An Explanation - Impromtu Challenge - Jan 4th

I don't know how this came from the pictures glennagirl posted, but who am I to deny the muse when she appears.

Although it isn't really canon, Illya's hatred of hospitals is very much a part of fanon. This story is an attempt to explain this hatred. Before anyone says it, I know it could be expanded :-) In fact, it kind of ties in a little with a story I wrote some time ago called 'Unknown Fear'. One day, I may bring the two together and form a much longer piece.

Anyway, click on Glenna's artwork to go to AO3.

Will repeat my comment here...Very good cuz! And you're right, this definitely could be expanded. Hopefully the doctor won't have a change of heart and run tests on Illya to find out why he is the way he is...

Thanks so much Cuz :-)
I doubt Waverly will let the doctor do any such thing. Hopefully . . .

Oh, I shudder to imagine what what done to him....you are right this fits in nicely with your other story.

Thank you :-)
I did a little bit of research (very little), and found that human experimentation was being performed in the Soviet Union at around that time. (Of course, other countries were at it too).

A very thoughtful piece, and sure to inspire questions and imaginings of what the young Kuryakin faced all of those years ago. Your use of the illustration worked perfectly.

Thank you :-)
My muse has been fairly absent of late, yet your wonderful illustration proved to be an excellent catalyst.
