#ivan is literally my favorite which is what i get for loving a background henchman doomed by the narrative XD

Do you foresee much Fedyor/Ivan content in season 2, given that they became so popular in the fandom? They both die in the next book, if the show ends up following that, but still?

To be honest... no? I'm happy to eat any amount of crow about this if I am wrong, and I would love to be so, because I adore them (obviously) and Ivan is my Favorite. But I'm 100% braced for them either to not bring Ivan back, bring him back and not let them interact/have any scenes together, or bring him back and then they both die at the end a la book 2 anyway. I am old and Tired and as a rule, I generally side-eye TV writers with queer characters, especially after they made Fivan into a couple specifically for the series even though, yes, THEY BOTH DIE.

Anyway. As I said, I would love to be wrong, and I will doubtless watch s2 anyway. But if they mistreat my beloved background henchmen boys, oh, it is ON SIGHT.
