Work is complete!
What’s on the Inside That Counts, on AO3. In the Found Cat near-Earth A/U, this is how Kes and Shara met.
Predictably, it’s not boring.
(Fluff, though. And reckonings with ambition. OK I wrote this when I was sad and I feel better now. Which is what the whole Lost and Found series is about.)
“I mean,” Kes said, “it wasn’t like I could go anywhere, I would have needed like, a bucket to carry my organs around in.” He was still staring at the little heart on the piece of paper. “Oh holy fuck, Lt. Bey touched my organs.” He’d sort of forgotten that. “She had to like, push them back in so she could drag me out of there. Oh gross. Holy shit that’s gross.”
“Maybe that’s why she drew a heart,” Vaughan said.
“Holy shit that is why,” Kes said. “Maybe that’s not supposed to be a heart. Maybe it’s intestines.”
“It’s probably not intestines,” the doctor said, amused.
“Jesus Christ,” Kes said, and held the piece of paper against his chest. “She’s the baddest bitch to ever live. That is so fucking badass.”
“That’s what you’re impressed with,” the doctor said.
“I mean,” Vaughan said. “I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little bit jealous.”
Kes was looking at the paper again. He tilted it. “Maybe that’s a spleen,” he said. “What does a human spleen look like, Doc?”
