The Orphanage~ # 5 in the Illya series. A story told in drabbles

He looked up at the dark, star-filled sky, making him feel very alone as always while he hid on the roof of the Moskva Orphanage, it was not deserving that name as it was more like a jail.

The uncaring and underpaid teachers couldn't care less. As far as they were concerned it was but a means to an end, a job that meant some money and housing.

Illya Kuryakin wove his way through this life of despair, disease and disinterest, picking up some bad habits that he added to his survival skills. He swore he’d make it beyond this...

Very poignant and touching. Nicely done.

Glad to hear there will be more! :) Which reminds me, I need to catch up with your Night to Remember fic...

Poor baby Illya. Imagine finding that poor little urchin; I'm sure we'd take him home with us.

And now I'm wondering about the bad habits.
