Beautiful Crime by bellarkyy on AO3

Werner is a German soldier who clings to the voice of a girl who broadcasts over the radio. Marie is a blind French girl who hopes to send messages with her broadcasts. Despite their differences, they fight for what's right and their lives intertwine in ways they never could have imagined. OR An exploration of Werner and Marie throughout the show and how they could have had a happy ending together.

I just can't get over how beautiful Marie-Laure and Werner's relationship is; a moment of complete joy and kindness in a world wrecked by a World War. If I had to pick a favorite scene in any historical drama - this is it. It means so much to me seeing the talented Aria Mia Loberti and Louis Hofmann bring these heartwarming characters to life.

[variousfandomthoughts]

Still mad at Netflix for removing all of the scenes, plot, and messaging from the book that were supposed to show the horrors of war and replacing it with “Hee hee, French girl and German boy kiss!”

[catherinedevalois]

Everyone already watched + moved on from all the light we cannot see (netflix adaptation) meanwhile I just got here lol (although someone just posted a new mariewerner edit on YouTube one week ago! which you can watch here)

What do I have to do for more Marie/Werner content!

[reythenerdypisces]

Bitches be thirsty n yearning for more mariewerner content

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Shadow’s Showdown: Chapter 8

The great plan.

Sarif Industries - Headquarters.

The whole week passed way too fast. After the illness actually only a memory remained. Yet the bandage on Laura’s hand still reminded her about the photo e-mailed by an unknown person. For the first time, she was joyful to see the large foyer and the round, red desk of the reception area at Sarif Industries. The bright lights of informative audio and visual displays didn’t bother her at all. Being here again was like salvation, like being reborn. Even the sight of Adam settling some dispute didn't spoil her mood. Laura felt safe somewhat knowing that he’s on duty. Following the new plan, she nodded to Jensen in greeting as he looked at her. The auburn-haired girl decided that today she would stand out of the crowd. Apparently, she succeeded because the head of security could not look away from her for a long time. She was wearing a long-sleeved x-line knee-length dress in a light shade of blue with a pattern of navy blue dots. The whole was completed with not very thick navy blue tights and Mary Jane type shoes.

"What a sacrifice. Let's hope it pays off for me." she thought, taking off her gray coat and slowly walking up the stairs.

She didn't even have time to reach the second floor when the head of security caught up with her. The plan is working all too well since he is already following her. However, she tried hiding her pride. She straightened her handbag hanging on her right shoulder and smiled kindly. Oh yes, with a smile, always with a smile…

"Hello, Miss Werner. How are you feeling?" Adam asked while taking off his long, black coat. "Much obliged, for your concern. I feel better now." she replied, still smiling.

Jensen glanced at her bandaged hand but didn't mention a word about it. Laura, in turn, noticed that he had cleaned his coat and was wearing that awful brown turtleneck sweater again.

"That's good because I'm afraid we'll have to repeat the personal search." "Fuck, fuck! Rot in hell you sneaky bastard!" she thought, but still didn't give him even a hint that she was nervous. "But of course, no problem."

At most, Frank will slay her, no big deal. A few minutes later they were already in Adam's office. Knowing the procedures, she did not wait for him to ask for the handbag but handed it over to him willingly. The head of security was examining the Crunchy Pirate's cereal box again and to her misfortune this time he confiscated it. „And shit just hit the fan.” Laura thought but remained calm, unshaken by even a hint of fear. He saw no trembling of her hands, no drops of sweat on her temples, no nervous biting of her lip. Jensen saw nothing because the girl standing before him was now like an oak, not aspen. Though hurricanes raged deep inside her, outside there was a mask. She didn't even flinch when he touched her, as his fingers wandered unhurriedly along her sides, as his hands tightened on her shoulders, forearms, and hands. She didn't sigh, didn't say a single unpleasant word.

"That would be all, you're free to go." he announced in a cool, formal tone.

Miss Werner gathered her things, said goodbye, and left. She was pretty sure she could feel his gaze on her back until she closed the door behind her. Laura ran straight to the restroom. Standing alone in front of a mirror she could hear her heart pounding wildly in her chest and feel how muffled emotions were wielding her like a puppet. She splashed ice-cold water on her face, letting drops drip from her eyelashes, nose, and chin. She was supposed to be indifferent, but meanwhile, she was burning with fire. Instead of thinking about how to retrieve a box of cereal out of his office, she thought about Adam himself. That gentle touch of his, the one she could not resist. The memory of his hot breath near her neck made Laura shiver. It was so hard to just stand there and pretend indifference, so damn hard…

She wiped the wet face in a handkerchief, fixed hair up in a ponytail, and carried things to her office. Laura stayed there for a moment to gather her thoughts. Then she rushed to Pritchard’s office, wrapping with her arms a pile of documents he had given to her. She was already prepared for his speech criticizing her work, but Frank only managed to open his mouth. She had checked every command, number, and symbol so, whether he wanted it or not, he had to keep the lecture for another occasion.

As she left Frank’s office, Adam and Faridah flashed before her eyes. Laura overheard something about Sarif had given Jensen an assignment quite far from Detroit so he required a pilot for three days. This valuable information instantly made her feel better. As soon as the auburn-haired girl returned to her office, she began to plot an elaborate plan about switching cereal boxes in Adam's office.

First, the cameras. Hacking can be risky, so something more discreet is needed here. Shreds of conversations between two female employees reached her from the corridor. They mentioned something about interchanging shifts. That's when Laura came up with the idea of swapping the records from the cameras monitoring the entrance to the head of security's office for a brief moment. She would have approximately 5 minutes to get in, complete the task, and get out. The last part of the plan is covering the tracks. Every single file has to be deleted as accurately as possible. Using gloves is mandatory. You never can tell how thorough Jensen may be if he finds out. The best time for operation ‘Crunchy Pirate’ is late evening. The company is almost empty, and security guards are shifting.

