Worldbuilding Weekend Prompt #69 - Seductive Spies

Welcome to the next in an ongoing series of writing prompts in the Worldbuilding community !

I'm aiming to post one of these each Sunday. They aren't a replacement for the excellent daily prompts from @worldbuilding they're just an extra opportunity if you have a writing itch you want to scratch. 😀

The prompt this week is - Seductive Spies

Fiction and history are full of stories of spies using their appearance and wiles to ferret out information from marks of the opposite gender (or sometimes the same gender). The famous honeytraps of the Cold War, agents like Mata Hari and more recently Anna Chapman are all good examples, and the fictional James Bond franchise is pretty much built around the idea.

Tell me a tale from your setting where a spy uses their charm to find out hidden information ! Who are they and who are they working for ? Who is their target, and what are they trying to find out ? How do they go about connecting with their target and what methods do they use to get the information (but please try not to get too NSFW !!) ? Most important of all - are they successful, and what are the consequences both for them, their mark and their employer ?

Just to add a bit of spice to things, the two entries I most like (and are linked in comments to this post, so I can find them !) that are posted by midnight (GMT) next Saturday will each get a prize of one Hive SBI.

This link will take you to the FAQ where you can read more about Hive SBI - it's a project I thoroughly support because it gives both the donor and winner a steady trickle of passive income paid out in the form of upvotes on posts.

Guidelines

I stole these guidelines straight from @worldbuilding prompts (I hope that's okay !), I couldn't have written them any better myself....

• Prompt replies may be anything! Art, game assets, stories, worldbuilding details, fake wiki entries, maps... whatever you want to create!
• Please ensure you reply to this post with a link to your reply
• Posting in or cross-posting to the Worldbuilding community is highly encouraged
• Use the hashtag #worldbuilding
• Prompt replies can be any length.

Some other neat communities for writing that you might want to check out are:

• Freewriters
• Scholar and Scribe
• Tabletop / DND
• The Ink Well

It can be a lot of fun to mix and match our prompts with some of these other community prompts.
