AWE posting 12.11.

The thing is, my read on Saga and Alex was very familial, the way their relationship was constantly reinforced alongside Saga's relationship to her daughter really made Alex seem like extended family of an indeterminate kind, the kind of "I've saved your ass, you've saved my ass, we're inseparable and operate as a single unit" intimacy that just goes beyond how we would box relationships in the real world, a queer and indeterminate kind of intimacy.

but

I am compelled to throw my lot in with Saga/Alex shippers for three reasons: a) people keep complaining about it as if the text isn't overwhelming in its support of the idea that Saga loves Alex from the bottom of her heart, b) Saga is almost 20 years younger than Casey and I am a slut for that May-December dynamic and c) have you??? Looked at Alex Casey?

In the spirit of "getting out through the center"

This was originally a part of Three Movements in C minor but I couldn't really figure out how to make it work in the context of that fic. I'm archiving it as a potential thing to build a second sonata off of, but mostly I'm trying to get in the habit of posting my WIPs if I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them in the future.