She was looking forward to the next day. On her way home Laura stopped by the store to buy necessary items. She hadn't felt such anxiety since the team was disbanded.

Laura's apartment.

Tired, she fell on the bed, but Stalker decided that he would not leave her alone. He jumped on her back, while she was lying pronely and curled up in a ball. She will be his sleeping place for tonight. Laura didn't have the strength to protest. The night passed calmly, surprisingly, without any nightmares. She got up earlier so as not to expose herself to Pritchard's wrath. She calculated that she could be late at most two times in a week, and on the third one she’ll get ridiculously trivial things to accomplish. However, that was not what drove her and forced to act. The zero hour would soon strike. She felt the old, already forgotten excitement as if she was about to experience an unforgettable orgasm. She loved balancing on the edge, playing with fire, risking everything. And what could be better than breaking into the head of the security’s office?

A quarter of an hour later she left the apartment wearing a gray sweater, dark brown pants, and black sneakers. On the run, she put on a warm jacket, holding a sandwich in her teeth and a backpack in her hand. She never ate her favorite cereal before the action, that was her rule. Laura thought about taking the subway today, but she had less money than she thought. She walked off the main street, taking a shortcut through backyards and side alleys that smelled of beer and decaying garbage. A few cats observed her from afar with a curiosity mixed with uncertainty. Over her head drying laundry was waving, hung on a rope stretched between two residential buildings. A group of four boys was sitting on one of the ladders leading to the emergency exit. They were exchanging Pokemon cards. She did not like to judge by appearance, but they rather belonged to the poorer part of Detroit's population.

Sarif Industries Headquarters.

Without Jensen, the company was somehow empty, or was it just her own feeling? It was a daily routine to visit Frank before going to her place, but today his fortress was empty. This was suspicious, to say the least because he hardly ever left the office. She checked the phone too, but he didn't leave a message. So she shrugged her shoulders and left. Hacker girl wanted to send some new data to her superiors, but she had run out of Nukeviruses and Stop! Worms. The last batch was stuck in the head of the security’s office. There was plenty of time left before evening so she decided to rethink her plan. Somewhere in the middle of the third checking, the phone rang.

"Laura, are you already at the company?" Frank sounded nervous, but not as nervous as usual, more like he was waiting for the important meeting with incomplete data. "Yeah for about 30 minutes. I was at your place but ... " "Be quiet and listen carefully, cause I’ll say it only once." he interrupted her firmly. "I have an appointment with Sarif in a few minutes, and I'll end up in a deep shit if you don't help me." "Fine, say what you require."

Somehow she found it hard to believe that Pritchard might be in trouble. He was like a cat, always able to dodge and fall on his feet. Could this time be different?

"I need you to go to Jensen's office and bring me some important papers. That flatfoot didn't deliver them to me before leaving" he said in one breath. "Code for the door: 8426 HURRY UP!"

Wait a minute, did she hear correctly? Are her dreams just coming true, or has she won the lottery ticket?

She got up from the chair on the run grabbing her backpack. Laura was bursting with joy and no matter what might have happened nothing would spoil this moment. She was afraid that someone from security would stop her, but they must have been warned because neither of them even looked at her while entering the code. The tinted windows covered her presence so she felt a bit more at ease. Yet still, the hacker girl wasn't 100% sure if Adam would not suddenly jump out of the wardrobe. As she prepared to swap the boxes, she felt like Indiana Jones in ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’. She took one carefully and put the other on its place, making sure it stands exactly at the same spot. Laura had no problem with finding the file because it was lying on the desk as if ready to be taken. It also had a big sticker with the caption ‘For Pritchard’ written in capital letters. Before leaving, she placed a little surprise on the seat of the office chair and turned its backrest towards the door. Finally, she re-entered the code and waited until the red light came on.

She rushed down the corridor straight to the elevator and a moment later she was already on the 29th floor in the Athene Margoulis office. She didn't have enough time to look around, because Frank instantly assaulted her.

"Girl, what took you so long?! Do you at least have what I requested for?!"

Laura sighed. The urge of telling him to stuff himself grew stronger. But instead of doing so, she handed him the documents. Pritchard immediately softened when he looked over the notes.

"Well done, now get back to your work. Log on to the server, I left new guidelines there."

She observed him disappear behind the glass door of Sarif's office. Athene's urgent grunting made her realize that she wasn't welcome here at all. The auburn-haired girl called the elevator and returned to where she belonged. At least she had accomplished her mission quite legally.

When she got home, she tossed keys on the cupboard. Their loud clanking scared the cat away. She only took off her shoes, without changing into casual clothes. Laura had more significant things to complete now. She sat down in the armchair left by the window and turned on her laptop. Pale light illuminated her grave, focused face, and all she could hear in the silence was the clicking of keyboard keys. It was the middle of the night when she gave up. Unluckily, even in the darkest nooks and crannies of the darknet, she hasn't even gained any clue who the mysterious Red_Dragon is. Hacker girl wasn’t pleased that her searching went for nothing.

For all y’all that are curious, the fic is coming along great, and I’ll publish it ASAP

I have no intention of leaving y’all starving for much longer <3

[talesofthehollow]

Update: I stayed up Tuesday morning to finish this & my opinion still stands. Most issues in the series could be fixed by having at least 2 more episodes, & even then, I loved it. I'm looking forward to reading my copy of the book when it gets here!

I just started All the Light We Cannot See on Netflix, & I don't know if it's because I'm crazy or what, but I have absolutely no idea what these critics are talking about??? 🤨
