TO THE EDGE - CHAPTER 26.

Stardust thought it was one of the sweetest things he’d ever said—that he was the bad choice. For all his efforts to hide it, Cosmic was a good person. Stardust knew it, because he was like no one they had ever known before.

Pressed up against him in his doorway, fingers on his skin and the taste of his mouth still pressed into their own, they suddenly thought they understood one of the old family stories about Galileo.

She had been Theodosia before she took the title. She had been one in a hundred cousins all brandishing that Solinoh name over three hundred years ago. They had been a family of criminals, loathed by the rest of the primers and Theodosia had been nothing but a thug. A thug that caught the eye and the heart of a primer. Erasmus Avernath had been her trophy, and then he had become her weakness—a target of his own people as well as hers, because he had been a good person.

Good people deserved better than Solinohs, but Theodosia hadn’t been able to let Erasmus go.

Starlight understood that now and it was terrifying.

They kissed him again, savoring the way he sighed and his hand went to their hip, his fingertips sneaking in under their top to find that stretch of skin along their waistband.

Their palm pressed to his heart, pushing just a little, guiding him another step back out of the doorway and into the room. “You’re a bad liar, Cosmic,” they said against his lips.

He huffed a thin laugh, both hands on them now, exploring their sides. “You’re cracked if you think that.”

Another kiss and another step inside.

“You taste like paint…”

Stardust stopped but before they could say anything he was smiling.

“I wasn’t complaining.” His room was lit by the glow of stars outside the windows.

They stole another kiss, biting softly at his lip before asking, “Am I ahead on the scoreboard now?”

“The what?”

“It’s got to be at least one point five to six…”

He held them back by their hips but kept his hands on them. “The score is not one point five to six now! You did not save me. I saved you. It’s my point. I pulled that merc off of you.”

“Oh, come on! I literally jumped in front of you. If I hadn’t run that merc down, you would have been shot.”

His eyes went wide. “Are you seriously reminding me about the human shield incident already?”

Stardust bit back a laugh, leaning forward to bump their hips to his. “Too soon?”

He exhaled what sounded like it might be a laugh if he let it. “Yes, it’s still too soon. It’s been less than an hour!”

They looked at their own hand on his chest, sliding it up to the base of his neck. The contact was so easy, like they’d been this close all along—like this wasn’t the first time. “I had to drag you back here. That should count as saving you too. That’s another point.”

“So what if you dragged me back to the ship? You think I haven’t had to wake up and crawl back? I told you, I’ve had worse.”

They didn’t like that thought. Had he really been that badly injured and alone? When they first met, he’d said something about being blown up and having to get himself back onto the ship. Had that been true?

“Fine,” he said, the word almost rushing from his lips. “It’s a scratch. No points for either of us.”

Stardust stared up at him, wondering if he’d really just folded because of the look on their face. They reached up and peeled some of the paint off his temple. “We should clean up.”

The ship hummed around them, his mouth slowly curving into a smile. “…Are you suggesting we clean up together?”

How did he always make their heart jump like that? “It would be safer. You might faint again…”

“I don’t think I’m in danger of passing out again. You patched the gunshot wound, remember?” he said, but hadn’t taken his hands off their sides.

Stardust bit down on a grin. “Do you really want to take the risk? You could land face down in your shower…”

“I mean… Yeah, I’d hate to drown in my shower. That’d be a stupid way to go.”

They dragged their fingers down his chest, reveling in the feel of his skin and the nearness of him. They’d had partners before, but nothing had ever made them feel like this, like they were touching a living star—the heat under their palm like waves of fire against the cosmos. “I could protect you,” they said. It was a joke, but as soon as they said it they realized it wasn’t—they realized they would do anything to protect him, least of which would be standing in his shower to make sure he didn’t faint again.

Cosmic grinned, his hands flexing against their sides, like he was just realizing he had them in his grip. “Stardust…Are you trying to seduce me?”

They flicked their gaze from his mouth to his eyes and grinned right back.

“You know that won’t change my mind, right? You’re still on your own as soon as I get my hands on my half of that treasure,” he said, but pulled the zipper of their jacket down.

Stardust curled the fingers of one hand into the waistband of his pants, close enough to hear his breath catch. They turned him and started backing him toward the bathroom. “It’s not treasure,” they said for the hundredth time.

“I’ll call it treasure if I want to,” he countered, voice low now.

“But it’s not.” They kissed his jaw, nudging him through the doorway into that dark adjoining room. They were only guessing it was a bathroom. For all they knew, it could be a closet. They could work with a closet…

He groaned. “It is too…”

“No—”

“Wait.” He stopped that backward movement and looked at them. “Do you think arguing is flirting?”

