Transitions by Nataliya (PG-13)

Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin (mild)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cousinnat
Author Website: some of her stories can be found at File 40 here and others at The Chrome and Gunmetal Madhouse here.

Why this must be read:

This post-series story does a superb job with the familiar theme of Napoleon’s promotion out of the field and behind a desk. All of the formal traditions and informal gestures marking this change feel like they could have happened in canon. With gentle humour and understated grace, Nataliya explores how even the most positive changes bring regrets, especially when it means two close people no longer move in the same world. Transitions always leaves me smiling, for while Napoleon learns that he can’t turn back the clock, he also becomes aware of what really matters to him.

And that's it for me this month, I had a great time pushing MfU. (subliminal message "Buy the DVDs!") Thanks for tuning in!
