“What are you doing?”

“Acting, dearest Nazyalensky. Boucher has eyes- Ah ah, don’t look back, you’ll give us away."

My GVBB piece for Like Real People Do written by @wafflesandkruge and @sanktnikolais! What's better than a Man From Uncle Zoyalai AU? Not much.

Shout out to the rest of the amazing Gang!

“We’ve already built covers for the both of you.” Juris slid two files across the table and Zoya opened hers.

Inside was a passport and other documents identifying her as “Louise Carter,” a recently married American secretary. Zoya wrinkled her nose. American? She snuck a glance over at Nikolai’s file. Nick…Carter.

She shot to her feet.

“Married? To that womanizer?”

“Zoya, my wife? She’s going to shoot me in my sleep, and there goes your best agent.”

“Don’t flatter yourself,” Zoya said with a sniff, “I wouldn’t waste a bullet on you.”

“You’re not my best agent,” Juris said flatly.

#2 - Totally Spies

Project Info

Gang name: Totally Spies

Working title/description: Like Real People Do

Synopsis: Paris, 1961.

You are strong enough to survive the fall. 

Zoya Nazyalensky was left with no choice but to work for the organization that held her family’s fate in their hands. Even as she rose through the ranks and gained respect, failure was still inevitable. And when she happens to blow one crucial mission because of her poor judgment, the reputation she’d worked so hard to build crumbles to nothing. 

Everything gets you in the end.

Nikolai Lantsov prided himself as an expert of “complicated acquisition”, until he was caught by the CIA and offered an ultimatum: work for them or spend his life behind bars. But after failing the last mission that would have finally let him walk free, his contract with them is extended. 

The two spies are forced to work together to thwart a threat to world peace. Despite knowing it can only end in tragedy, they find their history pushing them dangerously close to each other again, even letting their bruised hearts hope that there could be something for them after all this. 

aka: enemies to lovers, fake marriage, there was only one bed, mutual pining, and lots of angst
