On behalf of all of the Commander Fox fans out there, CG? Explain yourself.

May the 4th Fic Recs

Did I finish my next chapter of Eidola or Caveat Emptor in time to celebrate? Of course not, I'm a trashfire. That doesn't mean I can't share other people's fics to help celebrate, so here's a selection of old standbys and new discoveries I've enjoyed over the past year:

Senatorial Missteps and Mandalorian Mishaps by S_C_G (series) - The Senate thinks sending a Jedi child (see: youngling Obi-Wan Kenobi) to the Mand'alor as a hostage and peace offering would be a good idea. It wasn't.

Dominoes by @meridiansdominoes (WIP) - Domino squad wakes up in Kamino with memories of their previous lives.

No Vacant Dream by anonymous (WIP) - A Sith ritual drops Fox in the past, where he gets tangled up with Jaster Mereel's faction before figuring out where, much less when, he is.

The King in Red by @wreathedinscales (series) - The Coruscant Guard become something decidedly other.

Shameless self-promotion of my excuse for not making more progress on my other WIPs:

Full Circle by me (complete) - CC-1010 dies, and Fox wakes up in the World Between Worlds. Call this one the Clone Wars meets horror-remix of Groundhog Day no one asked for.

May the 4th be with you!

I guess I'm cynical enough to assume that all my work (not because it's special, just because it's freely available online) has already been scraped.

This is the worst timeline. (x)

Strange request, but could we see those commander fox's on their own?

Not a strange request, here you go !

[weyrwolfen]

the fandom making fox an overworked and unpaid government worker has given more empathy to the character than anyone could imagine

No Man Left Behind / Something Worth Dying For

REQUESTS / BLOG EVENT

Request from @razzbberry - Palette #1 - Alpha-17, Cody - Death of the Cynic in Me

Notes and close-ups beneath the cut!

Notes: I think Seventeen would, both subconsciously and consciously, keep his cynicism as long as possible. It’s how he thinks the world works, but it’s also a survival tool. It’d be a very, very slow death.

It’s put to the test with Cody — not because Cody is special among his fellow clones, but because he’s one of the first that bothers to fight Seventeen on his own terms. The argument is always the same. Cody wants to talk about what he hopes to be, someday, after he is a soldier. Seventeen thinks he’s stupid to think that’s possible, or that he’d be capable. Cody knows it, and he, might not be. Seventeen thinks it’s even more stupid, in that case; what a waste of energy.

It develops. When they’re older, and in the thick of war, one day Cody risks his life for the chance to save a brother that was going to die anyway. Seventeen yells at him for fifteen minutes once he’s conscious about luck and stupidity and the trouble it’s causing Seventeen and the false hope it’s engendering in others. Cody says he can disagree all he likes, but he doesn’t give a fig, respectfully. Seventeen thinks Cody can go try to get blown up again, if he thinks so.

There’s no point fighting for a better tomorrow; they’re bought and paid for to fight for something else, FOR someone else. Seventeen is prepared for being fodder, as a result. He’s prepared for unfairness and the bleak life that they’re living. Instead he watches as Cody defeats odds time and time again, somehow managing to balance being an exceptional military leader with a secondary war to live for something more, running himself ragged and — inexplicably — gaining ground. Each of those little victories are a little death for Seventeen’s cynicism; a chipping away. A little seed of Cody’s brand of hope takes root, awkward and begrudging, fond and tentative.

Then Order 66 happens. Cody’s efforts for a better life are in vain, and Cody himself-

Cody may never know that Seventeen was right abut just how helpless they were. Now he only knows that Seventeen is a traitor, apparently, because Seventeen — for once in his life — was the lucky one and his chip malfunctioned.

And Seventeen could say ‘I told you so’. He could rest, vindicated and resigned, in the fact that every dream Cody built up and everything he thought was worth dying for is pointless, now — as he always suspected it would be.

But it isn’t fair, even by Seventeen’s standards.

“What are you doing,” Rex will rasp, caught in a strange role reversal as Seventeen paints an armor set with Cody’s golden colors. “He’s not coming back, Seventeen. He can’t. It’s pointless to keep going after him, you need to stop.”

“No,” Seventeen will answer, unbothered, “I don’t think I will.”

“We can’t — we can’t keep hoping,” Rex says, because he means he will probably have a breakdown if he imagines there is even a pitiful possibility he could save his brothers and then have to turn away from that scrappy chance for the greater good and Rebellion, and all that. “We’ve got to move on.”

“Go on.” Seventeen will invite sincerely, one brow raised because he knows Rex better than that.

“Do you want him to shoot you?” Rex will finally yell, all knotted up at the thought of losing Seventeen too, even though it’s funny because Seventeen was never kind to Rex.

“He can try,” Seventeen will say, touching up the last of the paint. He will stand, wiping his fingers, and pick up his pack. “See you when we get back, then.”
