MFU fic: Temporarily Inactive

[xparrot]

Tagged again, but this time, I seem to have slashed. Oops? (Sorry! It's all gnine's fault!) ...Only I cheated, because this is a PWP that is missing the actual sex. Sorry to everyone else! Writing erotica is an extreme challenge for me, so with a silly little story like this, I just...er...skipped it. When you hit the dreaded asterisks, use your imagination XP

This one's a tag to "The Arabian Affair," which is sheer farce, but on the other hand, gorgeous Illya is gorgeous, and I am such a sucker for Napoleon searching for his partner.

MFU: Temporarily Inactive {~2,200 words}
PG-13; slash, humor; tag to 2x07 "The Arabian Affair"
"Then prove it," Napoleon said, and that was all the warning he gave.

Twenty-three hours after their return to America, Illya was released from the hospital. The doctors supplied him with a cane and insisted that he rely on it for the next week. While in sight of the hospital, Illya took this instruction to mean, and left the cane in Napoleon's backseat when they reached his apartment.

This is great. So them. And you're not the worst slash fan in the world. I can't even write that much slash. :D Terrific ending for the Arabian Affair.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

So glad you enjoyed it! And hee, I'm glad to know I'm not the only slash fan who struggles to actually write it!

[edna-blackadder.livejournal.com]

Wow, I love your writing. They're so wonderfully in character, and I LOVE Illya's sneaky necktie machinations. So, so Illya, and Napoleon is spot-on too.

Also, you're hardly the world's worst slash fan. I definitely fall into the "porn not required" category myself :)

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Illya + necktie is a good combination, whatever he's doing with it...

[theladyrose.livejournal.com]

Napoleon/silly nicknames for Illya are my new OTP. I love the cat and mouse machinations - oh, Illya, you did learn something useful in the navy when it comes to tying knots :D

I rather liked this line:

Of course Napoleon had to spread himself out, like a gas expanding to fill the available volume.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I had way too much funny coming up with ridiculous Arabian nights endearments...(I suspect Napoleon would like to use them seriously on occasion, he can be a romantic...but baiting Illya is just as much fun!)

[vysila.livejournal.com]

Completely charming and hilarious. Loved it. Even without explicit sex. *g*

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, so glad you enjoyed it! (and that it didn't totally frustrate! ^^;)

I love it!! "The Arabian Affair" is one of my absolute favorite episodes; therefore, I've got to post my tag.

Re: FEEBACK

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Illya is extraordinarily attractive throughout the ep...

[jessebee.livejournal.com]

*laughs out loud* Sneaky Illya for the win!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks! I love me a sneaky Illya...

[laughingacademy.livejournal.com]

Oh, fabulous! I especially adored Napoleon's increasingly absurd epithets for Illya — "My little genie of the lamp," hee!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed it - I had fun with the epithets myself!

(also, hi, long time no see! So you're into MUNCLE, too? you have excellent taste in old TV! XD)

[ilkaril.livejournal.com]

Hihi fun you are rilly god at this :) i had fun :) hihi

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon, so glad you enjoyed it! ^_^

Thank you so much for writing these. I love them. So glad you slipped and wrote slash. 'grin'

Re: MFU

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you! It's a distinct possibility that I'll slip again...

[stitcher2ficcer.livejournal.com]

Quite cute and fun. I love the by-play between Illya and Napolean, as well as the necktie machinations and Illya's satisfaction at finding one of his own, narrower ties. It is a tad disturbing, however, to read my daughter writing about bondage. It's not often that you write something that strikes me the way my writing slash often strikes you and your sister. Makes me squirm a little, but I can't help but find it amusing as well.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

*laughs* With this show, it's difficult not to write at least a little bondage! I probably won't do more than this...no promises, though XP

[stitcher2ficcer.livejournal.com]

No promises needed. Even if I squirm a little 'cuz it's you writing it, I'll get over it. The pleasure of reading bondage of the type you've written between two gorgeous men who have soft spots for each other will certainly outweigh the squick. I'll just make sure your dad isn't reading over my shoulder.

[jazline.livejournal.com]

A true treat for my lazy afternoon - thanks for continuing "The Arabian Affair" - one of my all-time favorites!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

So glad you enjoyed it! ^_^

[elijahwildchild.livejournal.com]

This piece is lovely and this such a delightful line:

It would not take Napoleon more than a couple minutes to free himself, and he would prefer to face the inevitable retaliation freshly scrubbed, and perhaps slippery with soap besides.

You're on a roll... fantastic.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Last lines are always a matter of some effort for me, very happy to know this one works for you ^_^

[utopiantrunks.livejournal.com]

*Glee* This was excellent. I love Napoleon turning his seductive ways on Illya; I can hear it all in his voice. The flowery desert nicknames made me crack up. The sexual dynamic really worked for me, as well--it fit their canon partner-relationship very well.

While in sight of the hospital, Illya took this instruction to mean, and left the cane in Napoleon's backseat when they reached his apartment.

Is there a word or two missing after "mean", here?

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, so glad you enjoyed! I gotta admit, they are awful fun to slash...you win after all XPPPP

(hmm, I don't think there's any words missing? it's supposed to mean, "Illya took this instruction to mean, 'while in sight of the hospital' and left the cane..."?)

[utopiantrunks.livejournal.com]

Ah! Okay, got it. ^^ My brain was working in the opposite direction. I'm not asking to be a tool; I have a reason. ^^

I win? Yay! \^o^/

[crashtestskater.livejournal.com]

Hee, hee. Loved it.

I really like how you managed to avoid describing their sex scene. I thought it flowed really nicely from one scene to the next morning. I have a feeling that trying to do justice to their love making would be very difficult.

They are so cute. And I love the bondage. Smiles.

I really like this, thanks

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, glad you enjoyed it!! And heh, yeeesss, I'm not up to writing their sex... (though utopiantrunks has done great justice to them indeed, and will hopefully be posting soo~n! ^^)

[tresa-cho.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Reatliation!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee! (if you enjoy retaliation, you might want to check out For Every Action - I love writing the boys getting back at one another ^^)
