Wow, what a story! Reminiscent of a story by Rosywonder, but still different and of course anytime Dr. Dabree is involved...chilling.

Thank you!

I don't know if I've ever read anything by Rosywonder - though the name is familiar so I might have. Can you remember what it's called?

I'm pretty sure it's her "Font of Life" series. It has 5 parts, and each section has a 25,000+ word count. She writes longer stories and was one of my inspirations when first started writing fan fiction. She's from the UK but lives in France now.

She also has a"breeding' program concept, but you've both given it a very different spin while still focusing on Illya. Rosywonder is def. an Illya-girl. "D Her stories are AU in that Illya marries and has a very large family.

There's also a 153,000 word follow up story called "Generations."

PS I liked that you had NS 'shooting with blanks" and I"m guessing it was a nod to Robert Vaughn's unfortunate condition in real life.

Thanks, I'll look it up - though I'm not happy myself to extend the lives of the two men in detail like that. But that's just my preference - to stick as much as I can to the canon. I share her attachment to Illya, of course.

Yes, I'm afraid RV's little problem was an appropriate prompt in the context - but the story doesn't do more than imply it for either of them. They try hard not to be successful, after all...

I do love your stories and your ability to weave them within canon, but still keeping them more interesting than the original canon.

Thank you very much - that's very flattering.

What an excellent story! I honestly didn't see the twist coming.

You're most welcome. Btw the photo you chose for this was perfect.

I left very subtle clues. Glad I fooled you, though - and glad you liked it. Thanks.
