an opportunity to ask about grace wips.......... i'd be a fool to miss it
12 and 13 please!!
hehe ily <3 these two are both ideas i'm plotting for fyodor ship week in june!!
midnight baptism (12) is a no-powers au that is. pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. fyodor nathaniel and nikolai sneak into a church in the middle of the night because fyodor wants to be re-baptized after coming out as trans
fyothaniel communion (13) takes place the night before nathaniel's brainwashing/lobotomy/whatever in which he comes to fyodor and says he wants to partake in communion one last time before the procedure, and asks fyodor to do the sermon for it.
see. okay so the thing is. people are always like "omg i love writing fics as an excuse to infodump about my non-fandom related knowledge from non-fandom related interests" but the non-fandom topic i have spent literally my entire life studying and memorizing is The Bible. and i can't just make any random characters bible quizzers or send them to youth group or whatever. so now that i finally have characters who are canonically religious that gives me the perfect opportunity to write fics about things i'm very familiar with but have never had a chance to explore in fics before. like baptism and communion. maybe i'll even make nathaniel a bible quizzer at some point. you never know what could happen next.

Every year, kids come to the Chidon Ha-Tanach, the country’s biggest competition on Hebrew Bible knowledge, because it’s their idea of fun. It’s like a game of trivia, many tell me, only the questions are religious and even more obscure.
(Sample question: “Who found a scroll of the Teaching in the House of the Lord?” Answer: Hilkiah, a Hebrew priest who lived 600 years before Jesus entered the scene.)
But Hadassah Esther Ritch, a 13-year-old from New Jersey, has other motives.
“The reason why I wanted to do this is because I want to become an orthodontist, and then after that, the prime minister of Israel,” Ritch tells me in a packed gymnasium in the Bronx on a recent rainy Sunday in April.
For the past year, Ritch tells me she’s pored over the Tanach—the Hebrew Bible—even skipping recess and lunch to prepare for this moment.
“I studied every single second I had a break,” she says, beaming through her braces. “I studied really, really, really hard.”
Ritch is among 325 middle and high school students who’ve gathered here from across the country, some from as far away as California and Texas—with each one vying to prove they’re the most learned young Jewish scholar in America. There have never been this many kids going after the crown, according to Dovi Nadel, a New York rabbi who’s organized the event for the past eight years.
“The kids are becoming more competitive each year,” Nadel, the 2007 Chidon champ, tells me.
Then he adds: “It’s like the World Series or the Super Bowl.”
But really, it’s the NFL playoffs.
On the line is a free trip to Israel, where the top two winners from the middle and high school divisions compete against Jewish students from all over the world for the international title. There, under brighter stage lights and on national television in Jerusalem, one ultimate champion will be anointed by the country’s prime minister on Israel’s Independence Day next spring. Each year, dozens of countries participate in the international Chidon Ha-Tanach, but since 1958, when Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, founded the contest, Israelis have won 57 out of the 60 years it’s been held. In 2010, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s own son, Avner, won locally in Jerusalem only to come third the international competition.
