Chapter Summary: Maia and Obi-Wan are sent on their first peace mission.

Chapter Warnings: None

Word Count: 1.2k

Masterlist

Time seemed to pass differently now that Maia had joined the Jedi. It moved faster than before, days suddenly becoming weeks, becoming months, becoming years. The Temple had become her home and the Jedi had become her family. Of course, she still loved her parents and her home on Alura but it was different with the Jedi. They had a shared experience, a shared connection. She had grown up with her parents but she had found her purpose with the Jedi. 

And she thanked the stars that she was lucky enough to have both families in her life.

A Sky Full of Stars ~ Chapter Seven

Chapter Summary: Maia and Obi-Wan discuss duelling forms and training methods.

Chapter Warnings: None

Word Count: 1.3k

Masterlist

A few months had gone by and Maia was starting to adjust to life as a Jedi. The training was becoming harder but more interesting, and navigating the Temple was much simpler. Even the early mornings were getting easier. She was also getting to know other Jedi of all different ranks and, as a result, she didn't feel as much of an outsider anymore. 

The seasons were changing and the Coruscant weather was gradually getting warmer. So it wasn’t a surprise when Obi-Wan suggested that they take their training outside.

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but more people should read incomplete/unfinished/in-progress fanfics.

I've noticed this huge trend where creators on tiktok and tumblr who will be explaining how to use Archive Of Our Own to new users and they always say "and make sure to scroll down and click completed only" or how people will go out of their way to mention they only read completed fics 'because they were traumatized when they forgot to check the dates and didn't realize this fic hadn't been updated since 2012'.

The thing is - I think by not engaging with and/or actively avoiding writer's WIPs readers are potentially adding to the aggregate of abandoned works. Now this obviously isn't the case for all abandoned fics, anything from major life events, to loss of interest, to getting busy can be a reason for a fic getting abandoned - but at least on some level I just know that writers are quitting while they're ahead when they aren't garnering any response or feedback because reading WIPs has become unpopular. If you're worried about reading something that hasn't been updated since 2012 then you can use the date updated function to sort out old fics.

Anyways, support your favorite fanfic writers by engaging with their WIPs.

Aliens, Avengers, and Coffee

Event: @marvel-oc-hub's Pride Month Prompts

Prompt: An Avenger rescues a civilian trope but make it LGBTQ+

Pairing: Natasha Romanoff x Fem!Reader

Word Count: 1.2k

Warnings: descriptions of battle, descriptions of injury

You ran through the destroyed streets of New York, explosions and gunfire echoing all around. Debris fell from the damaged buildings, glass shattered, and people were screaming. It was pure chaos as aliens descended from the hole in the sky above Stark Tower and wrecked havoc.

Eventually, you made it away from the crowd of people trying to escape. Everyone had been pushing and shoving, even trampling over fallen people in their desperation. It was too much and so you tried to find another way to get away from the battle.

Now, you weaved your way between abandoned cars, avoiding massive holes in the road where alien weapons had been fired. No one was out on the street, but you could see a couple running into a cafe up ahead, carrying their small, crying child. The people inside beckoned them in, shutting the door quickly behind them then moving away from the windows. You started to make your way over, but you were stopped in your tracks.

Your heel caught in some rubble and you fell, twisting your ankle and scraping your leg badly. Blood gushed from the wound, dripping down your leg and staining your skirt.

That damn skirt. And those damn heels. You cursed silently. You already hated your stupid, underpaid office job but now you hated it even more. Office attire, such as pencil skirts and stilettos, was not very practical for escaping an alien invasion. Although, you had to admit, that was a pretty crazy sentence to even think, let alone live through. The world had definitely got a hell of a lot weirder in the last few hours.

As you tried to dislodge your foot from the rubble (you were most certainly not leaving your shoe behind – walking barefoot in New York City was a bad idea at the best of times), an alien carrying a very large space gun rounded the corner of the building next to you.

