Pretender by Ardent (NC-17)

[lyrebird.livejournal.com]

Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Author on LJ: ardent_muses
Author Website: Ardent's Fiction

Why this must be read:
Sex leads to conflict as Napoleon seeks more than mutual masturbation from his partner's capable hands. Why is Illya being so cold and controlling? Why is Napoleon fantasising about Illya while in the company of other women?

In this steamy PWP, a tense showdown forces Napoleon to confront a humiliating truth, and Illya musters the courage to reveal his feelings...as well as what he really wants.

Good one! And it'd been so long since I'd read it, it was like reading something new.

Oh -it's a while since I read this one and I'd forgotten how wonderful it was. I just love the ending!

This is an intriguing take on NS/IK and a basic misunderstanding between them. The ending suggests they are still not quite on the same page. I'd like to read more.