Stardust shrugged and gave him a wink.

His smile was huge and his eyes as dark as a starless sky in the deep shadows of the maybe-closet-maybe-bathroom. “You are terrible at seduction…”

“I’m doing better than you…”

He barked a laugh. “I could definitely do a better job!”

They pressed up against him, one hand curling around the back of his neck and his breath catching again. “I’m the one that got us this far… and I had you that first day when I took your gun…”

“No! That first time you stole my gun was a fluke. I wasn’t seduced, I was confused.”

They blew a raspberry and smacked the wall, bringing the lights up. “Oh good, it is a bathroom,” they said out loud. It was at least twice the size of their own, which still made it one of the smallest showers they’d ever seen in their life. They’d been on lifeboats with bigger bathrooms, but suddenly the lack of space seemed like a good thing.

“Absolutely not,” he said, leaning back against the counter and watching them shed their jacket. “Go use your own shower. I can’t trust your motives.”

“You’re still pretending I haven’t seduced you? You’re not the least bit tempted?” They raised an eyebrow and turned to face him when they peeled their shirt off.

Cosmic watched, unblinking and unblushing. “I didn’t say it wasn’t tempting… I said I can’t trust why you’re doing it. You might just want to steal my jacket again. Or my gun. Or my ship.”

“I can do all of that and still want to shower with you…” Stardust pointed out. “I’m good at multitasking.” They bent and unbuckled their boots, feeling his eyes on them the whole time.

“I guess that could be worth the risk…” he said, sounding like he was still thinking too much. “Okay, Stardust. I’ll call your bluff.” The bathroom door slid shut behind them and the water in the shower turned on. When they med his gaze, the trails of lights still swirled in his irises from those automated controls. He grinned and spread an arm toward the shower stall. “Come on in. I’ll get that paint out of your hair and you can make sure I don’t faint from blood loss in the shower.”

They looked at him for a second, wondering if he really thought this was a bluff. Did he think they’d blush and run again? Oh, they were so far past that. Stardust stepped out of their boots and right up into his space again, one hand sliding into the back of his hair and pulling him into another kiss—wanting to make him believe them, wanting to make him understand.

He exhaled, a little surprised. “Really?”

“Really?” they mocked.

Cosmic laughed. “Yep. The worst at flirting…”

They kissed him again, wrapping arms around the back of his shoulders to press as close as they could get.

He sighed, smiling against their lips and arms finally curling around them. “Okay. Not the worst.”

In the cosmic nebula's embrace, A cosmic traveler found their place. Through galaxies they'd roam and glide, A life-changing event they'd hide. Transformed, in stardust enwrapped, A tale of adventure they'd capture. In the vast expanse they'd venture, Discoveries, dangers, their fortune.

The Start of Something New by Yusuf Alioğlu Via Flickr: The Start of Something New Planet Dokeia Interplanetary Travel And I'm on the verge of saying goodbye again. We have come to the end of another adventure together again. We still haven't found the Plunonians. Unfortunately, I have not encountered any civilization on this planet, which I have visited and named Dokeia, on which I have lived for a while. I was quite surprised that I did not encounter a civilization on this planet suitable for life. Just like the other life-friendly planets I have visited, the planet Dokeia was one of the abandoned habitable planets. Why were these habitable planets abandoned? What was the force that drove the civilizations living on it to leave these planets? These are questions that I still don't know the answers to. I have not encountered any negatives so far. When I find lost civilizations, I think I will have learned the answers to these questions. If I can find them. When I started space travel, while I was looking for a planet suitable for life, the fact that I found dozens of planets suitable for life and that they were all abandoned frightened me. What could be the power that frightened entire civilizations to leave their planets? The prospect of encountering this power in my interplanetary travels frightened me. What could I do alone in the face of the force that pushed huge civilizations to abandon their planets? In order to overcome my fears, I stop asking myself some questions. And I don't pay attention to every detail. Otherwise, my interplanetary journey might come to an end. I don't want to go back to my planet until I complete this mission I've been on.

Cozy Café : A VALORANT Headcanon

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written for this game, but inspiration struck at a random time. This totally hasn’t been sitting in my drafts since last January

Prompt: If the agents worked at a café, what would their roles and/or signature drink be?

Amidst the chaos of battle, a quaint café stands as a sanctuary for the weary agents. Here, they can take refuge from their high-stakes duels, and trade their weapons for aprons to pursue a different kind of mission: the art of brewing the perfect cup of coffee.

