Summary
Benji’s next mission is a dream come true: take Ethan on a date to a nice restaurant in order to gain information on their most secretive VIP customers.
He’s only been hoping to take Ethan out for years now. Surely there won’t be any conflicts of interest.

Summary
“I am not dressing as a rodeo clown, Ethan,” Benji hissed as Ethan pushed past him on his way out of the briefing room. If you could call it that—it was the wheelchair-accessible stall in the women’s changing room of the Dillard’s they’d broken into after hours. It was also now filled with smoke since their iPod had just self-destructed. “Seriously, Ethan—a rodeo clown? This is an insult I can’t ignore.”
OR: Benji, stop clowning around and catch the bad guy already!

Summary
Ethan has an odd obsession with the Olympics, but Benji doesn’t bother questioning why he knows the ins and outs of scoring women’s gymnastics. He roots for Great Britain just to be contrary.
“I can’t betray my mother country!” he protests when Ethan gets all pouty with him.
“You weren’t even born in Britain,” Ethan accuses which, while true, is so not the point.
OR: Ethan and Benji run away to become hermits.

Summary
When Ethan sighs and pulls him up out of his seat to head into IMF headquarters, the man attempts to trip him. Fortunately, he’s wearing combat boots so chunky that Ethan sees them coming.
“Very funny,” Ethan says dryly.
“Worth a shot,” the man grins cheekily.
A story told in black and white—until it’s not.

Summary
Ethan was just too good at putting people at ease. It was what made his enemies trust him and his allies go along with his batshit ideas. Everything about him, from his smile to his hair to his choice of words, made most anyone who met him feel as though they could put their life in his hands. Benji had felt it the first time they’d met, when Ethan had seemingly materialized out of thin air to request information from some Estonian database, and he felt it even now that they were sitting across from each other at a fancy Italian restaurant at their supposed engagement dinner.
“If I’m being completely honest,” Benji said, “I prefer Olive Garden.”
OR: Benji and Ethan should not be let out in public if this is what they're going to do every time.

Summary
Ethan cuts him off. That fucking stare is back. “I need you to be my partner, Benji. A relationship partner. It’s the only way this mission works.”
Aw, what.
Benji pines, Ethan does that weird honesty thing, and somewhere along the line, things start to fall into place.

Summary
“Am I carrying you, or can you hop for the next half mile?” Benji wasn’t exactly sure he could carry Ethan all the way back to the car he’d left behind a defunct Taco Bell, but surely hopping would jostle his leg too much.
Apparently Ethan didn’t think so because he immediately pulled himself away from Benji to take a step on his own. Benji, quite used to dealing with Ethan’s nonsense, caught him securely when he fell.
“Nevermind,” Benji said. “You obviously can’t be trusted to not do stupid things even while incredibly injured. I don’t know why I thought differently. Your freedom of choice has been revoked.”
OR: Benji gets to perform the incredibly daring and sexy rescue for once.

Summary
You could stand to be a little more careful. It’s ridiculous that you can survive driving a car backwards off a bridge in Morocco but not a tablespoon of grated ginger.
Ethan gets injured damn near every time they go on a mission. That’s not what irks Benji. It’s what happens when they’re not on mission that gets him.
Or: Ethan injures himself. Benji patches him up.

Summary
Benji had an absolutely foolproof two-step method for figuring out if someone was wearing a mask. Granted, he’d never tried it out before, and it only worked with masks of people he knew well, but that didn't change the fact that his method was foolproof and had two steps.
One notable flaw in Benji’s method was that it did not have a step three. The truth was that Benji had no idea what to do once he figured out someone was impersonating someone he was close to.
Which led him to his current dilemma.
OR: Benji knows Ethan Dunn, inside and out.

Summary
Discovering that Ethan Hunt is attractive comes as a surprise to exactly no one—except Ethan. Benji’s just interested in seeing if that’ll come in handy.
Or: a slightly unethical study of human attraction.

Summary
Three things happened in rapid succession. First, Ethan’s head exploded with a blinding pain. He couldn’t stop the scream from wrenching itself out of his throat. The sound barely registered to Ethan.
Next, a door slammed open, the sound startling Ethan into opening his eyes. His vision was red, then blurry, and he faintly recognized the shape of a man coming towards him.
Then—his vision cleared, and the man was crouching over him, his mouth moving. He was white, blonde, a bit out of breath, and…shirtless.
OR: Ethan only has enough brain function to think Benji's hot.

Summary
“We’re all out here,” Luther says, “establishing that Benji doesn’t have temporary or permanent amnesia.”
“Yes, idiot,” Brandt snipes. “We’re all aware.”
“Shut it. I ain’t done. You know who isn’t here? Ethan. And you know the one person out of all of us who would easily believe it if Benji said he got amnesia? Ethan.”
A bet gets out of hand.

Summary
“Ethan?”
“Hey, babe,” Ethan said, wincing at the waver in his voice. He’d climbed up skyscrapers with broken arms and walked around like normal after being resuscitated on multiple occasions, but he couldn’t keep his voice steady after getting kicked in the knee. He hadn’t been able to successfully hide injuries from his partner in a long time.
Benji picked up on it immediately of course. “Ethan. Did you wound yourself again?”
Ethan stuck the phone between his ear and shoulder and began massaging his knee. “Technically, I did none of the wounding.”
OR: Ethan makes a good decision.

The trouble in proposing to your secret agent boyfriend is that it’s nearly impossible to do without him finding out about it beforehand. Ethan takes some extreme measures to make sure Benji doesn’t know, starting with flying out to New York without even leaving a note.
Benji has no clue what’s happening, and he’s almost afraid to find out.
Or: Ethan leaves. Benji doesn’t take it well, until he comes back.
