The Paper Stars AU won the poll so here it is!!!

So this is basically a Secret Agent AU

Sun and Moon, two of the top agents in their field are tasked with stopping Y/N, an ex-agent turned international super thief. Sun and Moon are the only people to have captured them (even though they escaped during transport) and the only ones so far to fully figure out their clues and secrets left behind.

Meanwhile Y/N enjoys the challenge of a good heist, even more so with a couple of agents on their heels. They always leave behind a paper star at each heist location as a calling card, and Sun and Moon were the first to realize they leave hints for what their next target is going to be.

Sun is a bit of a tinkerer in this AU, often testing and creating new gadgets for him and Moon to use in the field! He's better at hacking ane coding than he is at inventing and mechanics, but a few of his inventions have proven quite useful

Moon is far better at putting Sun's gadgets to use than Sun is, but he's also known for being resourceful and quick on his feet. He's still got an old injury that was never properly repaired right but that doesn't stop him.

Y/N was once the agency's top operative, specializing in disguise and covert missions. After a huge mission gone awry Y/N took a year off duty before suddenly abandoning the agency and become a world renowned thief. Nobody is quite sure how or why and Y/N refuses to explain.

As much as Y/N adores the two they aren't the type to pull their punches. Often tying the agents up to make a get away or roughing them up in a fist fight. They're the very definition of a wild card. Nobody can ever be sure if they'll slip in and out of a heist through stealth or make a big show out of pulling off a caper, and that uncertainty makes the entire organization jumpy which is just how Y/N likes it

I have had one (1) drink and am drowning in thoughts of Kevin learning that the Moriyama’s killed his mother and showing up on Neil and Andrew's door ready to do whatever it takes to shut them down and take them out

Love is fast asleep on a dirt road (with your head on my shoulder)

Happy Secret Sleuth, @ghostmaggie!! I read "Nace", "George", and "AUs" in your form and my brain went "so...an AU where George is the one who gets them together?" I hope you like it!

A Preview:

“He thinks the old Samuels place is haunted,” George deadpanned. Nancy held back a laugh at her friend’s expression. After all of the ghosts, demons, and other spirits George had helped Nancy vanquish over the years, she had started believing in the supernatural, but just barely. “I told him you’d meet him at the Claw for lunch at noon.” Nancy checked her watch. “If I’m going to make it, I need to leave in five minutes,” she realized, setting down her coffee and shuffling through the mess of papers on her desk to find her car keys. She double checked that she had a notepad and pen in her messenger bag as she grabbed it off her chair, but George reached for her arm before she could pull it over her head. “You’re not going to meet him dressed like that, are you?” she asked, smirking at Nancy’s bright yellow pajamas. By the time she had changed and driven to The Claw, she was almost ten minutes late for her impromptu new client meeting. She walked briskly into the front entrance, turning immediately to the booth where she always sat. Her first thought was that George had been right: she did recognize Ace. He had been at the firm’s Christmas party a few months earlier with the other major clients. He had had a local heiress on his arm at the time – a Marvin, Nancy thought – although they definitely hadn’t been dating. Her second thought was that Ace was hot.

Happy birthday a couple days early, @hucklebucket! 🥳

[drakesroyalromance]

you were the first full stop (love that will never leave)

Nancy says, “Hey, George, I have a question for you.”

“Yeah?” George asks, loudly slurping her drink through a ridiculously shaped straw.

“Why didn’t you know that Nick and Jade broke up?”

George stops drinking and Bess, who had been taking a sip, starts coughing loudly all of a sudden.

Or, Nancy and Ace spend their wedding weekend meddling.

This is my @secretsleuthexchange present for @duchess-of-mischief, I really hope you like it! Happy new year💕
