Getting To Know You...

How well do these two really know each other?  Or, to put it more accurately, how well do we know them?  They do what we tell them to do when we write, but are we getting it ... right?

Illya's love of vodka ---and the authentic good stuff, not the cheap imitation available in America at the time] is another concept repeated throughout fandom

Solo's preference for Scotch comes from me. Yes, truly. Based on my dad. Some others picked it up and now it appears in fanfic.

To be fair, I didn't know your fanfic showed Napoleon as preferring scotch when I started writing MFU fanfic. My own choice of scotch for him came from my own preference for it. It certainly suits him. :-)

Just sayin' - can't speak for other fanfic writers.

These days I tend to give him bourbon. It could be the regional influence. Mine, that is.

I think sometimes it is - it's either personal preference or the local "celebrity" of a drink, or even, I think, the idea we have in our heads that Napoleon is selective or high maintenance (which I think he is when he can be, though clearly as a spy he has to be OK with roughing it).

I consider single malt to be suitable for such a man, so that's why I chose it. That it's my own favorite played a role, but it's also that it's generally considered an upscale, selective kind of drink.

I mean, I don't think many fanfic writers would say "Sure, Napoleon drinks two buck chuck." He just doesn't come across that way.

Creative minds think alike :)

On this one I kept seeing the picture of the two of them in Waverly's office drinking martinis. So, taking that as a cue, I say he doesn't always drink vodka.

And we know how Solo takes his martini because he gives instructions to Mara after he takes Capsule B.
