    Summary

    Standing on the poisoned ground of Chernobyl, Boris and Ulana watch helplessly as the car drives away from the makeshift courthouse. They watch with their hearts in their throats and their stomachs in their shoes as the KGB drive away with their comrade in tow. Not "comrade" in the Party sense of the word. They'd perverted it. If telling a truth that potentially saved lives was punished like this, they'd perverted it. They perverted everything.

    But what else was there to call it? They'd never dared name the strange shape that had formed around the three of them. Between them. Through them. A year in the crucible of Chernobyl had changed them inexorably, as the accident would change everything for kilometers around it and for years to come.

    And now they were split asunder, just as cruelly as they had been fused together.

    "Where are they taking him?" Ulana asks, staring up at Boris with wide, lost eyes. She looks shell-shocked. Horrified. I did this,her face says. I told him to tell the truth at all costs, and now he's going to pay. Just him. It should be me.

    Summary

    "For a moment, it’s just the two of them, alone together. The world outside is forgotten.

    For a moment, they’re happy."

    Or, the slowest of slow burns, as Boris Shcherbina and Valery Legasov work together to save lives after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and fall in love for the first time in the process.

    Canon-compliant, but with missing scenes and post-canon that allow Boris and Valery to fall in love and make their respective peace with their lives and deaths.

    Summary

    “I fell in love with a man.”

    The words stunned him. The confession was strange, unexpected and disarming. He could feel Valery’s hands freeze in place. The younger man did not look at him. He seemed to pull into himself, bracing for judgment. In the Soviet Union, one wrong confession to the wrong person could end a man’s life, free and direct trip to a psychological unit.

    The name Mykola rose in Boris’s throat. A simple answer. A quiet “me too.” But he could not say it. Years of fear pushed the words back down.
