Any native Russian speakers out there, or students studying Russian? Please feel free to correct any mistakes I’m sure are present:

Mezhdu dvukh ogney- literally between two fires- “between a rock and a hard place”
V chuzhom glazu sorinku zametno, a v svoyom - brevna ne vidat'- seeing the minor flaws of another while ignoring your own major ones
Luchshe pozdno, chem nikogda- better late than never
Vilami na vode pisano- “written on flowing water with a pitchfork” uncertain or unlikely to happen
Kuy zhelezo, poka Goryacho- strike while the iron is hot, amended to “strike while Gorbachyov (is in power)”, a reference to the socioeconomic reform the Soviet Union attempted in the 80’s (and which many believe ultimately led to its downfall)
Likha beda nachalo- Things go from bad to worse (“when it rains, it pours”)
Simon’s seven stumbles- meaning to say nanakorobi yaoki, which equates to “there were seven stumbles, but eight occurred”- essentially “try until you succeed“. Simon used yoki instead of yaoki

The opening is dedicated to this picture, which I regard as the most amazing fanart in existence: http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/638799/2boys-black_hair-blonde_hair-brown_eyes-cigarette-

And finally, a question for OP- would you like a single date where they figure things out, or multiple dates where after they report to Simon, they get a “No. Not good enough. Do again.”?

OP here, I take my hat off to you, this is absolutely fantastic. And as far as multiple dates or a single date goes, multiple dates with Simon's continued disapproval sound hilarious, but you should write whatever you think would fit the best for the story at hand (alternately what's funner for you to write). I look forward to the next installments!

♥♥♥ Your Simon is great - loved how Izaya and him conversed a little in Russian, which just made Shizuo more upset XD. Oh, and that Colonel picture!! Looking forward to the rest, whether it be a set of dates or one epicfail! date.

omg this is just fantastic! <3333

Seriously, I can't wait to read more. I hope that you will update soon ;~; And I loved all of the Russian touches and Erika being the supervisor of their date haha. This fic has made me appreciate Simon so much more already.

Not OP but I'd love to see them attempt a few dates (since I can't imagine them getting it perfect on the first try), but I'd love to read whatever you write <3

ah funny thing, I'm Polish but i figured out most of the sayings from the context. it's amazing how similar are our sayings to the Russian ones.

Shizu-chan, Simon, Erika Karisawa, Walker Yumasaki, Colonel Sanders, and Isaac Newton. Izaya’s hit list was growing.

hahaha oh Izaya.

Anyway, this is absolutely brilliant. I can't wait for the date.

The part where Izaya wants to show off his Russian (and Shizuo fails to notice) and then later when Shizuo does figure it out is just so perfect. Love the details, it's a lovely story~ :3

And that picture is awesome haha.

I was so sad when another one of my favorite Shizaya fics on here was finally finished (Unintentional Affection), so I'm glad I have another one to look forward to~

Hope you will update soon!

This comment got a thrilled giggle out of me, thank you anon XD
Updates will probably be pretty slow for awhile, but I promise not to drop the fic. I have the ending written and a loose idea of the plot. All I need to do is make sure that the middle section doesn't explode to be thirty-odd parts long ;)

AND THIS IS EVEN LATER XD

I am indeed. That's why your comment made me so happy :D

I am still working on it, and I promise promise promise I won't drop it. I have just had an incredibly busy span of few weeks, and either come home just to sleep, or am traveling without internet. I really hope to get this going in full swing before August hits though. I'm glad you are still interested!!
