Fic: Playing Mata Hari - Chapter 4
Playing Mata Hari | Slow Horses | Diana Taverner/Catherine Standish | E | Part 4 of 4 (~7,100 of ~18,800 words)
Diana Taverner recruits Catherine Standish for some undercover intelligence gathering. What seems like a simple job turns out to have unexpected pitfalls, but also unexpected joys.
“Well, that’s an Op successfully concluded. How did it feel being at the centre of things?” Diana arches a brow and there’s a smile on her mouth, warming. “Exciting,” Catherine admits. She rarely lets herself miss being in the thick of things. “Even when it got scary it was a thrill. Peril is its own kind of stimulant, isn’t it?” She leans back on the settee and looks at Diana, letting herself be warmed. “Mm,” Diana agrees. “And there are different kinds of peril, too.” Catherine feels a little bit of Cara’s coy flirtation slip back into her when she asks, “Like what?” She lets her in, but only so far - wants to be very clear with herself that she’s Catherine now. Catherine can flirt with Diana Taverner, Catherine can kiss her in her kitchen. She doesn’t need to be Cara to do that.
I've posted the final part a little early for you late-night birds on Friday/for weekend readers to have the whole thing. I hope you all enjoy! Many thanks to everyone who has left likes and kudos and comments :). The latter are particularly validating. If you've enjoyed, please let me know you liked it; it really feeds the muse! This story is complete but I have several other plot bunnies simmering away, just waiting for one to jump out and for me to have time and energy to write once more. Much love! <3

give me a slow horses blooper reel where no one can say their lines because someone’s wheezing in the background. where the serious MI5 tension is ruined by a phone going off with a ridiculous ringtone. i want footage of the cast laughing so hard they have to physically leave the room.
petition for shows to bring back bloopers. i miss those silly little videos we used to get after each season. the laughter. the chaos. the cast slowly losing the plot.
#slow horses#i bet there’s so many scenes like this#even like a few seconds of them all cracking tf up#we see it happens in gisele’s pictures give me videosss#saskia reeves#gary oldman#kristin scott thomas#jack lowden#rosalind eleazar#jonathan pryce#christopher chung#freddie fox#kadiff kirwan#aimee ffion edwards

Jackson Lamb and Catherine Standish: glances and gazes
Slow Horses | Season 4 🐌🐎
#slow horses#catherine standish#jackson lamb#catherine standish x jackson lamb#they can’t keep their eyes off of each other#this season esp#esp jackson he can’t stop looking at her#idk if it’s explicitly mentioned in the show or the books how long between s3&s4#but i imagine it’s been a good while without him seeing her#20 odd years of seeing her almost everyday to not seeing her for months#no wonder he’s constantly glancing at her#a romance told entirely through glances ashtrays and passive aggression#not lovers not enemies just professionally codependent soulmates#what if your worst form of guilt also made your tea just right
