Reactions and Reviews

Absolutely incredible. I love how you've shown the burning, overwhelming need that Napoleon has for Illya, and Illya's fear of loving in return. This is definitely being bookmarked for future enjoyment. Amazing! [1]

Way back in August, 2004, vysila recommended The Post Gurnius Affair by Rosemary for its gritty look at the two agents trying to recover from Illya's torture of Napoleon by having primal, raw sex. At the time, none of the sequels was online. Thankfully this one now is. Where the first story focused on the shredded emotions and disturbed mental states of the two agents after Illya has been forced to hurt his friend, the second one focuses on sex. But not a classic hurt/comfort scene. Rosemary writes a powerful tale that weaves Napoleon's needs, Illya's iron control of the act, and the actual physical act into one seamless read. The story is worth reading just for the description of the two agents in bed, but the portrayal of Illya calling all the shots and Napoleon reacting, it rises above the crowd.[2]
