Why This Must Be Read: So, what happens after they run? This story chronicles the post-movie story, with spot-on characterization, snark, and dialogue that matches the issues and attraction that was showcased in the movie. As, as the summary goes, The irony was that Mr. and Mrs. Smith were completely incompatible.




"You make my life miserable," Jane breathed after they finished, her tongue idly teasing the reddening bruise on his shoulder.

"Oh, I know." John pecked her perfunctorily before standing up; it felt oddly out of place, and she frowned. "We have a meeting to get to." He cleaned himself up and got ready to leave within seconds. "You coming?"

"I'll meet you there. Try not to get killed before I arrive."

"I'll do my best," he replied with a slight grin before rushing out.

Jane remained in bed for a few minutes, wondering why they only managed to have actual arguments while out on a hit. When they were alone, everything rather automatically led to bed, which, while nice, was decidedly unpractical given their current predicament.

It was irritating, but sometimes it seemed like sex was the only thing that put them on the same page; and they often needed reminding that there was a good reason they'd both given up on their careers to risk their lives for each other.

They needed to figure out a feasible course of action, and fast. John seemed to thrive on living one day at a time, following hunches left and right, but this indecision was driving Jane insane. Though part of a huge organization, she had always worked the field alone; she never worked well with a partner, and she was starting to remember why.

If John did get his way and start an agency, Jane didn't know how they would manage it. For one, they would never be able to work together and coordinate others in a harmonic fashion. The other two possibilities were even less appealing. She would never live with John as her supervisor; and if he worked as her subordinate, she'd fire him within minutes.

The only solution was for them to work apart—and that was definitely not an option.
