Writer's Choice - I See A Full Moon Rising

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

The title is definitely a tongue in cheek reference, which is in itself ... well, you'll see.  It was written for a PicFic and you can find it...
I See A Full Moon Rising

WRITER'S CHOICE!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow is the super moon, a harvest moon being 14% larger than usual,
 on top of that there'll be a total lunar eclipse.
The last time this happened was 30 years ago!
Something people won't witness again until 2033.

So in keeping with that let's have a theme for today's Writer's Choice!
Post links to stories involving the moon, if you've witten them, or post links to ones written by your favorite author.
 Exciting, romantic, haunting...it's your choice
as long as it's gen here on section7mfu.
Het, Romantic or AU are posted in mfu_map_room
You can post pre-slash and slash links over in uncle_du_jour

If you don't have any stories involving the moon, or can't find any to rec,
just post a link to which ever story you want.

REMEMBER, IT'S ALL GOOD!

Illya closed his eyes, trying to will himself to sleep but his mind was refusing to cooperate. The image of the boy running out in front of Cossack Sun had stuck with him;  the look of terror in the child’s eyes was something he couldn’t shake.

He tossed and turned until finally drifting off, but it wasn’t a restful sleep as his old nightmares came back to haunt him yet again. The image of the terrified boy frozen in fear before he ran off had no doubt triggered them.

WRITER'S CHOICE! ~ "Blood Moon" by mrua7

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

In keeping with the spectacular supermoon that will also be a Blood Moon tomorrow, what better story to rec for me than this one?

Summary:
Drugs have nearly destroyed the world. Each subsequent and highly addictive drug that hits the street is named after the four horseman of the apocolypse; their appearance coincides with the of each the blood moons and perhaps signals the end of the world.  Will Illya and Napoleon survive long enough to find out who is behind this fiendish plot that will perhaps truly bring an end to  humankind and the world?

It's sort of a futuristic fic, but not, though it definitely ventures into the world of the fantastic.  Hope you like it. Comments are appreciated.

"Claire de Lune- the moonlight" by mrua7 for WRITER'S CHOICE!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Once of my favorite stories posted for a PicFic several years ago here on Section VII. I couldn't find the link so here it is in full.  Enjoy!

It was a hot, sultry night. Too hot to sleep in his stuffy little apartment. The windows wide open did little good, as there was no breeze, just humid air hanging over him like a clinging wet blanket. He’d taken several cold showers, but the comfort they brought him was short lived.

He walked out into the night as he’d done so many times before during this heat wave, seeking solace in the streets, finding a bar that had air conditioning and hopefully some good music.  Once or twice he met a woman and had gone home with her, or to an air conditioned hotel.

Tonight he wanted none of that, as he yearned for a peace the concrete  city did not offer, he wanted to escape the noise and the ever present lights, there was only one place he could find that nearby...Central Park

Writer's Choice: The Moon and Memories

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

Why I like it: In my head, Napoleon comes from an affluent background, so why did his life head in the direction it did? I think it was in response to the outcome of his marriage. While on a mission, the moon causes him to remember and want to share. I envision this as happening in the fourth or fifth year of their partnership.

"The Fortune Cookie Affair"~ chapter 12

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Solo sat at the conference table, opposite Alexander Waverly.

“None of this makes sense sir. Why would THRUSH put that particular slip of paper somewhere in those boxes of fortune cookies, yet they were searching through them?”

“What are you proposing Mr. Solo?”

“Maybe it wasn’t them, or Ecks...my mind is going back to Chang’s and the waiter who started all this by slipping us the fortune cookie with the address. Could it be he was the one leading us on this chase all along? Perhaps far Eastern powers testing the waters to see what we’d do?”

“THRUSH as well? Interesting premise.” Waverly sucked on the mouthpiece of his pipe.” I suggest we bring that young man…”

“Jie, sir.”

“Find this fellow Jie and bring him in for questioning. Kuryakin is well enough, so I want you, Dancer and Slate to go back to where this all started. Rather convenient for you to have been there for this whole debacle to begin, what?”

“Well it is our favorite restaurant.”

“Therein lies part of the problem.You know better than to be predictable in your off hours. Perhaps Jie was waiting for you. Now bring him here, and quickly. Dismissed.”
