9 days until Yuletide stories are due...

Ahahahaha oh god. /o\

*****

On a completely unrelated note, I've been re-reading bunches of Man From UNCLE fic (sadly, not eligible for Yuletide). It's funny to think that Stan Lee probably named SHIELD after UNCLE, since the show started in 1964 and SHIELD's first appearance was 1965. Unless there's some other ridiculously acronym'd spy organization that preceded MFU. I am inordinately amused by this.

Also, Illya and Natasha stuck in a room together: instant hilarity, or swift death? Either way, they're in for a lot of Russian jokes.

Illya and Natasha in a room together OMG WANT! Natasha would be for the swift death, Illya for the hilarity, I feel. Though watching them both trying to scam the other would also be deeply cool.

And good luck with the Yuletide fic!

I guess it also depends on the circumstances that place them there - is Natasha time-traveling back to the sixties and already hyper-irritated about all the sexism? Is Illya time-traveling to the future and skeptical about whether this is all a massive con? Are Napoleon and Clint there being snarky assholes, or are they imperiled elsewhere?

I kinda like the scenario where Natasha is stuck in the sixties with Illya and Napoleon while Clint is missing, last seen injured/imperiled (I like making Clint the damsel, shut up), so she's flirting with Napoleon to gain his help, and Napoleon is being chivalrous and falling for it because she's very good, but Illya is just onto her enough to start interfering. And then there's lot of triple-edged wordplay and oblique I-know-you-know and tentative alliance-forming, and then they break out and kill everyone. Clint, once rescued, makes the obvious scary Russians joke that Napoleon has been holding back from as being too on the nose (and likely to get him stabbed), which endears him to Napoleon, and then they all go and get very drunk.

Thank you! ♥ I did hit 500 words tonight and figured out a basic structure/scope, so that helped. Whew.
