What If?

Here we are at our ninth installment of What If?, and some of the previous eight prompts have provided stories that are quite memorable.  I think we'll do something to help everyone out who wanted to write but never quite made it.
Choose any of the previous prompts and write your story, or stories.  We'll take the rest of the month to post them, and if you've written something for every prompt, here's the latest one that can be added to the list.
What if The Man from UNCLE and its characters were set in 1880? Pinkertons move over, it's time for some real action.


Here are the previous prompts:
Angelique is a Double Agent
Illya in Section VII
Clara
Pia
L.A.
Brains and Charm
CEA Kuryakin

Last week's prompt: (from The Terbuf Affair)

The prompt: What if Clara had decided to ditch her husband

Title: The Deadly Admirer Affair, Act VI: Don't Give Up
Rating: PG13
Word count: ~2100
Author: Rose of Pollux

Notes: Mandy’s comment about the field agents’ personnel files having false information in the event of THRUSH stealing them is my way of explaining the absolutely unbelievable heights on THRUSH’s info cards on Napoleon and Illya in “The THRUSH Roulette Affair.” And the case about the THRUSH submersible that Napoleon reminisces about is from a fic I haven’t yet written…

If you prefer reading there, cross-posted to ff.net and AO3.

Not Meant to Be - What If? - March 2nd

The prompt: What if Clara had decided to ditch her husband
and go back to New York with Napoleon? (The Terbuf Affair)


Illya pulled up outside Napoleon’s building and he bid his partner goodnight. They had been on a week-long assignment in Spain and both had been keen to get home to their own beds. Solo, however, didn’t make a move to get out of the car. He just sat in silence, staring up at his apartment, where he could see there was light on.

“What is wrong, my friend?” Illya asked, with concern.
