Post Mortem by Graculus (PG)

Howdy! My name is [livejournal.com profile] georgiesmith and I'll be driving The Man from U.N.C.L.E. van for October.  I know some of you are probably already tired of me after a whole September of my pestering you via the NCIS van, but I live in hope that there are a few folks out there who will discover or rediscover a favorite piece of fan fiction through my recommendations.

Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo / Illya Kuryakin
Length: approximately 4,300 words
Author on LJ:  [livejournal.com profile] graculus 
Author Website: The Grotto
Why this must be read: I was shocked to discover that this marvelous piece hadn't been rec'd here before. (Shocked, I tell you!) In this fantastic tale, Mr. Waverly has just passed away but his soul is still stuck on the Earthly plane, specifically bound to Napoleon Solo, and he needs to discover why. We watch Napoleon's transition to Number One, Section One throughout  that first difficult day with Waverly as our guide through his observations and ruminations on both Solo and Kuryakin as agents and as men. It's just a lovely piece of writing from one of my favorite authors.

Great story but I'm having trouble with links too. Perhaps the author's site has a problem with bandwidth. I tried to get to some of her other stories and got "can't connect" errors. Then hit the Back button to get to the story I'd just read and found the same thing. I entered the link into "Down For Everyone" and it looks as if http://www.btinternet.com/ is down right now.

Perhaps your rec has caused a run on her site! LOL. Thanks for the story, and I'll check out her site in a couple of days for more.
