Why this must be read:
Heck, I couldn't choose just one crossover to rec today. I've been surprised by the relative lack of inter-spy show crossovers for this fandom outside of a few involving the Impossible Mission Force and Hawaii Five-O. Surely there can only be so many megalomaniacs bent on world domination out there; you'd think that we'd see more agencies wanting to team up with an organization as international in scope as UNCLE.wiccagirl24 brings in Britain's top two "avengers of crimes extraordinary" working on the other end of a case that Illya and Napoleon have been pursuing; both pairs are remarkably similar in their knack for droll banter and understated tolerance for the absurd that just epitomizes cool. My favorite moments involve Illya and Emma Peel freeing themselves from yet another villain's dungeon - if Illya could ever meet his female match, Mrs. Peel would be the one. They share UST with their partners (oops, sorry, viewer projection here), an athletic bent and a true geek's passion for science. And I love how Napoleon and John Steed share their razor sharp professional assessments presented under a cloak of genial openess, their concern for their partners disguised as understated wit and that "fist in a black velvet glove" quality.
I'd trust either pair to save the world in style any day, but sometimes Four Heads are Better Than Two.
