The Bargain
Oct. 24th, 2020 03:00 pmst-crispins.livejournal.comI wrote this for a Halloween challenge some years ago. It's also available at AO3.
I thought it would be appropriate if Illya told a story with a socialist theme.
The Bargain
New York City, Halloween night, 1964
"… And there it was — the hook — still attached to the outside handle of the passenger door…"
As he finished his story, George Dennel sat back in his chair, feeling very pleased with himself. He wanted to add an evil laugh at the end, but thought better of it. He wasn’t very good at evil laughter anyway.
The small group that was gathered in the commissary of U.N.C.L.E. HQ offered polite nods and smiles. Mandy even clapped. It wasn’t quite the reaction he’d expected.
"That’s an old one, George,” Napoleon Solo observed from behind the nearby counter where he was mixing drinks for all of them. "Everyone’s heard it before." It was long after the dinner hour and except for the janitor mopping up the floors, the kitchen staff was gone for the night.
"Really?" George asked, genuinely surprised.
"In my country," Illya Kuryakin informed him, "it’s a scythe hanging on the side of a hay wagon."

Revisiting Last Year: 7 Deadly Sins
Oct. 24th, 2020 12:40 pmglennagirl.livejournal.comI had forgotten all about this, but it says it's last year, and it says Halloween. Based on that I'm posting this little series of shorts for the first day of our nod to the season.
And this, for a little bonus ;). When this was first posted, there was a challenge to write a short story or Drabble based on it. That's still open.

There's a dark lantern of the spirit,
Which none see by but those who bear it,
That makes them in the dark see visions
And hag themselves with apparitions,

Oct. 17th, 2019 03:10 pmhypatia-66.livejournal.comI started this ages ago, not intending to write a Halloween story, but as a way of waking my muse from a sulk. But the original has pumpkins, so it was inevitable.

How About Those Halloween Prompts?
Aug. 9th, 2019 09:52 amglennagirl.livejournal.comI'm going to get out of my lane a little and put in a plug for the Halloween Challenge over on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
mfu_scrapbook
There's quite a few prompts over there that are still unclaimed, and I'm thinking some of the writers here on Section VII just haven't noticed. Am I right? Because, let's face it, we do that here... writing.
We'll be having our own Seven Days of Halloween, but let's not forget to support writing for MFU when we see the opportunity.
It's a fact of life that there are fewer people participating now than in years past, but the fires of the fandom are present even if in need of some stoking.
So, if you haven't already, take a look at the prompts and see if anything calls out to you. Several of our members/writers here on Section VII have submitted story prompts (myself included), so it's a little like answering a challenge here in our own playground.
If you've been there once already but need a second look, here's where to find them... Halloween prompts
This is a writing season for us if you take a look at what's coming up in the next few months. And there will be a Christmas Round Robin once again, so take a deep breath and start typing.
Long Story Affair Challenge (coincides with 55 year anniversary, begins posting on September 22)
Halloween Challenge (onmfu_scrapbook)
Seven Days of Halloween
Return of these challenges on Section VII:
PicFic Tuesday
Once Upon A Time
Song Story
Seasonal (HODOWE, Great Episode Challenge)
