Writer's Choice - The Four Affair

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

This is one I'd forgotten about, but it looks interesting so I'm posting the link and hoping someone enjoys this little episode with all four of our agents on board.  Illya and April need to rescue their partners, and that's all I'm saying.

Writers Choice - "Marion Raven Gets a Pair Affair" by Orockthro

[orockthro.livejournal.com]

I think this is my first time posting to this comm? Feels a bit of a narcassistic start. Oh well!
This fic was written for a prompt by laurose8 for the Down the Chimney Affair challenge. The whole time I was writing it, I fought with it. It wasn't serious or deep or full of meaning, and that frustrated me. I kept writing sentences that were clever (at least that was the idea...) and light and snarky, and nothing like Lipstick and Vodka which had become my sort-of fic writing yardstick. Now, though, I'm so glad I didn't try to bludgeon it into being something it wasn't. It's one of my favorite fics. :)

Prompt:
For laurose8, who wished for an AU where Marion Raven, not Illya, was the UNCLE agent.

Summary:

“He’s some diplomat’s kid, that’s what I heard. Has a heart condition. Should be a cakewalk - just sit on him until the summit is over, alright? And try not to screw it up.”

He’s roughly her height, roughly her coloring, all skinny limbs and rebellious floppy hair. If Marion were a smidge less vain she might call him roughly as handsome as herself as well. As it stands, she contents herself with admitting that his photograph does him very little justice, and the live thing is indeed quite a picture.

"Marion Raven," she introduces herself. "UNCLE, New York."

(Marion Raven, UNCLE agent, is tasked with protecting one Illya Kuryakin. Nothing is as it seems, however, and with the help of a real estate agent named Napoleon Solo, things shift irreversibly away from normal. )

Writer's Choince: "The Great Pretender, Mr. Lebowski" by mrua7

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

This was posted on LJ maybe a year ago or more.  Introspective I suppose and fitting my mood regarding my friend's passing.

Rather than a link, I'm reposting the fic. Your comments are most welcome as always...

Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin paused, looking down at the casket that contained the body of their friend and fellow Section II agent,  Andy Lebowski.

He’d been touted as the ‘other’ Kuryakin though he was with UNCLE before the Russian arrived. Like Illya, he was a master of disguise, always pretending to be who he was not and fluent in many languages enough to rival the number two agent.. He approached every assignment with focus and zeal in his heart.

Spoke to Linda this morning and she sounds like she's pretty good spririts.  They had her up sitting in a chair.  She's waiting to find out when she'll be transferred to rehab, but once there she doesn't expect it'll be long before she's finally home.

She says thank you so much for all of the good vibes, thoughts and wishes!

Writer's Choice - Rocks in Hard Places

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

I wrote this for the 'What's my Line' challenge way back in July (I know that isn't long, but I haven't quite reached my 1 year anniversary yet).

The reason I like this story is, Illya is one of the good guys, and that sometimes means having to be a bad guy.

Please take note of the warning at the top of story. The link takes you to ff.net
