Fandom: SPOOKS (MI-5)

Pairing: Dimitri Levendis / Tariq Massoud

Length: 1700 words

Why this must be read:

Dimitri and Tariq were about as close to normal as series 9 and 10 team members came. This story is about their emerging relationship, but also fills in the gaps after the series 9 finale left section D gutted.

In a short space, Dimitri and Tariq get some great dialogue, more characterization than they had onscreen, and some reflections on betrayal that set the scene for series 10.

Excerpt:

“We had sex, Dimitri,” Tariq says, not unkindly. “It happens, sometimes, between adults as attractive as you and I. And as for better things to do, my evening was going to consist of re-coding this database of names, drinking beer and eating chips, you tell me how important that sounds to you.”
