Summary: After suffering series of debilitating headaches and blackouts, Julian Sark takes a doctor-recommended leave from the second oldest profession in the world, espionage, only to be pulled right back into the thick of things at the arrival of a strange, scarlet envelope at his home. It contains intel concerning his longtime mentor, Irina Derevko, and there is only one other person who can help him find her. Sydney Bristow has left her life as a CIA operative to start a new life in anonymity after her sister, Nadia, is left in a coma and her fiancé, Michael Vaughn, is killed by Prophet 5, a mysterious terrorist group. She is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered existence when a familiar enemy and sometimes associate crashes back into her life. Reluctantly, they must work together to save something invaluably important to the both of them and in the in the process, maybe even save each other.
Author’s Note: Part 3 of chapter 12.

Author’s Note: I feel like I am always apologizing for taking so long to post! I'm not even sure anyone is still following FWF, but for those you still with me, I am eternally grateful. It's not quite the end yet...the last chapter (how many parts it will contain, I don't know) will be chapter 13. Had to split the rest of chapter 12 into two parts, so make sure to read part 2 and then part 3, with the soundtrack as always at the end. As for the chapters' content, this chapter has been in the making since the very beginning. In fact, I built the rest of the story around the concepts introduced and explained in these two parts, some of which I'm not sure everyone will like. These chapters are very dialogue heavy and a lot of exposition is explained, so please excuse me for being so long-winded. That being said, please enjoy the rest of chapter 12, which contains a cure for the blackouts, the identity of The Messenger, and a cliff hanger ending that I will apologize for right now :-) Enjoy!

Author’s Note: If any of you are still following my story, I humbly apologize for taking so long to put this chapter out. And, regrettably, I led toriblue and a few others to believe that chapter 12 will be the last chapter of FWF, and it will be…however there will be more than one part to chapter twelve. 3 parts, I think but at the very least, 2. In this chapter, Sydney and Sark deal with the aftermath of “the morning after”, meet up with an old enemy, and witness the resurrection of not one, not two, but three people we thought were dead! There is a Kill Bill reference in this one…a gold star for whoever finds it! Enjoy, please review, and as always, soundtrack is at the end (please comment if you need the songs re-uploaded!).

Author’s Note: Happy Halloween, everyone! I know I say this every time, but I really think you’re going to enjoy this chapter. Halloween shenanigans abound for Sydney and Sark, we get to visit with an old friend, and we visit a beautiful, foreign city that I personally hold near and dear to my heart as a diehard Sarkney fan. A longer “Author’s Note” can be found at the end of part 2, right above the soundtrack, so don’t forget to check that out. As always, I hope not to disappoint with this chapter! Enjoy!

( Where Sark’s inner demons finally came out to torture him for his past crimes, Sydney found only blessed, unfeeling darkness in the sickness that finally consumed her… )

Author’s Note: The long awaited chapter 10 is here! Thank you for sticking with me so far...I hope not to dissapoint. There is an homage to possibly my most favorite movie of all time in this chapter and if you share my obsession with this particular 80's classic, holler back at me! Soundtrack's at the end like always!

( She remembered noticing his hands, how if they belonged to anyone else she would have called them beautiful. There was a promise in his touch, but Sydney was already letting go... )

I felt as if I owed all of you an explanation for my hiatus. I’m not trying to make excuses here (well, honestly, I am, but I’m hoping you’ll forgive me) but I thought it was necessary to let you know why I didn’t write for a good 5-6 months.

You are now looking at a woman with her Master’s degree in education who doesn’t want to teach. I just spent the last 5 months student teaching and graduated this past week and have realized there is nothing I want to do less than teaching. It takes a special kind of person to teach America’s youth and that just isn’t me. It was probably the hardest thing I have ever done and I know now that it isn’t what I want to do with my life.

So! What does that mean for you, fans of “Foul-Weather Friend”? It means that while I look for a job, I will in all likelihood have more time to write, for this fic and for an original story I hope to one day publish. So I just wanted to extend thanks to all of you that have been so patient with me and my sluggishness and I promise to be more diligent now that I’ve finished school.

Also, just as a warning, I’ve been having computer problems. Would anyone know what it means when your start menu, toolbar, and desktop items disappear or flash on and off? Cause nothing is staying open for more than 15 seconds. Hopefully I’ll be getting a new computer soon and will be transferring my documents before the old one blows up on me.

So, in short:
1. Student teaching sucked (Jamie is not cut out for it).
2. Am currently jobless (Jamie needs direction and money in her life).
3. More free time on my hands (Jamie will update FWF! And maybe write her long-talked-about original fic).
4. Loves all the support you have given her (Jamie is eternally thankful for your comments and reviews. Jamie grovels at your feet).

( She could see herself in a place like this, far away tight, revealing dresses and day-glo wigs. She’d be alone, but safe and content in the cool, English countryside. Sydney’s heart longed for it. )

Author’s Note: Part 1 of 3 parts of Chapter 9! I told you it would be a long one, and for good reason. The next chapter might take a bit longer to churn out, so I need to apologize ahead of time for the expected delay. As for the chapter, Sark and Sydney are reunited and it feels so good! Sark and Sydney fill each other in on their vacations away from one another, visit an old friend of Sark’s, and find themselves posing under some rocking aliases! You’ll find the awesome soundtrack for this chapter in the part 3 section of the chapter and as always, enjoy “Foul-Weather Friend”!

