Why this must be read: Sometimes really good MFU episodes have gaping holes or some sort of silliness dumped into them. In 'The Children's Day Affair' the hole was Illya's meeting with Mother Fear. The silliness was the scene where Mother Fear dies by exploding cake. Really. Lothithil and MacBeth decided to fix the story line and am I ever glad they did. Here we see the interaction between Illya and Mother Fear (warning: it's pretty brutal) and there are no exploding cakes. These authors have written a completely believable pair of scenes that probably should have been written in the first place. A takeoff from canon the really has to be read. So without further ado, I give you:

The Matriphobia Affair