You froze. An alien invasion was definitely not on your schedule for today, but coming face to face with said invading aliens was a whole other level of terrifying. The alien caught sight of you immediately and snarled as it aimed its weapon at you.

Adrenaline surged through your veins, and you tugged at your ankle harder. Dying was also one hundred percent not on the schedule. You could hear the weapon charging up, feel your heart beating faster. Your hands shook and your ankle screamed in pain, but still didn't budge. You looked up, the blue light of the weapon blinding you.

A flash of red and the shot hit the wall behind you, debris scattering across the street. It took your panicked brain a moment to catch up but when it did, you blinked in surprise.

Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow, had swooped in and kicked the weapon out of the alien’s hands. It clattered to the ground as she kept it occupied, punching and kicking and dodging effortlessly. The way she moved was so graceful and almost hypnotising, like it was a dance instead of a fight.

Natasha rolled across the road, grabbed the discarded weapon and shot the alien in one swift movement. The noise of the weapon firing shocked you back to your senses. Your foot was starting to get numb as the rubble pressed down on your ankle. You grunted with the effort of trying to move it, but you weren't strong enough.

Natasha dropped the weapon and hurried over. As she got closer, you could see a cut on her forehead. She knelt down and lifted the heavy slab of asphalt just enough for you to wiggle free.

You smiled at her. “Thank you.”

“No problem. Can you walk?”

“I think so.” You stood up and gingerly put weight on your injured leg. Immediately, you winced. Your face grew hot, embarrassed to look weak in front of this badass – and very beautiful – woman. “I'm sure I'll be fine,” you said through gritted teeth.

But Natasha wasn't buying it. She stepped towards you and put her arm around your waist. “Let's get you somewhere safe.” She scanned the street.

“I think that cafe there is letting people in.” You pointed at it, leaning on her for support.

Together, you made your way over. The movement caused more blood to trickle down your leg, and you tried your best to hide how badly you were limping. As the doors of the cafe got closer, you turned to Natasha, the weight of what just happened suddenly hitting you.

“Is there any way I can thank you? Properly thank you?” When she just smiled and shook her head, you insisted. “No, seriously, I mean it. You just saved my life. That's not nothing. I can't just … not show you how grateful I am.”

“I'm with S.H.I.E.L.D., it's kinda what we do.” Natasha just shrugged.

“Yeah, but it's still a big deal. Can I … I dunno, at least buy you a coffee or something?” You nodded at the large coffee cup decoration in the window.

Natasha smiled. “That sounds nice. Really. But I still have a job to do.” She gestured at the chaos around you.

“Maybe once this is over, then?” You grinned playfully, feeling a bit more confident.

Natasha laughed. “Yeah, sure. I'll come find you.”

“How? You don't even know my name.”

“Like I said, I'm with S.H.I.E.L.D. – we can find anyone.” She grinned flirtatiously.

“Well, it's Y/N L/N. If that makes it any easier.”

“Natasha Romanoff.”

You both looked up as a giant worm-like alien soared above, plowing through the top floors of a skyscraper.

“I'm afraid that's my cue,” Natasha said, ushering you inside the cafe. “I'll see you later, Y/N.”

You nodded. “Yeah. And hey, be careful out there.”

