I wasn't going to post this here, because it's a twitter thing, but it's so funny, so i will lmao, it's more than two, but there's nothing I can't do
This tweet saved my day, this actually made me feel better, drawing my comfort characters together was fun (also, I'm sorry aerith, i put you together with so many murderers 😭)
I'm going to be hyper about this for a hot minute because them reading my fic out loud on this very official podcast to the very official show writer is absolutely insane and the most exciting thing that's ever happened in my 20 years of fic writing 😭
From "Caught in a Comet's Tail" (episode 1x02 novelization)
There is just something about Young Dale that makes her blood a little warmer—and it’s not exclusively caused by the way he keeps gazing at her as if she was every bit as incredible as he claimed her to be. She’s used to men gawking at her, a lot of them doing nothing to hide it. It feels different with Dale, though. It could be purely professional admiration, remembering the proverbial stars that had sparkled in his eyes while she delivered that special ‘Breaking News’ update, yesterday.
But he’d looked at her just the same hours later on the threshold of her home as he was about to leave, clearly exhausted from the insane day they had, and the reading practice she insisted upon at 11 pm.
