Okay, okay, maybe The Queen's Thief crew in a SW au? Your choice on who!

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE this was my sister's idea (ALSO I ALMOST FORGOT @aslansjedi has also written a super fun TQT in Star Wars au! Check it out here):

The Senate building was in an uproar. In times such as these, that wasn’t totally unprecedented. Usually it meant that Senator Organa or Senator Mothma had just delivered a speech that the more Empire loving representatives were losing their minds about.

This time, however, people were rioting over the results of the first vote on Sounis’s sovereignty. And also the second, which had occurred after the king, here to attend the vote, had had the doors barricaded. The second vote had gone in his favor—but the audacity of him commanding the Senate into voting his way wasn’t what was causing the chaos.

In the middle of all of this, Attolis Eugenides—husband of the queen of the planet Attolia, Queen’s Thief of Eddis (some said former. Others were far wiser), strolled through the halls of the Senate building. He was followed by a posse of flustered attendants, all of whom were trying to talk to him at once.

“Your Majesty—”

“I don’t think it’s wise—”

“Please, Your Majesty—”

The king ignored them all, as he often did. Looking decidedly regal in his embroidered and elegant garments, he stalked up to a door guarded by two stormtroopers. One of them stepped forward as if to stop him, but was skewered by a look that made him back down hastily.

The door hissed open, revealing a small sitting room. Far from the nicest in the Senate building, it was out of the way and held a tall man, sitting in a chair, having coffee. He looked up, and the look on his scarred face was startled, but pleased. Sitting at the same table was a woman with short hair and a smile a man would die to earn, but she was not the object of the king’s attention. The king of Sounis was.

Gen cocked an eyebrow at him as the door hissed shut behind him. “You shot the Emperor?”

“You gave me the gun,” Sophos protested.

Me irl: fuck the military, its imperialism, its sadomasochistic culture, its misogyny and homophobia and racism, and I know their recruiters often target low income folks with their propaganda and promises of education and travel, but fuck the bros who make their job their identity and use it as an excuse for their bad behavior in civilian life FUCK THOSE CAMO CLAD FUCKERS IN WALMART 😤

I know that you've mentioned for the Pirate AU that Roxana would remain a human (which makes sense, considering she's not really a Zoraxis asset), but are Fabby and Solaris humans, too? Or is Zor sailing around the seven seas with a whole crew of freaks piled onto their boat

i didn’t realize i’ve never talked about these two! in the pirate au, Commander Solaris was once a member of the Queen’s Navy (same as Reginald) but quit when she realized Zor was much more supportive of her rather explosive ambitions. the Fabricator is Captain Zor’s Quartermaster: their second-in-command, their most trusted ally. there’s not a man nor beast alive that doesn’t fear the Fabricator, and she helps Zor keep their crew in line.

in my original vision for the pirate au, the only characters who aren’t human are Phoenix and Juniper (and possibly Zor and Vitti but shh) so yes, they’re both human!

however, that is not to say that Zor isn’t running a crew full of freaks; with their help, Solaris cut a deal with some Beast Of Power that gave her some unusual abilities involving her missing eye. the exact limits of her power aren’t clear, but when she faced off against the Agency, she set all their sails on fire and was able to very precisely snap the rope that Phoenix was holding onto, dropping them into the water and nearly plowing them over with the Axis.

and the Fabricator is french

Your Ahsoka & Mandos AU just made me tear up pls ARE YOU PLANNING TO WRITE THAT ???????

That plus clones being jealous and not even bothering to hide that because Ahsoka was THEIRS first would be absolute peak

Umm, I could write some if you guys are interested. It would be more like a series of isolated one shots than a real series though. Since it kinda contradicts ASOI and it isn't cannon to SH.

But first some context would probably be good i think.

This "AU" takes place after Ahsoka leaves the Jedi. As we know canonically that she stays with Bo and her Mandalorian faction for an indeterminate amount of time after the disaster on Oba Diah. At the time of spilling those thoughts onto a text post I was just wrapped up in question marks about exactly what that environment would have been like for Ahsoka.

Ahsoka who just left the GAR and is feeling all kinds of guilt for not being there with her men, watching their backs like she's "supposed to". (it is my personal extrapolation that Ahsoka would have been moved from the 501st if she had returned to the jedi anyways. Bc knights and masters have never lead the same faction. The graduated knight has always been moved to their own faction to lead. And I think part of the reason Ahsoka left the jedi was bc she didn't want to return to the war without Anakin and Rex.)

But it took her like maybe a handful of weeks to end up on another war front with another set of soldiers. And yeah they aren't hers and she's not leading them but it feels like a betrayal anyways. If she's still gonna be fighting a war, it should be with her brothers. So Ahsoka does what she always does, tries to make herself useful and block out the guilt with work.

She's in a mandalorian camp now. One with a wide range of smaller clans in it as they are preparing to take back the planet of Mandalore. She's interacting with Mandalorian elders (And Ahsoka has always been good with elders. From the jedi council to the elders on her home planet to members of the senate, elders love Ahsoka). They Enjoy her Youthful energy and her manners. The fact that she brews excellent tea and is hard working and smart. She's interacting with younglings as well. Something else she's experienced with as a former leader of her own creche clan. She isn't afraid to pick up a crying kid, dust them off and tell them to walk it off. But she's also gentle and really good at deciphering baby talk. She tells fun stories for them around the camp fire and makes their toys float to entertain them.

