Kiss and Tell by Blondie (NC-17)

Title: Kiss and Tell
Fandom: The Man From UNCLE
Pairing: Napoleon/Illya
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Some of her stories at CAGM
Why this must be read:

I have to confess that I, as an asexual, tend to gloss over sex scenes in fic and therefore don't tend to rec stories with a lot of sex in them. There are many other reviewers who are far better at noticing those things, anyway :) This piece by Blondie (and pretty much all of her other work), however, was too much fun to pass up and basically begged to be rec'd. This first time story is fantastically plausible with sizzling chemistry and dry wit, the way the best episodes were. There's an infectious playfulness of language, and our characters' clever mischief makes Napoleon and Illya more irresistible than ever. As sensual and glossy as this story is, there's some genuinely intriguing relationship dynamics and intimacy issues that keep you begging for more.
