How the two agents took different turnings in a dysfunctional and dangerous world. (What happened to this excellent writer, anyone know?)

Isn't she the one who wrote that wonderful Tango (I think that's the name)?

I don't know anything about her. Except that she can write.

The only other one I know by her is 'Torero. https://crack-van.dreamwidth.org/1937570.html'
Is that the one you mean? I've tried ff.net and mfuarchive - nuffin.

THAT'S the one! I couldn't remember the title, just remembered it was great.

Great. I couldn't find anything else - I wonder if she ever wrote under another name?

This is one of my all-time favourites, one of my top three. I found and bought a hard copy zine story she had written, but it was not in the same class. I can’t remember its name and I no longer have it, but it was not nearly as good.

Thanks for the clue. I found a reference to it on Dreamwidth, August 13 2016, from St Crispins who was selling some fanzines for a friend. The story is called 'The Age of Innocence Affair'. It would be interesting to read it - I wonder if anyone still has it.

That was me, and that was it. It was not nearly as good though.

I get confused easily but Illya may have fallen for a girl with mild superpowers.
