My various short stories, thoughts and headcannons about Love and Deepspace.
I publish them first in my tumblr blog ( link in bio), then with some delay here as well.
Content: angst, and hurt with comfort, a kiss at the end, many, many tears
based on this request on my tumblr:
i would like to ask for reuniting w ex!bf sylus whom non mc!reader broke up with after finding out what his occupation was because they're a "law abiding citizen" and wants a normal life.
I'm not sure if you write for nonmc, so if not it can just be mc! But but i can imagine non mc!reader being a white collar worker, which is professional work and all that stuff. I just want to hear your thoughts regarding this very juicy drama. Will they get back together, or will reader keep their resolve strong? How will Sylus act after the sudden break up?

You're sitting in the staff room opposite Millie, the secretary of the leading partner here at the lawyers' bureau you're working for. The older Lady with warm brown eyes and a sleek grey bun is your best friend and sometimes like a mother towards you. You're grateful for her presence and care about you, even more now that you've made the most tortured decision in your life so far.
"You look like shit, my dear." Millie dryly states with slight worry in her warm eyes while nipping her afternoon tea from a plain white cup. "Tell me what bothers you."
Of course, she noticed, and you sigh heavily, suppressing the tears that threaten to spill out of your eyes by the thought of what you did a few days ago. "I broke up with him, Millie. I told him that it's over and that I don't want to see him ever again." Grinding your teeth, you try to press the lump in your throat back to where it belongs, down your stomach to stay there like a heavy stone for the rest of your life.
At your confession, the older lady gasps, hand flies to her mouth, "Oh my! Darling! What happened? Didn't you always say how sweet he is and that he's the best that you've ever experienced?"
Now your tears finally start spilling with her words, reminding you of all the wonderful times you spent with Sylus, the man who always treated you like his queen. Yeah, you're sure you will never meet a man who adores you like he does. But sometimes love alone isn't enough.
"That's right. But..." you cry into a tissue that your best friend hands you with pitiful eyes, "but I had to do it after I found something out about him." Now you look at her with tear-filled eyes. "His job, Millie... he is involved in criminal activities. How can I be together with a man who disrespects the law when I'm literally living and working to defend it?"
The brown eyes of the elderly woman grew soft and filled with an understanding that only people with much experience in life have, like her. "Oh dear!" she whispers tenderly as she cups one of your hands with her own, the thin wrinkled skin warm on your cold one.
And you sob even more, tears falling down your face in a constant stream. "He's living a hazardous life, Milli, wrapped knee-deep in who knows how dangerous deals and whatnot. I'm a white collar worker, vowed to respect the law and defend the innocent, and bring justice to those who have done wrong." You spill out between the dread that trembles your whole body.
