Man from U.N.C.L.E. Section VII

I would like to introduce all of you to highshore She's new to MFU but has been writing Sapphire & Steel for a while.  She's Italian, and writing in English, which has to be challenging.  I'm sure svetlanacat4 can tell us a little something about writing in a second language.
highshore  and I got to meet this summer when she and her family were traveling here in the US, and we spent an afternoon together talking about the fandoms, life on two continents... you name it.
 I'm thrilled that she's writing for MFU now, and am loving this story she has crafted from the concepts introduced in the Return Movie.  She's set her own scenario about how the two former partners meet up again, and from start to finish I think you'll really enjoy this one.

Troubles At Vanya's on ff.net or on her journal.  I'm posting it here from newly revised pages because lj played with the formatting on highshore's journal page.  I hope everyone makes our newest cousin feel welcome.

Apparently it was much easier to dodge bullets than to sell women’s couture fashions.


Chyort! There it was again; UNCLE. Why couldn’t he keep it out of his mind, just for one day? He resigned from the agency ten years ago, and yet that period of his life never really left his thoughts or his heart; the memories  insisted in sneaking into his consciousness at the most unpredictable moments.
