Anastasia (Umeda Arts, 2023)

I’m flattered that the overwhelming response to my poll was to bring back reviews :D Since I posted that, Takarazuka has unfortunately been involved in a terrible tragedy (additional information here). I may review the Takarazuka performances I was able to see at a later date, but at the moment I’m going to take some space from doing so.

In the meantime, a very bright spot in a long-awaited trip otherwise filled with multiple bouts of shocking news was the Broadway musical Anastasia, featuring Asami Hikaru (my ご贔屓, kamioshi, bias to end all biases, for those who joined during COVID and somehow missed this) amidst a rather star-studded cast. Getting to see Anastasia was quite special, not only because it’s been 4 1/2 years since I was last able to travel to Japan and see Komu, but also because I HAD tickets to the original Spring 2020 run before, well, you know (not to mention the ruined plans to see fave #2 as the same role in the tkz version). On top of that, it was good.

The Broadway version of Anastasia follows two con men in post-revolution Russia, Dmitri and Vlad, who, amidst rumors that Anastasia Romanov has somehow survived the execution of the rest of the royal family, accidentally find the real one while auditioning actresses to pretend to be her for reward money.

Given that my bias to end all biases taidan’d 17 years ago, I’ve seen my fair share of Japanese theater outside of Takarazuka in my quest to spend as much time in her presence as humanly possible. Usually, I find the non-OG cast members (especially men!!) unimpressive to the point of superfluousness. Imagine my shock when I found myself raising my opera glasses when Komu wasn’t even on stage.

Ranking!!

Anya: Aoi Wakana / Kinoshita Haruka

Anya is a poor street sweeper with amnesia who has a feeling SOMEONE is waiting for her in Paris (turns out it’s her grandmother, the dowager empress). I was supposed to see each actress twice, but due to the flu making its rounds through the cast, I ended up seeing Wakana three times and Haruka only once… which is unfortunate, because Haruka is an absolute powerhouse, and Wakana is a TV actress. The cast lineup for my first of four viewings was absolutely flawless, and I wish it had been the finale instead (especially because I was in shock from Sora taidan dropping like 3 hours prior to curtain). Haruka has a Broadway-quality voice, and her acting not only made sense, but also lacked that peculiar anime-like delivery that most of the Japanese actors I’ve seen have in spades (IYKYK). Although perhaps she returned from flu recovery too quickly and didn’t have her whole voice, Wakana’s singing wasn’t really up to the challenge of the role; all of Anya’s big solo’s were rendered anticlimactic by very flat long notes. I also found her acting to be over the top and desperate, whereas Haruka’s was quite nuanced.

Dmitri: Kaiho Naoto / Aiba Hiroki / Utsumi Akiyoshi

Dmitri is the romantic lead, something of a street urchin who starts off by hatching a moneymaking scheme to produce a fake Anastasia, and ultimately gives it all up after falling in love with Anya. I got to see Kaiho and Aiba, and to be honest, the only reason I’m not mad I had to see Aiba once is because that day Kaiho Naoto was Gleb. I know I am very late to this party, but this was the first time I got to see Kaiho Naoto live, and hooooooooooo boy. That man’s voice gave me chills, he acts like a normal person and not a cartoon, and his facial expressions are SO dynamic. His fans in the FIRST ROW had their opera glasses up, and now I take back making fun of them in my head. Incredible casting choice for Dmitri; he did an amazing job going through the full range of emotions and showing character growth, plus he looked so good in that scruffy little outfit. Tbh, marry me (Aiba on the other hand was an anime boy made flesh and blood and I can’t say I cared for it).

