anastasia & jester ( @ofsvnlightt )
"looks like we're not in paris anymore pooka," anya made a face as they looked around - the last thing she could remember was being on the boat with dimitri after they'd eloped. "what is this place?" they asked, looking at the first person who passed.

for @kingdom-of-vanity‘s r.asputin
from a.nastasia
verse: film
Guilded palaces were not unfamiliar to her. She’d been born and raised in one, so finding her way through a maze of marbled hallways and rooms with doors that stretched from floor to ceiling was easy. It was made even easier by the fact that most of the floors in Prince Y.usupov’s home weren’t soundproof.
What was strange was the noises she was hearing coming from one room in particular.
“...Grigori?” she said softly, pushing the door open and freezing as she saw a flurry of fabric and the clash of metal blades. She froze, hand on the doorknob, keenly aware of how exposed she really was, her nightgown doing nothing to really cover her up.

Astrology observations 2
Yow im back for more astrology content!! Sorry for not having a consistent astro post, there's just no wifi in the spirit realm and I just came back here in the living world lol.
While meditating in the spirit realm, I wrote a couple of astrology stuff for you guys to relish and enjoy. 👻
🧿 Peeps who have Mars in the 4th house will get extremely triggered (warning: can get physical) if you hurt their loved ones, particularly a family member (e.g., Will Smith).
🧿 Lilith placements in a male's chart have the same effects as in a woman's chart. Some astrologers said that Lilith in a male's chart only indicates what kind of woman they prefer and I think it's bs. If this isn't true then why do well-known male celebs who have Lilith in the 10th house get sexualized a lot? (Examples: Timothée Chalamet (Idk why??), Vladimir Putin, John F. Kennedy, Taylor Lautner, Chris Pratt, & River Phoenix are just a few examples).
🧿 Wow, just found out that Dakota Johnson who is best known for appearing in the Fifty Shades film series has Lilith in the 10th house. It fits her role as Anastasia (the seductive assistant to her boss) so well 🖤
🧿 Pisces suns w/ Neptune in the 1st house are prone to having an eye condition called strabismus or misaligned eyes 🐟
🧿 Your natal chart should not be accessible to anyone actually. While some people are just really curious about your life, some may use this to their advantage over you. So, treat your natal (birth) chart as a private information.
Trust legitimate astrologers only, or better research on your own if you want to understand your natal chart. PRIVACY IS POWER 🔥
🧿 Idk why but Libra risings and Scorpio risings just click. A lot of couples I know have these rising signs and as a Scorpio riser myself, im a fool for Libra risings too. Maybe im attracted to their cheerful/positive energy idk. Maybe it's the opposites attract thing? 🤔
🧿 Politicians who have Leo in the big 3 are admired and zealously loved by their people because of their bravery, heart, and loyalty to their country. They just radiate leo king/queen energy. Examples: Zelenskyy (Leo Moon), Margaret Thatcher (Leo Moon), Obama (Leo Sun), & Queen Elizabeth II (Leo moon) 🦁 👑
🧿 People with Libra Moon "MAY" have imbalanced mothers. Please take note the word "may" as it does not apply to everyone. Additionally, Libra moons love beautiful things and they are prone to criticizing other people's flaws.
🧿 Not all Aries & Scorpio risings look tough, intimidating, and athletic. Some look cute and adorable like those Venusian rising signs, stop with the bullshit stereotypes punks!
🧿 I have seen a lot of posts lately about Venus square Ascendant aspect and I just want to say that you are beautiful/handsome trust me dude; so stop looking at that stupid mirror. Angels like you doesn't deserve to mope around PERIOD.
🧿 All the Leo rising I know have unique 🧠 that makes them stand out from the crowd. This is why a lot of people respect/look up to these folks. Their creativity is out of this world. An example is this hottie @saintzjenx 😳👉🏼👈🏼
🧿 It's actually good to read from different sources if you're studying astrology. Cafeastrology is good for starters, but I suggest that you use Astrodienst extended chart selection. It's more accurate here and it shows you your current transits.
