The Short Affair is taking a week off

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

With next Monday being Christmas Day, I'm not going to post any prompts this week for that day. If you do want to post a Short Affair on December 25th, feel free to look back over previous prompts for inspiration.

I will schedule prompts for stories, due on January 1st, to post on Christmas day, but I doubt I will be online much myself that day.

The prompts for stories due today can be found by following this link.

Have fun.

Put to the Test (Short Affair challenge 18 December 2017. Prompts: short, pink)

Short Affair challenge 18 December (Short. Pink)



Put to the test

Unlike his partner, it wasn’t in Illya to charm anyone into doing something they didn’t want to do, and he couldn’t flirt to save his life. He had all the other essential attributes of a top UNCLE agent; more than anyone else, in fact, and if anyone said, “You’re good at… or wow, you can …” he would often reply, “Of course.” There was no denying it, this sounded arrogant and was very annoying. In fact, it wasn’t arrogance (though it was annoying), he was merely agreeing because it was true. He had no false modesty, and likewise no shame when it came to things he couldn’t do. Apart from that, he was self-effacing, as properly befits a spy, and he had no nerves to speak of.

Napoleon, on the other hand, was anything but self-effacing, had considerable nerve, particularly with women; and he had enormous personal charm. People respected, even admired, Illya, but both respected and liked Napoleon – a state of affairs which suited them both, and, because they didn’t generally feel the need to compete, also made them an effective partnership.

Naturally these attributes were put to the test at different times, often to different effect.