Vlad: Osumi Kenya / Ishikawa Zen

Vlad is Dmitri’s old man friend, a former aristocrat and adulterous lover to Lily. This one is slightly less cut and dry because both actors had their merits, but alas, I’m a big Ishikawa Zen fan. Osumi Kenya is a dancer and Zen is not, and that was quite apparent in any scene with choreography. Other than that, I quite preferred Zen’s knockout voice, nuanced acting, and overflowing kindness. He’s irl bffs with Komu, so I found his Vlad’s chemistry with Lily to be more compelling; but he also integrated himself seamlessly into each cast, despite that I imagine it’s tricky to get the best possible rapport going when the roles are changing all the time. Osumi definitely gave his Vlad quite a bit of enjoyable energy and unique flair, but ultimately, I thought his Vlad was a bit over the top (he’d be a huge hit in a kids’ show), and he seemed to be acting next to rather than with the rest of the cast.

Gleb: Kaiho Naoto / Douchin Yoshikuni / Tashiro Mario

Gleb, a Bolshevik general trying to fill the shoes of his father who relished executing the Romanov family, is the villain of the show. I was SUPPOSED to see all three Glebs, and I’m quite sad I didn’t, but the flu took Tashiro Mario. I ended up seeing Douchin three times and Kaiho once. This is REALLY HARD, and it’s likely impossible to separate out my feelings toward Kaiho’s Gleb in isolation, because Dmitri, without Kaiho in the role, was not compelling, so the overall impact of the show was less on the not-Douchin day. Kaiho showed up again with the voice that gives you chills, and while his performance throughout most of the show was a bit more low-key, his final scene, in which he attempts to get Anya to admit she’s playing around and return to Russia lest he be forced to shoot her on the spot if she is in fact the real Anastasia, was ABSOLUTELY FUCKING UNHINGED (spit flying everywhere, no wonder everyone got sick). Douchin, however, also has quite a powerful voice, and I think overall he did a better job of coming off as creepy and weird. He was awkward in kind of an is-this-guy-ok way, his barely concealed feelings for Anya were both clearer and more unsettling, and he felt believably indoctrinated into an ideology vs. just this is the villain because we said he’s the villain. His slick, jet-black hair and choice to wear light blue colored contacts also really enhanced the evil image. I really regret not getting to see Tashiro Mario, but I think my ever so slight preference here is Douchin just because his presence balanced the rest of the cast.

Lily: Asami Hikaru / Marcia / Horiuchi Keiko

Lily is the dowager empress's lady-in-waiting, a former countess who, in her younger days, cheated on her boring husband with Vlad and is currently tending to the dowager empress in refugee-laden Paris. LBR, I didn’t fly across the world to see the other two (although 3 or so days into my trip there was a SCARE where Komu was announced out with an injury, and I thought I might have to… but she recovered in time for my first show!). Ohhhh it was so nice, I missed her more than my COVID-era complacence led me to believe. Lily was a very fun and pleasant Komu role for me. Homegirl is 51 now (don’t talk to me) and fresh taidansha like Tamaki Ryou are getting the heroines she played a decade and a half ago, but Lily isn’t exactly someone’s mom either. She’s funny, and sassy, and wears sick costumes, and has DANCE NUMBERS! Which she did without looking injured at all! With the exception of like 20 seconds in the prologue, Lily does not appear at all until Act 2, but Act 2 is very juicy. I think I liked the look-Vlad’s-back tango even better than her piano-top nightclub solo, but both were utterly delightful. She also has great chemistry with her Yukigumi top senpai Asami Rei, comfortable yet reverent (just like in real life!). I juuuUUUUuuUUUUuuuSsstttt wish they would lower the key for her… just a little… as a treat.........

Dowager Empress Maria: Asami Rei (more like Asami SLAY)

Y’all… seeing Asami Rei live has BEEN on my bucket list, and the experience did not disappoint. Her voice may be going, but it’s completely age appropriate, and she could have done literally anything up on that stage without it ruining the impact of her presence. I legit inadvertently gasped "mother" into my mask when she made her appearance in a black and silver bejeweled gown to attend the ballet… serving boatloads of charisma uniqueness nerve and talent at 73, to say the least.

The ensemble was also a force and the songs were expertly directed, giving the whole show a stunning sound that has been rare in my experience with Japanese musicals (part vocal talent, part book made for Broadway). The play-within-a-play scene at the ballet was genuinely impressive (it's been a while since I've seen a man jump that high). All in all, a treat to watch!

