Look, Ji & I may have gotten a little bit carried away following this exchange.

~

Ji: I got your comment and am thrilled but afraid to reveal how much in public

me: REVEAL

Ji: It is true, but that just means they are the BADDIES

me: EVEN BETTER

Ji: I KNOW

me: thomas b. would have made a good spy actually

Ji: Thomas M. is the one you don't know is a baddie
except you totally know.
because you have seen movies before.

me: if he hadn't been so keen on science

Ji: Yes, he would!
He has the people skills as well.

me: And the edge of moral flexibility which he would have slowly discovered as the situations required it

Ji: And I think he would find it really satisfying as well.

me: Yesss. Okay, tell me about Thom in this AU

Ji: I think he likes knowing things other people don't know
/being smarter than other people

me: that is true!

Ji: and spies are!

me: I have just realised that his relationship with Melody as regards Thom is EXACTLY THE SAME as if Thom were a metaphor for a dirty past in the spy business

Ji: I'm not sure. he is like a cross between the sulkiest Bond girl ever, a fucked up version of M and a terrorist
YOU ARE RIGHT

me: you only tell her when you trust her, and never tell her everything, and feel a bit weird when the two worlds intersect

Ji: Yes. And if she ever did know everything, it might not be The End
but that is almost worse ..

me: kjhdsd I am trying to imagine Thom as a Bond girl. Thomas B. would lose all patience with him halfway through the movie

Ji: he wouldn't be a good one

me: no

Ji: at all.
I will put my money on strangely alluring terrorist.

me: he might be okay if he STARTED the movie as a Bond girl and then morphed into some kind of triple agent

Ji: I also just can't imagine Thom finishing up on the Good Side.

me: I wish you would not say that, it makes me long DESPERATELY for a Spooks-Tom/Thom story
where Thom is an alluring terrorist
but that is TOO MANY TOMS

Ji: HAHAHAHAHA
oh my god
you could combine that
with our James Bond AU

me: HAHAH YES

Ji: THREE OF THEM
how many more Toms do we know??
that could be the glue

me: and then put them all in a room and have Henry laughing uncontrollably in the corner

Ji: er, Irwin
I'll now pause to imagine him in James Bond universe attire.
For some time.

me: I can see Irwin being an analyst type person
jksjdfh
yesssss

Ji: Yes, me too.
He doesn't do any of the actual spying work.

me: he considers situations in the light of their historical context
DAKIN would be a spy
in this scenario

Ji: HE WOULD
he would LOVE IT

me: YES

Ji: He already is a spy in his head.

me: oh god I love this universe
I think Henry is M
or the equivalent

Ji: is he?
but he has an evil overlord alter-self

me: if he was old enough

Ji: that would be even more fun
because we need one

me: he definitely has a Past with obviously-a-villain Thomas M.

Ji: Yes.

me: Thomas M and Thom would do well on the same side
if they could stop arguing long enough

Ji: I would love to see them forced to work together because they would be so bad at it.

me: yeah, they are more suited to working alone but towards the same goal
than ever, EVER having to cooperate

Ji: Yes, that is a very good point.
And trying very hard never to have to be in the same place at the same time.

me: so on the side of probably-good we have....Spooks-Tom, Thomas B., and Dakin
and Irwin and Henry behind the scenes
we need more bad guys

Ji: I said Henry for bad guy!
master bad guy

me: oh yes

Ji: so that's four to three
if we can think of another Tom I think we will be set

me: ....hmm. I am running a little dry on Toms. could we maybe cheat and recruit Mai Linh solely for purposes of BAMFism?

Ji: But then it isn't a fair contest, is it?
I feel like any James Bond universe cannot really support a person like Mai Linh
/vice versa

me: Alas :( Hmm.
the only other fannish Tom that springs to mind is Tom Riddle. not a lot of help.

Ji: hahahahahahaha

me: how about I post and appeal to Emma and Aria

(because clearly what we need is ANOTHER version of the Mystique in which to drabble)
