The only reason Kyra is not joining Alex in needs literally so much therapy is because she didn't have to see her parents get killed. She's definitely still very fucked up though <3
Hello hello! It's this time of the year again... Do you want more Alex Rider fanworks? Do you want to support good causes? Then wouldn't it be cool to get both by getting involved in the @fandomtrumpshate auction?
If there is a fic you wish you could ask someone else to write, this is your chance to do so and raise money for progressive causes along the way. Fan labor is also welcome if you're more of a Brit-picker than a fic writer, and it is also possible to offer fanart!
Last year I had a choice between several prompts, all interesting and I really like the fic I wrote. It was a good experience overall and I might do it again with the lowest word count requirements for the Alex Rider fandom ;)
Alex Rider is a good show because the core trio is so evenly balanced Alex can DO the stuff and Kyra can THINK and HACK the stuff and Tom holds EVERY OUNCE OF COMMON SENSE
Tom Harris. He went from being the stereotypical best friend character to the glue. His parents probably don't know where he is most of the time, and they don't seem to care, he idolizes his big brother in the way only a boy raised by his brother could. He's willing to give up spending time with his idol to keep his best friend safe. He's fully aware that his friends could do this without him, but as long as he's alive he makes sure they never have to. He hates museums and Spiderman, and he's bad at cool spy tricks like hopping over walls or hacking but he can keep a level head hundreds of miles from home when a ship with his best friend aboard explodes. His first instinct is to get them to safety, regardless of how much he wants to stay. He's strong enough to drag Kyra out of harm's way while she's falling to pieces. He is eternally optimistic, he doesn't give up hope that Alex is alive, and he refuses to leave him, even in a lot of emotional turmoil and physical danger. He comes up with solutions quickly, and he knows how to tie a bowtie. He eats cereal straight out of the box. He records everything because he wants to make films. He records everything to make sure that there's evidence to protect Alex this time. he has microbangs. He's Alex and Kyra's number-one hype man. He calls his best friend's guardian more than he calls his parents, he doesn't believe anyone is ever broken beyond repair. He would dress up as a pizza man and bike for miles just to hug his best friend and make a poor analogy about anchovies.
