One of my readers once wrote to me: “No matter what you write, it turns out to be “Stalker”. Perhaps that’s how it is. I love fan fiction, and I don’t write for money. So another one formed by itself. The main character taken (surprise!) from the first book of “Shadows of the Monolith” (the edited version is here on Flibusta: and the old one on liters: teni-monolita/). This time my playful fingers reached for the cycle “Svarog” by Bushkov. As they said in “Svoboda”: “Did you see how I did it!?” Read and don’t swear too much :) P.S. For those who read to the end: to be continued. Actually, the second part has already been written and is now in the stage of polishing the plot. P.P.S., if you read this, I could not forgive you generously. refrain from jumping on the pianos, a lot of which you left in the bushes of your cycle, and just forgot there.
