    As he marched down the stairs, he only had the will to respond to one question.
    “Governor Jones, if you could tell Senator Braginsky anything right now after this debate, what would you tell him?”
    “Easy,” he snorted, leaning his chin towards the microphone, “I’d tell him to bash his head against those fancy white pillars of his and knock himself out ‘til he’s as dead as a fucking rock.”

    42-year-old Governor Alfred Jones is running for president of the United States. An uncharacteristically childlike yet prosperous man, raised in Texas by his Baptist family: a shining beacon in politics with a lavish life full of money and women. Best of all, he’s convinced he’s going to win.
    37-year-old Senator Ivan Braginsky is running for president of the United States. A beautiful, intelligent man, raised in Moscow by his older sister: a reserved yet promising figure who rose from his position as an attorney to a politician. Best of all, he’s convinced he’s going to win.

    Summary

    Gilbert was never really good at telling people how he felt, nor was he good at expressing himself beyond his egotistical persona. In other words, it was rare for people to actually, truly know what he was thinking. He's an intriguing person, indeed. It's hard to understand this sort of being—one that has lived for centuries, involved in conflicts and the likes. Can such a "person" even be understood?

    OR

    A series of primary and secondary sources all revolving around a certain individual. I update every Wednesday/Thursday depending on your time zone. I know it LOOKS long, but it's easy to read this fic in increments, and the chapters are usually relatively short.

     

    There are: interview chapters (characters answer a question), hidden documents (often written by humans about their nations), Cleaning Mr. Prussia chapters (self-explanatory), articles (informational), podcast segments (two people talk about countries), diary entries (from Prussia), chapters where we explore Prussia's rooms, a photo album chapter (photo descriptions), and blog chapters (but it's not really a blog) so far.

    Summary

    In the shadowy underbelly of Russia's Bratva, Alfred grapples with affection, escape and survival. What started as fascination spirals into a dark obsession.

    Alfred is spirited away under the pretense of protection. Ivan’s web of manipulation, a gilded cage, love and control blur into something dangerously addictive.
