    Summary

    Edward frowns. “What are you proposing?”

    “A truce—not unlike the one we’ve made before. Killing each other inside my safe house hardly seems fitting and I like to think we’re not so disagreeable that we can’t have some patience. No murder on the premises.”

    -
     
    Due to the overwhelming number of Tetch virus victims roaming the streets and the added inconvenience of police blockades, Oswald can't make it to the pier to enact his perfect revenge on Ed. Instead, he holes them both up in one of his safe houses so they can ride out the chaos together.

    Summary

    One hour more

    They say after you die, your brain still has seven minutes of activity.

    Seven minutes.

    Seven minutes to relive everything you have ever done, where the good and the bad flash in front of your eyes. Time slows and crumbles as it defies its rules and it leaves you, quiet for a second amongst the chaos.

    Watching as the broken relationships and your worst experiences bite and snap at you, unable to get close enough as they strain at their leashes like rabid dogs.

    But they can’t reach you unless you let them, although sometimes they worm their way in, pulling you towards them, making you need to grab them, to reach out to them, your curiosity spiking as you need to relive them, even though the pain was almost too much to bear the first time.

    Almost.

    Instead, you try to focus on the good ones.

    But the bad ones are stubborn, the bad ones come back, they always do.

    They always always do.

    Summary

    Seeing Owen had become a part of his life now. For four years he would hear his voice and imagine him in corners. He would close his eyes, and Owen would appear, and for the first year, he would ask Owen for his opinion on a theory before realising he wasn’t there. But that was all it was imagination and innocent mistakes. This. This was too real.

    OR: after being tortured to near-death, curt recognises his tormentor and takes him home.

    Summary

    Injured and alone on the stormy streets of Chicago, death seems all but certain for Owen Carvour. His vision is failing, but the suburb looks oddly familiar. If his calculations are correct, a certain American spy should be close at hand. It's less than ideal, but any shelter is better than none. Now he can only hope Curt won't let him fall a second time.

    Summary

    Every muscle in Curt’s body seemed to stall its own functions for a matter of seconds, where he realized three things:

    First: he could pick out that voice in a crowded room. Twelve people or twelve thousand, the numbers didn’t matter — he could recall each delicate inflection, the thick accent’s indicative lilts on certain turns of phrase. He knew it inside and out.

    Second: as far as he’d known, the voice’s owner was long dead.

    Curt flinched at the way his voice cracked when it came out, soft and breathy and almost imperceptible. “W— what?”

    Third: Curt Mega had an unfortunate habit of being very, very wrong.

    (Or, the fic where Curt gets tortured by Owen.)

    Summary

    The Cold War is ratcheting up, tensions between the Soviet Union and America are beginning to boil over into pseudo-warfare.

    Then the unthinkable occurs in England, a spy ring has been discovered, and they have been siphoning Allied secrets to the Soviets. MI6 does not have all the suspects, leaving the Americans unable to trust their closest allies.

    Curt bears some of the brunt of this suspicion when he is placed on babysitting duty with the infamous agent, Owen Carvour, the previous mentee of Guy Burgess, one of the members of what is being called The Cambridge Ring.

    Tensions rise between the two as they both try to prove themselves to their respective agencies.

    Summary

    Curt Mega had a distaste for patience and observation. He valued efficiency, strength, and quick wit over the things that he probably needed most to keep him alive; this is why he needed Owen. He just didn’t know it yet. (And in a few years the very idea would be inconceivable.)

    “Mega. The name’s Curt Mega.”

    “Oh darling, I know.”

    OR: Curt falls for Owen (hard). But Owen is stubborn, so returning affection to a man is as shocking an idea to him as TCB would be to a small victorian era child. Will they ever work? We find out with a few glimpses through time.
