Taking a break from writing to share what wings I think side(ish) characters in The Man From U.N.C.L.E would have!
Alexander Waverly; Commander, British Naval Intelligence
Osprey
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aquatic bird of prey! British NAVAL Intelligence! I imagine they stay pretty tense, raised and slightly puffed up at all times 😅
Adrian Sanders; CIA
American Black Vulture
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My only reasoning is because Sanders is a scavenger and vultures are scavengers. But also I feel like he would be incredibly envious of eagle-types, which he thinks Solo is, further fueling his hatred for him. "Why does this traitor, this criminal, get to be an eagle type when he's not even loyal to the US of A??"
Oleg; KGB
Demoiselle Crane
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Native to Russia, probably dangerous?? Just fits his vibe and aesthetic, honestly 😅 I think he probably uses the massive wingspan to intimidate victims (be it targets or KGB agents beneath him).
Victoria Vinciguerra; Nazi
Southern Grey Shrike
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Innocent looking murder machines. Need I say more? I almost made her a dove-type, then I remembered how not-deadly shrikes look and as I'm writing this I'm just now realizing it also fits her black and white aesthetic shown throughout the film. She tells people she's a song-bird-type, chickadee to be exact, but her victims know the truth.
Alexander Vinciguerra; Nazi Playboy Nazi-Wannabe
Kingfisher
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aquatic (shipping company) bird with fancy colorful plumage. I literally just went down the Wikipedia list of birds native to Italy until I found the fanciest looking bird that also goes in water sometimes lol. Very vain about his feathers, probably.

Man from U.N.C.L.E with Costumes by Joanna Johnston
Some reviewers of this movie from 2015 did not like it much, but even those had something nice to say about the costumes which are by Joanna Johnston who has worked on such films as Lincoln, Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan.
You see here at the top, Alicia Vikander as Gaby Teller, the young East German woman whose absent father is involved in making bombs for the US military until he went missing. She is then recruited to help find him and gets a new wardrobe to do it in. The film is set in the early 1960s, but Johnston was thinking of later in the decade. "I was primarily looking at fashion magazines of the time of the late ‘60s," Johnston told Carly Mallenbaum for USA TODAY. "I knew I wanted to keep her very youthful, but elegant. Chic; not overtrendy. I think 'fresh' is the key word for Gaby." You see here a lot of orange, a very bright and playful color, as well as a trendy newsboy cap.
On the others hand, Elizabeth Debicki plays Victoria Vinciguerra, a really wealthy and nasty business tycoon, with a more sophisticated wardrobe of black and white. All her looks, are long, lean and seem kind of mean.  
Henry Cavill plays Napoleon Solo, a thief turned secret agent, and gets to wear some natty suits while his mismatched partner is played by Armie Hammer who is the Russian agent Illya Kuryakin who, like most Soviets during the Cold War, does not get a lot of fashion into his wardrobe.
I saw this on HBO and you can find it elsewhere as well, and I must say I enjoyed more than the costumes, but then I am married to a Cold War scholar and remember the TV series for the same name from when I was a kid.

These retreat mentions share more if you are ready and want too :)
I will admit that I’m not sure it will ever be ready to post, but I do have a two sentence synopsis. But the bitch is 375k (absolutely ridiculous) which makes it difficult to fit into any size synopsis.
Elevator pitch: Two people with disastrous sex lives are matched together on an exclusive sex retreat, and the sparks fly. Months later, fate brings them together again but, to have any chance at a real relationship, they’ll have to overcome past traumas, personal conflicts, long distance, and a hidden connection that puts them both in the cross-hairs of a maniac.
(If you don’t like sex scenes, this fic is not for you.)
Getting Illya to go to a sex retreat? I know, I know, friend. It did take work. lol
I want to give a list of tropes but I’m drawing a blank, except for the most important one, lol, the Size Kink. Hahaha! Most important one to know going in, anyway. 😂
Gaby’s owns an automobile manufacturing company, Schmidt Automotive, which she inherited from her foster father. Things are going well in that department, but her sex/dating life is in the trash. All the men she dates end up being selfish/clueless in bed. After a particularly disappointing (insulting) encounter, she gets a call from long time rival Victoria, offering her a free trip: to an exclusive, tailored, sex retreat.
