Why this must be read:
This gem of a story is infused with the sly humor and self-mocking awareness that is a hallmark of the televised series. You would be wise to keep all liquids away from your computer while reading this story. Or at least keep a squeegee on hand so you can wipe down the screen afterwards.
There's a plot - yes, there is! - and it's straight out of third season cuckoo-land. Mind controlling devices! Musketeers with white horses! More exclamatory descriptions than you can shake a tulip at!
The story is told from the point-of-view of one rather grumpy Russian spy, griping to himself because his senior partner has once again nabbed the plum part of the assignment. Napoleon, however, playfully cajoles Illya out of his mood.
When he looked up, he had to laugh in spite of his foul mood. Napoleon was wearing a wide-brimmed blue hat with huge red and white plumes and looked like all three musketeers in one person.
"Well, hello handsome stranger," Napoleon crooned. "My white horse is parked right outside the door. Would you mind if I abducted you?"
One thing leads to another in that dusty basement full of strange and wonderful hats, until something even stranger and more wonderful happens. Mr. Waverly stops by to - of all things - buy a hat. Guess what? That mind controlling device really does work....
Have fun reading The Borsalino Affair.
I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do.
Pairing: Napoleon/Illya
