Fantastic Illya back story. You do these so well and are very detail orient and consistent with them. Great job.

Exciting but melancholy finish to this drabble story. I think this is one of my favorites. Sort of sad that you killed off Astarte, as I thought she'd make a good recurring villainess.

Good, good! They both made it out and the baddie was properly taken care of. A very satisfactory ending. :)

Very nice, and really hard to accept death even when needed.

Empathy, which is much appreciated. It would be a shame if they didn't care, and became hardened, cold-hearted. Then they'd become what they hate most. Very, very good job.

It's good to have a friend who knows when to speak and when to hold his tongue. Good story.

Illya is an agent and she should have known he will do what it takes to survive.

Ohhh... And is there some therapy on the horizon?

You know, sometimes I do lose sight of the fact that these men are capable killers. Yet, they remain the good guys. What a strange life they lead. I enjoyed this one.

All that he went through, and Illya was still able to bring down the enemy. Good man to have at your side - and on your side, as Napoleon knows well! Thanks, this was great!

Sounds like a great idea, and he did warn her.

What a way to go; stomped to death by Napoleon's size 12s. Good chapter!

... and unhinged soon, I hope.

Way to go, Napoleon!

"I have been better." I think Napoleon hears that one often.
