Man from UNCLE: The Secret Santa Affair by rabidsamfan

The Secret Santa Affair (Illya/Napoleon | PG13 | 3,436 words): Illya is Napoleon's Secret Santa. This has fantastic Napoleon and Illya banter, suave and teasing and knowing.

Excerpt:
Illya felt his neck grow warmer. /You were watching me that closely?/ he wanted to ask. /Did you like what you saw?/ But instead he said, "I shall have to be more circumspect this year."

"What, and spoil half my fun?" Napoleon asked.

Illya felt his eartips reddening. With any luck he could blame the phenomenon on the cold wind that was beginning to scour the Manhattan canyons now that the sun was hidden behind the taller buildings. "I thought your 'fun' was getting drunk and dancing with every girl who would let you," he said gruffly.

"Just pleasantly muddled," Napoleon corrected the description. "Being drunk spoils all the fun."
