Kent/Feldspar
Dec. 13th, 2024 07:37 pm"Just once more," they had said when Ellie's team petitioned for it. She was busy with Palmer, falling in love with science while he fell in love with God, and Kent was left to pick up the pieces. He wanted another damn go at it. The Machine had a pricetag in the billions; it was begging to be used again.
But they wouldn't let Ellie go. They wouldn't let just anyone go. They wanted someone who knew how it worked, who had been there from the beginning, but someone who isn't completely taken in by Ellie's words.
That leads them to a dozen people and they end up with Kent. He's blind, but that's not what decides it. They claim that he wouldn't hallucinate the way Ellie did. That he has a unique perspective.
And, he's already proven himself steady and loyal.
He experiences it all the way that Ellie does, but something goes wrong on the other end. Maybe another terrorist attack. Maybe not. All he knows is that he's in the sphere and then, suddenly, he's floating, unable to find his footing until a great crash and he slams into the bottom of the machine.
He groans, pulling his helmet on with a grunt and a wince.
"Fuck this," he mutters, finding the edge of the sphere with his hands. There was a door there somewhere. He just - has to find it.

Date: 2025-04-18 02:29 pm (UTC)The idea hits on a fantasy they never knew they had, fucking Kent in the pilot’s seat of their own ship. Their moan gets ever-so-slightly louder before they forcibly clamp their hand over their own mouth.
Feldspar folds their legs around Kent’s hips and starts to fuck themselves back on him, hand still muffling their own noises.

“Kent,” they groan, “oh, stars, I can’t- I can’t…”

They pull on their trousers quickly and go to fetch the little hatchling to give them something to eat.

Date: 2025-04-19 07:35 pm (UTC)Kent turns over and lies back down, but he doesn't sleep. He just rests a while, listening to the sounds of the two people he loves the most in the other room.
He'll wait for Feldspar.
