

As if she remembered their names. The names weren't important. Just that they were beautiful and looked nothing like the shaggy-haired, bespectacled man she'd left behind at headquarters.

"Oh, oh darling, I'm so sorry. That's right. Randall! We've chatted before haven't we, Randall? A few weeks ago, yes. Have you met Charles yet?" She gestured to the blonde next to her, smiling and brushing a soft kiss against his cheek. "He's such a darling. Plays a terrible hand of poker, but I think he just likes watching how excited I get when I win."

The three of them laughed as Marcie picked up her fresh Manhattan glass and took a long sip. Yes, tonight was going splendidly. The room was spinning in a pleasant manner, her two boys for the night were chatting with each other instead of annoying her with their boring stories about the day's stock market numbers...

It wasn't until out of the corner of her eye she thought she caught a glimpse of a familiar cardigan that Marcie's heart began to pound in her ears. Would she really fall like that again? Of course, half the reason why she even went out nights anymore was to see him outside of work. Outside of the constrictions they both put upon themselves, trying to remain professional, trying not to imagine how much she wanted to just push him up against the nearest flat surface and kiss him senseless.

Marcie shook her head to clear her thoughts as she realized that Charles had asked her a question.

"Ah, sorry dears. I drifted for a second. Though, would you excuse me? Just have to go powder my nose... Now, no fighting while I'm gone, do you hear me? Tonight is ladies' choice." She raised an eyebrow in the boy's direction, before a small smirk twirled at the corner of her lips. "But maybe, just maybe, if you're both very good, perhaps I can teach you both a lesson in sharing... in private." Marcie winked at the boys, their jaws slowly dropping as she wandered away towards the bathroom, pulling her cell phone out and punching in the one number she had memorized from the moment they met.

...Hello?

"Ah, Q, perfect. You're not in bed yet. Any chance you feel like a bit ofa nightcap?"

[laurenplayspeople]

"Get out of here before I change my mind about keeping you alive, Auric."

"Isn’t that what you said the last time you almost killed me? … my fondest sin."

[janiespinkteapot]

[thefassyonshow]

[thinkonmarcie]

Ask from Jackie

Jackie most def is Team Willcie! On the other hand, idk that she has a problem with stray guys, but esp now that Bill’s engaged, she might not like seeing him around?

That makes sense. Maybe Jackie was more okay with it before Bill was engaged? (Maybe still not totally pleased because he was totally seeing Mary Goodnight at the same time, but at least they weren't married or anything...) And now that he is, she's like: "Seriously Marcie. You can't keep doing this." So maybe Marcie made the concession of at least not bringing him 'round to their flat?

Though, tbqh, I feel like in general Marcie didn't bring him to their flat much anyway. Something to do with not wanting him to feel too comfortable in her space. Like she wouldn't let him even think about taking over the space that was hers and hers alone, because it'd be too close into letting him subconsciously think he could ever own her.

Which might be an interesting look into how Marcie sees Will as well, through the base fact that she DOES allow Will into her and Jackie's space, and even moreso that she lets him sleep over all the time. He might even have a small space in her closet like she might at his place.

Who knows?

Basically, Willcie is all but together, tbqh. They're just dumb and haven't actually, like... SAID anything to each other yet.

[thinkonwilliam]

ooc || Will & Marcie

[thinkonwilliam]

IT’S TRUE THOUGH. EVERYONE SERIOUSLY DOES. AND IT’S, LIKE, MY FAVORITE THING EVER. BECAUSE I LOVE WILLCIE SO MUCH. EVEN THEY SHIP IT. THEY’RE JUST KIND OF THICK AS WELL.

But pffttt. Bill. He can just go away, haha.

Anyway, YES. THAT IS PERFECTION. Flipflopping roles, haha. So now Will gets to be the one constantly worried. Oops. But yes!! That is super perfect!! And oh man. Maybe when Will was first assigned to be her quartermaster they had a meeting similar to Bond/Q and she was just left there like “O_O what just happened?” because maybe he wasn’t quite what she expected or something like that? And she was also super confident because of Bill, haha. (How long has she been with Bill? Has it been on/off again since, like, right after she started at MI6?)

OH. OH YES. THEY SHOULD TOTALLY CRASH ON EACH OTHER’S COUCHES. AAAAAAH. (Like that time on the Hour when Freddie’s all just going to crash on Bel’s couch and she’s just like OUT YOU. Except there’s no kicking the other out. … Or maybe there is because of ~Bill, haha. Though she’d probably actually go to his place or a hotel because of Jackie?) BUT OH MAN. WILL WOULD TOTALLY LET MARCIE SLEEP IN HIS BED. He’d act like he is totally against it but would secretly be pleased, haha. AND THEN HE WOULD BLUSH RED AS A TOMATO. BECAUSE SHE’S IN HIS BED. MAYDAY MAYDAY SHE’S IN HIS BED. AAAAAAH. So I guess Freddie and Bel reversed again there too, haha.

Also totally want Marcie to call him when she’s drunk and Will, like, sigh and come to pick her up and then just take her back to his flat since she’d never make it all the way home. Maybe Will lives close to the pubs she usually frequents? Because I actually can’t see him driving, haha. (I can sooo see that being the one skill he hasn’t mastered. Maybe Marcie tries to teach him at some point and he’s all I CAN DETONATE A HIGH SECURITY BOMB IN AMERICA WITH THE CLICK OF A BUTTON BUT WHY WON’T THIS BLOODY CAR STAY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD?! And is, like, a total failure when it comes to actually driving, haha.) So, yeah, I can see him dragging her the couple of blocks to his flat and then just letting her crash with him.

