"Various Storms and Saints" Part II

Armand x Daniel Molloy

NSFW

Warnings: Role play, power play, sex toys, consensual dub/non-con. Look, Armand is one kinky bastard.

Dedicated to @faerywhimsy because when one of the greatest writers of the fandom tells you they would like to read more of a certain story, you sit your ass down until midnight and GET IT DONE.

MY MASTERLIST

Daniel Molloy was too old for this shit. A short few decades ago, when he had been an intrepid reporter with too much courage and too little sense, he had never thought twice about grabbing a hammer and helping the Mauerspechte to tear down the wall, standing in front of the tanks in Iraq or sleeping inside the ruins of a dilapidated building while the bombs fell from the sky in Sarajevo. Hell, only twenty years before he had used his own body to shield a woman and her child from an angry mob in Gujarat, and it had been one of the best decisions he had ever made in his life. But now, with the big seventies biting his heels and a terminal disease prognosis, he was forced to admit maybe, just maybe, his Indiana Jones days were over. He was pretty sure he had dislocated his shoulder slamming it against the -not particularly sturdy- door, and he could feel his foot throbbing from where he had kicked the lock down. At least he had succeeded in that, even if the only reason were his trusty old Docs he had owned since the eighties and refused to throw away. He tried not to think about how pathetic it was the fact that those boots were his longest-standing relationship. 

“Doctor Du Lac? Doctor Du Lac, stay with me!” Lightly slapping the cheeks of the young man lying on the grey couch, Daniel tried to keep him awake until the paramedics arrived. He had no idea what he had been given or how much of it, had no idea if he was about to overdose or if the loss of consciousness was the intended effect of whatever it was on his system. By the way the man’s wrists were tied together and his state of undress, he could infer it was, but there was no way to be sure. All he was sure of was Dr. Louis De Pointe Du Lac had gone, was still going, through something traumatic, and it was both a mercy and a cruel trick from fate that he had programmed their date for that exact day and time, that Daniel had for once arrived somewhere a little early, just in time to stop the attack from becoming something even worse, but too late to stop it from happening altogether. 

“Mo- Molloy?” 

That was good, recognition was good. It meant his brain was working, somewhat. 

“What happened here? Do you remember anything?”

A mumble was all the reply Du Lac was capable of. Daniel had to lean until his face was mere inches away from his to be able to make out the words.

“L’estat…” Du Lac was repeating, like a litany, “l’estat, l’estat…”

Daniel cursed internally,

“I’m sorry, I can’t- I don’t speak French” He was fluid in Spanish and Italian, could manage Gujarati, Bosnian, Serbian, and even knew a few words in Ukrainian and Arabic, but French had always eluded him. Now, someone needed his help, was trying desperately to tell him something and Daniel didn’t have a clue what it might be. Taking out his phone, he quickly opened the app and recorded Du Lac’s slurred words. Maybe he would be able to figure them out later. “I’m sorry, son” 

Daniel apologized again, but Du Lac didn’t seem to resent him, on the contrary, he was holding onto Daniel’s hand with as much strength as he could, his face filling with panic when the older man went to move away to let the paramedics in, only settling down once Daniel was in his line of vision again. 

“Mister Molloy? I’m Tammy, you called 911, didn’t you?” An alarmingly young officer approached him as two METs loaded Du Lac onto a gurney. 

“Yeah, I did” Daniel replied, feeling suddenly very tired. The adrenaline kick was finally fading.

“I have to ask, did you move him? Touched anything? Did you put him on the couch?”

Daniel shook his head,

“No, that’s where he was when I managed to break in, I took the throw blanket from the back of the couch to cover him, but other than that I didn’t touch anything, didn’t want to contaminate the crime scene”

The officer smiled approvingly, Daniel tried very hard not to feel condescended. 

“Thank you, that will be very useful if the victim decides to report”

“Wait, if he decides to report?” 

The officer seemed unphased,

“Well, the department might investigate anyway or transfer the case to our SVU if we find there is enough evidence to suspect a crime, but that will have to wait until we can talk to Mister De Pointe Du Lac”

“Enough evidence to suspect a crime? Exactly what do you think this is, some BDSM shit? some role-playing gone wrong?” Daniel could almost feel his blood pressure rising,  “I heard the struggle, I had to break the god damned door! The guy was naked and tied up with zip ties for fucks sake!” he had been a queer man in the seventies, he knew what kink looked like, and this wasn’t it.

“Believe me, sir, I know how frustrating it can be, but it’s the procedure and there is nothing I can do to change it,” Her face softened, her tone turning concerned. Daniel didn’t know which one he despised more. “Now, you need to calm down. Are you feeling alright? Would you like me to tell one of the paramedics to check you out?”

Daniel shook his head again, biting his tongue so as not to bark at her that he was old, not decrepit. Fucking useless cops.

“Is there anyone you want me to call, maybe a family member? To come pick you up?”

With narrowed eyes, Daniel informed the officer that he was perfectly capable of making his own way home, thank you very much. As it was, if anybody back home found out what he had been up to, he would have enough hell to pay without an alarming call from the police. 

Luckily for him, when Daniel arrived, he found the apartment empty, all the lights out, and a dirty coffee cup still on the counter, letting him know no one had been home since morning. Thank god for the small mercies, Daniel thought as he settled in his office, hoping to grade some papers for his university job, the one that actually paid the bills. Well, his bills anyway. However, he didn’t manage to read more than a handful of essays before the bell interrupted him.

