Summary
"In the back of Inej’s mind, something asked just what that really meant about her, and whether it would really be as okay for Kaz as it would for her if they never got there. They hadn’t talked about it; they kissed and held hands and slept next to each other (when they could), and they had both expressed interest in hugging, cuddling, and a lot more kissing, but past that was a comfortably blurry space they never quite got around to thinking about. It was all very gentle, all very beautiful. All very just what Inej had always wanted."
If you are of the persuasion that it’s problematic to headcanon these particular two characters as ace, one simple thing to do is just not read this fic. Alternatively, you could read it and remember that you can always change your mind. I do not write their asexualities as a result of their traumas, nor I do not imagining them opting out of moving forward and healing because of being asexual. Inevitably, their traumas are how come they’re ace-coded, but one need not erase or misrepresent either thing. I write each as informing the other, much as each aspect of a real person’s lived experience inform one another.
