“Rex.” Cody called eventually. He had to put a stop to this. “You’re gonna wear yourself out if you keep pacing a hole in the floor. You’ll be exhausted by the time the storm dies down and we still have to navigate our asses back to camp, you know. We can’t rely on comms being restored and someone coming to extract us before then.”

Rex gave an irritated grunt. He continued pacing. 

“I’ll be fine.”

Cody was reluctant to keep poking when it was clear Rex was already in a foul mood, but he knew he needed to - if only to make sure the other stayed safe. 

“Come here.” He firmed his voice a little and lifted the foil blanket to make his point clear. “Your teeth are chattering.” 

In response, Rex bared those teeth at him. Only, with how much he shook, it lost much of its intended ferocity. The pacing continued, Rex’s boots stomping against the frozen wood with more gusto. He ignored Cody’s command in favour of hissing through his teeth, 

“I can’t believe those fucking ARCs - getting us into this mess! They assured me they’d be on their best fucking behaviour. Who the fuck taught them to have this much fucking audasity?” 

Cody ignored the uncharacteristically colourful language and resisted the urge to say ‘you did.’ 

It had been mostly Five’s and Jesse’s faults, really. But they’d only been trying to help in their own, unhelpful, way. Rex’s anger was perhaps a little harsh, but Cody knew he’d calm down by the time it came to chewing their ears off about it. 

“Rex. Come lay with me.” Cody insisted. “You’re in no position to whip anyone’s ass right now - you can do it when we link up with them in the morning.”

Cody couldn’t help the spike of worry in his chest when he thought about how the rest of the group must have been doing, but he trusted them to take care of themselves in his and Rex’s absence. 

Rex glared at him for a half second before turning his gaze to the wall. It would have been silent if not for the wind howling through the cracks in the shack’s walls. Cody knew the other’s stubbornness was in full force just then and he half-expected Rex to march right out of the shack and forge on through the blizzard out of sheer spite. Getting him to stop and rest in the first place had taken Cody’s full arsenal of negotiation tactics. Thank fuck he’d been paying attention whilst on diplomacy missions with General Kenobi. 

For a moment, Rex looked as if he wanted to bite his head off, but at length only sighed heavily through his nose and stomped over to Cody’s little corner.

Day 6: The Ending

//"No real god need prove himself. Anyone who tries is mad or lying."

@thelighthouse-server

Folded under cushions of the chaise in the Meditation Room in the Lighthouse, is a rather heartfelt page of a journal.

When all is said and done, Rook sympathised with the Dread Wolf and all his mistakes, working damn hard to grant him the opportunity to see the error of his ways, and bids him a safe journey through to his eventual redemption.

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.

Trick Weekes: "My writing report this year is all Veilguard. After almost a decade, it’s finally with players. I worked on some of the main story, along with Solas, Taash, most of Rivain, and a few of the background folks in Treviso, plus some codex stuff. The support from our players has been amazing. After being one of few folks on Dragon Age since Trespasser in 2015 without moving onto other games, I’m going to have fun with whatever I’m on in 2025. Either as a lead or just somebody writing some words and helping bang on narrative beats, it’ll be nice." [source, two]

Codex Week 2025 - Day 1: Tending Wounds

So, I’m not likely to get around to posting the full @codex-week chapter I’ve written up on AO3 today (despite my best efforts). Hoping a ‘preview’ snippet in the meantime will suffice, until I’ve properly edited everything I need to!

Pain -

A strangled cry catches on Rex’s dry throat, and he chokes on air as his body recoils from the burn at his side. Something cold brushes against his skin, and with another yelp Rex manages to scramble away, only for his arms to give out on him a moment later. His already-hazy vision whites out completely as he lands on his wound, a high-pitched whine coming from deep inside him at the contact. Stars, he hasn’t felt pain like this in a long time - not since… Saleucami?

“Stay still,” a voice commands, rough and rasping but one that Rex recognises as a brother. A fellow rebel, perhaps.

Rolling onto his back, he licks his lips and tries to breathe evenly, his ribs flaring with each inhale. “Kix?” he croaks, the last vestiges of hope kindling in his chest. They haven’t heard of any other Clones living on this planet, if there’s a chance it’s his missing medic -

“No,” the brother says, voice a little closer, and the spark gutters. It’s enough to prompt Rex to open his eyes and try and regain a sense of what is going on.

The face peering down at him is a brother’s, alright - one with a long, faded scar running from forehead to temple to the top of his cheekbone, a scar Rex has traced a thousand times with reverent fingertips and could draw with his eyes closed.

His breath deserts him, leaving barely enough in his chest for him to whisper, “Cody?”

Cody (for it has to be, there can be no other Clone with a scar like that) averts his eyes, lips pulled taught. “I need to change your covering,” he says, vaguely waving a bacta patch in Rex’s line of sight. There’s no ‘hello’, no ‘good to see you’, no ‘I’ve missed you’, and Rex just gapes up at him, confusion tainting the joy that had welled up within him.

Bacta. His wound. Right.

