    Summary

    The scars across his body mark a treasure map of mistakes. Tiny shrapnel scars and rosy-red roadrash, a lifetime of being thrown to the ground by Academy training and the real world. The ivory line tracing across his jaw, almost invisible. The tattoos and the traintracks, the pockmarked puncture wounds scattered like a horrifying constellation across his body.

    He’s so tired.

    [a klaus s1 character study]

    Summary

    When they drop out of the hurtling nightmare of the wormhole, everything blends into nausea and the scream of alarms, the stars smearing into concentric loops outside their Lions.

    Keith grits his teeth, hauling helplessly at controls that were already damaged even before they got thrown out of the hangar, across the universe and back into space again. Arms and shoulders straining, muttering constantly under his breath, he tries to get any real response from his Lion, but the connection’s been reduced to just a faint wavering spark, like a candle about to go out.

    Finally Shiro brings his own Lion around and physically stops Keith’s uncontrolled spin. His voice sputters in over the com. “This is no good. We’re gonna have to find someplace to set down.”

    Summary

    The truth is: what Keith wants or doesn’t want won’t bring Shiro back.

    The truth is: nothing can breathe in space.

    (Or: the story of how Keith and Shiro come together, come apart, and come together again.)

    Summary

    We are sitting in a secluded field, the sea lapping at the shore quietly in the distance, and now he reaches for me fully. His hands go to my head and drag me to his, though I go willingly; it is a long time since we had this sort of freedom, the hours to while away in slow, burning heat. This, and this, and this.

    Summary

    Adam contemplates Ronan's tattoo. Spoilers for The Raven King.

    He probably wouldn’t have imagined this would become normal to him: Ronan, head pillowed on his forearms, laying on his stomach in bed next to Adam.
