While We Wait For The Great Episode Challenge Stories...

Not everyone has a story ready, I know mine is in the works still.  In the meantime, how about a Reading Room moment?
There is a story that I read at the beginning of my MFU fiction sojourn, and still enjoy after several sessions with it.  I'm giving the link via CrackVan, a site that I don't think is still running; someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Torero, by Barbara Zuchegna, was written as a prelude of sorts to a novella that, as far I know, was never completed.  It's a shame, because I think it would have been a fantastic reading experience for MFU fans.
I hope you have time for it this weekend, and check out previous recs from the Reading Room.

What was it with Illya and crazy blondes?

Flames on a train

Illya hadn’t returned to their compartment after the strange ending to the mission.

Not prepared to lower his moral standards by attempting to seduce a nineteen-year-old virgin, Napoleon found himself alone. He had a pretty fair idea of where his partner was, however. Two doors along, bursting into flames with that crazy girl. He seemed to be taken with crazy blondes, or more probably they with him, though not invariably with this kind of success. There had been a moment, not long ago, when it looked likely that Tracey Alexander might have her wicked way with him – but no. Illya couldn’t offer enough money or status for more than a kiss. It seemed he was a bit luckier this time.

"The Morning After" for the Once Upon a Time Challenge

The prompt:

It was the morning after a night of torrid passion and Napoleon Solo awoke to the hope of an encore before work. Turning over, he found that his date was no longer with him, and the only evidence she’d been there at all was an envelope on the pillow. Solo quickly opened it, expecting a note full of thanks, and a promise of future fun. Instead, the contents of the note caused the colour to drain from his face.
