For Auld Aquaintance by Barbara Zuchegna (PG)

First of all, hello and sorry to be so late. I am your Man from Uncle driver for this month but due to a witty combination of moving house and technological incompetence it's taken me a while to get up and running.

My recs are going to be gen as well as slash and will tend to be Ilya centric - this is my revenge on the writers of the Green Opal Affair.

Why this must be read:

This was the very first piece of fan fiction I ever read and as such is included partly for reasons of nostalgia. BUT it is still good, I either love or hate AU and this is the best kind. It logically extrapolates out from the series to a future where Thrush have achieved their aims and shows the different responses of Ilya and Napoleon. It is fairly short but packs in a credible back story, character exploration and plot.

"Kuryakin has been captured!"

It started as a whisper, a rumor of sound, directionless and insubstantial. Everybody heard it, but nobody knew where it had come from. Everyone who heard it got it from someone who had heard it from someone else, and no one could pin down where it had started"
