Why this must be read:
Four episodes of the television show are woven together seamlessly in this story. As yo read it you will pick out certain lines.

Illya tells Napoleon not to make a pass at him and Napoleon respects the request, even though it is extremely difficult for him. Unfortunately, Illya realizes belatedly that he wants Napoleon and he doesn't know how to manage it. He doesn't want to go back on his word and he doesn't know what to say to make things happen.

TheRimmerConnection does a wonderful job of letting us see the agents' emotions and thoughts. You will really empathize with them.

He pulled on his coat in the office he shared with Illya, wondering how his partner was doing. He had left him in Medical, griping and fidgeting while a harassed-looking doctor tried to check him over for any after-effects of the treatment to which he had been subjected. The thought improved Napoleon's mood considerably – some things never changed. He should probably go and rescue him, before he actually started snarling at the medics.

Illya wished he could take Napoleon in his arms and hold him, to tell him it was really all right, but he'd blown up that bridge already. No going back, not with any semblance of honour or dignity. It wouldn't be fair anyway. Napoleon would never know where he stood with him again. Stand firm. That was the only answer.
