Summary
"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."
In Soviet Russia, the year 1980, renowned opera singer Christine Daae learns just how painfully, horribly true those words could be when her husband Erik, a discharged KGB spy returns from his commission to Afghanistan shattered beyond repair. In their world of tragic love and dauntless devotion, where nothing is as it seems and all is so easily torn apart, these fragile and lost souls must learn each other once more, to mend what has been broken before everything is lost forever.
—A tale of love, loss and healing. Set in late 1970s to early 1980s, centring around the Soviet Union's war with Afghanistan.

This morning, on a numb cloud, he walked the short distance from his room to hers, the sudden urge to see his darling in peaceful sleep taking hold, pushing him every step like the flames consuming his music. (E/C, mostly Kay AU with dashes of ALW/Leroux.)
