Gravity Wins
Pairing:ย Robert Capa x Reader
Word Count: 5.2k
Summary: The walls around here are too thin, and Capa can't seem to mind his own business.
Warnings: Smut, changes to several minor aspects of canon, alcohol/drinking (not related to the smut), mentions of vibrators, sexual frustration, masturbation (f), slight voyeurism, teasing, biting, quiet sex, and my obvious fixation on Capa's arms
A/N: In the words of Jayne Cobb... I'll be in my bunk. This was the winner of my "Bad Summary WIPs" poll. I had originally intended for "Gravity Wins" to be a working title that I would change later, but uh, it did win, so I'm keeping it lol. Happy Capa Month! ๐ฅฐ
***Please read the warnings before continuing. Minors DNI***
Life aboard Icarus II had its charms. The views were unlike anything else; the oxygen garden was truly breathtaking; and the ship itself was pleasantly quaint, in a close-knit kind of way. Most of the time, at least. Sometimes, that same pleasant quaintness had a habit of dissolving into claustrophobia; the tight quarters and lack of privacy suddenly surrounding you on all sides.ย
Thatโs why it was important to find small moments of joy where you could, to pass the time. And thatโs why you were currently in the canteen, with Cassie and Corazon squeezed in on either side of you, passing around a bottle of contraband vodka.ย
It was cheap stuff; strawberry flavored. Not necessarily what you would have picked to drink, but beggars couldnโt be choosers and Cassie - god love her - had always had terrible taste in booze. Still, it got the job done. And getting to spend a night gossiping and getting a little tipsy every once in a while was just enough to break up the daily routine and keep the three of you from going mad.
Only three months into the mission, and your one bottle was already two-thirds empty. It was going to be a long flight.
โYโknow what I miss?โ Cassie sighed, shoulders loose as she passed the bottle over to you. โPizza.โ
You took a swig - the cheap, artificial taste of fruit mixing terribly with the burn of alcohol - and passed the bottle on. Corazon slouched forward on the table.
โDonโt talk about food, Cassie. Please,โ she whined.ย
It wasnโt as if you were starving, but the bare-bones, monotonous rotation of meals you all ate while onboard the ship left a lot to be desired. You could feel your mouth watering just at the thought of something besides the same old efficient, nutritionally-dense meals youโd been eating for weeks now.
โI miss ice cream,โ you jumped in.
Corazon groaned and took a sip of the vodka, rubbing her head.
โEnough already,โ she begged.
โFine then, Cora - what do you miss?โ asked Cassie, reaching across your little circle to take the bottle back. She tipped it against her lips, taking a quick sip.
โMy vibrator,โ answered the biologist.
You and Cassie burst into laughter; high-pitched giggles bouncing off the walls of the cramped space.ย
โIโm serious,โ laughed Cora, nudging your shoulder.
โOh, I believe you - I miss mine, too,โ Cassie admitted.ย
You hummed in agreement. It was a long journey, and until youโd stepped foot on the ship, you really hadnโt anticipated all the small comforts of home you would miss. If getting off could be considered a comfort.
โHereโs the real question though,โ said Cassie, pointing the bottle at each of you in turn. โWould you fuck any of the guys?โ
โOn the ship?โ you asked.
โYou see any other guys around?โ Cassie laughed.ย
You joined her, feeling the hot flush of alcohol rise on your cheeks.
โWhat about Mace?โ Cora offered.
โToo angry.โ Cassie scrunched her nose.
โSure, heโs hot-headed - but with guys, sometimes that means heโs a good fuck.โ
Another round of laughter echoed after Corazonโs remark.
โHarvey?โ you suggested, narrowing your eyes. Watching to see if either of the other womenโs faces betrayed a genuine reaction.
โKind of stuck-up,โ Cora commented.
The group agreed, and lapsed into silence. The bottle made another round, and you felt yourself starting to tip past the point of a slight buzz.
โHow โbout Capa?โ Cassie asked.
โMaybe if he wasnโt such a dick,โ Cora scoffed.
You snorted, then scrambled to control your expression.
โI think heโs kinda hot,โ Cassie ventured.
A chorus of oooohs made their way around the table; Cassie waving them off.
โBut I wouldnโt sleep with him,โ she insisted. โSeems like the kind of guy to make himself come and then roll over.โ
Corazon laughed sharply and then turned to face you.
โWhat about you, huh?โ she asked, voice lowering. โWould you let Capa teach you all about physics and where he can stick โem?โ
Before you had a chance to tease Cora about being so buzzed that she couldnโt even come up with a half-sensical sex joke about physics, the party was broken up by the arrival of a fourth person. Speak of the devil himself.
Capa glanced over at the three of you as he walked in, pausing to quietly open a cupboard and pull something out. Cora ignored him. Cassie took a swig of the vodka. And you quickly averted your eyes, looking down at your lap as your face burned.
โWhat are you all giggling about?โ Capa droned.
โNothing,โ Cora snapped, a little harsher than was necessary.
Capaโs eyes narrowed, landing on the vodka. There was a moment of rigid silence.
โYou know thereโd be trouble if the captain found out about that,โ he commented.
It wasnโt exactly a threat, but it wasnโt exactly a harmless observation either. Cassie stood up and slouched over to him, pressing the bottle against his chest. You were watching out of the corner of your eye, still too embarrassed to meet anyoneโs gaze.
โBut you wouldnโt tell on us - right, Capa?โ Cassie asked sweetly.ย
She was a little too drunk for her own good, and you felt a quick bolt of tension in your stomach. Capa gave each of you a questioning look, impossible to tell what he was thinking as he backed off and walked out the way heโd come in.
โJust keep it down in here,โ he muttered.
Once he was out of earshot, Cassie sat down, and the three of you shared a shy laugh of relief. Corazon instantly broke the tension.
โSee? Whatโd I say? Heโs a dick.โ
The next morning, you woke up groggier than you should have. After Capaโs interruption, the vodka bottle was quickly put away, hidden in Cassieโs bunk for another night. You hadnโt really had too much to drink, but the minor shame of getting caught mixed with the shitty vodka was enough to make you feel thrown off.
You shuffled out of bed, slipping into a pair of sandals after pulling on your pants. You shrugged into a shirt and ran a tired hand over your face.
On your way to the bathroom, Harvey stopped you. You only had the energy to listen to about half of what he was saying, still feeling grumpy and with a sour taste in your mouth. He was talking to you about some report; asking why it hadnโt been submitted in triplicate. You clenched your jaw, really not having the patience to deal with him right now.
You promised Harvey youโd re-file your report, and walked away before he could rope you into any more conversation. Coraโs assessment of him was accurate, you thought. Stuck-up.
As you walked, your thoughts wandered back to how the night had ended. Or, more accurately, to what had happened just before youโd been interrupted by the very topic of your conversation. Capa. You had been about to open your mouth to answer Coraโs question about himโฆ or, not answer. You had actually been planning to make a joke and shift the attention away from yourself, specifically so that you wouldnโt have to give a straight yes or no. Because, of course, you didnโt want either of the other girls to know-
โHey, wait up!โย
A voice behind you caused you to jump. You turned to see Cassie, already catching up behind you, oddly chipper considering that sheโd been the one drinking more of the vodka than anybody last night.
โHey, Cas.โ
She fell into step beside you, easily keeping up with your sluggish pace. You tried to straighten up and match her energy, but it was hard to when all you wanted to do was crawl back in bed.
โHarvey just stopped me in the hallway,โ Cassie told you. โSaid something about getting you to file a report? I just wanted to warn you; he seemed pissed.โ
Great - now Harvey was sending your friends after you.
โYeah, we already talked about it,โ you muttered.ย
โYou okay?โ Cassie asked. โYou look miserable.โ
You felt miserable. And not just because of last night. For the past few weeks, youโd felt off. Moody. Unfocused. You'd been trying to push through it, but you felt yourself losing ground, and you were frustrated.ย
It was partly to be expected - at least according to Searle, the shipโs de facto therapist, who you had talked to about your problems a few days ago. Space travel was taxing on the body, and sometimes doubly so on the mind. You felt cooped up, and getting mildly drunk with Cassie and Corazon only provided a temporary distraction.
โCabin fever?โ Cassie guessed.
โSomething like that,โ you agreed.
Cassie sighed. โCora was right. We all really need to get laid.โ
โCassie!โย
You hissed her name, spinning around to check that no one was behind you eavesdropping. The last thing you needed was a repeat of last night.
โRelax - Iโm not saying Iโll fuck you, so donโt get all excited,โ Cassie joked. โBut she is right. It gets to you, after a while.โ
It certainly did, and you could attest to that fact. Last night it had seemed almost funny; giggling with your friends over missing your vibrators. But the truth was, three long months into your journey, you were already starting to go stir crazy from a life of near-celibacy.
โMaybe you just need to blow off some steam.โ Cassie prodded, not letting up.
โCas, no offense, but can we not discuss my sex life until I've been awake for at least twenty minutes?โ
โWhat sex life?โ Cassie laughed, a little too loudly, and you hurried to shush her again. โI'll shut up,โ she promised, continuing on, โbut all I'm saying is you look like you could use it.โ
With one more conspiratorial giggle, she left, walking ahead of you down the bright hallway. You groaned inwardly, knowing she was right but also that there was nothing you could do about it.ย
You went into the bathroom and splashed cold water on your face.
The day seemed to drag on worse than it ever had. You tried to remind yourself to be grateful; that you were lucky enough to have been selected as a member of the small crew in the first place, and that your mission was important to the fate of mankind. But it all felt so trivial when you couldn't focus on anything other than the building feeling of dissatisfaction that ached between your legs.
Talking about Capa last night really hadn't helped things. He was all you could think about as you tried in vain to get your work done. Twice, you caught yourself making mistakes in your calculations as your mind started to drift elsewhere.
What gave him the right to walk around in those tank tops, showing off his perfect arms and chiseled shoulders - that's what you wanted to know. And why did he even have such sexy arms to begin with? He was a physicist, for god's sake. He sat in his lab all day doing nothing that should have given him such infuriatingly noticeable forearm definition.ย
Capa had a habit of putting his hands on his hips or in his pockets while he talked, and of running his fingers over his lips when he was thinking. Somehow, everything he did seemed to make a couple of thin veins poke just below his skin, as if to tease you into thinking what he'd look like holding you up against a wall. These were all little things you had noticed - found it impossible not to, actually - and they drove you crazy. Being cooped up was one thing, but being cooped up with Robert Capa was a whole other problem.
Cora was right, though. He was unapproachable at best and actively self-isolating at worst. Capa was the pariah of the crew, and whether or not he intended to be, acting that way made him come across as kind of rude. But to you, that only added to the appeal. The idea of getting with a guy who was so aloof made your fantasies run wild.
That night, you decided to take matters into your own hands. You slipped into your small room, dimmed the lights to thirty percent power, and shrugged out of your shirt and pants.ย
This was nothing you hadn't done before; it wasn't exactly groundbreaking stuff to masturbate when you were horny. For weeks now, though, it hadnโt really been enough to scratch the itch that seemed to grab hold of you whenever you were around Capa. But it dulled the ache, and for now that was the best you could hope for.
Your bed was more of a bunk, recessed partially into the wall. You laid down on the springy mattress and sighed as your fingers slipped beneath the waistband of your underwear. You were still in your panties and bra, feeling self conscious about stripping all the way down even though you were alone in your room.ย
It felt like everybody was living right on top of each other, although luckily your dorm was at the very end of a row, so you only had a neighbor on one side. Unfortunately, that one neighbor just so happened to be Capa.ย
Knowing that he was so physically close only added to your frustration as your fingers swept over your clit. But still, it wasnโt like you had a choice about Capa being in the room next to you, and you certainly didn't have anywhere else to do this. Your fingers trailed lower, over your core, and you gasped.
You were already wet. Of course you were; after doing nothing but daydreaming about Capa for practically the entire day, how could you not be? You pictured his face from last night; how he had briefly looked at each one of you as youโd sat around the table with your two friends. The rush that it sent through your veins was electric. Your cheeks felt hot as you imagined him, his eyes holding slight disappointment while he looked at you.ย
You weren't sure why that turned you on, but it did. You wanted him to look at you with that soft little frown; his blue eyes piercing through you as if they could see every dirty fantasy that played out behind your own eyelids.ย
You sped up, using your fingers to collect some of the wetness that eagerly pooled between your legs, and then bringing them back up to rub at your clit. Slow circles at first, and then desperate with more pressure. Your mattress squeaked, and you hissed, bringing the hand that wasn't touching yourself down to grab at the cotton sheets.
โFuck,โ you whimpered, careful to stay as quiet as you could.
The only sound in the room aside from your moans was the wet noise that greeted you as you stuck two fingers into yourself, not bothering to warm up with just one. You needed this. You needed more, but this was the best you were getting. You curled your fingers, arching your back and daring to let a whisper of his name cross your lips.
A few seconds later, you were stopped by a knock at your door.
You barely had time to pull your fingers out, scrambling to sit up and cover yourself with a blanket as your door slid open. There were no locks, which usually wasn't a problem, except of course at times like this when it really reminded you that you had absolutely no privacy.
You were expecting Cassie - she had a habit of barging in, instead of waiting for you to answer her knock. But instead, you were greeted again by the very face you had been picturing only seconds ago.
โCapa?โย
Your voice felt strangely small in the cramped space. Capa stepped through the door, letting it hiss closed behind him. His face was expressionless, except for the barest hint of that pout that drove you so crazy.
He didnโt answer right away, but took a step closer and leaned up against the wall that separated his room from yours. Then, his lips curled into a smile.
โYou really donโt realize how thin these walls are, do you?โ
The implication of his words crept up on you, until finally your face was frozen in a look of sheer horror.ย
โHow much did you hear?โ you asked, voice just barely above a whisper.
โEnough.โ Capa shifted his weight, pushing himself off of the wall to stand up. โEnough to figure out the answer to that question Corazon asked you last night.โ
โYou heard that, too?โ you groaned.
Capa walked over and sat down on the edge of your bed. Not touching you yet or getting too close, but hovering just out of reach in a way that made your skin tingle and your heart do flips. You had no clue if he was torturing you or inviting you to make the next move.
โDโyou always think about me when you touch yourself?โ Capa asked, bringing the volume of his voice down to match yours.
He sounded so sexy like that. He must have known what he was doing to you; his eyes were practically glowing with mirth and his lips were still curled into that smile. You shifted uncomfortably.
โIโdโฆ rather not answer that,โ you choked out.
Capaโs eyes darkened. No answer was as much of an affirmation as admitting it.
โYou should have just asked for my help,โ Capa teased. โYou obviously need something. And itโs not like Iโm twiddling my thumbs over there. Cumming into my own hand got old weeks ago.โ
Your whole face burned hot with embarrassment at what he was admitting. And yet, at the same time, you shivered. The blanket youโd haphazardly thrown over yourself only covered your waist, and your bare shoulders were suddenly prickled with goosebumps.ย
Finally, Capa reached out and put a warm hand on your shoulder, then dragged it down the side of your arm, taking your bra strap with it.
โWant me to touch you?โ he asked.
His voice was low, and you could feel yourself getting pulled down with it. You knew that it would be stupid to do this; sleeping with Capa could only open a Pandoraโs box. If it was good, you wouldnโt be able to get off on your own fingers for the rest of your time on the ship. If it was bad, you still had years to spend cramped up together. Your room right next to his in the already-tight quarters. It wasnโt as if youโd be able to avoid him after an awkward hook-up.
Suddenly, though, you realized that you were thinking way too much.
โYes,โ you whispered.ย
Capaโs hand trailed farther down your arm; grabbed your wrist. You bit your cheek, wary of making any more noises after his earlier comment. All the crewโs quarters were laid out close together; if you were too loud, the whole ship would hear.
โTell me what you want me to do to you,โ Capa hummed, bringing you close as he leaned in, his lips practically brushing against yours. That seemed like a good enough place to start as any.
โK-kiss me - please,โ you whimpered.
Capaโs lips found yours, and the rush that surged through you was almost overwhelming. It had been months since youโd kissed anyone, and the press of his slightly chapped lips against yours was doing more to you than it should have.ย
Your mouth opened, and his tongue instantly pushed in. He was moving slow, but with a hunger that sent your mind racing with thoughts of what he could do to you if you asked. You felt Capaโs breath against your face; heard the low moan that vibrated through both of you as it came from the depths of his chest.
โWhat else?โ Capa urged, pulling away. โWe both know thatโs not all you want.โ
You could hardly think straight, much less put together a sentence. Instead, you guided his hand to your chest, and felt as his fingers squeezed. As he did, he leaned back in for another kiss.
You had put Capaโs hand over your bra, but he quickly slipped it under the fabric to rake over your bare skin. His fingers pressed into you, kneading at delicate flesh. You moaned, opening your mouth against his kiss again, and he bit hungrily at your lips.
โSo soft,โ he murmured, flicking a thumb over your nipple. โBut thatโs not where you really want me to touchโฆโ
His voice was airy, even as he gripped at you with an intensity that almost hurt. He lowered his rough hand from your breast, and pushed past the blanket still draped over your legs. Teasing at the hem of your panties for only a second, he deepened the kiss as his fingers pushed lower and lower. Finally, he reached the wetness that was still pooling between your legs.
โYouโre fucking soaked,โ he groaned. You felt your cheeks heat up again. โYou really want it that badly?โ
โFuck, Capa,โ you whined.
โWant me to touch you like this?โ he teased, voice still husky as he pressed one finger into you.
He had barely pushed in the pad of his fingertip, and you were already sinking into the mattress, unable to hold yourself up. Capa added a second finger, then repositioned himself, squeezing into the too-small bed with you to hover over your frame as his fingers roamed deeper.ย
โYes - just like that,โ you begged. โDon't stop.โ
Capa curled his fingers inside you, and you opened your mouth in a silent gasp. Your eyes had squeezed shut, and when you opened them again, you saw him looking pleased with himself, gazing down at you as you lost your mind over his touch.
โBet you've thought about me doing this,โ he whispered. โIsn't that right?โ
โYes-โ Your voice hitched. โYes- ah- thought about- cumming on your fingers.โ
Capa smirked and brought his lips to your ear.
