Sex, Lies and UNCLE by Annehiggins (Explicit)
My apologies in advance, Cousins. I am working from my laptop which is sadly lacking the favourites listings that I have on my descktop computer and I can't seem to find the All MFU Crack_Van Delicious page to check and see if this is a rerun, so if it is, I am heartily sorry. On the other hand it is a damn fine story and deserves a second go, I think, in case it is a rerun. Hawt slash is always in style, I say.
Fandom: THE MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: Illya/Napoleon
Length: 50,000+ words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: This was the only MFU story I found on AO3 by her
Why this must be read: Ok, the author note says that it is an updated timeline but other than Illya being only Russian and not actually a Soviet and a few mentions of flashdrives, this is so close to being just like correct!timeline!MFU that you won't notice it isn't. And yes, the beginning of the story is 'we had to do it for the mission' but the actual twisty turning plot will distract you from that right away. What I love about this story is that Waverly has a completely modern outlook on nondiscrimination policies and doesn't care who his agents sleep with as long as they do their jobs. That's a world I would like to live in. I also love the convoluted plot in the second half and how Illya outsmarts more than one bad guy. I love that the author never strays into 'Illya is weaker' territory and lets the characterization of our boys shine true. The hawt parts are hawt, I don't hate that either! This is a juicy (in SO many ways) piece with a great story to tell. Give it a try, I think you will enjoy the ride.
