#Me but with space friends who want to journey into the unknown

the soft hum feels somewhat misplaced. there it is as a gentle thing, stark contrast from what lay ahead and beyond. a test, a game, a means to measure. sulu’s breath is deep, and feet move forward are carefree as they would against the tide and upon a shore. rare are the opportunities to not hold back, to test mettle against those who know the language of war in sweeping motions, violent arcs, curled fists and pointed lunges.

it starts off at first with small hops, spring in step and balance at the balls of feet. a stretch and set, quick punches in succession. playful. urging for his opponent to move forward and meet him on the coloured surface. a gesture urges her to come on, move forward.

“ let’s go. ”

HE STANDS, A STATUESQUE SHADOW LOOMING OVER HER BED ― as if to dare her head to turn and eyes to settle upon remorse. he had grieved, searched…had done the things valentine declared undone – impossible… lips purse , an attempt to keep heart from wavering – from leaning towards a reality valentine had not ensured. they abandoned you, she can hear his voice echo throughout the empty and twisting halls of her mind, adorned with the portraits of those who had betrayed you – or, so he had said…

with doubt now planted in her mind, she cannot resist the draw to ominous shadow, fading away as steps lead him away from her bed and to the irritating gadget singing to the rhythm of her own heartbeat, monotone and blaring. gaze settles upon the man she had once called a friend mentor, wondering what truth lays beneath his words. ‘ – what do you want to know? ’

“ what happened, the last you were a kingsman agent? ” beginnings. it’s a question that requires answer, not only for this interrogation and investigation, but for what had been sought all those years ago. to merlin, this was no mystery to be solved, rather a mistake that he was to learn from. an error in judgement and a failure on his behalf. the watcher’s gaze had turned, his eyes gone blind, and an agent gone in more ways than one. “ your last mission. your received orders. your partners. those who sought to have you eliminated? ”

he sits nearby, their gaze far more level now. he waits, patiently so and looks for what may betray her - what may come should there be lies ( the rapid blink of eyes, the slight variation in one’s breathe, the purpose in the weight of words and story woven - though she was an agent trained and a master made, still he would observe ). trust is lacking between them, and there is the fainted desire there to release her from what guards. but merlin knows of a softened heart and a killer’s blade.

merlin knows that in the moment of opportunity where there would be only one victorious, it would not be him.

how easy it would have been to pull back / to remove himself from the flash of heat lingering at the place where jim’s hand had brushed against his own. his expression softens for a moment ; warmed by the promise that bloomed like a flower ( love, burns warmer than it has ever done. ) it’s like the burn of liquor in his stomach. just enough to remind him of the humanity captured between metal walls and the threatening presence of space outside their windows. there is humanity to be found in the presence of jim. and he is glad to bask in it once it’s offered to him.

the memory of a broken and bruised man lingers in the back of his mind as he huffs at the sight of jim pouring with a sense of carefulness which feels foreign to the man. james t kirk is nothing if not recklessness / a supernova captured in the body of a man. skin too tight to contain it’s power maybe this is why he bleeds so often ; no, leonard knows better. it’s because he’s nothing but a bloody idiot. but if the captain is an idiot, he would be glad to call him his idiot regardless.

it’s a game of chess, two moves forwards, one move backwards. a dance of the minds and fuck if spock wouldn’t be proud of that synonym. he reaches for the poured glass and wishes that his opponent was close enough to warrant a stolen brush of fingertips. fucking whisky… it made him act like a lovesick fool. ❝ don’t bloody test me, man, ❞ he knows his words are hollow. he knows that he would do anything in his power to keep the other man safe.

glass meets lips. liquid meets courage and the buzz inside his mind meets blue eyes ( fuck why are they so goddamn blue ? ) ❝ it’s your luck that i’m a doctor and under oath. ❞

it’s something forged beyond paper and an oath that’s carved in one’s heart. it’s a faith that’s blind - the leap that led them both here ( in some sense at least, not quite sat there by a bar with liquid shared, but by ship, by place, by home ). comfort, something warmer than the gentle burn of liquid and the courage chased, sweeter than the caramel, oak and barrel taste of bourbon fine that’s shared. jim manages to fight the sigh and softness in a smile - instead, it’s something sharp - forever teasing.

poke and prod and the doctor reacts ( pleasantly so, actions yield no regret ).