🧿 Everyone please don't mess with people who have strong Capricorn/Saturn energy in their natal chart if you don't want karma to be knocking at your front door asap. You'll get karma like a speed of light trust me because they are protected by Papa Saturn 🛡️
🧿 The 7th house doesn't rule law, it is the 9th house. That is why a lot of people who have 9th house stellium tend to study law and they make great lawyers as well.
🧿 Trendsetter placements: Aries sun, Leo sun/moon/risings, Scorpio sun/risings, Capricorn sun and rising, Pisces sun or dominance, Aquarius sun/moon/dominance, AND Sun, Uranus, Pluto in the 1st house. If you have these placements please comment down below something you did that other peeps imitated 🤳
That's it, beautiful peeps! Gonna go back to the spirit realm to fight some ugly demons hakhak! Stay tuned for more badass astrology content!!!
And for those punks who steal/plagiarize astrology contents w/o giving credits to the owners, this one's for you 🙈:
What do you think about the astrology observations made by me the bad boy from Pluto? Comment down below I want to hear your thoughts.

I honestly am so surprised on Maria Iliushkina's promotion! Her repertoire is quite small considering how many principal roles she's got. She has also been very unappreciated by the theater for so long it makes me wonder... did she get a strong sponsor?🤔 The promotion I'm really hoping for right now is for Belyakov. He deserves it for so long. I'm also a little worried about Anastasia Smirnova's future. Will she get promoted? Is all part of a previous deal? She should have stayed at the MK?🤔
Iliushkina is an interesting case because she doesn’t have a lot of the ‘starter’ principal roles in her rep, likely because mgmt thinks she’s not suited for them (and I agree, I’m not sure how successful she’s be in more soubrette type roles). However, she has quite a few BIG leads in the dramatics (O/O, Raymonda, Nikiya) MT mgmt is often slower to give those type of roles out. And she’s also danced Medora and Lilac Fairy, it’s a decent sized rep for sure and I was expecting her to be promoted after that Bayadere. And yes it’s decently well know that she has a sponsor, several of her debuts were privately arranged on smaller stages first.
I also don’t know why both BT and MT seem to be so slow to promote their men. I mean I get it, because boys generally take 3-5 years after graduation to reach their full strength as their muscle develops and they finish growing. But still when I look at MT, there are a lot of men who I’m like??? Why are you still sitting at 2nd soloist/coryphee??? Belyakov is at the top of that list. Especially considering MT has two male principals who are semi retired and only doing character roles? It makes no sense. Belyakov graduated in 2013, he’s proven himself in a wide variety of roles. He done more than his share of waiting around.
Smirnova’s decisions are puzzling to me. She was on top of the world last year. I think she got maybe 5-6 big principal debuts last year and she was dancing with world class stars like Sarafanov and Vasilliev. You wouldn’t think she’d have any reason to leave, she was being treated so well. Artists at MK can become quite renowned and the theater certainly gets its share of love even though it’s not MT. I certainly don’t think the pay is better as an MT corps member compared to a MK soloist dancing lots, unless Mariinsky really wanted to poach her and gave her some crazy salary. Yet the MK politics right now seem to be messy internally. I’ve talked a bit about my dislike for the general director Vladimir Kekhman after how he handled certain incidents, I can’t imagine he’s a pleasant person to work under. So yea I’m not sure if Smirnova just really really wanted to be at MT or if something internally happened at MK. But regardless, she does seem to be a bit lost in the shuffle right now (and has been ill) as the MT is full of her talented classmates and I hope she has a breakout moment soon.

closed starter for @pinkseokjiins {brielle & anastasia}
Ever since she started this job Brielle was constantly learning new things. Whether it was how to enhance her tips with her outfits or using her charm to convince guests to order a private dance or even bottle service. Still she was finding herself at odds when she was presented with new requests from patrons. Tonight for example the man who had requested a private dance from her wanted more. With a fake smile she slipped out of the room desperately searching for the woman who had been her constant guide since the moment she stepped into the club. “Ana,” she called out reaching for the other a desperate plea in your voice paired with her pleading eyes. “Can you help me? The man I’m with, he wants me to... be with another dance but not dancing together? I’m... I’m not sure I know what he wants. Can you come back there with me, help me out? I’ll follow your lead and promise I won’t ruin it. I’ll even give you most of the tips, he’s a huge spender I just... I just don’t wanna mess this up and upset him. He seems like the type that we should make happy you know?”

