The Man from U.N.C.L.E./The Wild, Wild West
Title: The Night of the Missing Cattle Affair by RAC
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin, James West/Artemus Gordon
Author on LJ: none
Author Website: http://www.visionsofprettyboys.com/home.htm
Why this must be read: It says a lot about how much I enjoy Rac's writing that I'm reccing a story that includes WWW. I remember enjoying the show when it aired years ago but the slash pairing has never done anything for me. Yet, while it's Napoleon and Illya I read the story for, I was able to somehow get just as involved with what Jim and Artie were going through. Almost a hundred years separate their worlds, yet both pair of men must face the same problems a relationship like theirs engender.
But that's only half the story; there's still the Affair itself. And it works, the entire scenario as to how the men happen to meet and join forces. Both shows tended toward the fantastic, so it wouldn't have been much of a stretch on either show for their protagonists to end up in exactly the situation they do here. It's like an episode I missed and am only now reading about. A long and truly enjoyable story.
