A monster of a series, written largely to indulge my love of history, daemons, and the entire concept of UNCLE. Works will go up I finish their chapters, which is going to make reading difficult. I'll try not to put the horse before the cart too often. You can check the guide in the notes for more information if you want to attempt to read this in chronological order.

Works:
The great Work-master/ leads to no excess
"With solemn touches, troubled thoughts, and chase." Or, I wanted to write a story about Illya and daemons, The Master's Touch provided a useful framing device, and I may have accidentally a fic 'verse. [Illya POV: Illya's backstory + The Master's Touch Affair (1967)]

Unfinalization
Soviet literature, post-Stalinist Soviet politics, and the art of being Illya Kuryakin's sister. [OC-Tamar Iashvili- POV]
Chapter One: The Morphology of Folk Tales by Vladimir Propp (1953-1965)
Chapter Two: An Actor Prepares by Konstantin Stanislavski (1966-1971)
Chapter Three: Problems of Dostoyevsky's Poetics by Mikhail Bakhtin (1972-1983)
