Her name is Carter, Peggy Carter

The
ssrconfidential stories are no longer anonymous. Thus, here are the two I wrote this year.

Whitney Frost is at large again, and Peggy and Howard are determined to stop her. They didn't count on a certain British agent's interference...

Or:

Vulgar millionaires, mad scientists, lethally dangerous women - it's just another day in the life of James Bond, until he realises that this time, the roles keep switching...

This was my official assignment. One of my recipient's prompts asked for Peggy, Howard and shenanigans. Now I had a Peggy character study on my brain which I'd been meaning to write for a while, but that one was going to be dark in tone, whereas this request sounded like the recipient wanted something lighthearted, so it would have bean a jerk move to ignore that. No problem, thought I, a fun adventure for Peggy and Howard sounds like my kind of thing, too, I adore both characters. What kind of adventure could it be? Something like a Bond movie, perhaps. And then it hit me: the originall, very first version of James Bond, the one from the Fleming novels, would actually have been their contemporary.

This proved to be all the incentive I needed. I had a blast plotting a Carter/Bond crossover. Using as many Bond tropes (from books and movies alike) as I could, with a Carter twist. It also gave me the opportunity to give Whitney Frost another outing, and the banter between the three main characters just came naturally. Oh, and since my beta asked: no, I didn't have a particular Bond actor in mind. Insert your Bond of choice to be this adventure's morally ambiguous Carter boy.)

Five Times Peggy Carter Compromised (4063 words) by Selena
Chapters: 5/5
Fandom: Agent Carter (TV), Captain America (Movies), Iron Man (Movies)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Peggy Carter & Howard Stark, Peggy Carter & J. Edgar Hoover, Peggy Carter & Tony Stark, Peggy Carter & Howard Stark & Tony Stark, Peggy Carter & Armin Zola, Howard Stark & Tony Stark
Characters: Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, Chester Phillips, J. Edgar Hoover, Tony Stark, Arnim Zola
Additional Tags: Moral Ambiguity, Moral Dilemmas, Treat, Historical References, Backstory, World War II, Character Study, Historical, Post-Canon, Post-Season/Series 02, Challenge Response, 1940s, 1950s, 1990s, 1960s
Summary:
Before Nick Fury, Peggy Carter was the spy, and even her secrets had secrets. Five times Peggy made moral compromises, and the reasons why.

This was the story I wrote as a treat, which has been haunting me for years. (Ever since the Captain America: Winter Soldier reveal about Zola having worked for SHIELD, to be precise.) If the assignment was a lighthearted Peggy-as-Bond (only not) romp, this was my John Le Carré outing for her. Basically Peggy Carter as George Smiley, with all the shadiness in addition to the good intentions that implies. The case for morally ambigious Peggy Carter, let me make it. (Also, it's another of those partly meta stories of mine where I argue with a lot of fanon.)
