House of Cards by Flora (NC-17)

[periwinkle27.livejournal.com]

Last rec of the month!

Fandom: Man From UNCLE
Pairing: Solo/Kuryakin
Author on LJ: frau_flora
Author Website: See The Vault on Ravenslair
Why this must be read:
A lovely, somewhat angsty, look at Illya's needs and his sublimation of them, followed by hot sex when he finally gives in to them. 

All in all, Illya thought his life tolerable.

But all the time deep down inside he knew that he had merely built a house of cards that could tumble down with the slightest breeze if the wind came from the right direction. And he dreaded the day when the inevitable would happen.

Apparently that day had come.

Thank you for some excellent recs. I've got some great fic now lined up for the holidays!

[periwinkle27.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And I never even got to the Down the Chimney stories I wanted to do.

Oh wow, thank you! You really made my day with that rec. It feels good to know someone likes what I write. ;-)

[periwinkle27.livejournal.com]

You've been rec'd before haven't you?

I just love the style of the story and the way it conveys his inner struggle.

[frau-flora.livejournal.com]

Well yes, but it can't happen too often, can it? ;-)

BTW would you be free (or, in Illya's words, available) to beta my DtC story again this year? I'm hoping to have it ready in about a week. So far there's little more than the title, though. :-(

I think I'll be free. I still have to write my own. But you're quick to beta, as you know grammar so I should be able to manage it. And you know I like to beta

Great! Which email address do you want me to send it to?

[periwinkle27.livejournal.com]

um, the one I don't want to mention here? (grin)
Actually I check all my addresses daily except CarriageHillPress. But the gmail one is the one I use the most

Okay, will do. Expect it around Sunday.
