“The Mating Habits Affair” by Aithine (NC-17)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Illya/Napoleon

Why this must be read:
A charming epilogue to “The Girls of Nazarone Affair,” in which Napoleon and Illya speedily divest themselves of the Innocent in favor of private fun and games. The image of the two agents chasing each other around a hotel room is both plausible and delightful. As Illya reflects (while leaping over beds and shoving chairs into Napoleon’s path), “It had been odd, in the beginning, having a chase that consisted of two predators and no prey—but we'd gotten used to it. We were too much the other's equal to be anything but ourselves when we were together.” Doesn’t that sound just like them? And I love Napoleon’s impromptu zoological lecture when he traps Illya against a window: “And over here we have the fascinating and very rare Illyus kuryakinus, believed to be the only living example of its kind. Take note of the unusual markings of the dominant and predatory male, the flashy coloring and the prominent genitalia.”
