hilsNapoleon/Illya (The Man From UNCLE (TV))
Time Lapse by elfin
It all gets too much.
Lovely exploration of their relationship and how it develops over the years
Waging World Peace by alex51324
"There is something you should know before making a final decision.”
“I’m already aware he’s Russian, sir,” Napoleon said. “And he’s still on good terms with them, so he must at least technically be a Communist.”
Waverly brushed that aside. “All of the Russian agents are. Kuryakin, however, is also an admitted homosexual.”
Wonderful relationship development that feels very inkeeping with the time period
Acts of Sabotage by blondie54x
Illya Kuryakin had to admit it, he couldn’t have planned things better himself. He’d never have such a golden opportunity again: two weeks in Napoleon Solos apartment, sharing Napoleon Solo’s bed — in a purely platonic way, of course. Napoleon himself had said it: what are friends for in times of need?
This is cute and fun
Illya/Napoleon (The Man From UNCLE (Movie))
Love in the Times of Cold War by merle_p
“Don’t blame yourself,” Waverly says, almost kindly. “No one saw it coming.”
Illya looks down at him, surprised and perhaps a little condescending, because he knows better than to blame himself, and he doesn’t understand why Waverly thinks he would. Solo is good at what he does, one of the best, and Illya has always been more than aware that Solo could trick him if he really set his mind to it.
No, Illya does not blame himself for not seeing the signs. If there is anything he should blame himself for, it is that he let himself assume that he wouldn’t have to look for them in the first place. But socialism is a future-oriented ideology, and there is no point in dwelling on the past. Illya has made a mistake, is all. He is not going to make it again.
Great read full of angst and feelings
Mutually Assured Distraction by merle_p
"Why didn't you, then?" she asks, a reasonable question, and he turns his face towards the window, watches the Valencian night rush by.
"I was distracted," he says.
She is quiet for a while.
Distracted by whom?" she finally asks, and he keeps his eyes on the window.
"I do not know." It is a lie, and he is sure that Gaby knows it is a lie, but she is kind enough not to point that out.
Another one full of pining and feelings.

What Wind Is To Fire by justjasper
"Our time at Skyhold rather spoilt us with the idea of what we could have had, in a simpler life."