“Aayat is that you? You lost your keys again-" Daniel stopped short in the middle of his sentence as he opened his front door, uncomprehending. 

There, standing in the middle of the hallway, looking at him with huge Bambi eyes, was not his daughter as he had expected, but him. 

Dressed casually in dark jeans, a vintage Loyola University sweatshirt, and black sneakers with red soles that betrayed their price tag, stood Armand Ahmedov, looking for all the world like the ordinary, everyday TA Daniel knew he wasn't. 

There was nothing ordinary about that boy, not his lustrous black curls, nor his perfect golden brown skin, and definitely not his Caravaggio angel face. Armand was too pretty and too brilliant to be anything but trouble. 

“Good evening, Professor Molloy” He greeted, overly formal, making Daniel frown.

“Armand, I’m not in the mood for-”

“Please, professor” The boy insisted, undeterred by Daniel’s sour face, “This will only take a minute”

Somehow, Daniel doubted that. He let him in anyway. 

It was a somewhat awkward walk through the apartment and back into his office, though Daniel had no reason to be nervous. At least not yet. Decorum mandated that he sat at his desk, so he did exactly that. But Armand came to a stop before it, eyes still fixed on Daniel. Sighing, the old men motioned at the chair in front of him, then and only then Armand took his seat.

“So, mister Ahmedov, I assume this isn’t a social visit…”

Armand had the decency to look embarrassed,

“It isn’t, and I apologize, both for the late hour and for inconveniencing you in your home.” Yeah, right, Daniel thought. Yet he couldn’t deny that watching the normally stoic young man, proud to the point of arrogance, fidget anxiously with the sleeves of his too-big sweatshirt was kind of endearing. 

��As I’m sure you noticed, I haven't turned in the last homework you assigned us yet…”

“No extensions” Daniel shot back automatically, “That’s the rule. A deadline is a deadline”

Armand blushed. He honest to god blushed.

“A- actually, between my other assignments and my job at the paper, I don’t think I’ll be able to do it at all”

Daniel scoffed,

“So what are you doing here? Do you expect me to just give you the credits for free?”

Armand gulped, lowering his eyes, suddenly unable to meet Daniel’s.

“Not… not for free, professor” He stammered, “I… I could make it up to you”

“I… what?”

The young brunet took a deep breath, seemingly gathering his courage before raising from his chair and rounding the desk. Instinctively, Daniel turned his chair toward him.

“I can make it up for you, professor” Armand repeated more firmly, letting his fingertips caress the dark mahogany of the desk. Daniel couldn’t help but zero on the movement. “Anything you want me to, I’ll do it”

“Armand…”

“I’ve noticed the way you look at me, professor” Armand interrupted his attempt at protesting, “The way your eyes linger on me, the way they trace my movements in the classroom. I like it. I like your attention on me”

Now that Daniel did not doubt. If it was something Armand seemed to thrive on, was attention. 

But Daniel wasn’t that kind of man. He had never fantasized about sleeping with a student, in fact, he felt a deep disdain for those in the faculty who did get involved with a student. Even when all parts involved were adults, he could never get over the ick factor of it all.

“Listen, Armand-” He tried again, but the boy stepped forwards, boldly taking hold of Daniel’s knees and separating them to make room as he fell to his knees, and the little voice of conscience in Daniel’s head fell silent.

“I can make it good for you, professor” Armand’s voice coaxed, softly making its way to Daniel’s ears, muffled by his own blood racing inside his veins, not exactly in the direction of his head, “Let me make it good for you…”

Daniel shouldn’t. He knew he shouldn’t. It was wrong and it was twisted, it was the lowest, the most despicable way of taking advantage of someone. 

And he wanted it. 

Looking down at the big doe eyes of the boy kneeling between his legs, Daniel realized he wanted it. 

"Please, Professor Molloy" Armand pleaded, perfect little mouth puckered into a pout. The little shit, "I want you to do it. I want you to use me"

There was a beat, then two, as Daniel tried to get hold of the meager strands of his feeble self-control. And then he lounged.

Bending almost in half, Daniel crashed his mouth against Armand’s hot and moist one, plunging his tongue into it at once in a hungry, messy kiss. Armand offered no resistance, letting the older man ravage his mouth to his heart's content, only breaking the kiss when the need for oxygen forced him to. Emboldened by Daniel’s response, Armand went for the button of his slacks, but Daniel got hold of his wrists, stopping him.

“Professor, what’s wrong?” 

Fuck, he sounded so young, so vulnerable. It made Daniel want to wreck him. 

“You thought it would be so easy, didn’t you? That you’d walk into my house, begging all pretty, then suck my cock and I would give you an A, just like that?”

Armand frowned in confusion,

“I- I thought…”

“Get up” 

“But-”

“Now!” Daniel commanded with as much authority as he could muster with a raging hard-on tenting his pants. The young TA scrambled to obey. Daniel noticed with satisfaction that he was sporting a bulge in his pants of his own. 

“On the desk” He leaned back, making room for Armand to sit in front of him, “Legs open”

Daniel would be lying if he said it didn’t send a little thrill through him, to see the beautiful boy do as he was told, even going as far as placing his palms flat on the desk at either side of him, submissively, waiting to see what Daniel would do next. 

