The KGB Spy by odinvatre (G)

[theladyrose.livejournal.com]

Fandom: THE MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: NS/IK gen
Author: odindvatre
Author Website: She posts her stories at muncle.
Why this must be read:

I'm a sucker for pieces that include the other staffers of UNCLE and their perspective on section two, and odindvatre keeps fueling my addiction with her humorous fly-on-the-wall slice-of-life pieces. odindvatre fleshes out the unsung heroes among the support staff and their charming, entertaining conspiracy theories about the true loyalties of our enforcement agents; I find myself wishing that my co-workers were as endearingly quirky as these UNCLE employees. She brilliantly subverts certain fanon clichés about Illya, his ethnic heritage and anti-Soviet sentiment in America almost entirely through dialogue, which is a feat in itself as we're never lost as to who's talking.

Would it be too manipulative to strongly encourage a sequel to this piece? :D