Rex nods his permission, and Cody focuses on the task. The old bacta patch peels off messily, tugging at Rex’s skin and the vibroknife wound in a way that makes him hiss sharply, looking down at the site in morbid curiosity.

It’s not the wound that catches his eye, though - it’s Cody’s black gloves, and the black vambraces, reminiscent of Purge Trooper armour.

Fourth Strike Nov-Dec Roundup

Featuring Bandcamp Friday, a new garages goodbye album, and more!

Today is Bandcamp Friday, and we've got loads of goodies in store for you. Before we jump into it, just a reminder that today is Bandcamp Friday. All album sales today have 100% of their profits go directly to the artist (as opposed to the usual 85%). If you've got the funds and are looking to spend on some absolutely SICK tunes, consider giving some love to this month's roundup <3

And with that, let's get started:

--

The Garages announced the final installment of their We Are The Garages series, appropriately titled "we've been the garages." It's up for pre-order on Bandcamp right now, along with the first single "we stood at the precipice of total collapse, fingers intertwined, our truths settled with words we'd never speak" by Woosh, Amadis, and Bertie.

The album releases on Jan 5th, 2025, and there'll be a listen party the same day to celebrate the album.

--

2. @bardapologist's the sound engineer and editor for the new Dragon Age 2 playthrough podcast Codex Entries! We're linking Spotify and Apple Podcasts below, but you can find Codex Entries wherever you listen to podcasts. For a little extra incentive: Carly's also done the theme song!

--

3. Yuppie Supper ( @thwackamabob )'s debut album Dracunculiasis came out at the end of last month, and it's certified sick! Grab it on Bandcamp or stream wherever you stream. They've got some really cool t-shirts out too (though the shirts might be sold out by the time this post goes out.)

And if you missed the release show over in Leeds, catch a recording over on YouTube (from a weird angle):

--

4. @dynamicentropy has art commissions open right now and is looking to raise some funds! You can find xer commissions sheet below, along with examples of some of xer art.

--

5. Aren't you tired of being human? Why not be tired of being human with lAra-a ( @girltentacles )'s new track, out now on Bandcamp and streaming.

--

6. Sparkle on, it's Friday; be yourself: Julien, who you might've seen taking an electric screwdriver to a bass during THE GARAGES SIGN OFF, has some new ✨songs✨ out on Bandcamp!

--

7. Keeping up the sparkly, space-y theme here, Gabi ( @girlballz ) has pre-orders up now for faer re-release of infinite spacetime:

--

8. Last, but certainly not least, Bertie's got a new Magic: The Gathering inspired track up for pre-order over on Bandcamp. The song releases January 3rd, 2025; sign up for emails to make sure you don't miss it!

--

9. This isn't really promoting something I've made, but it was my (roundup writer)'s birthday this week, and I've been thinking some about the privilege of growing up. I've also been, and continue to be, very proud of Fourth Strike's song jam fundraiser from last year, where we raised over $1000 for the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund. Speaking as myself and not as Fourth Strike for a moment, if anyone is looking for places to donate this holiday season, I'd be moved if you chose to donate to some of the many Palestinian relief funds still looking to meet their goal.

--

This was a long one, but hey, we've been busy! Thanks for sticking around, and we hope you'll try out all our new directions. Every stream, every comment, every share means so much to us, and the enthusiasm so far has been really cool to see. We'll plug another reminder here to follow the #beyond strike four tag if you want to keep checking in!

We'll see you next month, but until then: Happy Bandcamp Friday. Consider us rounded up.

Rex still hoped that this not how he's not going to die. That Cody would snap out of it and turn around to face their enemy by his side. With every strike, every new wound and more blood staining the sand, it seemed less likely.

Rex stood with his back to the door at his desk, fiddling with some gauze. It meant that Cody had an unobstructed view of the other’s back and the damage that had been inflicted upon him. Rex’s back was shredded with whip marks - long gashes that started by his shoulders and ended at his lower back. They criss-crossed over each other and what little skin remained was painful, raw and swollen. 

Cody’s mouth went dry and there was a sharp ache in his chest. An unexpected surge of anger welled up inside him, too, because he hadn’t been there. If he had. Cody would have been able to protect him or, at the very least, deal out some retribution. 

He swallowed and tried to push it away. Anger, no matter how well-intended, wasn’t what Rex needed. 

Still, Cody found himself stuck lingering in the doorway simply staring, anyone walking past able to glance in and catch sight of Rex’s injuries. He was unable to move forwards until Rex broke the spell he was under. “Close the door.” The Captain muttered without glancing behind him. He sounded tired, exhausted.

A medieval manuscript, believed to be the oldest Jewish book in the world, is now on view in New York City.

The Afghan Liturgical Quire, which dates to approximately the year 700 CE, is on display at the Jewish Theological Seminary Library in Morningside Heights as part of an exhibit, “Sacred Words: Revealing the Earliest Hebrew Book” that opens Wednesday and runs until July 17.

Also known as the Afghan Siddur, the diminutive prayer book measures five inches by five inches and “is comprised of prayers, poems, and pages of the oldest discovered Passover Haggadah, which was mysteriously written upside down,” according to a JTS press release.