โYou're not gonna cum on my fingers.โ
He pulled them out of you, and you groaned at the loss. You felt his stubble scrape your cheek as he got up off of you, and you watched, half in a trance, as he took off his boxers. You hadn't even noticed until now, but he was just in his underwear and a t-shirt. He pulled the shirt off, too, and then went about removing the last of your clothes.ย
You suddenly had the urge to cover yourself; like you now had too much on display even though Capa had already been watching your face twist in pleasure while he was knuckle-deep in you. You brought your arms up to cover your chest, but Capa gently brushed them away.
โDon't be shy; it's nothing I haven't already imagined,โ he winked.
Again, the implications had you almost slack-jawed. You had no idea if it was true or if he was just teasing you, but you really didn't care.
โLet me show you what I've thought about,โ Capa went on.
He took your hand and brought it to his hard cock, wrapping your fingers around it. He sighed a little as you touched him, softly, and the sound sent another shiver down your spine.
โCโmon - wanna feel you,โ Capa said, his eyes half-hooded. โUse your hand. Squeeze me.โ
Your heart fluttered as you followed his instructions; tightening your grip on his shaft until he was groaning above you. You gave him a few tentative pumps.
โSo good,โ Capa groaned.
The dull ache had returned between your legs; you were still missing the touch of his fingers. Even though you were happy to touch him as well, you needed the friction. You started to squirm, rubbing your legs together.
โImpatient,โ Capa laughed. โDon't worry - mโnot gonna tease you too much longer.โ
His mouth dipped to your neck, pressing a kiss along your collarbone. Your hand flexed, and Capa groaned deeply again. The sound was enough to send you reeling; you thought you might come from his voice alone if he didn't hurry up.
โStop teasing,โ you begged. Breathless, and fully aware of just how desperate you sounded.
โI guess we've both waited long enough, huh?โ Capa chuckled.
Your hand relaxed, and Capaโs came up to guide himself, hovering right at the space where you wanted him, but not pushing in just yet.
โBe quiet now,โ Capa reminded you, and he kissed you as he started to press in. โWouldnโt want anybody to hear you.โ
You would have cried out, not caring who heard you or how loud you were, had Capa's lips not been pressed roughly against yours, swallowing your muffled moan as he bottomed out. He pulled back to watch you, panting like a dog beneath him, and smirked again.
โFuck, this is so much better than my hand,โ he said, breathing a little heavy himself. โMโnot gonna last long.โ
The idea sent your head spinning all over again, and your legs squeezed his hips a little tighter. The thought of Capa, coming too quick as he buried himself inside you, turned you on so much that you moaned out loud, and Capa quickly slapped a hand over your mouth. His palm was rougher than you'd imagined it.
โTold you to be quiet,โ he warned.
When he started to move, you were grateful for the hand covering your lips, because without it you certainly would have woken the whole crew. As it was, Capa had to press his palm a little harder to muffle the moans that escaped. You were shameless; couldn't think about anything but the way his cock was stretching you out and spearing into you. It was more than enough to make you forget where you were.
โNot that I don't normally love hearing you get off,โ Capa whispered, โbut if you keep doing that, we're gonna get caught.โ
Had he heard you the other times you'd touched yourself? You thought of him, silently palming his cock in the next room over, listening to your soft moans and breathy sighs as you tried - and failed - to stay quiet.ย
Capa, unlike you, still had control of his voice; never letting it rise above a whisper. You wished you could hear him - how you were really making him feel. You bet he would make the prettiest noises if he'd let himself.
โGonna be good?โ Capa asked as he sped up.
You nodded, and he removed his hand. Instantly, the way his cock hit a spot deep inside of you made you hiss with pleasure, teeth clenched as you fought to stay quiet.ย
โFuck, Capa - driving me crazy,โ you breathed.
โI know,โ he agreed. โFeels good, doesn't it?โ
โMm-hmmโฆโ
โIf you can stay quiet, then you can cum on my cock.โ
The way it felt like he was giving you permission sent another wave of heat through your whole body. You wanted to come for him. The feeling that had been steadily building now felt like it was nearly about to flow out of you; you could so easily let yourself fall over into oblivion.
โCanโt stay quiet,โ you whined. โGod, you feel so- ah!โ
You gasped as Capaโs cock twitched inside of you, his hips continuing to swirl against yours. He was almost there, too; you could feel it. And the realization only pushed you closer.
โShit,โ Capa swore.
He was clearly at odds with himself, over whether to cover your mouth again so that the two of you wouldnโt get caught, or give in and let you scream for him. His hips faltered, and you moaned again. He was running out of time to make a decision.
โBite down on my shoulder,โ he said, finally. โFuck - Iโm gonna come.โ
He didnโt have to tell you twice. You had thought very often about what it would be like to sink your teeth into his skin. Seeing even an inch of it peeking out from behind the collar of his shirt or on display in one of those fucking tank tops was enough to drive you crazy. You bit down, just in time as you finally let yourself give in to the building pressure.
As you bit him, Capa swore again, and scrambled to pull out of you, as best he could with your bodies still pressed together. He was coming, white ropes painting your stomach as you came down from your own high.ย
You wished you had gotten to squeeze him more. The idea of him emptying into you as you milked his cock was almost too good to imagine. As your senses returned, you realized that Capa was speaking to you.
โSoโฆ Did you enjoy me teaching you about physics?โ He was panting, but there was still light in his voice as he teased you, echoing Coraโs words from last night.
โStooop,โ you protested.
โIf you didnโt, we donโt have to do this again,โ Capa teased.
โNoo,โ you mewled, voice still weak from your orgasm. โCanโt go back to fucking my fingers nowโฆโ
โYeah,โ Capa agreed, bringing his lips down for another rough kiss. โMe neither.โ
The next night, Cassie proposed taking out the vodka again, and the three of you met in the canteen, as usual. Prepared for another late night of gossiping.
โYou seem brighter today,โ Cassie noticed, facing you.
โYeah,โ you replied. โIโm feeling a little better.โ
You left it at that. You werenโt sure how long you and Capa could keep your new arrangement a secret, but you also werenโt rushing to tell the girls. The bottle of vodka made its first round, and the three of you started to speculate about which member of your small crew was most likely using up all the hot water. Youโd all been taking freezing cold showers for weeks.
Only a few minutes passed before Capa came sauntering into the room again. Just like last time, he glanced at your group before reaching up to get something out of a cabinet.
โYou three never learn, do you?โ he commented.
You felt your cheeks start to heat up again. His eyes focused on you, briefly, and then moved on to something else. Cassie puffed up, straightening in her seat as she faced him.
โGo away, Capa,โ she huffed. โThis is a private conversation.โ
Capa came over to lean on the table, glaring down at your small group.
โOh yeah, Iโm so interested in your riveting conversations about how I get off and roll over.โ
Cassieโs face turned red. Corazon glared at him. And you felt your soul fully exit your body.
โYou were eavesdropping on us?โ Cassie shrieked.
โNo - you just werenโt being quiet,โ Capa corrected.
โThe walls here are too damn thin,โ Cora muttered.
Capa had a small smile as he straightened up and walked off, pausing just before he exited the room. He turned around, staring blankly at Cassie as he spoke.
โIโm not upset or anything,โ he said. โAnd besides, your friend over there knows itโs not true, soโฆโ
He left, taking with him all the air in the room. Cassie and Cora stared at each other, eyes wide in disbelief, and then pointed their gaze at you.
โYou fucked Capa?!โ Cassie shouted.
โCassie, hush,โ Cora snapped. She leaned in. โBut seriously, we need all the details. Spill.โ
You buried your face in your hands, trying in vain to hide your embarrassment. Your two friends badgered you relentlessly, begging for the whole story behind how it happened.
Somewhere else in the ship, Capa smirked.

โYeah I know, but everyone else is busy.โ
โIโm busy.โ He retorted.ย
โWith what exactly?โ You waited and he huffed, rolling his eyes, making you smirk. โItโll be quick.โ
โFine.โ You led him through the long hallways before finally stopping outside of a door. You used your key to open it, then stepped inside, and he waited impatiently for what you wanted to show him.ย
โI just need you to double check this for me. Better safe than sorry, you know?โ He mumbled out an agreement, then stepped closer, trying to see. When he still couldnโt quite make it out, he stepped forward even more and your stomach dropped as the light quickly left the room, followed by the door clicking shut.ย
โFuck! Capaโ this door locks!โ You all but yelled, panic filling your chest.ย
โWhat?โย
โWeโre trapped, you fucking idiot,โ
โHey, this is not my fault. You couldโve told me.โ You could hear the handle violently jiggling as he tried to open it, despite what you just said. With the door now closed, you couldnโt even turn around to face him because of how small the space was. โWho else did you ask to help you before me?โย
โNot enough people for them to realize we're missing anytime soon.โ He cursed under his breath and you let out a heavy sigh. There wasnโt a light in this โroomโ so he couldnโt even look at what you originally came down here for, which just made all of this worse.ย
You shifted your weight, trying not to think about how long you might have to stand here without being able to move. Even though you were praying someone would come, you knew deep down that it would take a couple hours at least. You heard him try the handle again before letting out a heavy breath. You were silent, trying to think of something to say or if you should even say anything at all. When his breathing picked up, you paused, listening for a few more seconds just to be sure.ย
โI hope youโre not claustrophobic.โ You said, mostly teasingly.ย
โThatโs not the problem right now.โ He muttered, making your brows furrow in confusion. He cursed under his breath and you waited for him to elaborate on what the problem was. Instead, his hands just barely brushed your hips, making you stiffen. When he grabbed them lightly, your breath caught in your throat.ย
โWhat are you doing?โ You couldnโt hide the slight quaver in your voice. He ignored you and started rubbing up and down your sides. โStop it.โ You warned, trying to bat his hands away, but barely being able to in the small space. You suddenly felt his breath on your shoulder and he dragged his nose up your neck, inhaling deeply.ย
โCapa?โ You whispered, stomach knotting with fear. He let out a low groan and suddenly gripped your hips, hard enough to make you wince, to keep you from moving.ย
โIโm sorry.โ He muttered. Before you could ask what that meant, he was shoving your pants and underwear down, making you yelp and try to pull them back up. His were next, pushing the clothing down just enough to free his cock.ย
โWait,โ You tried thrashing, but he pushed you forward against the wall and grabbed your hips again to limit your movement. โCapa, stop!โ You felt his cock brush your hole and you stiffened. He moved one hand to line up his cock and the other to cover your mouth.ย
He applied some pressure, but wasnโt able to push in, so he used more force until he finally breached your hole. You let out a hoarse scream behind his hand, feeling your eyes burn with tears. That was nothing compared to the burning between your legs though.ย
โFuckโ Iโm sorry. I just need thisโฆโ He said through a breath, only staying still for a moment before starting a brutal pace, making your tears fall. He rutted into you and the hand not on your mouth wrapped around your stomach, holding you still. You clawed at both of his hands and arms, trying to get him to release you. Instead, he just groaned at the pain and fucked you harder.ย
โI knowโฆ Iโm sorry.โ He said, as if that could make up for anything. You sobbed violently behind his hand and that only seemed to encourage him, making him fuck you even rougher. โFuck youโre so tight.โ He whispered, hot breath fanning your ear. โYou feel so fucking goodโฆ godโ itโs been so long.โย
He humped into you desperately, chasing his own pleasure and ignoring your muffled cries. Even though your body was starting to adjust to make this easier, it still hurt like hell and you already knew you werenโt going to be able to sit comfortably for at least a day or two. He groaned and cursed against your ear as he tightened his grip, fucking you more frenzied now.ย
โOh fuckโ Iโm already closeโฆ I have to fill you.โ He said lowly. You let out the loudest scream so far. โI know, Iโm sorry, I just need it so fucking bad. I need to come in a tight, hot pussy, I canโt take it anymore.โ He whined, holding you tighter. You let out a stifled sob and shook your head.ย ย
โIโm sorry,โ He moaned, thrusts becoming more forceful and desperate, โI canโt stopโ I canโt pull out, Iโm so sorry.โ You tried to scream protests at him from behind his hand but nothing you said was coherent.ย
He moaned out one last apology before his hips snapped forward, burying his cock deep enough to make your cervix ache. He humped into you as he rode it out, groaning against your ear and squeezing your body tight enough to almost hurt. You felt his cock twitching as warmth filled you, making you let out a strangled whimper. The hand on your mouth dropped so that his arm wrapped around your chest instead, still holding you against his body as you cried silently.ย
โIโm sorry.โ He whispered, one last time.ย

day twenty: mutual masturbation with robert capa
pairing: Robert Capa x f!Reader
word count:ย 719
warnings: making out, masturbation, not reallyyyyyyy canon compliant (I do what I want๐),ย
a/n: My schedule got all fucked! I will still be finishing out kinktober, there's just a huge chance it will go into November. And that's okay! I really liked this prompt. Robert is just so... Yeah
kinktober masterlist
Being aboard the Icarus II had its faults, one of them was being stuck on the craft with Robert Capa. Your quarters were next to his, making it too easy to become friends. The entire crew was close enough, but you and Capa were inseparable. The sexual tension between the two of you was one that was often ignored. Everyone sensed it, but you all had an unspoken agreement, donโt fuck another crew member.ย
Thatโs why it wasnโt an issue you were currently in his quarters, kissing him with the intensity of someone who had not been touched in years. He grabbed your face as he kissed you. You pulled away just enough to whisper โWe canโtโฆโ He responded โI know,โ hushed and quiet, โbut I need to touch you.โ He let out a breathy sigh as his hand reached under your shirt, feeling up your right breast as he felt his pants getting tighter.ย
You reached underneath his shirt, needing the contact. He took it off and your fingers spread across his chest. He grabbed the hem of your shirt, pulling it up and over your head.ย
โRobert, we really canโt,โ you said.
โI know, I know,โ he sighed, โbut we can try something else. No sex. Just touching.โ He looked at you expectantly. You nodded slowly, and once you fully understood what he meant you pulled him into a kiss again. He broke away only to strip down as quickly as possible, and you did the same.ย
He laid back on the bed and you straddled him. This, in hindsight, was not the best idea. His cock brushed against your clit, causing you to shiver. You tried your luck and bucked your hips to cause some friction. You leaned down to kiss him. His hands landed on your hips, stopping your movements. โFuck, thatโs. Thatโs too much. Too close,โ he whispered.ย
You knew he was right. you stayed still, waiting for his next move. โHow about you come here next to me?โ He gestured to the spot next to him with his head. You got off him and laid in the open space next to him. You watched as he grasped his cock, slick with the wetness that was left on him from you, and stroked. โFuck, Capaโฆโ Your fingers slid down to your wet hole and brought them back to your clit. He watched with lidded eyes as you rubbed your clit in circles. He used his precum to lube himself up, continuing to slowly stroke himself.ย
โCapa, can I touch you?โ
โPlease,โ he said.ย
You reached over and wrapped your soft hand around him, making him gasp. The sensation of having someone else touch him was something he had been craving for too long. He reached over and moved your hand away from your pussy, replacing it with his. His hand worked quickly. He felt it was his duty to make you feel as good as he did at that moment. He watched as his fingers sunk into you. You moaned his name and grabbed onto his arm.
โCapa, can I please put you in my mouth?โ, you begged.
He choked on its breath, โNo. Against the rules.โ He kissed you, holding your head so you couldnโt pull away. His hips bucked up as he used your hand as his own personal sex toy.ย
You moaned and your back arched as he curled his fingers. You managed to pull away from the kiss. โAnd this isnโt against the rules?โ
โNo, this is just giving a friend a helping hand.โย
You felt yourself getting close. He took his fingers out and went back to rubbing your clit. He was struggling to keep quiet and bit his hand to shut himself up. Your breathing was uneven as you came. Somehow, you stayed mostly silent, letting out a quiet moan as you squeezed your eyes shut. You watched as he came on his stomach. He groaned and tried to regulate his breathing, smirking as he looked at you. He pulled you in for a kiss and you straddled him again, wanting to press your body against his.ย
He pulled away and you kissed his neck, โDo you think itโs against the rules to do this again?โ
You looked at him and smiled โNo. I donโt think it is.โ

January 2024
I'm so glad that 2023 ended... I hope this year is so much better for everyone.
I didn't expect last month's list to be well received. I just wanted to show my admiration and gratitude to all those incredible writers. So there was no need to thank me for being included in the list, since recommending your stories is the least I can do as a reader.
Your writing is wonderful. Some of the things I've read this month have left me speechless, I didn't expect to find in a fic the quality of something that should be published instead.
Thank you for sharing your stories, for dedicating your time to writing, and for offering readers (for free) these masterpieces.
You can find the previous list here.
(If you are in this list and don't want to be in it let me know, please).

idek what to title this, iโve been procrastinating and iโve been thinking about capa so now weโre here.
prompt: needy reader and needy capa get it on (18+, MINORS DNI !!)
WARNINGS: kind of subby!capa ?? (heโs just so horny), oral (f receiving), veryyyyy temporary mutual masturbation, unprotected sex (p in v)
*not proofread*
it had been months, no, years, since youโd been intimate with anyone. prior to joining icarus II, you werenโt exactly getting too much action. but now that youโre out in space with limited people and a very stressful job at hand? you had essentially become celibate, whether you liked it or not.
it was easy to manage at first. no one on board really peaked your interestโ besides capa. heโs handsome, smart, funny if heโs in the right mood, overall not too shabby. and since you had very few others to gawk at, it made capa stand out a lot more.
the harder you started to crush on capa, the more difficult things became. not only could you not have sex, you could barely get off. the only true privacy you get is in the shower and even then you can only be in there for a limited time, so thereโs no point in wasting water.
then when you were assigned to work with capa full time, you reached your tipping point. youโd spend hours alone with him, working, sometimes talking, but working for the most part.
but, during an unusually slow and boring day, you and him talked for what felt like hours. you even got comfortable enough to open up about your desire for intimacy, although you hoped that it wouldnโt come off as to desperate or โsluttyโ (as if being a slut really matters at this point in time).
capa opened up too, he wasnโt as open as you were willing to be, but he was vulnerable enough. heโd been struggling too. really, everyone was probably struggling in that sense, but it felt nice to be validated by capa in a way.
things started to get a bit โplayfulโ between you and capa, you kept it hidden as best you could, but when you were alone together you were sweet and a bit affectionate. of course, nothing wild, but little things like playing footsie, hand holding, even hugs. thatโs all you allowed yourself to indulge in for the first little while.
but one night, when everyone was asleep, you and capa snuck into a vacant observation room. initially, you had intentions of only talking, but that was shut down almost immediately.
you and capa giggled like children as you locked the door behind you, feeling a rush of adrenaline despite not doing anything explicitly wrong. as you place your back against the wall while smiling kindly at capa, you notice his demeanour has changed. he isnโt giggling, and heโs still smiling, but for a different reason.
