The Fusion Affair by Dorinda (NC-17)
Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Author on LJ: not that I know of
Author Website: Dorinda's Bare Bones Page
Why this must be read:
Napoleon is saddled with a new partner, and he's not too happy about it. There's a delightful whimsical tone to his introspections as he muses on the loss of his freedom.
The tomcat at last had a collar and leash. The stallion had been put into harness. The anointed heir to Alexander Waverly's throne had been given a mandatory playmate. Waverly himself had beckoned with his wand (all right, his pipe, but the effect was the same) and made it happen, and that meant there just wasn't anything to be done about it.
However, everything changes as Napoleon and Illya seem to forge a mental union in order to escape from Thrush. Or did they? Is this 'fusion' real, or is Napoleon imagining things?
It's funny and intriguing and there's this lovely half-clothed scene in the shower. There isn't much banter, but that's only because they've found a more elemental way to get their point across.

Re: The Fusion Affair
There's no slash in it, not even het. One might think there's a romantic interest between Steed and Ms Peel, but it's very understated, in a genteel kind of way. And when Diana Rigg left the serie, you felt there was regret for things undone.
I bought all the dvds with Diana Rigg on a 40 year old memory of Ms Peel...

So I'd love to see more. I love that flirtatious yet restrained chemistry they had going.