Crown Princess Anastasia Spotted Out and About with Boyfriend!
After news of the relationship broke on the cover of the Carrington Gossip magazine, Crown Princess Anastasia has been barely seen in public, mostly spotted arriving and leaving school, or going to one of her friend’s houses.
This evening though, she made her first appearance at a charity event alongside her boyfriend, Peter Gathen, the son of rising politician Henry Gathen. The future Queen wore a stunning midi-length red dress and allowed her beautiful brown hair fall down naturally.
The event was organized by Carson Patterson and raises money for the Carrington Independent Artists Foundation, which services independent artists from varying mediums and provides them with the tools they need for success in their future endeavors. It is also suspected to be one of the first patronages of the Crown Princess.
Representing the program and one of it’s kick starters was Hisirdoux Caspersen, who also preformed his new single, Born to Run, at the event.
The rest of the event remained private to cameras, but according to the event’s organizers, over $1.3 million simoleans were raised for the charity within 1 hour. Excellent job Your Royal Highness!

QUESTION OF THE DAY #9: What’s a musical cast album you’re super into right now? Also, what’s a song from that show that you would recommend someone listen to in order to get interested in the cast album?
MY ANSWER: i’m into a few rn: A Bronx Tale - Belmont Avenue, Out of Your Head, or These Streets // Bandstand - Right This Way or Welcome Home (Finale) // & Juliet - so many but Domino, Since U Been Gone, Roar, and Confident are absolute bops // My Fair Lady - Get Me to the Church on Time, Wouldn’t It Be Loverly, or I Could’ve Danced All Night
SUMMARY OF ANSWERS: 3/26 said a song from Hadestown, 4 from Six, 2 from the SpongeBob Musical, and the rest was a really interesting combination of both rare and popular musicals. Read them all under the cut!
Anonymous said: getting super into great comet; would recommend the prologue because 1) it's a bop, and 2) the whole point of the song is to explain the show
Anonymous said: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! For songs to listen to, The Candy Man is the obvious choice, but It Must Be Believed to Be Seen and Strike That, Reverse It are great too!!
Anonymous said: kind of niche, but lately ive been into the love's labour's lost album, and id recommend the song change of heart!
Anonymous said: i only just got interested in hamiltion and six but i love both albums so much. to get interested in hamilton, listen to you'll be back, and to get interested in six, listen to six.
klatukattdreams said: SpongeBob the Musical is fantastic. Bikini Bottom Day, the opening number really gets you in the spirit and I'm going to stop there or I'll recommend the whole album. :)
i-polluxx said: Really into the Alice By Heart album right now. Usually I'd recommend Down the Hole for anyone listening for the first time but if you're like me and you love Grace Mclean, listen to Isn't it a Trial.
thatbookshelf said: I absolutely love The Clockmaker's Daughter right now! I'd recommend listening to 'Spindlewood' or, if you're a fan of Ramin Karimloo, to 'You're Still Here'
zoueriemandzijnopmars said: I’m (to be fair, it was on it’s height two weeks ago) super into SIX right now, I would either recommend Ex-Wives or Don’t Lose your Head, the first because it actually explains the musical and the second because I just really love it, and it was also the song I first loved from it.
Anonymous said: right now i'm really into Pacific Overtures! I love a ton of the songs but to get into i'd probably say Four Black Dragons!
Anonymous said: I've been really into the original Side Show album lately. My favorite song to listen to is "Private Conversation" but the big ballads, "Who will love me as I am?" and "I will never leave you," are probably the best to start with.
Anonymous said: I've been re-listening to spring awakening. The whole thing is full of bangers that are either sad or angry. I would say "and then there were none" is a good song. If you're looking for something more upbeat "totally fucked" is great.
Anonymous said: id say im pretty equally into bandstand and bonnie and clyde rn! id recommend 'nobody' from bandstand and 'this world will remember us' from bonnie and clyde!
