Priorities [Russia -> Liet <-> Poland] [3/4]

1989 was a bad year for Russia.
Poland had always been a thorn in his side, but he cursed him doubly now. Once the other satellites had seem the useless peacock get away with flouting him, they'd jumped on board, Hungary sneaking out to see Austria so often that there was no more sense in pretenses, East Germany getting swept up in the frenzy and tearing down the Wall. Perhaps, he thought bitterly, Poland was just too stupid to be afraid. If only he'd have stayed dead.
The Iron Curtain had fallen; the Warsaw Pact was finished. It soured Russia's spirits; he became more unpredictable than ever, sulking in his room and drinking every evening, lashing out at his socialist republics to remind them that he was still in charge. The Pact had collapsed, but the Union had to hold.
They had to know that he controlled them, that he was strong. That would keep them together.

That was really beautiful! I really really loved the description of Poland's hands, and Poland was really in character so that was great! Go Liet! Poor Russia... (at least he'll get Belarus back :p)

Eeeee~
LietPol is one of my OTPs, but what I really like about this fill is that you didn't turn Russia into a heartless villain. You gave him motivation and actually made me feel really bad for the poor guy, so kudos to you.

I loved this. I loved Lithuania's strength which is so rarely shown and I loved how you tried to make us understand how Russia's actions came from his desperation and pain and loneliness and how much he suffered right along with everyone else. This was wonderful I think I got a little teary while reading it.
