Phoenix isn’t even sure when she made the decision, but she knows it deep in her bones. She’s going to do this. It’s terrifying and it’s going to throw a terrible wrench in her career plans. It doesn’t make sense, but she wants this.

From what Lando can see through the half-open door, there’s a guy sitting at a large table looking down at his keyboard. All Lando can plainly see is a head of dark hair, his nose, and a large bottom lip. Lando thinks he’s seen the guy around even if he doesn’t know his name. He’s beyond intimidating in a way too-attractive people often are, but Lando’s desperate. The guy’s head shoots up, eyes wide in surprise, when Lando knocks on the open door. He’s probably in the middle of office hours and not expecting anyone to need him. His gaze is as piercing as Lando remembers from the previous few times. “Can I help you?” the guy asks, probably realizing Lando’s not one of his students. And while Lando’s seen him, he doesn’t think he’s ever heard him speak. The sound of his voice is a deep timbre that curls around the English words. Lando wonders what this guy teaches and if he would be allowed to audit the class just to get more of it. Or: Lando and Carlos are in a Ph.D. program navigating both graduate school challenges as well as an ill-advised friends-with-benefits situation that has no chance of going wrong.

Five for Friday Tag

tagged by @emmathecasualauthor to post 5 sentences from a WIP. It's been a while since I posted anything related to my WIP, Supernova, so that's what I'm going with today:

The sun rose over the forest. Ted wondered if he would ever see his daughter again. He had run out of tears after crying himself to the point of dry heaving, a first since those early days after Andromeda left him. He half-heartedly healed the cuts on his hands, slumped against a tree trunk, and buried his face in his hands. He struggled to find a way forward, if not for his sake, then for his daughter’s. 

tagging @merlinsbudgiesmugglers @artemisia-black @midnightstargazer @againaweasel and @asnarkyandironicusername no pressure ofc

Side note, I've now officially written and posted more to AO3 in 2024 than I did in all of 2023. That's a nice feeling. Even if both numbers are like 1/20th of what I was able to do before I had the kids and the business. All words are good words.