Anonymous said: ive been really into mean girls lately!
spacetrashpile said: I guess it’s not really a cast album, but High Noon Over Camelot! It’s an album that tells a story like a musical except it was never actually a stage show. Anyways, I’d recommend Gunfight at Dolurus Guard or The Hanged Man Rusts!
Anonymous said: EITHER the SpongeBob musical or In the Heights. for SpongeBob, it’d probably be Bikini Bottom Day and Blackout for ITH that’d get someone into those musicals :D
pinkwelshdragon said: Hadestown - "Wait for me" or "Livin' it up on top" (can't decide, both are awesome!)
Anonymous said: My new favourite is Anastasia and "In my dreams" is a beautiful song to start with!
Anonymous said: Definitely Hadestown- I feel like the normal song to suggest would be Way Down Hadestown or Chant but I would say Wait For Me (reprise) bc I love it
Anonymous said: super into we are the tigers, listen to the finale (or really just the whole album, it's only about an hour long)
Anonymous said: I'm really into Six right now and would suggest "Don't Lose Your Head". It's one of the catchier songs and each song has their own style 🍑
Anonymous said: I’ve been vibing to Ultimate Storytime because it slaps!! And hmm the opening title number is probably the best intro to it, it’s a pretty good summary of what you’re in for. Warrior Girl is also a bop
softboy-punx said: Bright Star, and the song If You Knew My Story 💙
empiresprincess said: Six is my current obsession. Starter songs Like Drama and irony and questionable taste? Don’t Loose Your Head Like calm decisions and eventually beautiful harmony? I don’t need your Love Like starting at the beginning or songs that explain the entire premise of the show? Ex-Wives My current fav? All You Wanna Do Want a song about bizarre renaissance beauty standards styled to be German techno for reasons that make sense if you pay attention? House of Holbein YAAAA!
Anonymous said: Right now it's the NTYW version of Hadestown, and I use Chant I to get people into it!!!
Anonymous said: 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee! A good song from it is Pandemonium
youcanlolyoucansayohwell said: Amelie. A song I would recommend is Time Are Har[d] for Dreamers.

“You’ve worked hard. You’ve earned it.”
anastasia broadway dialogue starters, pt. iii. | accepting | @serpentinewxman
Had the whispers and chattering from the small birds already traveled that far across campus?
Exhausted gaze lethargically move from the stack of ink-stained and ink-loved papers and opened grimoires on top of the desk to sharp, emerald eyes known for its glisten whenever impetuous thoughts were enacted through impulse. Such a telling sign of recklessness and not a doubt came to mind when she concurred with her assumption that whoever quietly, and rudely failed to announce themselves, into her cramped office had been no other than Night Raven College’s Ancient Curses instructor, Professor McCulloch.
Scarred right hand flattens out into the air, a gentle whisk of her wrist, and the floating books and papers enclosing and circling her desk, working with its own mechanism and purpose, instanteously cease. All remained levitated in the air, hovering up and down, as if time itself ceased. As for the left hand, the librarian rests down the quill from her hand into the ink pot, unwilling to risk blotting. Both hands lay to rest above her lap, her body shifts from the creaking chair, and she stands to address the guest.
“To what do I owe the privilege for such an esteemed member of your faculty to remove herself from her busy schedule to visit the lights of me?” A routine inquiry was hard to shake herself from, but she knowingly smiles with her head slowly tilting to the side, silver locks with traces of white mimicing the movement. Professor McCulloch, not one to fashion herself to pleasantries, responds with a nonchalant response, the realistic answer as to why she navigated through the labyrinth of a library to find her.
“No matter if you’re here some minutes or some hours,” she hums, “take a seat.” Within seconds, and much to the professor’s surprise, one of the armrest chairs shoved into the corner of the office taps against the back of her knees. “And, ah,” her eyes faintly glance down, spotting a thin teal box,one whose top has to slide off from the top, “I see now.”
( ... )
Shuffle, shuffle. The steps of active footsteps approaching the reception desk centered in the library. Not an uncommon sight, yet not unexpected, was an eager student. Seated behind the desk, she’ll soon see them approaching closer, sauntering.
Warmly greeting the other, she raises her chin, sweetly smiling with as musing as an old woman like herself could. “Good morrow, how may I be of assistance today?”
