Um, good news, anon. There's already over THIRTY YEARS of fanfic out there about these characters. It's been, at various times, one of the biggest slash pairings in all of slash fandom. You could fill shelves with the stacks of Napoleon/Ilya zines published through the 80s and 90s.

Here, start with these: https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Illya%20Kuryakin*s*Napoleon%20Solo/works

As someone who has not seen the show, how lost will I be with the fic based on the show?

DA

I don't think you really need to have seen the show to enjoy fic. It's pretty straight-forward.

It's pretty boys kissing. You'll be fine.

The movie might get people into the original fic, but I have no doubt there will be a lot of fic for the movie version / interpretation of the characters.

You must admit the Russian guy looks a bit different, and they'll probably act a bit different, too. (Like the Starsky and Hutch movie versus the original show??)

Then, there are the way fandom tropes change a lot over the years. There will be some quite different fic for the movie. (If it gets popular enough, even high school AUs!)

Whereas fan fic from the earliest eras were often quite, quite different with a tone that can be difficult to get into for some newer fans.

I suspect many fans will get into the original stuff, but others will be like, "Nope, Movie-verse for me," and original fans may not like the "kids these days" writings.

Fun times ahead.

Oh, just wanted to add that I haven't seen the original series or read more than a tiny bit for it, but I'm pretty sure this story was originally UNCLE fic: http://www.amazon.com/Spy-Games-J-D-Ryan-ebook/dp/B00WNEX5Z8

(Still loved it, though.) :D

I think this is much better than the film of Starsky and Hutch. This is a great film that stands on its own, but is also fun if you liked the show, as I did.
