“My Affair with Pale Rider and The Chin” by AJ Burfield (PG)

Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: ref to Napoleon/OFC, hints of Illya/OFC
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://ajsfanfictionlibrary.burfield.org
Why this must be read:

The allure of the makeover is the idea that the right clothes and hairstyle will dramatically change one’s life. This certainly turns out to be true for the narrator of this story, whose acquisition of a new outfit, a daring ’do, and (accidentally) a purse literally puts her between Illya and Napoleon. Unfortunately, she can’t really enjoy the situation, what with the gunfight and the high-speed chase...

I read this when it was first posted and still find it a cute story.

I liked this story too, the way it starts out comic but has a kind of melancholy insight. Plus it's where I live, so I recognized AJ's landmarks. ;)
