Love Like War

@ king in the north
Yeah, because she would have booked a tour guide for the museum as they're a group and maybe she'll give the kids two minutes to look at whatever section of the museum they're in and has a discussion with Drew about the sculpture he injected on to test his knowledge on it which makes her impressed before moving on with the tour.

And my girl...she's going to be called Victoria but is known as Vicky. Her sister is called Chloe who is older than Vicky by three years and is unemployed. She's been a teacher for a few years now and is really passionate about her work.

@ castiel's vessel
Ooh, that's a wonderful idea! I love that! Either way, now that we're sticking to this idea, I need to do like massive research on some specific pieces of art or some heirloom from a historical event. Yeah, Drew is definitely A LOT smarter than me.

Vicky is such a purrdy name! Please stick with it. I also adore the concept of how she has an older sister and even if her sister is older, Vicky is the one who has her life together, minus the whole cheating ex thing.

So where does this story take place btw? The CIA headquarters are in Langley, Virginia but like in the movie, it takes place in Los Angeles so I'm a bit confused.

@ king in the north
The CIA has a field office in LA

I'm writing AKs bg ATM . I just rewatched the movie so.... c:

@ castiel's vessel

@ EmzyStilinski
I downloaded the film from On Demand and watched it too!

So this is based in LA?

@ king in the north
Yeah, Vicky's got her life together and is really independent. Contrary to the film, she'll have her family near her and would never move just for a guy because her work is too important.

@ EmzyStilinski
Ahh okay because L.A. is definitely a better landmark than Langley... and what does BG mean???? Oh and I just watched the movie at my bestie's place and I just got back home. Holy shit! Tom Hardy is delicious! Like when I first saw Tuck I was like "HOLY SHIT EAMES FROM INCEPTION!"

@ castiel's vessel
Okay, that makes much more sense because I feel like not every girl will just drop everything for a guy.

Oh and I was thinking for Drew's first chapter, I want to start with a flashback scene where Drew and AK are in a mission. Drew's like "yo, AK hurry up and detonate the bomb." And it's like a tension-filled moment during a highly dangerous mission (like a brief scene.) And then I can just kick back right down to the present time.

@ king in the north
Tom Hardy is damn fine.

Yeah, dropping your whole life and family for a guy is a bit much for most girls and I like Vicky being able to function without a guy, or even trying to make long distance work (which doesn't end up working).

For Vicky's first chapter I was thinking about her teaching and mentioning the trip to the kids and when they go home she books it for the following week. That way there's an insight to her profession, her life when she goes home and everything about her before she meets the guys.

A few things
-One I was thinking of making the title A Love Like War
Two I was thinking as of posting order making Vicky In the middle maybe: Drew , Vicky, AK.
Three I was thinking the rating R for violence and mentions of sex. I don't know if I can do
nc 17
Four can I flip the script and be British

(Bg means background )

@ EmzyStilinski
I was thinking that for the title too!
And I was going to suggest Vicky be in the middle as well because it'd make sense.
R is fine with me because the original film was only a 12 anyway so I don't think we'd go full explicit sex here.

@ castiel's vessel
What are your thoughts on AK being British. (I may ask you for lingo advice but I'm okay at it)

@ EmzyStilinski
To be honest, I feel that maybe there should be none British so to differ from the film in that aspect. However, I'm perfectly fine if AK's British because that'd be okay.

@ castiel's vessel
I only brought it up cus the guy that's my fc for AK is British

@ EmzyStilinski
If you can incorporate the British lingo into AK, then I have no objections to it! And sure, I'm willing to go first; probably makes sense because of the intro I wanted to incorporate regarding the mission.

A Love Like War is the perfect title for this story!

@ castiel's vessel
Ahh, then I guess she won't meet Drew until Drew's second chapter right?

What I have so far......

Aaron Kyle "AK" Gentry (special agent Gentry, has a nice ring to it)
25
CIA agent specialises in Artillery and Bombs. Number One sharp shooter.

AK is very reserved while letting people in. When he meets Victoria, he is kind of an jerk until she runs into her ex who is now engaged and running it in her face. AK comes to the rescue and decides to buy her a drink or something. Hes not used to having women around more than one night but, Vicky is different from other women.

AK's cover job is a pilot, giving him a cover to leave the country.

AK grew up in the UK with his father until he was twelve and his father died of cancer. He then moved with his mother who was a drug addict and he was shipped to America to live with a foster family at thirteen and was adopted six months later. AK met Drew at the end of eighth grade and they've been inseparable since then. AK doesn't like getting close to people, afraid they will be ripped from him.

AK was recruited for his sharp shooting and artillery expertise. He has been in the CIA for six years.

BANNER

Alright, and this is what I have so far regarding my character.

Andrew James Radetzsky (the last name is taken by an Austrian military marshall who led the Austrian army to fight off the Sardinians during the first Italian independence movement in 1848.)

I have no idea how this whole CIA department stuff works; so I wouldn't know where to place Drew. He is AK's partner, that is for sure.

His cover job is a historian and a researcher for an organization (that does not exist) so it gives him a lot of excuses/reasons to travel all over the world to do the research.

Drew is very open and pretty much is shameless when it comes to sharing whatever it is that he has on his mind. He sometimes tends to ramble on and on about things, a talkative man indeed. He doesn't have a tragic past, aside from knocking up Cora and having a kid with her when they are both in high school. His parents are both business people so he never really had any problems with discipline.

Despite all of that, he is a hopeless romantic and prefers to win a girl the old-fashioned way (until he finds out that his best friend is in the game on winning Vicky's heart). Alike Tuck, he is very sweet and "safe"

So let's just say that Drew doesn't really have friends, because of his job and all. AK is his best and only friend at this point (the friends he made in high school and at University are no longer in contact with him.)

Drew is recruited for his historical and political (since they come hand in hand) knowledge as well as the flawless ability to conduct effective research. He can also speak three other languages aside from English (having a historical mind and all.) Alike AK, he has been in the CIA for six years. I'm assuming that they applied together right?

@ EmzyStilinski
Also, I was thinking that if you guys like the style that I make my banners click here for example (sorry I did not include a text yet since I couldn't decide on a working title for this particular story for this banner), I can make a banner like this if you guys tell me the actor/actress or whoever you guys are using as face claims for your characters.

If you have a specific picture you want me to use then make sure that it is a picture that shows at least the upper half of the body (and make sure that the head and the limbs are not cut off.)

AK Gentry

@ king in the north

@ EmzyStilinski
Yo, he's hot. He looks like this dude from this band that I listen to.

@ king in the north
Its my icon picture and if you listen to you me at six, its the same guy (Dan flint)

@ EmzyStilinski
YES!!!!!!! I knew this dude was from You Me At Six! I thought he was Max or something (sorry, not really on a name basis with the band members.) Very hot, and I think he looks like the AK character. he has that charm. I'm still trying to figure out who i want as my face claim.

@ king in the north
Idk if you want his kid to be a boy or a girl but here are two suggestions.

Boy or Girl
