When Gavrill Vorobyev, a single father of three, is offered a chance to reunite with his children after ten years, he takes it. The catch? He must now live a double life as Agent HROTHGAR, a mercenary for the secret organisation Helvetia that's dedicated to tracking down cosmic horrors beyond this world.
Through betrayal and deceit, heartbreak and loss, Gavrill must be the best father he can be to 19-year-old Hrodwyn, 16-year-old Merethel, and 12-year-old Hygd. But the more he learns about Helvetia's secrets, the more the line between family and work blurs. And when his past, present, and future begin to haunt his family, it may take more than his life and sanity to keep them safe.

SPARROW FLIGHT is based on an investigative cosmic horror TTRPG campaign where Gavrill is my player character. The campaign, Armageddon, was ideated by TheRoyalZealot but is written and ran by Mint using the Delta Green system. It started in 23 February 2024 and is still ongoing. SPARROW FLIGHT also features other people's characters and writing, which are all credited on stories they appear in and on the Characters page.
If you feel a sensitive topic was mishandled or if an additional content warning is needed, do not hesitate to contact me below. I aim to write from a place of empathy and respect, not of ignorance and glamour; my limited experience and knowledge only gives me more room to learn and grow.
About the Storyteller
Hey there! I'm known online as pawseds. I like telling stories about the little brainworms in my head I call my characters. I also have too many hobbies, some of which end up being the medium in which I tell my little brainworm stories. Thanks for checking out this passion project, and for taking the time to read all the way here! I hope you'll enjoy the Vorobyevs' story as much as I do.
You can see my other art and writing on my personal site (and subscribe to its newsletter while you're at it). You can contact me by email at reedfoxtrot@gmail.com or message me on Instagram, Bluesky, or Tumblr.
