0denseBuut I have got just under of 500 words of fic based on Valery Legasov being generally a sad dude: >22.1% on ao3, no archive warnings apply, gen, etc. Would fit decently somewhere in episode 4 but it really doesn't matter. Generally as upbeat as the show can be, which is to say, not really at all.
To be frank I'm less shaking my head at myself for engaging in the chernobyl miniseries like this; I know there's folks up in arms about historical people but I'm not bothered about that. Knowing the difference between fact and fiction is the meat and potatoes of this show, let's chill. No, I'm shaking my head at the fact that I had to go and cite sources. for fic! I'm done with finals! I don't need to be doing this! but, I did:
Also, this is unrelated, but - I applied for a promotion! it got hairy for a minute when the server had a fit, but it's out of my hands and my supervisor will read it and we'll go from there!
I do feel like the right person for this job. Which is incredible in the first place, considering how terrified I was to step in as a volunteer just last fall. But I've grown, and it's been thanks to this office. I'll get to maintain my position if I don't get the promotion, so it's not like I'll be losing out on this place, but I want to do right by it, and that means the promotion. Hey, if there's someone more qualified who waltzes in, sure, and I have faith that my supervisor will pick a decent person! But if that means me, let's do it!
