This was so neat and clinical but the sparks of human emotion just make me think that these two would've been terrifyingly brilliant together.

XD It's scary and exciting so well done and you deserve like, something more elegant than I have the vocabulary to speak.

First off, your icon is cracking my shit up so much. Love that.

these two would've been terrifyingly brilliant together.
YES! I originally intended to write this cute little thing about them meeting in a cafe in France when Arthur tried to order something but ended up using a word that's been co-opted into slang and Mal laughed at him. Somehow that turned into this? And the more and more I wrote about them, I was like, "Self, what are you doing? Oh, really? Really?"

Okay, I think your vocab here is truly excellent because you used both 'terrifying' and 'scary', which I shamelessly admit to being two of the tones I was aiming for. \o/

tl;dr THANKS FOR SUCH AN AWESOME COMMENT.

I am super sorry it's taken me this long to read this, but it is awesome. My favourite line was the part about Arthur pushing into her liminal spaces. That totally made my English major heart flutter. Amazing work!

Oh, Tori! Time limits do not exist. (Or if they do, I'm soooooooooo screwed.)

That totally made my English major heart flutter.

Oh, I liked this! I love the fragmentary feel, and I love that effect you get from the mix of precise fact/science and precise little details alongside the uncertainty as to what's happening/has happened.

Thanks so much! I'm delighted that the play between precision and uncertainty worked for you. I had quite a bit of fun playing around with that. :)
