Author Website: More stories by each author can be found on MFU Archive
Why this must be read: This pair of stories is a "call and response" fic, where the authors set up one cohesive premise and then each took an angle from a different one of the two U.N.C.L.E. agents' perspectives.
The tales show both agents in the midst of sessions with an U.N.C.L.E. psychiatrist after a particularly harrowing mission. Illya was captured and badly hurt, but Napoleon managed to rescue his friend. Just the usual? Not quite...
ON THE COUCH is Napoleon's session with the psychiatrist in which we find out he can't... or rather won't... sleep after the end of the mission. But why? Everything turned out okay in the end, right?
MIND GAME is Illya's session with the psychiatrist. He was rescued and, though hurt, the mission was completed successfully. So nothing out-of-the-ordinary to overly concern him, right?
The two stories juxtaposition each other beautifully, giving us a whole that evokes emotions involving personal guilt and feelings of possible betrayal both men initially keep hidden under the surface.
