As a thank you to my amazing friends who did the TSG Calendar, with LARM being the chief instigator, I wrote a short fic that was posted and then AO3 crashed last night. Does anyone know what the cause was? LARM said something about it being a Mando fic? I saw Tumblr going on about Chapter 10 of something called Heat Wave.
In any event, this is Susan and Tebbitt. It took me FOREVER to get it going -- absolutely demoralizing to stare at 400 words for 2 days. And then I got them out of Ukraine and it finally started to move. I go back to this part of the world a lot for my espionage because I lived there right after the wall came down and it's all still very vivid. We never made it all the way to Ukraine, though our colleagues did. The Balkans were a very very strange place in those days.
The city that they are in, Dnipropetrovsk, now Dnipro, was a "closed" city by sometime in the early 1950s because of the manufacturing and in particular its contributions to the Soviet defense programs and ICBM development. I have no idea if spies actually moved along the river tributaries of the Black Sea and were I really serious about writing this as a genuine spy novel, that would require a lot of research.
( blather about espionage and sacrifice )
There's A LOT going on here. Thank you!
