Disclaimer: The New Avengers are copyrighted, but not by me. I think Canal+ or Mark One Productions owns the rights at the moment. Which means, of course, that this is fanfic – me playing in someone else's sandbox. Even moreso, anything in dark blue is a scene taken straight from the screen, dialogue and all, that either didn't hit the novelizations, or that didn't hit them in a way that satisfied my sense of the character arcs that I'm exploring.

As a rule
*** means I'm still adding onto a piece or scene and
### means I'm satisfied with that bit for now.

Summary: For them as hasn't seen it lately: What's Midas? Steed and the others aren't sure, but when they find out that it's worth three quarters of a million in gold, they certainly want to find out.
Scenes
Epilogue
Alternate versions
Ficbits and Dialogue notes
"Purdey… We wanted him alive."
"Difficult decision. Him or you."
"Gambit… Gambit! What's wrong?"
"It wasn't that difficult, was it?"
Thinking Out Loud
This is probably still fairly early on in terms of Gambit and Purdey working together, but they've already reached the point where she'll stuff a piece of orange into his mouth (and he'll take it, regardless of distractions) and go off on tangents merrily assuming that he'll follow along.
In My Not So Humble Opinion
There's a lot of fun stuff in this episode – but the chase scene is the standout. The casual discussion of old movies, the conversation at cross purposes, the orange… Oh, yes, and it only gets better when they get out of the car. This is one of the occasions when Purdey saves Gambit's neck, and I only wish it had happened more often to balance out all the occasions when she needs rescuing. Come to think of it, she needs rescuing in this one, too…
But it's still fun.
