Fix them completely, wash them COMPLETELY and then Selenium tone them. This will protect them more but high UV will tend to fade almost anything.

If they begin to fade very quickly, you are not keeping them in the fixer long enough, or the fixer you are using isn't good anymore. Use fresh fixer and fix longer. Wash well afterwards.
