A/N: I've been meaning to write for Thorn for, like, weeks now. But I finally had an idea.

Divider by saradika

In an ideal universe, you would never have to work a day in your life. You would be able to stay home, and spend your time writing novels, or painting pictures, or crocheting blankets, and you’d never have to worry about food or power or rent.

However, you don’t live in an ideal universe.

You live here, on Coruscant, which means that five days a week, you have to drag yourself out of bed, shower, brush your teeth, and put on your uniform for another 8 hour day of hell.

Also known as work.

And you, the clever person that you are, decided to major in Forensics. Which meant that not only do you have to drag yourself to work every morning, you also have to see the absolute worst of people every day.

Sometimes when you close your eyes, all you see are blood spatters and burn patterns and bullet trajectories. Those are the good days.

You don’t have many good days.

There is a reason that people in your line of work rarely last more than 10 years. Especially on Coruscant. 

You exhale slowly and press the palms of your hands against your eyes. You’ve been working close to ten hours, less than halfway through a double, that was probably going to turn into a triple, and you’re already so done with the day that you kind of want to cry.

You’re hungry, and tired, and you still have six hours before the next shift is supposed to roll in, and you have to start the DNA analysis from three different cases, and run the fingerprints from last night-

You look up when there’s a knock on the door, “It’s open.”

Your office door slides open, and you tiredly look up at the man who steps into the room, “You look like shit, verd’ika.” Commander Thorn says as he steps into the room, a teasing grin on his lips.

“Please tell me you didn’t just walk your happy ass all the way from the Corrie Bullpen to my office just to insult me?” You ask as you rest your chin on the palm of your hand as you half-heartedly glare at the handsome man who has made it his life's mission to make your life more difficult.

“I would never,” Commander Thorn replies as he presses the button to shut your office door, and lazily drops into a chair across from your desk.

“Oh, please, have a seat.” You say snarkily.

“Thanks, I think I will.” He counters cheerfully, as he slumps even further down the chair with a wide grin.

You close your eyes, and forcefully stamp down on your growing ire, it’s not his fault that you’re exhausted, and it’s not right to take it out on him. Especially since you actually enjoy his company, “Is there something you needed, Commander?”

“How long have we worked together, verd’ika?” He asks, dragging the nickname out obnoxiously. 

“I don’t…2 years, give or take?” You say with a shake of your head.

“Long enough that you should just call me by my name,” He says mildly, and he frowns when you curl in on yourself as though he yelled at you. He sits up and leans forward slightly, his sharp eyes scanning your face for a moment, and his scowl deepens, “How many hours have you been working?”

You glance at your chrono and sigh, “a little more than 10 hours. I’m working a double today…maybe a triple.” You tiredly rub your eyes, “What did you need, Commander Thorn?”

“...we have a case.” He says quietly, a look of guilt crossing his face as you utter an exhausted curse, “No one else is available for field work.”

“It’s fine, this is my job after all. Just let me grab my keys and I’ll meet you there. Send me the location?” You ask, as you get to your feet and grab your jacket off the back of your chair.

Thorn says nothing for a moment, and then he releases a deep sigh, and you hear the sound of some typing, “I’ll see you there. It’s just going to be the two of us, for now.”

“Alright, I’ll see you there.”

30 minutes later, you pull up in front of a run down building. The building itself is taped off, and Thorn is waiting for you with his arms crossed over his chest. You park near his speeder, and slip out of your jeep, having to essentially fall out of your van due to its height.

“Nice of you to join me,” Thorn teases lightly, though there’s tension in his shoulders and his hand rests on his blaster, “So we have a body.”

“It’s almost always a body in this part of Coruscant,” You reply as you pull your kit out of the back of your van, “You suspect foul play?”

“The person who called it in claimed that they witnessed a murder,” Thorn replies as he scans his datapad, “I have some shinies canvassing the area, looking for the witness.”

“Is that why you’re so tense?” You ask.

“What?”

“You’ve had your hand on your blaster like you’re expecting someone to jump out and start shooting at us.” You explain as you press the button that closes the trunk door.

“Just…a bad feeling, verd’ika.” His voice is tight, “I’m going to be staying close for now.”

You eye him for a moment, and then nod slowly, “If that will make you feel more comfortable.” You finally reply, “Is the body inside?”

“Yeah. The shinies cleared the house before you got here.” Thorn says, “At first blush, it looks like an execution.”

You flash him the smallest of smiles, “If you say so, then that’s probably what happened. But I’ll check anyway.”

“Ah, verd’ika, when you say stuff like that it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.” Thorn teases flirtatiously, and you know that if he wasn’t wearing his helmet, he’d be smirking at you, in spite of the tension running through his body.

You pull your gloves on and shoot him a look, “You know that you’re probably right. I just need to verify it for legal reasons.” You shake your head and take half a step towards the house, “I assume I’m free to enter?”

“Yep, the scene is yours.”

You nod at him, and grab your camera, and slowly make your way into the house, taking pictures as you go. You snap a series of photos of the victim, a woman, likely in her 70s. True to what Thorn told you, she had two bullet holes in her head.

“If the execution was what killed her,” You say to Thorn, “She wasn’t killed here. There’s not nearly enough blood.”

Thorn is somehow even more tense than he was outside as he makes a note on his datapad, “Anything else?”

