Chapter Preview
"Are you drunk?" Slate asks, just to be certain. Hopefully the answer is yes and Slate can make Feldspar see sense in the morning, before they launch.
As if to reply Feldspar takes another sip of sap wine, wincing at the taste as they always do. They look at their bottle contemplatively and shake their head. "Nah, I'm not even tipsy yet."
"Did you hit your head?" Slate asks now desperately grasping for a reasonable explanation as they poke the fire. There has to be some reason for Feldspar thinking this is a good idea.
"Come on, Slate." Feldspar says, rolling their upper eyes dramatically. "You're overthinking it."
"I am not! Do you even hear yourself?" Slate says forcefully jabbing their fire poker in their partner's direction. "How could you possibly consider going there ?"

Mild Outer Wilds spoilers! Feldspar and Slate art for @cobaltbluesu! The Quantum Poem is traditionally associated with Gabbro, but I had an idea in mind to use it for these two.

Easy solution: become a multishipper and ship Slatespar AND Gosslate both. Or Gossan/Slate/Feldspar.
Multishipping is so hard. I want to hyperfixate darn it! But I suppose I must do so.
The OT3 method is my normal go to! Unfortunately, some one, I think it was Poisonhemloc's headcanon about Feldspar and Gossan being siblings got to me first. So...that's a no....
