LIFECYCLE: Companionship -- REMINDER
Mar. 15th, 2017 10:59 am
Just a reminder that our first LIFECYCLE of the year, that encompassing COMPANIONSHIP, opens for posting here on
Guidelines for the LIFECYCLE: COMPANIONSHIP seasonal challenge can be found here.
In the words of Amelia Earhart: The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.
So since the guys have seen more than most and are also definitely doers, seems they would have a well-developed appreciation for companionship in all its forms, no?

A little late... but better late than never. Have been under the weather, and dealing with our weather. Not exactly conducive to creative writing or the mood to read.

He’d been wounded while trying to escape when he and Kuryakin were on a courier run. Though it was a through and through in his left bicep, he’d bled quite a bit before Illya was finally able staunched the bleeding.

I've been hacking and coughing for a few days now, missed two days of work and slept through numerous TV shows. During this time I have written nothing more than a few feeble emails, so my MFU storytelling has gone astray yet again.
Someone was nice enough to give a kudos on this story over on AO3, and it made me think of the lovely video posted yesterday in the canteen. It is an homage to our spies, with a nice nod to Mr. Vaughn at the end.
So, this story sort of lined up with that sentiment and I thought I would rec it here for any who are interested.
Stay well, stay warm.

Another Day (Live and Not Die) on AO3
“Good morning, Sal! What’s going on at the corner?”
“Morning, Napoleon, Illya. A dead woman was found behind a steering wheel by a passerby an hour ago.”
“What!” Illya exclaimed. “Do the police know what happened?”
“Yes, sadly it was a suicide. She left a note.”
The partners entered Reception, received their badges and then went to the Commissary for coffee.
“I can’t imagine feeling so alone that I would end my life.”
“I agree. Napoleon, you would tell me if you felt isolated and in pain?”
“I would.”
“I also. It is good to have a friend.”
“It is.”

“It is.”
Illya’s index finger twitched slightly as it hovered over the trigger of his rifle. Scanning the area, he was vigilant for any sign of danger.
Napoleon’s contact had been extremely adamant about meeting alone, which had instantly put Illya on alert. As a precaution, and without Solo’s knowledge, he followed discreetly and kept his distance. He needn’t have worried, as the hand-off went without any issue.
Two hours later, Illya was back in the office he shared with his partner, prepping for an upcoming assignment. A while later, Napoleon entered and greeted the Russian.
“Did the hand-off go well?” Illya asked.
“No problem,” Napoleon replied. “My contact was a little worried about being followed, but nothing came of it.”
“Occupational Hazard I suppose.”
Napoleon studied the expression on Illya’s face, but there was nothing there other than mild interest.
“Too true,” he replied. “By the way, you need to work on your tailing techniques. I knew you were following me almost immediately.”
Solo was impressed by Illya’s lack of reaction. The man merely shrugged.
“I will not apologise,” he stated.
“I wouldn’t expect you too, Tovarisch,” Napoleon responded, with a laugh. “I’m just glad you’re there to watch my back.”
