MFU Fic Bingo: R is for The Red Pawn Affair

[tinturtle]

The Red Pawn Affair by Mishka is a fic I had been meaning to read for ages. It's a sequel to The Black, White, and Lavender Affair by the same author, which I've read and enjoyed more than once. I didn't like The Red Pawn Affair quite as much. There were a number of good scenes and the Cold War setting was well realized as far as it went. Yet I thought the fic's central conflict was resolved a bit too quickly, not giving enough scope to explore the historical events that form part of the plot. 18,966 words. NS/IK slash.
