Why this must be read:
Full disclosure: I am theoretically married to all of his MFU fics, so it is rather selfish of me to promote his stories. I don't care. Every one of his works is spot on brilliant no matter what the length; the shorter works (such as the previously rec'd Baker's Dozen and the Rules) are powerful in their economical use of language, but the longer works are a delight without being a word too long. Although he writes the best repartee you could imagine (not to mention situational humor), the tension created in Salem is enough to leave you breathless. This may be the most believable story ever written about Illya outing himself as gay to UNCLE at large. An unforgettable Waverly (so much for the sentimental grandmother of the year self-description), brutal honesty and political plays, catalyzed by a finely written OFC, and you have a chain reaction you're not going to forget.
Someone please kidnap him so that he'll write MFU again! Just kidding. Sort of...
