iamgroove on tumblr asked Eve and me to do one of those "50 questions for your character" memes for Marius and Adam (our In Arcadia fake Bond villains). It took us ages because we are both procrastinating idiots, but WE ARE FINALLY DONE. And offering the world a good 13 pages of rambling with everything you never wanted to know about Marius and Adam. We did this whole thing together, I think I technically wrote most of it, but the ideas are all both Eve's and mine and we edited and discussed everything together, so it's very much a collaboration. These are the 50 questions we answered for them. We didn't do it in the style of a conversation with the characters because that's dumb, we just answered the questions for them.

All answers behind a cut. Or if you prefer a pdf, Eve uploaded the file here.

( 50 questions )

Title: Moment of Bliss
Fandom: In Arcadia (fake Bond verse)
Pairing: Marius Thorne/Adam Hayes
Rating: R
Words: 4783
Warnings: short but rather graphic mention of past rape, but what do you expect, it's Adam
Summary: Adam likes to spend his evenings curled up at Marius' feet. And yes, I wrote almost 5000 words of fic about that.
A/N: I'm ridiculous. This verse and this ship have eaten my brain.


( Moment of Bliss )

I wrote something. Which is … sort of fanfic, but really original fic in a pre-existing verse? This requires some explanation. serpentsign and I have been plotting a fake Bond movie on tumblr – I mean it's long been obvious that Mark Strong needs to play a Bond villain, and then this beautiful photoset kicked off all kinds of discussions about our fake Bond movie (which we should totally get to write because it would be awesome). Anyway, we decided that Mark should play rich disillusioned ex-politician-turned-idealistic-but-somewhat-insane-terrorist Marius Thorne who really thinks the world would be better off if he had half the politicians killed and replaced with people of his own choosing so he can run the show, and Richard Armitage should play his right-hand man, ex-Special Forces soldier Adam Hayes who was left to rot in a prison in the middle of nowhere by his handlers when a mission turned bad, from where he was saved by Marius, and then he ended up being his most loyal supporter (and his personal hitman).

Plot-wise, Bond is supposed to find out who the hell is killing off influential political figures. Adam convinces Bond that he has some useful intel on Thorne and that he wants to redeem himself after becoming a gun for hire when he got out of prison. Of course he's working for Thorne all along. Cue betrayal, explosions, gun fights, and general Bond movie badassery.

Anyway, I developed so many feels for these two bitter assholes that I decided to write fic about them. Which is what this is. Fake fanfic, so to speak, set during the fake movie. Look, I even made a photoset, with photoshop, like I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, my writing isn't quite as shitty as my non-existent photoshop skills. This isn't beta-read or even particularly well thought out, though, so sorry for any hilarious typos (please do tell me about them).
