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.

You know, given that I've never even seen this show, I have no idea why I keep reading your recs, but I do, so thank you. They've all been awesome.

Gah! That was potent... I feel quite hot and bothered right now. Will probably have nice, smutty dreams, too. :D

I remember when I stumbled on that story : I was all over the web trying to find other fics by the author. There were none to have : it's the only MFU story she wrote (as far as I know).
It's a pity: she has the voices down pat, and even if we don't get into Illya's head, the way Napoleon sees him is very satisfying .
As I said, too bad there's no other...

:-) You're most welcome.

Now you have to tell me where your nick "deepsix" comes from. There's a MFU ep by that name!

Maybe I can pimp you further by showing you some UNCLE wallpaper. Napoleon and Illya have such cool names...but wait till you see their faces:

The best type of dreams to have!

Frottage in a shower with your clothes half on sounds more messy than sexy...but that edge of desperation in the story made it very hot.

Be sure to send feedback!

Yeah, it's the only that I know of too. Such a shame...

If you check out her site, she seems to write 1, maybe 2, stories in a fandom, and that's it. It's as if her 'muse' moves on once she's written a story for a particular fandom. Very curious. But I agree, she is a very good writer. What she lacks in output she makes up in quality.

She's the "one story wonder" :)
I read one other fic from her site : "Wheat from chaff".
I never was interested in the show, but the fic was intense.
As for the others fandom, I confess that I can't imagine Sherlock Holmes in a sexual situation at all, and my image of Hornblower comes from C.S. Forrester's books (and Gregory Peck). I can't see the pretty boy I saw in the TV serie as Hornblower at all. And Pros does nothing for me either unless it's a crossover with MFU.
I'm limited that way :)

Oh, man. The absolute last thing I need right now is another fandom, but now I really, really want to see this show. Really a lot. I totally should have seen this coming. heh.

I actually got "deepsix" from a Matthew Good Band song of the same name, because I couldn't think of anything else at the time. Not terribly interesting, I know. :)

I've seen "Wheat from Chaff" recced quite a bit...but I can't imagine Scott and Kelly in a slash relationship, and the show never did that much for me either. I kinda envy those who can enjoy a story without knowledge of the source material, but I find it very hard. I need background to work with :-(

I'm still ashamed over my Pros ignorance. I *still* get Bodie and Doyle mixed up, and the ultra-gritty-seriousness of the show doesn't do much for me. But I did like the theme music!!

" I'm still ashamed over my Pros ignorance. I *still* get Bodie and Doyle mixed up"

Same for me : glad to know I'm not alone in that boat.
I never even saw the show: we don't see much british show in French Canada.
The only one I remember from the 60s is "The Avengers". I still think Ms Peel is the coolest woman I ever saw on tv.

Can't imagine Kelly and Scotty in a slash relationship?

*pause to let boggling lessen*

I Spy was a hard sell for me at the beginning, too. I had to get over anti-Cosby-ness (the goofy guy mugging at the camera, eating Jell-O pudding image had etched itself into my brain), but it didn't take long, because I Spy is one of the slashiest shows ever made, and just a *good*, well-written, well-acted, groundbreaking show. You should give it a try, really. It's all out on DVD. And if you contact Dorinda, she'll probably give you specific recs.

I do remember watching I Spy. There is no doubt that the guys had a strong affection for each other. But I never had the urge to see either of them naked and sweaty...maybe because Napoleon and Illya were so much prettier.

But I did love the theme music. Must look out for the DVDs. Thanks for the heads up!

I really should see more Avengers!! I did love what I saw of Ms. Peel. Cool and unflappable and so much in control. She had the measure of everyone, Steed included. And he loved her for it...which was so sweet.

New fandom! New fandom! You know you want to!!

Hmm. I wonder if the songwriters know MfU. It's just an unusual use of words: "Deep Six". Hmmm. You will seem very 'in-the-know' with a nick like that.

You should go and look at

muncle. There is mutterings about starting a lending library of eps. I'm sure they can help you get started ;-)

You mean you haven't seen the show?
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...

I don't know where the song title comes from, but I have since discovered that to deep-six something is to get rid of or abandon it. So it could just be a lucky coincidence, but I do love to be able to fake my way through things I know nothing about. :D

And thank you! I'll go check that out. I have no willpower when it comes to new fandoms.

I have seen a handful of eps when they were screened in Australia after midnight. But it was very erratic. The show was obviously filler between other programs.

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