    Summary

    A safe house in Maine, two long weeks, and a love affair.

    Summary

    Jack Ryan knows the entire endeavour is probably a mistake pretty early on. Not quite as early as speaking up in that meeting, but shortly after when he was sent to try and execute the mission himself, not-a-field-agent-but-an-analyst notwithstanding.
    He manages, in the end, but there is a price to pay for it. Luckily, he doesn't have to pay it alone.

    Summary

    “Ryan.” Ramius looked rather pleased to see him, Jack thought, immediately chiding himself for imagining such a thing. “What brings you to York Cliffs?”

    “Just a neighbourly call,” Jack told him. “Thought I’d see how you were settling in.”

    “The Admiral sent you?”

    “Kind of. I think he gave me your address just to get me out from underfoot.”

    Summary

    After a time, after more time, Bart Mancuso thinks that Red October will just be something that happened to him, another story he can’t tell. He thinks it will fade into memory, like everything else, and he doesn’t know why that bothers him, doesn’t know why it aches somewhere in the pit of his stomach, when he lets himself think about it for too long.

    “I don’t want you to regret this.” Bart says, quietly. “For you to end up hating me.”

    “I am never going to hate you.”

    “Are you ever going to love me?”

    Summary

    Marko Ramius will always be their captain, always be her widower, always be a foreigner in this new country. He does not count on becoming anyone’s beloved, anyone’s baby, anyone’s darling…and yet, mercifully, happily, he does.

    “From here on in, their lives are their own. So’s yours, for the record. You can do anything you want.”

    Anything, he thinks, is a remarkably capacious suggestion, when they are sitting too close, his knee jammed against his thigh, beneath the too-small table. What are the limits of freedom? Where do they start and end? He does not have any idea.

    “You’re gonna be fine.” The commander assures him. “You’ll find your way.”

    And that may be the first time he lets himself believe in any American dream.

    Summary

    Marko Ramius had expected many things from his new life in America. Safety. Stability. Rest. Comfort in his old age. He had never thought of love, of joy, of friendship, and yet he finds all of these, and in one person.

    “I’ve spent every day of my life, since that Christmas, just wanting to be loved again.”

    Summary

    And he remembers learning English, and all of the words, all of the expressions that he never thought he would use, all of the words he has wished, in this new life, that he could more easily remember. He tries to recall all of the strange, unfamiliar words which he had never thought he would use. He had loved her as he had learned foreign languages, applied every word to her, to them, and not ever dreamed of this, of using these strange, lovely words with another person. And yet here he is. Here they are.

    Summary

    For reasons that may or may not be specified and will be ridiculously improbable either way, the Red October plus crew (and a few extras) stays in that river for longer than expected, and since Jack needs to be debriefed as well, and is really tired at this point, he ends up sharing a cabin with Marko Ramius. Yes, that tiny little cabin we saw in the film. And yes, it’s for more than one night.

    This scenario may be played out multiple times with different variations of platonic, romantic, and kinky relationship dynamics. It may feature: Marko Ramius, Jack Ryan, Bart Mancuso, James Greer, with guest appearances by Sally Ryan and Stanley the Bear

    Summary

    Vasily Borodin's journey in The Hunt for Red October, through his reading of The Suitcase by Sergei Dovlatov.

    "Natalia was the gravity in Marko’s universe, the factor he could always rely upon to keep everything in its place, working to logic. It was as simple as trust, their love. Losing her was what had turned his world upside down, made a defector out of a Soviet military hero. Such a love frightens and captivates him in equal measure, and he finds himself telling the man who has become his father, one day, that his greatest wish is for love. Love and a bit of land."

    —Puedes confiar en mí, Markasha —dijo Vasily con firmeza—. Sabes que te seguiría hasta el fin del mundo si me lo pidieras.

    Si hubiese sido un tiempo más propicio, Ramius hubiese sonreído ante eso. Esta vez, sólo asintió.

    —Bien. Porque eso es precisamente lo que voy a pedirte…
