Short Affair PROMPTS for 28th August

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

These prompts, which you will find below the cut, are for the last Short Affairs for August. Autumn is just around the corner, but it doesn't mean our guys get to slow down.

To join in with today's postings just follow this link for the prompts you need.

Remember, Section VII is a Gen site, but stories which are Het, Long-term Romance or AU can be posted in mfu_map_room.

Posting directly to Section VII is still fine but, if you wish, you can post your story elsewhere and provide a link. Please say where the link leads as a lot of people are unwilling to go to certain sites. Don't forget, Section VII and the Map Room are both available on Dreamwidth, for those of you who can figure it out (Just let us know if you posted there).


Have fun.

Short challenge Discover, White
Some kinds of ice are more dangerous than others



The ice is very thin

The commissary was fairly full; at this time of the morning, it provided breakfast for agents arriving early and unfed, or returning from late missions (also unfed). It was a good time, therefore, to introduce a new colleague to the male talent on offer. The older men, their home lives providing not only stability but also a more relaxed and healthy breakfast, were already at work in their offices. The talent on offer, then, was worth seeing – to set the blood racing for the day – being younger, fitter, and often very good looking.( Read more... )

Illya held his partner close until Napoleon grew calmer. Finally, wiping his eyes, Napoleon tried to smile. He almost managed it.

           “I wish I could be more like you, Illya…” He paused when Illya shook his head.

           “No, don’t wish to be like me, my friend. Don’t even try. It hurts more, and the pain lasts much longer.” He smiled slightly. “If you are ready, perhaps we should continue our journey, and you can tell me about your Millie.”

This time Napoleon managed to smile back.

           “Okay…if you first tell me about your little Dimitri.”

           “Very well . . .”

Apologies

I haven't been inspired in any way by prompts so have been unable to come up with anything for today's Short Affair. Hopefully my muse will come to my rescue before the week is out. In the mean time I'm going to rec the story from which the Short Affair was born. It's called 'The Key', and you can find it by clicking the pic.
