Going Back - A Little Drabble Do Ya

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

This is something I've been playing with for a while.  In my history of Kuryakin his father was a musician in the Soviet Union who was caught up in the chaos that came after WWII, when the artistic community was ravaged by yet another Stalin purge.  The background story is Stille Nacht, originally posted for our Christmas PicFic a few years ago.  You can read it HERE in our Archives, or on AO3
....................................

Illya was staring at someone, transfixed by a memory.  Napoleon waited a few minutes before finally interrupting whatever was holding the Russian's attention.

"Illya, we are here to do a job you know.  What is it?"  He saw something on his partner's face that made him stop.

"That man, the one in the sunglasses and hat.  He… there is something very familiar about him."

Napoleon squinted, hoping to get a clearer image.  Nothing stood out.  Slim face, full lips… slight build… large, expressive hands.

"Illya?"

"It can't be.  They took him away.  My mother died at the hands of his accuser"  Illya was pale from the encounter with memories of his parents.

"Perhaps it is merely someone who resembles him.  How would he have gotten here?"

"The same way I did, as an agent."

"Whose?"

"Perhaps I should ask him."  Napoleon shook his head.

"Are you certain?  There must a million other men in the world who might look like you, like your… "

"Father?  You saw it the same as I did.  He looks like me, he has the same build… Napoleon, my father is alive and he's standing over there in that group of men watching a chess match."

It is going to be a longer story, I've started it but not had time to finish. I'm hoping this will spur me on to the finish line. Thanks, I'm glad it got your attention.

I hope so, all I need is time to write it.

I wanted to do a picfic but didn't get the time to write, so... never waste a good prompt. I'll get on the story, I've wanted to write this for quite a while.

Yes! A TBC at last! :D

Okay, I'm hooked. This is a marvellously intriguing teaser :-)

Reading both stories - begs for a combining and continuing of each.

I see the similarities. Can't wait to read more.

That picture just had me when I connected it to my story idea. Thanks,

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, one depends on the other. I'm going to be working on this one.

The man in the picture made it easy to segue into the story.
