   Title: Foul-Weather Friend Author: waking_epiphany (Jamie) Rating: HARD R (NOTE THE RATING CHANGE), for language and sexy situations Disclaimer: These characters do not belong to me; they belong to J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot. Pairings: Sark/Sydney, implied past Sydney/Vaughn, implied past Sark/Lauren, implied past Sark/Alison. Timeline: Estimating that the end of season 4 ended in the month of May, consider this to start in July of that same summer. Summary: After suffering series of debilitating headaches and blackouts, Julian Sark takes a doctor-recommended leave from the second oldest profession in the world, espionage, only to be pulled right back into the thick of things at the arrival of a strange, scarlet envelope at his home. It contains intel concerning his longtime mentor, Irina Derevko, and there is only one other person who can help him find her. Sydney Bristow has left her life as a CIA operative to start a new life in anonymity after her sister, Nadia, is left in a coma and her fiancé, Michael Vaughn, is killed by Prophet 5, a mysterious terrorist group. She is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered existence when a familiar enemy and sometimes associate crashes back into her life. Reluctantly, they must work together to save something invaluably important to the both of them and in the in the process, maybe even save each other. Author’s Note: Happy Halloween, everyone! I know I say this every time, but I really think you’re going to enjoy this chapter. Halloween shenanigans abound for Sydney and Sark, we get to visit with an old friend, and we visit a beautiful, foreign city that I personally hold near and dear to my heart as a diehard Sarkney fan. A longer “Author’s Note” can be found at the end of part 2, right above the soundtrack, so don’t forget to check that out. As always, I hope not to disappoint with this chapter! Enjoy!Part 1: **( Where Sark’s inner demons finally came out to torture him for his past crimes, Sydney found only blessed, unfeeling darkness in the sickness that finally consumed her... )**Part 2: **( There were no clouds marring the full moon on the night of Halloween in Paris... )**Soundtrack: ( Foul-Weather Friend, Chapter Eleven Soundtrack ) |
