Trying my best to look respectfully at the freckles woman, I must know more about her
(edit: the warm-up doodles being referenced)
Her specific "deal" in the story she's in is currently in flux, due to my having majorly changed the premise of it recently, but my original concept of her was that she was a 40-50 year old woman who liked to catfish people online by pretending to be a younger version of herself of dating apps. This was solely to get money. Now I am intrigued by the idea of her being some kind of hospital worker (secretary/administrative) who either still does this, or has a only fans of some sort...

for those who may or may not care... a little wip for aliis propriis volat's next chapter........ it's rusty being dumb about raven again
Nothing but great sheets of white stretching out for miles, the ice field’s horizon shrouded behind a thick ice fog that never really thinned out. Above the haze, the fiery Coral skies twinkled, splashes of orange and pinks intermingling with the scarlet as dawn began to kiss the firmament. It was a breathtaking sight, a beautiful dawn over Rubicon’s desolate landscape.
Rusty doubted he could love anything more.
He’d seen so many sunrises on other planets and all over Earth, yet none of them could hold a candle to this. It was one of the many things he had missed while infiltrating the Vespers, how he had made a ritual of waking up before the crack of dawn to watch it rise, over and over, and only thinking it’s not the same.
The Coral that rippled across the sky made it seem like an ocean of glittering scarlet stars, sparks of light shining between them - like spotting the flashing scales of a minnow in a creek. If he flew up there, if he pushed STEEL HAZE ORTUS’s boosters and generator to the max, he was certain he could reach that starry ocean, could skim across its waves and dive through the Coral clouds all over Rubicon, free in a way he could never truly be.
The yearning was visceral, this pull. Rusty didn’t really know what it stemmed from, the desire to leap up and cup those scarlet stars in his hands, even though he knew it would burn him, that the Coral would poison him and cast him back down to earth. Wasn’t it so very human, though, to try and skim the sun on wax wings? Even if he only gained a taste of absolute freedom for a scant heartbeat, it would be worth the fall afterwards.
He couldn’t help but think of Raven, how his eyes held that same starry ocean. Those Coral-eyes, with the intense, hidden depths, how Rusty felt like he was sinking into them whenever they made fleeting eye contact. It gave him that same yearning… and he knew how hot Raven’s star burned.
Rusty’s hand throbbed in remembrance, a dull ache, and he idly flexed it. Maybe it wasn’t so surprising, that he was drawn to intently to him. How could he not be, when Raven’s eyes reminded him so painfully of Rubicon’s lonely sunrises?
He hadn’t really had time to process his realisation in STALKER’s hatch, the true danger Raven held for him. Not only as a rival that constantly flew scant inches out of reach, but as a tempting Coral-star, melting his wings even as he chased him. Rusty wasn’t sure what to think of it, whether to dive in with abandon and damn the inevitable fall, or to start tempering himself, to pull away.
They’d already established their lack of trust in each other. Now would be the time to do it.
(‘SORRY,’ Raven had gently written into his palm, with delicate fingers and soft hands so brutally scarred. Rusty couldn’t help but think it represented the contradiction that was Raven so well: his inconsistent kindness juxtaposed to the brutal violence he delivered every day on Rubicon-)
‘PING!’
Rusty snapped to full alert, his HUD detecting an incoming signal. Not one of their transporter helicopters. Enemy.
