    Summary

    An odd flower falls out from the envelope when Flins turns it in his hands. Small seeds with tiny feathered tufts scatter across the pages of the file he had been reading.

    Are all Ratniki as mysterious as you?

    Flins rereads these words in Varka's near-incomprehensible scribble. He hears them in Varka's voice. He sees Varka's smile. Feeling his mouth curl upwards in spite of himself, Flins wonders when Varka will tire of asking questions to which he already knows the answers.

    After a run-in with Flins at the lighthouse, Varka suggests they write letters to each other to stay in touch. Their friendship grows into something much larger than either of them had initially imagined.

    Summary

    “I bite,” Flins warns, low and quiet.
    “Promise?” Varka asks with a wolfish grin.

    Varka finds himself helplessly, recklessly trapped in Flins’s orbit.

    Summary

    Varka tips his head. "What's with the flowers?" he asks. "Got a secret admirer?"

    "No," Flins tells him. Another step forward, he holds them out. "They're for you."

    Summary

    This particular night, Demyan can’t help but notice that Flins and Varka are still on that first bottle of ice wine, glasses still half-full on the table in front of them. At some point during the night, Varka had eased his entire body into the sofa cushions until he was sprawling over more than half of it, his right thigh and foot pressed up against’ Flins’ own. Varka’s arm is wrapped around Flins’ shoulders and he’s laughing.

    The flush in Varka’s cheeks and glimmer of mirth in Varka’s eyes leaves Demyan with the impression that Varka may not have stopped laughing over the past few hours.

    Five times someone thought Flins and Varka were dating each other and the one time they were. Six outside perspectives on their relationship across the events of 6.0 and 6.1.
