Whumpcember, Day 3 - Storms
Tags: Post-Canon, could be gen or romantic who knows certainly not me, Storms, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Sharing a Bed, Anxiety, Insomnia
Notes: Publishing it late, but here it is LOL. Enjoy!
.
It’s a childish fear, one that she won’t ever admit to, but it’s still keeping her awake at night. Storms are only scary to kids that don’t know any better yet, but apparently the supposed wisdom of her years isn’t enough to let her ignore the way the thunders vibrating through the walls, her bed, her bones are keeping her frozen in place, anxiety growing in her chest until it’s a physical and suffocating weight.
This isn’t very surprising, since she has trouble sleeping under the best of circumstances anyway, but it is deeply annoying. She is tired, she wants to sleep. The sound of falling rain alone was enough to grate against her nerves, but the thunders, the flashes of light that she can see even through closed eyelids—
Pacing around her bedroom like a caged animal doesn’t help.
Getting a glass of water doesn’t either, especially when another thunder startles her and she almost drops it on the ground.
Pacing around the apartment risks waking her partners up, though if the storm hasn’t already perhaps nothing will, and also lands her right in front of Illya’s door. It’s ajar, and it’s tempting.
They have slept together before, when their temporary quarters left something to be desired, and for all that she tries not to think about it she knows how much it helped, how much more easily she could fall asleep once she knew she had Illya at her back. She could try to blame it on her exhaustion during missions, because she’s bound to sleep soundly then, but she knows from experience that her level of exhaustion has little to do with whether she’ll be granted the courtesy of some decent sleep or not.
Like now, when she is tired deep in her bones and yet she’ll still walking around at three in the morning.

WIP Wednesday
WOOOO ITS WIP WEDNESDAY thank you SO MUCH @nicijones for the tag!!!
I have been struck by the Too Much Inspiration bug, so here are teasers for two upcoming fics!!
Michelin Star Spy
They make it to Illya's reliable little vehicle without trouble and the man bundles into the passenger seat like he belongs there. He flicks on the radio to a random station and begins rifling around in the glove compartment, under the dash and the seat, reaching over to feel under the steering wheel. It sets Illya nerves alight with indignation. Who is this asshole?
(p.s. I came up with that title literally ten minutes ago, the Google Doc is still called "Untitled Document" lmao")
Winged Spies Anthology (title pending)
1. title pending (Gallya centric)
“How are you feeling?” he asks in German, tucking the feathers he collected into a particularly bare-looking section of the nest. Illya sheds his jacket as he approaches the bed, drinking in her divinity. Her wings flutter subtly, shaking a matching feather loose from the opposite wing. “Like horse shit,” Gaby sniffles. She's been crying. He doesn't mention it. She would just deny it anyway.
2. Let Me Be Your Own Icarion Carrion (Napollya centric)
“I've got you. Don't try to move,” a familiar voice whispers into his ear, and suddenly Illya feels the arm wrapped around his waist and the hand holding his head above the water, “Gaby's calling in the aquatics.” “You–,” Illya coughs, “Your wings.” “In better shape than yours.” Illya feels the water swirl around them and a flash of darkened brown catches his eye beneath the waves. “They'll dry, Peril.”
AHHHH I can't wait to share these with you guys!!!
No pressure tagging @pippinoftheshire @yallwildinrn @heytheredeann

