We've been waiting for the next chapter in our Spring Round Robin, and it's coming up on Monday, June 3.  The first round has left us with a humdinger of a cliffhanger, so you won't want to miss the next chapter.  You can access the entire first round by clicking on the link above, or our friendly little Robin.

I've been in a bit of a writing slump lately with several long het stories still unfinished. (granted I have a lot going on right now, which doesn't help)Thank you for the jump start Glenna as today's 4th Wall Challenge got my motor running and here's the result:


The prompt:

“Illya, will you look what it says here? I can’t believe it...it says you and I are jumping from the top of the Empire State building and parachuting to the street below in order to catch the bad buy.

I think rec'ing a story is a good thing to do on a non-challenge day.  Well, that and write a Fourth Wall story or that Impromptu Challenge from a week or so ago.  Hit the tags for those items and see what's happening.
I just loaded this story onto AO3.  I think I've rec'd it. before, probably for Writer's Choice.  But it's entertaining, I laughed as I read it.  That must be a good sign, right? To laugh at your own stories.
So, here it is... just as tongue in cheek and frothy as it gets.
