“Remember that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return.”- a non-challenge story

2021-02-17T15:27:00Z

Posted by: mrua7.livejournal.com

It was Ash Wednesday and the first day of Lent, though that rarely meant anything to Napoleon Solo. He’d been raised Catholic and attended mass from time to time, and was a even friend of the Archbishop. That friendship was a bonus after "The Vatican Affair".*

Still when it came to Ash Wednesday Napoleon had rarely been around to go to church and receive ashes. This Wednesday however, he was free. Taking a trip to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, he queued up along a fair few others to receive his ashes in the shape of a cross on his forehead.

Here are the general rules of the challenge:

Your story is Due: Tuesday February 23rd

Statistical stuff: Minimum 500 words, no maximum.

Subject Matter: Write a MFU story using the photo prompt. Your fic. can be specifically about the prompt, featured or just mentioned in your story. It's meant to inspire!

Posting here should fit into the GENeral concepts of the section7mfu community, contain nothing explicit and reflects the 1960's series in style and content, and featuring our brave men from U.N.C.L.E. (of course) It's okay to use characters from the Girl from U.N.C.L.E. as well as original characters, but Napoleon and/or Illya must be part of your story!

Remember, Section VII is a GEN community.

That being said, there is a GEN-mature tag option for stories that contain more violence, torture, angst or very mild het. So if your story falls under one of these categories, please use the gen-mature tag.

Where to post:

"A Hot Date" for the Short Affair Challenge

2021-02-15T11:59:00Z

Posted by: mrua7.livejournal.com

-Prompt Word 1 - Permission

-Prompt Word 2 – Superior

-Prompt Colour – Red

Word Count: sorry it's a bit over, but this is my comeback. Better not to try to stop a runnaway train, :D

Illya Kuryakin wasn’t one for participating in what he called ‘made up holidays.’

This Valentine’s Day was nothing but for the benefit of greeting card companies, chocolatiers and florists....not to mention the restaurants that took advantage of this manufactured so-called romantic day. It was bourgeois nonsense.

That was what he believed until he met an enticing woman at one of the jazz clubs he frequented in his free time.

"The Once Upon a Time Affair- Voronin" for the Writer's and Reader's Choice.

2021-02-06T15:47:00Z

Posted by: mrua7.livejournal.com

This was written for The Once Upon A Time Affair" writing challenge 2019 here on Section VII

Summary: Napoleon and Illya are drawn into the Cold War when they must help a Soviet Scientist defect from Russia. Complications arise, as always putting Kuryakin in a tenuous situation as he must travel to East Berlin to complete the next part of the assignment.

The story for this challenge must begin with a given prompt.

The prompt:

To the casual observer it could easily seem as though Napoleon Solo was quite a lackadaisical man. His relaxed posture, and apparent disinterest in what was being said, belied the sharp senses which were taking in everything.

"The lost flight" by mrua7 for The Writer's and Reader's Choice!

2021-01-09T11:55:00Z

Posted by: mrua7.livejournal.com

Even though the holidays are past, I recently revisited this story and forgot how much I enjoyed writing it. The prompt is is still one of my favorites.

Summary: Illya is accompanying Mrs. Waverly and their two grandchildren to Finland for the holidays as Mr. Waverly is stuck there while involved in UNCLE negotiations with potential member countries. Needless to say, the flight doesn't make it to its destination...

"The Trouble in Times Square Affair" Chapter XIII- Round Robin

2021-01-08T11:09:00Z

Posted by: mrua7.livejournal.com

Illya floored the van inside the warehouse with a screech of the tires; gaining traction was fine, but as soon as the vehicle exited it was met with an ever deepening snowfall.

The van swerved and Kuryakin shouted in Russian for the others to hold on, knowing that both Napoleon and April would understand him.

“Derzhis' za chto-nibud'!”

Mark caught on quickly and followed suit. Collier Adams however, did not.