โyou know, iโve been thinking ..โ capa murmurs as he slinks his body closer, leaning on his shoulder directly beside you. โif weโre smart about this, i think we can both get something that we want. and no one would have to know.โ
โwhat do you mean?โ you question with a confused face, although you already have an inkling as to what heโs hinting at.
capa smirks and caresses your palm with the pads of his fingers โyou know ..โ
your eyes go wide at his confirmation. you want to feel him so badly, but itโs too risky. a moment of pleasure doesnโt outweigh a lifetime of regret.
โcapa, i donโt know if we should ..โ you whisper, fighting your urge to push him down and fuck him right then and there.
โwe can be good about this!โ he pleads, inching himself closer and turning his body to where his chest is nearly touching yours. โweโll be fine, youโre a smart girl, arenโt you?โ
you feel yourself becoming flustered, you struggle to look capa in the eyes. theyโve become darker, slowly but surely filling with lust.
โi am.โ you reply with a swallow,
โyes, you are.โ he agrees, brushing stray hairs from out of your face. โso come on. and weโll probably work better without all this pent up energy, huh?โ
your heart starts to race and a heat between your legs begins to form, โyeah .. that makes sense ..โ
โmhm.โ he purrs, his body now flush against yours, you can feel his bulge straining through the fabric. โcan i kiss you?โ
you nod, lips slightly agape. he brings his lips to yours, moaning quietly at the sensation of your soft lips against his. the kiss quickly becomes heated with capa trailing his hands down your body. his touches are sexual, but they have a hint of curiosity to them. itโs been so long since heโs been this close to a woman.
how they feel, how they taste, how they smell, heโd almost started to forget it. but with you here, itโs all flooding back to him now, and he can tell his body is slipping into a primal-like overdrive. he feels your pheromones are nearly intoxicating to him.
โfeel like a teenager again ..โ capa giggles breathlessly between kisses. you decide to get handsy as well and place your hands on his back, feeling up his shoulder blades and spine.
โfuck ..โ he mewls, โneed more ..โ
he dropped to his knees and began to pull your shorts and underwear down, promptly revealing yourself to him. you hadnโt been anticipating any sort of sexual contact, so you werenโt exactly groomed to your liking. if you had known this was going to happen you wouldโve shaved for him, but alas.
โiโm sorry iโm not exactly .. bald ..โ your voice trails off as you blush, dancing around what you actually wanted to say. you were afraid the faint hair may put him off, but it didnโt, not in the slightest.
โi donโt care .. fuck, i donโt care ..โ he groaned, nearly whining at the simple sight of you being bare right in front of his eyes. he runs his dry hands up your thighs, gripping the soft skin gently. while panting from pure arousal, he begins to kiss your thighs, occasionally looking up at you with an infatuated glare in his eye. like you were some sort of god to him at that moment.
โyouโre a woman.โ he breathed, it rolled off his tongue like a praise. he continued to kiss along your thighs, inching closer and closer to your aching core. it had been so long since youโd been touched, let alone ate out. your knees nearly gave out from anticipation.
you card your fingers through his hair as you watch him, his breath getting heavier and heavier with each passing moment. while making eye contact with you, he begins to kiss your needy cunt. slowly switching from wet pecks to desperate licks. he moaned at your taste, gripping your ass as he pushed your hips against his face harder.
โc-capa-โ you whimper at his eagerness and the sudden wave of pleasure. with a hum, he brought his tongue to your hole to lap up any and all of your spilling arousal, using his nose to stimulate your clit.
โtastes fuckinโ incredible ..โ he admitted, quickly resuming his licks and sucks. what he lacked in skill he made up for in passion and eagerness, he wanted to make you feel so good, and it was clear by the way he whined and huffed against you.
โi missed having good pussy on my tongue.โ he chuckled, smacking your ass playfully. you yelp at the slight sting, but it quickly shifts into a moan as he nips at your sensitive inner thighs. โi could eat you all goddamn night, but i need a little relief of my own, baby.โ
you feel yourself becoming slicker as capa begins to tug off his pants, his flushed member standing to attention. as soon as his cock is freed, he begins to weakly pump it for you. his eyes scanning up and down your body as he basks in your feminine presence.
copying his behaviour, you slowly begin to play with your clit, watching how he sighs and slouches at the gesture, clearly enjoying the show.
โcould i ride you?โ you blurt out, almost embarrassingly fast, your arousal clouding your thought process. no point in pretending anymore, you want to fuck him and you want to do it now.
โfuck, please.โ he begs, he sounds pathetic, but that only further enables your arousal, knowing you have a man on his knees begging for you.
you push his shoulders back gently so heโs laying against the cold floor, as he lays back you straddle his lap and begin to roll your hips against his member. you and capa both moan at the sensation, capa balls his fists up and begins to rut against you as well. at this point, youโre just grinding against each other raw.
โbaby ..โ he pants, dipping his head back for a moment. your stomach tingles at the pet name. โif we keep doing this โm gonna come.โ
while biting your lip, you raise your hips and align his tip with your opening, teasing him slightly before lowering yourself down into him. you gasp at the fullness, while capa groans at your warmth.
โcould i-i, fuck, could i see your tits?โ he whines as he involuntarily thrusts up into you, he feels like he canโt control himself at this point. every ounce of his being is burning with arousal.
you lift your hips up and ride him, meeting his thrusts. while you ride him, you shakily lift up your top. you leave the shirt on but bundle up the fabric above your tits, for some reason it feels hotter that way.
capa groans and plants his feet on the floor, holding your hips in place as he fucks up into you harshly.
โo-oh fu-uck!โ you sob as capa pounds into that sensitive spot from within you, hastily you bring your hand between your legs to rub your clit. both of you knew this wouldnโt last long, so you just want to enjoy it while you can.
capa feels like his brain is melting, he doesnโt know where to look. he can either watch your tits bounce with each thrust, he can watch your pretty little face contort with pleasure, or he can watch his cock slide in and out of your heavenly cunt. he canโt settle on one, so he eagerly switches between each of them.
โyouโre so fuckinโ wet ..โ he choked as he watched his member glisten with your arousal. since being on icarus II, capa began to dream of situations like this. it was normally faceless women, but he was absolutely feigning for some tight wet pussy, despite how much he tried to hide it.
โdonโt stopโ please ..โ you huff. you know capa wonโt stop, heโs too far gone to quit now, yet the words still fell from your mouth. you havenโt felt so good in so long, you donโt want it to end.
โwonโt stop.โ capa slurs as his thighs shake from exhaustion, โfuck. canโt stop stop, baby, feels too fucking good.โ
your orgasm begins to build up from within you. both you and capa are shaky, sweaty, desperate, and close. you place a hand behind you for stability and dig your nails into capaโs knee as he thrusts into you, your other hand still stimulating your clit as best you can.
capas cheeks are flushed, his pupils are blown, and plush lips hang agape. you want to tell him he looks gorgeous, but you canโt seem to find the words to at the moment.
โโm getting close.โ he hissed as his grip on your hips got tighter, โcome on my cock. please, baby. i need to feel it. please.โ capa rambles mindlessly, youโve felt like an absolute dream the entire time but the sight and sensation of you coming undone on his cock would be the cherry on top.
โyes, yes, yes-โ you gasp as your orgasm finally breaks through you, the stimulation on your clit comes to a stop but capa continues to fuck into you as you come for him. you release a loud, guttural moan at the pleasure. mere seconds after, capas whining beneath you about how close he is and how pretty you look when you come.
after pulling out, capa feverishly pumps himself and quickly spills his load onto your ass and his thighs while groaning and whimpering.
you shakily slide off his lap and sit on the cold floor beside him. while attempting to fix your appearance, you both giggle at what you had just done. since it had been so long, it felt almost innocent. just two desperate people who wanted to feel each others bodies.
โcan we do this again tomorrow?โ capa asks while attempting to catch his breath
โtomorrow?โ you raise your brows, โyou want to make this a routine?โ
capa laughs, โyou shouldnโt have given me a taste, baby, now iโm going to keep crawling back for more.โ
โ
sorry, had horny capa thoughts, can you really blame me tho.

Made For You
"I've been loved before, but right now in this moment, I feel more and more like I was made for you."
A oneshot based off the song Halley's Comet by Billie Eillish. Was inspired to write this back in February of 2023 thanks to @cillmequick's House Party Event. This has been stewing in my brain for nearly a YEAR and I'm finally writing it! Thank you for the muse and for introducing me to this song, Alex! <3
Pairing: Robert Capa x Reader
Fandom: Sunshine (2007)
Warnings: angst, lots of angst, some fluff?, childhood friends to lovers trope
WC: ~2620
Time always ran different here, beneath the blanket of shattered stars and hollow black sky.
Youโd lost track of the hours youโd spent, lost in them, eyes tracing each constellation but mostly lingering in the gaps between them, the blackness that stretched endlessly into the sky. That spanned between you and the other half of your soul, the boy youโd loved and the man youโd lost.
Sixteen months ago, youโd said goodbye as he boarded his plane. Sixteen months ago, youโd watched the shuttle launch on national television, feeling as though a piece of you had been stripped, raw and bleeding, from your chest.
โSomedayโฆโ heโd said, when you were barely old enough to understand the concepts of space and time.ย โโฆ Iโll be up there, and youโll be down here, and Iโll bring you back one of those stars.โ
Youโd scoffed, and playfully hit him on the arm. โAnd just how are you gonna do that?โ youโd said.
โI donโt know.โ Heโd smiled. โBut Iโll find a way.โ
Sixteen months ago, heโd been sent on a mission to renew the dying sun that plunged the world into a winter so cold, the green of summer turned to a white death, and the waters of the Caribbean nearly froze over.
Shards of ice prickled at the back of your hair, the slight gaps of flushed skin where your scarf and toque left you bare, crystals of snow kissing your cheeks and the cold seeping in past the dampness of your scalp and the down of your parka, but as you shut your eyes, you imagined the snow to be blades of grass. And your fingers, to be digging into the earth instead of the fleece of your mittens.
โYou see that star, right next to the Big Dipper?โ he said, pointing up at the diamonds in the sky. Propped up on one elbow, the warmth of his arm brushed yours in the cool air of the spring night, the sleeve of his shirt tickling your shoulder, his lashes limned like chalk outlines by the soft sheen of the moon.
You opened your eyes, the low rumble of his voice having practically lulled you to sleep. You didnโt get much sleep in those days, when he was in university obtaining his astrophysics degree and you were working early shifts at your dead-end job, when the innocence of childhood was lost to the bitter realities of the world but you had no idea just how empty youโd one day find yourself to be. You still saw glimpses of this innocence on his face, in the grin that stretched his lips across freckled cheeks and the glint of awe in bright blue eyes. You had no idea how lucky you were just to be able to reach out and touch him, to bear witness to these traces of happiness that were tangible and not hidden behind a screen.
You spent almost every night with him beneath the stars. Dreaming of greater things, of the day when youโd both break free of your cages and return to your innocence, when youโd become greater than your past and heโd change the world. When heโd bring you your star and youโd display it in your glass heart.
โMhm.โ Your eyes followed the tip of his finger to a star that gleamed particularly bright.
โThat star died seven-thousand years ago,โ he told you. โItโs so far away, we just canโt see it yet.โ
You scrunched your face and narrowed your eyes, a smile quirking your lip. โThen how come itโs so bright?โ you asked.
His grin softened into an almost sad smile, his hand lowering to the earth and his head turning on his shoulder to lock bright eyes with yours. Your breath hitched in your chest, and for one moment so fleeting you couldโve imagined it, you thought his gaze darted to the parting of your lips.
โLight does not always equate to life,โ he told you. And each day onward, you would ponder the mysterious woe laced in a silk tone.
Your warm palm cupped your face, mitten cast aside, the brush of your cold fingers laying a kiss to your tear-streaked lips. Muffling the choked sobs that rose from a chest void of hope and full of shattered dreams and shattered glass.
Here you lay, in your cage, your tomb. Not knowing if youโd ever see him again, not knowing if youโd have the chance to tell him that youโd broken your promise.
โWhat is it?โ His soft voice was laden with worry as you buried your face in the warmth of his chest, and his arms wrapped tentatively around your back.
โIt was all a lie,โ you sobbed weakly, his shirt damp with your tears. โHe broke up with me.โ
โOh,โ he said, his thumb tracing small circles along your spine.
You sank into his chest, weighing heavy against him, knees shaking beneath you. He kept you standing, allowing your tired body some respite. Thinking that when you were done crying, he might be able to tell you a story that would tempt you to sleep and you wouldnโt feel the crash of pain against your ribs anymore.
โIโm worthless,โ you whispered. โHe said so himself, he never wanted meโฆโ
โWhat?โ His reaction was so sudden, so sharp, you nearly flinched, sobs stilling as they rose to your chest. Damp threads of hair clung to his shirt, splintering the blurry visage of his freckled cheeks and dark, messy hair as he pushed you softly back to look him in bright, blue eyes. His palm cupped your jaw, thumbing at your cheekbone as he said,
โYouโre not worthless. Youโre โ โ
โNo. No.โ Shaking your head, your eyes gleamed with pain as you began to plead with your friend. โPromise me, Robbie, that youโll never fall in love with me, and I promise the same. I hate thisโฆ this feeling in my chest, like I canโt breathe, likeโฆโ You chuffed out a nervous laugh. โโฆ I donโt know. I just donโt wanna feel this again. I donโt wanna lose you, too.โ
Robert had stared back at you, silent for a while, the bright of his eyes fading ever-so-slightly. You wondered, for a moment, what heโd been about to say before you'd cut him off, until he pulled you to his chest and murmured in your ear,
โI promise.โ
And each day onward, he would keep his promise, watching through high school as you would try to date dumb boys and lend a shoulder to cry on when youโd denounce each one, and after graduation came and went and heโd break up with his own sweetheart, heโd tell you it was because he wanted to focus on his studies. ย ย ย
How had you been so blind, you thought to yourself. How had you not realised that each relationship youโd sabotaged hadnโt been because of your trust issues, or your self-esteem. It had been because the only guy youโd ever wanted had been right there, letting you sob into his shirt and stare up at the stars with you and tell you about all the things youโd both achieve when you were older.
And now that you were older and wiser, you cursed your foolish heart that bled like the stars across the hollowness of the black sky. Blinking away tears that clung, cold, to your flushed cheeks, you tried to chase away the sobs that echoed through the abyss that stretched from one rib to another.
What a fool you were, to fall in love with nothing but stardust.ย
You reached a hand up to the stars as if you could pull them down from the sky, let them spill over you in thousands of glittering lights, make a halo of them until they burned away the snow and brought forth a blue-eyed angel from the white fire.
His transmission came to you when the darkness was just beginning to peel away from the dying light over the horizon, when what was left of the sun began to usurp the night, snaking its tendrils of rose-gold through the black canvas sky.
You swore that his hair had grown longer since the last time heโd sent a message, darkly framing the sides of his pale neck. Those blue eyes stared back at you from the artificial light of your phone, stirring something within the hollowness of your chest. Something warm, like hope.
โIโฆ donโt think thereโs really any easy way to say this,โ he said. Your hope seemed to sink to your stomach.
Robert cupped his hands over his mouth, as if in prayer, and those piercing blue eyes stared back at you for what must have been an eternity, something cruel and malignant weaving tightly in your gut. You longed for that gaze to rest on you again, to be able to reach out and run your fingers through his messy brown locks, to wipe away the tear that beaded on his lower lash. He scarcely cried, always so stoic. That was how you knew that something was truly, dreadfully wrong.
That youโd realised too little, too late, that you were made for him, and him for you.
โThere are only a few of us left,โ he said, clearing his throat as his hands came down from his chapped lips. โSome miscalculations were made, and at this point, we only have enough oxygen to deliver the payload. It takes exactly eight minutes for light to travel from the sun to the earth, and soโฆ if one day youโre watching the stars and you see the sun rise with a little extra brightness, youโll know we made it.โ He swallowed again, Adamโs apple bobbing along his throat. โBut youโll know that Iโmโฆโ His words were breaking now, just like the sobs that wracked your chest.
โโฆย I wish there was an easier way to say this, dear Godโฆโ his voice tapered into a mere whisper, and he ran a hand over his face. Blue irises were rimmed by red, fatigue and sadness showing through the cracks. โThereโs no easy way to say this to you, of all people.โ
Your heart stopped in your chest. You sucked in a breath of frozen air, tickling your burning lungs.
โYou know that Iโll be gone,โ he said at last. โOnly stardust.โ His lip quirked into a sad, almost ironic smile, and he said, โI did this for you, Y/N. So that someday, those things we talked about under the starsโฆ someday youโd be able to achieve those things, in a world that isnโt dying.โ
He paused again, his emotion clawing its way thick into his throat with the way his words came out so strangulated. โI wanted you to know, Iโm sorry for breaking our promiseโฆ Iโm sorry for falling in love with you, Y/N. But up hereโฆ with the stars and the blackness and thisโฆ impossibly bleak dread, this knowing for once that anything I do or say wonโt matter because everything will be gone, including youโฆ โ He shook his head, inhaling sharply, and your breath caught in your chest. โโฆ I loved you since we were kids, and I never told you and I wish I had. Believe me, I wish I had.โ
You wanted to reach out and comfort him, run a finger along his freckled cheek, to pull him into your arms as he had you countless times. You wanted to tell him it was okay, that youโd broken your promise, too, and it was all your fault, really, for not realising sooner that you were made for him. That he shouldnโt blame himself for any of it because it was you who shouldโve said something, you who shouldโve kissed him that night he boarded his plane.
โSo, I guess Iโll be seeing you in a few years,โ he said, swallowing hard against his throat as baby blue eyes looked at you with some unexplainable emptiness that you were unable to identify. It was the same look heโd given you so many times before, and yet, despite knowing him better than you knew yourself, you still couldnโt quite put your finger on what the mysterious emotion or reason behind it was.
โSoon,โ you corrected him, fighting back tears. Sniffling, from the cold or your own emotions you could tell not. โIโll be seeing you soon, okay?โ You squeezed his arm, if only to ground yourself, to remind yourself in the years to come that he was tangible, that he existed not only in your mind.
