Summary
While I was hung up writing my “Down the Chimney” story for 2025 (“The Whispering Chateau”) I fell behind on this gift story I was preparing for my beta reader /advisor, Rion. She is fond of angsty hurt/comfort stories with a happy ending. (And I was feeling a need to write some angst!) And so I offer this to her. Happy Christmas!
Illya Kuryakin’s secret mission in Berlin goes wrong, leaving him in mortal danger at the hands of a sadistic Thrush interrogator known as “The Nutcracker.” Can he survive long enough for his partner to find him?
Special thanks to coolbreezeimage for reviewing for me.

I wrote this in 2024 but somehow cannot find it on AO3. Obviously a Parody of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” (A Visit from Saint Nicholas) by Clement Moore.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Summary
A good mission would be one where he didn’t have to scrub his partner’s blood from his shirt, or listen to him hiss in pain as he struggled to find a comfortable position to sleep. If this had gone well, they’d be home already, and their fugitive would be in custody, preparing to be questioned about his contacts, instead of dead and useless.
