Today I finished The Chicago Affair by Nataliya, which ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lee_the_t brought up in my my recommendation thread for long MFU fics.
In The Chicago Affair, Illya and Napoleon are sent to obtain the cooperation of a scientist who has been sharing his research with Thursh.
I have mixed feelings about this story. I started reading it weeks ago and quit in annoyance over what I felt was a contrived and implausible plot development. Since the recommendation came from an author whose work I enjoy, however, I decided to give the fic another chance. It did improve and included some interesting conflicts later on. The plot development that annoyed me still feels silly, though. 20,132 words. NS/IK slash.
