Why this must be read:
Because it’s hot. And stunningly well-written. Not to mention a fascinating peak into Napoleon’s thought processes.

The two men fall into bed together after a mission in Belgium. It isn’t planned, more of a release of adrenaline, but it’s spectacular and causes Illya to wonder what he’s been missing all these years. So Illya starts investigating possibilities while Napoleon tries not to let it bother him. Unfortunately Napoleon's not sure what his partner is up to, and he’s spending many a restless night wondering.

[Illya] rustled together a stack of papers and dropped them into the basket on his desk, then stood and picked up his jacket from his chair's back. "That's it, I'm finished for today. Good evening, Napoleon, I hope your date goes well."

"Yours, too," Napoleon answered, then looked up from his desk. "Illya?"

Illya turned from where he was making the day's final entries in the check-pad at the door.

"Yes?"

"About...Belgium."

"Napoleon—"

Napoleon shook his head. "Hear me out. Even if you're not worried about it, I want to assure you, what happened then, that was a...matter of circumstance. One that won't be repeated."
"You can guarantee such circumstances will never arise again?" Illya inquired skeptically.
"No, but if they do, trust me to have a little self-control," Napoleon said.

Illya looked still more skeptical. "So, even if another opportunity presented itself, you'd refuse?"

"It won't happen again," Napoleon promised.

"A shame," Illya said, and left the office before Napoleon could drag up his dropped jaw to articulate a reply.
