Spies wot?!
I have not really written anything of length in a while and I'd been pondering some form of Merlin fic or Merlin porn, which I have apparently never written, which is a bit shocking. No gratuitous wet!Arthur porn at all? Huh. -- but I digress. I want Generation Kill fandom to have a Minor Characters Ficathon so I can write more Poke and Walt (who no one has ever written. Really, people? Scandal!) and while discussing Walt's Superior Recon Skills with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sparky77 the following concept seemed to transpire which I then relayed to lazlet thusly:
Oh, and to keep you very much amused Sparky and I are trying very hard to promote this GK minor character ficathon just so we can actually get some Poke, Rudy and Walt fic in the world, and somehow conjecture about Walt fic has turned into Spy!Ray with Walt as his Q.
As Sparky pointed out, Ray would be the last person you'd think of as a spy, because I mean Ray? REALLY?
Sparky decided that Ray has a thing for hats. I said he likes to wear a fedora and tee shirt to the spy labs -- yes, I said spy labs, dammit -- so he can bother Walt and flirt with him. I reckon also that Ray wears long sleeve shirts a lot due to the proliferation of tats, so him in short sleeves is shocking to Walt's hormones.
In this instance Brad is 007 and Nate is M, uh, N, but since 007 is sleeping with N, Brad's now quasi-retired and is henceforth Moneypenny. (Yeah, I said it!)
But the fic is really about Ray wooing Walt. Shocking. Most of my ideas these days are about Ray's very unelegant wooing of Walt who is sort of terribly amused by Ray, as he tends to be. Sometimes Walt gets to do his own spy operations, but Ray always seems to show up and interrupt those, normally when N has sent Walt out to seduce someone.
NaturallyNate N and Brad Moneypenny think this is hysterical.
So. Spy!fic. You know, I thought afterromanticalgirl's magnum epic opus type business I wasn't going to tackle the boys in the desert possibly ever, and clearly this is why spy!fic is the new black.

That's what I said! Minus the bizaare part, I said he was a special snowflake. A special pimp queen J. Lo-esque snowflake. I thought for a second that people don't write the minor characters because they have such strong personalities, but it's not like Brad's a blank slate so fuck that. Yes, we need to show some serious minor character appreciate here, stat.

It's not the personality thing, it's just that in pretty much every fandom I have known the minor characters get little or no love at all. Mind you, that's usually because the minor characters suck, whereas in GK the minor characters rock like rocking things. Even the scary ones. Although that does not mean that I in any way condone anyone writing anything involving Trombley engaging in sexual acts of any kind. Except maybe with camels and even then I am joking. Really. Sorry. *passes the bleach*

I have no idea what came over me. Oh, hang on. I know exactly what came over me - I was obviously acting as a conduit for Ray.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
