Tropes, tropes, tropes
Sep. 10th, 2022 11:58 pmAfter pitching head-first into Man from U.N.C.L.E. (TV) fandom, and inhaling a half-century of fic across a variety of websites, it surprised me to learn that there was a dearth of fic featuring more recent fandom tropes!
While MFU (TV) fandom practically wrote the primer on hurt/comfort fic (and a superb body of work it is, too), I didn't come across many soulmate stories, or woke-up-married fic, or that current fandom staple, omegaverse. Also absent was my favourite, the bodyswap trope, which - - in this fandom of mission hijinks and problem-solving and a troubleshooting spy duo who are ostensibly as different as chalk and cheese - - you would really have thought the fic would be primed to delve deeply into...
…Anyway, nature abhors a vacuum, and the heart wants what it wants. And, as such, behold my latest chaptered fic! Involving bodyswapping, and also discussions on the nature of the soul, Napoleon's body wearing a turtleneck, Illya's body wearing exploding underwear, dogs, seduction, boys in peril, and more pining than you could shake a stick at. (COMPLETE.)
The Turnabout Affair (…because The Bodyswap Affair would be too on-the-nose ;-) )
Napoleon/Illya, [Mature]. No archive warnings apply.
On a mission, Napoleon and Illya accidentally trigger a mind transference device, and discover something they should have known all along.

I will say, MFU (TV) fandom does a good line in injuryfic! Here is my own there-was-only-one-bed injuryfic - - if you were into something smuttier, and also complete. Written for
smut4smut.
The Dangerous Pleasures Affair
Napoleon/Illya, [Explicit]. Depictions of aftermath of violence.
Illya has rescued Napoleon from the usual dangers of THRUSH captivity. But there’s nothing more dangerous than having to take care of his partner in the way Napoleon wants him to.

Come join me in the MFU (TV) handbasket, and enjoy 60 delicious years' worth of fannish output! Or, you know, create your own ;-)
ETA: Turnabout is now complete! With an explicit scene that you may skip and not lose plot or outcome, if that was your preference.
