I am writing an Agent Carter fic. The show usually had some badass fight scenes between Peggy and the villain du jour, and I was planning on doing that. But she’s an espionage agent, and so for her fighting often means she’s failed because she’s been spotted. The most important thing, in most counter-espionage (which is what she’s doing) is to spot the enemy without being spotted in return, so you can tail them and find out their contacts and keep the enemy you know from being replaced by agents you don’t know (and hopefully feeding them false information while you do it).
It has just occurred to me that maybe instead of a fight scene, I should end this fic by the target being positively identified and put under surveillance. But it seems so anticlimactic. (On the other hand, it means I don’t have to figure out what the villain’s plot is, because that’s part of what the surveillance is meant to find out.) (On the third hand, it also means I don’t have to write a fight scene, which is good because I suck at action.) (On the fourth hand, given the time constraints, I think I’m going to write the surveillance ending so I can post it today before the deadline, then send it out to beta and see what they say–I’ve got a week until it goes live.)
Thoughts, opinions?