He decided that what he wanted to do next was indulge. 

“Take your sweatshirt off” Before the words were done leaving Daniel’s mouth, the boy’s maroon sweater and t-shirt were on the floor. Apparently, Armand was a very good boy. Who would have thought?

Of course, that was Daniel’s last coherent thought for a couple of minutes, the amount of bronze skin exposed enough to cause eighty-six billion neurons to go out of commission.

“Fuck, you truly are pretty”

Armand’s whole demeanor changed, softening somehow. Relaxing. And Daniel was rewarded with a deep, tender kiss. A sensuous affair of tongues sliding against each other, neither dominating nor dominated, kissing for the sake of kissing, for the sake of sucking the boy’s plush lower lip into his mouth and feeling his silky soft curls between his fingers, of coaxing those delicious sighs and little whines out of his throat. It whetted Daniel's appetite till he was ready to devour. 

With an oh-so-gentle shove to Armand’s shoulder, Daniel laid him back on his cluttered desk like a feast, knocking over pens and papers and even his goddamned laptop. Nothing mattered to him more than the boy with the sun-kissed skin currently under him, moaning sweetly as Daniel bit bruises down his neck. It was a herculean effort to part from Armand long enough to tear those criminally tight jeans from his body, getting briefly tangled in his red soles before brute strength alone forced them to hit the floor with a thud, one after the other. The kid had committed to the role, Daniel had to give him that: The lack of underwear was somewhat expected, but to see him like that, to see Armand’s skin smooth, clean shaved everywhere, well… there was something so lewd, something so dirty about it, whatever was left of Daniel’s feeble self-control snapped. He gave Armand no warning, no chance of bracing himself before taking his entire length into his mouth, swallowing him whole, relishing in the wordless scream he let out.

Armand’s cock was long, all of him was, and so thick that, even if he relaxed his throat and breathed through his nose, Daniel had no chance of getting any air into his lungs unless he retreated a little. Armand didn’t seem to mind though, clutching at the edges of the desk so hard his knuckles were white, looking at Daniel through big, wet dark eyes.

“Pro- professor…” 

Daniel smoothed a soothing, possessive touch down the boy’s sides, his ribs, his bony hipbones, before pinning them down to the wood, and starting to bob his head up and down, letting the mushroom head of Armand’s dick hit the back of his throat, swallowing around it on every other stroke. Those were efficient movements, designed to get the boy off as quickly and hard as possible. Professional movements perfected in dirty bathroom bars and dark alleyways during the seventies; Armand, experienced, proud, and worldly as he was, didn’t stand a chance. It took no time at all for his eyes to shut and hips to spasm, trying in vain to buck blindly into the mouth that never faltered, never went faster, but simply knew exactly just how to extract the pleasure out of him in the most economical way. The boy came with a shout, nearly causing Daniel to choke, little strings of milk white dripping down Armand’s cock even as Daniel chased them with his tongue. No one could say Daniel Molloy didn’t clean up his messes.

Once he was done, he didn’t waste any time in niceties, flipping up the dazed young man and manhandling him until he was bent over the desk, his chest against the cool wood and ass up in the air. Armand was much too tall for his feet to dangle over the floor, but he was too surprised and disoriented to find purchase on it anyway. It wasn’t until Daniel took his wrists and secured them to the small of his back with one of his pale, wrinkled hands that the boy started to struggle. Daniel released him, jumping back as if he had been electrocuted.

“Babe? Shit, are you ok?” When Armand didn’t reply at once, Daniel stepped around, ignoring his ancient, stiff knees as he lowered himself directly into Armand’s line of view. 

To his surprise, his lover’s face, far from distressed, was smiling pleasantly, almost peacefully. However, it wasn’t entirely reassuring, Daniel himself was well acquainted with that hazy limbo, where the body felt floaty and the world blurry, and nothing that happened to him felt a hundred percent real. He knew how important it was the other person was completely conscientious not to cross any limit or betray your trust, even unintentionally, in such a vulnerable state.

“Babe, come back to me,” He demanded, snapping his fingers in Armand’s face, “tell me your color. I need you to tell me what is your color…”

That seemed to do the trick, his boy’s eyes slowly focusing on him, 

“Green, Daniel. My color is green” He replied in an almost bored, mildly annoyed tone. Yup, his Armand was back alright, “consensual non-consent is something we agreed upon before, remember? My color is still very green”

“Right. Sorry, just checking”

Armand rose to his elbows.

“I appreciate your attentiveness,” he reassured his husband, “now shut up, and fuck me”

“Aye, aye, boss” 

Just like that, Daniel slid back into character. Flattening his palm between Armand’s shoulders, he shoved him onto the desk again, letting his hand trail down all the way to his ass, where he grabbed handfuls of both cheeks on each of his hands, parting them to get a look at Armand’s tight little hole. 

And he was pretty sure he almost had a heart attack. 

There, resting between Armand's muscular buttocks, designed to be completely unnoticed under the clothes, rested an elongated stripe of silver metal, with a clear shiny stone right where Armand’s entrance would be. If Daniel had to take a guess, he'd bet the stone was real. Leave it to Armand to come to him wearing a diamond-encrusted buttplug. 

