the air stilled, scented rich with magic. floorboards hard at your back, you shifted up onto your elbows. the ridges dug into your skin as you instantly looked to your side.

Jayce coughed. you snorted. his hair was frazzled, his chest rising and falling slowly as he laid strewn like all of your papers—without a care in the world. if he didn't look like he'd faceplanted a sack of coal you would've believed it was a fair comparison.

dragging your safety goggles over your forehead rife with soot, you discarded them atop his stomach. or you aimed to. being knocked onto your ass clearly messed with your coordination as you accidentally clipped his chin with the buckle. he whined dramatically.

"sorry! that wasn't—"

"beating me while I'm down? what did I do to deserve this!"

you rolled your eyes amusedly. "my bad, Talis. thought you wanting your name plastered all over the research notes meant this was your experiment."

he groaned, head turning away from you.

"seems like you got proportional comeuppance, though."

"what's that supposed to mean?"

you giggled quietly, refraining from giving an answer.

your cloudy eyes waltzed across from him to the explosion of dust and soot that painted his side of the lab. what was left of his desk smoked and crackled with cerulean static. following the crux where the contraption had sat mere moments before, you found runes burnt into the flagstone and wood.

"well, there's some good news for us." you slumped back onto the floor beside him.

"really?" his smile was as bright as it always was, gap-toothed and endearing despite everything.

"the sun rune was definitely activated when that spell happened."

"brilliant! see?" he rapped his knuckles against the ground victoriously. "I told you breakthroughs can come from anywhere! they can take multitudes of forms, even the roughest of experiments can yield results...!"

he was so damn smug when he was right. you wanted to wipe his smirk off his lips, but all you would've gotten was more soot on you. at first it would be on your thumb, but it wouldn't take long for it to be on your lips instead.

"Jayce, it's burnt into the floor."

he was quiet for a moment. his gaze was intently on you, in fact it had barely left since you'd laid back down. you avoided the eye contact. soot tasted unpleasant. even if he was cute, was it truly worth it?

"I'm so glad I get to work with you."

your face crumpled. not even the slightest hint of sarcasm, or ingenuity. he always meant what he said, wholeheartedly.

you pouted at him, acceding. your hand found his discarded on the ground, burnt gloves making tough work of intertwining your fingers but you didn't care. "shush. you're making me sound mean."

"you're just practical. realistic. two entries on an endless list of things I love about you." as you broke his gaze, coming to stare back up at the ceiling with a scoff, he squeezed your hand.

and then you felt him shuffle clumsily closer. before you could snicker and call him a dork, his voice softened in your ear, "it's what makes you a brilliant inventor. and it also means if I do dumb things with you, you have to back me up, otherwise you look dumb, too."

you pursed your lips, playfully struggling to hold a smile back. "you're such a—"

"gorgeous, clever, profoundly amazing and loving boyfriend?" he propped himself up on one elbow effortlessly. "I know, honey, I know."

your head whipped to him in shock, a laugh falling from your open lips. you quipped, "an egotist!"

he simply shrugged, oozing confidence and swagger as if he didn't look like a cartoon struck by lightning. oh right, he didn't know.

the fork in the road settled before you. you could win this battle: snark him right back, and out of the corny consequence of his own miscalculations. or you could lose on purpose.

"you still love me either way, don't y—oh!"

pulling by his untucked tie you yanked him down on top of you, melding your lips to his. you could feel his smile twitch into your kiss as he melted like butter in an instant. freeing your hand from your glove, your callused hand traced along his hot cheeks to the nape of his neck until it settled on his jaw. he tilted into your palm, humming happily. putty in your hands, as always.

you ignored the dry taste of soot, and the traces of it gathering on your clean fingertips. it was without a second thought; he was undoubtedly worth it.

Genshin never Got me w their gods/archons cuz it was like. Oh they are these powerful beings so mysterious n then you look over and its Some Guy. But honkai star rails aeons fucking GOT me like

Theyte just. Exactly what i love in divine, godly beings. They are almost incorporeal, so far above humanity and the mundane. The aeons are just so unimagineable they are in a whole other reality than regular mortals. And thats FUCKING AWESOME. like the amount of unknown round them and what they are and their Paths, how they can absorb one another, how they are the physical manifestations of Concepts and Ideas. Just. FUCK theyre so good. Eldritch/cosmic horror done so well

Okay uhhh 16, 27, and 29 for the fic writer asks!

Hello and sorry I missed this!!! 💙 (for this fic writer ask game)

16. favorite place to write

I mostly write in bed. I've been saying I shouldn't for years because it's obviously bad for my back but I got a massage for the first time and my therapist was like 🤨 I think you need to go see a physio because there's something up with your spine. Anyway I haven't done that and I am reclining in bed as we speak. No one ever claimed I was smart, okay?

27. your favorite part of the writing process

What's that quote about how every part of writing is the worst thing ever, worse than everything except not writing? That, mostly!

But I do like the beginning stages of writing. When I'm seized by an idea and the story and dialogue are flowing through me and I have to type as quickly as possible to get all the words out, you know? That's how I end up with disjointed nonsense drafts but once I force myself to beat them into a recognizable shape the stuff written during the mania is always my best work!

29. how easy is it for you to come up with titles?

Usually pretty easy! They're almost always quotes from something or just recognizable phrases. It's probably harder for people who have really good titles 🤔 I don't think mine are anything spectacular or anything particularly horrible but they do the job. I will say, I picked à la carte immediately and I might have chosen something else if I'd taken a minute to remember that lots of languages don't actually use accents and that I was setting myself up for madness.

BROOOOOOOO WE’RE BACK

I spent so long with low self esteem that I love hyping myself up now. That post about hyping up your lame ass boyfriend like “here comes the specialist boy in the universe and if everybody doesn’t clap for him I’ll blow up the building” that’s literally me about me. I am my own lame ass boyfriend

[transfemgeorgecostanza]

Im always fascinated by Pride tourism. I’m not judging it morally but like. Why is that so exciting that some people will travel for hours, spend hundreds of bucks on overpriced hotel rooms just for like. A party. Is it really that much fun?

I've kinda made my peace with being non-op/non-medical when it comes to my transition?? And at the same rate made my peace with the fact that I'm like.. never going to be someone who passes day-to-day as male or even as gnc. To most people I'm going to be a She and in most environments I'm still going to be called Raven and it's just kinda whatever. I've never been big on the idea of officially Coming Out, it's just something that makes me too anxious and being totally out both personally and professionally is never going to be feasible, so at least in the near future I'm probably not going to Come Out in any meaningful way. At this point all of my public social media reads with both Raven and Quentin as my name and features he/she/they pronouns where optional (even though She is more of a compromise) and if people want to actually acknowledge that I'm not going to stop them. And if they don't then that's not something they need to be a part of anyway

It's just like!! I'm not hiding it anymore but I just don't care enough to worry about making anyone else care either
