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

As often happens with me, a picture provoked a few thousand words. This little, fluffy fic is the result of one of the beautiful photos posted on mfu_yumdaily on 31 August 2010 by dhswi in her post entitled "Let's tiptoe through the tulips" ( click here ). (This story was also posted on Network Command and MFUWSS .)

As ever, utopiantrunks offered kind encouragement. All the faults are mine.

Excerpt:
“Protect him!”

“What?” the others replied drowsily, for the summer sun was warm on their leaves. The days had burned bright for months and the ground was dry around their upper roots, but their leaves were supple and green because the tap root was old and strong and dipped down to the underground stream running along the bedrock far beneath the soil. They were never thirsty and could enjoy the hot, cloudless days.

The first part of this story is the second Egg I posted at MFU Writers Survival School. Charismaz requested a N/I preslash story, a rocky road egg, of pondering thoughts and dance for her Easter surprise.

Once started, the story grew well beyond the word limit for the Easter Eggs, so here is the first part (Egg, originally posted on MFUWSS) and the rest of the story. (Also posted on MUNCLE.)

Excerpt:
Illya had paused near the bottom of the steps for a moment before entering the room. It had been long enough to draw the appraising gazes of several sets of eyes, despite the gloom of the club. The dazzling white of his open-necked shirt had helped to attract attention, the shimmer of his long, blond hair in the light from the top of the stairs had helped even more, but for those close enough to see in the low light, it was the very snug cut of his black trousers that had helped most of all. Discreetly, Illya scanned the tables near him and as much of the dance floor as was visible from where he stood, then he descended the final two steps and made his way towards the dance floor for a more thorough reconnaissance.

This is my first post, returning to Muncle fandom after a 40+ year break! It all started when I saw "The Russian Angel Affair" and "Malchik Gey" and the intervening decades just disappeared.

Author's Notes: Originally written for MUNCLE Down the Chimney 2009 for atheneparthenos. The prompts were mistletoe, exploding crackers and unusual present. Slight changes have been made to the DtC version, especially in Part 6.

Excerpt:
The last light was fading beyond the rooftops across the road, the brief surge of gold that had marked the end of the afternoon squeezed to a thin line beneath the leaden clouds. Napoleon watched the colours of the street scene shift, the details lost to shadow.
