Fics like path to paradise (road to ruin)

“My work is here.” “Here?” Mitya’s head is pounding, so he’s not sure if he’s actually hearing him right. “You’re not-” “The first tenet of my assignment,” Valeriy cuts in, “was your safety. We may have forgotten it over the course of these years, but escorting you back to work was always the secondary task.” Mitya looks away. The snowstorm is still going. Valeriy sets down the containers on his table, his motions slow and unpracticed. “If it is my role to protect you from your own mind,” he continues, quietly, “then understand that I will be there.” “You’re taking on an… impossible task, Sarge.” Mitya’s scarf wraps around himself a little more tightly, as if trying to reassure him. He’s not sure that it’s succeeding. “You shouldn’t. I’ve always been crazy. They knew that too. It’s a small price to pay, to see our world freed from these curses.” Valeriy does not say anything, but Mitya knows he disagrees. OR: Mitya, on the topic of research and faith; and Valeriy, who will always be there. (and in some ways: Orpheus, and Eurydice.)
