Summary
Yellow and gold used to remind him of the sun, how on a sunny day it used to light up the golden strands of Owen’s hair, cause his eyes to sparkle with love and a hint of mischief.
It reminded him of the few days they could steal each other when a mission was done, going on dates in the park, bringing food to their room where they could be together without any fear of anyone seeing them. Without having to be afraid anyone would realize they were anything other than partners, and good friends.
It doesn't remind him of that anymore.

Summary
Red. It had been Curt’s favorite color once, years ago. Before he became a spy, back when he was still young with no set plans for his future, still carefree and happy.
It changed when he went on his first mission. Red, which had been associated with love, or passion, sometimes cheerful summertime, or fall days spent picking apples with his best friend, now reminded him of blood and death.
One day, he promised himself, red would mean something more than death. And for a while, it did.
But that couldn't last forever.

Summary
He had once thought that knowing Owen was dead and gone, and that it was his fault would be the worst thing he had to live with.
He never would have thought that four years after he lost the love of his life, his love would return, but hate him.
Looking into Owen’s eyes, eyes that had once been filled with love and adoration, that he could stare into for hours, that had become his favorite color, now twisted with hatred was perhaps the worst thing he had ever seen.

Summary
Owen had spent two years with Chimera before he was able to go back into the field. They were spent in agony, with agents performing tests on him and trying out new torture equipment. He was their test subject, and nothing more.
For the first month, he looked up every time the door opened or he heard a voice in the hallway, convinced that it was Curt. Two months went by, and though he couldn’t stop the small flare of hope when he heard a scuffle outside, his shattered leg and three broken ribs stopped him from inching towards the door, towards where he thought Curt must be.
Three more months, and he stopped looking up when the door opened. He had been trying to stay in decent condition for when Curt came for him, but now, Owen thought Curt must also have been captured or be dead. There was no other reason why he would not have come for him.
It was a year after his capture when he finally learned the truth.

Summary
Curt couldn’t reconcile Owen, the spy who he had looked up to, admired, and been in love with for years with the new Owen who stood in front of him. The one who murdered for his enjoyment, who killed because of some sick plan of revenge against him.
He had hated the Deadliest Man Alive. That much he knew.
He loved Owen with all his being. He knew that as well.
How could he both hate and love the same person with such fierce intensity?

Summary
Curt Mega and Owen Carvour were never meant to have a happy ending.
In one world Owen dies falling from a staircase after slipping on a banana, in another he survives that, but is killed years later by Curt himself while standing on another staircase.
There is another world where they never get together. Where they work together as partners, but never allow themselves to feel anything more. In that world, Owen dies of a stray gunshot. Curt mourns, but his grief is more for what they could have had.
There’s a world where they meet in elementary school and become best friends. The world is different in this universe-- telling your friends that you are marrying your boyfriend when you are in third grade is met with amusement and interest instead of disgust or scorn at marrying a boy.
Each world has differences, some major, and some quite small. Where in one world Curt leaves Owen after his fall, in another he goes back for him, and stays by his side as the facility explodes around them.
There are two constants in these worlds.

Summary
Everyone that Curt had cared about died because of him. First it was his younger brother-- Curt was nineteen at the time, his brother fourteen, and an accident had taken him away in less than a minute. He was there, and then he was gone. Curt’s father had died not long after from illness, and though he had mourned for him too, that loss was nothing like the loss of his brother. Soon after, he joined the agency.
The first time his mother was kidnapped, he cried when they finally found her. He didn’t really have friends in the agency, and most of his family was dead. He couldn’t lose her, and he vowed that he would keep everyone he loved about safe. He wouldn’t lose anyone else.

Summary
Owen had always trusted Curt. Since they had worked together that first time, each trusted the other to watch their back. They didn’t trust each other with their secrets yet, but trusted their training and that the other would protect them.
After they became friends, they trusted each other fully, with everything about themselves. Owen could always count on Curt to understand him perfectly, to get what he meant or wanted him to know without having to say it.
Owen was trying to drop clues. He knew Curt better than he knew anyone, knew his insecurities and fears, and knew that if he acted enough unlike himself, bringing those things up and acting cold, Curt would realize what was happening. Realize he was being monitored by Chimera even while they talked, and that he was waiting for Curt to come up with a genius idea to get them out of this.
Curt would know. He just knew that he would.

Summary
“Curt Mega, you’re going to be the death of me!”
“I’d never let you down!”
It happened too quickly for him to even realize something was wrong. Owen’s foot landed on the banana peel that he had dropped and he slipped, falling to the side. Falling off the rickety staircase and into the abyss.
“Owen!”
Curt lunged forwards, adrenaline spiking as he reached for Owen’s hand and barely caught it. They had almost lost each other so many times, but this wouldn’t be one of them. He grabbed onto the metal railing and pulled Owen back up, panting from the exertion, but his hand was sweaty and slipped.
“No!”
Owen fell, screaming Curt’s name. He couldn’t tear his eyes away as Owen finally hit the ground and lay there, still. The sound of his partner hitting the cold concrete rang in his ears.
Then he was moving, back down the stairs and towards him, where he flung himself on his knees next to Owen. Dead or not, he couldn't leave him, even if that meant he would die too.

Summary
Curt had always believed in destiny, and until he became a spy wanted nothing more than to meet his soulmate. To meet the one person who was meant to be with him.
Owen had never believed in destiny. Somewhere inside of him he wanted a soulmate, someone who would love him for who he was, but he wasn't going to pretend that he was someone anyone could love.
Despite his best efforts not to get attached, Curt cared too deeply. But not about the insufferable Owen Carvour. He hated him. Hated his smug attitude, the arrogance and confidence that he carried himself with, how his stupid hair was slicked back, the way his dark eyes seemed to sparkle in the soft golden light of the candles--
Nope. Not going there. He wasn't his soulmate, and he wasn't ever going to care about the stupid British spy.

Tatiana goes after Owen instead of Curt.
Curt doesn't know what she will do; whether she will injure him or knock him out and bring him back, or just kill him outright.
He sits in the small safe house, staring at the door, waiting for Tatiana to return. Waiting to hear if Owen is even alive.
Three hours went by in silence before Tatiana finally returned.

Summary
“You.”
Four years of pure hatred at being abandoned by the person who he had once loved rose to the surface as he finally saw his face again. It had been years since they were last face to face, with his last memory of him being him reaching out, calling mockingly that “I’ll never let you down”, before he let him fall. Before he let him crash down thirty feet onto the concrete and then left him behind, running away to save himself while leaving Owen dying on the floor of a dirty weapons facility.
Owen had woken up in pain, now a servant to Chimera, stripped of everything that he used to love. He could no longer go back to MI6, and his entire life’s work as a spy was ripped up and thrown away because of one arrogant, impulsive spy. Agent Curt Mega.
