Summary: For st_respect's Ship Wars, prompt #6: love.

Artist's Note: I wasn't originally part of this team, but then weepingnaiad absconded sent me on a stock image search, and we ended up liking three of the four of the images I'd found. Then the composite idea came to me on a 2 hour bus ride, resulting in this.

Anyway, this isn't supposed to make sense on its own, so the title above is the link to the entire fic with the accompanying vid and art.

( I know it shouldn't be hard after nearly three years apart, a few more weeks shouldn't be a big deal, and I might have managed it, except that now my bed smells like you... like us. )
