Fic: Hold The Wire

[chanter1944]

Half a glass of wine and a nasty almost-unrelated brain spiral (guilt frakking hurts), and I suddenly had muse enough to finish this fic. I probably missed a visual detail or several as far as the end of 'Strike Back' goes, but the premise works as far as the audio took me.

Summary:

To whom does your loyalty cleave? Cleave indeed. Nathalie thought she knew that answer, but never let it be said she's outright lied to herself for cause.

Or, Hawkmoth absolutely left that phone line wide open, and Mayura may be wounded in at least three senses of the word, but she's not down yet.

Tag to 'Strike Back'. Spoilers in both implication and outright depiction for season 4's finale.