“Jesus fucking Christ” Daniel muttered, feeling light-headed, to horny too even stand straight, “You’re going to be the death of me”

“Don’t say that, beloved” Armand protested, breaking character, “I would never do anything to hurt you”

“Hmmm… is that so?” Hooking his pointer and middle fingers on the little handle of Armand’s toy, Daniel pretended to consider his words, “And what would you do for me? What would you do for your dear professor?”

A long, pitiful sob left Armand’s lips as Daniel started to slide the toy in and out, slowly, fucking him with it. But he arched like a cat, offering his hole up, encouraging the professor to keep going. 

“Anything” He finally moaned, “anything”

“Will you let me fuck this pretty little ass raw?”

Armand seemed to hesitate before replying, a little shakily,

“Yes, Professor Molloy”

“Very well then” Daniel played with the plug just a few more seconds before taking it all the way off and tossing it away somewhere into the shadows of the office. Then, he made a show of taking off his belt and unzipping his pants as unhurried and loudly as possible, savoring the anticipation, the growing tension in the boy's locked muscles. 

"Lube?"

"Jeans' pocket"

Daniel slicked himself up and then squirted a generous amount of the viscous liquid straight onto Armand’s crack, watching the boy flinch a little at the coolness of it. Holding onto the boy’s hipbone, he lined his cock with his fluttering hole and pushed inside.

It was tight. Real fucking tight. Deliberately so, Daniel was sure of it. Armand was very well acquainted with his exact girth, there was no way he had chosen the wrong-sized plug by accident. Taking a steading breath, gritting his teeth, he undulated his hip, burying himself just a little deeper, but Armand’s body jerked forwards, instinctively scrambling away from the burning of the intrusion.

“Oh, no you won’t” Daniel breathed out, draping himself over the younger man’s back, letting the weight of his body trap Armand against the smooth, cold wood of the desk, “Isn’t this what you wanted, baby? You did this on purpose. You want it to hurt, you want to feel my big fat prick tear you apart…” The sweet, chaste kiss he planted on Armand’s shoulder somehow felt more perverse than anything they had been doing, “Don’t worry, baby. Daddy knows just how to give it to you”

Holding onto the boy’s shoulder for leverage, Daniel pushed in again, slow but inescapable, reclaiming the meager inches Armand had managed to gain back, muffling the boy’s cries with his lube-wet hand. Giving himself completely over to his dirty old man character, Daniel soothed mockingly into Armand’s ear,

"Relax, baby. It'll get better the more I fuck you"

He continued the corkscrew movements of his hips, even as Armand trashed beneath him, trying in vain to find the edge of the desk with his hands, wether to hold onto for leverage to dislodge Daniel off his back or simply to ground himself, Daniel didn’t know nor took the chance to find out. Soon as he was finally flush to the boy’s perky little ass, he withdrew, only to slam back in. There was nothing Armand could really do to fight him anyway, pinned as he was between his lover and the expensive mahogany he was staining with his sweat and his spit, falling from his parted lips as he was speared over and over by Daniel’s cock.

"Fuck… feels so good… could fuck this tight little ass for hours…" He was laying it in in earnest now, rocking the boy back and forth with the violence of his thrusts, knocking whatever stationery was left on his workspace over. Armand’s sobs had changed their pitch, his lover no longer able to hide the pleasure he was feeling at Daniel’s assault. 

"Yes, just like that, scream my name… you sound as pretty as any whore…" 

The moan that escaped Armand’s mouth at the name-calling was obscene. Daniel loved it.

"You like that, don't you?.. You like being my little whore, want daddy to use you till you're sore…" He reached under Armand then, hand wrapping around his still semi-soft cock, making him jump. Daniel chuckled darkly, "To sensitive, baby? Is it too much?" 

Armand buckled his hips but there was no escape for him, if he moved forward he jerked himself on Daniel’s hand, if he moved back, he only impaled himself further on his cock. Daniel never relented, never slowed his rhythm even as the boy started to shake, but he did offered a way out,

"You know what to say if you want it to stop…" He panted against Armand’s curls, "just say the word and it's over… What is-fuck… What is your color?"

"Green!" Armand yelled, grinding back to meet Daniel thrust for thrust, "greengreengreen… so green! Harder… Master, fuck me harder, please!" 

Daniel cursed. Armand had never used that word before. It was obvious something had unlocked inside his husband, he was quivering and mewling under him, hand searching back for something. Daniel grabbed it, interlocking their fingers as he started milking Armand’s cock, fucking him as hard and fast as he was able to. Armand went limp under him, melting into the desk, moaning with abandon, clenching around Daniel’s cock in time with the movements of his hand on his own dick. 

"You want it harder baby?.. " Daniel was barely coherent himself, too caught up in the feeling of Armand’s velvety heat around every inch of his cock, the perfect friction sending shock after shock of white hot pleasure through his old, frayed nerves. It was pure animal instinct, the way he shoved one of Armand’s knees up on the desk, changing the angle so he could shove himself deeper, tearing a new wave of cries out of his boy. His hand went still, simply cupping Armand’s dick, protecting it from getting smashed against the wood, but it didn’t matter, the back and forth movement of his thrusts providing enough stimulation as the bulbous head of his cock hit Armand’s prostate over and over again. 

