Yay!! Oh, I'm so glad you liked it. (You didn't mention/request the darker side, so I'm glad that fit with your fic preferences too. :)
I've not written Illyria before but I volunteered for her because she intrigues me. Great to hear that she came across well.
Thanks again for an intriguing prompt; I did enjoy writing this (even if at times I was tearing my hair in frustration. *g*)