The Man From U.N.C.L.E Preferences- Kisses
Napoleon Solo:
Tumblr media
Regular kisses - Napoleon’s regular kisses are always very passionate. Contrary to the way he acts, Napoleon is a big romantic who wouldn’t survive without you. He’s not too serious often but his kisses are. The truth is he’s usually not safe and can’t fully guarantee your safety so he always plants long, passionate kisses on your lips to show you how much he loves you.
Relieved kisses - Napoleon is a pretty charming, calm, self-absorbed guy unless it comes to you. He prefers to keep your relationship private because he does have some enemies. If something happened to you he would lose his mind. So, when the two of you reunite after either of you being in danger he’s a mess. He’ll sprint towards you mumbling he loves you on your lips, before connecting his lips to yours. For a calm guy, his relived kisses can get sloppy, but he can’t help it, he just wants to be close to you.
Steamy kisses - Napoleon’s steamy kisses can get quite rough. If the two of you are going to make-out you don’t mess around. Usually you don’t lead up to it with sweet kisses, unless your being romantic, it’s just straight up making out. Napoleon is often more aggressive, in a good way, with his kisses. There is normally some lip-biting during your steamier kisses.
Illya Kuryakin:
Tumblr media
Regular kisses - Regular kisses with Illya are often just sweet pecks due to the height difference. Either you’ll stand on your tip-toes and place a gentle kiss on his lips, or he’ll lean down and kiss you. Even though your regular kisses aren’t long they’re still very sweet and loving.
Relieved kisses - Illya worries about you more than he worries about himself. He’s terrified that someone will one day hurt you to hurt him. If you work together and get separated, or he comes back after a close call you jump into his arms, wrapping your legs around his waist. The two of you will instantly kiss one another wanting to be as close as possible.
Steamy kisses - Illya’s steamy kisses never start as steamy. They are usually sweet kisses that turn into more. Illya towers over you so, when your kisses turn steamy, he’ll pick you up, with your lips still glued to each other, and place you on a table or counter. This way he doesn’t have to bend so far and you can continue your make out.
Gaby Teller:
Tumblr media
Regular kisses - Gaby’s doesn’t have a regular kiss. She loves surprises and the two of you have a very playful relationship, so she always kisses you differently. Some days she’ll only leave soft kisses all over your skin and lips, while other days she is more into hugs than kissing. She also can have feistier days, leaving long, passionate kisses on your lips before you’re apart that day.
Relived kisses - When Gaby gets worried about you or thinks something has happened she tends to shut down. So, when the two of you finally reunite, although she’s relieved, she acts a little indifferent. She’ll often give you a tight hug and place a tender peck on your lips, but that’s it. Later that night she’ll apologize, it’s just her way of coping, and pepper you in kisses.
Steamy kisses - Your steamy kisses with Gaby are playful and teasing. She’s a big flirt and loves to tease you. When your kisses start to get more heated she loves to pull away. This either makes you beg for her kiss or makes you rougher, pulling her by the shirt and smashing your lips onto hers, which she loves. Sometimes the two of you will play around, lips inches apart, but not touching until one of you gives in and captures the others lips with your own.

Do you have any headcanons of Illya as a father?
yes.
(I’m kinda basing this off of my own grandfather who was born the same year Illya was).
because of his own upbringing, he’s very aware of what kind of parent he wants to be. So he does his very best to make sure his children have a normal life, in a loving household, with very little drama. It doesn’t always work out that way, but he tries his best.
when his children are young he NEVER wants them see him have a bad day; he doesn’t want them to be scared by his hands shaking, or him disassociating. When he feels like that is about to happen he tries to excuse himself. When his young children ask why he’s been in a dark room for so long, all they're told is that “father is developing photographs for you to see later!” As they become older, however, he can’t always shield them from what happens to him, and eventually he sits them down and explains it to them. They learn things about their father they never knew before and love him even more for it. They also learn to be more sensitive and empathic of other people they meet who have challenges in life.
he isn’t the disciplinarian. (Sidenote, story time: When my mother was in trouble, my grandmother would send her to be spanked by her father, and he just couldn’t do it, so he would get a pillow and say, “when I slap the pillow, scream very loud” and my mother would smile and do so. Apparently, my grandmother was never the wiser.) If Illya really needed to discipline them, he would sit them down and have a serious discussion with them—the discussions were far more impactful but also scarier than being disciplined by mother; at least with mother, it was quick, but if father had to deal with you, you were in for a lesson!
he would make sure they’re fluent in Russian, German, and English.
if they brought friends over to the house, he would, (just by nature, he probably doesn’t realize he does it), interrogate their friends to make sure they were good friends.
when they’re very young, or when they’ve had a bad dream, (and because he doesn’t sleep much anyway—he probably has insomnia like Gaby), he doesn’t mind staying up with them to comfort and soothe them. He makes them hot-cocoa which Cowboy says helps with bad dreams; Illya doesn’t know if that’s very accurate, but chocolate never hurts.
he’s a stay-at-home father and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He doesn’t want to miss any moments with them. He wants to see all their milestones.
to channel their rambunctious energy, he teaches them just enough Judo to defend themselves, but not enough for them to get in trouble at school or with their siblings. He has pretty strict rules about fighting.
he doesn’t mind taking them on field trips to their mother’s office where they get to see uncle Solo. He doesn’t tell them everything about what their mother does of course, but he makes sure they think what she does is pretty normal, to the point that when they talk to their friends it’s like, “I thought everyone’s mom was like that?”
he’s a doting camera dad and takes pictures of them all the time. He has pictures of them learning to walk, brushing their teeth, eating breakfast, getting their first dog, playing, any moment he wants to capture. And he has dozens of scrapbooks. It’s ridiculous. They get annoyed with him as they get older, but he doesn’t let up. He loves his kids.

