most of the time i was a polarist when shipping couples on roswell . but every once in a while i explored other options. i started out as a dreamer, but by season 2 was a solid polarist. then toward the end of the show's run i saw the appeal of the loyalist ship. this fanfic is one of the few loyalist ones i wrote, and i have to say, i still kinda like it. i may be a polarist first, but i'm a loyalist second. liz was my favorite character on this show, so my ships basically revolve around her. a while back melinda metz had this twitter thread about liz and the fact that she had been whitewashed on the television show, even though she was latina in the books. even though she had been whitewashed, i think there was a part of me that always thought of her as latina. and that's a big part of why i loved her. anyway the first part of this cheesily named story is after the jump. (you get an explanation for the cheesiness early on.)
