It's Saturday so must be time for WRITER'S AND READER'S CHOICE!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Writers, it's time to rec your own stories here (or those of your fave authors) Post links to these tales or repost them to section7mfu.

Readers, pick your favorite stories from the world of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. and post a link to them here.

Writer's and Reader's Choice gives you an opportunity to get your stories out there to be read again or for the first time, as sometimes they just get lost out there in the cyber world.

Since we're getting closer to the holiday season, why not start rec-ing stories with a holiday-ish theme. (you don't have to, you can rec stories without holiday themes too)

There's lots of fanfiction out there that maybe people haven't read at all or, for a long time.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5,

Susan began to cry.

“Now now sweetheart it’ll be all right,” her grandmother tried to comfort her.

“Stoi!” Illya barked. “Say in Russian and do not coddle her Evgeniya! Remember children do not speak, and if you must then only yes or no answers in Russian. Understand?”

“Da...Papa,” the children chimed in together.

There was a loud pounding at the door.

Falling Down for Writer's Choice

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

This was written for Down the Chimney several years ago.  The prompts were challenging, to say the least, and this is what came of them.  It has a somber tone with a resolution uniquely tuned to Mr. Solo's world view.  I've posted it here in its entirety for ease of reading.

Writer's Choice 12/3/16 - Saving Illya

[lilidelafield.livejournal.com]

I have chosen a recent story of my own. It is a standalone. It does reference events from two of my previous stories, Hello In There and Of Hearts and Bullets.                                                                      Saving Illya

Illya sat alone on a bench in Central Park, doing nothing, just watching people passing by.

Now that he was sitting and watching, he was astounded how many people walking through here were part of a couple. Two people together, arm in arm. He had never really noticed before, but those individuals walking alone were in the minority.

It had been two months since his wedding. His wife Claire had been dead now for two months. Two whole months, eight and a half weeks had passed since that fateful day that he and Claire had tied the knot only for her to be gunned down right outside the building. Two months for him to try and get back to normal. Only it seemed that nothing was normal any longer. Psychiatric had been on at him to attend his appointments, but he had refused some, made excuses for others, and those that he had had no way of avoiding, he had either sat sullen, silent and un-cooperative, or he had utilized his talent for misdirection, avoiding talking about himself at all, putting on a cheery façade. He knew, however, that Doctor Fergus was not fooled.

Non-Challenge Fic: The Camera Never Lies

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

This piece is the next installment of Illya and Faustina's rocky road to romance. The previous entries are

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
A Friend in Need
Alone

“Neither one of us is leaving until you answer my question.” Napoleon leaned back against the door.

From behind his dark-rimmed glasses, Illya’s eyes glinted icily. “And how is this any of your business?”

“I’m CEA, that’s how. Anyone else and it would be a visit to the psychologist. So either talk to me or to Dr. Tremont.”

The Written Lyrics to "25 or 6 to 4" I Posted for the Song Challenge Omitted the Second Verse!

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

These are the complete lyrics:

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Dancing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should have tried to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4
