Found: pre-canon Illya story

[tinturtle]

I remember reading a pre-canon story that takes place when Illya still lives in Russia. He has a male friend who is in love with him, and who professes this one day. The profession is picked up by listening devices, and comes to the attention of Illya's surpirior officer who is also the friend's father (or maybe step-father).

I think this is Friend to Fear by PaulaH. It's on CGMM. One of my favourite stories by a fine writer.

Yes, that's the one. Thanks. :)
