"The Vatican Affair"- a non-challenge story

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your patience on this one. There was a lot of interest when I posted a teaser of it for a PicFic last year and it's taken me a while to research and finish up this story.

Summary:
Napoleon and Illya are sent to Rome to stop THRUSH interference in one of the Catholic church's most sacred rituals; the election of a new Pope.

It's a bit long...nearly 18,000 words. Hope you like it!

It is a fabulous story ! I recommend you al read it post haste. The inside information about the selection process of the new pope is very enlightening, but the rest of the story is very good too :-) I truly enjoyed it ! Well done cuz :-D. I am currently incapacitated with my stupid leg, but you brightened up my day with this story - thank you so much :-D

OMG! Thank you so much.I'm blown away by your review! I was afraid the research info was too much but I wanted the reader to experience just a small taste of the ornate rituals that take place, plus in my mind it might have helped to illustrate the tediousness that Napoleon and Illya had to endure.

Sorry to hear about your leg and hope you're quickly on the mend. Feel better!
