I will keep you in my cage Vulnerable bird The world will break your wingsI guess company is like alcohol; the first sip is horrible, but along the way you get addicted to it. At least that’s how it was for me. Growing up, I felt little need to be social. Though I had an elder sister, we were both brought up to be strong individuals who wouldn’t rely on others, and during a few years it influenced our relationship. Even in matters in which we agreed, we would end up in troubled discussions trying to persuade the other that our own opinion was a little different and therefore a little more correct than the other’s. I won’t even try to explain to you how much more frustrating the arguments were when we disagreed - let’s just say I’ve broken bones

Can I ask you something, though? Is the present-day Russia, the one telling the story, is he aware of how. . . well, "off" he was, back in the day?
This is probably one of the best Russia stories I've ever read. It's not an easy task writing in Ivan's POV, but I'm glad someone as skilled as you is doing it :)

The present-day Russia is supposed to be looking back at his time with Lithuania, trying to explain his actions by refering to his personality, way of looking at life and the emotions that drove him to these extremes. He knows his actions wasn't acceptable, but rather than feel guilt he wants to point out the reasons why (though, being the person he is, I can't promise he won't lie and try to make himself look better xD")
To all commentors I'm so very glad you all enjoy the story <3 Really. I can't express how happy it makes me. I'll continue as soon as I've got a free minute on my hand. Hopefully, a few chapters will be up by the end of this week.
Probably not what the OP had in mind, but when anon has started to type, anon can't stop D: Part 2 will follow shortly~
