SUMMER IS FADING AWAY, BUT OUR BRAVE MEN FROM U.N.C.L.E. WON'T!

Tired of seeing the same authors rec'd over and over.  Why not do a little recommending of your own? The WRITER'S AND READER'S CHOICE gives you, the writers and readers of MFU fanfiction, the opportunity to post your personal picks, be it your own stories or those of your favorite author.

Word of the Day

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Write a sentence or two, or more, in the comments using our word of the day.

Syzygy

[siz-i-jē] Part of speech: noun

Origin: greek, 17th century

• The arrangement of three celestial bodies in a straight line
• The metaphorical alignment of two people, ideas, or events

Examples of Syzygy in a sentence

• During an eclipse, Earth, the moon, and the sun are in perfect syzygy. 
• For the first time, I found myself and my coworkers in perfect syzygy regarding how we should proceed next.

About Syzygy

Syzygy, or a celestial alignment, between the sun and moon is responsible for tidal variations in the oceans. When the sun and moon are in a state of syzygy, their tidal forces compound on each other. This causes the ocean to both rise higher and fall lower than average. This occurrence happens twice each month.

Did you Know?

The word syzygy is used in a range of academic settings, from mathematics and medicine to psychology and zoology. In all of these disciplines, the word generally relates to the concept of two (or more) things relating or fusing together.

This story is one of a multi-part series that has an emphasis on Illya Kuryakin and April Dancer.  You can enjoy this little interlude as is, or read from the beginning of the series if you're curious about what precedes the morning after.

The Morning After

The Monkey House ... The series begins here.
