   Summary

   My life really isn’t too much different from how it was on Earth, if you ignore the alien planet thing. I teach, I go home, I eat dinner, I watch a movie or read a book, and I go to sleep. Rocky visits a few times a week and occasionally there’ll be data from the sun to analyze or a small issue with the biodome or the greenhouse that I need to help the team work through. I was perfectly fine with the routine on Earth, so it shouldn’t feel so… lonely, I guess.

   ~~

   guys please be nice to me i literally haven't written fanfic since i was in middle school and i'm almost 20 now. i forgot how to write fiction i'm basically relearning everything i had to look up how paragraph breaks work for dialogue it's infuriating. i just really like these characters and relate to them both so hard and i wanna see them be capable of loving and being loved so i can reassure myself that i can too.
