Hi, can I ask for Happy Old Men?

Happy Old Men is about a trio of clones who got the chance to grow old together. 💚

Not revealing anything else because want it to be a surprise (writing it for a celebration thingie) but here's a sentence with no names

It took some effort and cajoling from A and B to get C into their bed, large enough to fit three aging clones with aching bones.

what color brings you peace?

Blue! I love all kinds of blue. The color of the night sky, the colors of the ocean, sapphires and kingfishers and cornflowers.

Thanks for the question!

[gabetheunknown]

do you have a favorite towel?

I don't actually, but I do have a weird thing for new towels

they just feel superior to the old, also fine towels you know xd

thank you for asking <3

In the eye of the beholder

Written and knitted (more info on that under the cut) for @waxerboilmonth week 1: "Something is different."

"I've got some gold paint left over if you need to touch up some of that too," Waxer said and stuck his tongue back out between his teeth, as he repainted the gold lines on his helmet.

He was lucky that he'd just lifted the brush for the next coat when Boil slammed his bucket down on the bunk with enough force to make it bounce.

Startled, Waxer looked up and came face to face with an irate Boil.

"Wax, I need you to have flight squadron delta scrubbing the fresher floors with their toothbrushes," he demanded. "Or… or the toilet seats!"

"Wha-?" Waxer didn't even get to finish his question before Boil had picked his helmet up again and thrust it towards him.

"Look at this! All paint pots were like that!" he gesticulated wildly. "They contaminated every single one when they painted that twi'lek nose art."

Waxer looked. Well. That was certainly a different color than usual. Very vibrant. Exactly the garish color the deltas had picked for the twi'lek's skin if he had to guess.

"It's not that bad," he tried, even if it really was.

"Not that bad?!" Boil threw his hands up. "It's kriffing pink!"

Knitting background info:

These are about 6,4 cm / 2.5 inches on each side and my first foray into colorwork.

As such, the tension is too high in some places and too loose in others, warping both of them even after blocking (= wetting the piece and pinning it in place until it's dry).

Boil's helmet is a pain in the butt to simplify because half of his paint is only visible from the side. I've included the black silhouette anyways.

All that being said, I am happy with how they turned out because obviously the first time you try something new it's not going to be perfect and needs to be practiced.

Hello, popping in because you fully confused me with something you said in your comment on collateral damage "(plus i uploaded this one on mobile so i couldn't ramble/clarify in the tags i could only pick existing ones)" I didn't want to be all Actually on main. But actually :D you totally can ramble, you just gotta press enter on your phone keyboard (unless your phone works differently in which case this message never happend, okaaaiiii, bye)

YOOOOOOOO kisses for your forehead !!!!!

i was trying to cut the tags off with a comma like how it works on desktop 🤦

i'm embarrassingly inept at using ao3, just fully fumbling my way around, so i REALLY appreciate this information 😭 thank you dearest

Hello! 9, 17 and 30?

Hi!

9) What fic made you feel the happiest to work on? I answered to this question in here. :D

17) Share your favorite opening line This one was hard. Because while, yes, I've posted only 17 fics this year, three of them have multiple one shots because they're replies to my askbox writing prompts. Anyway, this particular line turned out to be my favorite one of them all. 😊

In Boil’s defense, he’d been off duty.  (from Captured by Accident)

30) What would you like to write next year? There are several things I'd like to write next year.

I'd like to participate successfully in both @waxerboilmonth and @codex-week

Finish the second of the two fics I managed to scrape together for this year's Kinktober

Write something cute about Echo & Wrecker!

Write a fic with more than 3 chapters that are actually tied together and in a chronologically (most of the time) right order. Askbox writing prompts don't count.

... Try again with the Mermay & Kinktober?

What’s something you’ve learned about while doing research for a fic?

I mean, that is an incredibly broad question...

I live in the nitty-gritty of the worldbuilding so my fics tend to be meticulously researched. I have read an entire book about arranged marriages in medieval europe, translated vows of fealty and learned how spy networks during the middle ages worked, and that's just for OWBABH!

In more recent writing history, for my nano project I've done a deep dive into celtic and germanic fairy tales and the concept of witches and witchcraft during the middle ages. Also as always the intricacies of medieval aristocracy and warfare as well as fashion

Rex kept his eyes fixed on a spot on the wall straight ahead and swallowed down the urge to cross his arms over his naked chest.

This was such a bad idea. It hadn't been bad in the heat of the moment, when their eyes had met through their buckets after yet another near miss.

After a heated battle, the tension between Rex and Cody snaps. Something has to give.

Force sensitive comet for the wip game 👀👀?

this is part 2 of what i've posted of this so far! here are part one and part three for anyone interested (clone trooper death tw)

"Can't breathe," the trooper wheezes, one hand curled around the neck of Comet's cuirass and the other now scrambling for the seal of his own helmet.

Comet lifts his head, eyes darting frantically around the area. Brothers are rushing around them, calling for orders, calling for medics, but the smog around them is thick and heavy. The atmosphere is pulsing with panic and fear, disorienting him further. He can't see if it's safe. He doesn't know.

The flailing hand stops and settles against the side of Comet's bucket now, dragging his attention back down. Even through the pitch black of both of their visors, Comet can see the pleading in his brother's eyes. More than that, he can feel it in the air around them. Pure desperation.

thank you!! <3
