Eyelashes frozen shut, thawed with a kiss.

A while back @aurpiment made a comment about Genly and Estraven based on The Kiss, as a concept. And? Fellas, I had to

genly ai pov chapters during the ice crossing: estraven is a conundrum. estraven is the most infuriating man I’ve ever met. etrasven is so womanly. I can’t pin him down. what the hell does he mean by that. he’s so soft looking. he did this for me. who is he. he’s looking at me with his womanly stare again. he is pissing me off. he’s so earnest I’m scared. I need my best friend.

estraven pov chapters during the ice crossing: *logistics* “dear journal, here at the top ten things i noticed about mr. ai today” *licks genly’s eyeballs until his lashes unstick then makes them dinner* “he is like a baby and doesn’t take care of himself right I need to do it but he is also so strong so much stronger than me” *gently rubs out frostbite from genly’s face* “dear diary, here are my further contemplations on me mr. ai’s psyche” *logitics* “we cannot touch” *logistics* “genry, please trust me I’d do anything for you to trust me teach me telepathy so I cannot lie to you” *ruminations on the state and the nature of life*

Scene: it's a beautiful morning, you are the prime minister of Karhide, and the news announcer on the radio is saying something about an alien from outer space

Very-long-ago a keystone was always set in with a mortar of ground bones mixed with blood. Human bones, human blood. Without the blood bond the arch would fall, you see.
