Happy belated birthday to Kate Mulgrew!
•счастье наутро, горе под вечер—всё так странно и вечно...•
•пусть это будет зваться любовью,
самой нелепой, самой земною!
пусть это будет дьявольским зноем —
зноем, сжигающим всё!•
translation:
•happiness in the morning, sorrow in the evening—
everything is so strange and eternal...•
•let it be called love,
the most absurd, the most earthly!
let it be a devilish heat—
a heat that burns everything!•

(Fanfiction made for: @cherrychan-0110 !!!)
It was a regular day in the shop, at least it seems to be. Mari was in the back, crocheting a few dolls, hats, anything that came to mind. She was thinking about… life. How unfair it is. The large Sunny puppet was sitting on the side of the desk, where it always was. And that was when Martin came in. She was snapped out of her thoughts almost instantly.
“Hello?”
“Huh? Oh. Hey, Martin.”
“Uh— hey, Mari. What are you.. doing?”
“Makin’ stuff.”
“Oh, uh.. like what?”
“Hats, dolls… mostly dolls, honestly.”
“Oh, alright…”
“Uh…. You alright??”
“Wha—? Oh, yeah! I’m.. I’m fine. Just…”
“Look, I need to get something off my chest.”
“Oh. Mm.”
“So….. I just feel like something’s.. going on.”
“Going on? Like…??”
“Between… Arthur and.. Gloria. It just feels like something’s going on..”
“What do you mean? Be specific.”
“Like they have a connection! That’s what I mean!”
She didn’t flinch at his outburst, but she did get quiet.
“……”
“And I.. I don’t know what to do about it. Me and Gloria have been trying, Mari. Over and over, and what happens EVERY TIME? NO CHILDREN.”
“It’s like life just HATES me. And then I have this toy shop that I need to manage.. and I get complaints about the toys…. It’s just- everything is happening at once and I’m STRESSED.”
“………”
“Lemme ask you a question. When did their… “connection”—“
She says, putting up air quotes.
“— start happening??”
“It.. it feels like it’s been always.. but they didn’t have THIS connection before. Even YOU know that.”
“I repeat the question since you’re evidently hard of hearing. WHEN did it start happening?”
“………”
“The first time we tried for.. a baby.”
“Mm. And how do you know they have this “connection”??”
She says, putting up air quotes yet again.
“They way they look at each other… the way they’re sometimes both at OUR house and.. talking… what else do I have to think??”
“Ok…. You’re clearly a little blue, you want some tea??”
“…. Yeah. I just need to clear my head….”
“Good.”
She goes to the nearby kettle and turns it on. She gets those tea bags ready.
When it’s done, she places the cup in front of him. Well, it’s not like she didn’t make any for herself, right?
“Mm…”
“Thanks, Mari. I needed that. You understand me well..”
“Don’t worry, I can tell. I needed this too, ya know.