"That's it… come for me… come with me taking you like this… Fuck, Armand!.. So perfect, taking my cock so deep… Wanna fill you up… wanna come so deep I'll be spilling out of you for days…" 

The dirty talk seemed to finally drive Armand over the edge, his muscles locking up, whole body tensing up, squeezing Daniel’s cock so tight it physically hurt. It was too much for the old man, who couldn't help but burst at the pressure, coming so hard, his vision went black for a few seconds. He collapsed on his lover’s back, gasping for air as Armand seemed to do the same. 

"That was…"

"Yeah"

"I'm…" Daniel trailed off, making Armand chuckle. The older man closed his eyes, thinking he could die happy like that, with Armand’s laugh vibrating through his chest. 

"I know, beloved. I know."

On shaking arms, Daniel lifted himself away from his husband’s body, but didn't make it very far, collapsing on the chair closest to him. Armand let out a little displeased noise at the loss of his lover’s warmth and weight. He rose immediately, on what Daniel was proud to notice, also very unsteady legs, just so he could go climb on his lap. 

Daniel’s arms wrapped around him instantly, a reflex at that point, nothing felt as natural to him as having Armand in his arms anymore. 

Burying his nose on the dark curls, he inquired,

"Are you ok, babe?"

The brunet on his lap laughed softly. 

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? Need I remind you that this was my idea?"

"And how long exactly did you have this idea?" Daniel hummed thoughtfully, "Is this what you thought about in class? Me railing you on that desk?"

"In front of the entire class," Armand confirmed, unashamed, "but you didn't even look at me twice"

"That's bullshit and you know it," Daniel protested. Armand had made sure he noticed him, antagonizing him at every turn, challenging his every teaching, "But you're right, I would never had allow myself to think about one of my students like that" 

Even after Armand stopped being one of his students, Daniel didn’t dare to think of him like that, to even dream he could have this with him. He had been attracted, of course, he had eyes and Armand was fucking gorgeous. But even after an entire summer of coffee sharing and debating about everything from the possibility of life after death to war, from the physiology of morality, to alien life and the fucking Fibonacci sequence, it had taken Armand crowding him against a wall in a deserted museum after hours, blindsiding him with a kiss that stole all of his breath away, for him to understand that the beautiful young man was trying to date him. 

Of course, Daniel had been completely his after that. 

"You made me wait so long, my beloved…" Armand complained, whiny and sulky. Daniel didn’t even try to resist the impulse to bite that pout off his lips.

"Hmmm but I made it worth your while after that, didn’t I?" He countered after they broke apart, nuzzling at the bronze skin of his husband’s neck. Armand retaliated by trading his long fingers through Daniel’s soft silver curls, nails scratching pleasantly at the sensitive skin of his scalp.

"That you did, lover mine. That you did…" After a couple of minutes went by without Daniel replying, he looked down. "Daniel, are you falling asleep?" 

"No, of course not" The older man lied, opening his eyes for good measure. Armand did not buy it.

"You know, we have a perfectly good bed, one with a bespoke mattress that won't leave your back feeling sore in the morning…" 

"Don't wanna move just yet" Daniel half explained, half decided, tightening his grip around Armand to stop him from moving either, "comfy now"

His husband sighed in fond exasperation, 

"Fine. But only five more minutes."

"Aye, aye, boss" 

The last thing Daniel saw before closing his eyes, was Armand’s besotted smile. yb

Gerontocracy: the exceptionally old political class that governs the US (Guardian) It is the year of the octogenarian. American TV viewers can find Patrick Stewart, 82, boldly going in a new series of Star Trek: Picard and 80-year-old Harrison Ford starring in two shows plus a trailer for the fifth installment of Indiana Jones. And a switch to the news is likely to serve up Joe Biden, at 80 the oldest president in US history, or Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, who turns 81 on Monday. But while action heroes are evergreen, the political class is facing demands for generational change. “America is not past our prime—it’s just that our politicians are past theirs,” Nikki Haley, 51, told a crowd of several hundred people in Charleston, South Carolina. It was a shot across the bow of not only Biden but former US president Donald Trump, who leads most opinion polls for the Republican nomination but is 76 years old. The octogenarian McConnell is the longest-serving leader in the history of the Senate and has offered no hint of retirement. Chuck Schumer, Democratic majority leader in the same chamber, is 72. Senator Bernie Sanders, standard bearer of the left in the past two Democratic primaries, is 81. Of all the Congresses since 1789, the current one has the second oldest Senate (average age 63.9) and third oldest House of Representatives (average age 57.5). Critics say the backup of talent puts it out of step with the American public, whose average age is 38.

Biden makes surprise trip to Ukraine ahead of Russian invasion anniversary (WP) President Biden made a dramatic, unannounced visit to Kyiv on Monday, in a display of strong American support for Ukraine just four days before the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion. The high-risk visit, to a Ukrainian capital that has been under threat of missile attacks, signals continued commitment from the United States, the largest financial and military backer of Ukraine’s effort to repel Russian invaders from its territory. The Biden administration has provided some $30 billion in security aid since President Vladimir Putin sent Russian forces into Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, initiating the largest ground war in Europe since World War II.

Massive winter storm to bring heavy snow, rain to several states (ABC News) Don’t be fooled by the mild winter weather in some places—a massive storm is on its way to wreak havoc in several states as it treks across the country. The next storm gearing up to affect the U.S. will start in the Northwest on Tuesday morning, bringing heavy snow to the mountains of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, forecasts show. The storm system will then strengthen as it moves southeast into America’s Heartland. By Wednesday, there will be a wide swath of snow from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes region, delivering possible blizzards to the northern Plains and upper Midwest. Many regions are projected to receive up to 2 feet of snow through Friday morning.

