(*o*) few crushing perfect utterly beautiful words! thank you for writing this!
They dreamed of a world with wide skies and a quiet lake. He thinks he sees it now, Earth, in the still, dim light and the shadows on her skin. Her body is all flat expanses and sudden, subtle curves; her stomach clenches, plates shifting under a planet’s surface, and he tastes the ocean-salt along the curve of her cheek. she made him believe in her and her dream of earth, and i love that you compared her cancer to the nuclear destruction and her body to the wasteland that is earth. and i love even more that he sees it with his heart, like their dream was: beautiful and perfect and lovely ♥ the last sentences are so sad and true and perfect my heart aches!
