assassin cia espionage guides howtos mi6 rti sas spy

Let's face it: The espionage genre is a tough one. 
We espionage writers have to carefully toe a line between "too unrealistic" to "boring" or "not imaginative enough."  Probably one of the hardest genres to write, I have made a guide listing my experiences and difficulties in writing espionage, as well as advice and tips as well. 
My hope is that this guide will make it (slightly) easier for you to write your espionage story. 
Good luck!

Trigger by Intenndo

✎ "I could've killed you that night and I didn't. I had my gun to your head ready to drain the life from you, but I didn't." His eyes averted mine, and I saw an opening in them, something I wouldn't even have considered looking for if I was still overcome by anger. "Why didn't you?" I asked, watching him as he began to play with his sleeve cuffs in a way that I knew was unique to him. "Because I know what it's like to fight for something you love. Killing you would have just made me no different than another monster who lost themselves in the fight." He continued, "And I saw something in you I haven't seen in myself in a while- fire." ✎ Two unlikely allies ─ a fiery, hot-headed spy and a slick, calculating conman ─ are forced to team up to track down a dangerous criminal and uncover why sensitive information is being leaked. But as their pursuit pulls them deeper into a web of betrayal and deception, they discover that the whistleblower is just the beginning. Hidden in the shadows lies a not-so-human world-and with it, a truth neither of them is prepared to face. Along the way, their undeniable (yet endlessly denied) attraction threatens to ignite, even as the world around them begins to unravel.

Under Blue Light: an Alex Rider fanfiction by westcoast4ever

Abby has been a paramedic for a few years now. She's seen an awful lot of injuries, she's witnessed births and deaths, she's been in very stressful situations. It was all normal to her. Until one day, she comes across something really weird. Alex is 18. He thought he could leave his past behind. But MI6 (today called SIS) had other plans. Another mission, supposedly a pretty simple one. During a chase, he gets slammed against a car. The two guards after him collide with eachother. Alex has to hide in an underground parking space, he has to continue his investigation. Unfortunately, a paramedic sent to the accident wanders off of her group. Under no circumstances should she find out about Alex and what he's up to. Disclaimer: I write this fanfic because I am slowly loosing my grip on reality and Alex Rider is the only thing that keeps me sane. English is not my native language and I've probably made some mistakes but I don't care. This fic is purely for my entertainment but if you also like this story then keep on reading! In addition, I am not american and don't know much about the healthcare system so I figured I'd adapt the one from my country. It's just practical for me and as I said, I'm literally descending into madness so pardon the inaccuracy. Be warned, not a single fuck was given during the writing of these chapters.

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross] by WinterWillow901

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

Just Tourists ✔️ by 94sMixtape

Highest Rank: ||Mystery/Thriller #1|| ||Action #3|| We don't have a written manual on how to survive being a teenage girl and an agent for a secret government organization but there are definitely a few unmentioned rules that we spy girls go by: -You can never trust anyone, especially not hot boys, whether you're on a mission or not. -Your cover is your best weapon, so don't blow it. -Always buy the shoes... you may never know if you'll get a second chance. -Most importantly don't get attached to the subject. Especially if said subject is cute, because when in Rome...not all is as it seems. I mean you wouldn't guess a group of American girls were actually spies working for a secret agency right? After all, we're Just Tourists ••BOOK 2 IN THE JUST UNDERCOVER TRILOGY•• *cover by @THEICEWOLVES

Where the Ghosts Lie by jndixon2

{Wattpad Featured Story} Nolan Clay was convicted of murder and dishonorably discharged from his marksman position in the Navy SEALs all in one night...for a crime he didn't commit. After spending ten years in prison, all Nolan wants to do is live a quiet life in the mountains of Colorado. However, when Nolan is called upon by the Central Intelligence Agency to investigate rumors of terrorist activity, what he uncovers is more than he ever bargained for. Old enemies are planning to disrupt the way society functions and have created a system that seems unbreakable. Nolan must decide between two things: Walk away from the chaos as a condemned man, or save it from itself. This is a serial story and I post every Wednesday! It will not include any language or inappropriate scenes, but there is violence. Thank you so much for reading! ^_^

The Man between my crosshairs (girl X assassin) by The-Scrivener

Zoe lands in the walking city of Archigram for her last assassination as an apprentice. Her mission, kill a millennia-old immortal who founded the city. Simple except another assassin turns up for the same target. A tall blonde muscular rival, with the manners of a gentleman, and the soul of a rock hearted butcher. Unfortunately, there is only one target they have both sworn the kill so and only one can leave Archigram alive. Soon lives will change. Hearts will meet. Secrets will be exposed. Treachery will be uncovered. Plots will be disrupted. Fights had. Tears will be shed. Chases will happen. She doesn't know the biggest danger on this mission isn't for once her. Violence, Action, Danger from the out. Scenes of passionate frank unapologetic romance. Dialogue of sassy, cruel and sarcastic nature which may peeve. Some scenes containing gigantic machinery, megastructures and hard SciFi. Transgendered characters. Occasionally scientifically accurate descriptions which should be read at the reader's discretion. Other Stuff. No Harry Styles was harmed in the writing of this novel. May contain nuts. An unsuitable plot for those doing Algebra homework. I saw the lint of danger in his black eyes and knew he wasn't kidding. Time for a new heroin - Feisty, sexy, confident. New Chapters Every Thursday - Trust us, We Deliver. we defy you to find someone who says we ever missed a deadline or dropped a book halfway. Cover by the excellent -Ghost_Writer- Think "Grosse pointe blank meets Dune". Reb