[polina-me]

Imagine if there was an Anastasia Au for the caballaeros.

Roles first:

Anastasia — Donald Duck (of course 😏)

Dmitry — Jose Carioca and Panchito

Vladimir — Humphrey the Bear

Rasputin — Lord Felldreke

Bartok — Don't know... Sheldgoose or Leopold? Maybe both

Maria (Empress) — Scrooge McDuck

Nicholas ll — Hortense McDuck

Pooka — Ari

Sofie — Daisy

And now just a facts:

In the cartoon itself, the action takes place from Moscow to Paris. Here from Glasgow to London

Humphrey is a cute daddy bear (and a silent psychologist). They don't take him with them, HE follows them

Della is

Donald finds Ari in winter (as in the original). Ari was unconscious from a cold and Donald warmed him up under his coat and hugs. When Ari wake up, he thought he saw an angel

As you already know, Panchito and Jose play the role of Dmitry, but what exactly does it look like? I'll explain right now

I decided to divide Dmitry into two parts and so it turned out in general. But! That's not all!

Jose uses Donald for money (no wonder). His sick sister and her two sons and his cousin remained in Brazil. He travels the world trying to make money and most of his savings goes to them

Panchito also uses Donald (wonder). His family lives on the version they are trying to buy out

He's trying to make money so they can't buy the farm

------------------------

The story will be about how Donald learns to accept his voice and his craving for adventure

How will Jose understand that the world rests not only on lies, but also on trust and love

And how does Panchito find out that his family doesn't really care about money and they let him go into the world, for the sake of his freedom, not money

And Scrooge and Della will believe in a miracle again

I do not know what to write next

[illegally-blind-and-deaf]

It's really funny bring obsessed with history while being in fandoms where canon is set around the same time as your favourite historical time periods

Like with Anastasia, I could be writing romance or cute found family fluff or whatnot but NO. No. My brain instead thinks about what Dmitri's life would have been like and would he have been a part of the Bolsheviks probably look at that angst at realising that what you supported and believed would get you equality and a decent rachmaninoffing life turned out to be a lie the trust issues to come out of that and also Russia economically at the time was a mess he probablybdoesnt know how to read and was probably sold to a factory at some point would he have escaped conscription from the civil war and also what if he was Jewish that makes sense canonically I can make this work

Also AFTER the canon Anastasia story like hello they would have kids during ww2 era imagine the chaos and potential story ideas to come out of that do they stay in France or do they go backbto Russia what if Dmitri was Tsar what if he was tsarbof Russia and they split the USSR in two so dtalinbwouldnt get iffy WHAT IF DMITRI WAS TSAR DURINF WW2 yes with the stalin/Hitler Alliance they had before barbarossa that would be chaos and the family getting split apart I could have the children eacapeling to London and having to deal with the blitz or Anya getting stuck on Germany or whatnot and if we bring back the idea that Dmitri is jewish-

You see, I have too much fun with this. Not only done hetero splurge on multiple interests, I get to educate people about the brutality of history through their comfort characters.

Same goes for Tintin lie what if he grew up during ww2 and Nazi occupation he would have DEFINITELY been in the resistance and could have written articles in their newspapers speaking of which whatbif he was involved in le faux soir and also what about the 20th convoy does he get caught does he hide in France and join the resistance there does he join the maquis and what about his family how do they factor in do they support the Nazis or do they die like what if his mother was blind what if his dad was Flemish WHAT IF HIS DAD WAS GERMAN AND MOVED TO BEKGIUM IN THE 20S DUE TO THE GERMAN ECENOMIC CRISIS what if they were in Berlin for kristallnacht what if-

DO YOU SEE MY PROBLEM

even fanfiction becomes historical fiction.

send help please.

