An Oasis in the Stars

Malex Secret Santa 2021 - this one is for @winged_fool (AKA Ariqa) for this year's @malexsanta

This fic got a little out of control, because I loved this prompt: Oasis AU (role reversal where humans crash land on the Oasis).

Captain Alex Manes, Dr Kyle Valenti and Dr Liz Ortecho are on a mission off the space station in search of planets capable of hosting human life. Nearly halfway through their journey, their ship, The Roswell, suffered a malfunction which caused them to fall into the atmosphere of a planet and make an emergency crash landing. Of all the things they had prepared to find on this mission, a cosmic extra-terrestrial connection wasn’t what any of them expected.

happy (very very) belated birthday, @winged-fool! i hope you had a blast on your day, and that you like this tiny drabble!

love language

The cold sheets wake Alex up when he turns around in his sleep, expecting to collide against the warmth that he associates with Michael. He cracks one eye open to check if the bathroom light is on.

It isn’t.

“What the hell?” he groans. He grabs his crutches to go to the den, where he knows Michael will be, buried in books. Alex nears him, drops a kiss on his curls and whispers, “I’ll go make coffee,” like it’s the most normal thing to do at three in the morning.

Maybe this is what love is all about, he thinks.
