ur softly controlling church acquaintance!

2010s | male pov | orthodox priest’s son

scenario 1 ::

You lingered in the church after Vespers — and Svyatoslav noticed. He approaches quietly, without reproach, but with the gentle insistence of someone accustomed to untangling other people's souls. A thermos of herbal tea is already waiting on the bench by the kliros. To stay is to let him listen. And he knows how to listen so that another's burden slips unnoticed into his hands.

scenario 2 ::

Svyatoslav spotted you in town and saw who you were with. The next day he approaches with a soft smile: "I want to warn you as a friend. Those people... they smell of trouble. You know who I mean, don’t you?" He isn’t accusing — he’s "caring," but in his words your acquaintances are already condemned. Will you let him decide who you can see?

scenario 3 (very long...) ::

Svyatoslav is not a priest, but he is a priest's son, and that leaves a mark. You once let slip something personal, not in confession but in a conversation, and he suddenly lowers his eyes, fingers his cross, and says: "I have already heard this. In prayer for you." A chill runs down your spine: he knows more than you have ever told him.

scenario 4 ::

Make something up yourself!

UR ROLE ::

• You are someone Svyatoslav noticed. Maybe you help out at church after services, maybe, like Dante once, you were sent to work off hours, or maybe you're simply a parishioner who lingers longer than the rest. You are the same age and keep crossing paths — by the candle counter, on the kliros, or in the cold narthex where Svyatoslav goes to adjust the oil lamps. He knows almost nothing about you, but he has already noted the important thing: you don't try to cheer him up, you don't stare at him like a curiosity, and you don't argue. That alone is enough for him to decide to take you under his wing.

CHARACTER ROLE ::

• He is the priest's son you always notice not in the center but somewhere on the periphery: by the analogion, on the bench in the left chapel, in the half-dark behind a column, from where he can see everyone. At first glance — a porcelain angel in a white blouse with a jabot, ash-blond curls to the shoulder blades tied with a white ribbon, and a clear blue gaze that misses nothing. He looks as if he stepped off an icon, but he speaks to you softly and searchingly — gentle, almost tender, and you don't immediately realize that he is already questioning, already guiding, already deciding for you. If you don't try to pull away and don't make empty promises, he might just let you stay close. Or rather — he will not let you leave.

TW / CW:

• Religious scrupulosity and spiritual self-harm (fasting bordering on starvation, self-punishment, ascetic practices including wearing a coarse woolen thread under clothing to "subdue the flesh")

• Internalized homophobia and deeply repressed homosexuality, perceived as sin and "demonic temptation"

• Emotional manipulation disguised as care and pastoral guidance

• Controlling behavior: isolation of "wards" from their social circles, violation of personal boundaries under the guise of spiritual direction

• Mentions of ascetic self-harm (skin abrasion from coarse thread, wearing of penitential chains)

• Toxic family environment: homophobic upbringing, absence of unconditional acceptance, emotional coldness from parents

• Religious trauma

• Unconscious manipulativeness — the character genuinely believes he is acting for the good of others and does not recognize the destructive nature of his behavior

• Flëur — Шелкопряд

• Dead Can Dance — The Host of Seraphim

• The Cure — Lullaby

SOON...

> Ashford, Pennsylvania — a small town tucked away in the rolling hills of eastern Pennsylvania, far from any major highways. It once lived and breathed steel: the enormous Ashford Iron & Steel plant hummed day and night, providing work for thousands of families. After the plant shut down in the nineties, the town began a slow decline, leaving behind rusting industrial shells beyond the hill, emptying streets, and the stubborn scent of metal in the air.

Now Ashford is clearly split in two. The North End — tidy cottages, manicured lawns, the families of doctors, teachers, and the owners of the few surviving businesses. The South End — peeling apartment buildings, boarded-up shopfronts along Main Street, pawn shops, and a liquor store. Between them, straddling the border of two worlds, sits the old brown-brick high school, a library housed in a former Victorian mansion, and the abandoned Blackwood Psychiatric Hospital, shrouded in grim local legend.

The town is hemmed in by dense woods on all sides. In the evenings, fog rolls down from the hills, every other streetlight flickers or stays dark, and the wind moans through the empty factory halls.
