Honeytrap

[osprey_archer]

A couple of you (kore?) expressed an interest in Honeytrap back when I first posted about it (this is the book about the sulky Soviet spy assigned to honeytrap an American agent. Inconvenient Feelings result), and I've started posting some bits to Tumblr, so I thought I would link that here.

An introductory chapter. FBI special agent and disaster bisexual Daniel Hawthorne is assigned to work with a Soviet agent on the grounds that the Soviets are famously prudish so even YOU can't fuck this one up, Daniel, pun 100% intended.

A gunshot wound! Hurt/comfort! That feeling when you really WANT to hold someone close and make the pain stop hurting but a) that's not how pain works and b) you can't hold them in the first place so even if (a) wasn't true, it would be useless.

I am not convinced that tumblr is the best venue for posting this project (it's not great for long form text) but unfortunately the other options are (a) here on Dreamwidth, which will have a definitively smaller audience, and (b) Archive of Our Own, which would probably be ideal except that I can't link my Ko-Fi account there.

You can link to your wobsite or tumblr where you can have a ko-fi?

YES! YES THAT WAS ME. Thank you!


“Perhaps you should take this…” Mr. Gilman checked his notes for the Soviet agent’s name. “Gennady Ilyich Matskevich to a strip club to get acquainted. I imagine the sight of all those beautiful American girls would do you both a lot of good.”

YESSSSSSSSSSS.

Holy smokes, those excerpts are fabulous. I was making mental grabbyhands throughout both of them: MORE MORE MORE MORE.

As if we couldn’t have done a perfectly competent job assassinating Mr. Khrushchev if we had a mind to.


--I laughed at that.

It's excellent!

Aww, and the other chapter is really sweet!

(Sorry; posted this in the wrong place initially)
