    Summary

    “I want,” the officer says, walking closer to Artemy, who tears his gaze away from Daniil in favour of the floor. Let them think his panic is because of the general situation, but they absolutely cannot be given the ammunition of figuring out the full extent of their relationship. “For you to explain why, after a year of searching, we find a wanted man in your house. Or do you not know how that came to be, Artemy Isidorovich?”

    Any hopes he could possibly have had left of getting out of this with both of them intact disappears. Artemy doesn’t know what to do, he can’t talk to people like this, not with the finesse you need to get out of this kind of situation – Artemy knows how to work with reputation and favours, necessity or hard work earning respect, he has no idea how to make a man like this officer change his mind on executing them both.

    OR: After a year, everything breaks; the Powers that Be were never going to let them get away, and Artemy struggles to breathe against the powerlessness as he has to figure out a way to put everything back together.

    OR 2: The chase is over, the rat is caught. You can find him, but it will take time, and it will hurt.

    Summary

    - Ты опять думаешь о счетах за электричество, ойнон? - Артемий доел огурцы и смотрел на него с еле уловимым умилением, - По глазам вижу, думаешь, я паразит.

    Как будто, если не платишь за квартиру сразу из человека превращаешься в ленточного червя.

    модерн ау, где псевдоинтеллектуала и любителя варить жижу в алюминиевых кастрюльках связывает дешёвая квартира

    Summary

    The Town and the Kin, an Odongh had once whispered, were sewn together wrong. The plague had torn those old connections apart, and it was left to Artemy Burakh to suture the severed halves back together in a better way. Blood could, and would, flow through them as one common body. And it would, and must, start with solidarity.

    This, too, could be its own form of utopia.

    In which Artemy unionises the butchers and workers, strikes against the rulers, and finds a new way to unite the Town.

    Summary

    "Yeah. I've been teaching the kid about the Kin traditional medicine, keeping him out of trouble the best I can. Though you'd probably say I'm indoctrinating him with backwater lies or some bullshit like that," Artemy spat.

    Daniil contemplated for a second more. "I think we've been tricked."

    Artemy chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief. "Go on."

    "Sticky is my apprentice, Burakh," Daniil revealed at last. "I have been teaching him pharmacology and medicine—or I've been trying to. Unless he has an evil twin like the Changeling, he's been two-timing us."

    Sticky doesn't get why his mentors Daniil and Artemy are at each other's throats all the time. He takes matters into his own hands.

    Summary

    1 September 2165 will be remembered as a momentous day that rattled the scientific world and upended what humanity thought was possible.

    On this day, Thanatica Laboratories completed its greatest project yet: the AVA, a robot that carries within it the sum of a human being. It is a rebirth most marvelous. A breakthrough like never before.

    And most sacrilegiously, a Focus for none other than the soul of Daniil Dankovsky, the man who dreamed of defeating Death.

    Ad Vitam Aeternam.

    A 22nd century Thanatica AU with some illustrated chapters.

    Summary

    So what if his former associates thought of him as a lowlife? So what if he was disgraced from academia? So long as he was still welcomed back into the town-on-Gorkhon, nothing else mattered.
    With quivering hands, he picked up the letter and carefully opened it as though he was afraid something would jump out at him from inside it. But nothing had changed, it was the exact same as when he had first read it a week ago.

    Bachelor Daniil Dankovsky,
    There is another way.
    — Victoria Olgimskaya Sr., The Light Mistress.

    Yes, there was hope for him still, and hope he would cling to till death did them part.

    ———

    Over a year later, Daniil Dankovsky returns to the Town, with a letter from a dead woman and a ticking time bomb inside his own body, in a last-ditch effort to defeat death.

    Summary

    Потолок вдруг стал ближе. В тусклом свете луны было видно, что он навис примерно в метре над Мишкой. Она присмотрелась и увидела, что никакой это не потолок, а дверь. Та самая заколоченная дверь, и она всё приближалась, пока не замерла, почти коснувшись Мишкиного носа.

    Summary

    Daniil Dankovsky was spiralling. There was no other word for it. As much as he wanted to go back to his comfortable academic life in the Capital, he found himself rotting in it instead. Past research in ruins and any ambitions of a new one pushed aside in favour of alcohol and pointless wallowing. The putrid air of smoke-filled bars and busy streets suffocated him just as the plague had. So, before he could properly think about it, he paid his way onto the first coal supply train to town-on-Gorkhon and turned up on Burakh’s doorstep unannounced, but more welcomed than he would have expected.
    In which Daniil Dankovsky confronts his existential crisis in the comfort of the Burakh household, while flirting his way into Artemy’s bed. Other shenanigans ensue

    Summary

    One foot in front of the other; the wheels keep on turning.

    Left hand following the right; the gears whir in motion.

    Breathe in and breathe out; the fuel is refilled, ready to provide.

    If Thanatica required the public’s support to exist, Daniil Dankovsky had to function solely on belief in his own self. Or else they’d both fail.

    Summary

    Daniil cleared his throat.

    “The Powers That Be are the embodiment of order. There are always threads in the universe that dare to hang loose, and like a moth to a flame, they are always there to tug on them. The Powers That Be unravel everything simply to see what falls.”

    “So what? The plague is... it's all gone.”

    Daniil noted the slight tremor in Artemy’s voice. Artemy Burakh also lost many things in the chaos. He must also suffer from the nightmares. He must.

    “They wanted me to die in the plague along with Aglaya and Block and yet, the more information they received from us, the more they urged us to cure the incurable. To preserve the town. Do you hear me? They will not leave a town of miracles alone. It may not be right away… but they will send someone.”

    -

    There's no choice but to build a new life and live with the consequences, and so they do. But the events of the plague left deep wounds with the pain and fear of loss ever looming.

    Summary

    — Он причиняет боль, Медведь. Ты это знаешь.
    — Да. Но он и лечит. То, что мы видели в нем тогда, было отражением нас самих. Он стал тем, кем должен был, чтобы делать свою работу. Мы с ним враждовали, Стах. Представь, каково было нам и каково это было для чужака... каково чужаку до сих пор. — Артемий опустил взгляд. Чума закончилась несколько месяцев назад, и все же они относились к Данковскому как к чужаку. Он сам относился к себе как к чужаку. Как-то иначе называть его было бы неискренне... и все равно это казалось неправильным.
    — Конечно. Людям нужно приспосабливаться к окружающей среде, чтобы выживать. Но змеи не приспосабливаются, когда сбрасывают кожу, не превращаются во что-то новое. Они еще больше становятся собой, — медленно сказал Рубин, глядя на фирменный плащ Даниила на вешалке и подбирая слова осторожно и тщательно.
