You are his core and center, your beloved; know the sparkings and banked whisperings of his power as it flows through and around him. You are contained and subsumed and sustaining and your every beat is love, made for and of him. And in your strength and your simplicity you buoy him up, and you know joy.
And as long as you float free of him, suspended behind his spine, in-reaching – ropey arteries tie you to him, warm and full and laden-gold – you've been here before, seen him like this before, where have you –

Chapter Content Notes:
So I herd u liek self-hating starships. Suicidality, PTSD, daymares, hallucinations, body horror, helmsman stuff, severe mental illness. You know all those communication issues and codependency tags from previous chapters? Yeah, that stuff comes to a head here too.
Other Notes: Discord party ongoing!
