So, the prompt from geckoholic is:

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. (from The Usual Suspects)

The fandom is MCU, and the theme is supposed to be hurt/comfort.

title: Mostly Harmless
summary: In the world of mercenary operatives, they don’t say it’s bad luck to encounter Maria Hill, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
characters: Maria Hill, OMC
tags: character study, moral grey areas, spies and secret agents

Um. I think I failed on the H/C point. And I suspect the theme hangs by the merest thread of connectivity. But. It's done.

Next prompt:

"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."

― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
