#ailin x ashley

I keep wanting to title this something like “Date night on omega” or whatever, but in reality it’s more like “Lin makes sure Ashley’s drunk ass gets back to the Normandy after the war finally drives her to drink.” May or may not end up as an actual scene in Much Ado About Everything (chapter two of which IS coming, istg.)

Disaster Lesbian strikes again!

Also known as Chapter Three of Much Ado About Everything is finally up. XD The Shepley content is on main as Ailin has a no good terrible bad day. Link in the source since you know tumblr.

Excerpt:

For the second time since their reunion, the other woman met her eyes and didn't look away. Somehow, Ailin expected it to feel as tense at it had back on Mars when Ashley had been trying to goad her into a fight. 

But it didn't. Instead, there seemed to be a sort of... sadness in Ashley's deep, dark eyes. The sort of sadness that choked Ailin's own throat; that made her long to close the distance between them, and put her arms around the other woman as though nothing had ever come between them.

Her gaze drifted a little lower, taking in the plump curve of Ashley's lips, and the way her chestnut hair framed her perfect face.  No, Ailin didn't just want to hug her. She wanted to kiss those lips until they smiled again. She wanted to caress the tiny birthmark that graced Ashley's cheek; to run her hands into that hair; to hold Ashley tight and safe, until all the danger in the universe had passed them by.

It wasn't fair. After all this time--after everything that had passed between them--that Ailin still had to feel like this when all Ashley wanted to do was be free of her.

She should just let Ashley leave. They still had Vega; he was a heavy hitter. He wasn't of Ashley's caliber, sure, but they could make do. They had before. Ailin should simply wish Ashley well, sign the fucking paperwork, and let the other woman walk away like she clearly wanted to. This wasn't fair to either of them.

What she said was: "Can we talk?"
