I want it to be a battered blue Globetrotter. I shall be disappointed if it's a tartan granny holdall, but it would be hilarious. I'm torn between loving this idea so much I want to write fic before I've even seen it - and wanting to laugh myself silly. Only in Spooks does this stuff happen (to me, I mean).
Rewatched trailer using pause. The Suitcase of Angst is brown and very 70s. It has the following items:
Headphones (? or possibly a sex toy of some kind) Poker chips (ooh, past life as a gambling addict?) EC passport A VCR tape?? Photos of Lucas with a bad haircut (past life as an 80s popstar??) Mysterious manila folder of doom
1. Has just occurred to me that this is tom's 'hello, real me' box BUT REAL. Amazing.
2. I think it could be excellent if that is why she doesn't want to talk to him, if he disappeared because he had gambling debts. I would quite like to see lucas try to talk his way out of it.
In one of my recent fics I had someone insist that all Lucas' quiet, careful habits were acquired for survival reasons in the Russian jail, that before Moscow he was as noisy as the rest of the gang (chiefly, Adam). The gambling past fits with this theory, beautifully.
I like your tangential thought re Tom. Was Lucas a gambler when he and Tom met? Can't wait for the fic, Han!
Yes, excellent theory, I think it fits (which fic is that? I am - as ever - behind).
I think it could different ways depending on whether Lucas had gambling debts which he ran away from, or a gambling addiction. if he had debts and left Maya to face them, well. That will be interesting. But if he had a gambling addiction, that kind of fits with the career choice, and also I was considering this morning - whichever it was, he walked away and left this girl and walked into a job where he was saving *everyone* to make up for it. Oh, the angst.
I love this show.
I had written half a fic, and then I saw a picture of Vaughn, and the fic will now have to be junked, as all my assumptions about Vaughn, what he looked like, how he dressed etc were WAY off. Which is part of the danger of writing fic based on spoilers and not just waiting for the actual show *headdesk*

This is the best storyline EVER. Bonus points if Vaughn goes around screwing up people's lives as a hobby and Lucas isn't even important to him.

It is a great idea and completely hilarious, which is a Spooks speciality, I find.
PLEASE WRITE FIC.

The poker chips made me sigh. It's such an... obvious route. But now you mention Inception crossover fic and I'm smiling.
Please to do writing suitcase fic, Han.

It was in zulu-ottawa's post that I linked to elsewhere...here you go: http://zulu-ottawa.livejournal.com/14727.html. I am quite upset with myself for all the assumptions now. And also intrigued.
ETA: also in that post: TARIQ YAY.
