Summary
The coffee machine is broken.
Illya stares at the piece of paper stuck over the front of it, the smiley face drawn underneath the damming Out of Order as if it somehow helps. The little touch display on the top refuses to light up, no matter how many times he pokes it.
Illya stares longingly at the broken machine, and then does what he normally does when he finds a problem he can’t immediately fix.
There’s a freshly painted sign over the café opposite as they jimmy the back door open and slip outside, elegant cursive that’s only just readable. “Solo’s,” Gaby reads aloud. “Well, let’s see what they’ve got.”

Summary
Illya sets the file down on the counter between them. The sound echoes through the shop.
A mug is placed down in front of him. Napoleon presses a quick kiss to his cheek and then he’s back into the chaos behind the counter. Illya watches him work for a long moment, watching his hands as he makes coffee after coffee. His book is forgotten in his lap.
He remembers the coffee in front of him when Napoleon sends a grin his way and picks it up from the table. It’s perfect, as always.
The story about what happens after.

Summary
There are three rules to surviving at UNCLE.
One: Waverly knows. Whatever secret you think you can keep from him, whatever little thing you think isn’t worth his time, he already knows. Two: you might think that out of Illya Kuryakin and Gaby Teller, out of all the stories you must have heard of them, that Illya is the one you need to be careful of. You would be wrong.
Three: Solo's coffee shop is ours. Disrupt it, and you will forfeit your place here. Harm him in any way, and there's no point even trying to run.
