Summary
-----
It's been a few months since the fall that left Juniper's face and ego scarred forever, and now he tries to live as quiet life as possible as one 'Jaques Pine' can. He wakes up one morning and realises he's spent the night with someone a little too familiar.
-----
Fic inspired by 'Meaningless Sex' by Crawlers (and their new album in general), specifically this passage:
Do you love me despite my body?
'Cause I've seen the way you look at me
And you look at me like you're seeing meJust like how I always wanted to be
Now I'm crying after we had sex
'Cause I think I've fell in love againCan you stay for a little while?
This isn't meaningless sex
And I want to fall in love again-----
Beta read by my friend Imp :3

Summary
Fully expecting them both to die in a botched attempt to infiltrate the Fabricator's workshop, Agent Phoenix reveals the strange circumstances of his apparent immortality to his Handler, Reginald Crane. Crane, deeply concerned for his friend's sanity, seeks the advice of Enhanced Operatives Division chief roboticist and Kinesium brain-implant designer Dr. Prism, and is told in no uncertain terms to have Phoenix committed for psychiatric help... but the EOD has a dangerous secret: Phoenix isn't the only agent who has experienced cyclical deaths, and Prism's not the only one who knows about it.

The Agent is feeling under the weather. That’s fine, though—they’ve worked through a hell of a lot worse than a head cold, and they’re sure they can manage this on their own.
Their concerned Handler has other ideas.

Summary
It’s a strange dichotomy, being suspended in the air and yet unable to fly.
Agent feels it down through their hollow bones. There’s no gravity in space, and the casual weightlessness is…strange. It’s not like flying at all, but their feet aren’t touching the ground. Their Source is the sky, the atmosphere around the Earth, and in that regard, Agent is totally fine. The difference between the ground and the sky is quite the same between the sky and low orbit, so there’s no gaping void in their chest.
It’s just— strange.
.
Or, the Agent is a Harpy, not a Phoenix. After the Death Engine, this raises some questions.Series

Summary
Reginald Crane wasn't always the Agency's Lead Support Agent. There was a point where he was a Field Agent, like many others.
Agent Phoenix wasn't always Agent Phoenix. They were someone else; a troublemaker in need of an outlet, a reader with a dream.
They weren't always The Handler and Agent Phoenix. Who were they before?
===
A bit of a headcanon fic, I suppose. The events that led our Handler to become a Handler after being a Field Agent, and how Phoenix got to the Agency in the first place.

Summary
"So, John. Everyone knows that you use your 'Mask Technique' to get into character. Could you describe what the mask for Agent Phoenix looked like?"
"Actually, Matt, I brought that exact mask with me to show the viewers."
"You're kidding?"
"Nope." Juniper reached behind his chair and grabbed the mask to show the audience, as the entire studio applauded at the reveal.
You gaped as you saw Juniper show off an all too familiar mask to millions through prime-time television. That was your phoenix mask. The one you wore to Juniper's masquerade to retrieve the briefcase. The one you threw at Juniper as a distraction.
The mask that you had forgotten was still in his possession.
Highly recommended that you read the previous fics in this series before you read this one!
