Non Challenge Fic - The Reluctant Traitor Affair Part 1

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Time for another multichapter story. And I'm going to say this is going to be around eight parts, although I admit that's a number I might need to revise quickly.


The Reluctant Traitor Affair

It was late; Illya didn't think there was anyone left in this part of headquarters except him and his fish, and if he had his way he'd already be home and asleep. He looked at the stacks of paperwork piled across his desk and groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. Oh, he was most definitely getting a headache, and the words were beginning to swim in front of his eyes.

Expense claims and mission reports needing signed off, recertification requests and vacation times needing scheduled and approved, various memos from other sections and agencies....Napoleon was on vacation for two weeks and had seemingly decided that meant that all the paperwork he'd deemed not-technically-urgent could be left for his partner and second-in-command to take care of in his absence. Illya suspected he must have stopped doing any paperwork at all at least a week before he left....although if he was of a charitable mind he might conclude that since they were in Paraguay for that week, Napoleon probably hadn't had much of a chance to do anything else. However, since he was here at a quarter to midnight, signing off a request for three new sniper rifles, being forgiving was not uppermost in his mind. He intended to have words the moment Napoleon got back, and none of them were going to be particularly repeatable. At least he knew now why his expenses from last month hadn't gone through – he'd found them buried deep in one of the very first piles he'd worked through.

Possibly mere words weren't going to be enough here.

Where's The Round Table?

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

In Mr. Waverly's office, most likely.  I have had a number of distractions lately, causing me to let Round Table slide by.  My apologies to those of you who have been regulars, we'll get back to it soon.
In the meantime, just a reminder that we have the First Meetings fiction challenge coming up as well as our regular weekly challenges.  We've welcomed some new writers/members recently; rhys_whittaker and otherhawk , and seen some new fiction from
insaneladybug. If you're new to the community and we haven't said an official 'welcome', please post a little something to let us know how you got here and allow us to make ammends.  Section VII is a busy place and sometimes we lose track, but all of you are an integral part of what makes this community continue to grow and flourish.  You're all important.
I hope your Sunday is going well and that you'll check in tomorrow for the Short_Affair stories that will be posting.
Ciao!
