The Welsh Rabbit Affair by Vicky Loebel (PG-13)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: None (Gen)
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Loebel-Clark Home Page
Why this must be read:
I hesitated between "Early Days Affair" and this one and eventually decided for the rabbits! (but don't be shy, read both; you won't regret it). I chose to favour the fancy over the more serious stuff (though there is the same sharp wit in both) because it's not so easy to blend humour with action, suspense and mystery and there are not so many examples of the sort in MFU fanfiction.
For this is a real action/adventure story, with all the required ingredients (danger, thrill, surprises, villains), faithful to the show's spirit (two innocents, a convincing characterization, a brisk pace and the expected banters between competitive partners), quite reminding of the third season light tone without the silliness. Add a big dose of SF and a pungent, show off, rather obnoxious original character and you'll have the recipe of "The Welsh Rabbit Affair" for your greatest pleasure.
As the author writes: "When bunnies start popping up in strange places around U.N.C.L.E. Headquarters, where else could Napoleon and Illya expect to find themselves but on the other side of the looking glass?"
So, jump with them through the looking glass and have fun.
