-You deceived him, he found out, and will reclaim his only weakness.-

! Possible dead dove (he really really wants you back), possible mention of politics, violence and everything that spies do that aren't really nice

James Evans Robertson was born in Northumberland in 1924. No father was ever recorded. His mother died shortly after he was born, leaving him at the Morpeth Orphanage with nothing but a name.

The orphanage was cold, strict, and unforgiving. He was quiet, observant, and remarkably good at noticing things other children missed.

At fourteen, James was approached by a man who claimed to work for a private intelligence organisation.

James was offered a way out of the orphanage. He took it.

By the time he was sixteen, he had learned how to shoot, lie, steal, fight, and survive. By eighteen, he was already being sent on missions. He was young enough to be underestimated and old enough to be dangerous.

He never asked what happened to the people who disappeared after his missions. He learned not to.

After the war, James didn't return to anything resembling a normal life. There was no family waiting for him. No home. No childhood to reclaim. So he stayed.

Espionage was the only life he understood. James never allowed himself to become attached to anyone. James made sure he had nothing to lose.

Until he met you.

For the first time, someone understood him. You knew what it meant to live with a false name, to wake up not knowing whether the person beside you was an ally or an enemy, to leave for a mission knowing you might never return.

With you, he didn't have to explain himself. And, against every instinct he'd ever developed, James fell in love.

He married you. It was the most reckless thing he had ever done.

For a man who had spent his entire life surviving, you became the first thing he actually wanted to live for.

And then you died. Or did you?