He nodded, smile playing sadly at his mouth. โSoon,โ he repeated.
You had drawn so close to him that his familiar scent engulfed you, took you away from the bustle of the airport and drowned out all the noise. Your tongue darted to wet your lips as you glanced down at his, a few threads of some strange yearning tugging at the empty of your chest in that moment. You were so close, yet, not enough. This feeling, of needing to be closer, of needing to express your affection in more than words and friendly touch, was foreign to you, and you werenโt sure what to do with it.
For one moment, you thought that you mightโve kissed him.
Cheeks flushing in embarrassment, you chastised yourself. The last thing he needed was for you to complicate things on the last day youโd see each other for so long, and so you pushed the childish notion from your brain and you smiled past your anguish and you bid him farewell.
And each day onward, you felt as though you had left things incomplete, this emptiness spanning wider between each rib, like a black hole that swept away all joy and feeling and semblance of being human.
โIโm so sorry,โ you whispered into your balled fist, fingers trembling from the cold. You blinked away your tears so you could see him better for the last time, capture his image in your mind before your angel burned his wings for flying too close to the sun.
That sad, ironic smile tugged at the corner of his lip again, and he said, โI always promised Iโd bring you a star.โ
Your shaking hand tucked your phone back in your pocket as the video ended, and you didnโt even silence your cries as you wept to the heavens, wanting them to hear of your anguish and your loss.
And slowly, after what must have been hours or perhaps minutes, in this plane of altered reality where time ran differently beneath your blanket of stars, your sobs came weaker from your chest, and a warm glow painted the backs of your dark eyelids. The harsh cold had frozen your lashes together, and you blinked, pulling them back to witness the sunโs conquest over the night, the tendrils of pink and orange turning to a fierce gold that you hadnโt seen in years.
You stood, slipping your mitten back over your damp, shaking hand, and trudged, weary and sleepless, through the snow. Your eyes burned, squinting against the swell of the sun, unaccustomed to the brilliance of its lost light. Your heart still clenched, bleeding, shatters of glass falling to the vacuous pit between your ribs, but you couldnโt help but stop for a moment and just look.
Warmth caressed your face, chasing away the bite of the cold, reminding you of spring, of slushy snowball fights with Robert and picking flowers by the local stream.
โLight does not always equate to life,โ he'd told you, all those years ago as you'd laid beneath the stars.
And with this pain searing white-hot in your soul and your chest torn empty, and the burning warmth of his confessed love shattering your heart to cold glass, you finally understood.
But despite your pain, it was beautiful.

Sunspots
Fandom: Sunshine (2007)
Pairing: Robert Capa x fem!reader
Word count: 6,400+
Characters: Robert Capa (Cillian Murphy), the rest of the cast is only mentioned.
Summary: Alternate universe (duh). Reader is the 9th crew member on the Icarus II as a second physicist assigned to assist Capa; she and Capa started dating at some point during the mission. But, in this story, the mission was successful, and everyone lived to make it back to Earth; the reader and Capa have been together ever since. The story takes place during a solar eclipse two or three years or so after they make it back to Earth, and as to be expected, Capa is excited about and fascinated by the eclipse, and so is the reader. He is set on making it a beautiful and romantic experience for her, especially since it was because of them that they can see it from Earth.
Warnings and additional tags: Fluff, smut (p in v), established relationship, mention of masturbation (m and f), the mission is successful in this (everyone makes it back to Earth in one piece), soft!dom Capa if you squint, Capa is slightly out of character in this (he's happy, he's deeply in love with the reader, and he's a little bit of a tease), mention of airsickness, reader-insert, reader-interactive, reader uses Capa's first name a few times, Capa calls the reader "sunshine" (I think it's fucking cute okay? Sue me. I'm just a girl.).
Notes: This is my first fic in literal years, and it is in two parts...both are in this post. I took a lot of liberties here. Necessary ones I think, but liberties nonetheless. I donโt know a lot about space and space travel. I know very little about it actually. However, I did do some research (if you could call it that) and tried to make it as accurate to the movie as I could. I had a ton of fun writing this! I miiiiiiiiight add to this later on, we'll see! I hope you guys like it!
--->Smut below the cut! NSFW, minors DO NOT INTERACT!<---
He had been planning this for months. Years, to be exact. Up until now, he was convinced that if he made it back in one piece, he would have been alone.
Capa had spent over a year cramped up on the Icarus II with eight other crew members. Kaneda, Searle, Trey, Corazon, and Cassie seemed to take him seriously a good chunk of the time, but stayed mostly neutral towards him. Harvey and Mace tended to direct a lot of their anger towards him. Whether it was out of jealousy, anxiety, or whatever else, it didnโt matter what their reasoning behind ganging up on the lead physicist was. Despite their unfounded animosities, it was Capaโs stellar bomb that would reignite the Sun and save humanity from extinction. Even though tensions were understandably high, Capa was the only person aboard the Icarus II who knew the gravity and the importance of the mission they were tasked with carrying out. In other words, he was the only one who knew how to operate the device to perform such a miracle. It was really no surprise to anyone that they put Capa in charge of the payload; he understood the mission better than anyone else on the ship, and it showed. Mace and Harvey began to back off once it finally began to sink in that their lives depended on Capa, and because of that, they should take it easy on him. Try to, at least.
Of all the other astronauts on the Icarus II, Capa felt the closest to Y/L/N, the second physicist, a young woman wise beyond her years who was assigned to work alongside Capa. She was a bit younger than him and the rest of the crew, but she proved to have a level-headed way of looking at things, while also presenting herself with an air of cautious optimism. Her grace and appreciation of everything each of the members were doing drew Capa to her, something that initially made him nervous. She captivated him in a mysterious but welcome way, and she was nowhere near immune to his unique allure and quiet charm.
She would watch him in awe as he spoke, completely entranced by his intelligence. Every word he said, every move he madeโฆshe felt it in her heart, and deep in her core. After watching her perform her duties effortlessly without ever faltering once, Capa began to feel at ease with her, and he caught himself quietly thanking the forces that be for pairing the two of them together.
It took a lot of effort on his part to keep his composure around her, and little did he know, it was just as difficult for her to behave herself around him. He knew he was falling for her, and he tried to keep it down as long as he possibly could, just in case his feelings for her werenโt reciprocated. Even though she did feel the same way about him, she made a valiant effort to stay focused on the tasks at hand, despite the ever-looming temptation.
She and Capa grew close after spending hours alone working out equations or going over calculations, and even just spending whatever free time they had talking about anything and everything, but nothing too wild or personal just yet. After one particularly restless night, she left her quarters and came out to the common area to find Capa at the table, his head in his hands. He noticed her and lifted his face to look at her, a faint smile escaping his lips.
โOh, hey. I take it you couldnโt sleep either?โ Capa asked her, rubbing the tiredness from his eyes as he shifted in his seat. She looked absolutely beautiful to him, still in her sleep clothes that fit her perfectly, the fabric slightly revealing but leaving just enough to the imagination, her hair down and slightly tousled. His gaze accidentally drifted to her thighs and hips, and he looked away suddenly, focusing back on her face. Capa was trying hard to keep his cool as she stood in front of him, fighting back thoughts of how much better those clothes would look on his bedroom floor. He struggled to push the thought away, and was internally failing miserably at it.
She also felt an all-too-familiar feeling between her legs seeing Capa sitting there in his gray tank top shirt, his hair falling on his shoulders in the sexiest way possible. She couldnโt help but notice his well-defined arms, and traced the path of his veins with her eyes. She tried not to stare at him, and swallowed before she answered. โYeah, unfortunately. A lot to do, a lot to think about, you know?โ she answered back as she walked over to the table to sit down next to him. โDo you mind if I sit with you for a while?โ
He motioned for her to sit down, welcoming her. โOh no, not at all, the company would be nice. And yes, youโre right, thereโs tons to think about for sure.โ He sat up straighter and turned to face her better as he cleared his throat quietly, still fighting with his wandering mind.
She let out a small breath of relief before she sat down. She turned toward him and continued to speak. โWhatโs on your mind?โ she asked. Even though she was concerned and was aware he was under an insane amount of pressure, she knew Capa had everything under control, and she trusted his judgment completely. โWe can talk about it if youโd like.โ
He takes a deep breath before answering her. โI guess itโs just nerves. You and I have run the calculations countless times now, and weโre on the correct path with everything, the payload is operational and all thatโฆbut Iโm still a bit anxious about it. Itโs nothing crazy, but, you knowโฆโ his voice trails off before looking into her eyes. โI just hope everything goes to plan, thatโs all. I donโt think we have any reason to think it wonโt, but still.โ
She looked back at Capa. โOh believe me, I totally understand.โ She moves closer to him in an attempt to reassure him as she rests her hand on his. โBut hey, I have faith that we can get it done and all will be well with the universe.โ She smiled. โYouโre doing amazing, by the way.โ
Capa began to blush as he smiled back, softly but warmly. โAww, thanks. Just doing my job.โ He turned his hand over under hers, holding it gently as their fingers tangled together. โYouโre doing great, too. Weโre so lucky to have you with usโฆwith me.โ His heart skipped a beat. He couldnโt believe he said that out loud, but he didnโt bother trying to go back on it either. โI know I am.โ His ocean blue eyes looked at her face, searching for any sign of discomfort or apprehension. He was relieved to find neither in her expression, just her smiling and blushing back at him.
She felt his words deep inside her as if a bomb on a much smaller scale was going off within her chest, and his words almost didnโt register with her right away. She smiled and blushed deeply before continuing. โThatโs very sweet of you to sayโฆthank you,โ she answered. Despite the fact that they have spent a lot of time alone together in recent weeks, the tension in the room was noticeably thickerโฆso thick that you could slice it in the air with a scalpel. โI try my best. Itโs all I can do, really.โ She held onto his hand a little tighter as they gazed into each otherโs eyes.
Capa broke the brief silence. โHeyโฆโ he began, speaking warily but keeping his smile. โThereโs been something Iโve been meaning to ask you. Iโve been waiting for the right time, and Iโm not quite sure when that would be or would have beenโฆI hope you wonโt take it the wrong way.โ
She looked back at Capa, curious but cautious. โSure, you can ask me anything. Whatโs up?โ He returned the gentle squeeze of her hand and softly grazed his thumb over her knuckles.
Capa took a deep breath, and looked away from her for a split second before directing his focus right back on her. He could feel his face getting warmer, his fair-skinned face turning a faint pink. He hesitated for a beat before throwing caution to the wind to speak his mind.
โWellโฆyou know how weโve been spending a lot of time together lately? Not just on protocol and calculations and whatever elseโฆbut in general?โ He continued to hold her gaze while he waited for her response.
โYeah, of course. Why?โ she asked as she looked at him, still smiling and holding his hand, butterflies forming in her stomach. โIs everything okay?โ she asked, trying to gauge where the conversation is going without assuming anything or jumping to any conclusions.
โOh yeah, everything is fine, all things considered. Amazing, actuallyโฆโ He swallowed quietly before beginning again. โUmโฆI guess what Iโm trying to say isโฆI feel closer to you than anyone else on the shipโฆโ He paused and chuckled nervously before he continued to speak. โItโs been a long time since Iโve felt such a connection to someone. You understand me in a way that everyone else doesnโt, and I really appreciate that. A lot.โ He smiled and blushed deeper.
She smiled and blushed deeper as well. โIโm glad I can make you feel that way.โ She moved closer to him. โI feel the same way about you.โ
He reached his free hand up to gently brush some of her hair out of her face, softly caressing her cheek as he did it. โYouโre justโฆI donโt know what the right word is. Exhilarating? Refreshing, maybe? I guess what I mean to say isโฆโ he trailed off before cupping the side of her face with his hand while holding onto her hand with the other. โIโm falling for you. I meanโฆI have fallen for you. Youโre on my mind constantly.โ He gazed at her for a beat before continuing his thought. โI hope that doesnโt make anything weird or awkward.โ He searched your face again for any opposition. Yet again, he didnโt find any of either.
Capa wasnโt one to divulge his deepest, darkest secrets to anyone, but it took every ounce of his being not to tell her that heโs seen her face behind his eyelids almost every night for the past two or so months, her name in his throat every time his need for her took over. He let it spill all over himself when he couldnโt sleep, which was unfortunately often. She wasnโt going to tell him that she touched herself to the thought of him any time the mood struck her either, soaking her fingers and her sheets beneath her. The two of them, separated only by a thin wall, had been breathing each otherโs names as they reached completion for quite some time, and neither of them had shared any feelings for each other until today. As luck would have it, their feelings were mutual.
She leaned into his hand as she looked back at him. โItโs not weird, I promiseโฆIโve fallen for you too. Iโd be lying if I told you I didnโt.โ She gazed at him, full of love and infatuation. โYouโre all I think about.โ
Capa looked back at her with the same intensity. โYou have no idea how happy I am to hear that,โ he replied. He leaned in closer to her still, less than a foot of space between them. โWhat I really wanted to ask isโฆโ he trailed off as he caressed her cheek and jawline. โI know this isnโt ideal, and Iโm sorry about thatโฆbut I want this mission to continue with no regrets. I would hate myself forever if I never told you how I really feel about you. With that being saidโฆwould you be okay with us seeing where this goes?โ His eyes never left hers as he confessed his love for her. โI want to be with youโฆif youโll have me. Now, and, God willing, after the mission, too.โ
Her heart pounded in her chest as she heard his words. โOf course I will. I want to be with you, too. I want nothing more than to be with you.โ
Capa smiled and let out a sigh of relief before he spoke again. โThank youโฆreally. You mean everything to me, and I want you to know thatโฆIโll never let you forget it.โ He closed any remaining distance between the two of them. He caressed her face tenderly once more. โMay Iโฆ?โ
She smiled at him with admiration and anticipation. โYes, you may.โ
Capa closed his eyes, leaned in, and kissed her gingerly at first, her eyes fluttering shut. She tilted her head as she kissed him back. Their kiss grew more and more passionate as seconds passed. He held her head gently and he ran his fingers through her hair as she wrapped her arms around his neck, their tongues dancing together softly. Capa slowly broke the kiss and opened his eyes. She opened hers as they pulled away, their pupils blown out with love and desire. He wrapped his arms around her as she pulled him into a tight hug, resting her head in the crook of his neck.
โIโve wanted to do that for so longโฆโ he breathed into her hair as he rubbed his hands on her back, inhaling her sweet scent. โThank youโฆI mean it.โ Capa blushed some more as he took another deep breath. โGod, you make me feel like Iโm a teenager again.โ
โMe tooโฆyouโre absolutely lovely,โ she replied, hugging him tighter. โYouโre the man Iโve always dreamed of.โ She broke the hug before looking into his icy blue eyes again. โDoes this mean weโre together?โ she asked, blushing and smiling.
Capa smiled back at her. โIt doesโฆis that okay with you?โ He brushed some of her hair over her shoulder before caressing her face again.
โThat is more than okay with me,โ she answered. โSo, what now?โ
Capa blushed deeper as he smiled. โCome hereโฆโ He stood up from the table and held his hand out for her to take. She accepted his hand and stood up as he put his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck as his plush lips met hers again, kissing her with more intensity and urgency than he had before. She matched his passion as she returned his kiss, tangling her fingers in his long, dark, soft hair.
Noticing her need for him in her movements, Capa moved his kisses from her lips to her chin and jawline, then down along her neck and collarbone, immediately appreciating her reaction as she moaned quietly, tugging on his gray sleeveless shirt. She mused to herself about how effortlessly gorgeous he looked in it again, biting her lip at the thought, instantly reminded of all those nights she fantasized about taking it off of him. Lost in lustful longing, she struggled to get the words out.
โHow did you know that Iโฆmaybeโฆwe should probablyโฆgo somewhere elseโฆโ she whispered in between heavy breaths and soft whimpers. โSomeone might wonderโฆwhat if someone wakes up andโฆโ This is the first time heโd ever kissed her, and he already figured out one of the things that drives her crazy, knocking the air out of her lungs without trying to.
Capa chuckled slyly as he softly shushed her before he agreed. โA wild guess? But yeahโฆgood call.โ He gently pulled her with him towards his small bedroom. โWeโll deal with everyone else later. Youโre all that matters to me right now.โ He opened his door and let her in before shutting it behind him and locking the two of them inside. He looked at her with concern. โAre you okay with this? We donโt have toโฆyou knowโฆif you donโt want toโฆโ His voice was low and seductive as he moved his hands under her shirt, tracing the curve of her spine and her shoulder blades with his fingers.
She spoke as he trailed off. โYes, I want toโฆI want you. Iโm sure about this. Are you?โ she answered, looking back at him lovingly.
โAs sure as Iโm alive,โ Capa answered, smiling back at her with just as much love. โIโve never been more sure of anything in my entire life.โ He kissed her some more before gently pushing her backwards onto his bed and positioned himself between her spread legs as he laid her down.
They spent the rest of the night making love to each other, over and over, drawing out every single moment to make it last as long as possible, and after at least a few hours, they wore each other out completely. Their first entanglement started out slow and sensual until their hunger for each other consumed them. They tried their absolute hardest to keep the noise to a minimum, but that became increasingly difficult for the both of them as their makeout heated up and clothes started to fall away.
Capa was gentle with her for their first time having sex, leaving no part of her untouched or unkissed, committing every inch of her skin to memory as if it was their last night alive. As far as he was aware, the woman underneath him was nothing short of a goddess. She gladly returned the favor, marveling at his incredible beauty. She was completely amazed at how he looked as if he was carved from stone, his whole body breathtakingly perfect to her. As far as they were concerned, it very well could have been their final night together. Neither of them were worried about that now, focusing solely on each other.
She was tight like a vice and sopping wet around him, and he stretched her so deliciously that he would whisper his praises in her ear, encouraging her. Capa made it a habit to cover her mouth as he took her, something she learned to absolutely lose her mind over. If he wasnโt covering her mouth as he brought her to climax, he would make sure to devour her with hot kisses as she contracted around him, bringing his orgasm forth soon after. As much as he would have loved for her to be as loud as she possibly could, Capa found it incredibly sexy and oddly endearing when she struggled to stay quiet under him, her eyes rolling into the back of her head as he poured himself into her.
