I know the most likely outcome with Fyolai next episode is the whole “the antidote was the poison all along” switcheroo, but personally, I would love to see Fyodor undone by his own over planning.
Nikolai has been pretty straightforward and honest so far about his feelings for Fyodor and his motivations for wanting him dead, so even thought I doubt something like this could actually happen, I think a more beautifully tragic ending for them would be for Nikolai to be telling the truth, but for Fyodor to be incapable of trusting his intentions.
Think about it, Nikolai, happy to get what he wanted but didn’t allow himself to want — finally able to have Fyodor is his life without feeling trapped by it because he let go and left it to chance and Fyodor won anyway — giving Fyodor the antidote only for Fyodor to refuse to take it.
Fyodor’s undoing should be thinking that he knows better and doubting that someone who truly wants something would ever leave it to chance, doubting Nikolai’s plan is actually just what he said it was, no additional hidden motivations or manipulations, but truly and actually just letting it unfold as he told them all he would.
Because while Nikolai does want his freedom, he has also been very open about being fond of Fyodor. It’s why he wants him gone in the first place.
To have them both get everything they wanted only to lose it at the last second, for Nikolai to realize there is no freedom, because even if he lets go of what he feels and leaves it to chance and Fyodor wins and everything works out perfectly, then there are still Fyodor’s feelings and those are the feelings of someone used to scheming and unwilling to trust, if Nikolai lets go only to be hurt anyway, I feel like that would be hauntingly beautiful.
Specially considering all the talk of bonds and trust that’s been brought up by this arc, this could all line up for a perfect tragedy.
Bsd doesn’t really do many permanent deaths, specially not when the characters have been with us for a while, but if Fyodor is supposed to be gone at the end of this arc, I think this might be a pretty devastating way to do it.
In all honesty, I don’t think it will go like this at all, but kind of want it to.
As someone who enjoys their dynamic for how twisted their reluctance to have affection makes them, I think it would be interesting to see that reluctance be what takes them out. If Nikolai could accept having Fyodor as a friend, the poison wouldn’t have been given to him in the first place and if Fyodor could accept that Nikolai is his friend in a deranged, but genuine way, then he would take the antidote.
As it is, they could destroy each other just by how they’ve been destroying themselves :’)

Anonymous said: What do you see in Fyodor, Manager? Surely you could have anyone you wanted, you’re more than capable. But … you don’t strike me as someone who would sympathize with a terrorist like Dostoevsky or the DOA as a whole. I mean… you’re so reputable! Why them?
What does he see in Fedya? Sigma can’t say that the question comes as any form of surprise. Certainly not with how people typically responded to mention of the Russian. But that has never dampened the angel’s view. What angel so easily forsakes their god because of the words of someone who doubts?
“ What do I see? My future husband. “ Sigma answers, lips curving up into an easy smile as he gives a little, relaxed laugh before his expression relaxes into something more serious as he tackles the questions properly.
“ In truth, having someone was never a goal nor something I expected to have. “ Sigma admits, his tone softer. “ I suppose many would find that surprising given my love for tragedies and the romantics. But it’s true. “ For the first few years of his memory, there was nothing but agony and misery. He got to experience first-hand the cruelty that humans, even ordinary humans, were capable of. He was nothing but a tool to exploit for them. It’d only been in mythology and other texts he got his hands on once in a while that he could escape and see the world as a beautiful place, in contrast to his bleak and painful experiences thus far.
