I have Taya-Artemy thoughts in general, but this prompt made things a little tougher. Still, I think Artemy's childhood was so fulfilling, he's sad for all the kids in the town now.
I was complaining to some people that I'd accidentally convinced myself that grief/saburov might be an interesting dynamic. But yeah, here's the reason for that.
I have a headcanon that Grief has a soft spot for Anna, because he sees her as a kindred spirit, in terms of performance of a certain type of morality. I tried to write this three times, and none of them worked, but this was the closest.
The obvious choice for a devil, with a prompt like this is Anna. But I thought it would be more fun if Capella's colder, calculating side showed up a little more. She's a kind girl, but not always....
I don't think Taya and Lara are very similar at all, tbh, I had to wrack my brains to make this work a bit, but I think I did alright! It's hard, Taya and Lara have very opposite ideas of revenge, but they do care in the same way, perhaps.
