#fic planning

It's an unspoken thing between them that Jack shows up after his shift if Robby has the next day off. They'll eat breakfast together and then Robby will plant his ass on his couch for hours while Jack takes the guest room to sleep. They both relax better with the other around - even if they are in different rooms. Something about knowing they're sharing their time and space. Existing together.

When Jack eventually shows up in the living room, he's in a washed out band tee from a concert they caught together decades ago and a dark pair of sweatpants. His curls are messy, sticking in every direction. His eyes are still heavy with sleep, one of his biceps has lines and imprints from sheets and to Robby's delight Jack's cheek has the same lines from the pillow. Jack must have slept like a baby.

Robby does realise Jack is talking to him. Voice still deep and gravely, he catches something about "trash tv" so he guesses Jack is complaining about the show he's watching but Robby isn’t listening. His chest is so warm and he's so happy to watch the early afternoon sun hitting Jack's sleepy features.

"I love you."

Robby says it in the middle of Jack's sentence. He didn't mean to say it out loud. He thinks it a lot. It's a quiet ever present thing in the back of Robby's mind. He's known for a long, long time.

It shuts Jack up. He's looking at him like he thinks he must have misheard. This would be Robby's chance to think of an excuse. His Chance to make it looks like he genuinely misheard him.

Instead he repeats himself.

I am currently planning a college flashback chapter that shows Mira and Rumi’s changing relationship over the first two years of college. [Edit: The chapter will be in Rumi’s POV only, so if it’s anything Mira specific, it will only be seen through Rumi’s interpretation]

I have key scenes planned that I think you will enjoy seeing. However I want to open a few decisions up to you all regarding this chapter.

First: Is there anything in particular you’d like to see? (You will see their brief rivalry, how that changed to friendship and then became something neither speak about. Also throughout the fic thus far, Mira and Rumi have briefly mentioned small things that happened at college which will be shown here) But i’d like to hear any ideas or wants you might have to be explored/shown

Second: There’s a halloween scene planned. What costume do you think Rumi would wear and what do you think Jinu would wear? Mira won’t be in a halloween costume, for reasons that will be shown.

[EDIT: Rumi and Jinu aren’t together at all in Freshmen or Sophomore year, so their halloween costumes won’t be couple ones. Jinu is flirting heavily with Rumi though whenever he is planned to appear in the chapter, much to Mira’s annoyance]

You can either comment on this post with your ideas, or DM me privately.

Here are scenes I have planned (unspoilered):

- jealousy moments

- light flirting/teasing scenes

- soft, intimate scenes

- Mira meeting Celine

- Rumi taking care of Mira

- Rumi being protective

- Mira being protective

One thing leads to another and Feemor's ship crashes on Korda VI, destroying the ion cannons Montross intended to use for his betrayal.
