The Inimitable Madam Waverly (link takes to to AO3)
It's Baaaack... What If?
Sep. 14th, 2017 08:30 amToday's prompt for What If? goes like this...
What if Mister Waverly was actually a Madame Waverly? How different would the administration of this powerful agency look if under the guidance of a woman. She will, of course, have the same splendid resume as the man we normally see in the big office, with experiences in wartime as well as ... well, you tell me.
And how does it affect the agents? Does it take so long to have a female agent under the leadership of a woman?
So many angles, so many questions to be answered.
I hope you have some.
Stories post September 28-October 1. Gen, minimum 500 words.

Opps... What If I forgot to post a prompt?
Jun. 2nd, 2017 08:39 amWhat if Illya and Marion hadn't broken it off (as we assume they did since we never see her again after The Giuoco Piano Affair). What if he can't live without her. What does he do about it and what is her response?
There are a number of stories out there with the couple in tact, or working things out or some other scenario. I have my version that ties into my Vanya series.
What do you think might have happened?
Gen, or het over on

The Prompt: What if Illya Kuryakin really was working for the Soviets? What if his loyalty to UNCLE was severely handicapped by his devotion to duty regarding his homeland? What if Napoleon found out?
(click the pic to take you to the story)
What if the story is set in the present, and our guys have the real counterparts to what the series only imagined possible. Cell phones, video transmissions and true Super Computers. How does that translate?
Stories should be gen in nature to post on Section VII. Het or otherwise can post in the
Have fun, because I'm pretty sure our spies would definitely enjoy the 21st Century.
What If Challenge: The Spy
May. 15th, 2017 01:05 pmI have re-linked this story...(not my best effort I'm afraid) to AO3 because I still cannot make links to DW work.
The Spy

What if... and this is a big one that might make us cringe slightly...
What if Illya Kuryakin really was working for the Soviets? What if his loyalty to UNCLE was severely handicapped by his devotion to duty regarding his homeland?
What if Napoleon found out?
Think about it, dream about it and bite the proverbial bullet. Posting begins as soon as you can write it and runs through the 18th. Stories should be Gen, but if Het somehow happens you can post it in
Let the angst begin.

Previously I posted my story for this challenge based upon April and Illya...but Mark Slate has been nagging me to let him put his word in; so I have added chapter 2 to this challenge story. PARTNERS. Links go to AO3 and to FF.NET
What If? Prompt for posting April 13-20
Apr. 13th, 2017 08:15 amWhat if Napoleon had a secret? Something that perhaps not even Waverly knows about... maybe. What can come of such a deep and dark element to the CEO of UNCLE Northwest?
Let's hear about it.

What If? Prompt for April 6-9
Mar. 30th, 2017 08:36 am
We're finishing up March, which means you still have time to write and post stories based on the previous prompts. Going into April we're still looking into the unknown, playing with the AU a little. Here's what you'll be working with next:
What if April and Illya were partners, Napoleon and Mark best buds and partners.
What does that look like in your interpretation of things?

Once dismissed, Napoleon and Illya headed out and retrieved their horses from the stable; Kuryakin riding a feisty black stallion, Solo sat atop a gorgeous palomino with a flowing white mane and tail.
Solo’s saddle was ornamented with silver, while the Russian’s was plain black leather, but well cared for.
They spurred their horses to a gallop, heading out of Laredo with a plan to meet with Sir Reginald at his ranch.

The prompt: What if The Man from UNCLE and its characters were set in 1880?
Two men, one clothed smartly in a crisp white shirt with black string tie, striped vest and pressed pants; he had leather gloves on his hands and a black stetson hat with a sterling silver band on his head. His face was handsome and chiseled.
Hanging low on his hip was a black leather holster, in it a pearl handled Smith and Wesson Schofield .45 six shooter. Inlaid in the pommel of that gun was the initial ‘S’.
The other man walking beside him was in less well kept clothing, his hat hanging on his back, draped from a cord around his neck. He wore a vest, light colored trousers and shirt, but appeared more disheveled like a working cow hand.
He was a fair haired, skinny, and a bit shorter in stature that his companion. One outstanding feature was his eyes, they were as blue as the sky but had a coldness to them even in the stifling heat of Texas.
His gunbelt hung low on his hip; the well oiled the brown leather belt held his pistol with the letter ‘K’ inlaid into the dark pommel. His was a Smith and Wesson as well, but with Russian modifications.

Because we're using March to catch up, I'm going to let the prompts ride as they are without adding a new one this week.
What If? lets us explore other versions of the various elements within MFU, creating a subtle shift in the reality or canon viewpoint. It isn't too late to start writing, we're only just beginning...
