I hope I got the title right in the translation.
For some reason it is at the bottom of the page as well.
LJ is still a little wonky.
You can find the story on Dreamwidth

I detest racism, and although I occasionally allude to it in my stories, I usually avoid addressing it directly. I love the way you handled this story, with kindness, gentleness and sensitivity. The story comes across so well. Thank you for it. :-)

This was very well done. As always I'm impressed with how you describe subtle emotional changes IK and NS experience.

Thank you for such a kind comment. I agree that dealing with bigotry can be difficult; sometimes the truth of it can be washed over with melodrama.

Thank you so much. I think if the scene fits then the emotional response follows, hopefully with a glimmer of truth.

Superbly done! I love the way Illya allowed due process to deal with the bigots. He could so easily have set out on a course of revenge.

Thank you! He is a professional, and I think he respects the process in spite of the temptation to handle it like the trained assassin he probably is.

How did I miss this??? First of all, I love what you did with the prompt; I felt Illya's pain when he realized it was a terrorist attack against his own people and Napoleon's realization of hateful his people can be.

Secondly, I would love to see this expanded.

Thanks for participating in the Song Story Challenge!

Thank you :D I miss entries all the time, we have a lot of stories going on here on S7. I'm not sure where I'd go with this story, but you aren't the first one to think it has more to say, so thanks again for that.
