Why this must be read:
Reccing this displays a little bit of my own bias, I suppose, but when I first read this fic it impressed me and made me wicked jealous as a writer. It's short, but complicated and twisty and utterly bizarre, which is what I like out of a story. And yet, even though it's strange, it's still not out of character, as it deals with two of the more neglected aspects of the fanfiction worlds of U.N.C.L.E. and Thrush: bureaucracy and psychoactive drugs, and where the two intersect. It manages to be both funny and creepy, and I love this characterization of Napoleon that thinks to ask the enemy secretary out onto a date with him and Illya.
Also, I jumped back from my screen when I saw that MS Paint worm.
Excerpt:
"Yeah," Shelley says into the phone, "test subject D is doing all right." She glances at Napoleon. He nods and smiles, pleased that Illya is OK. "Exhibiting signs of apparent attention deficit," she adds, "otherwise appears to be normal, or attempting normal behavior." She lowers her voice. "He says he drew me a worm. I don't know what that means."
