…I have two questions: HOW and WHY do we go from freezing/snow to hot, summer thunderstorms in 3.5 days??
For those of you unfamiliar with Fahrenheit:
I’m rewatching The Young Philadelphians since it’s on TCM rn and Robert’s acting in this is just amazing and why did he not win the Oscar for this!?
Stupid Academy did him dirty! 😡
So, a year ago, I had a 500-page Word document that held every single drabble/oneshot I’d ever written. In a bid to be a bit more organized, I divided that 500-page document into different ones for each fandom.
…And now, a year later, my MFU oneshot doc alone is over 400 pages. That’s not including the multichapter fics, either.
I was tagged by @gravelgirty for the “post the last sentence you wrote” thing, so here it is–
Napoleon gave Illya a wan smile.
“Well then, let’s head back and face the music.”
So, around 2 years ago, I did an MFU-themed run of Oregon Trail.
I decided to do another one, with this premise: Napoleon and Illya go back in time and meet Lionheart and Kid, and they travel the Trail together.
Highlights and commentary by @ksturf and myself under the cut–
It was a month before something happened. Thankfully, Napoleon will look after him with some TLC…
….Aaaaand gets it from him.
Illya: I told you to sleep somewhere else… Napoleon: …Worth it.
Napoleon chooses this inopportune moment to extol the virtues of vaccines and modern medicine. Lionheart doesn’t appreciate it.
Napoleon: So, with just a quick inoculation, you can avoid this– Lionheart: SHADDUP *goes for a punch, misses, punches the wagon’s support beam instead, and–*
Napoleon: …Did you think I didn’t know my own fighting style? I mean, you’re basically me… Lionheart: I said shaddup!
This happened so many times. Two seasoned travelers plus two Survival School graduates apparently are not enough.
Lionheart: So where are those vaccines you were talking about? Illya: This was from the bad water, Blockhead! *goes for a punch, misses, also hits the wagon support beam–*
Napoleon: …New rule, no more fighting.
Illya: Napoleon, did you forget to get your booster shot!? Napoleon: …I… might have… Lionheart: So you forgot your newfangled vaccine? Illya: This BLOCKHEAD did, da. Kid: *quiet snark*
Illya: NAPOLEON, I SWEAR I AM DRAGGING YOU TO MEDICAL TO GET YOUR BOOSTERS AS SOON AS WE GET BACK TO OUR TIME. Kid: *more, louder snarking* Napoleon: *annoyed breathing in Kid’s general direction*–
Kid: YOU GATDANGED CITY SLICKER…!
*much TLC and a new truce ensues*
…And they finally made it all in one piece! …Just barely!
