From the final chapter of spy!AU:
"I was wondering when you'd show up," Jake says, not bothering to turn around to see if Tom is surprised by his lack of surprise. He's not. They both know that.
"Did you figure it out yet?" Tom asks as he takes a step forward to stand next to him. It takes everything in Jake not to glance at his former mentor.
"You know I'm no good at art interpretation." They are alone in the gallery and he's sure Tom has already disabled the cameras so Jake doesn't bother lowering his voice when he asks, "Or are you talking about how you twisted around a Yeats poem in order to brainwash me into doing your dirty work?"
"You'd love for that to be the whole truth, wouldn't you, Hangman?"
"What I can't figure out is why you involved Bradshaw in this." Jake taps his temple. "Is it because I outgrew your influence?"
Iceman shakes his head. "You have a knack for asking the wrong questions. Bradshaw is a means to an end. This has always been about us."
"Us? Are we in a rom-com that I don't know about?"
That is...more than seven sentences. Tagging whoever wants to do this!

people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333
Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.
“Representing Indian women has been such a joy. Ninety-nine per cent of the people who recognise me and come up to me are women of colour, and that’s the best feeling because they’re so excited for me.”
