    Summary

    It was two o’clock in the morning and Napoleon Solo was nursing a glass of exorbitantly expensive scotch when he came to the unfortunate conclusion that he was in love with a volatile Russian giant who had a penchant for smashing furniture.

    This was obviously a problem and one that would need to be remedied immediately.

    Alternate summary: 25 000 words of requited pining, or as Gaby would say, "stupid boys."

    Summary

    “I’m just hoping, you know, that this captain thing will just— I don’t know— make everything feel alive again,” Napoleon says, ripping apart a napkin, thrumming with restless energy, “I love hockey, I’ll always love it, I’ll always be it, but. God. I don’t know. Sometimes, it just feels like I’m skating in circles, seeing nothing but the same boards every time.”

    A fic about falling in love, depression, therapy and recovery, in an ice-hockey trench coat.

    Summary

    Illya has never in his life known any man so enthusiastically heterosexual as Napoleon. He’s not entirely sure he believes that a man so heterosexual as Napoleon could exist at all.

    Summary

    A car accident leads Illya Kuryakin back to Cambridge, as he tries to discover whether the woman he once married was put in harm's way because of him, or her own scientific pursuits. Meanwhile Napoleon attempts to make sense of Illya’s unusual relationship with his wife and her close friend.

    Summary

    “Look,” Solo tries again, “this little feud, or whatever, it’s stupid, right? Fuck all these people and their thirst for drama.” He gestures blindly behind him, and Illya can’t help but notice a few of their gawkers looking away, chastised. “Isn’t it time to move beyond all that?”

    Gaby is looking between them incredulously, clearly waiting for Illya’s response and expecting it to be a vehement fuck off. But the thing is, he has a point, doesn’t he? It’s not like Illya’s been blameless in their war. He has as much metaphorical blood on his hands as Solo does, and honestly it’s getting tiring. They have a lot in common, which is pretty much the problem, but that shouldn’t mean they’re destined to be mortal enemies. Even in academia.

    (Napoleon and Illya might disagree on pretty much everything, but with looming tenure decisions at their respective universities, the common ground they find leads to more than just an unexpected camaraderie.)
