Sun/Moon
Barry and Lup lay on the deck of the Starblaster, stargazing. They hadn’t come out here together, Lup went out first and Barry sheepishly followed her. He couldn’t help it, really; he felt a bone-deep, physical attraction to her. Not horniness—well, not justhorniness—but like a gravitational pull.
The sky on this planet was like nothing he had ever seen. The stars were huge, and their light shifted from a soft lilac to a sea foam green. After what felt like an eternity of gentle silence, Lup looked over at him.
“Do you ever wish you were something else?”
He laughed quietly. ”Hmm… maybe Tom Arnold, or someone like that. Famous, but not too famous, y’know?”
“Not someone else,” Lup corrected. “Somethingelse.”
Barry didn’t quite know how to respond. He shook his head.
“I think I’d like to be a sun,” she whispered, almost to herself. Almost like he wasn’t meant to hear. But he did. He spent the next few days thinking about her question, and eventually found his answer.
There was a time, long before Lup entered his life, when he wondered what his purpose was. What anyone’s purpose was, really. Looking back on that period, it all seems so empty and meaningless. Now, he knows what his purpose is.
If Lup is a sun, then Barry is a planet. Orbiting effortlessly around her day after day, year after year, century after century. It’s not a difficult task, not by a long shot. He enjoys the endless rotation, enjoys revelling in her beauty day in and day out.

Lup is in the process of making a killer lasagna one afternoon when Barry approaches her. He looks nervous, standing in the entryway to the kitchen. He reminds her of a small child standing in their parents’ doorway, psyching himself up to confess he threw up.
“Y’know that thing you said the other day?” He asks, avoiding eye contact.
“About how we should call it ‘rubbing’ errands instead of ‘running’ errands?”
“No, about wanting to be something else?”
“Oh, yeah?”
“I’d be a planet.” He finally looks up from where he’d been twisting his hands together anxiously. “If I could be something else, I’d be a planet.”
“Huh,” Lup smiles softly. “That suits you, Bear.”
Barry nods, pleased with his answer. Lup barely pays attention to the rest of their conversation, too focused on the fact that her answer has changed.
If Barry is a planet, Lup is his moon.

Wrong fandom for this blog, but I’m really happy with this and don’t even use my TAZ blog anymore, so I figure I’d share from here! Happy Candlenights @adventuresloane <3 !! I also love me some Hurloane content, so I hope you like this! Plus a slightly brighter still image. :D
ID: a video and digital drawing of Hurley and Sloane from The Adventure Zone sitting on a rooftop together. Hurley is a Black halfling wearing a light pink top and black shorts. She has short pink hair with an orange streak in it that is sprawled around her messily, since she is laying down. She hangs one arm off the edge of the roof they’re on, and she holds a paper cup with that hand. Sloane is an elf with brown skin wearing a cropped black waistcoat and black leggings. She has long pink hair with a black streak in it. Sloane is sitting with her legs hanging off the edge and Hurley is laying her lower body across Sloane’s legs. They are surrounded by snacks, their pink and red pairs of boots, and their ram and raven masks. It is dark outside and the stars are out behind them, but there are lights coming from the windows of the building they’re on, and other buildings behind them. The video shows the ribbons on Hurley’s mask to be flowing in a breeze. The photo is a still shot from the video. End ID.
