Downtime's Up - Chapter 22 (S5E5)

The last time they’d been here, they’d been an unequivocal thing rather than a nebulous thing still forming, still in progress, and maybe that was the wrong way around for things to go, thing-wise, but… it was their thing, and he couldn’t be upset about that.

You could want and love complicated things.

Their new thing would be different than it had been. It would take time, he knew, but… he knew too, that they both wanted it. She’d told him about the coins. Now, actually doing things for herself, letting herself think it was okay to pursue the things she wanted… one of those pesky works in progress on a pile that never seemed to get smaller.

Maybe that was life though. A work in progress.

Unfinished.

There was freedom in that too though. Room to change, to write your own story. An early-middle-chapter didn’t define the story, what came later maybe couldn’t change what had come before, but it could change how it was viewed in hindsight, the part it played in the whole of the thing.

Their thing.

Read more of the twentysecond chapter of Downtime's Up on Ao3, wherein the dragang have a bath at the Stormspire with a lot of silliness and a little angst

For the fic title ask game: Looking Down Into the River.

this is giving me some Mertaro shenanigan ideas, specifically for him meeting Marina

something along the lines of Marina ends up falling off a rather tall bridge into some water. Maybe it was clumsiness, maybe someone pushed her, who knows, but long story short the water is a bit rough and she can't swim well enough to get herself to safety and starts drowning

Her conciousness floats in and out as the world gets darker as she's pulled under. The adrenaline in her veins does little to combat the water in her lungs as she's flung around like a ragdoll-

but then something catches her. She can feel big, thick hands grab her and pull against the current, and just before she drifts off into unconciousness she's able to make out dark purple scales and bright blue eyes

she wakes up in a hospital. Apparently someone annonymous had found her by the shore a ways down the river and called an ambulance, but they have no idea who

Marina returns to the river. She's careful of course, it wouldn't do her any good to fall in again, but she watches and keeps an eye out for her mysterious savior. She doesn't tell anyone what she saw or what she thinks actually happened, but she remembers

it's during one of these trips she's meets another man, Jotaro. He's a marine biology student who goes to the same college and is working on some project for a paper that leads to frequent visits to the river

she initiates a conversation after she's seen him for the third time

it isn't until the seventh he asks what she's doing here

it isn't until the thirteenth she answers him honestly

it isn't until the twentysecond he answers back

and every time before that, she watches the river, thinking and coming up with what she wants to say
