So it was not tomorrow but I am back with the thoughts on chapter one lol buckle up bc I had many
“Nothing will ever make it better... I’ll be alone forever because I’m a loser!” - being a teenager really do be like that
"Lance’s side was much less themed. He had too many interests to count; glow-in-the-dark stars were stuck to the ceiling, rows of random books lined his shelves, and an aquarium with fish bubbled from atop his nightstand. There even was a picture of his hero, Takashi Shirogane, hanging up over the bed." - this is perfect and im crying
"Her thumb moved in circles, trying to impress her care for him into his skin" - IM NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING
I'm obsessed with this opening from Maria's pov and setting up this through-line of her advice to Lance after his first heartbreak
"Lance’s gaze trailed across Keith’s shoulders in total shock, finding himself looking for any sort of injury to explain his sudden visit and coming up empty." - Lance has read post canon fics before it seems. love this for him
"His cheeks were flushed, likely due to the harsh sunlight." - nice guess Lance but I suspect it actually may have been from you tackle-hugging him (I always adore it when this happens in fics and they make each other blush and attribute it to literally anything other than themselves)
"Just because you saved the universe doesn’t mean the sun will give you a free pass.” - that's so him I'm crying
“We saved the universe,” - IM CRYING BUT DIFFERENT
Lance keeping articles about his friends' accomplishments 😭😭😭😭
“You really don’t do well in the heat,” - Lance you just did a bend and snap in front of him what did you expect
Not the bleeding heart flowers 😭
"UGHS" is so funny I'm obsessed
Their dynamic in this is sooo perfect here like the ease and comfort they feel around each other just has me feeling all the things, tumblr user bluemantics you're a genius
"Nervously, his eyes flicked between Keith and the flowers." OKAY SYMBOLISM I SEE YOUUU TUMBLR USER BLUEMANTICS YOU'RE A GENIUS
THE PICTURESSSS 😭😭😭😭😭
And then Keith forcing Lance to fly again Keith Kogane I see what you're doing
The whole part from Lance teasing Keith about the one bed trope and them being unmarried (lol) to "Keith's stupid washboard abs" is PEAK I'm dead
The entire tomato soup exchange is adorable I love the way you write Shiro and Curtis
The two beds going right over Keith's head but Lance clocking what it means Immediately is soooo them. also, [insert eminem throwing a clock here]
Not a chekhov's zarkonite mention 😭 I'm so curious to see who this mysterious new leader is
Keith's reaction to the baby news actually made me emotional just everything about it is so in character and so perfect oh my god I love this
Lance reminding Keith to eat his cake god they're such a couple I could die
The whole conversation in the twin beds 😭😭😭😭 perfect, immaculate, no notes
"Keith had always been afraid of wanting" I FEEL SOOOOO NORMAL ABLJT THIS 😭
Them talking about the sunset scene and then offhandedly mentioning that this time it's a sunrise BLUEMANTICS YOUR MIND OH MY GODDDDD
The hand holding 😭😭😭 the casual intimacy and trust between them is breaking and fixing my heart all at once
"his mother always said he was too nostalgic for memories as he lived them" I think actually you understand these characters better than anyone alive what the hell
Tumblr user bluemantics when I tell you every line in this chapter is so fucking good it took all of my willpower to be selective about what I include here please know I'm being so fucking serious this fic is so good and your writing is unbelievable