[crazychaoticizzy]

new idea similar to my phantom of the opera au but it’s a different musical

attack on titan anastasia au

imagine:

Levi and Erwin as con artists (Dmitri and Vlad) while you are one of the last living relatives of the Reiss family (the Romanov’s) but you don’t remember who you are

[the-last-tsar]

Who do you think would have had the highest chance of suitor for OTMAA? (Pre-revolution and war) as well as (after revo if they survived).

Olga nikolaevna= Princes Vladimir Paley or Grand duke dmitri pavlovich romanov (there are some who thinks paley might have been).

Tatiana Nikolaevna= Prince Alexander of Yugoslvia or Prince Roman petrovich(idk about roman petrovich but from what I read he was mostly mentioned)

Maria= Prince Carol of Romania or Prince Louis Mountbatten( carol said he liked her at some point)

Anastasia= Princes Frederick of Denmark or Prince Paul of Greece and Denmark(Tbh, I feel like she would chose herself heheh)

Alexei= Princess Ileana of Romania or Princess Elizabeth of Greece and Denmark.

To Olga: From your options I choose Vladimir Paley, but I like to imagine her with prince Christopher of Greece and Denmark. He loved her and even talked to Nicholas about it.

To Tatiana: Alexander I of Yugoslavia, he loved her and some sources say it was mutual.

To Maria: Louis Mountbatten, of course, he adored her! Carol of Romania was a horrible husband to Helen, he would have made Maria suffer as he did to Helen.

To Anastasia: We don't know about her preferences but I vote in Paul of Greece and Denmark.

To Alexei: Princess Ileana.

Above is a picture of beautiful Princess Tatiana Konstantinovna, followed by two photographs of her and her betrothed and later husband, the Georgian Prince Konstantine Bagration of Mukhrani

Below, is Tatiana in 1915, and Tatiana with her beautiful baby boy Teymuraz. On the group picture, she appears with her sister Vera and her adult son and daughter Teymuraz and Natalia.

The last picture depicts Tatiana as Mother Tamara, Abess of the Mount of Olives Convent in Jerusalem.

The Last Princesses of Imperial Russia

Princess Tatiana Konstantinovna: Third child, first daughter of Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich and Grand Duchess Elizabeta Mavrikievna

When I look at pictures of Princess Tatiana Konstantinovna, I can imagine her at court functions with the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia...at balls, each other's weddings, and the baptism of each other's children. They were the next generation of the Imperial Family. But their fates took horrific detours. At least Princess Tatiana Konstantinovna survived.

Tatiana fell in love with and married Prince Konstantine Bagration of Mukhrani. Her father initially did not approve of the match but eventually consented. There are discussions about whether this marriage is morganatic or not, but we will not get into that here. The union went through with the Tzar's consent.

Tatiana and her bridegroom had two children: Teymuraz Bagration (1912 - 1992) and Natasha Bagration (1914-1984). Tatiana's wedded bliss did not last long...her husband died at war in 1914. She had already lost her brother Oleg at the beginning of the war. Her father died of natural causes shortly after the death of his son-in-law. Her uncle Grand Duke Dmitri Konstantinovich, would be executed by the Bolsheviks. Her brothers John, Constantine, and Igor would also be murdered.

After the death of Prince Bagration, Natalia fell in love with the aide de camp to her uncle Grand Duke Dmitri Konstantinovich. Her uncle encouraged her to leave Russia with him. She married Alexander Vassilievich Korochenzov in exile, but he died three months after the wedding. Although Tatiana reunited with her mother and two younger siblings (Vera and George), she basically raised her children alone.

In 1946, after her children were grown and married, she took the veil (this was a dream her father had for her.)  She entered the Mount of Olives Convent in Jerusalem (after serving at another convent.) She died as Abess Mother Tamara (named so after the medieval Georgian queen Tamar, a remote ancestor of Tatiana's first husband) on 28 August 1979.

[queenoftheblackpuddle]

And yet again I'm maladaptive daydreaming about an Anastasia AU for my oc and Jim Henson characters.

