A little late for personal reason but now I can finally post my finished piece for this year's grishaverse reverse mini bang!! @kiwisandtea wrote a wonderfully hilarious fanfiction about a boy (Pieter) trying to earn a living as a spider in the barrel. And what information would sell better than an alleged romance between Dirtyhands and the Wraith? Sucks that nobody believes him tho...

Can you spot Pieter spying on Kanej?

“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.

like real people do -

paris, 1961.

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.

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

a/n: welcome to ch.1 of lrpd!! super excited to finally get to the characters y’all know and love and we hope y’all love the story as much as we do 🥰

Nikolai dreamed he was finally free. 

Free to decide where he wanted to go. Free to do as he wanted without someone breathing down his neck. Free to live each day without worrying if it’d be his last. But his dream was nothing more than a distraction as he made his way through the baron’s manor. He flexed his fingers, anticipation thrumming in his blood.

He was on yet another thrilling job involving ‘complicated acquisition’.

Or just theft, though he disliked that term very much. What he did wasn’t the same as snatching a wallet from some unsuspecting pedestrian or palming something off a store shelf when no one was watching. 

Theft is theft, his employer’s voice echoed in his mind. And let me remind you, we caught you. You’re not half as clever as you think you are. 

Nikolai wrinkled his nose at the memory, suddenly feeling hot under the guard’s uniform he was wearing as a disguise. Juris was always a stickler for protocol, regardless of where Nikolai’s skillset lay. He shook his head to clear it and focused on the task at hand.

we’ll make flowers bloom from ruins -

there would be other battles to be fought, as there were still hardships to sort through. at the center of it, though, they stood. stood as the sunlight turned the sky into blazing flames, as the damp air of the evening filled with the sweet scent of the jasmine. the one they had planted, that grew stronger with every breath they shared. nikolai had known he wanted zoya when she had first laughed in front of him, had known he loved her when they had battled saints and legends. this, though, was where he had known he would spend this life and the next one building their future. on the terrace of their home overlooking the sea, as she stared through him with those fierce eyes and the sunset shone on her golden brown skin, on the quiet happiness simmering in her gaze. on the challenge before him, the one adventure he would never tire of seeking.
