Title: His Greatest Gift
Author: jedibuttercup
Fandom(s): Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Rating: PG-15; slash
Disclaimer: The words are mine. The world is not. Alas.

Summary: "For the last fifteen months Ben and Mike had been slowly figuring out what they were to each other within the boundaries of suits and earpieces and national responsibilities. Long enough to know whether the initial attraction between them was mostly a byproduct of adrenaline, close quarters and secrecy, or whether there was a firmer foundation there, if they were willing to take the risk...." 16,600 words.

Notes: An Olympus Has Fallen what-comes-next, established relationship story. AU for London Has Fallen, especially one particular detail not established in OHF, though I did borrow a couple of lines. :) Part of the Duty 'verse.

Sources: As always, Secret Service details were embroidered from fictional depictions, Wikipedia, and a tell-all book or two. A couple of agent names were borrowed from Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series; and one (female) character appears from the Die Hard universe. (Because I alluded to a John McClane quote in a previous story, and decided it would make sense for a Republican to have been elected instead of a Democrat in 2008-- judging by the in-movie timeline-- if "Live Free, Die Hard" happened to be canon.)

Acknowledgements: Written for the 2015/16 smallfandombang. To maevebran for agreeing to preread this story; to angelus2hot, my artist; and also for everyone's who's ever begged me for more of this universe.

PG, Olympus Has Fallen/Guarding Tess; 2000 words. Gen, with background slash; Duty 'verse #4.

Mike knew objectively that he was a legend now himself, but it was still a little disconcerting to have someone he'd read about as a rookie discussing the events that had landed him in the history books.

PG-13, Olympus Has Fallen; 1100 words. Mike Banning/President Asher. Fluff and banter, this time; 3rd in the Duty 'verse.

It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