Aid groups help Turkey-Syria quake survivors amid global crises and donor fatigue (NPR) International aid has poured into Turkey and parts of Syria following last week’s earthquakes, which have killed more than 46,000 people. The quakes destroyed thousands of buildings, tearing apart families and communities across 19,300 square miles of land. Aid agencies are working to help millions of people with food, tents, warm winter clothing, blankets, mattresses, medical supplies and mental health support. There’s concern, though, that needs arising from other crises, like the war in Ukraine and Syria’s own protracted civil war, could affect that assistance over time. Donor fatigue for the conflict in Syria had set in well before this month’s earthquakes. Carla Haddad Mardini, director of UNICEF’s private fundraising and partnerships, tells NPR Syria had lost the attention of the world, as have many other underfunded crises. Aid groups are trying to marshal the current outpouring of support into greater pledges of aid for Syrians while attention is still on the earthquakes. The U.N. is appealing for nearly $1.4 billion to help survivors in Turkey and Syria—$1 billion to help more than 5 million people in Turkey and $397 million for northwestern Syria, a territory devastated by civil war and divided between opposition and government control.

New quake hits battered Turkey, Syria; 3 dead, hundreds hurt (AP) A new 6.4 magnitude earthquake on Monday killed three people and injured more than 200 in parts of Turkey laid waste two weeks ago by a massive quake that killed tens of thousands, authorities said. More buildings collapsed, trapping some people, while scores of injuries were recorded in neighboring Syria too. Monday’s earthquake was centered in the town of Defne, in Turkey’s Hatay province, one the worst-hit regions in the magnitude 7.8 quake that struck on Feb. 6. It was felt in Syria, Jordan, Cyprus, Israel and as far away as Egypt, and followed by a second, magnitude 5.8 temblor. Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said three people were killed and 213 injured.

Ammunition shortage (Guardian) According to Josep Borrell, the E.U.’s foreign affairs chief, the war in Ukraine will be “over” unless Europe boosts its production of ammunition. “We are in urgent war mode,” he said. “This shortage of ammunition has to be solved quickly; it is a matter of weeks.” Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas claims that, while Russia is working around the clock to pump out bullets and shells, European countries have been incorrect in their assessments of the ammunition required to sustain Ukraine’s forces. “We forgot about classical wars,” said Borrell. “We were only engaged with expeditionary forces and technological Blitzkrieg.” Estonia has put forward a plan to use an existing European peace facility to manufacture ammunition using joint E.U. funds, but Borrell claims that this plan won’t cover short-term demand for ammo. Instead, he’s called upon individual European states to send their ammo reserves to the front in Ukraine.

Russia’s year of war (AP) Moscow’s nights display few signs of a nation at war. Cheerful crowds packed restaurants and bars in the Sretenka neighborhood on a recent Saturday night, watched by officers marked as “tourist police.” Nearby, a top-hatted guide led about 40 sightseers to a 300-year-old church. There’s only an occasional “Z”—the symbol of Russia’s “special military operation,” as the Ukraine invasion is officially known—seen on a building or a shuttered store abandoned by a Western retailer. Western stores are gone, but customers can still buy their products—or knockoffs sold under a Russian name or branding. The painful, bruising changes to Russian life require more effort to see. A broad government crackdown has silenced dissent, with political opponents imprisoned or fleeing abroad. Families have been torn apart by the first mobilization of reservists since World War II. And Russia’s battlefield deaths are in the thousands. But laws effectively criminalize public expression against the war. The crackdown has been immediate, ruthless and unparalleled in post-Soviet Russia. Media cannot call it a “war,” and protesters using that word on placards are hit with steep fines. Meanwhile, TV has expanded programs to boost the narrative that Russia was ridding Ukraine of Nazis, a false claim Putin used as pretext for the invasion. Or that NATO is acting via puppets in Kyiv but that Moscow will prevail. Nationalism is rising.

U.S. Warnings to China on Arms Aid for Russia’s War Portend Global Rift (NYT) When the top foreign policy officials from the United States and China appeared this weekend at Europe’s premier global security conference, both stressed that their governments were not seeking a new Cold War. Yet, new warnings by U.S. officials that China may be preparing to give weapons and ammunition to Russia ‌for its war on Ukraine portend the worst of the old Cold War. In that decades-long shadow struggle, the United States, the Soviet Union and occasionally China poured military resources into protracted wars around the globe, engaging in bloody proxy conflicts from Korea to Vietnam to Afghanistan. American officials say that China, unlike Iran and North Korea, has over the year of the war in Ukraine refrained from giving material aid to Russia. President Biden has stressed to Xi Jinping, China’s leader, that any such move would have far-reaching consequences. There is no doubt that China’s entry into the war in that manner would transform the nature of the conflict, turning it into an epochal struggle involving all three of the world’s largest superpowers and their partners on opposing sides: Russia, China, Iran and North Korea aligned against the United States, Ukraine and their European and Asian allies and partners, including Japan and South Korea.

