Thanks to Nat who felt my icons were a trifle stale. :) Whee!

I have a question that's been asked before (what a surprise). I was thinking, of Napoleon and Illya, supposing they found themselves realizing that (despite, perhaps, having never found a man sexually attractive before) they were very attracted to their partner. Which of them, do you think, would have most trouble expressing it? Not so much admitting it to himself (I think they'd be neck and neck with that) but admitting it to the other (if he believed the other to be straight)? I was thinking that because I have this image in my head of Napoleon as the braver of the two in that sort of circumstance. He'd just say it, damn the consequences. Whereas Illya, though equally brave in general, would be less inclined to admit it aloud -- because of the consequences.

leethet I agree with your image of Solo. :) If their roles had been reversed in "Sleepless Nights", I too could imagine Napoleon coming out (albeit uneasily) and once that was done, yes, he would have probably inquired gently about IK's inclinations and then accepted the answer. :)
Two great minds in total synch. LOL! :)

And for st_crispins I meant that if Solo were gay, he would prefer a gay sexual partner. I didn't mean to imply it would affect his choice of a working partner. :) That wouldn't be a problem. And yes, I do have mixed working partners in my AU. :) You can't be gay in this world without mixing with straights. LOL!
Would that they were all as wonderful as you.