She was able to rile Capa up in all the best ways possible as well, and he too had some difficulty trying to keep his voice down. One round turned into two, and then threeโฆand on and on until both of them were sore and exhausted. Once they were able to catch their breath, Capa would make sure he didnโt wreck her too much, and if he did, heโd kiss it all away, and she would follow suit. โI love youโ were three little words that neither of them could ever get sick of saying or hearing from the other.
After all of their daily tasks were taken care of for the day, every night on the Icarus II thereafter was spent in each otherโs arms, whether in Capaโs bed or hers. On nights when they werenโt ravishing each other half to death with reckless abandon, she and Capa would lay in bed together and talk about whatever came to mind until they fell asleep tangled up in each other. She and Capa were able to keep their new relationship a secret for about a week maximum before the crew found out on their own. They were delighted to discover that none of the rest of the crew were surprised that they ended up together. There was initially some concern, but ultimately the crew accepted it and let it continue, because they knew that these moments the crew had together could be the last they have with anyone, so who cares if two of the crew members fell in love?
Mace ribbed Capa about his enthusiastic nightly activities with Y/L/N, and it was nice that he wasnโt fighting with him for once. It was hard for him to believe that Capa, the usually soft-spoken physicist, had that effect on Y/L/N. He even mentioned to Cassie that he has never seen Capa smile as much as he did now, and Cassie added that Y/L/N had a glow about her. For someone as quiet and reserved as Capa, Mace found it amusing that his new girlfriend could bring him out of his shell like that, and although he would never admit it, he was glad that it was Y/L/N.
Capa was bashful about discussing his relationship with Y/L/N to the others, shying away from the sexual aspect, but he had no issue praising her and giving her credit when it was due. It was obvious that he was absolutely head over heels for Y/L/N, and she blushed anytime the crew teased her or tried to get her to reveal any juicy details about their rendezvous behind closed cabin doors. They were in love, and it brought a new positive energy to the rest of the mission. Kaneda was thankful that everyone seemed to be getting along better and in good spirits, while Trey and Harvey were indifferent towards the two physicists becoming a couple, but thrilled for them nonetheless.
Searle, being a doctor, wasnโt really concerned with it, but was also excited for them. He pretended not to notice the love marks Capa bit into Y/L/Nโs neck or the faint scratches she had left on Capaโs shoulders, and especially tried to ignore the way Y/L/N would squirm slightly when she sat down. Corazon, happily content that a relationship so strong could come from something so hellish, reminded everyone that they had a surplus of oxygen coming from the garden due to overgrowth. The crew would still have more than enough oxygen to go around, whether Capa and Y/L/N were โfucking like rabbitsโ or not, as Mace put it.
After a few weeks of calculations, trajectory adjustments, and protocols during the day and exploring each other and falling in love more and more at night, Capa led the rest of the crew to carry out the mission successfully. Capa made sure everything was done exactly to plan, and he didnโt do anything without his girl by his side, from the ignition of the bomb all the way through the terrifying trek back to Earth.
It didnโt matter how many times the crew had practiced and prepared for the descent back to solid ground, the airsickness still hit Y/L/N the hardest. It was the part of being an astronaut she hated the most, and she never quite got used to it. Capa was well aware of this having seen her go through it during their zero-gravity training, and he felt bad that it was hard on her. He was one of the lucky ones who could handle it well; the worst of it for him was a slight change in equilibrium that left him briefly lightheaded. But now he took care of her lovingly, holding her hair out of the way and rubbing her back as the nausea won the battle against her, never leaving her side until he knew she was okay.
She was embarrassed about it as it was happening, not wanting anyone to see her so violently ill, but was eventually able to joke about it once the sick, spinning feeling dissipated. All of that initial anxiety melted away knowing her boyfriend was right there beside her, making sure she felt well enough before taking care of any other necessary tasks. He reassured her that a lot of people are really sensitive to it, and that itโs nothing to be ashamed of. In an attempt to make light of the situation, Capa reminded her that the reduced-gravity aircraft they used during their weightlessness training was called the โVomit Cometโ for a reason.
As the Icarus II landed, the crew was met with a massive crowd of people cheering them on, congratulating them on their historic achievement, while also mourning the deaths of the previous Icarus crew. Once everyone was back to their normal selves, or as close to it as possible, Cassie, Mace, Corazon, Trey, Searle, Harvey, and Kaneda all went back to their homes in various places around the world.
Meanwhile, Capa and Y/L/N settled down somewhere in the halfway point between their hometowns, close enough to Capaโs sister and her kids in one direction, and Y/L/Nโs family in the other. They had found themselves a nice house outside of the city, and the two built their own small planetarium in their backyard together. Their two-story home was modest but just enough for them; not too small, but not too big either. It was there that they stayed happily for the next couple of years.
______________________________________________________________
It was a warm April day, but to Capa, it wasnโt just any typical day. Today was special.
The solar eclipse was happening today. He hadnโt seen an eclipse on Earth in many years. He has seen a few eclipses from the vantage point of the Icarus II in space, but itโs been a long time since heโs experienced one from the ground, and it just so happened that the path of totality was going right over his house he shared with his girlfriend, Y/L/N.
Of course, being a physicist and an astronaut, he knew the date and time of when the Moon was supposed to pass in front of the Sun ahead of time -- months, maybe years in advance -- and he knew he wanted to experience it with the love of his life. Even more than that, he wanted to make the experience as beautiful and as romantic as he possibly could. It was because of the couple and the rest of the Icarus II crew that they were able to view such a remarkable thing from Earth after all.
While Y/L/N was away for a few hours finishing a few last-minute errands, Capa was busy in their backyard in the midday spring air, setting up a massive telescope and a camera. Next to his setup, he spread out a large blanket on the grass, and on it he set a bottle of wine and two glasses. As he was getting the angle of the telescope just right and setting the time lapse to the correct adjustments on the camera, he thought he heard Y/L/Nโs car pull into their driveway. As she got out of the car, she looked around for him, but didnโt see him right away.
โSweetheart, Iโm home!โ she called out. She waited a second before calling out for him again. โRobert? Honey?โ
โIโm in the backyard, baby,โ he called back to her. โIโll be right there.โ Capa walked over to her to help her carry the bags into the house. He helped her put the groceries away in the kitchen, and once everything had been taken in and put away, he pulled her to his chest and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her deeply, leaving her breathless. She kissed him back, returning his intensity as she held onto his shoulders. She wobbled a little, but Capa held onto her tight, not letting her fall. He gently broke the kiss, his arms still around her.
โWelcome home, sunshine,โ Capa said, his eyes full of love. โI was getting nervous for a second there.โ
A little dizzy from his kiss, she giggled before answering. โIโm sorry, sweetheartโฆtraffic was backed up, but I made it.โ She kissed him again as she hugged him. โHow much time do we have until everything goes dark?โ
Capa returned the kiss, gently running his hands up and down her back. โWe have about half an hour or so before we can see anything happen.โ He smiled at her as he played with her hair lovingly. โMight as well head outside so we donโt miss anything coolโฆwhat do you think, angel?โ
She blushed as she leaned into his touch. โSure, hun. Letโs go.โ She took his hand as he led her outside to their backyard. He helped her sit down on the blanket he put out for them before sitting down next to her. Her eyes widened at the romantic scene he had created for the two of them, the telescope and the camera, as well as the bottle of wine and glasses, and the string lights he attached to the sides of their little planetarium.
He opened the bottle and poured the wine into a glass and handed it to her, before doing the same for himself. โHere you go, my love,โ he said as he handed the glass to her.
She gently took the glass from him and smiled. โThank you, sweetheart.โ They tapped their glasses together before they each took a sip. โGod, baby, this is really beautiful,โ she said, her voice wavering slightly as she rested her head on his shoulder.
He kissed her forehead tenderly. โNot nearly as beautiful as you are,โ he said as he smiled back, wrapping his arm around her. โI love you so much. Forever and always.โ he said as he planted another small kiss on the top of her head.
โI love you too. So much. With my whole heart.โ she replied, nuzzling up closer to him.
Capa leaned over to kiss her on the lips one more time. โShouldnโt be too much longerโฆitโs getting kinda dark, and itโs quiet all of a sudden.โ He moved slightly to look through the telescope lens. โWeโre really close now, I think.โ He pulled away and moved the lens towards her. โHere, look at thisโฆit reminds me of all those eclipses you and I used to watch together on the ship, just smaller and farther away.โ
She looked through the lens and smiled. โIโll never get tired of looking at things like this,โ she said as the sky started to dim. โItโs always so breathtaking to see.โ
While she was distracted by looking at the interstellar image in the eyepiece of the telescope, he stood up and reached into his pocket to pull out an engagement ring with a sunstone gem encrusted in the center, and hid it inside his hand. The sky was getting darker still, and the Moon was almost completely covering the Sun.
โY/F/N?โ he asked as he stood in front of her.
She pulled away from the telescope, and Capa helped her to her feet with his free hand. โYes, Robert?โ she asked as the Moon moved closer to blocking the Sun. โWhat is it?โ The sky turned pitch black except for the light coming from the Sun beginning to hide behind the Moon.
He swallowed as he chose his words carefully. โYou mean the world to me, Y/F/N. You are my world. Being with you has made me the happiest man on Earth.โ He slowly dropped down to one knee in front of her, causing her to gasp as he took her left hand in both of his. โI want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life right here with you. Will you marry me?โ he asked gently and lovingly as tears started to form in his eyes.
She trembled and started to cry tears of joy. โOh my Godโฆyes! Of course Iโll marry you!โ
Tears started to fall down his cheeks as he slipped the ring onto her finger. He stood back up and took her into his arms and kissed her deeply. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back, his tears mixing with hers. Overhead, the Sun appeared as a white circle in the sky, while the string lights glimmered behind them in the darkness caused by the eclipse.
โI love you, sunshine. More than anything else in the universe.โ Capa said as he gently wiped away the tears from her face. He smiled as he wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug. As they held each other, the sky began to brighten back up. He pulled away from the hug to kiss her deeply again. โI love you so much.โ
โI love you, too, sweetheart. So much. More than words can ever say.โ she replied, kissing away his tears. โI canโt wait to be your wife.โ
Capa blushed. โAnd I canโt wait to be your husband.โ He kissed her back, holding her tightly in silence for a bit before speaking again. โSo how was that? Pretty awesome, huh?โ
She giggled and blushed. โEverything was amazing! Absolutely beautiful! Iโm the luckiest woman on the planet to have you.โ She kissed his cheek as she held him close.
Capa smiled and blushed as well. โGood, Iโm glad. And Iโm the luckiest man on the planet to have you, too.โ He kissed her back with a little bit more passion than before. โI was thinkingโฆโ
She kissed him back, matching his intensity. โOh? Thinking about what?โ she asked, looking into his beautiful cobalt blue eyes.
โI was thinking that maybe we can go to bed early tonightโฆyou know, to celebrate,โ he said with an air of seduction in his voice. โAnd we donโt have anything going on tomorrowโฆโ He kissed her again, this time biting her bottom lip softly and tugging on it with his teeth before letting it go, eliciting a small moan from her.
She kissed him back, feeling a wet warmth pool between her thighs as he ran his hands up and down her body. She moaned breathlessly before speaking. โYeah? And how should we do that?โ
Capa smiled wickedly as he began to kiss her jawline and collarbone before leaving a lingering kiss where her neck meets her shoulder. โWell, I could start thereโฆโ
She moaned a little louder. โMy Godโฆyou know what happens when you do thatโฆโ she breathed as he continued to tease her.
Capa laughed slyly. โBelieve me, Iโm well aware of what happens, and Iโll never get sick of it. What do you say we go upstairsโฆโ he trailed off before kissing her neck again, his teeth lightly scraping against her collarbone. โIโve spent enough time exploring the sky when Iโd much rather spend all night exploring my future wife,โ he murmured, his lips against hers. โAnd every night after that.โ
She swooned at his words, feeling weak at the knees in his arms. โAnything you say, baby,โ she whispered. โIโm all yours. Forever.โ
โForever with you sounds pretty fantastic to me,โ he said, full of desire for her. Wasting no time at all, Capa took her by the hand and led her into the house. โIโll be right back, babe. Iโll meet you in the bedroom in a minute,โ he said, his voice dripping with lustful need. She didnโt need him to tell her twice as she started up the stairs, but not before he playfully swatted her on the ass on her way up, making her giggle. He practically ran out to bring everything they had left outside into the house as fast as he could, shutting the door behind him with a soft slam when he came back in. He threw the blanket on a chair, leaned the telescope against the wall, set the camera down next to it, and brought the bottle of wine and the two glasses upstairs with him. He entered their bedroom and put everything in his hands on the nightstand.
Capa saw his now-fiancรฉe sitting on the edge of their bed, eagerly waiting for him. โTook you long enough,โ she teased him as she bit her lip looking at him. โI was beginning to wonder if youโd ever come back.โ Her voice was sultry as she shifted on their mattress.
Blushing, Capa rolled his eyes in mock annoyance as he smiled, and teased her right back. โI was gone maybe two seconds maxโฆyou want me that bad already, huh?โ She nodded as he took her into his arms again, kissing her deeply as he pulled her closer. Kneeling on the mattress in front of him as he stood at the edge of the bed, she returned his kisses as she lifted his shirt up and over his head before tossing it to the floor. โGood, because I need to have you right now,โ he said, his excitement becoming nearly painful. Capa then started to undo the buttons of her shirt, fumbling with them slightly before giving in. He ripped it clear off of her shoulders, sending buttons flying in all directions, causing her to gasp and giggle in delight. He dragged her ruined shirt off of her shoulders and threw it behind him as he pulled one of the straps of her bra down to kiss her collarbone.
โYou asked for it, loveโฆI told you, you know what happens when you kiss me and bite me like that.โ She kissed him again as she started to unbuckle his belt. โI think you know by now I canโt behave when you torture me.โ She shot him a sexy wink before kissing him again. His breath caught in his throat as she tore his belt from around his hips and threw it to the floor to join his shirt.
โTorture, huh? Are you sure? Because something tells me you enjoy it. Quite a lot.โ His voice had a sensual danger about it, and it thrilled her. He held her chin with his forefinger and thumb before dropping his voice to a velvety whisper. โAnd yes, I know exactly what happens. I want to see how much you can take. I also happen to know each and every thing that drives you wild.โ He unhooked her bra with his free hand and took it off of her so slowly that she trembled. โSee? Just like that.โ
Thank you for reading! I hope you guys liked it, and if you did, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts and my requests are open! <3

Pairing:
Robert Capa x Best Friend!Reader
Summary:
He called her sunshine the moment they knew each other on Icarus II, and they always teetered on the line of best friends and more until one night.
Warning(s): Slight humping. Fluffy. Confessions. Possessive!Capa. Lyrics of You Are My Sunshine is in italics. Minors, dni!
Word Count: 790
She woke up to the sound of the mechanical bolt door opening, and she rolled over to see her best friend Capa stepping inside her bunker. โSunshine,โ he murmured his nickname for her.ย
His icy eyes burned a hole through her as he stepped closer to her, knees touching the bed as he waited for her permission to get in the bed with her.ย
She lifted the blankets on her bed as if she had done it a thousand times. Truthfully she had done it every night and his bed had never been slept in since the first month they aboard the mission.
He climbed into her bed, wrapping her up in his arms on top of her. He squeezed her tightly as he had done it every night, burying his face in her neck.
โI couldnโt wait any longer, came over as soon as I was done with the end of day report,โ he mumbled against her skin before pulling back to grin at her, his blue eyes sparkling in the dim blue light. โTell me about your day, Sunshine.โ
She giggled before it was silenced by his action of nestling back into her neck. Lips brushing against her skin.
Her voice turned softer as she told him about her day. Eventually, there was a lull in the conversation and she was about to tell him good night when he said something that sent her into haywire just enough to drag her away from the edge of sleep.
โHave I ever told you how hard your sleepy voice makes me?โ he asked quietly into her skin, restrained even, making it sound like he was holding back a groan. โI love coming here before you fall asleep, but I always had to leave the room toโฆโ trailing off as he admitted, embarrassment coated his tone as his cheeks turned flushed which she could feel it against the skin of her jaw.
โRob,โ she murmured, not believing him. โDonโt lie,โ her voice was still laced with sleepiness.
โIโm not,โ he insisted. โIโm hard right now.โ He made a soft sound, like a grunt. He pushed his bulge between her legs, rubbing slightly against her covered cunt to emphasize his statement.
She attempted to hold back a gasp, instead a small whimper slipped from her throat as her thighs strained to lock in place against a sudden pulse she had felt in her cunt.
He mustโve heard the sound because she could hear the grin in his voice when he spoke. โYou like it, donโt you?โ
She swallowed heavily, trying to find a way to deny with reasons why she should say no. It felt like crossing a line if she were to say yes, but she knew Capa was serious, always had been. She nodded which she knew he had felt the confirmation.
โIโm not going to have you like this just yet. Not until you are ready, okay?โ he asked, his voice rough like sandpaper.
She nodded once again.
โI love it when you donโt hide the fact weโre practically living together,โ he confessed. His tone was warm, like he was grinning which did not happen often unless it was around her. โIt shows others that youโre mine.โ
โIโm not yours, Rob,โ she protested half-heartedly. Staring at the paneling ceiling, she shivered when she felt him chuckling mirthlessly before pulling away from her neck to face her.
โYouโre my best friend,โ he said resolutely, his eyes flashing. โThat makes you mine. Not Maceโs, not Cassieโs, not anyone elseโs.ย Mine.โ He said lowly as if there was no argument she could come up with to change his mind.
โOkay.โ She said simply, looking into his gaze which made his lips curved into a soft smile.
Sheโd suppose that he was the silent outsider of the group because he rarely socialized with others except her. She was the only one who he let in without a question.
โI love you. Like Iโmย in loveย with you, Sunshine,โ he murmured in a deep, husky voice that had her heart going pitter patter from his confession. โAnd Iโm never letting you go.โ
โPromise?โ She asked, the corners of her mouth pulling up in a hesitant smile as her hands were fisted in the back of his tank top.ย โAndโฆI love you too.โ
His expression was serious, the lines of his boyishly handsome face earnest as he spoke, โI promise.โ Before pressing his lips against hers tenderly for the first time then he moved from her mouth to her ear. Pressing his lips against her ear, โyou are my sunshine, my only sunshine.โ He sang softly, making her smile widely since he always did this every night. โYou make me happy when skies are grayโฆโ

Gravity - Rober Capa x Reader
Pairing: Rober Capa x Reader (can be read as any gender, no pronouns used)
AU: EveryoneLives!AU
Genre: fluff
Word Count: 1 399
Summary: Capa finally gets to hold you in his arms
A/N: Be warned. This is less a fic thanโฆ a flow of thoughts really. It started out with the idea that the gravity on the Icarus is probably slightly different from Earthโs, and grew from there.
