Lovely! I don't watch SCC (it's not on any Brit TV channel I can access, yet) but George is pitch-perfect and the reference to how young JC looks made me want to see him in the flesh.

Thank you! It's been a while since I wrote spy-fic, so I'm glad you thought George sounded alright. :)

Icon love!

What impact in such few words! Now that would be an interesting meeting. Thoroughly enjoyed this crossover.

Thank you! I feel a bit guilty about killing off Sarah, but I kind of wanted to see John in that place where he no longer can count on her to protect him. For George to see him becoming what he will be.

Oh, it's so lovely. And the glances at characters not present gives it such gorgeous density; I sat here for ten minutes thinking about what might have happened to each of them, and when and how. George and John are perfect and the hint that they're going to know each other well made me so, so happy. (And the details make me want to ask: Why "Armitage Building" and why "Gordon"?)

Beautifully done. Thank you!

Glad you liked it! Those international security conglomerates are like hydras - get rid of one CEO and they just get another. :) I can imagine them investing in expensive robot technology. Although my picking "Gordon" for John's new alias was completely by accident.

Oh, this was so beautifully done. I really loved the glimpses of everything off screen - yet to happen, some of it.

Thank you! :) Glad you liked it.
