Favorite line of narration from "in this life"??? I love that story and i like to reread it every once in a while ;)
wow thank u!! its my favorite fic to date im so glad u like it <3
i have a lot of favorite excerpts but if i have to narrow it down to just one LINE i think it would be this one:
Kaldur has spent a long while denying himself of the things he wants most, and perhaps that is what causes him to freeze completely against Roy’s chest.
also while we’re here i may as well share my favorite dialog:
“…jeez, Kal,” Roy says. After a moment he leans forward on his knees, biceps tightening as he puts his chin on his fist. “You could, maybe, tell Aquaman that? Before he brings down the fucking government to figure out what upset you?”
“He wouldn’t,” Kaldur says tiredly.
“He could. Wouldn’t put it past him. He’s responsible for you and all that, he takes it very seriously.”
Kaldur gives him a look that’s just downright confused. “What do you mean?”
Waving his hand, Roy says, “Ollie says he’s pretty damn proud of you. Like, if he had a wallet, it would be filled with pictures of you kind of proud.”
There’s no intelligent comment that comes to Kaldur’s brain, so he just blinks at Roy like he’s grown as a second head.
“It’s a joke. I mean, not really, because I’m about ninety percent sure he actually has it, but it’s just making fun of something really involved dads do.”
“King Orin isn’t my father,” he says after several moments of silence.
“No kidding.”
“Then why would he–”