Shy is Anastasia

Gonzo is Dmitry

Kermit is Vlad

Miss Piggy is Countess Lily (imagining her and Kermit singing The Countess and the Common Man gives me Feelings™️, and Land of Yesterday is exactly the kind of flashy stage number she'd love to have)

Hilda is the Queen Mother/Anastasia's Nana

And because I think it's funny, Scooter is Gleb

And just. I fucking love this stupid musical don't start with me

[foreverinthepagesofhistory]

Hi

I am curious who is your favorite possible or might have been possible get together(Partners) of each of OTMA+A?

Hi!!!!! Do you mean possible spouse? I think that is what you mean so i am going to answer that!

Olga: honestly i kind of would want her to have a dynastic marriage to secure her future but she wanted to stay in Russia and i think that if she left she would be in a whole different world. She would be away from her family and it would probably hurt her mental health. So if there was a non-Russian option i would choose someone in the British royal family (either David Prince of Wales or Prince Albert). For a Russian match i would probably say one of the Konstantinovich boys

Tatiana: i think that Tatiana would make a great queen. After all she was called “the governess” within her family so that says a lot about her leadership skills. A lot of people ship her with Alexander of Yugoslavia and i don’t really know a lot about him so he is not my first choice for a possible spouse but could be an option. Maybe a match with one of King Constantine of Greece’s children would be good and possibly becoming the Queen of Greece? But i also think that the top priority would be marrying Olga off to a powerful Prince or King so whatever choices Olga had and didn't choose i think they would be a choice for Tatiana.

Maria: i do ship Maria with Dickie (Lord Louis Mountbatten). He loved her a lot and if they were married i think that she would learn to love him. But in the Orthodox Church, the law says that you can’t marry first cousins and Maria and Dickie were first cousins. Nicholas took that rule very seriously and i don’t think he would bend the rule even if it was for his daughter. I think since Maria is also the third daughter, Nicholas would allow her to marry someone in the Russian Nobility as opposed to a prince. He has allowed that for Xenia Alexandrovna, Olga Alexandrovna and Irina Alexandrovna. And i also think Carol of Romania is an option. It was rumored that he loved her more than Olga so he could be an option. And Maria was very kind and i think that is she married into a foreign country then she would learn to adapt and learn to love her new country.

Anastasia: this is hard because i don’t think that marrying was ever Anastasia’s priority. I think that she would want to be an actress or a comedian or something that fits her funny personality. So maybe someone that also has a fun personality would be a good match for Anastasia. I am kind of thinking about Carol of Romania because he has something close to that personality and i think that they would learn to get along, but there is a significant age gap and i think that no one really imagined Anastasia to be queen of a country. Maybe Dmitri Pavlovich. He is funny and is not her first cousin! Even though there is an age gap he might be a good match! And like i said for Maria, she might be able to marry someone of lower class because she is the fourth daughter.

Alexei: i think that since alexei was going to be Tsar than he would’ve needed to marry someone that would fit the mold of Tsarina. I think that Olga or Elizabeth of Greece would be a good match because they were childhood friends and Alexei even said to Elizabeth that he loved her. I think that Ileana of Romania is too young and i think Nicholas and Alix would want Alexei to marry and produce children quickly because of his hemophilia. Maybe Vera Konstantinovna would be a good option. She was only 2 years younger than him and is Russian! I think that someone who is around his age would be a good match for him.

Thank you!!!!

What are your voice headcannons for your characters?

I personally have a headcannon that miss em sounds a lot like milla from Psychonauts

Haha, my voice claims are all over the place with these guys haha xD

I still don't have an official voice claim for Dmitri, but the way I hear his voice is it's kind of mid toned, sharp sounding/has a small rasp to it (cause he smokes like a chimney), and he has a slight Russian accent.

Sunny's speaking voice sounds kind of like Ethan (from Unus Annus/CrankGamePlays on YT). BUT warning if you look him up, he curses alot on his main channel and makes suggestive jokes (polar opposite of Sunny xDD). But yeah he's got a good mix of silly, cartoony, kind of childish, light toned voice (his laugh is very much Sunny):

Chayne's voice claim I'm still trying to decide as well. But his voice is deep sounding, and he has a heavy Texas/southern accent x3 Kind of like this clip (Wolf's voice):

Dottie has the typical cartoon child voice xD Loud, sharp, and a little boyish.

