Why this must be read:

I have to warn you that this is deathfic - the story summary acknowledges as such, so I swear it's not a spoiler. Dear reader, don't despair! More precisely, this story is life-after-deathfic that affirms that some partnerships never change even when you've passed the Pearly Gates. Amidst the occasional sly breaking-the-4th-wall references are some of the playful and subtly revealing exchanges bordering on the outright flirtatious between our favorite agents I've read yet. We're offered touching glimpses as to what Napoleon and Illya want to relive from their past and now finally have a chance to do. Valentina lovingly reassures us that you just can't keep a good agent down.

This is a major surprise! I wrote this story a hundred years ago as Valentina, before I had the nerve to write slash as Nataliya. I'd totally forgotten it, so it was fun to read again even though it's in dire need of editing. Kate D might have beta'd for me, I can't remember. She was much too kind to this beginner. I remember her encouragement and will be forever grateful for it.

I was sitting here going "Valentina? Who the hell's that?" You have too many aliases, Tessa!

Well, as for me, I perfectly well remember having read this long ago (and been a little worried about their possible separation in this bureaucratic heaven). How could you forget your children, you bad mother you are?

When I do the monthly summary, do you want to be Valentina or Nataliya?

Sorry! This one left the nest a long time ago. :)

Uhh... you might as well stick with Valentina to avoid confusion on File Forty.

I know. You'd think I was a felon.

Hey, if Brenda Antrim can change her name at will, so can you, if you wish. (smile)