Phoenix: with his vibrant personality and quick reflexes, he’s the charismatic face of the café. Entertaining customers with his barista skills comes naturally as he conjures up dazzling coffee concoctions with a flair of his hand, a burst of flame and a confident grin. His signature drink, The Ignition Latte, is a fiery blend that invigorates even the most exhausted of patrons. Jett: agile on and off the battlefield, she brings her lightning-fast speed and precision to the café. With a swift motion of her finger, she effortlessly crafts delicate latte art, transforming each cup into its own masterpiece. Her Cloud Burst Cappuccino is a smooth delight, creating a moment of feather-light happiness for those who drink it. Viper: the formidable chemist brings her scientific expertise to the world of coffee. With a touch of her gloved hand, she infuses her creations with unique flavors and aromas, leaving customers in awe. Her Venomous Mocha is a mysterious blend that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves a lingering, addictive aftertaste. Sage: with her nurturing personality and herbal knowledge, she adds a touch of serenity to the café and its menu. Her Rejuvenation Tea is a calming infusion that restores both body and mind, providing a moment of tranquility amidst the chaos of everyday. Omen: ever the enigma, he brings an air of mystery to the café. With a flick of his wrist, he conjures up ethereal and smoky concoctions, leaving people wondering how he manages to capture such unique flavors. His Shadowy Cold Brew is a chilling experience that takes customers on a journey through darkness and light. KAY/O: the robotic agent assists in the day-to-day operations of the café, precisely measuring ingredients, ensuring efficiency, and maintaining the coffee shop's cutting-edge technology. KAY/O's presence adds a futuristic touch to the atmosphere, making customers feel like they've stepped into a realm where man and machine coexist harmoniously. Sova: a master archer, you can find him behind the counter carefully crafting his signature drink, The Tracker's Shot: a potent blend of espresso and a hint of blueberry syrup, topped with a delicate foam art of a wolf's paw print. Sova takes great pride in his creation, often using it as a conversation starter with customers, enthralling them with tales of his adventures in the wilderness. Cypher: the watchful surveillance expert provides security for the establishment. He has a keen eye for detail, which translates seamlessly into his signature drink, The Watchful Eye Latte: a meticulous combination of steamed milk, a shot of espresso, and a dash of vanilla spice syrup, served with a meticulous swirl of latte art depicting an intricate camera lens.

Chamber: the polished agent with a mysterious past has a taste for the unconventional, which is reflected in his signature creation, The Trademark Mocha: a rich concoction of dark chocolate, a double shot of espresso, and a hint of cinnamon, sprinkled with a dash of edible gold glitter that gives it an otherworldly shimmer.

Astra: with the ability to infuse her cosmic energy into any environment, she can elevate even a simple drink into an otherworldly experience. The Celestial Brew starts with a base of rich, smooth espresso, followed by a fusion of steamed milk and vanilla syrup, creating a swirling galaxy effect. To top it off is a dollop of homemade lavender-infused whipped cream, a touch of stardust and a sprinkle of edible glitter.

Starry Serenade on the Riviera - cl16

pairings: Charles Leclerc X female (gf! reader)

Charles, with a sparkle in his eyes, entered their home holding a bouquet of (Y/N)'s favorite flowers. The room seemed to brighten as he approached her, a playful grin dancing on his lips. "Hey there, beautiful," he whispered, presenting the flowers.

The Mediterranean sunbathed Monaco in a warm embrace as (Y/N) nestled into the comforts of their shared home. The gentle hum of the waves drifted through the open windows, providing a harmonious soundtrack to her peaceful afternoon. Little did she know, Charles Leclerc, the Formula 1 sensation and her adoring boyfriend, was orchestrating a surprise that would transform this ordinary day into an enchanting tale.

A gasp of delight escaped (Y/N)'s lips as she accepted the bouquet. "Charles! What's all this?"

"I thought we could use a little break," he revealed, his voice laced with excitement. "How about a special date on a yacht?"

Her eyes widened with anticipation. "A yacht? Seriously?"

Charles nodded, the mischievous glint in his eyes intensifying. "I thought we could spend the day cruising along the French Riviera, just you and me."

A radiant smile adorned (Y/N)'s face. "That sounds amazing!"

The next scene unfolded on the deck of a sleek yacht, elegantly cutting through the azure waters of the Mediterranean. The sun played hide-and-seek with the clouds, casting a golden glow that danced on the waves. The couple stepped aboard, greeted warmly by the captain, who saluted Charles with a knowing smile.