Author’s Note: Chapter 8, Part 2 was finished a bit sooner than previously anticipated. I wrote the entirety of this on tiny slips of paper while I worked the returns desk at a large, franchised, hardware store. It made the work day go by a bit quicker :-) In this chapter, there are a few familiar faces, lots of pork products, two dead bodies and one funeral. The soundtrack for this chapter is great and it contains the song that was the inspiration for the story's title, Foul-Weather Friend. Enjoy!

( There was no bad blood between them now, their past crimes and misdeeds forgiven, and they walked away from each other, each carrying the weight of the words left unsaid between them. )

Author’s Note: Chapter 8 is here! I wasn't sure if I should post this installment right before Harry Potter 7 comes out, but fans made their opinions very clear about me posting ASAP, and I must do your bidding! This first half of chapter 8 is a little shorter than some of the other chapters I have posted, but that doesn't mean it is any less entertaining! In fact, I think this chapter might end with best cliffhanger so far...I'm a bit in love with it, actually. So please, read, and enjoy!

( Sydney had expected Sark to come crawling back within a day or so. Once he’d gotten over himself and how ridiculously immature he had been, she’d find him one morning sitting on the couch, tail between his legs. Only he hadn’t come back.  )

So, I'm assuming that, like me, most of you are starting to avoid the interwebs for fear of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows spoilers coming out of the shadows and biting you in the ass.

Keeping that in mind, I've just finished the latest installment of "Foul-Weather Friend" and I was wondering if I should post it tommorrow, with the potential that some of the readers of the story might miss seeing the post for a week or possibly even weeks while they stay away from the internet while finishing DH?

Or should I hold off on posting it for a couple of weeks and wait for people to come rushing back to the sweet sweet internet upon finishing book 7?

What would all of you rather I do? Thoughts? Consensus?

Also, this might seem redundant and whiny, but please, please, please do not post any comments regarding HP and the DH. I've been so good staying away from spoilers for this book and really want to find out what happens in my own sweet time. Thanks guys!

Author’s Note: I really tried to get this chapter out on the one year anniversary of posting the first chapter of FWF (April 10th) but couldn’t make it work before today. In this half of the chapter, we find out what SpyDaddy was trying to tell Syd in their phone conversation, meet up with an old friend, and find that the consequences of Syd and Sark’s short tryst go deeper than either of them expect. Enjoy!

(  A few drinks ago, Sark might have understood that this question wasn’t as simple as it seemed. His situation gave the answer to this question certain complexities and complications he really should look over. But Sark was sick of the complex and complicated. He wanted simple. )

Author’s Note: I am so sorry this installment took so long! With my first semester of grad school under my belt, I think I'll be able to churn out the second part of this chapter quicker than the 5 some-odd months it took for this one to be posted. I have to say, even though its only a half of a chapter, I think readers of the story will find it enjoyable ;-) A candid conversation paired with alcohol...Lord knows that can't be good! I hope you all like it!

*Most of you have seen this already, but I figured I'd post it again in my personal journal for posterity and what not. If you like "Alias", friend me or my Sims journal!*

As a HUGE fan of the dearly departed show, "Alias", I threw together an Alias/Sarkney photoshoot centered around a segment in season 2, episode 7, "The Counteragent".

Last photoshoot...many many moons ago, 3-4 months maybe.

X-posted at thesims2, sims2_fandoms, proclivityfans, alias_geek, so many apologies if you see this on you flist more than once.



Photoshoot over at my sims journal: "That's a wonderful attitude."

Outtakes! But if Sims butts offend you, do not click.

It's been quite some time that some of the links for the various chapter soundtracks have been expired, so I decided to get off my ass and upload them again. For my sanity and your convenience, they've been uploaded as zip files from the various chapters (but if you want the actual tracklisting, you'll have to look in my past entries, cause I'm a lazy asshole).

Author’s Note: Part 2 of chapter six. What can I say? I'm verbose.

(  Even before Sark had ever met Sydney, Irina had spoken of her daughter’s bullheadedness with such affection. She’d shake her head and laugh, recalling how Sydney’s willfulness was so transparently like her own. He found it strange that a trait that was so prevalent and, at times, frightening in Irina was decent and admirable in Sydney. )

Author’s Note: Wow, over two months without an update…I am the suck, I apologize. I’m actually going through some life changes at the moment…quitting my job and going to grad school, moving out of my parents’ house and moving in with the boyfriend. But it’s no excuse for the lateness! So now I present you with 20 pages of Sarkney banter complete with improbable but sexy situations! This chapter features some familiar faces that I was very excited to incorporate into the story. It also showcases my love affair with adverbs…anything that ends in “-ly” just sounds sexy. Be sure to check out the soundtrack this time around…it’s a special edition featuring all cover songs…its exciting stuff.
Apology: So, I definitely butchered the dancing terms…if anyone out there knows if I used them correctly or not and wants to correct me, please do. Same thing goes with the sentence of Portuguese I literally wrote out and then stuck it in alta-vista babel fish translator.
