#in which their fiancee was killed off by their agency because bosco was planning on getting out of espionage forever

[phrynewrites]

hi hi would love to see 💥🏥🎭 for the jasco espionage au!!

Babes I am just in such an espionage type of mood right now so it's time for espionage au!

💥 First Fight/Making Up HC

Their first series of fights is probably the two of them still getting acclimated to working together rather than against each other. Like Bosco and Jasmine are still thinking in ultra-competitive mode, thinking that if the other is doing well, they're losing, even though that's no longer the case. So it takes a while to get them both on the same team. Part of the difficulty there is that it means admitting that they're fully isolated from their old lives now, that no one besides each other has an idea of who they were before they were *dead to the world* and assumed these fake identities (procured by Daya, who decided that these two were going to be married on their fake ID cards, for funsies and because she doesn't really want to work on Bosco's big revenge plot either, but if she's going to, she's gonna stage her own revenge plot within a revenge plot). Eventually they realize that they're all they have left and give into working with each other, but it takes a lot of practice to withhold their sabotages.

🏥 Taking Care of Injuries HC

During a later mission, Jasmine ends up tied up, bound to a chair, unable to fight for herself, all while the man who's supposed to be their target is holding a knife to her neck. And while Bosco, who when working for their old agency, was know for covering their own ass at any cost, literally leaving other agents behind to die, they just can't do the same to Jasmine. They end up rushing in, getting stabbed in the arm themself, and just barely undoing the zip ties holding Jasmine to the chair in time for the two of them to be able to fight off the remaining guards and get out of there before anyone else knows that they've killed the target. And when they're flooring it on the way back to their home base—a crappy little co-oped apartment in a boarded up building—Jasmine's freaking out and trying to stop up all the blood that Bosco's losing and Bosco, laying in Jasmine's lap in the backseat of the car, is trying to reassure Jasmine that they're going to be totally okay.

🎭 Jealous HC

When Jasmine's seducing their targets, doing her whole "sexy lady" bit, perching herself in their laps, feeding them expensive (and laced champagne), laughing and throwing her head back at everything they say, Bosco can hear what Jasmine's doing through their earpiece and can barely focus on cracking into this safe to grab the dossier they need for the next part of the mission. Bosco's mumbling to themself about Jasmine being a little too close to this creepy old dude and how bullshit it is that *that* is considered spying. They're working with so much speed and agility to get the dossier so that Jasmine can stop acting like the sexy little distraction she is. After the mission, Daya comments that that was the fastest Bosco had ever cracked a safe and Bosco shrugs, looking at Jasmine as she fixes her dress and is like "yeah...I'm just really good at my job." (Daya doesn't believe that for an instant and uses Bosco's jealousy to shave down their time and get through tight time crunches during missions by narrating all the things Daya sees Jasmine doing with these people she's seducing, goading Bosco on).
