Title: Aftermath

Canon: Eastern Promises

Pairing: Nikolai Luzhin/Kirill

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 1,605

Summary: In the aftermath of Semyon’s arrest, Nikolai must decide what is to be done with Kirill.

Recommendation: I saw this bleak movie ages ago, and even still it has the distinction of having the most unsettlingly brutal and realistic fight scene I’ve ever seen on film. All the the interactions between these two were so fraught, so full of all the things not said. Like how Nikolai was really a cop and Kirill was so, so very gay for him but hated himself for it. I like to think Nikolai had a little soft spot of Kirill, for though he’s a bad man you knew he was a victim of his father too.
