Why this must be read: I usually don't care for this much angst, but this story definitely works for me. As the title implies, both men have their demons though neither is a thoughtless jerk, a situation I heartily dislike in a story. No matter what they may have done to one another, that they love each other is never in doubt...at least, not to the reader. Napoleon, especially, shines as he suffers for a wrong he can't seem to set right.

I think my only complaint is that the story ended too soon for me. Though the outcome is not in doubt, I would have loved another scene or two.

Actually I was thinking about the end more than the beginning (that could be anything you imagine).
