I Hate South America by GM (G)

Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Illya/Napoleon
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Solo Sojourn

Why this must be read:
I thought that this month I'd try to bring attention to some authors that haven't been mentioned much in the past. Gina Martin (gm) is one. By my count she has over 70 stories posted on the web, most of them at Solo Sojourn, and yet she's only been mentioned once on [livejournal.com profile] crack_van.

I picked one of her shorter stories here because I liked her use of banter and the camaraderie between the men -- she captures the tone of the series.

To give you an example:

“HMMPH.” From Kuryakin, the non-verbal noise was an expressive insult. “I don’t trust you.”

Affecting a wounded countenance, Napoleon straightened and placed a palm against his heart. “You wound me, Illya. Your buddy, your long-time partner –“

“A natural born liar,” he shot back mercilessly, blue eyes sharp and narrowed.

“I’m deeply insulted. I was not a born liar, I only perfected the craft when I became a spy.”
