The Boys From Berlin Affair by Cord Smithee (NC-17)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: None
Why this must be read: I think the thing I like most about this story is how the Affair and the culmination of Napoleon and Illya's relationship are so neatly intertwined. The outcome of one hinges on the other. There's really no separation between their personal lives and the job they do because what they do is very much who they are. That, in fact, is the underlining theme of the story as it applies to Illya. Thrown into turmoil by what he learns about himself, his vulnerability never overpowers his strength, mainly because his work and his partner are an anchor he can hold onto.
Add in the unerring characterization and the fantastic sex-scenes Cord does so well, and you have one truly enjoyable story.
