I've been working on this piece off and on for a few months, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. A Country reunion inspired by the statues on Red's Fairview Bridge.

(Written in response to a prompt from this meme on Tumblr. Prompt: "RedBoxer + unresolved sexual tension."
He squeezed her shoulder as he said goodnight, and her nerves lit up with the electric thought of how those hands might feel elsewhere—skimming her waist, sliding over her hips, gently parting her thighs, with his mouth never far behind, hot and tender, his words long since lost to hungry groans—and all she could do was lean back against the door as her knees melted, look into his eyes, and stupidly whisper, “You, too.”

May. 26th, 2022 04:01 pmI've perused enough RP blogs on Tumblr to be aware of the concept of faceclaims. I'm not particularly attached to the idea, usually satisfied with either whatever canon provides or what my own imagination dreams up. However, for a certain character with no canonical face, I came across someone who is a pretty darn good fit with the concept art, via, of all things, my mother's telenovela fixation.
I stubbornly call him Blue, but most call him The Boxer, from Transistor, and I really wouldn't be disappointed at all to consider him looking like this (under a cut so as not to spoil anyone else's headcanon if they don't want to see!).

Okay, now that I've probably made a damn fool of myself, I shall go take a cold shower and try to remind myself that no, this is probably not the level of handsome Supergiant imagined for The Boxer. Then again, that concept art certainly suggests otherwise. ;)

She can't control when inspiration strikes, though she can mildly curse it when it finds her sated and warm in the arms of the man she loves, the handwraps he hadn't taken the time to remove the night before deliciously rough against her skin. She extricates herself from his embrace slowly, careful not to wake him, then dresses and takes a seat at the desk across the room, where she tries to capture the feelings that tumble through her mind and her heart, in words that she may never share but cannot possibly contain.
Later, as the first rays of sun cascade through the window, she hears him stir. She listens as he dresses, unable to resist casting an appreciative glance over her shoulder. He doesn't notice; instead, he wordlessly goes into the kitchen and returns, minutes later, a steaming mug in each hand. He sets one down beside her and kisses her cheek.
"Morning," he says. "Inspiration struck fierce, huh?"
"You know you have that effect on me."
"What, last night?" He cocks an eyebrow and crooked grin. "Should I be worried?"
"Not at all." She leans back, smiles up at him, and winks. "I never kiss and tell."

Summary: When the Process begins to affect Auden inside the Transistor, Red seeks to comfort him with her song. But what he sings back to her breaks her heart.
Notes: Cross-posted todrabble_zone
Auden may have lost his body, but Red was grateful to still have his voice. It anchored her in the nightmare unfolding around her, reassuring, encouraging, affectionate. Though she couldn't respond to him, his words enveloped her, the next best things to his arms.
Then the Process took that, too. Whatever that large creature was, it affected Auden inside the Transistor, leaving him a confused mess, pivoting between weak jokes, sappy declarations, and outright resignation seemingly at random. She could feel him slipping away, and, in a desperate moment, she pulled the Transistor close and began to hum to him.
"When you speak, I hear silence," he lisped along. A leaden dread settled in Red's stomach, and she stopped humming and opened her eyes.
"Whassamatter?" he slurred. "I mess up?"
She swallowed hard and nodded, tears threatening to spill over.
"Wrong key?"
Another nod.
"Oh. Sorry. I'll do better next time."
She faked a smile. She didn't have the heart to tell him it was the wrong song. How could he forget "Paper Boats?"
She adjusted her grip on the Transistor and pressed onward, determined to find whatever caused this and break its heart.
Just like it had broken hers.

Rating/Warning: General Audiences / No Warnings Apply
Summary: Predictable weather and a predictable public leave them both feeling trapped and alone, unaware of each other and what they have in common. (Pre-canon, pre-meeting).
Notes: Cross-posted todrabble_zone
Auden knows that he has lost again, even before he opens his eyes and sees the sunlight streaming through his apartment's ill-fitting blinds.
It has taunted him daily for months, now, no matter what buttons he presses on the terminals around town. It's there, jabbing spears into his brain whenever he's hungover; it's there, shining on injuries from hard-fought bouts. It's there today, reminding him that, in a city where, supposedly, everyone has a voice, his is never heard.
He gets up, grumbling and shielding his eyes, desperate for a change in the weather, wondering what's so great about sunshine.
***
Red looks out her window at the blue sky overhead, but she doesn't feel much like smiling.
She's given her fans what they want, happily; but want about what she wants? She doesn't necessarily mind writing and singing pleasant songs, but life is more than flowers and sunshine, especially in Cloudbank, where the city's ideals depend on compliance, on the many becoming one, in thought and in action.
She sighs, knowing she can't yet say what she feels, for nobody's ready to listen. She can only wait for a change in the weather, and wonder what's so great about sunshine.

Summary: Red discovers a small velvet box in the pocket of Auden's jacket, and answers the question he never got to properly ask.
Red's eyebrows rose, and Auden watched curiosity displace determination in her eyes as she slowed her pace and eventually stopped running.
"Why are we stopping?" he asked. "You okay, Red? You're not hurt, are you?"
She shook her head, then shifted the Transistor to her left hand while she reached into his jacket pocket with her right. Inside the Transistor, the blue wheat-like stalks around him swayed with the motion, and he craned his neck to watch her, though he knew exactly what she would find.
He could see in her expression the moment her fingertips brushed against the little velvet box in his pocket, and he felt what was left of his heart break in tandem with hers.
