How about 4, 11 and 14 for Passing Orbits? :D
4: What's your favorite line of dialogue?
Ah, I’m cheating, and I’m going to do a compare/contrast of two people, both talking about Bodhi and Luke hooking up:
First, Luke: “And, well, he seemed to like the idea. We had...ah, what’s the ‘public broadcasting’ way of putting it,” Luke grinned, “we had a lovely evening together.”
Then, Jyn: “Bodhi fucked the golden boy astronaut who stole his pilot slot.”
The difference makes me giggle.
11: What do you like best about this fic?
You know, looking back on it, I’m really proud of how I managed to track two different narratives at once (the flashbacks and the fic) without it feeling too choppy, and in just over 2k.
And...I don’t know, this fic is like a warm hug for me. It didn’t fight me too much on the writing, I got to bring out my inner space nerd, and I just...like it. *pats the fic*
14: Is there anything you wanted readers to learn from reading this fic?
Oh...hm. That I am a huge space nerd who could probably write a bajillion more astronaut AUs?
Actually, no, in seriousness, Bodhi’s life in this one doesn’t turn out the way he expects it to. He had a dream, he chased it...and it didn’t work out. But, by the time the fic starts, he’s still happy. I know my life doesn’t look the way I expected it to at this point. It’s easy to see that as a failure. But if I do that I miss my present joy. We can try...fail...and still be just fine. If there’s anything profound I hope people take away, it’s that.
