Clever. Solid fresh ing out of a throw-away line, and the little twist at the end is a perfect segue into the episode.

You just write what has been hovering in my mind since I saw that episode. I think that it could go back a little more and build an entire adventure based on Napoleon's description of the accident that let Illya unconscious...

But, as always, your scene is perfectly structured with suspense, drama and angst. I don't follow the slash, but I can easily keep it on my blind side.

BEEN WAITING ! sorry for yelling *sighs* hangs head ...will it be a multi chapter or a one shot..? now don't get me wrong I love your one shots (Abba/foothills) but would love a multichapter from YOUR imagination because honey your imagination is awesome

Very nice. The tale of the injury that landed Ilya in the hospital definitely deserved a prequel.
