Anybody find the fountain

Do you think Thrush has lost their mind on this one? Napoleon asked.

If you call traipsing through St. Augustine, looking for the fountain of youth...then yes. It is mere myth, urban legend.” Illya said with disdain.

“Believable enough for the Old Man to sent us after them, tovarisch.

Have a system of aesthetics—


Napoleon walked into his partners spartan apartment. In all these years
Illya had yet to put up curtains, simply using the yellowing shades to keep his   privacy intact.

“How can you live like this?”

“I do not need much,”” He answered, misting the pale orchid on his kitchen  window sill.

Thank you. Those are both really good ficlets.

The first one - why on earth didn't Thrush ever do that? That would have made such a perfect episode. Indeed, film. (Insert hint about more of this affair here.)

And the second one - so Illya! 'Pale orchid' is exactly the right flower, too.

edit: on my old dial up I'd read your post - both times with pleasure - and commented before the picture downloaded. It's a beautiful picture, and thank you for that, too.

Thanks and glad you liked them. I liked the suggestion for a story from the first and I think I have some things already written or have wandering my head as ideas that I could use for it. You now have gotten my squeaky head wheels turning ...yay!

Glad you liked the picture too! :D

Encouraging gestures from this direction. Besides the good plot, I personally love fics set in the South. Glennagirl's just written Sweet and Southern, to remind us Illya will probably like a Southern setting, too.

Yes Glenna manages the South quite well doesn't she. I have ties to Florida where the fountain of youth (among a few places) was theorized as it's possible location. Again, the wheels are turing for that story. Did you ever catch the Hugh Jackman film called "The Fountain?" Not a commercial success, but it's considered an excellent film. I found it a bit out there myself.

Thanks for the rec. I'll read the synopsis, anyway. Good films are very hard to find in Nelson. (Especially on television.)

love the image of him and a orchid. Such humanity

[jkkitty.livejournal.com]

love the image of the orchid, so delicate and soft.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it does create a rather nice image.

I can picture the blond watering his orchid... lovely image, and very believable.

Thanks, yes it is a very believable image...just a bit of color and beauty in his sparely appointed apartment.