Attention TMFU fandom!
AlchemyAlice is taking down the wonderful Songs the Equation Sings in order to turn it into a publishable novel!
If you haven't done it already, I highly suggest downloading a copy from ao3 before it's taken down.
And if you like historical stories that rely heavily on robots who develop feelings (in this case, for not one but two brilliant humans AND lots of robots feels) but have not read this fic yet, I can only recommend you go and download it too!

Round Up
So, about a year ago, I decided to officially go all in on The UNCLE fandom when I decided that, instead of explaining that I hadn’t actually intended to take requests when I posted that prompts list, I went ahead and wrote the requests!
I had been lurking around in the fandom since the beginning but that was my first time bringing anything to the table. Technically the anniversary should be in Sept, when I posted the first one on tumblr, but today is the day I put them on AO3, which seems much more official.
Who cares though, right? Maybe no one, but I thought that I would celebrate myself a little bit with a round up of all the fic I have written in the last year. Because I wanna.
And I’m posting it on thegranddewru and not somedeepmystery, because here is where it started. :D (but will absolutely be reblogging it over there)
It's Not About the Dress [G]: Original | AO3
“You’ve thought about this, haven’t you?”
Third Wheel [G]: Original|AO3
“I might never get another chance to say this,”
So Do I [G]: Original|AO3
“People are staring.”
The Things You Hope For [T]: Original|AO3|Epilogue
“I can’t keep kissing strangers and pretending that they’re you.”
(NOTE: In this case the Original and the AO3 versions differ. A lot)
From ‘A’ to Where You’d Be [T]: AO3
Sighing, she lifts the pendant and dangles it from the delicate chain so that the stone can play in the changing light. Pink and striated with bands of soft white, it’s nothing special. It’s not precious; isn’t worth any real money. It contains no trackers, no bugs, no link for him to keep track of her and certainly no magical power to bring him back. It’s just a stone. - It was just a stone. Nothing more.
Gaby has lost something and can’t give up the idea that she might be able to find it again.
This Love Won’t Break Your Heart [T]: AO3
The Holidays are mostly over but Illya and Gaby still seem to be talking at cross purposes. She has a plan to try and set their relationship straight but a mission and an unexpected dose of truth serum might ruin her plans completely. So much for a Happy New Year.
If you ever wanna be in love [T]: AO3
Experimenting with the hipster no caps thing
Why had she done it? Why had she given in to that bold impulse? Now she would be paying her dues and she had no idea what they would be.
Her Sweet Weight Upon My Heart a Night [T]: AO3
Illya commits to the weight of his love for her...
He Was Weak and I was Strong - Then [T]: AO3
Gaby and a critically wounded Illya prepare to make a last stand.
Not at Home to Callers [M]: AO3
Illya and Gaby try to celebrate, but the other people in their life don't seem to be cooperating.
What If I Say I Shall Not Wait! [M]: AO3
Illya's return from Moscow is delayed and he finds Gaby has been deeply affected by it. Desperate not to lose her, he does whatever he can to keep her.
to fill my mouth with your name [E]: AO3
Cohabitation can lead to awkward situations. When Illya accidentally walks in on Gaby taking care of her own needs, he can't make himself walk away. Then he hears something he absolutely can't resist. [Clickbait summary Hahahaha!]
Gone [G]: AO3
For years, she has managed this curse, held the animal at bay, learned what to do, how to be, all the many ways to subvert it, but this… It’s beyond her.
Gaby deals with anxiety.
In No Need of Rescue (but Sure as Hell Don’t Mind) [T]: AO3
Gaby is no damsel in distress, but that doesn't mean she minds a little intervention. When Gaby's mission ends up a bust, she's got nothing to look forward to but a long. uncomfortable wait. It's nothing she can't handle, but she sure would prefer a ride.
[Inspired by True Life Events!]
Maybe Just a Way Home [M] [WIP]: AO3
In a last minute effort to stop an evil plan by THRUSH, and with Solo on task for the CIA, Illya and Gaby are sent on a mission to intercept a priceless package, but it isn’t what any of them expected. With their exit plans torpedoed, a mafia family and THRUSH agents hot on their heels, the duo is forced to deal with the troublesome package as well as the rising swell of desire and passion between them which threatens to either destroy them... or make them whole. 
Here’s to a year of having written! They may not be perfect, but it feels good to be writing again and to look back at this list as an accomplishment. Thank you to all the readers and writers out there for friendship and encouragement along the way.  (Hopefully, next year I’ll have more to add!)