Unruly posture, unable to keep still, one could only implore if this student wasn’t only here out of self-interest, but fueled by the anxiety of procrastionation.”Are you here in preparation for Professor Divel’s work due later on this week? It’d be of no problem to find what you’re ---”
“I know what you are.”
She didn’t want to hear that. Not the persona who occupied the seat, but the one existing in mind didn’t want to. Little she recalls, little she understands, and she knows what it means to ‘know.’ She knows what it was like to stare back at the stranger in the mirror, recognizing it as you without ‘knowing’ the you. It was horrifying.
“Pardon?”
Slam. Two hands now on the tabletop, the man leaning in, repeating what he said before.
“Sir, I don’t understand.” I do understand. Please stop, please stop, please stop.
“Yes, you do. And I need you, I need something of yours--” And that was when his form lunged forward, aiming at her throat.
( ... )
An incident on the first-floor of the library was an isolated incident between a Pomefiore first-year and the Head Librarian. A ruckus it made, the screaming drowned any peace left in the morning before it muffled and gagged. Two Savanaclaw students rushed in, immediately on the alert. In the end, the situation was resolved. The head librarian unharmed and the student restrained. By what or whom? By nothing and by no one. As if it was told to stay down and he did so willlingly. The only damages reported was a fractured jaw.
“The outcome of that situation is only natural. It is what I must do as a faculty member, Shanice.” She sighs. “It was only natural for me to return back to work after a small mishap with one of the students. It wouldn’t be proper for me to abandon station for something as unimportant as shaken nerves.” Far from the truth when she was cooped up in her private office, a strange thought to pursue, but it felt so natural to do, so easy to follow through. “It isn’t the first time at the College that rumors have gotten remarkably out-of-hand.”
This time, I was a chimera. A creation of grafted materials from other living, or once living, species of a variety that was built together to make new life. A scientific marvel, it was, but it was a product. And people were as selfish to take claim that a product has things to provide like blood, skin samples, hair, and other materials. And the student had needed blood, Gorgon blood to be precise, for a forbidden spell and it was then that the rumors clouded his better judgment.
Last time, I’d been a fae of a dying species, long since unrecorded as the Land of Thorns’ greatest sorcercess, a fae herself, rid of them for their insolence over petty matters.
What will I be considered next?
"You mustn’t spoil me, Shanice,” the formalities dropped, “all I was doing was continuing with my day. It isn’t something to be called ‘hardwork’ for doing extra leg-work. And even if I did mitigate a situation, again, that’s what we’re supposed to be. Our students are our priority, our pride, our future.”
“However--.
And underneath the rim of her hat reveals a wide-eyed stare, the physicality of the Head Librarian vanishing. The true girl behind the curse was revealing, her expression of placidity shifting to helplessness.
“...Can you stay for a while? Please? We can enjoy those macarons together.”

Pretty Little Ballerina (Nikki x Reader)
Title: Pretty Little Ballerina
Summary: Nikki meets a dancer, but it’s not what he thinks.
Warnings: Slight language
AN: For @flamencodiva
Nikki knew (Y/n) had moves. He had met her while playing on the strip. She had been dancing in one of the rooms with her friends to some canned music and he had convinced her to come over and watch the band. Watching him play got her hooked to that music, and she tried her hardest to be there to watch him play. But there were several nights she wouldn’t be there and he hoped that she would be.
“Hey, where were you?” Nikki called to (Y/n) over the band as he came up to her. She was settled in a booth, her feet stretched out onto the next one.
“Sorry! I needed to rest my feet.” She laughed a little.
“What do you do?” He asked her.
“I’m a dancer.” She told him as he took a seat in the seat across from her.
“A dancer huh?” He asked with a wink. She tapped him with her foot.
“Not that kind of dancer perv!” She laughed. “I’d invite you to come watch, but I don’t think it’s really your style.”
“What makes you think that?” He asked, leaning back to show off his dirty Led Zeppelin t-shirt.
