Response to challenge "crack pairings"

[wildcard_47]

Okay: this idea was swiped from a list of crack pairings yahtzee63 posted in the comments of another crack!pairing fic.

Will POV, set mid-S2, somewhere between Phase One and Firebomb. Let me know what you think! I'm kind of nervous about how it turned out.

Interesting pairing. I love their interaction. You really got the enigma that is Irina.

Thank you! I was nervous about writing them together; Irina's voice is always so difficult to get right.

Oooh, I like this. The Irina/Will combination is such an interesting concept. Her motivations with regards to him have always been a bit perplexing for me, so I like the idea of explaining it more (even if I do put any actual shippy-like things between them firmly in the crack category).

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm fascinated by Irina's approach to Will, especially in light of how cavalier she, Sloane and co. were in killing & replacing Francie.

The only reason I could see her sparing him that is if he'd somehow left an impression beyond 'idiot reporter/agency friend'. :)

I looooooove it. So nicely edgy and uncompromising on both their parts. I am so glad my old crackiness is still bearing fruit!

Glad you enjoyed it! I was afraid Irina's voice would come out all wrong on paper, so I was a bit nervous finishing this.

And yes, that old crackiness will probably never lose its luster! Which is a good thing, I think. :D

“A common interest with the world’s most wanted terrorist?” Will huffs. “Great. I’ll write it in my agency scrapbook.”

I love this line. Great fic!

Glad you enjoyed it! That line's one of my favorites - so very Will. :)