Chapters: 50/50 Fandom: The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Illya Kuryakin/Gaby Teller, Illya Kuryakin & Napoleon Solo & Gaby Teller, Illya Kuryakin & Gaby Teller & Alexander Waverly Characters: Illya Kuryakin, Gaby Teller, Napoleon Solo, Alexander Waverly Additional Tags: Vignette, Prompt Fic, Dialogue prompts, Fluff, Light Smut, Ficlet Collection Summary:
Fifty moments in the shared life of Gaby Teller and Illya Kuryakin.
Like 'Things You Said,' this is a collection of vignettes based on a prompt list. The scenes are out of order but all belong in a single continuity.
Gaby picked up a bishop and stared at it critically, as if it were personally responsible for her difficulty in mastering chess. “What does this one do, again?”
Illya took a deep breath. “You do not have to learn to play chess,” he pointed out. “Perhaps you would prefer to play card games with Cowboy. He is always bragging how good he is at Blackjack.”
“No, I want to learn,” she insisted, frowning. “I just can’t keep track of how they all move. This game has so many rules.” She set the bishop back down, more forcefully than necessary.
“Is really not so complicated,” he told her. Glancing around, he reached for the pen and pad of paper that sat next to the nearby telephone. “Here. Pawn can move two spaces forward on first move, and one space forward after that, or it can capture by moving one space diagonally forward…” He began to draw out little diagrams for her, jotting down the important rules as he went.
Soon she held the completed instructions – which took up a few sheets of paper, because the notepad was so small – in her hands. Glancing through them, she cocked an eyebrow at Illya. “Your penmanship,” she said, “leaves something to be desired.”
He gave her a dirty look at that. “Is my third language, and second alphabet. You would prefer Cyrillic?” he asked. “Then I think chess would be hard to learn.”

Hey everybody! I’ve finally posted the massive TMFU vignette collection I’ve been working on since early April. It’s a whopper – another collection of scenes shared out of order but all in one continuity, though this time they’re longer. They were all based on this list of dialogue prompts from tumblr.
This fic took me a really long time to finish, not least because of a great deal of writer’s block brought on by mental exhaustion from my job. If you enjoy the work I do, and you have a few extra dollars to spare, maybe you’d be so kind as to donate to my ko-fi! Or even just reblog this post so that others can see both the fic and my donation link. Either would be much appreciated! I also have a writing blog @scratchpapermouse, and a real, grown-up website for some of my original work at courtneysaywords.com!
Love you! 💞☀️

