One More for the Road, by Nyssa (PG-13)
Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Author on LJ: not that I am aware of
Author Website: none that I am aware of
Why this must be read:
In the U.N.C.L.E. organization, you must retire from fieldwork when you reach the age of 40. Because Napoleon and Illya are about a year apart in age (in some stories they're quite a bit more than that, but many writers use the actual age difference between the actors as a guide) this means that Napoleon will have to leave fieldwork for a 'desk job' (taking over for Mr. Waverly in his case) before Illya has to, thus breaking up their working partnership. Although the show ended when the two agents are still in their early thirties, there are a lot of stories which extrapolate how the two of them would deal with this issue. This is one of my favorites. It has an evocative tone that really makes me think of the 1960's, it's emotional without being sappy, and I can hear the characters voices clearly in the dialogue.