Masterlist
Robert Capa, who knows he's in trouble when halfway to the sun he realises he's fallen in love with you, his crewmate. He's fairly certain you're flirting with him, a little at least, but he never dares to act on his feelings. You're stuck on very limited space after all and if things go south between the two of you (as south as things can go in open space without poles) the whole crew would suffer from the tension. So he sits it out, restricts himself to the little touches when you hand each other things, and relishes in the feeling of your breath fanning over his neck when you lean over his shoulder to see what he's working on.
But he can't help but imagine what it would feel like to fall asleep besides you. He imagines the way your breathing pattern would disturb the monotone humming of the electronics around him, would breathe life into the mechanical darkness surrounding him. He imagines how it would feel when you were to let him rest his head on your chest, listening to the small sounds of you living body under his. The sound of your heart and breath, the little noises your stomach makes. He imagines feeling the warmth of your skin bleeding through the synthetic fibres of your uniform pyjamas. And he imagines what if would feel like if the arm he wishes he could drape over your waist were being pulled down not by artificial but by the natural gravity of earth, a nice, familiar 9.81m/s^2.
He never acts on these daydreams, never mentions them to anyone, doesn't even note them down in the dairy he's obligated to keep. In fact, he's almost a little ashamed for these thoughts, these desires. The desire to feel another living human being close while drifting through open, unliving space, to wrap someone - you - in his arms. So, he keeps pretending everything is normal, even when his breath catches in his throat whenever he sees you, even when his heartrate increases whenever he thinks of you.
-
When the payload is set of, and the Icarus on its way back to earth, when the realisation sets in that you made it, you're still alive and on your way home, he hugs you tightly. For the first time, he allows himself to hold you longer than would be appropriate, and he buries his face in your neck, shuddering at how you keep your hands wrapped in his shirt. That night you knock on the door to his bedroom and ask if he can hold you. Against better judgement, he agrees, lets you slip into bed with him, and there you lay in his arms, innocently enough. It's not what he imagined it to be like. But it's definitely nice and warm. A lot warmer than his dark room would be otherwise. He doesn't sleep that night, stays up instead, listening to the even breaths you take, feeling the little twitches when you dream. But his arm is around your waist, not as heavy as it would be on earth, but it's enough for now.
It's not until 16 months later, right before you're supposed to climb into the capsule that brings you from the earth's orbit down to the ground, that you suddenly turn to him. In the past months, you slept almost every night in his narrow bed together with him, and in the nights that you didnโt, he slept in your bed besides you. It was never more than that, holding each other, talking in hushed voices, staring at each other with only a few inches separating your faces. You talked about earth, about what you wanted to do when you're back down there. You wanted to see flowers again, he wanted to eat ramen again, you wanted to go on long walks through green forests, he wanted to hold you every night. The last confession slipped over his lips only in the last night on the Icarus, as if it were his last chance to tell you. You didnโt say anything in return, only smiled at him and nodded.
So, when you turn to him right before you are supposed to climb into the capsule, he isn't sure what he is supposed to expect. A rejection perhaps? A friendly "Thanks for the cuddles, but that's it"? Instead, you lean forward, right into his face. "Kiss me?" It's a question, but not really. It's a demand. And not one he would ever consider refusing. He seals his lips to yours, short but urgently. And then you climb into the capsule, followed by him, sit through being shot through the earth's atmosphere, and you're reaching for his hand, intertwining your fingers with his. That action makes his heart beat faster than the thought of the quickly approaching ground. The first time you see the sun again, without being separated from it by thick layers of glass, Capa thinks his heart is melting in his chest. He didn't think it would be possible to see sunlight like this again, all warm and safe and bright. And especially not while holding your hand in his.
What follows your arrival on earth are a quick meeting with your families, but Capa can only focus on his sister for so long before his eyes are being drawn back to you. Then there are debriefings, not one, not two, but three, all on the same day. When all he really wants to do is lay down, pull you down next to him, and feel his arm being pulled against your body by the earthโs gravity. But instead, he has to sit in these meetings, knowing that tomorrow there will be more of those. He literally just returned from space, saving the earth. Can't they give him a break? He catches your eyes, and you smile amused as if you had read his thoughts and want to say "just accept your fate, it will be over eventually."
But the meetings are being followed up by a dinner with some politicians, and he swears he hears someone comment on his long hair and your unplucked eyebrows and he almost blows up. But then there's your hand on his leg, squeezing his knee gently under the table, and he takes a deep breath of air, air that is not filtered through a survival-support system, and he swallows down his anger.
It all pays off, as it turns out. The meetings, the dinner, the following interview. All of it on the same day that you arrived back from space. It pays off when he finally gets to step foot into his own hotel room, gets to take a proper shower with warm water and shampoo and soap as much as he likes. It pays of when he just slips into the soft cotton pyjama and there's a knock on his door and when he opens it, it's you, standing in front of him, dressed in the same white, cotton pyjama. It pays off, when you wrap your arms around his neck, and whisper "yes" when he asks to kiss you. It pays off, when he pulls you towards his bed, and drops down on it, pulling you next to him. It all pays off, when you cover the two of you with the fluffy blanket, nothing like the thin fleece blankets aboard the Icarus. And when your head hits the pillow, you let him rest his head on your chest, his arms around your waist. He can hear your heartbeat and your even breaths, even the little sounds your stomach makes as it works quietly. You smell of the same hotel issued soap and shampoo that he also used, but somehow you small warmer than him, he thinks. He can't help the sigh on his lips, when you run your fingers through his hair, carding through the long, dark strands. His head is heavy on your chest. Your hand is heavy on his head. His arms are heavy on your waist. This was what he imagined. The in unrelenting force of the earth's gravity, pulling the two of you together, on the planet you traveled millions of miles for to save. And the irrational part of him, the hopelessly romantic part of him, can't help but think that he travelled all this way just to be with you.

The Ninth Crewmember
Pairing: Robert Capa x Reader
Word Count: 4.9k
Summary: You are the ninth crewmember aboard Icarus II, and as the journey wears on you begin to find it harder and harder to ignore your feelings for Capa. Maybe it would be easier if he'd quit dragging you into bed with him...
Warnings: Smut, mentions of reader taking birth control pills as well as other medications, mild angst/pining, nightmares, literal sleeping together, the fun kind of sleeping together, Capa is a bit of a dick but also a sadboi, teasing, begging, use of "good girl" (whoops), bad puns
A/N: Can you tell that I struggle with titles haha? Anyway, finally getting around to cross-posting this from AO3 in my continued attempts to fuel @cillmequick's Capa thots ๐
***Please read the warnings before continuing. Minors DNI***
Your fingers hovered over the panel, looking for the button you were supposed to press. They were all clearly labeled, but there were so many of them that you were having a hard time locating the one you needed. Your index finger moved hesitantly closer to a square near the bottom right of the panel.
โNot that one.โ
Capaโs voice behind you made you jump. He soundedโฆ not exactly annoyed, but tired by having to explain again what you were supposed to be doing. Your cheeks heated up as he leaned in close, chin hovering just above your shoulder as he looked at the panel.
โThat one.โ
He pointed at a button in the lower left, which, embarrassingly, was flashing bright orange and labeled โTESTโ in all capital letters. You felt the need to apologize, but held your tongue. Capa went back to doing whatever it was he had been concentrating on before, at the other end of the room. The space he left in his wake felt oddly noticeable.
โOkay,โ he said, taking his time to flip a couple of switches above his head. โReady in threeโฆ twoโฆ oneโฆโ
You pressed the button as he finished counting down, and instantly the room in front of the control chamber was filled with spots of twinkling light. They seemed to dance over every surface for just a moment. The display lasted for less than three seconds, but it was breathtaking even in impermanence.ย
You looked over at Capa, your eyes still shining with the beauty of it, only to see him calmly taking notes. His expression was carefully neutral, lips pressed together as he scribbled with short, purposeful strokes.ย
โCapa?โ you asked.
โHm?โ
He didnโt look up as he continued to record his observations, and you didnโt wait for him to before continuing.
โDo you think the real thing will look like that?โ
Capa stopped writing for a moment, and seemed to consider your question seriously before answering.
โNo,โ he said finally, putting his stylus down and fixing you with a gaze that made you breath stop. โEven after watching a thousand of these simulations, I donโt think that any one of them could ever capture the true beauty. What it will really look like.โ
You were standing a few feet away from him, fixed in place by his intense gaze. Something about Capa had fascinated you, from the moment youโd stepped aboard Icarus II. His bluntness, maybe, or the way his eyes seemed to scan over everything in front of him, as if he were reading it all - people, data, situations - like they were a book. And you would be lying if you said that it didnโt make your heart swell whenever he did it to you.
โYou and I will be some of the only people to ever live who will see something so magnificent,โ Capa said quietly. โWe should count ourselves lucky.โ
You nodded in agreement, too entranced and too afraid of flubbing your words to reply.
โThank you for your help,โ Capa continued. He went back to note taking, as if he hadnโt just been waxing poetic about life and the universe. โYou can go.โ
Capaโs words rang in your head as you made your way to the medbay. It had been hours since youโd left his lab, but the weight still seemed to resonate. A beauty unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. You reflected on the thought as you reported to Searle, to help with a few things before going to bed.
One of Searleโs duties was handing out supplements, and he often asked for your help with making the deliveries. Icarus II was a very large ship, and your fellow crewmembers were usually spread out in the various quarters and chambers. It was faster to do the job with two people.
Before heading off, you worked on separating various pills into small plastic cups, one for each person. There were quite a few pills that everyone had to take every day. Space travel was hard on the body, and it was difficult if not impossible to get all of the necessary nutrients from the food you had aboard. Even with the gardens and the ability to have fresh vegetables, you all still had to take a lot of supplements.ย
You finished doling out the vitamins, and then opened the final bottle of pills. You, Cassie, and Corazon also received one other daily medication: an oral contraceptive. You dropped three little pills into three little cups.
As you replaced the bottleโs lid, your mind drifted again to Capa. The weight of him hovering just behind you, so close that you could feel his breath against your cheek. You wondered if he had any idea that he made your heart flutter just by being next to you. If he did, he certainly didnโt show it. Capa was incredibly hard to read, but for some reason that only made you want him all the more. Your thoughts wandered, imagining things that you knew would never happen. His hand reaching out to you; the feel of his fingers against your waist; his beautiful blue eyes rolling back as he-
You slammed the bottle of pills down on the counter, banishing the fantasies before you could get too wrapped up in them. It was a bad idea to sleep with your coworkers. The birth control pills were mandated for female crewmembers, but they were precaution rather than permission. Nine people cooped up together, for years. It was better to prevent any potential problems from happening. It was only logical to mitigate the risk. But that didn๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝt mean that relationships were encouraged.
And besides, you told yourself, it's not like Capa would be interested anyway.
You picked up the little plastic vial with your pills, and tipped them all into your mouth, swallowing quickly.ย
They burned your throat on the way down.
Capaโs eyes looked almost white in the vivid yellow light of the sun. He looked at the dying star, and you looked at him, breathless again at the way he seemed to silently consider everything in front of him. The edges of his thumbs ghosted over his lips as he leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees, as if to get just a bit closer to that magnificent light.
You were sitting in the observatory, Capaโs empty vial of pills placed precariously on the edge of the bench between you. It had taken you quite a while to find him. He often stayed up late working in his lab, and it was almost rare to see him outside of it. He had been your last delivery, so you figured it wouldnโt hurt to sit with him awhile before heading to your quarters.
Youโd been wrong, of course; it hurt more than anything to sit next to him and not have the courage, or the recklessness, to reach out and touch him. As he looked on with amazement at the pulsating sun, you tore your eyes away from him to peer out as well. Dark webs of red and black stretched over the starโs surface. It was strange to think about - how up close it all looked so different from how it had back on Earth. It took up the entire viewing window; so large that it almost felt like it could swallow you at any moment, despite still being millions of miles away.
As he leaned forward, Capaโs dog tags dangled in front of his chest. You wanted nothing more than to grab them. Wrap your fingers around the thin cord holding them, and pull him to you until you both tumbled off the edge of something and into the blazing unknown.ย
Your tongue darted out to lick your lips. Chapped from the heat of the sun.
โItโs getting late,โ you whispered, hoping that he would break the spell so that you wouldnโt have to. โYou should get to bed, Capa.โ
โHard to when the sunโs always right there, isnโt it?โ he asked, cryptically.ย
โI guess it is,โ you agreed. โBut you should still get some rest.โ
Capa nodded, and rose from the bench, crushing his empty cup in his hand. He looked back at you, seemed as if he was about to say something, and then left the room without uttering a word. You let out a rough breath, shaking even as you were bathed in the glowing light.
A noise woke you up from your fitful sleep. Youโd had a lot of trouble closing your eyes in the first place - probably because of the way your heart was still hammering in your chest, and the way your mind was racing from the events of the day. Still, it was odd to hear any sort of noise at night. Usually the hallways of the ship were deserted, as the crew all slept in their separate chambers. You listened closely, trying to identify the noise through the haze of sleep still clouding your senses.
You heard it again: a muffled banging followed by what sounded like someone struggling.ย
Curious, you got out of bed and padded softly across the floor of your small room. The door slid open soundlessly, and as you stepped out into the hall you heard the noise a third time. Now you could clearly tell that it was coming from across the hall. Capaโs room.
You hesitated for a moment, closed fist raised and ready to knock. He probably wouldnโt want you to bother him, but what if something was wrong and you ignored it? You wouldnโt be able to forgive yourself. You knocked.
Another muffled sound came from inside, unintelligible.ย
โCapa?โ you whispered, lips pressed as close to the door as you could manage. You didnโt want to wake anyone else up.
There was no answer.
Well, you were already here. You might as well go in and make sure he was okay, just in case. Pressing the small button to open the door, you slipped quietly into his room. The door slid closed behind you.
Capaโs room was entirely dark, unlike the faint, recessed glow of the hallway. It took your eyes a moment to adjust, but when they finally did you could see Capa asleep in his bed, thrashing against some unseen threat. He was having a nightmare.
Immediately, you felt embarrassed. You shouldnโt have barged in; this was his personal space. He was vulnerable, and clearly going through something unpleasant. Knowing Capa, you felt certain that he wouldnโt want any of the others seeing him like this, including you. His brows creased and lips pressed feverishly together in his sleep. You turned to leave, feeling foolish.
โWhoโs there?โ
The sound of Capaโs voice behind you made you freeze. Just like earlier, in the lab, a shiver inched down your spine at the thought of facing him. You took a deep breath, steadying yourself.
โItโs me,โ you responded, turning around.
He was sitting up in bed, blankets pooled around his waist. Shirtless. You felt your face heating up, and were relieved that he couldnโt see your eyes widen in the dark.
โOh,โ said Capa softly. โWhat are you doing here?โ
โI, umโฆ I heard something and I just wanted to make sure you were alright.โ
Against your better judgment, you took a few steps toward him as you spoke. There was a chair next to his bed, and you sat in it, leaning forward on your elbows as you tried to read his expression. The lines of his face betrayed nothing, as usual.
โIsโฆ everything okay?โ you asked hesitantly.
Capa swallowed before answering, his eyes flitting up to land on your face. Even in the dark, somehow they seemed to shine. You wanted to look away. You knew you should. But looking into his eyes felt the same as the rushing weightlessness of looking into the sun.
โIโm fine,โ he assured you. โSometimes I have nightmares.โ
You nodded, a little surprised he had opened up to you..
โMe too,โ you admitted.
Capa seemed to understand what you meant, without you having to say it. He didnโt look away from you as he spoke.
โIt is frightening,โ he told you. โTo be face to face with all of it. The beauty. The scale, unlike anything youโd ever seen back on Earth.โ
Your mind flashed back to Capa in the observation deck, eyes wide open and leaning forward toward the molten sun. You had thought he was fascinated, but maybe it was something more like the magnetic pull of fear that made him inch closer.ย
โBut I meant what I said earlier,โ he continued. โWe are lucky to be here.โ
Silence hung between you for a moment.ย
โIโm sorry for letting myself in,โ you said finally. โI just wanted to make sure you were okay.โ
โDonโt be,โ Capa said. โItโs nice to be checked up on.โ
You smiled softly, even as your heart hammered in your chest. You put your hands on your knees and stood up from the chair, then leaned down to look at Capa one last time. He was still sitting up in bed, propped on one elbow, facing slightly toward you. A breath caught in your throat as you reached out and placed a hand on his bare shoulder.
โGet some rest, Capa,โ you told him, giving a gentle squeeze.
As you moved your hand away, suddenly it was stopped by strong, stable fingers. You looked down to see Capa grabbing your wrist, looking up at you with those damn sensuous eyes. This time, your heart stopped.
โStay with me?โ Capa asked, the barest hint of a prayer in his voice.
โIโฆโ
โPlease?โ
Time seemed to stand still as you looked at him. A trace of fear in the very corner of his eyes. A few pieces of hair stuck to his forehead with sweat. His fingers wrapped around your wrist, pressing just a bit too tight.
โOkay,โ you agreed. The word seemed to carry all of the air in your lungs along with it, out into the vacant night.
You sat on the edge of his bed, awkwardly facing him, and Capa moved backward to make more space for you. Hesitant, you werenโt sure if he wanted you to lie down next to him. It wasnโt exactly a roomy bed, not being intended for more than one person to occupy at a time. You flittered with indecision as Capa settled back into his pillows.
โCโmere.โ
Suddenly, an arm was around your waist. And then you were being hooked into Capaโs body, your back pressing snugly against his chest. Capa sighed behind you, his breath tickling the back of your neck. His arm was still draped around your waist, and his lips just barely brushed against you.
โSweet dreams,โ he whispered.
You let out a shaky breath, and prayed that Capa couldnโt hear how fast your heart was beating.
The next morning, you woke up alone. You tried to ignore your disappointment. Capa was an early riser; the type to get a head start on the day by spending all hours in his lab, including the ones before anyone else on the ship was awake. You had always seen him as a hard worker, but after seeing him so unusually agitated last night, you now wondered if there werenโt other reasons he barely seemed to sleep.