$5.83 (Worldcrunch) Beijing announced it would give out a monthly cash subsidy of 40 yuan (a little under $6) to low-income residents as food inflation accelerates in China. The modest allowance was not well received by the public, with one user reacting on Weibo: “40 yuan? Are you serious? [When] the low-income people take the subway to collect the money and then they return, they lose 8 yuan.”

North Korean missiles (AP) Over the weekend, North Korea tested its intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) systems, launching a long-range missile into the Sea of Japan, located between North Korea and Japan. The missile was reportedly fired with a high, arcing trajectory to avoid hitting nearby countries, but according to multiple sources, showed the capacity of a future North Korean ICBM to hit the U.S. mainland if fired at a normal angle. In response to the ICBM test, the U.S. and South Korea conducted joint military drills on Sunday. The drills included multiple F-16 fighter jets escorting a B-1B bomber, demonstrating “the alliance’s overwhelming forces through the timely and immediate deployment of the U.S. extended deterrence assets to the Korean Peninsula,” according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff. The U.S. and Japan also conducted military drills in response to what Japan’s Prime Minister called “an outrageous act,” flying even more fighter jets over the Sea of Japan where the ICBM landed.

Israel’s Netanyahu advances judicial changes despite uproar (AP) Israel’s government on Monday was pressing ahead with a contentious plan to overhaul the country’s legal system, despite an unprecedented uproar that has included mass protests, warnings from military and business leaders and calls for restraint by the United States. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies, a collection of ultra-religious and ultranationalist lawmakers, say the plan is meant to fix a system that has given the courts and government legal advisers too much say in how legislation is crafted and decisions are made. Critics say it will upend the country’s system of checks and balances and concentrate power in the hands of the prime minister. They also say that Netanyahu, who is on trial for a series of corruption charges, has a conflict of interest. The standoff has plunged Israel into one of its greatest domestic crises, sharpening a divide between Israelis over the character of their state and the values they believe should guide it.

Mauritius halts flights, shuts stock exchange as cyclone Freddy approaches (Reuters) Mauritius on Monday grounded flights and shut its stock exchange as Tropical Cyclone Freddy approached, posing a “direct threat” to the Indian Ocean island. A Class III cyclone warning was in force in Mauritius, allowing about six hours of daylight before the occurrence of wind gusts of 120 kilometres per hour. Mauritius, along with other Indian Ocean countries like Madagascar and African coastal nations like Mozambique, is regularly affected by severe storms and cyclones capable of destroying homes, infrastructure and crops.

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Russia’s claims that it is prepared to resume negotiations with Ukraine do not correspond to reality because Russia is deploying reserve troops in southern Ukraine.

"They [Russia - ed.] are activating various emissaries with claims that the terrorist state supposedly wants negotiations…If Russia really wanted an end to the war, it would not be accumulating reserves in the south of Ukraine right now or creating mass graves for murdered innocent people on Ukrainian territory. In general, it is just disgusting to see former leaders of powerful states with European values working for Russia, which is fighting against these values. We need to fight, we need to beat the terrorists on our land, we need to spread information about Ukrainian interests and achieve success and victories for Ukraine."

Ukraine asked UNESCO and other Western partners to stop any cooperation with Russian museums. That’s because of stealing museum collections from occupied parts of Ukraine. Also, “because they are using this narrative of the so-called great Russian culture as a weapon..,” Ukraine’s Minister of Culture Oleksandr Tkachenko said on TV air.

“They [the Russians] start or plan to evacuate Ukrainian museum items, we record it as another step of the occupation authorities regarding objects that are part of the Ukrainian cultural heritage, the world cultural heritage. This is a fact of a war crime. We know that during the occupation of Crimea, illegal actions were committed against UNESCO objects in Bakhchysarai and Khersones, and all this, accordingly, should be reflected in reparations from the Russians. But it is also important for us to involve international organizations to prevent further illegal traffic of valuable museum collections,” the Minister of Culture said.

WORLD NEWS

Israel: exchanges fire with Gaza militants after deadly strikes (AP)

“Israeli airstrikes flattened homes in Gaza on Saturday and rocket barrages into southern Israel persisted, raising fears of an escalation in a conflict that has killed at least 15 people in the coastal strip. The fighting began with Israel’s killing of a senior commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group in a wave of strikes Friday that Israel said were meant to prevent an imminent attack. A 5-year-old girl and two women are among those killed in the strikes.”

Russia: Forces begin assault on two eastern Ukraine cities (AP)

“Russian forces began an assault Saturday on two key cities in the eastern Donetsk region and kept up rocket and shelling attacks on other Ukrainian cities, including one close to Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, Ukraine’s military and local officials said.”

Croatia: 12 Polish pilgrims killed, 32 injured in bus crash (BBC)

“Twelve people have been killed after a bus carrying Polish pilgrims veered off a road in Croatia on Saturday and ended up in a ditch. All 32 surviving passengers are said to be injured, 19 of them seriously. The trip, organised by the Brotherhood of St Joseph Catholic group, included three priests and six nuns. They were travelling to Medjugorje, a Catholic shrine in Bosnia.”

US NEWS

Abortion: Indiana becomes 1st state to approve abortion ban post Roe (AP)

“Indiana on Friday became the first state in the nation to approve abortion restrictions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, as the Republican governor quickly signed a near-total ban on the procedure shortly after lawmakers approved it. The ban, which takes effect Sept. 15, includes some exceptions. Abortions would be permitted in cases of rape and incest, before 10-weeks post-fertilization; to protect the life and physical health of the mother; and if a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly.”

