jessmaria for the ship game

love. obsessed. already wrote two fics about them and have more in my brain because i can't stop thinking about them. girlfriends that flop together stay together. or something. i think the timing of their individual successes are fascinating. girlfriends that lose to igaryna together stay together. we talk about them being parallels but metaphorically i think they are reflections of each other. not parallel. there was maybe an intersection, point in time when they were equals. or like two cars passing on the highway at night. you can see the headlights from a long way off but there's only a millisecond you actually spend in the same general vicinity. the rest is either squinting into the headlights ahead or craning your neck to look behind.
