Having Seen Barbados (7078 words) by Verasteine
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015)

Summary:
Napoleon crosses the street to a payphone, digging in his pockets for change, feeding it in with hands that aren't as steady as he'd like them to be. His finger hovers over the dial. Gaby would come, but then she would fuss and ask questions. Illya will probably look at him in disgust, but he can take Illya's derision better than Gaby's concern.
(Additional information/content warnings available in end notes.)
It's not for everyone, what with the narrowly avoided rape, but I do like the way the aftermath of it is handled, both in a way that allows the would-have-been victim to find acceptance and proper support, and in a way that doesn't just dismiss the intense homophobia of the 60s.
