"The Vatican Affair"- a non-challenge story

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your patience on this one. There was a lot of interest when I posted a teaser of it for a PicFic last year and it's taken me a while to research and finish up this story.

Summary:
Napoleon and Illya are sent to Rome to stop THRUSH interference in one of the Catholic church's most sacred rituals; the election of a new Pope.

Re: A Little Drabble Do Ya (Reposted)

For a period of time, anamaryarmygram and I engaged in an ongoing prompt exchange where every week we each formulated a prompt for the other to write (with about five days notice) a drabble based on. She has moved on to bigger and better things, but if anyone else would be interested in such an arrangement (or one at less frequent intervals - maybe biweekly or monthly), please let me know - I should be available at least through mid-August. I thought it was a great discipline that really stretched my creative wings.

Just to give you an idea, here are some of the prompts we exchanged:

• Someone else winds up in Mrs. Waverly's apron.


• Write a hurt/comfort with no dialogue or em dashes.


• For once, Illya is reluctant to do paperwork.


• One guy takes on the soup while the other handles the nuts.


• Write a piece based on, sequelling, or inspired by another author's work.


• Mr. Waverly is the only character.


• An Admiral English (or an admiral, English) is involved.


• Use the AO3 tag "Illya's Souffle."


• One of the guys must make a friend or idol decision.
