No one does lounge against a wall like Illya, do they *cough* icon *cough* ;) I like the added pictures!

As always, this is beautifully written, and Illya and Sasha's relationship is so interesting, open and loving, but still not filling all the holes in their hearts; perhaps, as they say, they are too much alike. A different world from Illya's world with Uncle--a different relationship than the one he would have with Napoleon. I doubt he can have both...

The glimpses of a young carefree Illya in love are really charming.
