"There's nothin' you can do to turn me away -- Nothin' anyone can say -- You're with me now and as long as you stay, Lovin' you's the right thing to do... Lovin' you's the right thing..."

~"The Right Thing to Do" by Carly Simon

My dear Carion! And canon, at that! 🥰

One headcanon I've had for these two for a while is that -- because they're both on the "A" side of the LGBT+ spectrum -- they wouldn't be huge into cuddling. Instead I could see them working side by side in the kitchen, holding hands, and (as pictured here) Carewyn laying her legs across Orion's lap on the couch while they're both sitting down. Even while sitting down with her legs up, though, Carewyn is a perpetual workaholic who has a lot of trouble putting down her work files and just relaxing, and so it's up to legal partner Orion to encourage her to slow down and take some time to herself, whenever he comes to stay the night.

"The world will wait a night for you, my Abraxan. Best shed those uncomfortable, stifling things until you truly need to wear them again." "I suppose that includes my work as well as my shoes." "Your troubles, broadly -- but specifically, yes." "(soft laugh) I suppose it would be good to take them both off for a night...these heels do pinch my toes after a while."

This song made for very good inspiration for this, since I could see Carewyn singing it for Orion more than once. Its last stanza in particular would really speak to her, when Orion's traveling with the Montrose Magpies --

"Nothing you could ever do would turn me away from you: I love you now and I love you now... Even though you're ten thousand miles away, I'll love you tomorrow as I love you today -- I'm in love, babe... I'm in love with you, babe..."

Much love, all! Have a magical day! xoxo
