Debts by Taliesin (G)

Fandom: THE MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: pre-slash, depending on your interpretation
Author on LJ: I don't think Taliesin has one
Author Website: Taliesin's Reach
Why this must be read:

I've been meaning to rec a first time partnership story for ages, but a lot of the ones I had in mind were already rec'd. I've also been wanting to rec one of Taliesin's stories as she's one of the authors whose works hooked me into this fandom, but it was challenging to find one that wasn't already rec'd. Debts features her perfect blend of swiftly moving action and intrigue, banter and spot-on characterizations. This pre-UNCLE Illya is no KGB/GRU honeytrap, traumatized war victim or egghead scientist; he's just as sardonic, clever and consummately professional as we see on the show. This isn't to say that Napoleon is a milquetoast agent, either; between quips, Taliesin illustrates how their working styles complement each other perfectly. I could seriously imagine their first encounter and developing partnership playing out this way.
