Short Affair PROMPTS for January 22nd

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

It's Monday once again, and that mean it's Short Affair Day. For anyone who may not know, the challenge is for you to write a story with between 300 and 1000 words. You pick one of the prompt words, combine it with the colour prompt, and away you go.

The prompts and rules, for Short Affair stories due on January 22nd, can all be found down below the cut. For stories due today, simply follow this link for the prompts.

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.

Paris in May

The City of Light, where Illya once lived and loved. Has Thrush started a revolution?

On the Fiftieth Anniversary of the last episode 15 January 2018.
A prequel to my All in Honour series

Paris in May

The news of what was happening in Paris was alarming. Illya was deeply troubled: his favourite city; where he had felt at home; where he had been among people of his own kind – people who welcomed him and liked, even loved, him.

“It seems to be groups on the Left trying to overthrow De Gaulle,” said Napoleon, reading his own newspaper. “I see the students want to be allowed to sleep together, too,” he grinned.

“Napoleon!” Illya was impatient. “Even if that’s true, it’s an irrelevance. They also say their courses are out of date. They’re idealistic; they want reform – to break free of the old authoritarianism.” He looked at his partner, “But if the workers join them and it becomes a mass revolt, that is more worrying.”

France had been turning on itself since February, risking revolution or civil war. And now Paris was gearing itself up for further trouble. Mr Waverly, getting the latest news, foresaw opportunities for Thrush and called his top agents into his office.

“Gentlemen, I want you to go to Paris and monitor the situation. Social unrest is always a chance for Thrush to manipulate events to its own benefit.”

my first short affair!  first version was lacking so if you read that on fanfiction.net sometime last week, you might want to read v 2.0 - improved somewhat, or at least not as embarrassing to me.