“ hey, ” the captain begins defensively, glass raised - ice clinks against it’s crystal, and free hand lifted, palm faced forward towards mccoy. “ i’m keeping my crew sharp. ” he argues, feigned innocence paired falsely with the air of professional purpose ( a bad lie, he knows it ). but expression is quick to drop, and admission slips. it’s trouble, laced in a subtle suggestion the flirt is fleeing. “ can’t help if i’m enjoying it, just a bit. ”

small victory there to in the curve of lips. “ i’ll take that as a win. ”

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 ’𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐔𝐆 𝐎𝐅 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐓 beneath her breastbone, and roxy tucks her bottom lip beneath her front teeth. she reads the affection behind the gleam of merlin’s frames, the politeness he willingly gives. but still, the intrinsic feeling of being a woman in a predominantly men’s space & the distant twinge of not belonging that roxy still has to quell at times ( less and less these days as she excels, proves that she’s the 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐋 ) flits briefly across her mind.

❛ thank you, merlin. i won’t stay long –– i know you have lots to do. ❜ she settles into the plush of the sofa, a low whistle and the flick of her index finger summoning athena to her heel.

trained precision melts away and roxy lets her spine curve into the rare treat of non - barracks seating supporting her, lets the scent of tea steeping cleanse the remnants of irritation from her being. ❛ boys will be boys, and other nonsense like that. digby’s upset i beat him sparring yesterday and made a stunningly tone - deaf quip about me playing nurse for him; something about how i should heal what i deal…? ❜ roxy’s fingers curl into the soft warmth of her dog, huffing out a breath.

❛ but honestly, i just needed to get out for a while. eggsy and charlie are especially at each other’s throats today, and i needed a break from defusing the constant landmines of conversation. ❜

for a moment, merlin looks to be unimpressed. there it is clear, he is one intolerant of belief embedded among some of the would-be agents. boys will be boys, a long grown excuse cut short - severed under his tutelage. the pause is long, his eyes shifting attention from her for a moment before the small curve of lips. his gaze falls to his table, pen in hand, the silence is filled with the scratch of pen on paper. “ i’ll be sure to talk to digby about his lack of expertise in immediate medical attention. ”

new tests and trials are a fleeting thought, not meant to teach those selected on the meaning of their knighthood, but also as a gentle form of disciplinary action. but he tucks those ideas away for now. another time, at another date. for now, he raises pot and collects a tea set and wanders to sit on the other side of the sofa.

“with regard to eggsy and charlie, that’s another matter entirely.”

unsurprising, but still, there is the subtlety of exhaustion in the drawn breath and soft sigh. getting along was never easy.

the tea is poured, and merlin offers her a cup.

new writing tip: stop using those frivolous synonyms for colours and start using HTML colour codes

for example:

❌ "she held his gaze with unblinking azure eyes"

✔ "she held his gaze with unblinking eyes of #008ad7"

this way you can be precise and avoid ambiguity

hiippocrates:

a thick brow rises, eyes sliding from her notes to the image of her face peeking over the edge like a fierce horizon. curiosity can be a dangerous thing, especially out here in the endless darkness he’d still wonder why he dragged himself into if not for the acrid nothingness he’d left behind. Leonard feels his mouth screw into a hook of distaste. not in Carol. or even her work for that matter. but he knows a bad feeling when he hears. hell, he sees it clear as day. ‘ what d’you mean they’re weaponizing genesis? ’ sharply, Leonard skims through the padd in his hands. all there is reads at regrowth and new life and developing energy, ‘ i thought this was supposed t’be a good thing? ’

rare are the moments when one finds themselves in the presence of carol’s anger. it is a quiet thing, something that’s small at first - but there are the tremors that then come, a fire in eyes as her hands curl. jaw clenches. her lips are pressed tight. she swallows before there is a breath.

it’s not something she likes to show. so, body remains turned. her eyes remain focused.