“Well, for starters, Led Zeppelin isn’t exactly an accepted attire.” She told him. “Look, if you really want to come see me, wear your nicest clothes and come here. When you get to the ticket booth, say your name. I’ll leave you a ticket.” She took a pen from her bag and wrote the address on a cocktail napkin. “I came by because I thought you guys were playing tonight, but I gotta get home. I’ve got practice tomorrow morning and a show tomorrow night.” She stood up, wincing a little. “See you later Sixx.”
****
“Dude, what are you wearing?” Tommy asked as he leaned against the wall, watching Nikki adjust his polo shirt. “Is that...polo?”
“Shut up man.” Nikki said. “I got a thing tonight, okay?”
“But you’re gonna miss a gnarly party up on the coast.” Tommy told him, slapping his arm. “It’s gonna be hot chick city.”
“Sorry man. I made these plans and I can’t back out.” Nikki said. “(Y/n) would hate me.”
“(Y/n)? That chick that’s came to our gigs that you get all gooey for?” He laughed. “This is a lot of hoops to jump through to get laid man.”
“Shut up.” He rolled his eyes. “Look, I gotta go alright. Maybe if I get done in enough time, I’ll come by your stupid party.”
“Whatever man. More chicks for me.” Tommy laughed. Nikki rolled his eyes.
“Yeah if Vince is there, you’re not getting anything.” Nikki teased before he grabbed his jacket and headed out the door.
****
Nikki parked his car. He looked at the theater and sighed. (Y/n) was right, this wasn’t really his scene. But the club hadn’t been hers and he got her to keep coming. So he owed her that much. Making his way to the ticket booth, the sweet looking old woman looked up at him.
“Uh, there should be a ticket for Nikki Sixx.” He told her. She smiled.
“Oh, you’re (y/n)’s friend!” She said. She got the envelope with his name on it and slid it to him. “Enjoy the show!”
“Thanks.” He offered her a nervous smile before making his way in. He passed through the lobby, feeling out of place compared to all the overdressed people. He waited around for the doors to open, then found his seat. As the house lights went down and the performance started, he couldn’t stop staring. The scenery was beautiful, the costumes were beautiful, the story of Anastasia made sense even without words. It was like how he could convey a story with just music and lyrics. They were doing it without the words.
He could see (Y/n) in the cast. She could leap and twirl with ease. Nikki knew it took a lot of skill to do that without breaking something. He knew it had to be a lot of practice. No wonder her feet her. He knew the first night he saw her months prior that she could dance, he just didn’t know how good she was at it.
At intermission, Nikki wanted to go see (Y/n), but he knew he couldn’t. He wanted to tell her how amazing she was, but he also didn’t want to break her concentration. So he made his way back to his seat for the rest of the performance. And it was just as good as the first part. Everyone stood and clapped at the end, including Nikki. He had never once thought that he would be one for dancers that kept their clothes on the entire performance, but (y/n) made him want to see more.
****
“That was amazing you know.” Nikki said as he saw (Y/n) come out of the backstage door. She jumped, almost dropping her purse in the process. “Shit. Sorry.”
“Nikki? What are you doing here?” She asked. “I didn’t actually think you’d come.”
“What? I love the ballet.” He said, smiling at her. “Well, I mean I love watching you dance in the ballet that is.”
“(Y/n), still need a ride?” One of her friends asked.
“I can take you home.” Nikki said. “Give me an excuse to get something to eat with you.”
“I’m good Caroline.” (Y/n) told her. Her friend nodded and went towards her car while (Y/n) went with Nikki. “So, you actually liked it?”
“I loved it.” He admitted, walking her towards his car. “I would gladly watch you dance anytime.” (Y/n) leaned in and whispered to him.
“Play your cards right and you might get a private show.” She winked before getting into his car.
For the first time in all his years of living, Nikki was at a loss for words.
The End

closed starter for @sonnetss
anastasia has a tendency for finding a way to ruin good things. it was that same self-sabotage that landed the princess at the center of someone else’s drama the night of the ball. liquid courage and a kind-heart were the only justifications for her irrationality. in the end, she’s disgusted with the embarrassment it’s caused her. pouty lips suck in yet another gasp of air. tears roll down her cheeks like a river flooding. the princess takes her drink and slow stroll toward the balcony for a more private place to sulk. it comes as a surprise to see yusuf loitering there. “i’m not leaving so if you don’t want to listen to me cry and watch gossip girl, you should go.” the princess warns.

