Well maybe a lawyer from Universal Studios can arrest me under little-used IP legislation which technically makes fanfiction illegal. Really in my "for $8000 dollars a month, I will stop" era but here I am once again with crazy wish fulfilment straight fanfiction.
Inspired by the brief appearance of Daniel Brühl; I can't tell you how obsessed I am with the random retcon of never-mentioned-before gay cellist brother who was just off chilling in Paris the whole time [including a first movie set almost entirely in Paris!] + I have a lot of little headcanons about Marie as a sister/family member, so I wrote 22k~ words about that. It's definitely not gen, but it is very much about Marie and her somewhat more mundane psychological problems than CIA assassin trauma.
A not-Christmas fic, opening with the canon events of December 2001 and carrying on through successive Decembers to an alternate family future. :) As always, I deeply thank my friends for continuing to put up with me being insane at them at all hours about this. I had a lot of fun writing a winter-themed fic for once. ❄️ 💚💙 Custom epub with cover/chapter graphics here. Happy New Year!!!