Sit Still
Based on this post.
--------------------------------
Illya was skeptical of Gaby’s willingness to have herself photographed, but he was even more reluctant when it came to being photographed himself.
“Is not good for spy to have photograph taken. Is too many chances for enemy to find current picture and track with it.”
Gaby had only rolled her eyes and pushed him from behind into the third-floor photography studio in Paris. The photographer, a gentle-hearted man named Bernard--but please, call me Benny--smiled as they arrived and immediately began directing Gaby toward the set up in the spacious loft. 
Illya took a seat and allowed himself to relax as he watched Bernard and his female assistant posing Gaby; stretch this foot forward, a quarter turn of your head to the left, there’s a good girl. Illya’s hackles were still up about the pictures at all, but it was lovely to watch Gaby being posed and actually enjoying herself.
When it was Illya’s turn, he begrudgingly took a seat on the white wooden block as instructed, but Bernard decided that his long, lean frame needed something taller to perch upon.
“On the stool, s’il vous plait,” Bernard instructed, pointing to it. “Legs crossed, right over left. Now lean forward and drape your arms over your right thigh. Lift your right hand just a touch, Monsieur Kuryakin. Exactly that, oui. Magnifique! Now hold that pose. Look at me, oui, juste parfait.”
Numerous shots were taken of Illya staring straight ahead and Bernard adored the severity in Illya’s look, his hair so perfectly coiffed and his ribbed turtleneck so stylish. Bernard wanted Illya’s wedding band to be displayed prominently, and Gaby agreed.
“Now, turn your head to your right, Monsieur Kuryakin. Keep your eyes open and glance over at your wife. You have a lovely profile.”
Illya stared at Gaby as Bernard got a few shots of his head from the side, the perfect part in his hair so striking and clean, matching perfectly with the aristocratic shape of his nose and the flawless cut of his jaw.
“Parfait! You may now relax, Monsieur. Mademoiselle Kuryakin, you may confer with your husband now, as Yvette and I take a few candid shots for posterity.”
Gaby walked over and with both hands on Illya’s arms, she quietly praised him for sitting so perfectly for the photographer, a few light kisses given and absolutely captured by Bernard. The album came weeks later by express post to their permanent address in New York, and Gaby immediately began framing the photos and putting them up throughout the townhouse.
“Frivolous,” Illya complained lightheartedly, though he really loved the way Bernard had captured them both. “But beautiful.”

Fake Marriage Interrupted
IDEA! Fake wedding for a mission. No pining. No angst. Napogallya are in an established relationship even though it's all unsaid mostly. (They’re not sleeping together, but they’re not not sleeping together. Like you know when all three friends are on the same page, and they know that page is love, and they know the others are on the same page and just don’t feel the need to voice it?)
Anyway, Gallya need to have a wedding for mission purposes. Napoleon is best man (obviously). In the middle of the vows, Illya objects to the wedding (you know, that part where people ask “If anyone has any objections says so now, or shut up forever”? Yeah, the groom just turns to the crowd and says “I object!”) and makes a dramatic exit with Napoleon. (Gaby is dramatically falling to her knees pretending to cry tears of rage as she throws her bouquet at Illya’s back)
Later, they all giggle together while Waverly+other UNCLE people lose their shit trying to understand how their plans went to shit. It turns out Illya had found out their target was a gigantic homophobe (or something), so he thought they'd surely get murdered if they seemed gay (I dunno, let’s say the target was the owner of their honeymoon hotel or I don’t care I just want an interrupted wedding with no angst).
Illya ends up being right, the target ends up dead, all is resolved to satisfaction, and they head off queerly into the sunset
(They never do get a real wedding, but they do pretty much every combination of fake married they can for every mission. “No really, we don’t need you to be married for this mission,” Waverly tries to say at some point. Gaby crosses her arms and lifts an unimpressed eyebrow, Illya just stares, and Napoleon smiles the creepiest smile that still seems real ever. “On second thought, it seems that every mission I have available for you requires at least an engaged couple, if not married,” Waverly corrects. “How unfortunate”)
