something queer going on

Title: A Profession of Lies
Fandom: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011 film)
Characters: Peter Guillam, Jim Prideaux
Rating: Teen
Warnings: (skip) Mention of suicidal thoughts, period-appropriate homophobic language.
Word count: 2726
Summary: Jim wants an end to lies; Peter's not so sure.
Notes: This story is definitely movieverse, but I've imported the odd bit of book canon that seemed to fit. Although this story is complete in itself, there may eventually be a sequel. Many thanks to halotolerant for an awesome beta and Britpick.
