The book Sergei is reading in S2E7
Have we noticed that the book Sergei is reading while packing up in his office to return to the Soviet Union is Henry Miller's The Tropic of Cancer? A book so sexually explicit that it was actually banned in multiple countries. No wonder he quickly hides it under a pile of documents when Margo steps in to tell him about the O ring issue.
For All Mankind - 3x05 and 4x04
Remote in my darkened exile, the days dragged by so slowly, without grace, without inspiration, without life, without tears, without love. Then my spirit woke and you, you appeared again, like a transient vision, like pure beauty’s spirit.
I am SO Excited for this!

I need a new beat. Let's gooooooooo
Reminds me of New Girl's Jessica Day in the episode "Table 34", after she has kissed Nick:
"He just, like, grabbed me and he took me. He was a man and I was a woman, and it was firm but tender. Yea, I saw through space and time for a minute, but that's not the point."
I'd include other words like: devour, release, and vibrant desire in there somewhere, though.
I would like you to kiss me.
imma just going to spend WAY TOO MUCH time sighing and staring at that middle gif. 😭
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray; grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
For all Mankind 3x03 - All in
I made an extra version of the second gif, obscenely large and slow, as a treat. It's under the cut. Click on it. It takes a while to load, but it's worth it ;)
This illustration was inspired by For All Mankind, an Apple TV+ series which explores what might have happened if the space race had continued and where humanity would be now.

Oh, my God. That’s… beautiful. It really is. Identical on both sides.
Warning! Do not listen while operating heavy machinery! Just about knocked me out with that voice. Woof.
I'd like to propose an alternative soundtrack for FOR ALL MANKIND season three finale. 😁 (Although not QUITE the same vibe, this is so damn cool).
I don't remember this scene AT ALL, but by golly they clearly needed the time to eye-fuck each other a little. Why, show, why?!?!
"THANK YOU FOR COMING"
As if, Margo, he would stay away.
Thank you for coming. Oh. Of course.
Sergei + being a smug bastard (complimentary)
Sergei doesn't get a lot of screentime (but all that time with those shithead Stevens brothers?!), but we do get a few diamonds in that short time. Smug Sergei is a definite gem that I love.

Margo Madison vs the longest day of her life
FOR ALL MANKIND | 2.06 "Best Laid Plans"
Sergei Nikulov & Margo Madison For All Mankind 3.03 (2019-)
ugh, but, aaah
I don't really understand this webzone. But, as an old, I don't really want to fully engage with fandom other than to give people kudos. I do wish I could communicate with others how much I appreciate their artistry and competence in their contributions to fandom (specifically fiction), but I'm useless at the words.
So! If you end up here somehow, hello! And please excuse my hit-and-run type "interactions". I enjoy everything you do and am cheerleading your efforts!!
Work the Problem.
Why is she dancing alone?! Get moving! Work out your problems on the dance floor!
Same, fam. Same. 😩
Margo/Sergei + S4 routine
I was searching for this, lolz. I remember reading it before I watched For All Mankind and I was absolutely intrigued. This and all the wonderful gif sets got me to watch. So, kudos to all you fic writers who expound on characters and create such delicious explorations of character. ❤️
Sergei absently exchanged the blue marker for another colored marker from the tray, began shading in the sine wave. Orange. In lines like strands of hair. Margo’s hair. The memory of it soft through his fingers, of the scent of her hair, her skin, clean and warm, the sweet, strong smell of the brandy on her lips.
He moved to the negative half cycle, the white of the board again alternating through a fall of orange hair. He wondered when her hair had turned white. Did it happen slowly over the last eight years? Had the long, cold, lonely winters she wasn’t used to, hadn’t, couldn’t have prepared for, slowly leached the color from her hair, from her life? She was not meant for a cage, no matter how gilded.
Automatically, he filled in the last positive half cycle, the orange strands thinning and fading as his mind continued to wander and his pressure against the board slackened. Or had her hair turned white all at once in a shock? Was it upon learning of the bombing? Worry for her colleagues? Aleida? Did she blame herself? Was it something that happened after? Something they’d done to her? He froze. Lefortovo…
“Uh, Mr. Bezukhov?”
Slowly, he blinked, the whiteboard and the classroom refocusing around him.
“Mr. Bezukhov?”
Sergei turned, taking in the students behind their desks, their faces, some smirking, most disinterested, a few studious. Right. He had a class to teach. A life she’d paid for with her own. He owed it to her to live it. This thought had sustained him through the years, kept him moving forward, moving on. It didn’t matter that she was alive. It shouldn’t. It couldn’t.
“So, as you can see, the current is not always constant.”
Honestly trying not to lose my mind over Sergei's new last name. Bezukhov. As in Pierre Bezukhov who waited years and years to be reunited with his love and marry her? This Bezukhov?? Fuuuuuuck
For All Mankind | Sergei + looking at Margo
Piotr Adamczyk as Sergei Orestovich Nikulov Wrenn Schmidt as Margo Madison
I just wanna be cool like Margo. So, for your background listening. You know, for planning missions. To space.
Not quite her lane, but I'm working on it. I have in the past flirted with jazz, but dang it, I'm too easily influenced by my blorbos.
FOR ALL MANKIND | 3.03 ALL IN
I will not...
Be crushed by another love story.
😩😭
Aw, darn it. Thank you, Margo. Thank you, Sergei.
Also, thank You, Universe, for talented people who can fix canon so the tears are soothed by beautifully written alternative stories.
BTW, send me your fav Margo/Sergei fic! 🥹
I didn't recall that Adama had Reader's Digest Condensed Books in his quarters. Which makes me giggle quite a bit. I feel like the set designer did Adama dirty here. 🤣
I'm sure he could romance Laura with just about any book, but Reader's Digest Condensed Books? That would be a tough route for seduction.
