Iron Pokers Into True-Love Knots, by Kadorienne (R)
Direct Link: Iron Pokers Into True-Love Knots
Fandom: From Eroica With Love
Pairing: Dorian/Klaus

Why this must be read: The real hassle with recommending Kadorienne is choosing which fic to rec - she has extensive knowledge of canon (not an easy thing to do with a manga series that is mostly untranslated), and a particularly lovely interpretation. While I have several favorites among her fics besides this one, it seemed like a good introduction. Kadorienne gets you right inside Klaus' head and tells you why it is, exactly, that an uptight German NATO officer would be in a difficult position if he found himself in love with a certain English thief.
cesperanza wrote briefly that the difficulty with writing romance today is the lack of obstacles facing characters contemplating a relationship. This is not the case with the Eroica fandom, which chiefly takes place during the 70's within the confines of NATO. So when our heroes manage to overcome all the difficulties in their way, the happy ending is that much sweeter - and Kadorienne excels in that department.