The yacht set sail, leaving the coastline of Monaco behind. Charles and (Y/N) found themselves alone, surrounded by the vast expanse of the sea. The air was imbued with a sense of adventure and romance as the yacht gracefully sailed along the French Riviera.

On the deck, a table awaited them, adorned with fine linens, silverware, and crystal glasses. A private chef, part of Charles's meticulous plan, stood ready to craft a culinary masterpiece. The couple indulged in a feast of fresh seafood, delicate flavors dancing on their palates, while the sea breeze carried the scent of the ocean.

As the day unfolded, the sun began its descent, painting the sky in hues of pink and gold. Charles and (Y/N) settled into plush lounge chairs on the yacht's deck, wrapped in blankets against the cooling breeze. The sky transformed into a breathtaking canvas of colors, a testament to nature's artistry.

Charles, ever the thoughtful planner, produced a tablet for a private movie screening. The yacht became their own floating cinema, surrounded by the tranquil sounds of the sea. Laughter and the soft murmur of waves intertwined as they enjoyed their favorite film, the screen competing with the mesmerizing spectacle of the sunset.

The atmosphere was nothing short of magical as the yacht sailed through the twilight waters. The couple, lost in the beauty of the moment, reveled in the serenity of the French Riviera at dusk.

With the movie credits rolling, Charles suggested a change of scenery. "How about lying down to enjoy the stars?" he proposed, a gleam of excitement in his eyes. They found a cozy spot on the yacht's deck, blankets pulled tight around them, and looked up at the night sky.

The stars above sparkled like diamonds, casting a celestial glow over the couple. Charles pointed out constellations, weaving stories in the night sky. (Y/N)'s heart swelled with gratitude for the extraordinary day and the extraordinary man beside her.

"I've never experienced anything like this," she confessed, her eyes reflecting the luminous beauty around them.

Charles, his gaze fixed on the twinkling stars, replied, "There's nothing more special than sharing moments like these with you."

Under the cosmic embrace of the French Riviera's night, Charles and (Y/N) lay hand in hand, creating memories that transcended time. The yacht sailed on, leaving a trail of stardust on the Mediterranean, etching their love story into the fabric of the universe.

TO THE EDGE - CHAPTER 23.

His breath came hard—harder than it should, but he had no time to think about that.

His knees slid in the gravel, already dropping the rifle to grab at their jacket and pull them onto their back.

“Stardust?” his voice came out soft and full of dread. He exhaled hard to try to clear it, to force something easy and certain there in its place. “Are you okay?”

Stardust groaned and blinked up at him.

He ran his hands over their head and neck, looking for injuries. “Did…Did you get shot?” he hated it even as he asked it, imagining one of those bullets straying. He patted down their sides, looking for blood and finding his hands covered in fluorescent colors. “Stupid fucking paint… I can’t…”

Stardust grabbed his hand, squeezing. “I’m okay,” they coughed, sitting up.

He exhaled so hard he almost fell over onto his ass in the gravel. “Okay.” He nodded. “You’re okay.” They spat blood and nodded too, rubbing the spot on their cheek where they’d taken a punch.

All that fear turned suddenly into a fury so painful his eyes burned. They’d literally stood between him and a gun. They’d thrown themself at that mercenary with no chance of winning. “What were you thinking? Why would you rush him like that?” Yelling felt good.

They stared back at him, so surprised that it only made him angrier. “It was our best option. We had a better chance of taking them out if I—”

“Better chances? Are you cracked? You could have made a run for it!” Rory was on his feet. He got there quickly and his vision filled with spots, but he kept his glare fixed on their face, on the splatters of pain, the stain of blood in the corner of their mouth, and the splotch of bruising that looked like it would eventually cover the whole side of their head.

They were on their feet too, hands out as if they needed to stabilize him. He pushed those hands away. The last thing he needed was their help!  “You’re shot!”

“What?” He followed their gaze down to his chest and the red rolling over bright paint. “Yes, I got shot. It’s a flesh wound. But you shouldn’t care!” And he wasn’t going to let them change the topic either. This was exactly the problem!

They reached for him again, their face so full of worry that he couldn’t even feel the gunshot anymore. It was the lesser of his pains.

“I thought you wanted to be a bounty hunter, Stardust?”

“What are you talking about? We have to get you on the ship. I think I have a medical patch—”

He pushed them away. No one took care of him. Rory took care of himself. “A gun for hire doesn’t use themself as a fucking human shield! Don’t you ever do that again!”

They froze, staring at him.

He needed them to understand. He needed to see that soft, beautiful light in their eyes go out because this was going to get them killed—and killed for him.

