hey!! thank you for bearing with me haha. here you go!

a curse befalls your heart by curriebelle : Daniil Dankovsky suffers from a Steppe curse. Burakh performs triage.

ode to the body by kylee : In which Bachelor and Haruspex flatter each other shamelessly.

the scholar and the shaman series by modlisznik : 1. There are times when, to stop death, one needs only to see that someone cares. / 2. Bachelor Dankovsky does not believe in luck. Artemy wants him to understand, that the charm he's offering will protect him - just not in the way Daniil thinks it does. / 3. Daniil is aware that Isidor has been murdered just a few days ago. That his memory is still fresh, his touch lingers in this place. That Daniil, an intruder, shouldn't come down here to Isidor’s workshop - his laboratory - his sanctum - and most certainly, he shouldn't be here to fuck Isidor’s son. Even less, to use the elder Burakh's table for that purpose. He's aware of that. He also doesn't care. / 4. Artemy wonders how Daniil feels about this vastness, autumnal grass as far as the eye can see, the sky so clear, hanging so low, so close you can almost touch it, you can almost get swallowed whole. Insignificant, a little speckle on the face of Earth. Daniil is a creature of the city, Artemy thinks, of clear boundaries, of walls to hide behind, of places to be alone in. He must feel exposed. I'm a bad host, Artemy thinks. / 5. There are two of them, and they attack shoulder to shoulder, their fists raised high. Fools. They're getting in each other's way; should have surrounded their prey instead. That's what Daniil would advise them to do anyway. But he's not here to command a pack of street thugs; tonight, he's here just to watch. There's something satisfying in watching Artemy fight for his life. / 6. "My apologies." Daniil clears his throat. "Usually I reserve views like this for at least fourth, maybe fifth date." / 7. In which the house of the dead is reclaimed by the living, and Artemy learns to dance. / 8. There's sweetness on the back of his tongue. His body aches. Daniil doesn't move; light and heavy at the same time, he feels like he's drifting. He likes these liminal moments, hazy and slow, between the raw sincerity of sex and the everyday life; blurry moments when their bodies are still tender and their thoughts tangled, and they can afford for their emotions to linger just a little bit longer. / 9. Daniil learns about the bargain Artemy has struck to keep Murky safe - and he can't believe it. "You idiot. You could have died."

another sky by saintsrow2 : “Ever since we first met,” Dankovsky says when he takes a second to breathe heavily against Artemy’s neck, “I thought you were beautiful.” The sentiment makes Artemy snort with laughter. Daniil looks up at him from under long eyelashes, smiling in that annoying, gorgeous way that he does. “I am not beautiful,” Artemy says. “Yes, you are.” He talks as if it is inarguable, empirical fact, in that so logical way of his. “Not as a lady in a painting is, no. But you are beautiful, just as the wilds of the Steppe is beautiful. Harsh, maybe, dangerous, perhaps. Alien to me, certainly. But I would challenge anyone to see the sun setting over the hills and the way the grassfields turn golden and not say yes, they are beautiful.”

bite the bullet by any_open_eye : The Bachelor—man of science, child of the capital—has no ritual in him. No way to excise the growing tumor in his heart. Artemy should have seen it building. Expected something drastic. No ritual, but he doesn’t lack for drama. “Oynon.” Artemy reaches for him. The Bachelor finally looks up.(The Bachelor has realized that this is all a farce. the Haruspex helps him through it.)

cor meum ad terrum by gaynagito : Daniil wants to understand Artemiy, but he can't do that without first understanding the Steppe. One thing leads to another.

just the beginning by novaengliae : “If you're so good, why are you still here? Why didn’t you go back with the army?” Sticky asked. Because Burakh said ‘stay’ that night in the Broken Heart, Daniil thought indignantly. Because Artemy Burakh is an impossible man to refuse. Daniil had lost everything. Artemy had gained more than he ever expected. They take things day by day.

in vivo by meradorm : After a long silence, the Haruspex travels to the capital to seek out his old companion.

stranger things by absurdisms : "Tell me, do you ever feel a strange sadness as dusk falls? They say it's the only time when our world intersects with theirs, the only time we can feel the lingering regrets of spirits who have left our world. That is why loneliness always pervades the hour of twilight." (this is shameless self promotion but it's also just a few hundred words so I don't feel too bad about it <3)

I hope some of these are what you're looking for, take care!
