   Summary

   It was a dangerous plan.
   Perhaps a foolish one too.
   There were lots of things that could go badly.
   Things they probably hadn't even thought of yet.
   And Rozanov held all the real risk here.

   Or a marriage of convenience fic that starts in 2009 and changes the rest of the story.