You looked around the small room for a few moments, reflecting on what had happened. Part of you still couldnโt believe it. Was it possible that Capa had feelings for you, or were you just a warm body to sleep next to? Did it even matter? If it meant you got to press yourself up against him, you honestly didnโt care whether there was anything more to it.
But then anxiety clouded your mind. What if Capa had left because he was embarrassed? Too shy to confront you about the mistake heโd made in asking you to stay with him? He was, generally, very straightforward - but you also got the sense that he liked to avoid conflict if possible. And he was so damn hard to read. You sat up and put your feet on the floor, crossing your legs and squeezing them together. He was driving you crazy, and the worst part was, you were way too much of a coward to tell him about it.
You stood, made a sound of frustration, and carefully left the room - looking both ways before you stepped out into the hallway. It was still early, but you certainly didnโt need anyone seeing you step out of Capaโs room first thing in the morning. Rumors traveled faster in the cramped halls of a spaceship than lightning on a summerโs night. You slipped back into your own room, and got ready for the day. Maybe, later, you would confront Capa.
You spent the day avoiding Capa. Which wasnโt too hard; he really did spend most of his time in his lab. You focused on helping Corazon in the oxygen garden, trying to distract yourself with the calming, white-noise sound of water. It didnโt do much good for your nerves, unfortunately.ย
As the hours wore on, you became more and more agitated, and ultimately, convinced that Capa regretted your night together. It was disappointing, sure, but this was really just a testament to why you shouldnโt have gotten involved in the first place. It was a bad idea to sleep with your coworkers. Even if you did literallyย onlyย sleep with them.
That night, you begged off of helping Searle with the medications; telling him you had a headache and wanted to get to bed. Really, you just couldn't face the thought of handing Capa his little plastic cup of pills, watching as he observed you with his characteristic disinterest. Searle added a few ibuprofen to your medications and watched as you swallowed them down, before telling you heโd handle it and to get some rest.
Eyes on the floor, you headed to your room.
This was not good. You still had years left on the ship, pressed together with everyone in tight quarters. And Capa was right across the hall from you. There was no possible way to avoid him, and yet, how were you supposed to face him after the embarrassment of being ignored and rejected? Your thoughts were still swirling as you reached the door to your quarters, and pressed the button to go inside.
โSleeping alone tonight?โ
The familiar voice behind you caught you off guard. You hadnโt seen him there.
โI didnโt realize there was another option.โ
You turned around to face him, slowly. Capa was standing in the open doorway to his room, hands in his pockets and arms unfairly attractive in his light gray tank top. There was just a hint of mischief in his eyes as they slowly swept over you, and it made you feel both anger and arousal.
โIโm sorry about this morning,โ Capa said, again seeming to sense what you were feeling without you even telling him. โTrey needed my help with something, and I figured you wouldnโt want me to wake you. Ooor want to walk out together in front of him.โ
You felt yourself starting to soften, but still gave your best attempt at a pout as you crossed your arms.
โYou could have told me earlier.โ
โI know. And I am sorry.โ Capa took a step back into his room. โLet me make it up to you?โ
It was the wrong decision to follow him. You knew this, but you did it anyway. If only to finish the conversation in the relative privacy of Capaโs room instead of out in the hallway where anyone could hear you. At least, thatโs what you told yourself.
โPlease donโt be mad?โย
Capaโs room was dark, again, and it took your eyes a few seconds to adjust. When you could see him clearly, he was looking down at you, careful expression and head cocked to the side as he awaited your answer.
โOkay,โ you agreed.
You were rewarded with a small smile from Capa, and instantly your heart melted. You really couldnโt stay mad at him, even if you wanted to. He was just too damned attractive.
โLetโs go to bed then,โ Capa said happily.
He tore off his shirt as he walked to the bed, and for a second you werenโt sure how you were going to stay upright. Capa stood by the bed and waited for you.
โLadies first.โ
โI, umโฆโ you began. โMaybe I should get my pajamas out of my room.โ
โMmm, you donโt really need them.โ
Capa took a step toward you and reached over, pulling you close to him. At the same time, his fingers slipped beneath the hem of your shirt. And before you could protest, he was pulling the fabric up and over your head, leaving you only in shorts and a sports bra.
โThatโs better,โ he smirked.
Capaโs warm fingers landed on your waist, and you felt yourself swoon again. If it werenโt for his piercing blue eyes holding you in place, you were certain you would have fallen over.
Gently, Capa guided you to bed and let you climb in first, before crawling after you. You were spooning again, this time with you lying closest to the wall. With Capaโs body pressed against you, the result was a warm but not uncomfortable closeness. It felt like you were boxed into your own little world, even as the vastness of space threatened to spill in all around you.
Capaโs arms wrapped around you, pulling you in even tighter. You settled back against him, all of your earlier tension melting away. This was nice, whatever it was. You had made up your mind to just enjoy it. It had been a long time since youโd been so close to someone. Capaโs long hair tickled your neck and shoulders, and you exhaled as he-
โCapa!โ
His mouth was suddenly on your shoulder, kissing rough enough to leave a bruise. You felt heat rush to your face once again.
โShhhh,โ he teased, lips brushing against you. โDonโt want anyone else to hear us, right?โ
โWhat are you doing?โ you whispered frantically.
โMaking it up to you,โ Capa replied, devilishly. โLike I said I would.โ
He put his lips on your neck this time, kissing and scraping your soft skin with his teeth. Despite yourself, you let out a small whimper. Capaโs arms tightened around you.
โDo you forgive me?โ Capa asked. You could feel him smiling into your neck.
โI-I donโt know.โ A sudden surge of boldness swept through you. โYou might need to convince me some more.โ
โHmmm,โ Capa growled, directly into your ear. โWonder how I can do thatโฆ"
One of his hands trailed lazily up and down your thigh. His touch was feather-light; moving so slowly that it had your head spinning. Without warning, he grabbed the back of your leg, pads of his fingers pressing into your bare flesh.
โOh-โ
The word left your lips involuntarily, and you felt Capa smirk against you again.
โThink I might have a few ideasโฆโ he said.
โCapa, I-โ
Before you could get out more than two words, his hand had snaked around to the front of your shorts and was pushing past your waistband. Separated only by the cloth of your panties, his fingers pressed against the wetness that was quickly spreading between your thighs.
โFuck, youโre soaked,โ he whispered. โI knew you were into me, but I didnโt know you had itย thisย bad.โ
You arched your back against his bare chest, too drunk on his fingers to formulate a response. And he hadnโt even pushed past your panties yet; he was just touching you through the fabric as you fell apart for him.
โGood girl,โ he rasped, sending another wave of euphoria from your neck to your throbbing cunt. โSo eager. Want me to put โem inside you?โ
You nodded, desperate but not trusting your voice enough to speak. Capa slid his hand past the final layer of fabric that separated you, and then one of his fingers was pressing into you. You squeezed your legs together, trapping his hand, and Capa quickly added another finger.
โFuuuuuck,โ he hissed.ย
His fingers curled, pulling at the strings of tension that were already building in your stomach. You wanted nothing more than to scream for him, but knew you shouldn't. The walls of the ship were far from soundproof, and there were rooms on either side of you.
Capaโs thumb pressed down on your clit, rubbing it as his fingers continued to move inside of you. You were desperate for something to grab onto, but the only thing in front of you was blank wall. You settled for wrapping your legs around his, entangling yourselves together to give you some semblance of being grounded. You bucked against his hand, begging for more friction.
โForgive me yet?โ Capa teased, his breath ghosting over your ear again.
You shook your head no; not willing to give up on the game just yet. Behind you, Capa chuckled.
โSo stubborn,โ he muttered. โYou really want to make me work for it.โ
Capa took his fingers away, and you moaned at the sudden loss of him. Not wasting any more time, he grabbed your shorts and pulled them down. You had a brief moment to wonder what you had gotten yourself into.
Youโd felt his growing bulge press into your back as Capa had teased you with his fingers, and now you felt him sliding out of his sweatpants. You were both naked from the waist down, and-
โFuck, Capa.โ
He was brushing the tip over your entrance, not pressing into you yet but just taunting with the idea of it. His hand was firmly at the base of his shaft, ready to guide himself up into you.
โTell me how bad you want it.โ
โPlease, Capa.โ
โWanna hear you say it.โ
โI need you inside me,โ you whispered.
โFucking beg for it.โ
With a frustrated whine, you pushed down and back, forcing his cock into your aching pussy. He was such a tease; you couldn't take it any longer. He was so hard he slid right into you, and the stretch against your walls was like heaven.
Without warning, your orgasm broke over you, crashing into your body with an intensity unlike anything you had ever felt before. It was bliss and beauty and all for the man who was ruining you with every touch. You pressed harder, wanting to feel Capa inside of you as deep as you possibly could. You arched against him, head falling back against his shoulder as you rode out the high.
Capa grabbed at your breasts roughly.
โYou know,โ he began, โyou've never been very good at following directions.โ
He pulled out of you suddenly, making you gasp as you clenched around nothing. Quickly, you were flipped onto your back, and then Capa was hovering over you, his eyes burning ice blue.
โLet's try that again,โ he said, lining himself up as he leaned forward, pressing his whole body against yours. โI want you. To fucking. Beg.โ
โCapa, please,โ you breathed.
โPlease what?โ
โPlease put it in me! God, I want you to fill me up. Please, please-โ
Capa smirked above you, and your eyes rolled back in your head.
โThat's my good girl.โ
The sound that left your mouth as he entered you once again would have been mortifying, had you been thinking straight enough to hear it. As it was, Capa seemed to drink up your pathetic mewls and breathy sighs. He pumped in and out of you a few times, watching as you bounced on the bed beneath him.
โShould've gotten you in my bed a long time ago,โ Capa panted, still pumping into you relentlessly. โI could've been listening to your pretty noises this whole time.โ
His face was right next to yours; the stubble on his jaw scratching you with every thrust. You could feel his lips brushing against your ear as he continued.
โKinda regret wasting all those hours in the lab with you doing actual work. It's aย lotย more fun for me to press your buttons.โ
Your arms and legs wrapped around him, and your fingers tangled in his hair. Capa kissed you roughly on the lips. His thrusts started to get sloppier, falling out of their methodical rhythm.
โGonna let me cum inside you, yeah?โ
You could do nothing but wrap your legs around him tighter, pinning him in place.
โFuck, that's right. Gonna take all of it and beg for more. I'll have you in here every fucking night, on your back for me, screaming so that everybody hears how bad you want me to stick it in you.โ
Capaโs mouth was going to be the death of you. You clenched around him, silently begging him to cum. It was humiliating, how badly you wanted to be filled by him.
โOh, fuck!โ Capa shouted, entirely too loud.
He held you tight as he emptied into you, giving a few final, weak thrusts. He was breathing heavily, still looming over you as his chest heaved. After a few seconds, he pulled back to look at you.
โSo, does that make up for leaving this morning?โ he asked, smirk still plastered on his face.
โIโฆ don't know,โ you panted. โI think we might need to do it once moreโฆ to make sure.โ
You looked up at him, mischief playing in your own eyes. Capa wasn't the only one who could tease.
โOh yeah? Only once more?โ he prodded.ย
He reached up to push the hair out of his face, slicked down with the sweat of his exertion. But despite that, you could already feel him getting hard again.
โWell, maybe a few times,โ you smiled.
You leaned up and caught his lips in a kiss.

Youโre lying underneath Robert, catching your breath as his chest heaves against yours. His breath is hot against your neck as he bruins his nose in your sweat-sheened skin. After years of shared glances and thick tension, the two of you finally bit the bullet and gave in to your desires. The rendevous occurred throughout the area where the bunks are, and your clothes were strewn everywhere. The rest of the crew are elsewhere, leaving you and Robert alone to release some tightly wound energy. Right now, youโre piled in Robertโs bunk, where you eventually ended up. That tight wound energy is now depleted, and youโre trying to get past your post-orgasm haze to muster up words.
โThat was,โ Robert chuckles into your neck, and you finish his sentence.
โAmazing?โ you laugh, carding your fingers through his sweaty hair.
โItโs been a while,โ Robert admits, pushing himself up off you, his biceps tightening.
You canโt help but admire the taut muscles, trying not to get riled up again, โI think itโs been a while for us all. But you did good,โ you smile.
Robert moves off you to retrieve his clothes from throughout the bunks, and while heโs at it, he looks for yours, too. He manages to gather your shirt and pants, but your underwear is nowhere to be found nearby.
โI think you lost your underwear somewhere.โ
You sit up on your elbows, quirking an eyebrow, โWhat?โย
โI think you lost your underwear somewhere,โ Robert repeats and chuckles, walking back to his bunk with his arms crossed.
โOh God,โ you run your hand through your hair, โWhere do you think we left it?โ
โWe started near the exit,โ Robert shrugs, โI looked there. Nothing.โ
It isnโt until the next day during the morning meeting that Mace comes waltzing in with your under hooked on his finger, dangling almost comically, โAnyone looking for these?โ
You glance over to Robert, who clears his throat as his eyes advert from yours. You both try not to laugh.

Resurrection | Robert Capa x Reader ๐ฅ
Warnings: Angst, Unresolved Feelings, Lust, Thanatophobia, Yearning
Synopsis: You have wanted Robert Capa since Icarus II began, but you may never get to live out these dreams.
Author's Note: I can write angst or fluff too, tbh. I thought about writing a Pt. 2 (can either be sad or a resolution). Enjoy!
You were deeply in love with Capa, but now you may never get to tell him. He was due to fix the damaged sun shields with Captain Kaneda. Outside of the delivery of the payload, this was the most dangerous mission. Your journals were full of fantasies of a life with Capa with a resurrected Sun. These had the possibility of being incinerated by the dying star right outside the ship. You were angry with him and had no legitimate reason to be.ย
He came into your room and sat on the edge of your desk. He often did this after a stressful briefing with everyone. He was usually talkative but he was silent this time.ย
โI have no choice. I have to go.โ He blurted out, virtually reading your mind.ย
โI know. Iโll miss you.โ You said.
โWhat do you mean?โ He said, panicking internally.
โThis is a suicide mission, Capa. You know that.โ You explained.ย
โWe didnโt go into this thinking weโd survive.โ He said, trying to be optimistic.ย
โRight. Best of luck.โ You retorted. Stung by your indifference, he gave you a solemn look. Feeling guilty, you walked to him and took his hands in yours.ย
โI donโt want you to go, but you have my blessing. Iโm sorry that I never told you how I feel.โ You revealed. Kissing him sweetly, he pulled you closer and slid his hands underneath your tank top. You stopped him and pulled away slightly. Your nose brushed against his.
โNot now. Only if you make it back.โ You whispered. This could be the incentive that lets him survive.ย
โCan we at least spend the night together?โ He murmured, feeling a hard-on. This was the closest he had gotten to intimacy in months. You pulled him to the barely-comfortable bed and intertwined your limbs with his. His heartbeat lulled you to sleep. As you slipped into unconsciousness, you wondered if this would be the last time you ever heard it.ย
โโ
You watched the monitor intently as Capa got into his spacesuit. The commotion of preparation for him and Captain Kaneda became background noise. An illogical part of you wished the shields could repair themselves or Icarus could find some solution that didnโt involve the love of your life. Feeling overwhelmed, you ran to the airlock and stared at him through the small window.ย
โJust let me talk to him, please.โ You said, voice trembling. Your colleague reluctantly opened the door. Standing before him, you leaned into the suitโs helmet and kissed him tenderly. He kissed you back fervently, desperate for any kind of physical contact. You pulled away and latched the helmet closed. He could only see your teary eyes. He felt his heart break at the thought of never seeing you again.ย

total word count: 2681
a/n:ย During the absolute madness and obsession that was the writing of Entanglement Theory, I imagined several scenarios that would not fit into the story. So instead of just letting them fizzle out, I've decided to write them out while I'm still in the depths of my obsession. Treat this as a fluffy little continuation of the previous story; less looming cosmic horror and more slice of life. There may be a sequel to this some time in the future. Also, while searching through Tumblr, I discovered a set of summarised backstories for each of the Icarus crew that were used during the film's production. They hit on the character's views on a few key subjects, soย Iย decided to write one out for Doc.

Waiting Room - word count: 369
"You're nervous."
Capa looks up from his copy of National Geographic, studying me with an unreadable expression. Though the waiting room is slightly too warm, I still shiver at the frosty blue of his eyes as he peers at me through his glasses. I drum my fingers on the copy of Vogue in my lap.
"And you're not?" I flush.
Capa closes his magazine and purses his lips derisively.
"It's just LASIK. It won't hurt."
"I know, I'm a doctor, remember?"
"How could I forget?" The black frames of his glasses dominate his face, almost hiding the amusement in his eyes. I think I'll miss them when they're gone. "And yes, I'm nervous."
"Good. I don't feel so bad about it now."
He almost smiles as he goes back to reading.
"Your hair's getting longer." I bite my cheek.
"Mm." He looks at me from the corner of his eye, thumbing a lock of hair clinging to his neck. "I'm thinking I'll buzz it before departure so I won't have to worry about it haircuts for a few months."
"You'll look like Mace." I giggle.
"I hadn't thought of that." He looks up, narrowing his eyes.
"I wish you two got along better."
"He doesn't exactly make it easy."
"I agree, he can be quite antagonistic." My eyes fall on the fish tank across the room where a clownfish repeatedly prods at a closed anemone. "But you're both excellent scientists, and so interesting in your own ways."
"You like him, don't you?" His blue lantern eyes fall back to the magazine on his lap.
"Sure, he's a good friend." I skirt the obvious double entendre. Capa nods wordlessly. "You could just grow your hair out, y'know."
I hand him my copy of Vogue, folded to a photo of the actor Apollo Chalamet with his long black hair in a ponytail.
"I think it'd suit you."
He studies the page for a moment, and hands it back with a wry smirk.
"Maybe."
"Um, Met-roh-doo-rah?" A young woman in scrubs reads my name from a clipboard.
"Metrodora." I correct her with a smile. "See you after, Capa."
"See you, Metrodora." Capa's crystal eyes glimmer as he teases me. "Break a leg."
