Summary
Sometimes I think how different it would have been if she had never studied Russian. We would have continued to be unable to communicate. We would have remained confined to our roles, in a kind of habitual quiet. I liked that sense of stillness, that it doesn't make you a gift of anything, but neither does it make you lose anything.
(Beth and Vasily during a cocktail party in Palma de Mallorca will find themselves talking for the first time.)
(Fancomic created for 17th P0rn Fest edition, prompt: “Russian words that Beth doesn’t know.”)Bookmarked by Shy_Reader

Summary
She thinks he feels the same draw she does. An intellectual fascination, of course, for the only other person who can match them. But a sexual one too. It comes with the territory, she thinks, she’s never been truly attracted to a man who couldn’t match her for brains. She never tries to hide it from him – feels no shame in it at all, in fact. He’s handsome and familiar, with a consistent solidity to him that appeals to her after the slippery, whippet-thinness of Benny. Beth is a person with a bad habit of clinging onto the familiar whether it’s good for her or not. She’s been watching him on screens and in pictures since she stole her very first copy of Chess Review; she knows his face better than most men in her life. And, anyway, this can’t be worse for her than the pills.
