Why this must be read:

The Ice Queen Affair is a sexy and suspenseful account of Napoleon and Illya's first encounter with the aptly named Thrush villainess, Narcissus Darling. With dead-on characterizations, wry humour and unexpected twists, their mission unfolds like the very best episodes, without those pesky TV censors to spoil the fun.

What's more, C.W.W. delves into Napoleon and Illya's contrasting styles of creating secret identities in this story, providing insights into these men that feel like canon. She also explores the risks inherent in Napoleon's much used tactic of seduction, and reveals why it can so easily go wrong. As a result, The Ice Queen Affair is an intelligent, emotionally satisfying read that is as enlightening as it is entertaining.

Run, don't walk.

Bless your heart. I hope The Ice Queen Affair gets more readers this way too now that it is no longer friend-locked. Plus, I missed reading this story when it was initially posted on her LJ, and I might not have been the only one.
