Here are the final two parts of the Das Vadanya series.

A word of warning on these two stories. They represent the greatest amount of missing time in the series. I've got three outlined and partially written stories that are meant to come between these, stories that take Illya and Napoleon through rather a lot, so the transition from one to the other might seem a bit abrupt. But hopefully they'll still work for you.

Here's part 2 of the Das Vadanya Tovarishch series.

Prodigal's Return (11137 words) by PR Zed

With the official reveal out at muncle, I can now post a link to the UNCLE Down the Chimney Affair story I wrote for farad: The Carpathian Christmas Affair.

The prompts farad gave me were Soviet politics, gypsies and chains, just so you know what you're getting into.

The writing on this one really went down to the wire, and my betas really came through to make sure the whole thing worked. Thanks to ancastar and st_crispins for keeping me honest on the structure, and to msmoat and periwinkle27 for checking that the revisions worked.

It's a little over a year since this story appeared in Relative Secrecy 8, so I've thrown it up on my website. I'm rather fond of it, since I, yet again, got to use my Latvian background. It's the second story in my Celebration Cycle, all based around holidays. Jani is a real holiday in Latvia, and still huge, and yes, there really is a magic fern.

The fandom's UNCLE, it's Illya/Napoleon slash and there's a soupçon of sex, for those who care about such things.

So, if you like, go read The Midsummer's Eve Affair.
