Why this must be read: I love stories with a little bit of the supernatural and this one has a bunch, so that is lovely. And it is set in one of my all time favourite places, N'Awlins! Yay! And then out in the bayous where Grammy Danto's yard dogs take care of the oncoming THRUSH agents and save Napoleon from certain badness, gotta love that, too! (And I have actually been to Pas Manchac, blink and you'll miss it) I was amused by Illya's memory of an encounter Napoleon had with a denizen of N'Awlins, and of course imagined how I would have had that go oh so differently, yes indeed. *grin* I love how Illya is hell bent on saving his partner, despite odds and local superstition being against them, and I loved the last moment where Napoleon thanks his near miss savior in a most traditional manner. I found this a perfectly good story and am ever so happy to share it because I think it is wonderful.
