About the Story

The general idea for this came to me at 2 in the morning some time last fall. It nagged and nagged at me and was going to be my next chaptered fic, but I got talked into doing bandombigbang, and of all my ideas, this one was the only one I was confident would get to the 20,000 word limit (now, getting to 38,000 was completely unforeseen).

With this, I really wanted it to have traditional spy movie elements, and yet, still be somewhat unique. So I give you an amalgamation of two of my favorite genres: spy and murder mystery! In a perfect world, this would be a movie, but I doubt the boys would have the time to star in it.

Influences for this should be obvious but I'll list them anyway. Alias minus all the prophecy, supernaturally stuff. A little James Bond, though more like the older ones. Mission: Impossible. And Chuck minus the Buy More, because all the others took the spy stuff far too seriously.

Thank Yous

There are many people to thank because this was definitely not a solo endeavor. Thanks to my beta, pinkkchocolate as always. From listening to my ridiculous rambling on AIM about a plot that came to me at 2 in the morning to fixing my mistakes and adding html tags, I'm forever grateful. To my best friend, madasarabbit for bugging me about finishing and for being generally awesome. To ivesia19, infatuatedxmind, starlesscities, and gingerrstar, for your helpful, hilarious comments, enthusiasm, and encouragement. I owe so many ideas to you all, and you may not know it, but you've pulled me out of writer's block several times just because I knew you were reading. To my flist and everyone who has expressed interest in this, I seriously love you guys because you made this possible. To paitac, you illustrated my favorite scene and this exceeded my wildest expectations. To rhinemaiden, wonderful album art and excellent song choices. To zarah5v2, I enjoyed your mix and loved that you pulled lines from my fic, I'm glad you had fun with it. The art is just absolutely beautiful, and the music for both mixes is so fun and appropriate. Thank you for bringing my story to life! And to the bandombigbang mods for putting it all together!
