[[would you be up for Force Bond and discussing stars since it's the only neutral topic they can sort of agree on?]]

[m/m for shipping, gen good, cross canon amazing. Listen, Nida LOVES space. A lot. 100% of these work for him and he will interact with anyone if the interaction is about stars.]

[ OTA for gen. M/F for ships. Cross-canon welcome. ]

[ available in 616 or marvel's ps4 canon. 25+ shipping only. ]

[OTA for gen, F/F for shipping or anything more. Canon, cross canon, assumed CR, etc. all loved!]

[Poor, long-suffering Sirius. You were probably minding your own business, thinking innocent thoughts and otherwise being a well-behaved little lad when a ball of crumpled parchment hit you in the ear. Who could have lobbed this projectile at you?]

Oi, Padfoot.

[Surprisingly, it's Remus. Out of all of the Marauders, Remus is usually the least likely to attack his friends unprovoked. This time, though, the attack is necessary: Remus is at the next telescope along the parapet of the Astronomy tower, too far away to comfortably tap him on the shoulder like a normal person.]

When are you rising above the horizon tonight?

[He's asking about Sirius, the Dog Star. Sirius and the star for which he is named are clearly interchangeable. The star should be rising above the horizon tonight, but the moon is still mostly full and its light is causing all of the stars in the sky to look dim. Perhaps this is why Remus is so impatient: it's only been a couple of days since the full moon, and he's still very tired. As soon as they can find Sirius, perhaps they can finish their star charts and go back to Gryffindor Tower.]

[ Lisa's eyes widened, the stars flying across the sky creating golden speckles within the blue, her eyes mirroring the glittering night sky. The fact that they kept falling one after the other was pretty strange, but even stranger things had been happening in Sumaru City lately. It could have been a rare star shower that probably scientifically existed and explained the whole thing anyway. It was really too pretty for her to care. She was more in awe than anything of how beautiful it was and how romantic it could be. There would be nothing more perfect than to have a super cool, super handsome boyfriend on her arm to share in this special moment. A very, very specific cool and handsome boy who pays her absolutely no mind... so, she just sits on the park swing by her lonesome, dragging her sneakers in the dirt and she just barely swings back and forth. ]

Hoh ai di... [ She sighs dreamily, one hand curled in a tight fist over her heart, head tilting to the side as she watches star fall after star fall. She closes her eyes, a wistfulness in her voice. Since Day One, Tatsuya had always made it clear to Lisa that he had absolutely no interest in her as a girlfriend, and sometimes, she thought -- but reasoned to herself that she only imagined this -- that she'd seen a look of disgust on his face towards her a few times. But if he hated her, she absolutely couldn't take that. He at least, she was certain, definitely liked her enough that he would allow her to cling to and claim him as she pleased, and that was a privilege allowed only to her.

Well, when it came to someone else, she wasn't really sure she was actually in the running. She hated to admit it, but it was clear Tatsuya had a bond with someone else that his bond with Lisa couldn't compete with. ]

But no matter what, not a wish or a rumor could ever make my dreams come true.

[ Not that she would take the opportunity to if it would work! Maybe...

No, she was a good friend at the end of the day, and at the end of the day she loved Tatsuya enough that she wanted his happiness above her own. ]

[ oh look it's the person you definitely wanted to see right now while thinking wistfully of your unrequited love. ]

Lisa!

[ he spotted her from a distance so he came running. don't worry, he didn't overhear her muttering to herself ]

Were you also hoping to catch a glimpse of the Perseids tonight? They're predicted to be especially bright this year...
