rec(s) of the day

the brezhnev doctrine by [archiveofourown.org profile] maleficently (The Americans)
Summary: She lives with a stranger who does not see her as anything other than a part of the mission, and so does he. [References up to & including 1x03.]
Elizabeth/Phillip, Elizabeth/Gregory; backstory/character study/spies and secret agents; teen; 3246 words

This story captures the emotional complexity of their situation and I love the Elizabeth POV. Just what I was looking for.

Bonus rec, something more lighthearted (and completely unrelated to the above in spite of the title):
