Words of Encouragement

The Breach of Promise Affair - Ch. 5

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

Faustina Pemberley rubbed absently at her tingling fingers. Her whole body tingled. To feel triumphant was foolish, unprofessional, and probably premature. Another successful honeypot was unlikely to garner attention or accolades. This time, however, her success was shared by one of UNCLE’s top agents. The report of this Affair would cross Waverly’s desk. He would read that she was making good, even if it was just as a femme fatale. She owed him that.

‘The Northern Dvina flowing beneath its blanket of ice.’ The phrase resurfaced in her mind, and a torrent of emotion overflowed her carefully erected embankments. Had it really been only hours since she had heard those words? He could not know what they had done to her. Her passions were in full bloom, her thoughts of him running tender and sensual and as red as the blood in her veins. Other words returned, this time from her grandmother. “Beware our hot blood, dushenka. Remember, all our novels end in catastrophe.”

Short Affair PROMPTS for April 15th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

As it is 'All About April' this month, how about a few April Dancer-centric Short Affairs? You don't have to, of course. Just go where the prompts take you.

You'll find the prompts for April 8th down below the cut. For stories due today, simply follow this link.

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.

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.

A happy ending

Short affair challenge, 8 April. Prompts: trip, green

Divided even by their preferred reading material, the partnership of an optimist and a pessimist shouldn't work.
