Recovery: Post-Battle at the Binary Stars AU with Philippa recovering on earth while Michael is back on the Shenzhou.
~
'And write me every day,' Michael had asked Philippa to promise before they had parted ways. 'We will not always be in range to call, but-'
'I know,' Philippa had said, smiling as she bumped one of her crutches against Michael's uniformed leg. 'I will write, and send pictures as well so you won't worry as much.'
Michael had frowned then, had said that she knew there was nothing to be concerned about, but now, lightyears apart from her beloved, she can't help but worry. She knows Philippa is recovering, but being unable to be there by her side... It is making her feel uneasy, at edge.
Her personal communicator pings, and, currently not busy with anything urgent, Michael pulls it out to see a message from Philippa:
'They're not letting me do much here, so I am out of danger, don't worry. I had my physical therapist take a picture'
Michael smiles, then quickly puts back her communicator before anyone can catch her at it. Philippa knows that she is working and will see that she read the message, she can answer it later.
When Michael goes back to her communicator after her shift, there's a new picture and a message for her:
'Maybe it is good for me to feel real air again. But I do miss you.'
There's an audio file attached, and Michael can't help the soft smile showing on her lips. How did Philippa guess that she had been missing her voice?
'Thank you for the pictures. You are beautiful as always, and I am glad that you are doing alright. Listening to your audiofile now- love, Michael'
She types and hits send before clicking play on the audio.
"Hello, Michael..."
The smile is audible in Philippa's voice, and Michael has to close her eyes for a moment to stop herself from crying before she settles in on her bed to listen to Philippa tell her about her day.

It's rly hard to make continuing storylines because there are just not so many fitting pictures of these two xD so I guess I'm back to seperate little photo stories. So far, all the one-shots fit into the same storyline, though!
