My Blade, Your Back by K.M. Moronova
This book turned me into a conspiracy theorist. I trust NOTHING that comes out of the Dark Forces universe now. I have so many theories, I can't even process it all.
Anyway, it's so obvious these two love struck dumbasses read poetry in their free time.
I love how they've turned their code names into something for them, changed their meanings to suit the narrative they want for themselves rather than the one the Dark Forces has written for them.
I just love them.
The careful concealment of certain aspects, the way the story unfolded, it was all so tragic and perfect. I am unwell.
