Countdown by Sarah (G)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: ambiguously slashy...Napoleon/Illya, depending on your interpretation

Author's Website: archives can be found atwiccaficca as well as the original fic communities (in this case, muncle)
Why this must be read:
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this piece is my favorite variation on "the Lady and the Tiger" paradox, although such a label doesn't give the author anywhere near enough credit for the subtle comprehensiveness of this character study and sheer urgency of Sarah's tone. I'm amazed by (and envious of) authors who need so few words to convey the complex emotionality of a situation. Sarah's captured the spirit of our guys with relatively little dialogue and the unspoken dynamics of their relationship. Lazy and cliché as this sounds, less often is more.