And aaaw, I do love Milla's voice for Em, but I imagine it being a little lighter/airy sounding (kind of like Uhura/Nichelle Nichols from the first Star Trek) But she definitely has that caring, soft tone like Milla. She also has a spanish accent.

Aaand Ulyana, I like to think sounds like that one old lady in Anastasia who ran the orphanage xDD She has a cool witchy kind of voice x3

PHEW! Sorry for the essay and all those clips (hopefully the vids work) xDD I love voice claim stuff!

Summary: A snowstorm sends Dmitry out into the cold and (Y/n) left pacing, wondering if he’ll return

The snow had started to fall in the morning, and by midday, it was a blizzard, painting the world in cold shades of grey. Harsh snow wasn't anything new, this time of year, but weather like this always swept in a feeling of dread - a bitter sort of restlessness that lay at the heart of every Russian, stirring worry in the pits of their stomachs and sending tremors down their spine. (Y/n) had slept the evening prior with the distinct feeling that something in the air was changed, and when they woke to sleeted streets and snowy oblivion, they knew the feeling wasn't going to go away.

Not until the wind stopped howling and the skies stopped damning them from above. 

When Dmitry woke from his slumber, his hair was mussed and his smile was wide. It melted like frost on a summer day when he opened his eyes and saw the rigidity of (Y/n)'s stance. He made no sound of greeting, only stood and grabbed their blankets, walking over to wrap (Y/n) in warmth from behind.

(Y/n) sighed, their tight chest, making them shudder. Dmitry rested his head on their shoulder, something poignant in the way he paused - as though he didn't want to disturb their thoughts but wanted to be in them, nonetheless.

"It'll be a blizzard." And (Y/n)'s statement was as certain as the earth beneath their feet, unshakable, solid, and omnipresent.

Dmitry kissed their cheek, and when he spoke, his words tickled their skin. "I'll be back before the worst of it starts."

"Promise?"

"Always."

He kissed (Y/n) again and then slipped out of their grasp.

It wasn't immediately after his departure that (Y/n) started to worry, but by midday, they were pacing. The cold seeped beneath their skin, the snow obscured their vision, and the wind rattled (Y/n)'s thoughts as though their worries were two spiders in a jar, only waiting for a reason to tear the other apart. What was once a layer of snow became a mountain, the storm having deposited so much weather, walking through it would be like wading through water. By now, the ice was thick and the wind was terrible - all it would take is one small step in the wrong direction, and Dmitry would never come home.

Part of (Y/n) insisted that Dmitry was strong and stubborn, and he was especially bullheaded when it came to them. Not even Death himself could stop Dmitry from coming home - a blizzard like this stood no chance. Not when Dmitry's smile was like the sun itself - able to quell any storm into submission, able to burn the frost off of (Y/n)'s aching heart, able to bring something as beautiful as summer in the dead of winter. 

For Dmitry, the snow would be a minor inconvenience in a world pitted against him from the beginning. One storm was nothing to worry about.

But another part of (Y/n), a more conniving and sinister force within them, said otherwise. This world was cruel to people like them; hope could turn its back on them easier and faster than breathing. Rarely did the world take pity on the likes of them, and even rarer did it give them the smallest of sympathies. Dmitry had been a boon against the ceaseless tide of misfortune; perhaps (Y/n)'s blessings had run out. It wouldn't be the first time (Y/n) lost someone, and it wouldn't be the last.

But could they survive losing Dmitry? Or would he steal everything they were, with his swift departure?

Already, (Y/n) could feel themself slipping away, just like Dmitry had, that morning.

Thud.

Something hit the door with a force that could knock the old wood off of its hinges, had Dmitry not fortified it with everything he had. (Y/n) jumped at the abrupt sound, and their heart ran a marathon in their chest.

