Everyone in the SP universe calling Ghastly ugly and I’m just here thinking he’s like one of the most handsome people I’ve ever seen. Others include Dexter vex, Saracen Rue and Erskine- because I still refuse to accept ghastly’s death
“And you have fixed my Life – however short. You did not light me: I was always a mad comet; but you have fixed me. I spun round you a satellite for a month, but I shall swing out soon, a dark star in the orbit where you will blaze… Someday, I must tell how we sang, shouted, whistled and danced through the dark lanes through Colinton; and how we laughed till the meteors showered around us, and we felt calm under the winter stars. And some of us saw the pathway of the spirits for the first time. And seeing it so far above us, and feeling the good road so safe beneath us, we praised God with louder whistling; and knew we loved one another as no men love for long.”
— Letter from Wilfred Owen to Siegfried Sassoon, November 1917.

hey do you have a tumblr
no sorry
(Dexter Vex/Saracen Rue) (They’ve been together for a few years in this)
Oh god, this quick scene has been in my head for days
Dexter and Saracen stood shoulder-to-shoulder waiting to cross the street. They shared a single umbrella to protect them from the night’s pouring rain. Saracen had been considering something Valkyrie had asked.
“Do you want to get married?” Saracen queried. Dexter looked up at him, “Hmm?”
Saracen hesitated, “Would you be happier if we got married?” Dexter gripped his gloved hand with his own.
“I am happy. I love you,” Dexter assured him, “Would you be happier?”
He shook his head, “No. Val brought it up and I’ve just been wondering. I don’t care about getting married.” Then he added, “But if you ever wanted to, I would immediately.”
Saracen rested his head against Dexter’s shoulder, “I feel the same way.” In return, Dexter squeezed his hand tighter. “Do you want kids?” he blurted.
Saracen choked, “God no.”
Dexter Laughed, “Me neither.”
“We would be terrible parents,” Saracen grinned.
“Yes. Yes, we would.”
pairing: fedyor/ivan word count: 500+ a/n: hi, i’m back, this time with a little drabble about fedyor and ivan saying goodbye right before fedyor goes to find nina and ivan goes with the darkling to find alina. also known as ‘foreshadowing: the drabble’ hope you enjoy!
Fedyor leaves the Darkling’s office with an uneasy feeling in his stomach. Sure, they have been split up before, gone on separate missions countless times, but this feels different. There’s a Sun Summoner now, which makes the stakes feel like a billion times higher than they used to be. There’s always been danger, but this time it feels almost tangible.
He follows the faint sound of Ivan’s heartbeat straight to the garden, where he finds Ivan staring out into the forest surrounding the Little Palace.
“What did he say?” Ivan asks, when Fedyor is withing speaking distance. His back is still toward Fedyor, and he can see the tension in Ivan’s shoulder. His hands are clasped behind his back, his knuckles unnaturally white. He’s clearly very tense, and Fedyor is pretty sure what he has to say isn’t going to make it any better.
“I’m going to the west coast, and then north. Arkesk, if we can make it,” he says, as he comes to a halt next to Ivan. And then, even though he’s pretty sure the other man already knows, “He wants you to stay here. Special mission.”
Ivan hums. “We’re tracking the Sun Summoner. Darkling thinks she’s headed north, for some reason.” He pauses for a second, and then. “You’ll have to travel through the fold.” He doesn’t sound worried, but Fedyor can hear the uptick in his heart, can see the worry lines in the corners of his eyes.
“I’ll be fine,” Fedyor says, trying to sound assuring, trying to hide the fact he himself is still absolutely terrified of the fold. “It won’t be my first crossing.”
“The fold doesn’t become safer the more you pass through it,” Ivan says, tension in his voice. “I can’t help thinking about what would happen if-“
“Hey,” Fedyor says, interrupting him. He turns towards his husband, placing a hand on his cheek. “I’ll be fine. If anything, I’m comforted by the fact you don’t have to travel through the fold. You’ve always had a penchant for trouble, after all. The less time you spend in that damned place, the better.” Ivan frowns at him, and Fedyor can’t help but run his thumb over the creases by his eyes. “I’ll be back before you know it. I promise.”
“Still don’t like it,” Ivan grumbles, but the tension is his shoulders seems to have eased a little bit.
“Well, maybe try focusing on things you do like,” Fedyor says, eyes sparkling. “Like me.”
Ivan sends him a deadpan look, but leans closer anyway. “You are ridiculous.”
“And?” Fedyor asks, running his thumb over Ivan’s cheek.
Ivan grumbles a little and then says, “And I love you very much.”
Fedyor grins, delighted. “I love you too,” he says, and then leans in to kiss his husband.
As far as goodbye kisses go, it’s pretty spectacular. When Fedyor does finally pull away, Ivan’s heartrate is way up and there’s a flush on his cheeks. “I’m going to miss you,” Fedyor says, earnestly.
Ivan nods, but that’s all Fedyor needs to know he’s going to miss him, too. “Stay safe.”
“Always,” he says, pressing one last kiss to Ivan’s lips.
He’s already halfway to the fold when he realizes he never told Ivan to stay safe back. Usually he always does, but it must’ve slipped his mind this time. He shrugs it off. Ivan’s only going on a trip north to retrieve the Sun Summoner. Really, what’s the worst that could happen?

Hello, dear comrade/occasional visitor!
Some time ago I watched the HBO Chernobyl series and since then, this topic has become a subject of my greatest interest and passion.
Here, on tumblr, I met amazing people, with whom I have a great pleasure to discuss not only the series, but also the real events and consequences of the Chernobyl accident, as well as the personality of Valery Alekseevich Legasov.
Since most of the books on the subject of Chernobyl were written in Russian, I took the liberty of translating some of the most important and interesting (in my opinion) excerpts from these books.
Below I provide links to all my translations, I hope you find them just as interesting and worthy of attention as I do.
I would be glad to see your impressions / discussions under the posts.
Enjoy reading!
