If I should stumble

by Sevi007

Murder and Bonding (Or Bonding Through Murder?)

by Praetor

Alex does not expect James. And he does not expect the trouble he brings. But maybe, just maybe, James brings more than just trouble.SpyFest 2021 Fic Exchange! Story for True ColoursPrompt 1: Alex reconnects with James Sprintz from Point Blanc. Maybe they are both a few years older and James is still a tearaway rich kid and takes Alex for a wild night out on the town. It could be really fun if they end up accidentally foiling a villain's scheme in the course of the night, in the style of one of the Alex Rider spinoff short stories.

The Spider in my room

by CheeseSnack

As we know, several years after "adopting" Spider into the McCosker family, Mary and Nash decide to have children of their own. With time, Socorro completely pulled away, feeling unwanted, while the oldest blood-son Henry grew to dislike his foster brother and his culture because of his parents’ negative influence.Deep down however, ten year old Henry is endlessly curious about the boy he’s been sharing his room with. Confusion sets in as they begin bonding on a random day, and neither of them know what to do with their newfound relationship. Moreover, Henry feels like he isn’t allowed to like Spider at all……is he?Can he allow himself to indulge in said curiosity and follow Spider into his world? Understand it?See it?And would Spider and he ever let each other in?..(A.k.a: a look into Spider’s life as a neglected foster member of the McCosker family, told through the point of view of their biological son, who’s world turns on his head the closer he gets to him.)
