Hello, and welcome to the prompts for next week's 'Short Affair' challenge. I like the words which the fates have given us this time around. If we can't get an MFU story from either of them, then there's something wrong :-)
As always, you'll find the prompts and rules beneath the cut. Also, don't forget the Map Room is available for anything Het. The link to it is down the side of the page, and remember to leave a link to your story in Section VII.
Have fun.

Happy Birthday, Jantojones!

Challenge: The Short Affair
-Prompt Word #1 - Seek
-Prompt Colour – Gold
Author: mrua7
Title: Not so lucky in love
'Seek and ye shall find,' these were words Napoleon Solo had heard before not only because of his Catholic upbringing, but in a near-death experience the previous winter. Thanks to his partner not giving up on him, in the metaphysical sense, he returned to the world of the living.*
Napoleon shivered, not at that unpleasant memory. but at how those nuns in school used to beat the word of God into him; the irony of which wasn’t lost on him.
Not that he didn’t deserve to be slapped with a ruler by Mother Bede, the terror of St. Mary’s School, especially when he was caught in the cloakroom with Mary Sue Henderson. He was only following that rule made of gold; 'do unto others', and Mary Sue definitely was a believer in the golden rule herself... though it was after this particular incident his parents decided to packe him off to a military academy.
His raging hormones were whipped into shape for sure, which it was perhaps why later in life he became such a ladies man...though his partner thought him more of a womanizer. That wasn’t true; he simply adored women, their company, their very scent. It wasn't just about the sex, though that was a good part of it. He could very easily spend the evening with a lovely lady lost only in conversation...sometimes.
Today however, Napoleon watched with eager anticipation as one beautiful woman after another strolled past him and his partner.

Word Count (approx.) – 353
Colin Robertson had made it to the age of forty. It was the golden number which retired him from Section 2 field duty, to a much safer life as a desk jockey. He was going to spend the rest of his career happily working in cryptology. At least, that was what was meant to have happened. Instead, Colin was lying in his casket in the small chapel within U.N.C.L.E. headquarters.
