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.

PicFic Tuesday Prompt!
Feb. 16th, 2021 11:34 amHere are the general rules of the challenge:

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.

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.
Writer's choice: The ring
Feb. 13th, 2021 08:27 pmNapoleon has always wanted to know about the ring Illya wears

Here's your prompt:
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.