Natasha flashed you one last smile before running off towards Stark Tower. You stared after her until her bright red hair disappeared into the grey of New York City. The barista closed the cafe doors, locking them tight and a young woman helped you into the back room, where the cafe manager was patching people up with the first aid kit. You collapsed onto a wooden chair, the adrenaline rush wearing off, hoping this would all be over soon.

~~~

A few days later, you were sitting on a park bench eating your lunch. The clean up in the aftermath of the battle had gone quicker than expected; not only had S.H.I.E.L.D. been very efficient, but other cities – even other countries – had sent volunteer emergency services to aid them. Everyone had come together after this tragedy and it was really heartwarming.

And, of course, the whole world had joined together to thank the Avengers for their bravery. What they had done – just the six of them holding back an entire army – was more than heroic. They were superheroes, in every sense of the word.

Your mind wandered back to Natasha and how she had saved your life. She had probably saved so many people that day, you wondered if she even remembered saving you.

As you binned your garbage, a flash of red caught your eye. Natasha Romanoff approached you with a small smile. You blinked, surprised to see her.

“So, about that coffee …?” She tilted her head, looking amused at your stunned expression. “Know any good places around here?”

A wide smile broke out on your face. “Yeah, I think I do.”

“Concentrate, Maia. I can feel your mind wandering.”

“Sorry, Master. I am trying, I swear.”

It had been a few weeks since she had started training with Obi-Wan. For the most part, it was wonderful. She had started wearing her Padawan braid and had already earned a band for her healing skills, which had been taught to her by her parents. She was very proud of it, smiling every time she saw it in a mirror, the white band contrasting against her black hair. She knew that Obi-Wan had earned a red band for his piloting skills and a yellow one for his lightsaber technique. She wanted to make him proud by also earning a yellow band so she had started working hard in training.

Trying Something New

Event: @marvel-oc-hub's Pride Month Prompts

Prompt: Reader is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns

Pairing: Kurt Wagner x Non-binary!Reader

Word Count: 644

The distant sound of the party reached you through the quiet woods. The X-Men had returned from a mission earlier this afternoon and the whole school was celebrating another success (well, technically the teenagers were celebrating – the younger kids had gone to bed hours ago). You were happy that the mission had gone well and no one was hurt – your X-Ray vision had come in handy in that regard. You had spotted a weapon in the target’s bag and warned Scott just as he approached, and that split second was all it took to avoid him getting hurt.

Still, something was on your mind, something you had been thinking about for a while now.

“Oh, there you are!” Kurt’s cheery voice made you turn around and he smiled widely. “I couldn't find you.”

He sat down with you, your backs against the tree. He reached for your hand and you immediately felt better. You and Kurt hadn't been dating long, just a few months, but things were going well.

You had met when Raven brought him to the school. You, being a long-time student at Xavier’s, had offered to show him around. Then, you started training on the X-Men team together and your feelings had blossomed from there. It took him a while, but he eventually asked you out. He had been very nervous and awkward, but you thought it was adorable.

And now you worried that you might mess it up.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to disappear. I just needed a break.”

Kurt nodded. “It is very noisy. I prefer the quiet, too.”

“I know,” you mumbled, shifting to sit closer to him. You hadn't noticed how cool the night air was until he sat down with you, his body warmth drawing you in.

You took another sip of your drink, staring off into space, your mind wandering again. You looked up when Kurt nudged your shoulder gently.

“Is there something on your mind?” he asked, worry clouding his yellow eyes.

“Um …” You weren't sure if this was something you wanted to tell anyone just yet. But at the same time, you wanted someone to talk to about it. And who better than Kurt? He was so kind and caring, surely he would be supportive? Surely you could trust him? “I’ve just been thinking about some things recently. And I … I just want to try something new. I don't know if I'll like it, it might not stick but … I can't know for sure unless I try, right?”

Kurt nodded along. “Of course. What is it? Can I help?”

Your heart filled with love. Of course he would offer to help. That was just Kurt.

“Um, yeah. You can actually.” You looked away, suddenly a bit shy. Your voice went quiet. “I want to try going by they/them pronouns. Just for a little bit. Just to see …” You trailed off.

Kurt gave your hand a squeeze, making you look up at him again. He smiled. “Of course. I can do that. Would you like the rest of the team to know or is it just between us for now?”

You smiled back, relieved. “Maybe just us for now. We'll see how it goes. I'm just a bit nervous about telling the others.”

“I understand. I think our friends will adapt to the change easily. But the other students … I do not know. However, if anyone refuses or does not accept this, I will talk to them,” he said firmly.

You smiled. Kurt was very sweet, but he also had a bit of a protective streak. “Thank you.” You snuggled closer and he wrapped his arm around your shoulders. “That means a lot.”

“I would do anything for you. As long as you are happy, I am happy.”

So, you had nothing to be worried about after all.
