“I walked away from you in Sydney because I thought you’d been given a chance at a fresh start. I thought it would be best if I didn’t put a target on your back by being in your life,” Carmen explained with a regretful look on her face. She glanced away, watching the people walking by the cafe terrace. “And yet, you end up back in a life of crime anyway.”

“Old habits die hard,” Graham told her.

Read it on AO3 Relationship: Keith/Lance Rating: Explicit Summary: Keith finds out a very important skill that Lance has: that he can hold his breath for a long time. He adds it to the list of reasons he’s pining after Lance—his right hand man, his teammate, his friend. See also: sad desert boy falls hopelessly in love with self-proclaimed mermaid boy with a heart of gold. Watch these two oblivious idiots find their home in each other. Excerpt: If Lance was really in trouble, he would have used his bayard to free himself, or Keith would have seen a disturbance in the water from him thrashing or— Lance burst through the surface of the water.He was sucking in lungful after lungful of air, floating on his back, and Keith felt like each breath Lance took was another one he was stealing from Keith. Keith made a pathetic, nearly hysterical sound, and swam messily towards Lance. He wrapped his arms tightly around Lance’s neck and muttered into the wet skin of his cheek, lips sliding with each word. “Keith, what—” Lance’s body bobbed in the water when Keith’s weight on his body counteracted his effortless floating. “Jesus Christ, Lance, I thought you were dead—I didn’t know where you went, you were right by my side when I had to go up for air—why did you move—” Keith babbled incoherently. Lance’s arms had come around his waist immediately, squeezing Keith before gently nudging him back. “Whoa, whoa, dude—slow down,” Lance said gently, still slightly breathless. He shifted so that he could pull Keith closer, one hand coming up to cradle the back of Keith’s head, stroking his wet hair comfortingly. “Sorry, I was fine. I was trying to swim around to check for Galra from the other side of the pond, but on the way back my ankle got caught in the weeds.”

Hello! #23 and #25 for the writing ask meme :D ♥

#23 - feelings on epistolary fic?Pretty neutral, I guess? Hmm, I’ve never written full epistolary fic before. I don’t really actively seek it out, but have thoroughly enjoyed a bunch that I’ve read! #25 - if you outline, do you edit it frequently?I do edit my outline a lot! I’m a forgetful person if I don’t keep my notes handy, so if I’m letting my fic evolve as I’m writing it I’ll go into my outline and notes and tweak it or add notes for the new things, take out stuff if I’ve decided not to use it, etc. The one I’ve edited the most was my monster of a fic, Changing Tides, because of the timeline spanning across several years (1995-2003) and the different parts of the plot or character development that changed all the way up until I finished the last scene. I was moving scenes around, combining them, cutting them, adding new scenes throughout the entire writing process. I have a feeling my outline for my HDBB fic is also going to evolve a lot throughout the process, and I haven’t even finished writing the outline yet haha!fic writer ask meme, come ask me things about stuff
