Quick fic rec!
Apr. 13th, 2008 07:27 pmYes, emerging from the depths of my term paper, I bring you another fic rec! (Clearly I have not been dividing my time between academia and fandom this late in the game. That would be silly.)
As is so often the case with my recs, I haven't had the chance to review it myself, mostly because I'm not sure I can fit everything I want to say into the little comment box at this point. But do let the author know you enjoyed it! Do as I say, not as I do, etc.
Rec: Project Pygmalion
Fandom: Man from U.N.C.L.E./My Fair Lady/Pygmalion (oh yes, you read that right)
Characters: Illya Kuryakin, Harry Beldon, Alexander Waverly, Napoleon Solo, and Gerald Strothers
Author:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Author's Summary: A Man from U.N.C.L.E. / My Fair Lady / Pygmalion fusion. Suitable for ALL viewers! Of ANY age! And ANY sexual orientation!
Oh, this is crackfic of the highest order. It's the puppy running around in circles at the pet store, the one you just know is absolutely bonkers, but you'd love to take him homeand call him your personal canon all the same. Explicit knowledge of the MUNCLE canon isn't really required, even - but the more you know, the more of the clever little in-jokes you get.
The premise? It's 1955, and Waverly has just bet Beldon he can't turn a nominee of his choice into a fully qualified UNCLE agent in three months - and train him well enough that people won't be able to tell he didn't attend the UNCLE Survival School. And Waverly picks a certain young Russian scientist working in the labs.
( An excerpt! )
There are explosions, plots within plots, and musical numbers. The whole thing is equals parts witty, silly, and somehow true to character. How can you possibly go wrong?
Edit: Oh, dear. Part of my layout's background appears to have up and, well, disappeared. I wonder how long it's been doing that? Argh.
Also Edit: Fixes made it worse. Fine. Anyone have a new layout to recommend?