Thud.

(Y/n) unbolted the door and the wind knocked them back, whistling and moaning, ushering in frozen snow and icy sleet. Dmitry, wrapped in the thinnest of coats, stumbled in, and together they pushed the door shut.

The door clicked in place, but the wind still battered against its frame. For a moment, all (Y/n) could hear was heavy breathing and the wails of a ghostly, vengeful wind.

Dmitry, his cheeks so cold they almost looked purple, breathed against his curled fingers. When he caught (Y/n)'s stare, still panicked despite his presence, he offered a lame smile. "Back before the worst of it?" he whispered, his voice hoarse and shaking.

(Y/n) breathed out, a mix between relief and exasperation, "You...Dima..." He turned to them, laughter in his eyes, and (Y/n) could feel the tension in this chest start to dissipate. He was safe, and somehow in his usual spirits. How was it that he managed to nearly die and laugh all the while? (Y/n) shook their head, trying to stuff down the happiness that was growing in their chest. "I'm going to kill you."

"Oh?"

(Y/n) lunged to the side, moving to grab him by his collar, but Dmitry shot forward and quickly turned around, putting his freezing hands on the back of (Y/n)'s neck. They cringed and cried out a string of shrill expletives and Dmitry pulled (Y/n) to his frigid chest, his clothes stiff from frost but thawing already.

Dmitry kissed their cheek - just like he had earlier that morning, and his lips were cold and chapped.

"You promised you'd be home sooner."

"I recall saying 'before the worst of it' and seeing as there's no way to tell exactly what the worst of it is—"

"Dima!"

He chuckled, and (Y/n) could feel the rumble in his chest, the feeling somehow warm, despite it all. (Y/n) closed their eyes and allowed for their fear to melt off of their heart, for their thoughts to calm to contentment. Standing there, (Y/n) waited until all they could feel was the beat of Dmitry's heart.

"We need to get you out of these clothes."

"That's rather forward of you."

(Y/n) smacked the arm that was wrapped around them and he laughed again, the sound loud enough to cover the wind.

They rolled their eyes. "So you don't get sick, Dmitry."

"That's not nearly as fun."

But Dmitry untangled himself from their embrace and got to work stripping off layers of wet clothing - jackets, scarves, and socks - and (Y/n) found him another set of clothes to wear. It was still cold, and with little else to do, (Y/n) and Dmitry settled into bed prematurely, talking in hushed voices. It was dark and peaceful, and while (Y/n) couldn't see Dmitry's face, they could tell by the sound of his voice that he was tired.

After hearing about Vlad's latest adventure, sneaking valuables from the abandoned palace, (Y/n) closed their eyes with a smile. Silence wrapped the two souls comfortably, shielding them from the weather that raged above and the uncertainty that swirled around. For a moment, (Y/n) thought that Dmitry had fallen asleep, but then he spoke, his voice almost dreamy - thick and far away, soft but sure.

"I'm the happiest I've ever been."

(Y/n) hummed, not daring to open their eyes, lest the spell be broken and they find out it had all been a dream.

"I blame you for it."

(Y/n) opened their eyes and shifted to the side so that they could see Dmitry's smiling face, his gentle features reflecting a pure, and beautiful bliss. "You blame me?"

Dmitry dipped his head in a nod. "I mean, I could blame my good looks for it, but that's not nearly as fun." (Y/n) scoffed, and in the dim light of the storm, they thought Dmitry winked. 

"Well, I blame all of you for my happiness - good looks included."

"I'm glad," Dmitry murmured, and he leaned forward to kiss them gently, like the sun kissing the earth; all the universe seemed to pause for Dmitry to pull away so that the two might have calm in their precious moment.

Dmitry closed his eyes to sleep and (Y/n) came closer, kissing his eyelids before allowing themself to drift off, as well.

