where there's smoke there's--

A fic formerly known as “[dramatic title of episode]” and “Dramatic Episode.” The first title made fun of the Anson storyline and the second was a reaction to me hating the first title, so I chose something that fit the story more. Fic re-edited for clarifying some points and paragraph spacing snafus. Am I going to repost the fic specifically to DW? IDK at this point. Can you tell I’m doing this to avoid doing other fannish things? Also yes.

Found this (again) while locking down my LJ. The formatting was wonky and there was an accidental typo on the original post, so I’ve decided to delete that post (especially since it was crossposted to LJ originally) and, uh, repost.

I also couldn’t find anything wrong with this old essay I published to HC Bingo, so I went ahead and imported it to AO3. I do need to backtrack and remember what round I made this essay for to put it in the right AO3 collections, but those are minor additions needed to the essay on AO3.

Pairing(s): Fiona Glenanne/Michael Westen
Contains: kidnapping, guns, non-sexual bondage

Notes: AU after "You Can Run, Part 2/Game Change." This fic starts after that episode (rather than nine months at the start of season 7). A couple of season 7 characters are mentioned, but events do not occur the way they do in season 7. Fic does include mentions to the graphic novel series First Contact, but you don't need to read that series to read this fic. hollymarchosias also did artwork for the fic; it, along with a mix, can be seen here.
Disclaimer: All similarities to any episodes aired after this fic's debut is coincidental.
Summary: Fiona leads a mission to save Michael from a mysterious CIA job in the Dominican Republic.

Also at AO3, in the 2013 Het Big Bang Collection.
