Summary
Ethan Hunt has had to make many choices throughout his life: he made the choice to join the IMF, he made the choice to become a ghost, he made the choice to love and leave his wife behind, and he made the choice to devote his life to saving the world.
He made the choice to fall in love again, and he made the choice to buy a ring. Now he has to make a choice about when to give it to Benji.
But the world rarely makes Ethan's choices easy for him, and when a new threat seems to want to take it all away, Ethan's going to have to make the hardest choice of his life: choosing to be happy.
This is how it goes.

Summary
Ethan glares at the security cam, knowing damn well who’s looking at him through the monitor. Benji Dunn.
The awkward, skilled technician that guided him throughout Shanghai and helped him save Julia. To be honest, lately Ethan’s become pretty attached to Benji, and finds him kind of sweet, although he wouldn’t admit this to anyone, obviously. Ethan’s been trained to be ultra-informed on everyone and everything. However, he doesn’t know enough about Benji. And that bothers him. A lot. He would never let anyone lay a finger on Benji, even though he doesn’t know his favorite color or what he was like in high school. He wants to get to know him so badly. But he knows that it would distract from the mission. So he just stays quiet.

Summary
Ethan’s shivering again.
He knows it’s ridiculous. Knows he shouldn’t be, because it’s a balmy seventy degrees in London, a rare sunny day too at that. And yet he’s still wrapped up in one of Benji’s too-big sweatshirts and jeans and somehow shivering despite it all.
He’s trying to come to terms with… all of it, with the vault and the Entity and everything before and after. The drive is locked in a secure location where nobody would have even a chance of reaching it, and Luther’s funeral was two months ago, but the mission still hangs over him. Especially in times like these.
He shivers again, a little involuntary jerk of his hands, his shoulders. He’s unsure how much of it is from his electrocution in the coffin in this very city and how much of it’s from his several plunges into the Arctic Ocean, and he’s not sure if he wants to find out.
He manages, anyway. It’s not a big deal to just throw an extra jacket on, to cozy up on the couch with a blanket or two and wait for the bone-deep numbness to pass. He’s faced far worse things than just the cold.

Summary
“Ever since I’ve got in that box, it’s like—“ a pause, his throat closing, voice wavering. But Benji’s there, a steadying presence by his side, and Ethan knows that it’s too late to stop now.
“It’s like the world isn’t real. I keep thinking that I’m still in there, in the coffin, and this is all just noise, just it trying to get in my head. And I know that it’s not true. I know that we’re real. But I keep having to check, and I hate it, but I can’t seem to stop.”
“Hey. Look at me, Ethan.” An echo of those same words on the plane, before South Africa, before the Doomsday Bunker and everything after. He looks at him, because he always will, because Benji could tell him to jump off a cliff and he’d do it. And he’s not looking at Ethan like he’s crazy, he’s not looking at him with pity or fear, just some sort of kindness, some sort of affection. Real.

Summary
“Our lives are the sum of our choices. And we cannot escape the shadows of our past.“
What I would have like to see once Benji passed out instead of the skip to the end of the movie. My take on how Grace and the team got Benji out and recovered. Plus I’m obsessed with Benji Dunn! No regrets!
Set at the End of Mission Impossible the Final Reckoning.

Summary
Ethan dreams of her now. Of everyone.
He dreams of Jules, smiling as she agrees to live in a lie for him. He dreams of Benji, his eyes filled with tears as he's strapped to a bomb in London, reading out the words of the psychopath who sits safely in his office miles away. And he dreams of Ilsa, lying dead in London, after Janik Vinter gunned her from behind. He dreams of her in Morocco, her green eyes staring into him after Benji proclaims Ethan is to hold his breath for three minutes. And he dreams again of her sprawled on the streets of London, of him just about to reach her when he jolts awake, and he lets himself feel nothing at all....
Ilsa Faust dies on the streets of London, only a couple minutes before the IMF captures Solomon Lane. Supposedly. Ethan doesn't get to see her body before MI 6 whisks her away, refusing to answer questions.
Knowing his luck, it only makes sense that she's now standing in front of him, pointing a gun at his car, trying to kill him.
But here she is, and for the better or for the worse, Ethan Hunt stops at absolutely nothing to protect and rescue his friends. -

Summary
Benji surprisingly found himself working alongside Ethan more after the Cobalt Crisis. Along with Brandt and Luther, sure. (Although it did take some time for him to get used to the latter. Benji was half-sure the beta was this close to shooting him during their first official mission in Romania due to him being so obviously starstruck which–Sue him, it's hard to be normal when you're working with The Phineas Phreak himself, okay?)
But Ethan? He wasn't complaining but it really came as a surprise how the guy seemed almost unavoidable post-Cobalt. It's not like they were joined at the hip, not necessarily. Less nine-times-out-of-ten, but six-times-out-of-ten was still a valid and above average statistic to be continuously working with one Ethan Hunt.
Or awkward unspoken courtship rituals, rogue agents and me trying desperately to do some worldbuilding.
