I am genuinely obsessed with this scene from “There, nestled against his pulse” 🙂↕️
The way I cried getting to hold this story in my hands.
Fanfic:
there, nestled against his pulse by @hiuythn on AO3 (personal copy printed with permission from author)
Read the fic HERE
Was it casual when you begged him to stay awake, named galaxies with him, and called him sweetheart, baby, and babe while you were both buried in rubble and there was a giant piece of metal stuck in his abdomen?
EHE-AHEM 🎙🎙🎙
there, nestled against his pulse/this is what love looks like by hiuythn
thanks for listening to my tedtalk everyone.
micdrop
can u... share more hcs.... pls
you know how in tiwlll lance was still getting used to the fact that he was allowed to think/say gay things about keith?
or like flirt seriously with him
well now with the link, every time lance sees keith do sth stupitt or cute, his gay thoughts are blasted in surround sound for keith to hear
can u imagine just going about your day and suddenly, this overwhelming sense of pure, unadulterated adoration gets directed at you? like for no reason? like someone just loves you bc you exist?? like can u believe??
the first time that happens, keith just starts crying what the fuck
(you know that love-starved boy would)
keith’s like doing sth at his station on the bridge, his hair’s too long and it gets in the way of his screens and he’s like periodically huffing and puffing at his fringe and then it gets so annoying that he pulls at it and threatens to cut it with his knife. like he’s just talking to himself
and at his own station, lance witnesses that and it’s just so--fuckign adorable oh my god holy FUCK keith can you not???? be so lovable?? fuck??? and his entire chest aches and he’s smiling unwillingly and his hands fist, nails biting into his skin because he just wants so badly to walk over there and pick keith up in a huuuuge hug and spin him around and crush him to his chest and cry over him or sth equally dramatic
and alllll that gets beamed over into keith’s head in real time
and keith just fckn. bursts into silent tears
HE FEELS LOVED OKAY
like it’s so warm and good in a way he’s been unable to feel before, like it’s strange it’s foreign but it feels like he’s been waiting for this forever, like he’s just now realizing he’s been missing a sixth sense or sth, and it’s almost too much like something expanding in his ribs and keith’s breathless he’s curling in his seat just gasping
cuz it’s one thing to be aware that people love you, like when they say it to you, ofc you believe them
but it’s a whole ‘nother thing when you have a mindlink that cannot lie, that shows you so vividly how much they love you
anyway that was the day everyone freaked out because keith kogane started crying on the bridge for no reason. they thought he was dying or sth
lance gets scolded by the others for surprising keith like that and worrying people and he’s like WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO??? NOT FEEL LOVE FOR HIM??? WAS I SUPPOSED TO HOLD IT BACK??? THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE
and oh there goes keith’s tears again. dammit lance
Anyway..... @hiuythn own my ass. this scene is so fucking CUTE. so good, so in-character. i think i’m crying. FUCKINGWNWJWNSK i feel things
Sometimes it feels a bit redundant to keep bringing up the same fics over and over, but these lines are so fricking iconic. @bitterbeetle 's Foreign Scenes was my first Klance fanfic, and I'm not gonna lie, I reread portions of it everyday and I always have a tab open to it on my phone. It was the fic that made me realize that I could be more than just a casual observer of fanon, of fanfic and hcs, that I could be a part of the fandom, and w/o them, I don't think I would've loved this community (or even Klance) as deeply as I do. @hiuythn 's there, nestled against his pulse was my second fanfic, and wow, can you imagine the angst it brought me. I love this fic so much, and it brought me to tears so many times. Then, ofc, we have @dimplesandcurlsss HDBAH. Who doesn't know this fic, or the Providence speech. This fic has my heart, and I constantly recommend this story to people, even if they aren't familiar with VLD (Yall should also check out her other stories, especially Follow My Lead). Now, I've suggested fics to yall before, and all of them I love equally. But these three, they represent the points at which I fell further and further in love with the fandom, where I began to envision myself talking to other fans and writing my own fanfic and finding characters who I could see myself in. They are special in that they brought me into the Klance fandom. Now, as for @apvrrish 's fit the crown to my head, I've yet to read it. I've been recommended it countless of times, but I'm saving it for a time when I'm feeling especially low, and I need something to pick me up. Irrespective of that fact, these authors are some of my biggest inspirations, and I love them so much that I'm honest to god tearing up typing this. But please, please, support their work. Whether that's reading their stories for the first time, rereading it, leaving comments and Kudos, or recommending their fics, please. Les amo con todo mi corazón.
Just finished reading there, nestled against his pulse in one sitting instead of studying for my finals (I hate myself) and holy fucking shit. This is the kind of fics I love. I must make a note to myself and post a comment later because this was just so beautiful.
