Welcome to my index. Almost all the stories here are from a slash perspective, some might be characterised as pre-slash and some have het aspects. Ratings vary. Genre and ratings, as well as length, warnings and disclaimers (where applicable), are included in the headers of the individual stories.

Links from the index are to various LJ communities or to my LJ [many headers also have links to Archive of Our Own (AO3)], none are to fanfiction.net. Bit by bit, I'll be changing the LJ links to DW ones.

If you proceed to reading, I hope you enjoy them. Feedback is very much appreciated.

Stories are grouped by fandom and listed alphabetically in each. Related stories are listed together.

Title: Dragon's Egg
Author: saki101
Genre: pre-slash
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairing: Illya/Napoleon
Disclaimer: Man from UNCLE is not mine and no money is being made.
A/N: elmey’s prompt was a Persian proverb: Night hides the world, but reveals a universe.

Also posted on AO3.


Excerpt: Napoleon glanced over his shoulder. Above the antique desk that crouched on its claw feet on the far side of the room, a faint glow illuminated a fold of the tapestry behind which they had located the safe. Illya had cracked it like it was a child’s toy, but inside there had been a strong box that was resisting his attentions with unusual success.

( Dragon's Egg )

Not quite at the eleventh hour, but almost!

elmey's prompt was for an Egg that had to do with fixing things that are cracked: Kintsugi. The prompt included a link with information and photos for those who would like to learn more about the art of 'golden joinery'.

This wonderful prompt inspired me to write an Egg-size (ostrich egg-size?) continuation (crossover/fusion/mash-up - I'm not even sure how to label it) of a story I wrote years back which had a flowering plant as one of the characters. The earlier story is not essential to the plot of this year's Egg!


( Kintsugi )

Written for sparky955 for Down the Chimney 9 (2012). The prompt was: Napoleon and Illya's first Christmas after their retirement from UNCLE (including slash and an established relationship).
Genre: Slash
Rating: PG-13
Length: ~5K
A/N: Slightly revised from the DtC post (as usual)
Disclaimer: MUNCLE is not mine and no money is being made.
(Original version posted on muncle DtC 2012.)

Excerpt: “You always managed to avoid the winter training exercises,” Illya said.

Napoleon nodded thoughtfully. “Never realised quite how wise I was.”

( The Après-Ski Affair )

This is a continuation of an Easter Egg entitled Third that I posted at MFU Writers Survival School early in April. For the first part of the story click here. Some readers were kind enough to express a wish for more of the story, so here it is.

Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I don't own MUNCLE and no money is being made.

utopiantrunks has devoted a lot of patience to getting me as far as this with this story.

Excerpt:
Napoleon was smiling sweetly at the receptionist while she unclipped his badge when she asked, "Did Illya give you the message from Veronica?"

The smile wavered an instant before Napoleon brought it back to the proper magnitude and asked casually, "When did you give it to him? I haven't seen him all afternoon."

"Right after lunch," Lily answered, gazing directly into Napoleon's eyes. "He was headed for that meeting you both had with Section Three." She paused and her eyes dropped to the desk calendar. "It got postponed until Monday at the last minute..."
