Round Table - Favorite Stories

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

 I was drawn into the fandom thing after watching the MFU dvd set several years ago.  Several as in six, which amazes me because that seems like a really long time.  After watching the entire series in a marathon of late nights and less sleep than normal, I began the internet search for more about the world of MFU, totally unaware of something called fanfiction.  That, of course, was a revelation when I found it and so there were more late nights and early mornings where I found myself glued to the laptop, reading the further adventures of Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin.
Some stories were immediately favorites, and like everyone else's favorites, have been re-read numerous times.  Some of them helped form my own story writing style while others remain untouchable to me for the sheer brilliance of bringing these characters to life for me.
So what are some of your favorites?  What story cemented your love of MFU and the genre of writing for which we all now share this devotion?
I'll start with one that I've read over and over, and it never gets old.

I've mentioned many times that the first fanfiction I ever read was one of Spikegirl58's "Foothills" tales. I was so taken with the idea of a retired, in love(!) Napoleon and Illya that I wrote her and she was kind enough to send me a reading list of all her stories. Before that, I had no idea fanfiction existed.
