    Summary

    Mitya laughs. “Don’t be silly, Sarge! Why are you so scared? It’s not like you have anything to hide from me.”

    Valeriy makes a face like he’s eaten a whole lemon, and says, “Hmm.”

    Valeriy gets hit with a truth serum that forces him to speak his mind. Mitya takes care of him for the day.

    Summary

    Valeriy's not here today, and it feels like he's tilted Mitya's entire world off-kilter with him.

    (or: Mitya finds out Valeriy's gotten himself injured and puts him back together)

    Summary

    A trip to Port Belovodye hits a hurdle when a snowstorm arrives. Mitya and Valeriy have to stay the night in a shared room.

    Or that's what the romance novels that Vodyanitsa gifted him would say. Mitya's still working on it.

    Summary

    Valeriy can't find Mitya. Conveniently, there is a cat on the loose in the Armoury Palace. Surely the Fatui Major can handle two crises at once—or perhaps they're more connected than he thought.

    Summary

    “Is there… no other research you could busy yourself with?” Valeriy suggests.

    He’s right, because Mitya shakes his head. “Nothing, Sarge. Anything I start with- that project’s been my life for so long, I don’t even know if I could learn anything new without connecting it back, and I can’t let the Curse of Death affect anyone again. Never again. And it’s not going to help me to revisit old topics-”

    An idea comes to Valeriy in that moment.

    “Teach me,” Valeriy blurts.

    Mitya stops and stares at him. “What?”

    “Teach me.” Valeriy repeats. “You said you need to feel as though you’re making progress. That you needed to entertain thought without getting bored, without getting into complicated science that could put Snezhnaya’s people at risk. Would my education be tangible enough?”

    Suddenly, he feels very stupid all over again. “Of course, if you’d rather not-”

    “No! No, Valeriy, I-” Mitya stops, and corrects himself, and he’s smiling, just a little. “Sarge. Archons, Sarge, I would love to.”

     

    OR: Valeriy, on the topic of duty and naivety; and Mitya, whom he can't ever seem to catch up to.

    (and in some ways: Eurydice, and Orpheus.)
