I’ve gotten really fond of space au since I started thinking of stuff for it... mostly bc of the unlikely matchup of Idra and Titus, two ocs that have never had anything to do with each other previously. it isn’t a romantic or friendly dynamic. nor is it severely negative, as Titus is affably evil and uninterested in hurting his hostage/helper unless it is a complete necessity. they’re just two beings trying to reach an understanding while achieving a (begrudgingly, on Idra’s part) shared goal.
one of the big things Idra deals with is Titus’ lack of emotional depth and how that affects his interactions with others. and through their shared time together, he genuinely grows to be more human.... instead of simply playing at it.
