➺ genre & warnings: sci-fi, near future, fluff, falling in love without seeing each other, minor hurt/comfort, coworkers au (but in space), space traffic controllers; brief blood/injury mention
➺ synopsis: in which you go to your job as a space traffic controller every day looking forward to your shifts with one specific coworker who you might be falling head over heels for. and sure, you don't know quebec's real name, nor what he looks like, but you two talk for hours a day between guiding landings and take-offs, and you know him better than anyone else. you're perfectly happy, until his end of the comms falls silent one day and won't reconnect
➺ extra info: i recommend being aware of the existence of the icao alphabet so ur not thrown for a complete loop by ppl's nicknames in here lol. u don't need it memorized but i swear i didn't pull these words out of thin air ok. also, in aviation, the number 9 is pronounced niner, ur not going crazy and neither am i

❝I've been falling every day
since I first met you.❞
stolen glances,
hushed whispers,
teasing breaths,
lingering touches.
