Ow! by Meris (PG)

Fandom: MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: Napoleon/Illya
Author on LJ: Meris_mfu

Napoleon has been flirting and Illya is not happy. Especially because the female in question has managed to hit Solo so hard that she's loosened his teeth. And it's not helping that Napoleon claims that even though he was holding her hand, and even though he and the female have been in the Map Room he isn't flirting. Well, not exactly flirting. So Illya is determined to remind Napoleon that he does not share well.

Why this story must be read:
This is a very funny short story. You can sense the affection between the two men even when Illya is getting exasperated. They banter back and forth while Napoleon tries to convince Illya of his innocence and Illya tries to find out what Solo was really up to. Napoleon attempts to distract Illya by doing things like changing the subject, but Illya isn't falling for it. He knows Napoleon too well.

This story is unusual because it is written entirely in dialog. Meris does a good job of dropping clues in the quotes so that you can follow who is speaking.
