#celestial lovers

Drift along clinging close with me weightless afloat this starry sea Fear not the abyss that engulfs us endlessly

The cold that envelops all around, entombing ice without a sound Within our embrace a flame, profound

Anyway, this is for @fruity-castiel. I hope you like it!

Eva was lost. Well, she knew where she was, she had just never been on the university’s library. She had all the books she needed at home. But she needed more data about Alice in Wonderland for her project, and so, there she was. Lost on the library.

It was very soon in the morning, and there were only a few persons sitting there studying. The guy in charge of the library was half asleep and hadn’t been of any help, so she just went to one of the few tables that were occupied.

“U- Umm, excuse me, but I’ve never been here, and I need to finish a project and—”

The person turned eir face away from eir computer and looked at Eva. She couldn’t help but stare. Ey were…

“Do I… Do I know you?”

“Y- You are Andy Conrad!”

“That’s indeed my name”

“I love your books! They- They are amazing! It’s so well-written, I could see the places, and the characters… Everything. It was a great work.” She smiled. That trilogy, The Siege of Selenea, had always been one of her favorite books. She couldn’t help but love those characters that felt like family. And if she had dreamed about them after finishing the books… Well, she liked them too much.

“O- Oh” Had ey blushed? Really blushed? Damn, ey were cute. “Well , I- I’m glad you liked them. Those books are a part of me.” And now ey smiled. Eva was probably going to melt.

She sat next to Andy, and both of them talked for hours, forgetting completely about their personal projects. Instead, they discussed the themes of the books, the characters… It felt as if they had known each other for ages. After a while, Andy checked the hour and got up.

“My classes are about to start. I’m sorry, but I should leave.”

“Wait!” Eva tore a page off her notebook and quickly wrote a number on it. Then, she put it on Andy’s hand, along with a soft smile.

“This has been nice. Call me?”

Andy blushed and quickly nodded. Once ey left, Eva went back to her work, with a smile she couldn’t take off her face.

It wasn’t until later that day that she realized she had talked to Andy about things that weren’t on the books.

Celestial Lovers

These were in my head for weeks before I could finally scrape together time to paint them--and then I didn’t post them for ages!  So here they are <333

I love mythology and folklore, and some of my first childhood exposure to queerness was in myths.  Some of that was not 10000% positive but it meant a lot anyway?  

the sun and moon are lovers sharing an intimate dance. they spiral and twirl, teasing, not touching, but always with locked eyes.

the heat of their chemistry fuels the sun’s radiation, gives her her fiery depths. the constancy of the sun’s love gives the moon her glow her gentle disposition her patience and forgiveness.

Once every while they meet: they exchange kisses and embraces for a day, by human standards.

time does not work the same for celestial beings, and each eclipse is a lifetime of love.

their connection is so fierce, their love so unwavering, the collision creates sparks that twist away and create more life, shining creatures we call stars, but are better termed as angels.
