The concept for the Loopdile fic I'm writing was initially just "Loop gets used as and subsequently warms up to being Odile's reading light as long as they have an excuse to be close to someone" but like uh
Now it's evolving into "Odile is on purpose not asking Loop any questions because she knows that they know that's weird for her, in the interest of getting them antsy and impatient enough to spit out a single honest fact about themselves instead of lying and redirecting like they do when anyone else asks them questions" and also "Odile notices that Loop is touch-starved in the same way Siffrin is and manufactures situations for Loop to be close to her if they so desire because they're clearly not going to ask anyone on their own and she's already invested in her hands-off approach and wants to keep close by to see if it works" and finally "Loop is losing their MIND about this actually"
