Words in orbit ✨

Writing space trauma and feelings in 4K. Powered by caffeine, emotional damage, and the inability to let fictional men rest. Hi, I'm Dia [they/them], have fun while reading <3

[starsoupart]

how long can we stay like this?

[lightbroughtinbuckets]

i really wanna write an au where keith is nonverbal and has used ASL to communicate his entire life, which, although having its challenges, has never really been TOO much of an issue until he becomes a paladin and they rely on comms to communicate during mission. also the concept of the Red Lion understanding sign language is so cool to me ngl.

also Lance learning ASL for Keith would just be so sweet. He's only ever seen LSC (Cuban Sign Language) growing up, but he puts his all into learning ASL so that he can talk to Keith without Shiro interpreting, and later helps interpret when Shiro's missing during season 3.

I have to add as well that it would be so helpful if the paladins all knew sign language not just for stealth missions but also for communicating secretly in front of enemies.

anyways that's it, i desperately need more vld fics that incorporate sign language 🙏

Chapter 24 already?!

Updates have slowed down because apparently I cannot write, work, sleep, and emotionally implode over my own slow burn all at once. Shocking, I know. 😭

But the slow burn is burning.

I’m burning.

The AIR is burning. Send help.

Chapter 21 — Shared Silence

listen. I didn’t mean to write couch cuddles that emotionally wrecked me but here we are.

they’re lying there. breathing in sync. trust issues? still there. trauma? thriving. communication? a little. but the silence? mutual.

keith kogane physically cannot relax unless forced to by the power of gay yearning and one (1) emotionally repressed sharpshooter.

anyway. enjoy your serving of slow burn, hand tremors, and the softest mutual pining this side of the galaxy ✨

After Vlog.

Keith raised an eyebrow, deadpan. He signed, slow and deliberate: You said that when you failed with the cookies too. 

Pidge’s eyes flicked up once to clock Keith’s hands. Then she snickered into her mug, remembering the time Hunk almost broke his teeth. 

Lance choked on his coffee. “Did you just… did he just make a joke?”

Hunk burst out laughing, full-bellied and surprised. “Oh my God, he did!”

Shiro smiled quietly, the sound of laughter filling the observatory like a breath of clean air. “You’ve been holding out on us,” he said to Keith, voice warm with affection. The lines around his eyes got deeper. Happy. As if he thought: You’re here again. I missed that. 

Keith’s ears went pink. He shrugged, signing, small joke. Don’t get used to it.

“Too late,” Lance teased. “I’m engraving it on a plaque. Kogane, Keith jokester extraordinaire.”

Allura’s voice carried from the doorway before Keith could reply. “If you’re engraving anything, perhaps include the part where he voluntarily spoke to people beside you.” 

keith kogane: officially upgraded from “emotionally constipated” to “sarcastic menace.” the team is not ready.

(from chapter 21 — the one where he finally starts laughing again 🫶)
