He Says He Is An Experimental Theologian by ErinPtah
Fandoms: Welcome to Night Vale, His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
05 Feb 2021

Summary
Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).
But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.

Summary
“You really wanna kiss me, Kogane?” Lance asks, suddenly serious. His fingers twitch anxiously and his teeth gnaw at his bottom lip.
Keith looks at him through the screen, right into his blue-brown eyes. (He can never tell what color Lance’s eyes are--they always seem to be shifting and changing in the light, just like the inside of a kaleidoscope.) “Yeah,” He breathes. “Yeah. You just said you wanted to make me a mixtape in a declaration of your love to me. I want to kiss you so hard right now.”

Summary
Goose has been dead for a week and a half when Iceman loses his first wingman in a dogfight with six Soviet MiGs over the Sea of Okhotsk.
Goose has been dead for thirty years when Iceman loses his second wingman to a surface-to-air missile on the tail-end of a mission he's responsible for: he's sent his family on a suicide mission to destroy a uranium enrichment facility in Russia's Far East.
This is the story of those thirty years in the middle.
(Or: Tom Kazansky rises through the ranks while trying to stay a good man. If he ever was one to begin with.)
[Final edit 2/4/23. See Ch. 1 notes for major changes.]

made me cry in the science building while putting off writing a paper about mosquito salivary proteins.
amazingly grounded in historical context. quietly heart wrenching. two people who take too long to say the words i love you but act it out all the same. MY HOMETOWN IS MENTIONED 🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🔥

absolutely incredible. i cried very much towards the end. the emphasis of love as something that makes us better, that caring for someone is one of the best parts of a person? the separation of sexuality from affection? i also really enjoyed how there was no crisis of sexuality.
in total, a genuinely lovely story about two people who love each other in a way they refuse to accept as wrong. it is gentle and sweet and emphasizes connection and just, wow.

updated bookmark five? years later:
meteorstuck davekat, in which they stumble into moiraileigance (spelling) which develops further. not as much other trolls but that’s ok they’re still there. dave is dealing with depression and ptsd and his sexuality and karkat is a rock for him to fall on.