“Far more ancient written Hebrew texts had been discovered, but only on scrolls, most famously the roughly 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls that are displayed prominently in Israel,” according to JTA. “The carbon dating indicated that this was the earliest intact Hebrew codex by more than a century.”

Youson week 2025: Day 4 Triumphant

(Challenge by @mxboxlocks)

No fan fic for today, but what you do get is my take on Tri!Wilson as well as Tri!Wixen. Also, just colored sketches instead of clean lineart. Heres also info about them!

(This is sorta based on two roleswap AUs, tri!Wilson takes Maxwell's spot while Wixen takes Charlie's, and tri!Wixen taking Maxwell's spot while Wilson takes Charlie's)

Info about my headcannons and concepts bellow the cut! (Since they are REALLY long)

Triumphant!Wilson

-Generally more of a goofy villian, but when he decides to actually try, he gets VERY intimidating

-Wixen is the jester/assistant to his king/mad scientist

-In adventure mode, Wixen goes behind Wilson's back to basically make up a story of how the Constant could be good if it wasn't ran by a madman, ans how they only joined up with him to save their soul. They support the player throughout so they could get to the throne

-Once they do, they see a similar scene as woth Maxwell, though instead Wilson and Wixen both explain themself, Wixen knowing Wilson would never allow them to take the throne, so they helped the player through the adventure mode

-very quickly after the player gets trapped on the throne, Wixen takes their place, content knowing that no one else will be hurt by them

'Triumphant'!Wixen

-In a LOT more rough state than other triumphan tcharacters, as Maxwell said:"They will show you terrible, beautiful things, it's best not to fight it" but what if fighting back is in your very nature?

-Entire body (except face) has been turned into a black goo, capable of shap, shifting but is rarely consistant

-Laughs instead of crying, They wouldn't allow her to cry

-Can't remove the mask! Masks are actually usually a form of self-expression for Wixen, allowin ghim to show off different parts of himself, but with this They force a more traditional meaning on them

-Wixen carved the body themself from living logs so he could have a more consistant form, moves very creepily like a puppet

-Destroyed her version of the codex umbra (the umbratic manuscripts) when getting into the constant from hurt and rage

-To punish them for this, They pulled a Wickerbottom and forced a memory of every single page and word into her mind

-Can craft pieces of the umbratic manuscripts because of that (this is also how you refuel their masks)

-Unique healing animation akin to Fuelweaver

-Uses both lunar and shadow magic, both parts of Them hate him

-instead of summoning things with her sanity like Maxwell, he summons them with his blood

-Different mask=different summon

-Through the years of torture, has been stripped down to his most basic element (chaos)

-They refuse to let Wixen and Wilson reunite

-While the constant itself is less harsh under Wixen's reign, their challenges are much harder tha Maxwell's

-Final chapter of their adventure mode is called 'fools gambit'

-Regains sanity and original personality when interacting with things reminiscent of their old life

-When confronted on the throne, begs the player not to free them, so they too wouldn't have their freedom stripped away too

Codex Week 2025 - Day 3: Clone Rebellion

@codex-week day 3 snippet! This chapter could end up with some serious reworking, as while I really wanted to properly introduce the Clone Underground from The Bad Batch, there was a bit too much to cover without making it an exposition dump (and leaving behind Cody/Rex in the process. Still, got a little bit in!

Wherever Cody had expected Rex to take him, whoever he thought he would be introduced to, it was not… this.

Clones. A decent number of them, and in their old gear, paint, scuffs, scratches and all. They’re maybe a few heads shy of a platoon, but it’s still the greatest number of his brothers he’s been around in… Kriff. He doesn’t know.

… Are they going to accept him, as he is now?

As Rex leads him into the shell of a monastery they call their base, one of a pair of clones talking nearby raises his arm in greeting, causing the second clone to turn around - and Cody grinds to a halt.

“Gregor?”

The clone’s face lights up, and stars, it is Gregor. “Commander Cody!” he chirps, trotting over with a grin as wide as an asteroid belt. “When Howzer said Rex was bringing a friend home,” he says, full of energy, “he didn’t say it’d be you, of all clones.”

Half-shrugging, Rex gives a cryptic smile, saying, “I may not have mentioned that part. Secure line, and all.”

“Ah. Spy stuff,” Gregor says knowingly, then chuckles.

“Speaking of,” Rex says, “where is Howzer?”

He jerks his head back over his shoulder. “Checking the stores with Samson. He’s worried we’ll need to ask for more of a share now that we’ll have an extra mouth to feed,” he says, indicating Cody at the end.

Cody and Rex share a look; a ‘that won’t be necessary’ is on the tip of Cody’s tongue before Rex beats him to it, saying, “I’ll have a word with him. Why don’t you two get reacquainted in the meantime?” And with a final tight smile Cody’s way, tinged with faint trepidation through the bond (because how is he going to explain to this Howzer that the new body joining them doesn’t need food or water without making it apparent what Cody is?), he leaves them to it, joined by the other trooper with a datapad in hand.

“So,” Gregor crows, and Cody tears his gaze away from Rex’s retreating form. He spreads his arms. “How about a tour of our humble abode, hm?”
