FOUND IT it’s called IceblinkbyOceanbreeze7 and it features yassen as alex’s adoptive father and mentor, alex being a pickpocket and jealous of julius, and nile being great
Like any big character in the fandom, Yassen Gregorovich has been taken in many directions. Each author seems to have their own “version” of him and Cthulhu has one of the best honed over years of writing fantastic multi chapter stories involving him. Her Yassen is sharp and dynamic across the many different circumstances he finds himself in under her pen. But for all that he changes, he keep his very practical and lethal edge which is a rare treat that goes far in upping the stakes and tension in her fics.
Cthulhu is most well known for Bad Cards, a multi chapter Outsider POV look into Alex and Yassen’s relationship in the field through the lens of a failed mission. But you would be doing yourself a disservice if you stopped there. She has multiple fics that explore their relationship in new and exciting ways - The Handler takes a look at Yassen’s less than impressed views on Alex and the many handlers MI6 gives him, Under Siege gives Alex’s perspective on just how much larger the intelligence world is using painfully real details with a lovely little twist.
All that said, one of her latest projects has captured a piece of my heart and so I wanted to share it with the rest of the fandom as well. A Dream of Retold Lives is yet another fic where saying too much would take away the delicious mystery of it as you are thrown into the same amount of confusion as Alex and really everyone in this strange new world. It’s a creative premise executed beautifully to bring a lingering sense of fear and foreboding. Much like the rest of her works, it is a masterpiece and one that deserves more attention than it has gotten but from such a strong author that can be said about much of her work.
