The Cascade Affair, by Arctapus/theyodeler (NC17)
Sensine here - checking in late, due to a horrible thunderstorm.
Fandom: The Man from UNCLE/The SENTINEL
Pairing: Illya/Napoleon and Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: Not known
Author Website: Not know, the story can be found on this site: http://www.squidge.org/~peja/manfromuncle/slash.htm
Why this must be read:
I would guess some of you have missed out on this story since it’s a crossover, but give it a chance even if you are of the kind that doesn’t normally read that. If you are unfamiliar with the Sentinel, check out the intro to the fandom here.
Since this is a crossover, it gives you double value for your money. Napoleon and Illya and Jim and Blair! I have a weakness for Sentinel fandom, since it was the first slash fandom I followed online while the show was still running. Robert Vaughn was a guest star in one episode, The Read Deal.
In this story both pairings are established, there’s not a problem with their private life per se. But oh! There’s trouble in abundance.
I must warn you: this is a serious story. It has an intricate plot, weaving its way through more than forty years and over several continents. The pov varies; but in the end everything comes together. Some may say this is too painful to read, but if you like a long involved story with a complex plot, this is the story for you. A 124 KB story. And rest assured – I wouldn’t rec a story without a hopeful/good end. In short: shit happens – there’s blame to go around – but in the end what’s done is done and nobody can change the past. The plot is just so believable and realistic, despite the – well – special premises.
Illya Kuryakin crossed the plaza, moving to stand outside the small shop into which the mark had disappeared. It was old, filled with oddities and a few tourists looking for bargains. He ached to go inside and grab the young Englishman who had led them on such a merry chase. However, given the gravity of their assignment, he didn’t dare. Across the way, standing with a nonchalance you can only be born with, Napoleon Solo waited.
Kuryakin moved back, walking to a newsstand to peruse the papers on display. He had lost track of how many languages he could speak, fluency being among the many intellectual strong points he exhibited. He pretended to look at the news until a familiar figure exited the shop. Turning, watching over the top of his sunglasses, Illya nodded to Napoleon and waited until the handsome brunet was in front of him. Purchasing a copy of Pravda, he picked up the rear, moving off after Solo leisurely. Watching him go, two men stood in the shop doorway, noting both of their presence.
Turning, nodding to his companion, one of the men slipped back inside. The other, moving off down the sidewalk, followed Illya Kuryakin at a distance.
There's lots more to be said, both about this story and about RV's performance in the Sentinel episode ;), but...
Lock the door, unplug the phone, brew your tea and read!
