Squeeeeeee! That was utterly adorable *bounces madly and hugs ficlet* I adore the way you write Nadja's impishness - it's so cute and girlish yet sexy and in character! And how Marian's just utterly smitten and can't keep up the stern face and forgets all about being embarrassed when she smiles at him... awwwww!

oh, and I love this line:

There was a certain way Nadja smiled at him, like she had a secret, and if Marian was a very good boy, she'd share it with him.

I know exactly what smile you mean, and that's such a lovely, apt way of putting it. This is great! (Go post at NL! *innocent*)
