Prompt #: 7
Title: Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ship(s): Kai/Lay
Rating: G
Word count: 5,370
Trigger(s): minor character death
Summary: Newly crowned King Kai is given a coronation gift, a beautiful someone to dance at his command. He doesn't want to command anyone, much less someone so heartbreakingly sad.
Author's Notes: Space is hard. I kind of regret choosing this prompt, but I liked the story I ended up working with. So thank you, my dear fairy, for letting me bounce ideas off you and get some good ideas.They jogged my mind a bit, although I will admit I was more lost than found while writing this, mostly because I did not want to make this into Star Wars, but all the terminology was coming from Star Wars, because that's what I really know. So I messed myself up a lot, but I ended up liking the story. Presentation could always be better, but it's pretty okay. The main alien races are pretty much human, but I was thinking of how to make races based off Mama powers. Decided it was too involved and to keep it as simple as possible. Bit of sci-fi, because they are on a foreign planet, and a bit of fantasy, with the creatures and bit of magic. The title comes from a David Bowe song, because I couldn't come with anything better at the time.
Way outside a far-off galaxy, separated from the inner system by a wide asteroid belt, orbits an exoplanet with no common name. It's called EXO...
