YE 46.2.14
By the time Sacre got home on Love Day this year, Aliset was already asleep, curled up on the bed and snoring as any whose body didn’t agree with gravity. Dinner was in the oven, candles unlit, but waiting. Aliset knew that the life of a doctor was always busy, and hours were never regular. She had grown used to this. So when she had finally taken her rest and gone to bed, she left a letter next to her, knowing Sacre would either find it, or her sensitive scales would when she slipped into bed.
~~~
Sacre,
As I sit down to write this letter, I find myself grappling with words that often elude me. I find myself at a loss for the usual florid language that might adorn a love letter and all the foreign silliness that surrounds one day in a year that others celebrate with grand gestures and eloquent words, candies and flowers et cetera ad nauseum. Poetry and grand metaphors have never been my forte, and I know you appreciate sincerity more than flowery language. So, I'll speak plainly, as I always have with you.
Loneliness can be as vast as the void itself, and in the vastness of our respective experiences and the intricacies of our connection, I have found a profound sense of belonging in your presence. The term "home" inadequately captures the depth of this sentiment, but it serves as a humble expression of the peace and stability you bring to my life. I won’t make grand promises or profess undying devotion. My reality is one of impermanence, and I have learned to navigate it with pragmatic acceptance. But in this existence, you are the constant, and for that, I am grateful. Beyond grateful.
Every man I've loved is dead. That, for too long, made me feel cursed, like my heart costs lives. You broke that self-imposed distance I maintained from matters of the heart. With you, I have found a refuge, a place where the echoes of the past grow faint, and the promise of a shared future becomes palpable. With you I have come to believe in the possibility of redemption, of healing old wounds and forging new beginnings. I know the complexities of our situation, the intricacies of our respective pasts and species. And yet, despite it all, I can’t see a future without you in it. It's a peculiar thing for a Senti, accustomed to the nomadic ebb and flow of our social tapestry, to claim a singular place as home. Yet, wherever you are, that's my home. In a world where I have often felt adrift and alone, the safest place for me to go, my home, is with you.
I wouldn’t ask you for grand gestures or lofty promises, but for something far more profound: your expertise, your knowledge as a geneticist.
We have been blessed with Marigold. I’ve told you how hard that is a concept for me before, children. Then you fixed my hips. I was told I wouldn’t safely bear children for another thirty years yet. You have already done so much for me, and for Mari, and everyone else in our lives. And yet, I cannot shake the yearning for more. I want to give her siblings, and you someone to teach and mold into the beauty I see in you. I don’t know how, but I’m having your babies. All I need is that perfect brain of yours to make the genetics work, and make sure your child is healthy. I don’t care if it has legs or a tail or what color the scales are or what its bones are made from. I want your healthy child. I’ll give you my firstborn for it.
I understand that it will be beyond difficult. But I know we can do it. We’re both too stubborn to fail, and you’re the best geneticist I know.
Whatever your answer, I love you. I want to be there for it all, to marry you when both your brides stand at the altar, no matter how long it takes. As long as your smile remains more precious than starlight, and as long as you'll have me.
Yours always, Aliset

Sacre put the letter down in the sickbay, it was quiet at the moment so she could think and be alone in peace. She pulled out a pen and a piece of paper and started writing.

My Beloved Aliset,
I often feel uncomfortable expressing my feelings directly and serving beside you has not given me the same opportunities to express them in this medium. When there is something I want to say to you, such as that I want to wrap myself around you and not let go, I can just say it.
So allow me to meander for a moment. I have always struggled with loneliness even when surrounded with comrades in arms. Your presence has touched the deepest parts of my soul, igniting a fire within me that burns brighter than a thousand suns. To hear you speak of finding a home in me, of feeling a sense of belonging and refuge in my presence, fills me with a profound sense of purpose and joy.
I know that I do want to build a home with you. To relieve some of the grief you have had to bear in your life and confront it together.
I look forward to the future we will build together, navigating the ups and downs of life hand in hand. Whatever challenges may come our way, I know that as long as we have each other, we can overcome anything.
I love you more than words can say, more than the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the beach. You are my everything, my world, my love.
Forever and always,
Sacre
~~~
Sacre put the letter down, putting it into its own envelope for delivery to her Senti lover. However, there was a second letter that she needed to write.
~~~
My Beloved Gravity,
If you are reading this, then I hope you have returned to my side. However, if not, then I want you to know that I will always love you. I miss the touch of your skin and the fire and hear your whispers of celestial desires.
Forever and always,
Sacre
~~~
Gravity reread one of the letters that Sacre had sent her before her ship had crashed and she set off on a world hopping adventure to try and get back home. Her internal sense of time told her that today was love day. So she began to compose a letter back home.
~~~
My Beloved Sacre,
I could use you beside me now. It’s hard to describe the chaotic and insane situation that we’ve gotten ourselves into. Your quiet strength and resolute stead-fastness anchor me. I don’t care where in the multiverse that I get thrown, as long as it is thrown with you by my side. I met another pair of us from a different universe. I hoped that they would be able to help me find my way back home to you. However, they had deliberately lost themselves after everything seemed lost from a massive Misshu invasion after Yamatai was forced to surrender to Kuvexia. It was hard hearing the story of that timeline, but it also showed me how much I rely on you. I will find my way back to you, I promise.
If I fly higher than the mountains, it is because you are the wind beneath my wings. I love you forever and for always,
Gravity

I think that’s the fastest JP we’ve ever done, @Soban
That said, still gonna add more letters to this as they come up. I feel like that would be a nice thing for them to do. Little notes and letters whenever either of them feels they can't communicate something in spoken word.[/spoiler/
