Happy belated birthday, ya gorgeous goblin!

(This cupcake's key ingredient is the fanon incarnation of Svetlana as a woman who not only knows where many bodies are buried but is bts actively involved in a fair amount of burying.)

When Svetlana needs an alias in a hurry, she literally runs with “Iris,” not stopping to think about why she’s claimed that name as she sprints through terminals, arcades, and tunnels to salvage the mission her fellow agent had tried to torpedo.

During the debriefing, her handler tells her the name fits her—an elegant messenger who moves easily among gods, vibrant as a rainbow and as elusive, leaving no trace for mortals to snatch up or hoard for themselves. But when she rejoins a group chat with “Lily” and Rose, she suddenly sees a pattern that says too much.
