    beautiful work. it's hard to find resentful angry arguments with an established couple, especially as sweet as hollanov, and this was a breath of fresh air. the way they would dig at each other. when I was reading the tlg, something about ilya's behavior seemed too mellow for me, and with this fic I finally understood what. I was seething with anger on his behalf, mad at the situation he found himself in by leaving Boston and moving, I assume that I would have similar emotions, even though it was his choice to make.

    super super super

    Summary

    Daniil Dankovsky, reduced to working as a pathologist, is summoned to an idiosyncratic port town to help hunt down the man suspected of a string of gruesome, ritualistic murders. Dankovsky quickly deduces that he was not selected by the Behaviorists for his medical expertise, but for his personal connection to the Ripper—and, perhaps, his outlawed thanatological studies.

    as a person who has never played pathologic, the world was very confusing at first. I was mainly looking for mindhunter fics and found this beast of work. I was reading it as an original story with a sprinkle of familiar characters and boy did it deliver. you don't have to understand everything straight away or at all, really. the answers are not presented to you, just live in this weird reality of things that simply happen, accept it end enjoy. the writing is so vivid and strong, I have never read anything quite like this. one of my favorite stories of this year.

    Summary

    If he were sober, he might have recognized how catastrophically bad this idea was. That the roulette ball was not a sign, that they’d been playing for over an hour and it was bound to land on twenty-four eventually. But there was a buzzing warmth flooding his veins and a very loose grip on his rationality, so he headed away from the bar, through the lobby, and out onto the balmy Vegas strip. He leaned against a shadowed wall and scrolled to a contact he’d hovered over a thousand times before.

    This time, he called.

    Or: Five years after Rose helped Shane come to terms with his sexuality, he’s done everything else on his own. Coming out, surviving the backlash, being traded to Ottawa. When the dust finally settles, Shane meets a nice guy from Montreal and tells himself he’s ready to move on. He’s definitely not thinking about Ilya. Or Ilya’s gorgeous Russian wife. Not at all.

    that was very nice. all the tension couped up in them — you can feel it through the text. i like fics with years of build up, and we didn't have it here, year by year, but you can certainly feel it, slipping, text drenched in it, delicious.

    reread

    every time I read this particular piece of trilogy I cry like a baby. it makes me tear up every. single. time. the letters bucky is writing, his yearning, his worries, his messages on lighters, everything is just so heavy and prominent, because you know the path we are going with, you already know the future.

    this fic, I have realised, is also the one that reawakens my love for the pairing every single time I forget about it and switch on to something else. thank you, writers, so much for everything you have done