She doesn’t take her up on it immediately but eventually decides that, since she can turn down the person she is paired with, she might as well give it a try.
Illya owns/operates a company that offers security and protection services. His sex life also sucks-- mostly because of his, shall we say, anatomy? It’s more than a little intimidating. It sucks, sure, especially since his last long time girlfriend dumped him over it. **  He is ready to just deal with it, but his partner and foster brother, Solo, is not ready to leave things be and decides to but him a trip to this very exclusive retreat where they are experts at matching people up for sex. Illya immediately rejects this but, after some time and trials, he decides that doing something different is better than just doing nothing/same thing over and over. He decides to take a chance.
After a slightly awkward beginning to their first meeting, things between them go VERY WELL. In fact, it’s almost like they were made for each other somehow. Problem? This retreat was only supposed to be a one weekend deal. While Illya is hoping she’ll be willing to keep in touch, Gaby and her abandonment issues are immediately in retreat because of how much she actually likes the person behind all the great sex. She leaves without exchanging numbers, or even last names.
Six months later, her company is experiencing a security issue. Important, proprietary information has been leaked to the competition: Vinciguerra Motors! Waverly sets about hiring a security expert to come in and close the gaps. And who walks into Gaby’s conference room but the guy she left behind at the sex retreat. The guy she has totally not been thinking of ever since.
ANYWAY - there’s more after that, because it’s like three books in one lol, but that’s as long of a post as I want to make. Writing it all out makes me see how ridiculous it all is. But, in my defense, when I was originally writing it, it was just for funsies, so I wasn’t trying to make it make sense.
Hope that gave you a little of what you are looking for, anon. And it’s not just torture for something that will never be, because I cannot guarantee I will ever post it.
**all the tictok girlies calling out how ridiculous large dicks are in romances/erotica is so funny to me now because, yeah a huge dick seems normal when you read this shit but in reality? Sure. Illya's dick is too big, that's literally the point. *snerk* (Also, I started writing this Dec 2015, friends. And the idea was born after watching Magic Mike XXL, bwahahahahaha!)

OMG I remembered I have another ask for you: I can’t seem to find The Man from Uncle to watch in the UK, which is a shame bc I want to read your fics about it and also Henry Cavill gets me all 🫠 ever since he wore a henley on Superman. So, here’s my question: tell me a little bit about it? A little backstory on Napollya (iirc from your posts 😂) so that maybe I can just enjoy the fics? Pretty please? x
Back in action for asks! *cracks knuckles*
I would love to give you some backstory! (Also, if any of my TMFU folks are reading this and know where to stream it in the UK, please chime in!)
The good news is that for a lot of my AUs you probably don't need a huge amount of the background to appreciate the dynamic. It's a pretty classic enemies to friends to lovers setup, with the added bonus that (in the movie) they are actually true enemies rather than just people who dislike each other haha. I am going to put the rest of this behind a cut—no major spoilers for the movie, but it's gonna get long lol. So if anyone else also wants a character rundown + some important stuff about their dynamic so they can dive into some of my other fics, here's your primer!
Ok, so character rundown:
Napoleon Solo: aka "Cowboy," aka "The CIA's finest", formerly a top tier art thief who no one could catch, until he finally tripped up and got arrested. The CIA plucked him out of prison to work for them, and his handler still treats him like criminal dirt. Enjoys fancy cooking, classic yet fashionable suits, is utterly charming, a massive flirt, supposed to be the 'womanizer' but consistently shows a refreshing respect for women (especially given the James Bond comparison).
