A small breeze is what finally wakes him from the dreams he’d been happily curled up in for the night. Shivers running along his back and arms until he’s rolling over to find some more warmth only for it to be unfairly lacking. It’s somewhat of a chore opening his eyes and suppressing a groan at having to return to day once again. “’S cold.“ Is all he manages to mumble out as small orbs of light already start appearing to make the form of the other more easy to pick out in the early morning light.

[ almost ] sender and receiver are centimeters apart, about to kiss, but something interrupts them.

they've been lowkey flirting all night, dancing near each other, eyes meeting occasionally across the dance floor. lee has had enough to drink that he feels a little bolder than he usually would, his hand catching the other man's as he passes by, pulling him in close. the music is thrumming heavily in his ears, and there's no chance of a conversation, so all lee can think to do is lean in. their noses touch, a brief glancing of one against the other, and —

an arm swings tightly around lee's shoulders, pulling him away from the stranger and the almost kiss, drunken friends trying to bring him back over to where the party is. he glances back over his shoulder, full of want and unfulfilled potential, and silently promises to himself that he will have his kiss. // @pirkstein

@demisereborn liked for a starter from an oc.

with his brother being the workaholic that he is, lee finds that he has a lot of time to himself during his month-long vacation. that time is mostly spent exploring california, and though he should probably be upset or annoyed that his brother is choosing to languish away in his office, lee is choosing to see it as an opportunity instead.

one weekend, on a whim, he hops on a bus to los angeles. artemis has started a project, meaning he'll be basically uncontactable for a full seventy-two hours, so lee figures that there's no harm in doing so. and he's never been to los angeles before. hell, this is the first time he's been to california, let alone actually travelled around like a tourist.

by the time he gets off of the bus, he's ridiculously tired and in need of some caffeine. he'd barely managed to get any sleep, thanks to the nightmare passengers that he'd been sharing the bus with. so, in what might be an incredibly terrible move, he stops the first person that he sees. ‘ excuse me? hi, where's the best place to get coffee? ’

if anyone had told him that his trip to new york would involve being part of an active police investigation, then he probably wouldn't have bothered flying out. but as it turns out, there had been a body found in his hotel, which had meant that everyone staying in the building had needed to be kept for questioning, himself included.

the cup of coffee that his hands are curled around is lukewarm by this point, but he sips from it anyway in an effort to give himself a little bit of a caffeine boost. ‘ i'm sorry i can't be more help, but i didn't see anything. i was out all night, i didn't get back until late. ’ on a bad date, no less. he should delete grindr too, but he won't.

 “And that’s all folks! I’ll be back next week. So save up your money for then!” One last smile and he’s swiping up his bag from the floor, trying to control the wisps of golden happiness around his fingers at the sound of all the coins now happily at home in there. It’s not the easiest to worm his way through crowds of excited kids and curious adults begging to know how it’s done but Leander is getting better at it. He thinks. Feels better when he pushes himself into a secluded alleyway and finally relaxes against the wall, not paying attention to the little light that forms just above him as he starts to count the day's earnings.

Leander: You can even leave the Armada, we both can. I know people in the Celestial Council, I can... As I was writing the Zane/Leander breakup memory, I realized that the personality I had in mind for him was pretty much exactly like what I imagine for star elves. So, now that's what he is. I think it gives some dimension to things. Most notably, the way Zane is part of Xur's stone/star issues. The way Zane is the reason Xur was eventually able to stop trying to be a star elf. When Zane encouraged Xur not to try so hard to be a star elf, it wasn't just that he didn't want Xur to have to keep up the futile chase for his father's approval. It was because he knew firsthand that star elves suck. Plus, it's already made the Celestial Council more of a thing. (Stone elves have some cultural identity other than the Realm's. So do star elves.) I haven't been able to think of a dark-haired male elf I like for Leander (Elrond? No. Nimoy's Spock? No. Quinto's Spock? No.), but he doesn't feel like the type who needs a PB. Not unless he becomes more of a thing. (Also: Ignore the name he had in the Super Long Meme. All of the names for Zane's exes suck. Leander, Indominus, Agni. Not... those things.)

This is why we can't have nice things.