So basically they’re just super presh and super cute and jasjdfklsjdkfljsdf. I love Willcie so <33

[thinkonmarcie]

Haha. I mean, pretty much. xD Everyone is v. exasperated that Will and Marcie won't just get on with it. I bet M even has like a special dispensation thing sitting in her desk, waiting for when the two of them come to her like: "so, um... yeah... about us..." Then she'll just look at them, slap the paper on the desk and be like: "ABOUT BLOODY TIME. SIGN THE DAMN THING AND GET BACK TO WORK." Haha.

And oh my god, that'd be perfect. Like I bet it'd be almost word for word, except like different inflections/intonations, a lot more of Marcie gently flirting behind her total shock that her new Quartermaster is so incredibly gorgeous. And the smile she'd have after his Earl Gray/Pajamas quote. Oh, she'd be sunk, totally sunk.

As for Bill, I'm thinking they have been off/on since she came to MI-6 and was assigned as his partner, yeah. They were mostly on, though, until Will came. I think Will coming to work at MI-6 was what changed Bill and Marcie's relationship, whether she'll admit it or not.

Haha! ALWAYS CRASHING ON EACH OTHER'S COUCHES. Though, yeah, if Marcie had to slip away to see Bill, she'd probably just leave Will asleep on the couch and go off to whatever hotel she was meeting Bill in or go to his flat. I have a feeling that Jackie and Marcie may have a No-Bill-Tanner-in-the-flat understanding or something. Just because Jackie knows how Marcie really feels about Will, and that might be a way she tries to help? (I know you're around-ish Kate, so you can say one way or another if this would be true!)

Though poor Will, then. Because Marcie totally wouldn't be in the flat at all when he woke up, and it probably happens almost every time he sleeps over, because Marcie is a scaredy-cat and would run away to "safe" Bill.

And omg, yess. Haha. Marcie would be so pleased that he always agrees, too. Totally ends up snuggling with him and sleeping with her head on his chest or something. And tbqh, even despite the drinking, it's probably always the best sleep she ever has. Because she feels safe and comforted and just... happy.

YES. YES TO WILL LIVING RIGHT BY MARCIE'S FAVORITE BARS. Or, y'know, Marcie picking bars by Will's flat to be her favorites BECAUSE she knows they're by his flat. But how adorable, Will just groaning about having to pick her up again, as it's like the third time that week. (though her last mission had been difficult and she had come back looking fairly shaken--at least for Marcie.) And she's just laughing in the back corner with some random people she befriended, drink in hand as Will comes over, and she just lets out a loud yell, wraps her arms around Will's neck and kisses him soundly on the cheek. "Oh, darling. I'm so glad you came. These lovely boys and I were just dying for some fresh company, have a drink with us..." But Will probably is like: "aaah, how about we're done for the night? Come on, Marcie." and then brings her back up to his flat.

SHE PROBABLY HAS LIKE A DRAWER OR SOMETHING AT HIS FLAT TOO, BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN. OR, LIKE, CERTAIN CLOTHES OF HIS THAT SHE'S DRUNKENLY CLAIMED BEFORE, A CERTAIN T-SHIRT MAYBE AND A PAIR OF SHORTS, AND IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE MAYBE WILL JUST PULLS THEM OUT AS SOON AS HE SEES HER CALLING. *sobs forever*

I CAN'T WITH THESE TWO.

ooc | Alex & Marcie

[thinkonalex]

Okay, so if they went on a few missions together, I feel like they might have bonded?? At least w/ Alex, I feel like there’s probably some kind of like ~connection you make with someone who you are working with in a potentially life/death scenario, you know? And I think he’s also felt kinda responsible for the agents he’s worked with. 

Anyway, I feel like he would have been a little uncomfortable with her flirting with him at first, especially since Jason would be there making dry/sarcastic comments about it, but I think if they went on a few missions together, he’d relax about it and probably even tease her back from time to time. I feel like Alex would probably be able to tell about Marcie hiding behind her facade if he cared to look, since he’s pretty good at understanding how people work.

Also, if they are friends now, I think you are probably right about her being a release?? Like, he’s so quiet and withdrawn now, it’s good to have a few people who are there who can get him to like liven up a bit, you know?? And I feel like Marcie definitely would. Like she’d be all, “Come on, we’re going for a drink. Now.” 

[thinkonmarcie]

Awe bby!!! But yes! Totally would have bonded, especially because of, like you said, missions being such a life/death situation. And also Marcie is secretly SO PROTECTIVE. Like she's srsly a big ol' Mamma Bear about people, but tries to hide it. So I could see where over the course of a few missions, she'd get more and more emotionally attached and much more likely to be like: "....you're staying. I've decided."

And yeah. at first it would totally be Marcie testing the waters to see whether Alex could be another notch on her MI-6 belt. But eventually it'd become sort of a game, and just something to sort of show that she cares about him? Hiding it behind the fact that she's "like that with all the boys."

She totally would drag Alex about though. haha. Like if she noticed that he'd slept in his office for like three days straight, she'd literally walk into his office, grab his coat off the hook and pull Alex by his collar out of MI-6. haha. Doesn't matter if he''s in the middle of something. Marcie'd be all: "I'm taking you for a walk. Yes, like you're a dog. You've cooped yourself up in here too long." And then promptly take him out for a nice dinner and for drinks. Because Marcie deals in NICE THINGS and because Alex is a NICE PERSON he deserves NICE THINGS. <3
