The More Innocent Than Usual Affair By Wiccagirl24 (PG-13)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: NS/IK, the barest hint of slash
Author on LJ: wiccagirl24
Author website: Author's fiction is here on Fanfiction.net
Why this must be read:
Classic Man from U.N.C.L.E. stories have a three corner structure: there’s the agents, the villains and the Innocent. When producer Norman Felton came up with the original concept, he imagined the Innocent would be an identity character for the audience. For home viewers, this promoted a fantasy that at any moment, Solo and Kuryakin might suddenly show up on their doorstep and wisk them away into an exciting adventure in which they might bravely help save the world.
In other words, in MFU, “Mary Sue” is canon.
In the 1960s, quite a number of viewers were children and so some of the Innocents were children as well. For example, fans fondly remember a sprightly, 10 year old Kurt Russell helping Solo track down the source of a deadly chemical that wiped out an entire Scottish village.
This story, which proceeds very much like an enjoyable first season episode, also features a child: sweet six year old Molly Parsons. The agents discover poor Molly hiding in a bedroom closet minutes after they encounter the corpses of her parents who have been shot, execution-style. It seems Thrush made Molly’s father, a scientist, an offer he couldn’t refuse ---only he did.
Now Solo and Kuryakin must find Dr. Parsons’ research before Thrush does and deliver Molly to the safety of U.N.C.L.E. HQ in New York.
Of course, they have to persuade her to leave the closet first --- not an easy task even for two resourceful agents.
