Happy Yuletide to all! I got two stories this year, both for the super-slashy, very beautiful 2001 movie "Spy Game", which is chock-full of intense emotions and extreme competence. I always think that anyone who enjoys a heist or con movie will also enjoy this one, since Robert Redford spends the entire non-flashback core of the film being interrogated and supposedly backed into a corner, while actually he is setting a whole plan of his own deftly in motion. ♥

The main gift lightly dips in to Nathan & Tom's life together over time in the job, as Nathan thinks he's controlling Tom, while unbeknownst to him, Tom is figuring him out. I really enjoyed the use of those "four lies" from canon:

And then there's a treat set entirely post canon, that puts them into an isolated snowy cabin (I am always glad to see an isolated snowy cabin!), cozily grounded in the physical details of daily life:
