Today's prompt is brought to you by the letter:

"Taking Aim" for the Short Affair Challenge June 11, 2018

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Challenge: The Short Affair

-Prompt Word 1 - Block

-Prompt Word 2 – Expire

-Prompt Colour – Crimson

Author: mrua7

Title: “Taking Aim”

Word count: approximately 550

Every year an agent’s licence to kill, though Waverly didn’t like calling it that, would expire. All gun carrying personnel were required to visit the shooting range and be recertified before the expiration date.

Not everyone was recertified at the same time, as that would result in a backlog of immense proportions at the range.

Agents, when they joined the Command would have that marked as their anniversary date and their certification to carry as well. Whether you were Security, Section II, Section III or armed staff, you had to have it done.

Short Affair PROMPTS for June 18th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

I had an early appointment this morning, so almost forgot to post the prompt for next week.

Don't forget, you can now chose to use one of the prompt words, or to use both in your story (not forgetting the colour element), remembering to state which combination of prompts you are using.

The prompts and rules, for Short Affair stories due on June 18th, 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.

I'm playing a little bit of catch up, so here are chapters E and F on AO3.

ABC Affair II. G - Genoa: a judicious choice

[hypatia-66.livejournal.com]

Illya was following his nose. There was a wonderful aroma coming from somewhere nearby and he was determined to find its source. Napoleon could smell it too and also followed Illya’s nose.

“What do you think it is?” he said.

“I don’t care; I just like the smell – I expect it’s pesto. That’s what Genoa is famous for.”

It turned out to emanate from a small restaurant in a courtyard next to a narrow lane which linked the two main thoroughfares. Genoa being a busy port, the lane was full of prostitutes whom they skirted carefully, Illya with indifference, Napoleon with a critical eye.

“I shouldn’t try their wares, Napoleon,” Illya said drily, “you must know where they’ve been.”

“Partner, you wound me. I’m keeping my renowned judicious discrimination in practice.”

“No judicious discrimination is necessary. Try a better subject to practise on – like food,” Illya said austerely.

The restaurant fulfilled all expectations and more. There was certainly pesto genovese; there was also torta Pasqualina, made with artichokes; and there was a choice of delectable fish, caught that day. Illya’s happiness was complete.

There was also a pretty girl serving. Napoleon, applying the discrimination on which he prided himself, thought he might achieve a certain happiness later, too, though possibly not the complete kind. This was Italy and she was a nice girl.
