Why this must be read:

This first-time fic falls into the "I can't believe it hasn't been recced before" category. Picking up from the end of The Bat Cave Affair (author provides a pre-fic synopsis, so don't worry if you've missed the ep!), In the author's words, "Illya's suffering odd side effects from one of the bat bites he got while a prisoner in Count Zark's bat cave." While it has an outrageous plot that could suitable for UNCLE at it's craziest and 'campiest' (not a bad thing at all!), this story is different in that it's dark and sensual and deeply bewitching.

I can't believe it's not been recced before either :) It's a great read.

Believe it or not, there's a gen version also, for those who prefer not to read slash (though I think the slash version is more powerful in this case):

Sorry about that, I must've mis-copied the link. It's working now (I hope). Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the link! I had no idea there was another version. Just like our fandom to cater for all audiences :) I've added your link to the entry *runs off to read gen)*

Read the gen version on this and found it uniquely powerful. Never seen this one before, and it was great to get to read something new to me!

Thanks for the rec!

Anything by RAC is great in my book. I first discovered her several years ago and then read all her works at once. I can't believe it's... etc.

Thanks! I kept telling myself to rec this story but never got around to it. It's probably my favorite MFU story.
