Fic: Vanya's

Title: Vanya’s

Author: Orockthro

Fandom: The Man from UNCLE (TV)

Summary:

“FASHION BY STORM”
Henry Pettersen
December 18th, 1971, Women’s Wear Daily
On the eve of the holiday season many eager shoppers line the halls of department stores all across America, searching for last minute bargains. I, however, am still searching for the truth behind Vanya’s, the successful and shockingly recent break into affordable fashion for the masses.
What I am finding, dear readers, is an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in a heavenly winter coat with a fur collar.

(Or, a post-series AU. The world tries to unravel Vanya’s mystery, Illya tries to stay afloat and unravel a mystery of his own, and Rita Hogarty tries to do her job.)
