It's a warm morning, the breeze so sweet even the city air smells good, but maybe that's just Aditi, her fingers meshed with his, her long hair fluttering on the wind, her smile bright as they walk down this city street between glittering storefronts and smiling fellow pedestrians.

Thank you so much for this! I was really hoping that someone would choose this picture - I found it so evocative :) Your OC's are always so impressively human, and the ending is so very sweet and perfect.

*beams* I'm really glad you liked this!

That picture really is evocative -- I hope to write another ficlet about it, actually, George and Winona caught in a riot on a planet they're visiting.
