bottom line, we made it out the first time still in love and half alive
When Jack draws her forward, the shift is sudden enough that it steals what little breath she had left. The first real rush of sensation hits her like a breaking wave, sharp and bright and utterly unlike anything she has ever experienced before. She cries out in genuine shock, the sound torn from her without thought or restraint, her fingers tightening convulsively in his hair as her body arches instinctively toward him.
The pleasure is not heat alone now; it's pressure and pulse and rhythm, rolling through her in widening circles that begin low and surge outward, up her spine, through her ribs, into her throat. Beneath them, the hull gives a subtle lurch as if answering her, the sea outside catching some echo of the swell cresting inside her. Her breath comes in broken fragments, chest heaving, eyes wide and unfocused as sensation overtakes language.
"Oh my gods," she pants, the words breathless and full of unvarnished awe. It's not merely that it feels good; it feels immense, like something vast and powerful has opened beneath her and is pulling her deeper. Every careful movement, every shift of warmth against her, sends fresh currents through her body, and the molten fire she once feared now roars greedily, no longer frightening but demanding more. Some instinct buried deep within her tells her this is only the beginning, that the crest has not yet broken, and the promise of that looming wave leaves her trembling, suspended between shock and fierce, hungry anticipation.

we didn't die, but no guarantees this time, but fuck it lets do it again
Siren's Wake | After she leaves a space, traces of her presence linger briefly: a faint scent of salt, the sound of distant water, a restless feeling in the chest. People rarely notice it consciously.