And when actual combat happens, she's great in a fight. She can understand hand signals and follow orders, but she can also take on a battalion of droid alone without breaking a sweat. She has never been bested in a spar. And though her blaster skills leave much to be desired she can wield most bladed weapons like an assassin.

It's not all sunshine and rainbows. A lot of Mandos just aren't going to be happy about having an ex jedi in their camp. BUT it has been a long time since the jedi and mando were actively in conflict. And Ahsoka willingly leaving the jedi actually gives her a lot of credit in their eyes. That and the fact that she has obviously began mandalorian training (of some sort). She is totally eligible to be taken into a clan. Now in what way is the real debate.

Because Ahsoka is in that awkward young adult stage where she's mostly too old to be taken on as a foundling and she mostly too young to get married.

She shows every single Mandalorian virtue. Respect for the religion, Good child rearing skills, Good combat skills, The ability and willingness to hunt large game, An anti-individualistic community focused mindset, A lust for life and freedom, heart bleeding loyalty, weapons proficiency, and most importantly, honor. And there's the little detail that she's working with the top ranking clans as an advisor and hand for hire. A weird not rank that is none the less very admirable.

When I say every mando expects Ahsoka to join a clan. I mean every one of them. The elders are asking to train her and finding it hard to find some area of training that she isn't proficient in (not everyone can teach her to shoot). Meanwhile she is blissfully unaware that this is the first step to being adopted.

The youngest adults, the ones in her age group, are either trying to finish their training and graduate so that they may be free to start courting, or they're saying fuck it, ima court the highly powerful ex-jedi anyways. Bc can you even imagine what an asset she'd be to any clan? The Mandos have a weird relationship with force sensitivity since they're never trained to use it, but damn can it be an asset in battle. Can you imagine how strong her children would be? it's like a mandos wet dream.

Huge super powerful riduur move things with mind, fight with cool weapons, make clan strong.

Ahsoka is only minimally knowledgeable on Mando culture and the courting goes right over her head. They want to spar with her *shrug* ok. They want to share her meals? cool she'll hunt fresh meat for diner. They want to gift her weaponry? She's kinda picky actually she's on the look out for some specific pieces, but if you hear anything about weapons traders, let her know. They want to teach her Mando'a? okay she's just been using flashcards for a while, don't make fun of her pronunciation though.

And that's when they're just chilling in camp and not when active combat is happening.

Ahsoka who can disarm an enemy without touching them

Ahsoka who can snatch you out of the line of fire

Ahsoka who can take a stun bolt to the chest and keep walking

With teeth like knives and claws like daggers

and gentle hands and a soft voice

Now, the context that you really wanted. Which is bringing the clones into this.

That would require stretching out the siege on Mandalore which I am totally game to do. Lets wedge this into a O66 didn't happen Au. Lets put the 332nd in a camp of Mandos for weeks (not unlike on Onderon when they were training the rebels).

Rex and Jesse and Kix reunited with their Commander. Ahsoka blooming under the company of her brothers. Ahsoka running to greet them and getting pulled into a keldabe immediately. Ahsoka responding to her rank and leading men like it's as easy as breathing. Ahsoka who apparently already has a clan and wears their colors with pride. Ahsoka who is given back her lightsabers and becomes an absolute beast in the battlefield like nothing they've ever seen.

The clones who know just enough about mando culture to see the flock of gangly late teens that follow Ahsoka around and bring her food and beg her to spar and go all stiff whenever she touched them. Clones that go "excuse me, that is my vod'ika. Back off"

Rex who wears a permanent scowl. Kix who feels sorry for the poor kids throwing themselves at Ahsoka just to get brushed off absentmindedly. Jesse who is laughing his ass off at the jealousy radiating out of them.

Ahsoka who is even more mando like than they thought as soon as her brothers are around. Who breaths loyalty like its air, who speaks broken bastard mando'a like its a real language. Who spars with no less than 15 clones and usually comes out on top. Who hunts with her favorite brothers with nothing but her bare hands and comes back triumphant. Who gives orders like a clan leader and takes them like a soldier. Who Is referred to by rank with so much affection that you can taste it.

Ahsoka curling up in a pile of men in armor and sleeping around a fire, more at peace then anyone in this camp has seen her before.

And brothers who are so fond of her that they'd cut their own hearts out if she asked. But are more than willing to deliver yours to her instead if you don't back the fuck off. She belongs to our clan. I will best you in ritual combat about it.

Seething side eyes. Arms always around her shoulders. Plastoid flanking her at all times. The days of Ahsoka being alone are over. You'll never pry her out of their hands again.

Today, during a work meeting, I shared my screen. One coworker wasn't familiar with how to transfer a file from the mainframe computer to a personal computer or virtual desktop. We have a file transfer program for that, but she had never used it. During a project call (with only five people), she asked me to show her.

My first step was copying the file from one dataset to another, which had a different name. My FTP will not recognize the format of the original file name, so I create one that includes my user ID in the name.

Someone else on the call watched me do this and told me if I was copying every line I could skip two tiny steps. Then he went a step further, explaining a command I'd never heard of. It allocates a new file and copies everything simultaneously.

Mind blown.

I was going from point A to point B, via points Y and Z. My extra steps only added a few moments to the process, but now, after learning this command, I feel like I'd been wasting much time over the past 20 years.
