"Two Hawks, Dancing" by Debra Hicks (R?)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Author on LJ: none that I can find
Author Website: none that I can find, but her MfU stories are available on File40.net
Why this must be read:
Illya takes a broken Napoleon to an UNCLE safe house to recover from Thrush torture and apparently self-induced withdrawal from the world.
What price would Napoleon pay to protect those he loves? Is it really worth that price? Most importantly, would the people he's protecting accept such a steep forfeit?
Napoleon and Illya depend on each other nearly daily during the series to keep themselves alive, and that has to have created a bond that would rend the remaining partner to pieces if the worst should ever happen. Not that the worst quite happens in this story, but it's a close call.
I love this story. I love that Debra runs with the idea of how one partner would deal with losing the other without physically losing him, and I love that the characters I read in this story are the same strong men I see on the screen when I'm watching an episode, even when one is nearly broken.