Caught - word count: 1990
Gunfire hails from all sides as I crouch run behind Harvey, covering his back as we seek shelter behind a small armored quad. Snow falls and piles up inside the hangar from the hole our magnet bomb ripped in the ceiling, slicking the floor so I have to take care not to slip as we run outside to meet the enemy tank that is rolling in, shifting the snow into dirty brown wakes behind it.
"I don't know why you don't play it in Simulation." Mace sprawls on the end of the lounge, munching a muesli bar. "You guys could afford to break a sweat more often."
"I just came from the gym room, Mace." I scoff as I unload a hail of bullets into the sprocket of the tank.
"Believe it or not, we don't all want the stress of actually beingย inย a war zone." Harvey adds, scaling the side of the huge, silver vehicle with his grappling hook.
"You're not actually-"
"We know!" Harvey snaps.
"Are you just gonna sit there commentating or are you gonna pick up a controller?" Trey climbs up the other side, swinging across to drop a grenade into a porthole on the side of the tank, only for it to fall out of another hole, blowing him to smithereens. "Shit!"
"Nice." I giggle, and jog over to revive him. "You can have mine in a second, I'm gonna go make a cuppa."
Beside me, somebody settles on the arm of the couch. Enraptured by the action on the screen before me, I can't afford to look away.
"That you, Capa?"
"Yeah." His voice rumbles pleasantly, but I keep my eyes on the screen as I break the camera on the front of the tank with my armored forearm.
"Can you put the kettle on, please?"
"Yes, dear." He quips, wandering off.
I scoff, my face flushing with the keen awareness that none of the crew know about our affair. Trey makes a whip cracking sound with his mouth.
"Shutย up, Trey!" I clumsily hand my controller to Mace. He snatches it from me a little too aggressively and I glare him down. "Hey!"
"Mmph."
"What's yourย problem?"
"Nothing." He scowls.
"Look, I don't know why you're so sour but you can't take it out on me." I frown, stalking out of the room.
"What happened?" Capa asks as I arrive in the kitchen. He is perched on the countertop holding a sleeve of saltines.
"What?" I avoid his gaze, knowing the instant I meet his eyes I will be powerless to look away.
"You're upset, what happened?" He taps the back of my leg with his foot. The warmth in his voice lures me into the snare of his vision.
"It's that easy to tell, huh?" His eyes cool the fire in my belly.
"Mm. I can read you." He puts down the saltines and holds out his hands in offering. "What happened?"
"It's Mace." I give him my hands sidle in between his knees. "He snapped at me for no reason."
"I'll kill him." Capa's jaw tightens.
"Thanks." I peck his cheek. "Do you know what's upsetting him?"
"You think it's my fault?" He frowns.
"No. I just thought you might know."
"Could be anything." He shakes his head, eyes sharp with annoyance. "Iย willย kill him if you want me to."
"Mm." I smile, tuck my arms around him and lay my head on his chest, reveling in his warmth.
"Look at me." Capa rewards my obedience with a kiss.
It begins gently enough, his huge, rough hands cradling my face while his lips barely brush against mine. Greedily, I press forward to deepen the kiss, but he breaks away to look at me.
"I haven't seen you much today." He smooths my hair down. "I've missed you."
"Me too." I cradle his face in my hands and watch as he lets out a shuddering breath. "I wish we had more chances to work together."
"I'll see if I can move around the chores roster next week." He nuzzles my hand. "Hopefully we can line our break times up as well so we can go and hang out in the Earth Room."
"That'd be great." I press a kiss to the corner of his mouth and nudge his nose with mine, silently pleading him to kiss me again.
He takes pity on my desperation, kissing me deeply. I part my lips and his tongue slips into my mouth, swirling a heady vortex of sensation that reverberates through every inch of me. Helpless and at his mercy, I try desperately to push closer to him, to feel his taut muscles beneath his shirt and-
Somebody clears their throat.
"Jesus!" I leap back from him, sending my empty cup scuttling across the floor. "Searle, I-"
"Searle, it's not-"
Searle puts his hand up to silence us.
"Congratulations." He rolls his eyes, pushing past me to grab some decaf. "Just, don't do that in the kitchen, yeah?"
Desperately, I look to Capa who has surreptitiously covered his lap with a tea-towel and the Saltines. In spite of my burning embarrassment, I stifle a laugh.
"Searle, listen-" Capa begins.
"No, you listen." Searle pours his coffee. "I'm not going to tell on you, but I do want to have a talk with both of you about the implications of this situation. Now, I suggest you go have a cold shower, separately, and meet me in my office in thirty minutes."
Searle slinks away, leaving Capa and I in stunned silence. I bury my face in my hands and sigh. Capa hops down from the counter and rubs my shoulder then wordlessly guides me to the bathrooms.
****
Capa and I reconvene outside Searle's office. I wring my hands, avoiding his gaze.
"Don't be scared." He murmurs. "It's only Searle."
"I don't know why I feel like I've done something wrong." I confess, anxiety rising like bile in my chest.
Capa glances up and down the hallway, tilts my face up to look at him for a moment, then pulls me into a hug.
"I'm not feeling great about it, either," He admits, stroking my hair. "But we're gonna go in there and hear him out, then we'll decide what to do."
"I guess it was always gonna come to this."
"Mm." Capa breaks the embrace. "C'mon."
As we enter his office, Searle looks up from his book and places it face down on his desk. I notice it's old and tattered, and titled Children of Men.
"Glad you both could make it." He swivels his chair around as he greets us. "You look like a pair of kids in the principal's office. Try not to feel so tense, I'm here to help."
Capa and I sit down in silence. I want the comfort of his hand in mine, but somehow it feels wrong to do it in front of Searle.
"So, do either of you have anything to say, or will I start things off?"
Capa and I exchange a glance. I shake my head. Capa looks as if he is about to say something, but he bites his lip and stays silent.
"Alright." Searle raises his eyebrows. "I guess I'll just get it out of the way and say that I've known about you two for a while."
"How...?" Capa frowns as we exchange a glance.
"Well, you're not exactly subtle about it, are you?" He sculls the last of his decaf and winces. "God, I miss real coffee. Anyway, I know you're trying to hide it, but I don't know how long you expect that to last."
"We're just worried about how everyone's going to take it." I wring my hands.
"I wouldn't worry about that. Whatever tensions come up can be ironed out with a mediator." Searle's face softens. "But we need to think about whether you should tell anyone at all. I suggest you tell Kaneda, so he can work with me to reduce friction if things get hairy between the two of you."
"I can't imagine that happening." Capa says.
"Well, you think that now, but it's not always that straightforward. For instance, if this is just a friends with benefits situation, I think you ought to keep it to yourselves until it fizzles out; but beyond that, you should consider the risks. We're going to be stuck here for another two years at least, so it'll be hard on all of us if things go wrong between you two."
I look over at Capa and he offers me his hand. After a moment of hesitation, I take it.
"It's not like that for us." He assures him.
"It didn't just happen overnight." I squeeze his hand. "Well, it kind of did, but it was a long time coming."
"You're really serious about this, huh? I figured as much." Searle grins at Capa. "You've been smiling so much, it was kinda scaring me."
Capa rolls his eyes, a warm tint rising on his cheeks
"Doctor Aldrin," Searle addresses me directly, suddenly serious. "I want to make it clear to you that I don't doubt your ability to carry out your medic and psych duties under these circumstances, but I think it would be in everyone's best interests if you're no longer assigned as mediator in conflicts involving Capa."
"I agree. I'll be the first to admit I have a bias here. I guess I didn't take my training seriously enough."
"Training isn't perfect." He assures me. "You can try to rationalize your feelings away, but it won't work. It can't work. People are built to love. We do it to survive, so really, it's going to happen whether it's convenient or not."
I turn to look at Capa, feeling sunshine beaming into me from his radiant blue eyes. He offers me a smile and runs his thumb over my knuckles.
"So what should we do moving forward?" He presses.
"Well that's up to you. You can take people aside and tell them if you feel that's going to be beneficial, or you can just start acting like a couple and the crew will figure it out themselves. You could even call a meeting, sit everyone down real serious." Searle chuckles. "Either way, I imagine you'll get a little pushback to begin with."
"From Mace?" Capa asks.
"Yes, I expect he'll argue that a relationship between you two will distract you from the mission, but ultimately jealously on his and Cassie's part will be contributing factors."
"Cassie? Jealous?" I gasp.
I have worked with Cassie often during our voyage through the solar system, and over that time I've grown to enjoy our time together and to admire her free spirit. Despite this, I have sensed a distance between her and I, and now I know why. Mace, on the other hand, wears his heart on his sleeve. I have long known of his feelings for me, and for a time I tried to see him in the same light that he sees me. At the time, it seemed that my fondness for Capa was nothing short of futile, but even in my hopelessness, I knew that Mace and I would never work together.
"Yes, she's come to me several times to discuss her feelings for Capa." Searle frowns sympathetically. "I've done my best to help her cope without encouraging her. I feel that your relationship will be a tough hurdle for her to get over, but I think it will help her to build resilience. Same with Mace. It's quite tragic, really. They want you, and you want each other."
Feeling more than a little morose, I glance at Capa and squeeze his hand. He understands my signal and clears his throat.
"Thanks for the advice, Searle." The men exchange a handshake in mutual admiration.
"Thank you." I peck him on the cheek, earning a delighted grin. "Your opinion is invaluable."
Doc's Character Profile - word count:ย 322
Metrodora "Doc" Aldrin - Medic
Nationality - Australian
Doc grew up academically gifted, graduating from highschool at fifteen and moving to the United States to study medicine in the Ivy League at her parents' behest. Pursuing her childhood fascination with space, she went on to specialise in aeronautical medicine, eventually gaining a position in the same research lab as Searle where they became fast friends.
Doc was too young to accompany the first Icarus mission, but in the years following, she became obsessed with space travel and sought out a position on the Icarus II.
Seeing her passion and potential as an asset on board, Searle helped her mask her anxiety and depression during the psychiatric evaluation, vowing to help her overcome her issues in the years they would spend living together.
Doc holds a maternal view of her crewmates, despite being the youngest on board. She makes a point of fostering personal bonds with each of the crew, both to keep tabs on their health and because she craves human connection. She loves her crew like family and hopes that during the mission they with both grow as people, and grow to appreciate eachother the way she does.
Though she does not consider herself a natural conversationalist, she often draws closed-off people out of their shells due to her willingness to share personal feelings and experiences with people soon after meeting them. It is this mutual honesty that both Mace and Capa fell for, though Mace's feelings come from being listened to, while Capa's come from the act of listening.
Doc lives happily without religion, feeling comfortable that her success is self-made and her fate is in her own hands. The closest thing to God in her eyes is the life-giving power of the sun. As Icarus draws closer to the sun's surface, she wonders if this comparison is still metaphorical.
At night she dreams of the vastness of space, and of Capa.

So @pinguwrites mentioned about the backstories of Cillianverse characters and I am gonna give some of my insight on them lol.
Also, disclaimer. In this post I'm only gonna include the characters whose movies I have completed. But as I see more movies, I'll add their characters in the next post like this. I won't include Jonathan Crane (because I strongly stick to the backstory that DC comics has provided) and Oppenheimer (it's obvious why).
Now that I have established this, let's gets started โจ
Neil Lewis
Watching The Detectives
Neil was born in a family containing a single soccer mum and a big sister who is at least seven years older than him. Neil was shy as a toddler but would be very invested into something once you give him a chance.
He didn't change much when he got to his school days. He had his fair share of friends and answered in the class like an average student. But what was special about him was that he had the most unique stories. When it came to show and tell or small story writing, no one could beat Neil in terms of creativity (but somehow he never got a prize because his grammar used to be horrible).
At highschool, he was definitely a target for bullying, but luckily his friends always defended him. I believe he met Lucien and Jonathan during highschool too. Neil was a comic + movie nerd and he would randomly start to speak out facts about it whenever he finds someone to talk to, and many didn't appreciate that so he was also sort of an outcast. But he didn't mind that because he had his small circle of friends.
Neil was again, average in his studies. But he was such a theatre kid. He never got the main role but he used to steal the show, even if this mf is acting as a tree. He was THAT talented. He has also participated in sports events but ends up chickening out in most of it. Until one day he practised hard with his sister for a match against the rival school and 'accidentally' won his school the baseball trophy. Neil's mom has a photo of him crying with a red face and holding the well-deserved trophy high in his arms. We love our crybaby.
Neil graduated from high school and went into a decent university where he took film studies as his major, despite his mom and sister wanting him to join something that would make him 'rich and popular' like sports or music.
College Neil was an absolute blast. He had his own style, and he had a second-hand guitar from one of his seniors. He used to drive his sister's old motorcycle to college and he also learnt driving a car from her. Neil met Denise during his final year and after graduation, Neil with help of his sister and his friends opened the famous Gumshoe video store.
Jackson Rippner
Red Eye
Okay, for this. I really want to thank @/pinguwrites Jackson Rippner bot. It literally provided a very cool backstory that makes so much sense for someone like our thin-eyebrowed assassin. So I'm gonna copy paste some of it here + add some lines of my own.
Jack's parents were drug addicts and he used to live in a slum filled with junkies and small-scale criminals where no one had any honor or sympathy for one another. So the neighbourhood was always filthy and toxic. He has seen murders and robberies at such a young age. And poor boy had no choice but to learn how to fight and protect himself.
Things only got worse as he grew older. He had to join a gang because a child living alone in slums was as a good as dead. The gang would provide him food, clothes and shelter in exchange of stealing, killing and burning houses. He hated everything he did but he had to do it for surviving.
After years of being a criminal for his whole teenhood, he decided to quit it and do something good for once. So he joined the military. But nothing was good there either. With strict routine and rules, and the other recruits bullying him for his past. He used to get into a lot of fights with his peers and he had developed quite a temper there.
Everywhere was war and destruction. Never once that he was spared from witnessing violence and gore that Jack had gone numb from all of it. From feeling disgust and anger, he now loves watching people suffer, especially if he is causing their pain.
He left the military to start everything again, but he couldn't get any ordinary job because he didn't have any formal education. However, he was noticed by a secret association of assassins and contract killers. The agency took Jack in and taught him all and everything which is needed to become a spy.
Also, I highly believe Jackson Rippner is not even his real name. It would be something else that his parents used to call him but he would rather have someone use his alias than his birth name (it brings bad memories).
Jim
28 Days Later
Jim didn't have anything crazy going on with him (at least before the apocalypse lol). He has had a loving family who supported him throughout his life. But what's mysterious and wierd about him is that he was an ordinary bicycle courier man, *yet* he managed to sabotage what, 10-12 soldiers single-handedly?! That ain't male hormones dude, that's something else ๐ญ
So, I at least think that he used to do something more before becoming a delivery man. Perhaps something like a sports player, or a security guard of some complex or maybe he was still a courier man! But of more heavier objects like crates of fruits or something. But one thing is for sure is that he was a guy who would rather do odd jobs than a 9-5.
Also, canonically the director of the movie has described him to be a soft-looking man with a body strong as an iron, and that's so real y'all. Jim throughout the movie was underestimated until the end where he ended up becoming the hero of the whole show. And you know what, we love that.
Also, I don't think he ever had a girlfriend before. And Jim gives strong virgin vibes yet knows where the clit is.
Jim
The Delinquent Season
Jim was a simple boy. He also didn't have much crazy going on with his childhood too. He was quite a smart student and a straight-A kid. His parents were strict regarding his grades and behaviour but they raised him normally. He had his fair share of playing around, partying etc. But nothing hardcore, and Jim doesn't like it that way anyway.
He got into a reputed college away from home and must have studied something sophisticated like law or psychology. Jim in college only focused on his studies and didn't have many friends. He was quiet and light academia student who spent most of his time in library or alone in his desk at his dorm. He calls his parents once a week and that was it.
He has worked from home since the start and met Danielle after two years. Then a year after he married her and had kids.
Raymond Leon
In Time
Ray is almost similar to Jackson in this case. He was born in timezone 12, also known as the ghetto. Where one minute is like a year for the people who live there. Ray's parents worked at the factory and had died quite early in his life due to a hazard that occured in their workplace. So he was adopted by his uncle who ran a pawn shop. He was a great role model and a second father to Ray. His uncle's dream was to see the world outside timezone 12. And naturally, Ray took on that.
He helped his uncle to run the shop and he used to venture out and doing odd jobs to bring some time. He also learnt how to do trade and gamble as it was one of the main sources of income in timezone 12. Ray was given basic education by his uncle and other skills such as cooking, driving. His uncle had made Ray into a fine and independent man, and for his 25th birthday, his uncle gave him a handgun.
Until one day when Ray was coming back from his work, he finds his uncle dead and bleeding on the floor. Not only his hard-earned time was stolen, the thieves had stabbed him in the chest five times. Ray was devastated and mourned for his only guardian's death. He blamed himself for not being there for him when he needed him the most. But what burnt inside him more was anger and revenge.
With all the skills he had gained while being under his uncle, he was able to track down the thieves. They were not some ordinary robbers but an infamous gang who like to steal from people with a lot of time. He has seen them in the gambling bars many times and it was time to end their reign. Ray had managed to outsmart and kill everyone in the group. He genuinely felt disgusted but also satisfied murdering them.
A few days later, Ray was approached by the head of the Timekeepers who had tracked him. They detected time being lost but not stolen. Ray had not stolen even one second after killing the group. It made the timekeeper intrigued by the young man. Ray was offered to work under him, and that's how Ray got out of the timezone 12 forever.
Robert Capa
Sunshine
The sun godโข himself. Our beloved Robert was a prodigy in science. Since his childhood, he had always wanted to see a proper sunrise from the horizon of Sydney. He helped his family with the winter while also planning out ways that he can bring out sunny days like it used to.
His room was filled with posters of Icarus I and its crew members. He wanted to be like them but also didn't want to be like them. He wanted to be the reason humanity would feel pure sunshine on their skin but he also didn't want to fail and just disappear when they were *this* close to revive the sun. He opted physics as his passion and had dreams of how earth used to be before it went into the phase of eternal winter.
During his training for venturing into space and fulfilling their mission, Robert was quite determined too. He got acquainted with the rest of the crew members but he usually kept everything to himself. He was only focused on bringing the sun back and returning to see his parents and sister.
I also think Robert has synesthesia. He has a vivid imagination and can sense colours and sounds at the same time. That would really explain his last scene.
Anyways, that's all for my rant. Thank you for listening. Part 2 will come soon once I have watched enough movies.
