Not to Talk

Man From UNCLE, tv series
gen or slash, PG for theme, ambiguously darkfic, 1.5k.

In their line of work, they never talked about certain things. That didn’t mean those possibilities weren’t something they faced every day.

Warnings: POSSIBLE DEATH FIC – AMBIGUOUS ENDING

Notes: This is a bit of darkfic, with an ambiguous ending. Not my normal sort of cup of tea, I’ll admit. I like happier endings. However, in the middle of a recent post by Rallamajoop (a marvelous piece reviewing the UNCLE tv series for the new viewer, going over premise, characters, the slash, the appeal, 50 years on), there’s a line about “not talking about it is simply how they deal with the ever-present threat that one or both of them could die in the line of duty”. It’s just one line out of a lot of meta about many, many things... but it stuck with me. I woke up with this ficlet running through my mind and while I normally redirect the darker ones into something lighter... after it persisted for the day, I decided it had to be written. Lighter fics coming another time. And, since the ending IS ambiguous... you can choose which way you want it to go. So it doesn’t have to be... that’s just one way it might go. As always, with them.

(Also, can be read as either gen or slash - just like the series ^^)

Man, I really sucked at posting these to the fic journal this year. Or last, rather. I suspect it's because mentally I tend to think of this as the Smallville posting area and these are all MFU fics. Plus, these were all done on time crunches during NaNo and for a bingo deadline. But if I'm going to have a fic journal, I really need to *use* the fic journal. Anyhow, here's the last of 2015:


Not Dead Yet
After Napoleon is captured and rendered helpless by a drug, Illya rescues him and keeps him safe through the recovery. Much cuddling ensues.

Wanting Too Much
A young soldier turned thief after the war, Napoleon goes to a black-market auction to sell a valuable painting... and comes away with something he didn't intend to buy – a Russian KGB agent. After an interesting night where they get to know each other, the next day finds them determined to do something to right some wrongs... but not all wrongs can be corrected that easily. As they work together, Napoleon learns some hard truths... but also comes away at the end with something more valuable than a painting.

These next four were done for the bingo settings card in GYWO - I was pushing the deadline on them... ^^;

Art Lessons
Napoleon gets carried away while discussing art, and then Illya teaches him a lesson he won’t soon forget. About life, and history, and have and have not... and what friends can do for each other.

Chefs and Spies
While he’s away, Solo’s team devises a cover for him on their next mission that he’s not at all happy about.

Winter Mistress
Escaping from the enemy means facing the elements, and they can be even more dangerous, without meaning to. Napoleon and Illya do what they can for another day.

(Two versions of same story in the chapters. I was experimenting with TMFU and MFU differences.)

Spies and Thrush Drugs
Illya is given a drug by Thrush that not only affects him, but also those around him. Napoleon finds this out too late. It was, however, quite enjoyable. And they’ve had worse Thrush drugs.

Interlude in the Not A Villain series after Making Plans.

(See the Master Post for links and summaries to all stories.) Betas by Ronda and Sue, thank you! :) Cross-posted to Archive of our Own.

Okay, the Clexmas reveal has gone up so I can post the links to the stories now. :)

For Clexmas I did two stocking stuffers, and one long fic.

The first stocking stuffer goes along with ctbn60's card manips, so you probably want to go look at those first and then see what the boys did after. :)
A Christmas Card for Lex
Clark's Gifts, continued
Lex Strikes Back
Clark's the Best

R Ficlet 405 words: Card Effects

The other stuffer is kidfic - Clex with Conner.

G Ficlet 775 words: The Pirates and the Sea Dragon

The long fic was written for tasabian and it ended up... long. ;D

Title: Snow Trials
Type: Fic, ~13,000 total
Rating: PG
Warnings: The story has some angst at the beginning and off-screen deaths (nobody we know). (FYI, No matter what Clark thinks at the beginning, this is NOT a major character death fic.)
Summary: After chasing off aliens from an attack on Earth, Clark heads back to the planet to deal with the fall-out. When he goes to find Lex, Clark gets trapped and then they must work together to find a way out.
Request: Clark and Lex forced to work together.
Notes: AU off end season 3, many years later. It, ah, went a bit astray from the prompt, though it kept to the main idea. Mostly. ^^;; Hope you enjoy! (Much beta love to sue_dreams for the ultra-last-minute work!)

Pre-note: I'm posting this story in four parts, a part per day, because it's got some things going on in it that would be better off read and absorbed in smaller doses instead of the whole thing at once. It's complete, so there's no doubt about it being all posted. But if you really hate reading in small doses, you can wait until Wednesday and then read the whole thing at once. ^^

Cross-posted to Archive of Our Own in one full piece. (Put up after posting on journal was done.)