“ they’re using my bloody work for their own gain. ” she says. “ it’s meant to be. everything is --- ” she can feel the rise of anger once again, electric surge and static charge. “ what i’ve been working on is dangerous. and... the volatility of the earlier stages of the genesis cycle i suppose has caught the interests of those with... a different idea of what it should be used for. ”

disappointment, her own doubt settles in the pit of her stomach. “ some of starfleet’s energy systems and weaponry were derived from once developments to power cities and planets. it appears their... history isn’t enough of a reminder of what can happen. ”

bruising’s are both healed and hidden; a body littered tells of tales but hikaru is not one to divulge. he scratches at his cheek, lets out a laugh - a look like a cat caught with the cream. whilst a firm believer that he is no seeker for trouble, it generally finds its merry way in his direction. “ — you could say that.” operations often settle in the grey areas of ‘the less you know the better’, but he is not one to coddle.

“— more interesting than the paperwork. but paperwork at least gets me a coffee break. ”

paperwork sounds dull, and it makes his head hurt just thinking about staring at words as a job. (staring at words, in any capacity, is painful for him. he doesn’t know why, has since decided it’s because he’s stupid.) the moment passes, and he darts his eyes down to his feet, to his worn shoes. “ – i’m glad you’re back. “ and safe. “ glad you didn’t do anything stupid and get yourself killed. “ there, he saved himself from any potential display of unwanted emotion.

“ glad to be back, ” hikaru answers honestly, moving toward the boy. a breach of space, only light - as if there in that moment there would be the quick embrace. the smile is there as always, though here and now it’s genuine. “ thought about it for a second, decided against it. ” a brief pause. “ i’m looking to grab a bite to eat, want to join? ”

“I’m good at keeping to myself, these days.” Practiced in the art of taking up as little space as possible, Bethany ventures out only when necessary and interacts with neighbours only enough to not appear suspicious. For something too hidden can draw attention just as easily as a spectacle. Perhaps Anders can understand that; Bethany imagines that circle life too is a balance between staying out of the way of templars but not enough to look like you have something to hide. Then again, he has subverted her expectations of what circle mages are like in several ways.

She smiles as he makes himself comfortable, grasping for a subject to distract from the evidently gloomy matter of warden business. “–Oh!” A hint of pride beams. “I have gotten a little bit better at what you were trying to teach me. It’s like a different type of control, if that makes sense. And –” voice hushes a little, as if there were someone else other than an orange cat within the walls who could overhear, “Last night I think I somehow connected with one of the spirits who was helping me? It was – interesting.”

“Oh?” There is a shift, twist of body and a turn so that shoulders may prop upon the back of the chair and he may settle his chin to hands. It’s quick for him to change, what had once been a look of irritation, frustration, and the forming of a pout now gone - instead there he is with a grin that’s wide and eyes focused and bright.

Adoration, a sense of pride that’s shared. They are mages, and what they could wield was a gift. “Tell me everything.” Earnest and true, though he may not look it, there is a love that’s deep for what he knows and the skill that comes with the art of healing. “What were they like?”

spots to kiss. since y’all like kissing prompts—and who wouldn’t, honestly–so have a collection of places to press your lips to. many of these work perfectly fine for platonic or familiar affection while some are a bit steamier, though what counts as what is of course naturally dependent on the muses and the context. send ‘ SPOTS TO KISS + [number] ’ to kiss my muse there, or with # for dealer’s choice. context and description allowed and encouraged. feel free to use the last option ( 57 ) to give the kiss on any fantasy or scifi body parts not listed here.

a kiss on the top of the head.

a kiss to hair.

a kiss on the forehead.
