it’s mutual! actual james bond sending this. i think we’re on track as far as improving (whatever that means given james and severine’s personalities and abilities to cope with the above average amount of shit and trauma they carry) our muses’ relationship. you know i’m always here for any ideas you want to throw in - and i feel comfortable doing the same. thank you for this ♥

oldwaysarebest replied to your post: “Well maybe I don’t feel like going out and saving...

“Maybe I think I should save my own.”

That was... new. Though not exactly unwelcome. 

“How’re you planning on doing that?” Her question was gentle, encouraging more than anything. It seemed as though for once James was actually making progress with himself.

“Hey, no, stop. You’re going to break your fingers punching like that.”

Q shot a startled and irritated glare at Bond.  “Bond – ”  The punching bag in front of him was still swinging from the punches it took moments ago. He rubbed his aching hands with his fingers and then rested them against the fabric of his sweatpants. Why was Bond so damned quiet on his feet? He pushed his glasses up, which were slipping down from sweat starting to drip from his forehead. “What are you even doing in here at this time of night?” Q honestly couldn’t really care what the agent was doing here at this time of night. He was just a bit annoyed at being corrected in his (admittedly sloppy) way of punching.

@oldwaysarebest liked for a starter

“ well, i wanted to tell you but you were halfway across the world and i didn’t want to provide distraction. nothing is even broken, it’s just sprained. it was probably just some idiot texting behind the wheel. ” the whole ordeal had seemed so amateurish that she couldn’t believe it was some sort of attempt on her life rather than a stupid incident due to someone not paying attention to the road. she’d sooner laugh than be scared if it proved to be ill intent simply because it would be too pathetic for words. it would certainly be the most underwhelming attempt so far, hardly memorable.

truth be told, she knew he woudn’t be pleased coming home and finding out he’d been left out of the loop, but M had convinced her to not notify her husband. she wasn’t about to give away that piece of information, last thing needed was him getting into an argument about it with their boss. tracy understood why it wasn’t possible to always immediately inform james, though she wasn’t exactly very pleased about it herself. “ you can’t be too cross with me, everything is fine! i would have told you if things had been more serious, but i could hardly disturb you during a mission for something as silly as a sprained wrist and ankle, now could i? ”

“I tend not to wear things that show a lot of skin. I have a lot of scars that I can’t answer anyone’s questions about.”  Perion tugs on her loose collar and motions at the two small gunshot scars. When she drops that, shows him the brand near her hip. “It’s more shit I don’t remember.”

‘ it’s not murder if they deserved it, right? ’

Perhaps her statement was uttered because he was dressed particularly well this evening. He knew that women usually enjoyed seeing a well dressed man and this woman had what he believed to be no attraction or desire for him at all. The only other option was that she’d had far too much to drink and was simply blabbering away without any real thought to what her sober self would do in this situation.

Not one to be deterred, he took a few steps closer to her, a smile quickly gracing his features as he did so. “Do you?” he queried, manoeuvring dangerously close to her. If she was doing this just to string him along then he knew just how to be an equal thorn in her side. “Then why haven’t you?”

There was a certain antagonistic manner in James whenever the subject came up. Not that it was necessarily a bad thing it tended to keep Wendy on her toes, and who knows what had even possessed her to even say such a thing out loud. His reply not quite what she had expected, as he teased her in equal measure. Her head cocks to the side softly at his question, as she ponders the answer for a moment. 

“Maybe I don’t want you to know you’ve grown on me.” she teases an answer. “Maybe I actually value your opinion of me.” She shrugs before leaning in and pressing her lips against his. Timid and Soft but a kiss none the less, and even less of a pretense than her usual annoying self. 

Pulling away she looked up at him with a smirk on her face. “Then again...... maybe not.”

"Avoiding me?" he asked, taking a seat next to her. "Or was this exactly as you planned it, hmm?"

She could lie of course - make out that her presence her tonight, in this place where they’d spent so much time together in the past, was entirely coincidental. The only problem with doing so, was that no matter how convincing a liar she was, he would always see the truth. Hell, he probably already knew the answer before he even asked that damned question.

So, the truth, at this point, was best.

“Yes, I have been. As you have been to me also. Then again, given how we left things, avoidance seemed an entirely appropriate option”.

[idiosynchronics]

          “if we keep meeting like this, people are going to think it’s more than a simple coincidence.” she’d noticed the near empty glass. with a smile, the martini was placed in front of him, her own drink barely touched. his face was a familiar anchor now, something tethering her to a familiarity slightly less grim, slightly less daunting than what her days were made of.  “rough night?”

“Well maybe I don’t feel like going out and saving lives right now.”

That was concerning. 

“Oh?” Eve responded, trying to make sure her worry didn’t creep into her voice. “Why’s that?” She closed her laptop and looked up at James, making it clear that he had her full attention in case he wanted to say anything more.

✿ = buying them flowers .

send one for my muse’s reaction to your muse ---

“ james, they’re lovely! ” he had picked well, as usual, she was fond of very fragrant and bright flowers. most of the time there were some around the house because she found it made the place more lively but it had been rather busy at mi6 this week so she hadn’t really found the time to pick some up herself. “—– these aren’t some sort of apology flowers for something i’m not yet aware of, are they? ” though teasing him, it wouldn’t be the first time he brought home flowers by means of apology rather than saying the words. and to give him credit, it had been proven to be rather effective unless it was something truly serious. it no doubt helped that tracy wasn’t all that good at staying mad at him. 

“ oh, before i forget, M gave me something for you. apparently you’re behind on paperwork? i think this is last attempt to get you to fill it in. ” it wouldn’t be the first time M tried to get james to do something through tracy. she however didn’t really care about making her husband do things related to mi6, she wasn’t interefering with things regarding his job.

I don’t think I’ve loved a character the way I love Cormoran Strike, so to be able to write him, to write about him, to explore him in every aspect possible is a huge blessing. One I wouldn’t have cared half as much as I do without a constant stream of followers. Rare are the characters such as this one for me. As much as I love and enjoy a variety of them (may they come from books or films or shows) it isn’t often that I actually feel something along the lines of what I feel for Cormoran Strike; and I count myself lucky to be able to share this love through writing via this blog. I’m going to keep this short because who reads these little preambles before the list below?

@perfectpunctuation: the Robin to my Strike. The constant partner always excited and ready for whatever muse I take on and whichever verse we get to make up and write. The friend always there to talk rubbish with me or have a serious talk. The light of my RP life, the auntie to my two beautiful children, and a real and dear and much, much loved friend beyond Tumblr and its roleplaying community. I wouldn’t have gotten as far without you, Renee. You’ve been amazing, a bubbling source of ideas and creations, a support, an evil person always on the lookout to hurt me and the best film-watching buddy I could ask for. I am incredibly lucky and honoured to know you ♥

@cormoranlystruck / @nsamori: yeah. This one. Very gifted person right there. Thank you for your insight, your ideas, your art, your words. An absolute sweetheart who should get more recognition on a daily basis. You’re so dedicated to what you love that it is inspiring me to do better and dig deeper. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