Illya Kuryakin: aka "Peril", aka "The youngest person to join the KGB", a giant (6'5"), inhumanly strong, super hostile and gruff exterior, surprisingly bad liar, polite king to little old ladies, actually softer than a marshmallow on the inside. His father was a Soviet official who got thrown in the gulag when he was a kid for embezzlement, forcing his mother into a kind of prostitution to survive. Probably resulting from that trauma, he suffers from dissociative episodes when he gets extremely upset in which he does things like trashes hotel rooms (his hands shake when he feels one coming on). Manipulated by his handler with threats of being sent to the gulag like his father. Favors turtlenecks and simple outfits, also a fashion snob. Extremely attached to his father's watch, which he wears.
Gaby Teller: aka "Chop Shop Girl", East German auto mechanic who's father was a nuclear scientist pulled out of Germany by the Americans during the war, leaving her behind as a kid. No-nonsense, prefers slacks when dressing herself, sometimes plays mother to our bickering boys. Possible alcohol problems.
Alexander Waverly: British Naval Intelligence, ultimately organizing the operation, a bit of an asshole but in a charming way, keeps together the team at the end as UNCLE (independent spy organization).
Victoria Vinciguerra: The evil mastermind. Napoleon sleeps with her at one point to save the operation, later she drugs him and leaves him to be tortured. Very tall, very fashionable.
Also other minor character you may come across in AUs: Oleg (Illya's KGB handler), Sanders (Napoleon's CIA handler), Alexander Vinciguerra (Victoria's husband), Rudi Teller (Gaby's Nazi uncle).
The main thrust of the movie is that Napoleon and Illya are both sent to East Berlin to try to extract Gaby for their own purposes, only to learn that they will actually be force to work as a team to take down the bad guys. They actively try to kill each other in not just their first but also second meeting. There's a scene where they argue over fashion while buying Gaby a new wardrobe that is *chef's kiss*. Extreme levels of banter and snark in every interaction. BUT, as these things go, they gain a grudging respect for each other. Napoleon saves Illya's life, Illya saves Napoleon's life. They work together as a team exceptionally well. By the end, they are trading extremely fond insults. There are moments of self-sacrificial plays to save a teammate you're not even supposed to like, gift giving, betraying your principles/agency for the other person. There is a canonical will-they-won't they between Illya and Gaby during the movie (one of the reasons another major ship in this fandom is an ot3 between them), but nothing actually happens.
I think that basically sums up their dynamic and gives you the backstory you'd need for the AUs especially. For the post-canon ones it's a little tricker since I'd rather not give away the main twist of the movie, BUT a lot of them are kind of "in the future working as a team already" setup that don't really reference movie events, so you'd honestly probably be fine there too.
All right, that's a lot of text lol. I hope it helps, and I hope you enjoy the fics if you decide to dive in!

h/c fic idea: what if Napoleon and Illya didn't manage to escape during their little break-in at the Vinciguerra factory, but instead they were both captured. Of course, at this point they are still at the rivals part of their relationship, so it's not like they have some kind of a deep emotional connection. After their capture, they would probably get tortured for information (maybe by Rudi, who would be sickeningly pleased at having two subjects to play with). They'd bond during their captivity and suffering, and gain mutual respect for each other (and fall in love, lol). Gaby could probably still play the "my fiance is a KGB agent" card to get to her father, but Waverly'd send back-up sooner and rescue Napoleon and Illya (so he could have them work for UNCLE).
This could definitely contain:
Illya wondering why the hell he feels so irritated when the torturer punches Napoleon in the face when Illya wanted to do it himself so many times during the short time they've known each other
Napoleon and Illya being tied up back-to-back, so they can feel every flinch and tremble from each other
Illya trying to get them out by brute force and failing
Napoleon trying to get them out using his lockpicking/escape-artistry skills and failing
Napoleon creatively insulting their captors in every language he knows (and Illy being begrudgingly impressed)
After their rescue, both Illya and Napoleon stubbornly working (they still have to get the disc and/or warhead + capture Victoria and/or Alexander) through all their injuries while trying to keep up the act that they are okay and wholy unaffected
