Hello everybody, I'm back to drive the Man from UNCLE crack van for the second time. I hope you enjoy the drive, I'll try to vary the recs a little, I read slash and gen (even if I do tend towards slash most of the time *g*) but I have to have good banter between the guys and a semi-plausible plot. Well, if the UNCLE writers can legitimately try to pass of "death by hiccups" in one episode, I'm pretty sure the fans can come up with better LOL
On with the show!

File 40Why this must be read:This fic features canon UNCLE villains, which I always love. The marvellously evil Dr. Egret makes an appearance in this one, and hypnotises Illya. This fic has snark, humour and captures the essense of the boys' relationship even without the slash part. They quip at each other exactly how they do in the episodes and even though there's no real plot, it's a hoot to read.
Here's an excerpt:
Serena came to my side and shoved my sleeve above my biceps. There was no possibility of escaping whatever they had planned for me, so I simply concentrated on making my mind a blank. I winced as Egret shoved the needle into my arm none too gently, then seated herself in front of me in a chair that matched my own. She stared into my eyes and appeared to grit her teeth in order to speak in a gentle tone.
"Now listen closely, Illya. I want you to relax and listen to my voice. Only my voice."
They must be joking.