Their expression finally hardened but it wasn’t the way he’d wanted. It was…conviction? “We’re partners. I’m going to look out for you. You would have done the same for me.”

“Partners?” he spat the word, even as his head felt light. “No! We are not partners. You are my bounty, and we are going to get that treasure and then split. We are not friends or…or anything else. Don’t get confused just because I save your ass. You are just a payday and that is why I keep you alive!” That pain in his chest was the gunshot. Definitely the gunshot. Only the gunshot.

Their expression didn’t change, their mouth in a hard line and their gaze as hard as stone. “You don’t mean that.”

He pointed a gloved finger in their face, his other hand finally going to his side and pressing his palm into that wound. It didn’t hurt as much as it felt like a loss, like he was hollowing out. Maybe that was better right now. He didn’t like what he was saying, but he needed to say it. He needed to make them believe it. “I will drop you the second I get my share of this, Stardust!”

“You’re so full of shit…” They rolled their eyes, finally pulling something from one of their pockets and stepping closer.

“Stop fussing over it!” he barked when they tried to grab his arm and get a look at the injury. They were acting like this was normal—like what the two of them had was normal. “I’ve had worse and it’s none of your damn business!”

They finally snapped out of that stoic patience. “You’re just pitching a fit because you got scared, Cosmic!” they spat the nickname they’d given him. “We’re fine, so get over it!”

“No, I’m not mad because I was scared. I don’t get scared, and you don’t fucking know me,” he said, vision blurring at the edges and head swimming. His breath was coming faster, heart pounding. He looked down at his hand on his side and all the red soaked into his glove and rolling between his fingers.

Stardust took a step back and put both hands on their hips, chin cocked. “You’re going to faint.”

“Fuck you, I am not going to faint.”

They smirked and didn’t budge. “You’re going to land on your pretty face and I’m going to have to drag your dumb ass back onto the ship…”

Rory scoffed, but he couldn’t feel his fingers anymore. “I’m not the one who…” He swayed and blinked, but couldn’t quite see. “Oh shit…”

-

Stardust let him fall.

The wind rolled hard across the landscape, dropping several degrees as the light fell away.

They crouched and rolled him onto his back.

Through their optic implant they remotely connected to the ship, unlocking the security systems and starting the prep for start-up and take-off.

Hands on him, Cosmic’s vitals popped up on their visuals in electric blue. Blood loss and traumatic injury warnings flashed. He groaned and they hoped he’d just stay out until they were back in space. They had to unzip his jacket to lift his shirt and get a look at the wound. The bullet had gone through his side and from initial scans didn’t seem to have hit anything vital. They ripped the synthetic skin patch from their emergency kit open and stretched it over his side to cover both wounds. It sizzled in contact with blood and sweat, cleansing the area and dissolving into him.

He groaned again, head rolling back on the gravel.

Stardust sighed. “And I thought primers were fucked up…” They pushed his hair out of his sweaty face, his eyes flicking behind his lids. They hoped whatever he was thinking—whatever dream was playing out for him—was something good. “Asshole,” they muttered, not unaffectionately.

After zipping up his jacket, Stardust hooked their arms under his and lifted his shoulders against their chest. They dragged him inelegantly back to the waiting ship.

The Great Darkness Without End by Yusuf Alioğlu Via Flickr: The Great Darkness Without End Planet Dokeia Interplanetary Travel And again I am alone in the endless darkness. That great darkness that has no end and contains endless beauties. I have to go through this darkness to reach my next destination. While traveling with my spaceship in this dark and endless space, I am left alone with my loneliness. I'm starting to question why I'm alone again. I think about what I did in my past, my friends, memories and loved ones. I think about my distance from my past. I think about the years of no return. I can't help the smile that forms on my face when I think about it. I think my past is another thing that makes me happy as much as loneliness. My childhood and early teenage years. I did not choose to walk away from my past. As I moved away from my past, I became lonely. The more I got lonely, the more I wanted to leave the planet. And more and more, this desire of mine took on an unstoppable dimension. I guess that's why I went on my interplanetary expedition. I accept that I will never go back to my past. This trip was my way of overcoming my inability to go back to my past. I had created a new living space for myself. I was alone in this new living space. This was my own choice. It was the only decision I made about myself in my new life. Loneliness. I decided to stay away from everyone and be fairly quiet. The best benefit it has given me is that I experienced this space travel that I took off. In the solitude of endless space, my own solitude did not force me at all, on the contrary, it made me happy. The deep silence of space accompanied my silence. I became one with space. This was the result of the last decision I had made for myself on planet Earth.
