Why this must be read:

This fic combines the zany plots, over-the-top characters, and general goofiness of the best episodes of the series, but with some wonderfully light-hearted sexual tension and happy resolution. There's no angst here, just hijinks and cuteness. The banter between Napoleon and Illya is great, and Napoleon's city-boy squeamishness on the farm was absolutely delightful.

Excerpt:

"You don't seem to be very fond of rural life," Napoleon noted. "What made you move out here in the first place?"

"Well, it was Charles' dream to own a little B&B in the country. Who am I to deny him his dream? Besides, I'd follow the lug anywhere. You know how it is. You know, I felt a great deal like Eva Gabor. Good-BYE, city life!" He said with a wave as he turned on heel and closed the door behind him.

Napoleon raised his eyebrows at Illya. "And I'm sure he just adores a penthouse view," he said in an odd mixed imitation of Gabor and Danny's camp accent.

Oh, ta for the rec! I am quite proud of this little piece and have been well pleased with the response.

Comparing it to "the best episodes of the series" is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about one of my fics.
