The best description of Mephisto ever.
[Read from left to right]
Her name was Maria. I decided to name her after the author Dostoevsky’s mother which can simultaneously be a reference to Jesus’ mother’s name as well, adding to the symbolism.
This is probably the most cliché part so far but I support the mama’s boy Fyodor headcanons unconditionally 😁

Dry, colorful leaves crunched underfoot as Nikolai casually walked through the haunted funfair. Autumn was in full swing, the cold night breeze biting at his bare arms almost making Nikolai regret being out of costume. A few of his actors hurried past him in gruesome costumes adorned with fake blood and scary masks. He scanned the attendees illuminated by the red and yellow lights, dull and unimportant figures that faded into the background. But not you, no you were something special, the only person who shone so bright, was so captivating, that he couldn’t help but crave you. He knew you’d be here, and he would find you.
Deft eyes scanned the audience until they landed on you, his dove, looking around with a small smile. You were in your own little world, lost in the thrill of the fair and the darker sides of reality. Dodging between a few guests shrieking in horror at a jump-scare, Nikolai made his way over to you, your back turned to him until he deftly grabbed your arm, "Hey sweetheart, are you enjoying the fair so far?"

(Something I want the reader to understand is that what Fyodor says in the last 2 slides is not a rationally attained conclusion- but a developing coping mechanism that will manifest as a delusional mindset. The trauma from having accidentally killed people is easier for his brain to survive if it convinces itself that it was somehow the right thing to do and that Fyodor was “meant” to do it. Once I post the next few parts I will explain more in detail.)

With this, the entirety of The Path To Freedom AU series is concluded. There are no more spoilers left now! Feel free to share your thoughts and interpretations, I'm really interested to hear your experience reading this fanwork and what you guys think. Headcanons about this AU are welcome as well!
I got this idea in January and published the first part in February. I can't believe this went on for 9 months, time flies😭 And I'm kinda sad it's over now, this AU has grown on me... I still want to publish some of my thought processes behind different aspects of the story later and make some art for it separately from the plot but that might take a while, because not only am I a master in procrastination but I also have some other projects I need to work on at the moment, so bear with me.
Thank you for all the love and support, I appreciate it more than I could ever put into words🫶
And special thanks to Arabella W. for helping me out with the script and supporting me throughout the creative process, this project wouldn’t be the same without you <3

Do you think you could expand more on your Otto ramble? :3
You'd never be safe from his prying eyes or ears. He could set up cameras and microphones in your home and install a GPS tracking chip in the back of your neck without you even noticing.
That is, all assuming that he hasn't already moved you into his home yet.
If you're a Valkyrie/work for Schicksal, don't be surprised when you're suddenly barred from going on missions and are "promoted" to be his personal assistant who does nothing but paperwork all day and follows him around to meetings and announces his daily schedule.
Otto collects items that you've used, anything to get his hands on a source of your DNA. Things like your used toothbrush, a piece of chewed up gum, your pen that has your fingerprints on it, a lock of hair, and of course - the "Holy Relic" as he calls it - your used undergarments.
Anyways, Otto is a fucking loser and drinks jizz out of solo cups and that's all that has to be said about him.
