Cherchez la Femme by Shay Sheridan (PG)
Fandom: MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: Solo/Kuryakin
Author on LJ: shayheyred

Hi there. I'm Susan and I'm your Man From Uncle guide this month. I hope to alternate between some humerous works and some works looking at the relationship between the two men. Here's the first.
Why this must be read:
"Napoleon is a slave to his libido." That's Shay's summary on her website and it gives you an idea of how the story is going to go.
Shay has been recommended several times before for some deep, powerful stories in which the characters discover their love and affection for each other. This story isn't one of them. :) Instead, it's a delightful little romp.
In this story Napoleon unexpectedly learns about a hidden, and very interesting, side of Illya.
I love the story not only for the plot, but because the dialog is so funny. I'm recommending it so people can discover how well Shay writes humor.
Unfortunately I can't quote my favorite passages without giving away the plot. So I'll just go for one from the beginning of the story to give you a feel for the writing.
. . .hmm. . .there was that woman again.
Quite unaware of his actions, he'd managed to move right up behind her, close enough to admire the gently rounded swell of her derriere and the length of her legs in proportion to her torso. He was hypnotized by the twitch of her hips as she moved through the crowd, the flip of her long blonde hair as she tossed her head. Damn. She looked good from the back, that was for certain. Unless her face looked like a crack in a pie, Napoleon was prepared to move in for the kill.
