The Post Gurnius Affair by Ro Callahan (NC-17)
Fandom: MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: Napoleon/Illya
Author on LJ:
tiranog
Author Website: None that I know of, but a couple of her MfU fics can be found at The Chrome and Gunmetal Madhouse
Why this must be read: Because it's a classic story by one of the great multi-fandom slash writers.
"The Gurnius Affair" is a wrenching fourth season episode that has inspired some truly excellent fanfiction. In the episode, Illya goes undercover and ends up having to brutally torture a captured Napoleon or risk both their lives and the mission. They survive and complete the mission - but how do they reconcile what happened to them here? In "The Post Gurnius Affair", Rosemary suggests one way they might handle the emotional fallout. As you might expect, the solution involves sex, but this is no simple comfort sex fic. This is raw, primal sex with all the jagged edges of their strong personalities and competitive natures coming into play. There are several sequels to this story, but unfortunately they are not (yet!) online.
"Napoleon, are you all right?" Illya Kuryakin's voice called him back from the border of never-never land.
Forcing his weighed eyelids apart, Solo glanced across the drowsing journalist between him and his partner to where the Russian sat behind the driver's seat.
The blond was still wearing that damn Nazi uniform, the fake scar on his right cheek livid and ugly.
Shuddering as he remembered that same face smiling down at him as he writhed and cried out in agony as Kuryakin twisted the electric shock machine's control dial upwards to flood the American's bound body with even more current, Solo glanced quickly away.
"I'm fine," he answered too hastily. He could feel that probing blue gaze scouring the side of his averted face.
"Napoleon," Kuryakin's tone was uncharacteristically gentle as he hesitantly continued, "I... regret the pain I was forced to inflict upon you."
"It's all right," Solo gruffly dismissed.
"I feel... terribly responsible," the younger man admitted.
"It wasn't your fault, Illya. You had a role to play. If you hadn't played it so hard, Gurnius would have known you were a ringer for Nexus and we'd all be dead now." Although Solo knew the words to be true, emotionally he couldn't quite vanquish the memory of that torture scene from his mind. His partner had made such a chillingly efficient Nazi.
I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do.
