WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.

[vega_ofthe_lyre]

SERIOUSLY WHAT. OH MY GOD I READ THIS PEERING THROUGH MY FINGERS SQUEAKING ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I JUST WANTED CRACK FIC AND YOU GAVE ME BEAUTY; WHY DO YOU DO IT?!

He feels exposed, somehow, but consoles himself with how little he has to hide. oh my god IVAN. and yes; "On the contrary," Yuri says, "he means everything he says."; yes

It is iron hearts within damasked breasts that will win this war. what is your prose. why do you exist. i don't deserve you.

and my yuri. oh, christ, i fell over on my couch when i read this: Yuri had shrugged and smiled and behind his back he ground a fist against the crook of his arm-no, he had thought, no, no- skdflfgjdfg. MY BOYYY. i hate you i hate you shush stop talking. oh the dance of the politics - you've fit them in so well within the boundaries of the history and the ambiguities - i haaaaate you. and tone down your glib koschei-the-deathless references my heart can't take them.

is this necessary, he thinks, rigorously untwitchy, and Yuri flicks him lightly on the back of his head

and then

They are going to Peterhof and their cares shall be burned away by the sun; they shall return to the palace fresh from the land and unvarnished, returning to something expected to be new.

i love you. i am abusing you egregiously right now for the sake of feelings but i love you. a lot. a lotttt.

and don't think i missed all those jaws in there, you fiend

ME?! WHAT HAVE *YOU* DONE.

[marketchippie]

do we need to institute a jaw count per fucking-kgb-piece capita

(probably)

(do i post this on the community or do i hide it here for reasons of what the actual fuck)

(this is the longest thing i've written in this 'verse, isn't it. I HATE EVERYTHING, INCLUDING YOU AND MYSELF.)

(oh yes i did.)
