Fics like But a Dream

He pulled over just after the bridge, the air cool and dank, sea-green light reflected from the river onto the bridge’s underside, where it danced like a star system in flux, and then he moved towards the other end of the boat. There was a stone staircase just beside them, leading down from St Sophia’s lawn to the river’s towpath, and it was a bright spot of sunlight in his peripheral vision. As Asriel ran his hand along the punt’s prow and got a splinter, the sunlight was blocked by something, and a shadow fell across the stone steps. He looked up and calmly met her eyes. Her dress was lilac and sheer, her nails cerise, her suede heels a sensual, vaginal pink. Her dark hair was soft, curled, and shining. Her daemon’s fur was similarly bright, gold like sunlight, or the metal of her wedding band. “And what do we have here?” she said, sipping from a flute of champagne. “Was that you causing havoc, as per usual?” (Three estranged people spend a summer’s day in a boat.)
