Matters Of State

Okay hear me out about this Klance au:

Prison pen pals

Keith is in juvenile detention and there, Keith is signed up for this stupid pen pal program with a local highschool.

Lance is a local highschooler and has to write to whatever prisoner he's been assigned to for a class as extra credit because he's failing the fuck out of social studies and Mrs. Honey is a bitch.

The assignment entails keeping a correspondence with the prisoner long enough to at least have exchanged 3 letters and be able to tell the teacher something your pen pal said in the letters (their experience in juvenile detention or something). This is why his other classmates asked questions like "What's it like in prison?" and "Do you have any friends?" You know, easy questions that they could have their pen pals answer and basically be done.

Lance chose to be extra and ask stupid stuff like, "What happens when you drop the soap?" and "Did you kill someone?" in addition to the normal questions.

Keith answered really vaguely and sassily which annoyed Lance. He ended up getting intrigued by the mystery of who Keith Kogane is and ends up continuously sending him letters.

another heavy handed symbolism moment: my mom has a potted sunflower in the kitchen. because it is a sunflower, it keeps turning towards the light from the window. my mother keeps rotating it so it faces inward because she wants "to see its beautiful petals and have it really brighten up the space!" . the sunflower is visibly wilting .

i think all the characters in hxh are so cute ^_^

Idk what it is about this, but I can’t stop staring at this picture. It’s so prettyyyy

Keith

character who is sun-coded but not in the traditional ray-of-sunshine way. character who is sun-coded in the sense that they burn hot and bright and powerful, that they're a raging fury of fire and passion, and that maybe, just maybe, they are destroying themselves as they do so.
