Writer's Choice - In The Beginning by Kate D.

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I love this story, and I've read it many times.  It takes us to the beginning of things, to the difficulties and finally the success of Waverly's plan to make East meet West, and like it. kate_d wrote this charming piece, and I hope you'll enjoy it for the first time, or perhaps like me, again.

Writer's Choice - Early Days Affair by Vicki Loebel

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Rec #2, but honestly, it is my very favorite... well, one of my most favorite early partnership/pre-partnership stories.  Vicki introduces us to a recurring character in her stories, Paul Matthews; the incorrible Aussie does everything in his power to make the Russian miserable.  He is a charmer though, in spite of the animosity.  See Solo and Kuryakin face off for the first time while fending for their careers.
I've rec'd this one before, but once again I offer it to you...
Early Days Affair

"A Whisper on the Wind"~ by mrua7 for Writer's Choice!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Originally posted on April 16th 2013 for a PicFic Challenge. Napoleon struggles to save Illya's life, and Kuryakin is met by the spirit of his mother, who speaks with him about going with her, or returning to his work with his partner and friend.  I like this one as it's thought provoking, with Illya being torn in making  a life or death decision for himself. It addresses both the spiritual and corporeal world of the Men from UNCLE

"A Whisper on the Wind"

           

Illya was standing beside his partner, and another agent named Peter Crowley from the London branch, sending off a volley of bullets at the men who were chasing them.  They’d made a wild chase of it through Strasbourg, a city in the northeast of France on the German border in the region of Alsace Lorraine. Now their luck had seemed to run out as the agents were trapped like rats on a bridge between the two towers of the Ponts Couverts, overlooking the Rhine, with no place to retreat and no cover to hide behind.

Had it not been for their dire circumstances, the view would have been serenely spectacular, but there was no time to even think about that.

"Welcome to America" (expanded)~ for UNCLE firsts

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

When Illya Kuryakin first arrived in New York for his new assignment he was taken to headquarters directly from the airport to the little tailor shop that would lead him to another world, a clandestine one, hidden from the everyday person out on the street.

The drive there was an eyeopening one, as he tried not to gawk at the multitude of tall buildings, the hustle and bustle as well as the neon lights. He’d not seen anything like it, except perhaps Piccadilly Circus back in London’s East End. It wasn’t quite the same, but it was the only thing he could compare to it.

As he stepped from the UNCLE care in front of Del Floria’s, he looked around, and surprised at the simplicity of the street compared to what he’d seen on the drive from the airport.

Illya walked down the short flight of stairs, and hesitated just for a second before turning the knob and opening the door. This was a major step for him, coming to New York, yet a relief to get away from the presence of Harry Beldon...

A small brass bell tinkled his arrival to an older man behind a steam press, who looked up at him with a welcoming smile.

“Just go the dressing room,” the man, whom Illya was to learn was called Del,  winked.

Occam’s Razor for Writer's Choice

[lindafishes8.livejournal.com]

Finally, I'm recommending one of my own stories. This one was my first post to Section VII and I thought it would be appropriate as we're all dreaming of tropical getaways. Well, at least I am.


All things being equal, sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one.

Occam’s Razor*



It was hard to believe that anyone could have a care in the world on a day such as this. The sky was bluer than he had ever seen it and knowing exactly why it was this particular shade of blue detracted nothing from it’s beauty.

He slowly sat up and adjusted the back of the cushioned lounge chair he’d been lying in and wiggled the sand out from between his toes.

The morning was comfortably warm and he could almost taste the salty ocean breeze. This slice of tropical paradise was for his own private use and he felt no need to share it with anyone. Well, at least not for the present.

Then he noticed her.

Why I like it:  Leona Nicole is my favorite original character.  In this story, Daddy has decided today is a perfect day for a trip to the beach.  I can't believe it is August 1st already!  The link takes you to AO3.
