Small Distances by Lee the T (NC17)
Has it been a month already? I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed driving the surveillance van for “Man from U.N.C.L.E.” and recommending some really terrific stories. It’s also been wonderful to get to talk with so many people. Really, it’s been such a joyful experience that I think everyone should go and sign up, and take a turn behind the wheel at

Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin

Why this must be read:
In the 60s and 70s, it seemed that every time you turned around, amnesia was being used as a bad plot point on TV. Using that convention, Lee the T takes a tired, old device and injects it with new life, skillfully making it the impetus behind getting our favorite U.N.C.L.E. agents into bed together.
Lee the T has an absolutely uncanny ability to capture tiny moments of characterization through a piece of dialog or the slightest of gestures that just cuts right to the heart of who these people are: complex, flesh and blood men, who happen to be ruthlessly efficient agents, who are able to do the job they do because the other is at their side. As Napoleon helps Illya get back his memory, they find out just how much they mean to each other, but nothing is trite in Lee’s dexterous hands; it all rings true. And the sex is hot, too; fast and urgent and passionate.
"Napoleon..."
Napoleon turned. "Hm?"
"The man who shot me ..."
Napoleon examined his face, said, "He's dead."
"Did I kill him?"
The familiar icy tone tickled up Napoleon's spine. "No, partner. You were otherwise occupied. I killed him for you."
Illya considered how he felt about this. "Good."
Napoleon grinned. "That's my Illya. Sweet dreams."
Dasvydanya!
