2- Stars

Technically this one was gonna be for a different fandom, but 80% of the way through I thought it didn't fit the theme well enough and relocated it. Despite it being a little more spur-of-the-moment, I'm still happy with how this one turned out!

Today's is a little fluffy date piece with Giovanna and Ramlethal. Please note that while I intend to make the usage of constellations as realistic as possible, with how hemispheres work and where different easy-to-see nebulae are located I ended up taking a bit of artistic liberties. A little ironic, since I've got a whole headcanon about Giovanna being autistic about space. Oh well...

-

“There. It’s riiiight…”

Ramlethal felt the hand around her wrist direct her finger westward until it was pointed at a cluster of spots.

“There. That’s the Carina Nebula. It’s one of the easier ones to see, so it’s a good spot to start with.”

If she squinted into the night sky, she could swear there was a tiny hint of red between the whitish dots. “That’s it up there? Wow…”

“Pretty view, huh? Told ya that Illyria’s got too many lights to see the really good stuff.”

Of course, Ram was half-sure that part of the reason she’d been invited to a scenic hilltop at night was as a dramatic romantic gesture, but Giovanna wasn’t wrong in that regard, either. She hadn’t been aware of the sheer amount of color that was visible in the night sky.

“So what’s in it?”

“‘What’s in it?’ Geez, Ram, what isn’t in it?” An elbow playfully nudged her in the side. “It’s got a whole bunch of open clusters, it’s got the most luminous star in the Milky Way, and it’s got these things called Wolf-Rayet stars in ‘em, so that probably speaks for itself why I like looking at it.”

Ram laughed, and Rei perked up, unsure if the mention of wolves involved her or not. She lowered her head again with a huff, and Giovanna scratched her between the ears. She ducked back under the legs of her telescope, delicately twisting the knobs and slightly moving the position. “I’m gonna scoot over a little, there’s another one that looks really good through the scope.”

While her girlfriend worked, Ram looked back up at the sky. She had already lost track of where she’d been directed to before, but any part of the sky was nice. After a few casual outings, she knew enough to spot a few patterns. The summer triangle, Aquila and Cygnus branched off from it, Sagittarius. She still wasn’t quite sure that they looked like swans and people and snakes and horse-men, but it was easy to get swept up in Giovanna’s excitement when she showed them all off.

“I know they’re big,” Ram said. “I know they only look so small because they’re so far away. But it still feels like I could pluck a few out with my fingers and hand them to you.”

“Heh! Well, then we’d have a biiiig problem, because now there’s a giant ball of plasma burning everything.”

“I’d do it anyway. If you asked me to.” She replied, only for her face to scrunch as she broke out into more laughter. “I’m sorry, that was very corny.”

“Very. But I like corny. Speaking of…”

Giovanna gestured for her to approach, still staring into the scope. The Valentine squeezed in close. “What are we looking at?”

“Here, put your eye up to the lens.” Gio took a step back, allowing the other to take her place. “Don’t jostle it too much. You see that big glowing spot? That’s the ring nebula.”

There was something round and bluish right off-center in the telescope’s view. “It’s shaped differently from the other one.”

“Yep! That one’s made of an old star that’s breaking down. It’s changing into a white dwarf and dumping old parts of itself all over while it does.”

“So…that one’s dying?”

“All of ‘em do, after enough millions of years,” she nodded. “But all the stuff they shed flies around space and ends up making new ones.”

Ram went quiet for a moment, thinking to herself. “You don’t think that’s sad?”

“Sad? Maybe a little.” Giovanna sat back on the hillside. “I think it’s cool. Every star’s made of pieces of old ones. Sometimes they make other stuff. Y’know, all the stuff on earth originally came from space. Plants and rocks and water ‘n all that. People too. We’ve all got little pieces of space in us.”

Ramlethal continued staring through the telescope. She wondered how far away the stars had to be. She wondered how bright it had to be in order to be seen from so far away.

“I wasn’t made the way humans were. Are there still pieces of space in me, too?”

“Probably.”

It wasn't a very convincing answer. She continued to look. Behind her, she could hear both Giovanna and Rei moving around.

“Hey. Ram. Look at me real quick.”

Reluctantly, she did, and as soon as she turned, there was something warm against her face. The suddenness made it difficult to process, and as soon as she tried, something else wet slobbered along her arm.

