Hi all,

It's a great time, and has historically produced some wonderful fic. And, in an unexpected turn of events, I, a lifelong enlistee in the #waronChristmas, am helping run the exchange this year, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

The Domestic Bliss Affair

(so I guess I got rid of this, sks, here it is again for my beloved fellow Cousins in the world.)

-

They have only just closed the door, walked into the hallway of their home for the evening when- “Папочка! Папочка!” A small, blonde headed girl comes racing around the corner; directly towards Napoleon. Who of course, instantly scoops her up into his arms; laughing heartily. “Привет, Esfir.” Illya is beaming at the sight of them, inside and out, but affects a hurtful pout. “And what, nothing for me?” “Of course for you, Батя!” She squeaks and impatiently wiggles her tiny hands for him. He warmly chuckles, and embraces her; giving their sweet girl a peck on the cheek. “You are learning very well, рыбочка.” The Russian agent whispers to her. Somewhere along the line, Napoleon has snuck his arm around Illya and is now leaning to cuddle with both husband and child.

This… contentment, it seems so unreal at times; the darker haired spy still can’t quite believe it’s something that belongs to him. Seeming to sense his thoughts, Illya comes in to kiss him. Deep, but ever so soft. “Это реально, мой дорогой. Now, and always. I promise, Napoliosha.” Then he feels something suddenly pulling on his pant leg, and looks downwards. “Ah, and speaking of real…” “Hi, daddy! I’ve been waiting for you to come home for so long. Did you have a good day at work? Is that a new tie? It looks great on you.” The little black haired boy currently vibrating with excitment, and an enormous smile then glaces at his Russian father through his lashes. “Daddy… Remember you promised you were going to let me pick a kitten?” The laughter that erupts from his chest… With his arms now occupied with their daughter, it’s Napoleon who pries their son off of Illya. “He has also been learning very well…” Illya shakes his head, though still chortling and widely grinning. “I have no idea what you could possibly be referring to, Mister Kuryakin-Solo…” The American replies with a faux huff of offense, pouting as he strokes the boy’s hair. “And hello to you too, Xander, by the way… I had a very good evening at work, in case you were interested to know.” He giggles, looking rather contrite and hugging his father’s face. “Sorry, pop. Hello! And of course I wanna know! Tell me all about it?”

Illya and Napoleon look directly at each other, then with a glow in each of their eyes; linking their hands together. They have each other, a cozy home, and two truly wonderful children. Life, could not be sweeter.

~ Папочка - daddy/dear daddy

Привет - hello

Батя - father

рыбочка - little fish

Это реально, мой дорогой - this is real, my darling ~

Believe it or not this was an honest-to-goodness trend among college kids in the '50s.

What-

What the hell kind of school did you go to?

#1 Illya: Napoleon will never guess that I'm about to put this "MADE IN THE USSR" sticker on his back--UH OH ABORT MISSION ABORT MISSION

#2 Illya: I am the bad cop of this good cop bad cop picture.

Napoleon: Illya's going to be so mad when he finds out I'm using this for our Christmas cards.

Caption these

I’ll go first

#1 Alexander Waverly: Mr Solo I received your invoice, I am sorry but we can only reimburse you for three suits per quarter.

#2 Solo: the TRUSH photographer is taking his damn time.

Illya: He hasn’t gotten your good side not that he is is going to find it.

I have long headcanoned that Illya is a black coffee drinker while Napoleon gets stuff like flavored lattes. Well, this rather boring (and very straight) meme appeared on my Instagram today.

Well, I did this to it. My mind went straight to them

I couldn’t resist, man!

Napoleon Solo Headcanons: Early Life Edition

Based on things that he says in the show and that people say about him ('You don't exactly rate with Dun and Bradstreet', thanks, Illya), I'm interested in Napoleon's relationship to and experience with money. In my imagination, his family was initially well off, but overextended in the stock market and lost nearly everything in the crash. So, Napoleon would have been born solidly into the Great Depression and spent his earliest years in a family that was a) broke and b) desperately holding on to a veneer of prosperity. Mix in to taste the interpersonal conflict, blame, and shame that occur in a family experiencing a sudden financial setback.

I expect that they eventually clawed their way back to stability as the US economy rebounded in the 40's and 50's, but also that their experience left some cracks that could not be papered over. Young Napoleon would have learned the importance of keeping up appearances, been used to adults hiding things from him, and gotten good practice in hiding things from others. In his chosen profession, he is well served by his persistent ability to maintain a vague illusion of glamour under all circumstances.

Open Channel D

Today is the 60th anniversary of the airing of "The Vulcan Affair" the first episode of the Man from UNCLE.

I was but a babe (no really I was one when this episode aired) so I didn't see it first time around.

In High School I dated Derek and he had all the books and comic books. The first episode I saw was "The Project Strygas Affair" at a science fiction conventions. Shortly after that one of the channels in the area started showing it very late at night and I was hooked.

It has been one of my comfort shows.

My plan is to watch through the movies they put together with episodes today.

My favorite character is Illlya which should surprise no one.

In an attempt to be the change I wish to see in the world (and also procrastinate on grad school tasks), feel free to inbox me prompts for mfu (tv) micro-meta (like a few sentences) analyses and I will do my best.

I started a Sean Connery James Bond movie and he’s like if Napoleon Solo actually had sex with woman.

I know Napoleon Solo is based off James Bond mostly the “handsome womanizer” part of him but I watched MFU before James Bond and they kinda missed with the “womanizer” aspect of his character and just created a good spy who doesn’t have sex with woman and instead is hopelessly in love with his male partner.

Also interesting because I can tell where they got some of the things they added to Napoleons character in the movie. Movie Napoleon is closer to James Bond than TV Napoleon but both seem a lot fruitier than Bond entirely because Illya is Napoleons partner and they’re in love.

Recoloured a bunch of my old drawings because I'm experimenting with a new colour palette (also I didn't have my drawing tablet so it was easier to just use on old drawing and paint bucket everything). Also, also, I haven't posted anything gfu in ages so I've really been slacking in my self-imposed job of reminding people that the show exists. Sorry about that, gang. This has been your reminder 🫡
