Man from U.N.C.L.E. Section VII

Several MFU fics from the 1980 multi fandom zine Paladin #1 have recently been made accessible on AO3.  They’re each interesting in their own way and I recommend them. 

In this interim between the Fourth of July and Bastille Day, I’m recc-ing a long read on the theme of revolution, CW Walker’s The Lion of Ngambo 

I've been sitting on this one for a while, but thought it would be a good long fic for the long weekend, if a bit sad. Pat Foley's Illya origin story - Conversion of a Heretic. As far as I've found it was only ever posted to her website, which is preserved on the Wayback Machine. 

Reader’s choice: So Brazen and Stiff-Necked, by A_Pen. Going into this time of year (Rosh Hashana starts tomorrow), I’m always glad to revisit this gift from a dear friend.

 Reader’s choice: I personally relish the heat, but in case you don’t, please enjoy this charming hypothermia h/c from laughingacademy

I just missed International Women’s Day, but I’d like to recommend rallamajoop’s excellent appreciation of one of the women from UNCLE, Heather McKnabb: To earn your wings