“Rei, down!” Giovanna stepped back from the kiss to lecture the dog. “I had a moment going! I was gonna- augh…” She put a hand over her face. I was gonna do a thing where I went ‘well here, you can have a little of mine,’ but now the whole thing just feels weird.”

It was a little weird, but Ram thought it was weird in a good way. “I like that you tried.”

“I just didn’t want this whole thing to end up bumming you out.”

She nodded. “I get it. But I’m having fun. I like spending time with you.”

The two of them sat down together, using Rei as a pillow and watching the stars as they continued to twinkle.

“Can I ask you a question, Giovanna?”

“Eh? Yeah, always. What’s up?”

“Why was the ring nebula corny? I’m still confused.”

The woman was silent for a moment, then snickered to herself. “It’s- y’know what? Let’s wait a couple years ‘n come back to it.”

“It’s going to take me that long to figure it out?”

“Nah, it’s just that with how much I paid, it’s gonna take me a while to save up.”

“...I still don’t get it…”

“Heh. Ask your sister.”

[ape-of-no-state]

tried to pinpoint a certain moment in life thru discord messages

on the other hand, i been supporting gioram since the game came out im based like that

[talietikasero]

the lack of gio/ram content is disappointing

[most-normal-ramlethal-fan]

reposting reposting etc etc.

[most-normal-ramlethal-fan]

this is the first gioram piece of art i make in months. bless my wonderful chungus life ✌️ ✌️ ✌️ ✌️

[most-normal-ramlethal-fan]

I think that when thinking up of sexy times situations, i like to headcanon ramlethal as bring more impulse driven... Not rough, because she cares about giovanna, but she does let herself go a lot. Or something. Idk.

[andshewas-mp4]

MORE MILPHELT! sorry gioram likers, i promise your time will come soon.

[broken-clover]

What would you like to see if Sin and Ram become to new main characters moving forward?

Hard call! I'm still not sure I would be ready for it. I don't think either of them have had quite enough time to fully come into their own, so I don't know what direction the writers would choose to go in if that's where they decided to go. Ram has still only done so much and Sin's arc and personality has pretty much revolved around Sol and his family so maybe it would be a good excuse to flesh them both out more just in general?

Also Gioram. Would like to see Gioram if I'm being honest

[ape-of-no-state]

HELLO. forgot to tell you this and i thought i probably should but ive written two other milphelt-centric fics prior to my most recent one!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/48871168

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49289425

this wasn’t really meant to be any sort of self promo, just thought you’d be interested since you liked the most recent one i wrote.

MY HONEST REACTION TO THIS INFORMATION

YEAAAAAAHHHHHH

UWAAAAAAAHHHH THESE WERE SO GOOOD!!!!!! I SPECIALLY LOVED "in the end is our happily ever after" AAAAAYYYYYY it was v cute and sweet and and and

(also gioram reference spotted YOU CANNOT FOOL ME EHEHEHEHEH)

also like sorry if im too hyper ahahha. ok normal now. really enjoyed these! thanks a bunch for the recommendation:D :D :D

[ape-of-no-state]

what if gioram actually becomes a thing now LMAO

[broken-clover]

Still a little miffed that there was no unique intro for these two, and I know this ‘collab’ was just meant as a lighthearted April Fool’s joke, but I’m still melting over this adorable art that was made for it. Look how cute they are, sharing puppies!

[broken-clover]

i'm seeing Bridget/Ramlethal pick up some speed recently, and i find the concept adorable, thoughts?

I don't think I've seen it! Is it more of a Twitter thing? Or maybe I'm just not paying enough attention. It sounds cute! I could absolutely see a connecting theme of self-discovery as a way of drawing them together. I dunno if it'll usurp Gioram as my favorite Ram ship, but I can always appreciate more wlw content for guilty gear, it feels really rare overall, and that's a bummer!

Your gioram works SAVED MY LIFE!! There’s like nothing on gioram and yet I encountered gold within the barren desert. Are you thinking of making any more gioram works? (Just so you know I’d read them all) love your work thank you thank you thank you xoxo gossip girl

waugh...writing rarepairs is always odd because it seems like so few people are into it but then in the moments where one of the other people who likes it shows up, it's just neat to see that there's an audience for everything if you look hard enough, yannow?

I'm always open to the idea! I'm not sure if I have any concrete concepts right this moment, maybe just a couple of wispy thoughts that might get more tangible if I think of an interesting way to flesh it out, but if you've got something you'd like to see, please let me know!