Sandy Hook School Shooting: Alex Jones ordered to pay $45.2M more (AP)

“A Texas jury on Friday ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages to the parents of a child who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, adding to the $4.1 million he must pay for the suffering he put them through by claiming for years that the nation’s deadliest school shooting was a hoax. The total — $49.3 million — is less than the $150 million sought by Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis was among the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 attack in Newtown, Connecticut.”

Floods: Record floods strand 1K people in Death Valley National Park (AP)

“Record rainfall Friday triggered flash floods at Death Valley National Park that swept away cars, closed all roads and stranded hundreds of visitors and workers. There were no immediate reports of injuries but roughly 60 vehicles were buried in mud and debris and about 500 visitors and 500 park workers were stuck inside the park, officials said.”

Hi, Karolina! I've got ton of questions again. (Somebody, stop me!) 1) What are top 5 Polish singers/music bands you can recommend? I only know Czesław Niemen and Annna German (admire both of them) but that's such a limited list! Definitely need to explore more Polish music. 2) Top 5 favourite movies? 3) Top 5 books you've read this year? 4) Top 5 suggestions for learning basics of the Polish language? 5) Top 5 reasons to study French, in your own opinion?

I loove questions!

Top 5 Polish singers/bands(I can’t add more because there are not many Polish singers or bands I can say I listen to :c There are just random songs here and there.)

1. Enej - mix of folk and rock music. Favourite: Może będzie lepiej, Dzisiaj będę ja, Symetryczno-Liryczna 2. Dawid Podsiadło - I can’t say I’m a total fan but I like a few of his songs and unlike many other artists, lyrics actually mean something. Favourite: W dobrą stronę, Pastempomat, Powiedz mi że nie chcesz

Top 5 movies(Maybe not necessarily top 5 because there are others and I watch way more tv shows)

1. Legally Blonde (can’t say why but it just relaxes me)2. Nie lubię poniedziałku (I don’t like Monday; Poland 70s, some understanding of Polish reality of that time and sense of humour recommended)3. Black Swan4. any 1-3 Indiana Jones 5. K-19

Top 5 books this year

1. The Picture of Dorian Gray2. Wuthering Heights3. In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin4. Vanity Fair5. Dans la tête de Vladimir Poutine

Top 5 suggestions for learning basics of the Polish language (I’m a native so I’m probably not the best person to answer this, other non-native learners may be more helpful in the topic but let’s try)

1. When learning vocabulary, try to divide words into categories like “the same like in Ukrainian/Russian”, “similar”, “different” (yes, now I’m speaking of kind of my own experience of learning ua and ru; pay less attention to the words which are the same, more to false friends). It may make things less confusing and more structured. The same goes for grammar e.g. conjugation/declension endings (they were very similar in Russian, a bit different in Ukrainian, comparing to Polish)

2. However, don’t learn endings by heart. I noticed that many people learning Polish do it and in my opinion it doesn’t make sense. It’s better to learn the general rules and try to “feel” the right answer while using them in context (e.g. by making sentences). You’ll get it eventually with time.

3. Write. Even if you think you’ve got limited vocabulary, write anything, using all the grammar and words you know at the moment (use a dictionary if you need it).

4. Immerse yourself, mostly try to read and listen as much as possible.

5. Don’t hesitate to ask any natives here, Polish people are generally happy when someone learns their language!

Top 5 reasons to study French

1. It may be not the most important thing in the world because if one likes the language, will learn it anyway but it’s just useful, especially when it comes to diplomacy. 

2. You can surprise those French freaks you understand what they say behind your back (and just make them happy when you can help them in their own language - extra points: in foreign country) ~ Montenegro trip 2019.

3. That satisfaction you’re able to read French books in original and watch videos on yt and movies/shows.

4. It just sounds nice (but I wouldn’t call it the most beautiful in the world, sorry Frenchies, there are also different languages).

5. I can compare “French French” to e.g. Quebec French and I find it interesting.

US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $49.3m (£41m) in damages after falsely claiming a 2012 school shooting was a hoax. A jury in Texas ruled the radio host must pay $45.2m in punitive damages, in addition to $4.1m in compensatory damages they awarded a day earlier. The two-week defamation trial was brought by the parents of a child killed in the attack. The punitive damages are meant to act as a deterrent, and to stop Jones from repeating his offence. "Stop the monetisation of misinformation and lies. Please." U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned on the 77th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on Saturday that a new arms race is accelerating and it is "totally unacceptable" for countries with nuclear weapons to even "admit the possibility" of using them. Palestinian militants in Gaza fired dozens of rockets into Israel on Friday in response to Israeli airstrikes which killed at least 10 people, including a senior commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement. Russia and Ukraine accused each other on Friday of shelling Europe's biggest nuclear power plant as fighting raged again in the crucial border region of the Donbas and three more ships left ports carrying previously blockaded Ukrainian grain. US state of Indiana’s Republican-controlled state legislature has approved a bill to outlaw nearly all abortions, making Indiana the first state to pass new legislation to severely restrict abortion access after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. Peruvian President Pedro Castillo reshuffled his cabinet on Friday, naming a new finance minister but stopping short of a full revamp by keeping Prime Minister Anibal Torres in his role.
