This was his lot in life, being chased and harried by the bigger children and it was for no reason for other than that they could.

He possessed nothing of value, only the clothes on his back. Illya always tried to make himself scarce as one never knew from which direction they would come.

Fear of sexual abuse and rape were foremost in his mind, death took a backseat to such things. Fear of death was driven from him while in the concentration camp.  His cold, fatalistic tendencies were born there, staring at death on a daily basis did that.

Devastating...

A very real possibility when you think about where and when he was a child. I did a lot of research on that actual concentration camp. It was a small one and originally a labor camp before it became a death camp. 13 people actually escaped and lived to testify... in my early story 'Beginnings' I had Illya as a 14th undocumented prisoner who escaped at the tender age of 10.

My research for these background stories were real eye openers.

Thanks for reading and commenting on this. A single word says so much.

While looking for docs about the Easter Egg I wrote for Spotsycool, I read about this...

the Easter Eggs were pretty cool. This was my first time participating and it was fun. I have to go back and read some of the others as there were so many. Very impressive!

I like the roots you suggest about Illya's "cold, fatalistic tendencies", the boy who holds his ground.

Just went over to MFUWSS and read your Easter Egg, well done!

Thank you! Whatever the slash/gen prospect, the bond between Illya and Napoleon is above just a work relationship. Trust, confidence... Something special.
