<blockquote>Jupiter discovers that the one thing Caine Wise wants most in life is to be a pretty pretty bride on his wedding day. And she sets out to make that happen. Look, I'll be frank: this is over 7000 words of pure self-indulgence. My only hope is that it scratches an itch for my recipient as well.</blockquote> ➤ I almost didn't read this but I'm so glad I did because I am SUPER CHARMED

<blockquote>When Jupiter woke up, there was a small metal sphere on the pillow beside her. She blinked at it, because it certainly had not been there when she had gone to bed the night before. Then Aunt Nino began to stir and grumble as she too woke up and Jupiter snatched up the sphere, lobbing it hastily into her half-packed suitcase on her way to go and make the coffee.   In which Jupiter is propositioned by a space travel agency (but fancier!) and introduces Caine to her family.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The problem with owning something is suddenly it becomes your responsibility to take care of it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>And this boy who stands straight and bows his head and speaks softly and with grave and gracious respect, Nino thinks that Aleksa is right and that he has something to do with this Jupiter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Five times Caine got Stinger out of a bar fight (and one time Caine got into one).</blockquote>

<blockquote>Some highlights in the introduction of Caine Wise to the family of Her Majesty.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Jupiter Jones needs a green card. Caine Wise needs a place to live. What's a little marriage of convenience, between strangers?</blockquote>

<blockquote>An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The prompt: Jupiter finds out that because Caine's a splice he's never had a real birthday (cue horrified gasp). With Stinger and Kiza's help Jupiter throws an epic birthday party for Caine with cake and gifts galore. (basically a crack fic prompt). Birthday sex is optional, I just really want Caine to be happy and embarrassed/shy about how much people love him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>How does someone go from tracking an unknown target to diving to certain death through an impassible hurricane in order to save them? Maybe it goes a bit like this: a few death-defying feats of bravery, a fair bit of flirtation, a whole boatload of social awkwardness, a generous spoonful of sexual attraction. Mix with jokes, touching, taking care of each other, and trust. Season liberally with the spice of the forbidden and some good old-fashioned hormones, and add just a dash of where have you been all my life. Maybe it's not a recipe for true love- but what a way to start. Or: Caine Wise, from first rescue to last.</blockquote> ➤ Caine's perspective throughout the movie

<blockquote>The bees started coming to Jupiter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It's Halloween. Caine has a built-in costume. You do the math.</blockquote> ➤ awww I like this