OK ANASTASIA AND DMITRI HEADCANONS BECAUSE ILTSM (both musical and movie they've merged in my head)

- Dmitri doesn't know how to read. Which makes sense when you remember that he grew up in Imperial and Soviet Russia, so for someone of the working class it was very common to be uneducated. Anya is very determined to change that.

- Anya teaching Dmitri French is utterly hilarious because of one word. That word being "The." Dmitri yelling at a dictionary about WHY THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO SAY ONE WORD and WHY DOES THAT WORD EVEN EXIST IT DOESN'T NEED TO EXIST WE DON'T HAVE IT IN RUSSIAN and also WHY ARE HALF THE LETTERS SILENT THAT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I'VE EVER HEARD and we couldn't forget WHY ARE THE LETTERS MAKING DIFFERENT SOUNDS??? WHY IS Н MAKING AN 'N' SOUND AND И MAKING AN 'I' SOUND ANYA I CAN ONLY LEARN ONE LANGUAGE AT ONCE STOP LAUGHING AT MY PAIN-

- Three words. Dmitri, Paris, Chocolate. Really anything that's not stale bread and cabbage in water but specifically chocolate. He's really cautious at first because obviously he's never had any in his life and he takes a bite and just- melts into nothing because it is the single-most delicious thing he had ever ingested and can he please have more- It's safe to say that he downed three entire chocolate bars in the space of 93 minutes and had no regrets.

- Anya spends a ridiculous amount of time orchestrating various pranks on Vlad and Dmitri because why not? The ones with Vlad were always really nice and friendly, like surprising him by speaking with him only in french, or making him think something was wrong so he'd go to the ballroom and find the gramaphone set up ready to play a polka. Dmitri was no spared any mercy. He got the trip sure, the fake spiders (he screamed bloody murder and Anya was dying of laughter for a solid ten minutes,) he got the sack of lentils that was actually full of rocks so when he went to bed it was... not pleasant. Hey, she was a wild child. (The pranks still persisted even after they got married, just not as mean... except for the spiders.)

- For some reason, idk why, but Dmitri seems like an artsy painter person. He doesn't think he is, but then he tries it and realises that he is very observant in the way light chances the hue of different objects and in how to catch the small things that make art lifelike. His favourite art style is a little cartoon that he does on the edges of notebooks and journals like a flipbook which keeps him entertained for ages.

- Dmitri likes flowers. Nuff said. Anya just buys him flowers constantly. The bigger and gaufier they are, the better. When questioned why, he simply says "they're pretty and I like pretty things."

- As much as Anya hated having to practice as a child, she is very talented at music. They have an old, 2nd hand upright that lives in the corner of their living room and when Anya gets the time she plays a little something on the piano. Sometimes it's a classic piece she learnt years ago that muscle memory still remembers or a little jazz that she's learning, or sometimes she just plays around with what sounds nice.

- Because I don't think Anya and Dima went back to Russia (because that's dumb why go back to the place that's trying to kill you,) Anya becomes a schoolteacher in France teaching English. The kids love her because she's firm but gentle and helps them all no matter what and sometimes gives them little treats if they've been very good. There was a rumor (in St Petersburg???) going around about a tall, brooding man that no one seemed to know who always looked grumpy and never spoke and many of the kids scared each other by theorizing that he was an evil spy coming to steal their food and toys. Imagine the shock they all felt when he knocked on the door one day with a satchel in hand and sheepishly smiles at Anya, who takes it with a smile, mutters something in a foreign language that was not English or French, and then KISSES HIM ON THE CHEEK????? SILENT MYSTERIOUS EVIL MAN GETS A KISS FROM SWEET, KIND FAIRY TEACHER????? Anya then explains that no he's not going to steal their food and toys and that he is in fact really sweet and he does speak but he's very self-councious because he's not fluent and his accent is thick and also he is her husband. SILENT MYSTERIOUS EVIL MAN ISN'T ACTUALLY SILENT EVIL AND MYSTERIOUS AND IS MARRIED TO SWEET KIND FAIRY TEACHER!?!?!??!

that's all for today folks до свидания (do svidanya) and dont die