❛ hi. ❜ céline said, tone soft as she leans against the door of anastasia’s office. she had weaseled her way in, telling some man that worked for ana that she was just looking for her boyfriend; in truth, she hadn’t spoken with the guy in a few weeks, always saying she was too busy studying or too tired to go out, but in truth, céline had been knocking on anastasia’s door nearly every night that week. ❛ do you have time to eat dinner ? ❜ the red-head asked, raising her arm to show the bag of take out boxes she’d been holding. ❛ i hope you do, because it would be a real shame to have all this food go to waste. ❜ // private starter for @fierytragcdy

@somptueusesignora | plotted starter!
This morning, Gleb delayed his return to Russia by a week, telling the Commissioner her only needed more time to find the girl. He’d found her two days ago. He’d let her go two days ago. Whether she was or was not Anastasia did not matter. She had no designs on destroying Russia; he had not been able to pull the trigger. Whoever she was and wherever he let her flee to, when Gleb returned to Russia, he would go to his death in her stead. He knew the order of things. It hadn’t much changed from Imperial rule. He who went against the government was never heard of again.
If he didn’t return to Russia, another eager upstart - one just like he had been - would take his place. The hunt would resume. Anya would die by the hands of a stranger. This, Gleb could not allow. Whatever he was, he was not his father’s son.
Who was he now?
Laughter spilled from a nearby bar as drunks tumbled out onto the street. Slurring to each other in English loudly, pointing at Gleb and his shoes, laughing, they carried on. Gleb scowled. He didn’t have to know the language to guess what they were saying. Pushing off the railing, Gleb stepped down the cobblestones. As he walked, looking for some place quieter, more private. He wandered through neighborhoods, further away from the hotel in which the government had put him up. At last he found a quiet bridge. Shimmering up at him, reflecting Paris’ lights, the Seine did not look so different from the Neva. Gleb stared into the water. How easy it would be to disappear here. He thought of his mother’s words. Your father died of shame, Glebka. He’d heard the gunshot; even then, not wanting to believe it he knew his father had not died of shame, but by his own hand. And he was not his father’s son. Was he?
Years of climbing through the Bolshevik government taught him never to relax, to always be aware of his surroundings. He heard footsteps - light, heeled clicks on the stone - approach. Tensing, he swiveled his head to see. Instead of an armed guard, stood a woman. She seemed as surprised to see him as he was to see her. A nervous smile flickered across Gleb’s face and he pushed back his hair in an effort to look less like a man in the midst of treason. Wetting his lips, he struggled for words. When he found him, he managed to say -
“Good evening, mademoiselle. Are you- Is this your bridge?”
He recognized her face somewhere. Usually, Gleb never forgot a face. Usually he could easily pair it with a name. Now, he was stuck. He studied her as the stupidity of his own words reached his ears.
“Forgive me. I’m not myself tonight. ,,. No that you’d know the difference.” A quiet laugh, a shake of his head. “It’s Gleb. I mean, I’m Gleb.”
No more Deputy Commissioner General Gleb Vaganov. Only a frightened man, in a land that was not his own, cracking under pressure from across the continent.. He stuck out his hand for a handshake. What else could he do?

as usual, dimitry was up to no good - stealing and conning people was the main source of his income. even though he’d had a few run-ins with the police, that never really deterred him. but yet again, he found himself being detained, his hands restrained behind his back with a set of handcuffs. “honestly, officer, this is harassment - I wasn’t doing anything wrong.” a complete lie, but he’d been lying and stealing his whole life, what was the harm in telling another lie? he rolled his eyes, completely ignoring the words the officer was saying - he’s heard it all before. “listen - I was just waiting for my girlfriend, okay!” it was probably a stupid plan, but as soon as he spotted a pretty blonde approaching them, he motioned her over with his head the best he could. “babe! I could use some help here!” he hoped and prayed that she would play along, if not it would be another night in the holding cells for him. “I need you to tell them I was waiting for you, they don’t believe me!”