“ Fedya doesn’t need my sympathy, nor do any of the other members. ” If anything, HE had been the recipient of THEIR sympathy, not the other way around. “ Why them? They have been the ones who were there for me, who HAVE been there for me. Admittedly, I get along with some better than others, and I know some of them more than others. I know Nikolai and Fedya best. But still… They were the closest I had to a home before the casino. ” They were the closest to making him feel like a person. They’d been the ones who’d been there when he had broken wings and taught him how to soar high above the earth. His first taste of care. They had their goals, but they’d never hidden that from him. Their intentions were said to his face, deals were honored. (It made Nikolai’s later rescue of him purely for his ability all the more painful. To once again be reduced to a tool. )
Sigma’s expression softens, gentle with affection that was nearly tangible in the space as he ponders the initial question. “ You asked what I see in him? Where does one even begin with such a monumental task of putting their heart into words? ” Truly, when the love in his heart felt as endless as the skies above. “ I love him. He is the one I adore. I don’t care what anyone else might say. My love for him will never waver. “ He exhales gently, though it is more so a gesture to keep himself from talking a million miles an hour rather than anything else. “ He is my savior. In him I see summer’s warmth with winter’s beauty. Of course he’s a genius, but there’s so much more to that. “ He smiles softly. “ There’s a Greek saying. Εκατό καρδιές θα ήταν πολύ λίγες για να κρατήσουν όλη την αγάπη μου για σένα. It means, a hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you. It is the most accurate statement I can say of my love. “
“ He was the first one to be honest and true with me. The first to treat me like an actual person, and he kept his word. He’s had faith in me even when I struggled to have it in myself at times. He’s as complicated and beautiful as the fabric of reality. I love to hear him play music, to learn new things from him, to be able to be there for him. He...pushes me to fly higher but is there when I falter. I know he isn’t as expressive in the traditional sense of explicit words or grand gestures, but I don’t doubt his love. “
He was rambling now, wasn’t he? “ ...Why Fedya? Because he makes me undeniably, indescribably happy. I would tear apart the Fates for him if it was necessary. I could never do justice in words to the love for him that runs in my veins. I just...hope he knows it. And that it’s not too much. “

Heyyy I see your requests are open would I be able to request hc for sigma,Nikolai and fyodor with a s/o who has the same personality as aku like rly cold and only rly cares about one specific person that person being them :))))
a/n: ty for your request! i really had to use my brain for this one but it was really fun to think about!! :))
warnings: none
Sigma, Nikolai and Fyodor with an s/o who's cold and only cares about one person
· He would be SO afraid of you at first pls
· Like, he’s the kind of guy who tries to get along with everyone so when he came up to you to chat a bit and you just stared at him like he was the most boring person ever his brain short-circuited
· And he saw how you were with others, so it could’ve been worse but STILL
· Made it his personal mission to get you to at least talk with him
· But he knew he couldn’t just,, talk to you so he did little things to get you to warm up to him like bringing you a snack or reminding you to take care of yourself
· He’d be very respectful of your personal boundaries
· He didn’t even do it to get you to like him, but once you warmed up to him and showed that y’know, you do have emotion his heart just exploded
· All this guy wants is a place to belong so the moment you show him you care about him, he’s sold
· He’s super appreciative of everything you do for him too
· Lol when he’s dealing with a rude customer and you just stand behind him and threateningly stare at that person
· And the Karen is like “Oh, uh, sorry” and slowly backs off, leaving Sigma there super confused
· You’re his personal bodyguard plus s/o!
· Ohhhh boy how did this even happen
· Y’all are complete opposites LMAO
· Like, Nikolai is extroverted but absolutely hates deeper connections and wants to be free, while you’re cold to everyone but cling to one specific person?
· But I can lowkey see it work as an enemies-to-lovers type thing
· Well not enemies but like, annoyance-to-lovers
· Like Nikolai starts with annoying the SHIT out of you
· But you HAVE to work together so you can’t just leave (though you probably tried. Multiple times.)
· A few deep talks later you both catch feelings
· And while you’re trying to get closer to him, he’s fucking panicking bestie
· Give this man some space please or he will 100% try to murder your ass
· You’re gonna have to put in some serious work to get him over it
· But once you’re both ready for it you’ll be the most chaotic couple ever (good for you, bad for everyone else)
· The first impression SUCKED
· When you two first met it was like a battle between who had the coldest glare
· You didn’t like him, he didn’t like you. But that would soon change. Just kidding… Unless?
· The tension could be cut with a knife
· He could definitely see you had value for his plans and if he was completely honest, he was starting to get a bit intrigued by you
· Probably wasn’t interested in actually getting together with you at first, just wanted to weaponize your feelings
· Took it as a challenge to get you to like him but with way more manipulation involved compared to Sigma (Sigma would NEVER)
· But Cupid is a fucking bitch and had different plans
· The more he hung out with you, the more he became interested in you and the more you occupied his mind and oh shit he caught feelings.
· His objective stayed the same but where he was just playing a bit before, he really got serious now
· He can definitely keep his emotions out of his work so don’t expect any less work from him when you’re dating
· Man’s gonna be masterminding his way to a first date
· 'If I do this and that they'll like me enough to- And then this and that-' GOD shut up just ask them out
· But he’ll try to make sure you are safe in the end (not that he’d tell you that)
please comment/reblog if you enjoyed! i’d love to hear what y'all think <3
