    Summary

    Alex doesn’t remember dying, and he isn’t sure that he’s dead. But what other explanation can there be for waking up in a locked room with one gun and the two men who killed his family?

    Elsewhere, John and Helen Rider meet a much older version of Ian than the man they left behind in England.

    A story told about what may yet be a dream, but certainly isn’t yet the whole version of the truth.

    Summary

    Alex Rider is retired. He's no longer a spy, and in this retirement, he's spending his espionage-free days at University.

    His normal life is suddenly overturned when trouble follows him one day in lecture and MI6 steps in to assist.

    Identity reveal, badass spying, and Alex just living his life.

    I update when I want, but it's marked as complete because they're unrelated oneshots in the same universe. Bookmark or subscribe to get my once a year or so updates ig :)

    Summary

    Customs was a source of frustration even for world class assassins. All the more so when Yassen sees a very familiar and very unwanted mop of blonde hair in front of him. It had been 3 months since he warned Alex Rider to stay out of this line of work. He had obviously ignored that. The question was - is he working now? [Spyfest 2020 Week 3 Winner]

    Or

    Being Alex Rider’s unofficial guardian angel was more work than it should be but no less worth it.

    Summary

    Ian was twenty-four years old when his brother was assassinated, his sister-in-law became collateral damage, and a screaming wriggling bundle was deposited in his arms.
    “We’ll need to open an investigation” Blunt said, “I need someone to run it”.
    He pictured how his life could turn out, taking care of Alex in between missions, jetting all over the world to track down the bastards who orphaned his nephew, and-
    -and raising Alex, actually raising him, ensuring that he was happy and cared for and loved
    That seemed like a far better way to honour his dead brother’s memory.
    “Well, Agent Rider? What is your decision?”
    Ian glanced over at Jones, knew that she knew what he was thinking by the slight upward curl of her lips, smiled, then turned back to Blunt and stared him straight in the eye.
    “I quit”.

    Or, the one where Ian tells Blunt to go fuck himself, Alex is unwillingly drawn into the spy world at fourteen anyway, and Yassen finds a certain over-protective rampaging on-the-warpath uncle very attractive indeed.

    Summary

    You know, if anything, he’d always expected the life-shattering injury to be caused by a ghost. Maybe Skulker with his rocket launcher, or a dead giant animal or something, but not… not like this.
    He should have expected it, really, but…
    He figured that he’d just hoped it wouldn’t have been anyone he cared about. A pity, that fate always screwed him over in the worst possible way.
