Supplies and Materials: saturation, mural, canvas (all except the last), brush (meritorious), acrylic, oils, stickers (In space, astronauts cannot cry because there is no gravity, so the tears can't flow.), feathers, fabric, modeling clay, pastels (my current gen + romance card B4 "holy place"), novelty beads ("Duty is heavier than a mountain, death is lighter than a feather." - Imperial Rescript to Soldiers and Sailors), glitter ("Evil is a point of view." – Anne Rice)

Characters: Simon, Michaela, Ruth
Warnings: Death, war, kidnapping, Michaela taking Simon's mind away with and without his consent, suicidal ideation, references to self-injury and attempted suicide, depiction of depression, flashbacks, Vikings, plague, very brief reference to adultery, familial death, fire, ableism and internalized ableism. I think that's all of them. If I missed any, please let me know.
Notes: Constructive criticism welcome, as always. Last Jade! This saturation took for fucking ever. I've been working on it for...I don't know, at least two months or so. Anyway, a few things to note: Simon uses many different names through this, but it's always him. He occasionally refers to another man named Simon, who was a good friend of his during his original life, sorry if it's confusing. He also perceives Michaela as male sometimes and female sometimes, but if a tall blond/e turns up, especially with long fingers, said blond/e is always Michaela. And if anyone (except Kat, who already knows) manages to guess Simon's original identity from this, I'll write them a drabble of their choice.
