Fics like One Giant Leap

“My father once told me he named my older brother, Alexei, after Alexei Leonov-” “The first man on the moon.” “Da, the one and only. I guess he thought he was going to be the one to reach the stars, hm?” “...did he ever tell you who he named you after?” “He claimed it was after Ulyanov, father of Lenin…But my mother said this is just what she told him to get him to agree. She said I was named after Repin.” “Repin?” “He was Russian artist. Very famous in Moscow. Painted so much sadness but so much beauty. Friends with Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy…all people my father would have hated but my mother loved. I guess…I was a disappointment to them, both.”