“Give me a minute,” You reply, standing and moving around to the other side. You look over the victim, and then tilt your head when you notice something strange. “Huh. What’s this then?” You murmur, more to yourself then Thorn as you reach out and adjust the thick jacket the victim was wearing. Your hand presses against something hard, and metal, and you hear a click that makes your blood freeze, and you slam your hand down on the victim’s chest. 

“Verd’ika?”

“I think there’s a bomb.” You say, turning panicked eyes up towards Thorn.

Thorn swears and tosses his datapad out the front door, and crosses the room to kneel across from you. He scans the body, and then swears again, “It is.” He confirms, “It looks like a pressure plate.”

“Sorry.” You whisper, “You should probably-”

“If you think I’m leaving you here, alone, with a bomb then you don’t know me well at all,” His voice is sharp, and for a moment you hate that he’s wearing his helmet, because seeing his face would offer you a little comfort. “Okay. Disarming the bomb isn’t possible, not now that it’s been triggered,” Thorn explains as he stands and walks around the body until he’s behind you.

“So what do we do?” You ask, glancing over your shoulder as he turns a thick table onto it’s side and moves it so it’s nearly pressed against your back.

“You are going to sit there,” Thorn replies, moving so he’s behind the table, and then reaching over the table and grabbing you under the arms, “Verd’ika?”

“Yeah?”

“This is going to hurt.” Is the only warning he gives, as he tightens his grip and pulls, jerking you away from the bomb, and over the table, and covering you with his own body in one smooth motion that he’s had to have practiced before.

The bomb detonates at the exact same time, and the last thing you remember, clearly, is the pain the Thorn warned you about.

You wake to the sound of a heart monitor beeping annoyingly in your ear. You slowly blink the sleep out of your eyes, and you can taste bacta on your lips. 

You half expect to be in the hospital, but you’re also not really surprised to see that you’re in the Guard’s Medbay. Slowly you try to sit up, only to stop when gentle hands press against your shoulders, laying you back. “You’re not supposed to move, verd’ika.”

“Thorn?” You quickly look him over, he’s wearing casual clothes, rather than his armor, which means you can see the bruises covering his arms, “Are you okay?” You ask.

“Me? Yeah, a couple of bruises. A minor concussion.” Thorn waves away his injuries as unimportant, “How are you feeling? You’ve been in a bacta tank for two days.”

“Pretty good, all things considered.” You lightly take his hand and squeeze it, “I thought that I would be in the hospital?”

“Yeah, well…” There’s something grim on Thorn’s face, “Someone put a hit on you.”

“On…me?”

“You’re very good at what you do,” Thorn replies, “We moved you from the hospital when one of the nurses tried to kill you.”

“I don’t…why?”

“You’re very good at what you do, cyar’ika.” Thorn says with a sigh, “You’re being moved into protective custody until we can figure out who’s trying to kill you.” He lightly takes your hand and squeezes your fingers, “I’m afraid you’re not going to have much privacy for a bit.”

You lay in the bed, thinking on his words, “Am I being forced to leave Coruscant?” You ask.

“No. You’re being moved into protective custody under the care of the Coruscant Guard. Well, to be more specific, we’re being moved into protective custody.” Thorn explains.

“Ah, you got stuck with babysitting duty.”

“I volunteered, cyar’ika.” Thorn replies, “You almost died because I didn’t do my due diligence.”

“It’s not your-”

“It is my fault. If I had done my damned job, the bomb would have been disarmed before you even arrived on scene.” Thorn interrupts, “So, I’m afraid you’re going to be stuck with me for a while.”

You sigh quietly, “It’s not that much of a hardship,” You murmur, “When I’m not working, I actually like spending time with you.”

He laughs quietly, and slowly releases your fingers to brush his fingers against your cheek, and you turn your head into his touch. “You know I only bother you as much as I do because I want you to look at me, right?” He asks quietly.

You smile gently, “I’m looking now, Thorn.”

His fingers pause, mid stroke, and his gaze locks with yours, “Yeah. I guess you are. And…do you like what you see?” Thorn asks, something hesitant in his voice.

“Always did.”

“You never said anything.”

“You never come to talk to me alone when we’re not working,” You reply, “Or I would have.”

A look of amusement crosses his face, “I didn’t know that you’re shy.”

“I didn’t either,” You admit with a laugh, “Just about this one thing, I guess.”

You fall into a comfortable silence, with his fingers gentle on your cheek. “Cyar’ika,” He says slowly, “Do you know what that means?”

“Something less insulting than verd’ika, I hope.”

“It means sweetheart.”

“Oh, that’s much nicer than being called Little Soldier.” You joke lightly.

He laughs quietly, and his thumb lightly ghosts across your lips, “Can I kiss you, cyar’ika?”

“I’m in a hospital bed and covered in bacta.” You reply.

“That’s not a no,”

You smile at him, “Yes, Thorn. You can kiss me.”

He flashes an almost blinding grin, and then he leans in and gently presses his lips against yours. His kiss is so breathtakingly gentle that you’re helpless to do anything more than let out a quiet whine into the kiss.

He breaks the kiss, and lays his arms on the bed and then he lays his chin on his folded arms, a grin on his lips, as he looks at you with a lovesick look on his face. And all you can do is blush and try to pull the blanket up over your head.

Would it be too much if I crochet a Corrie Guard inspired blanket. Yes? Good. I’m gonna do it anyway.

[one-real-imonkey]

Fox can’t paint to save his life, his armour art is designed and maintained by his vode.

Unbeknown to the Corries, he can crochet, sort of.

He makes gifts for other corries when he’s totally unable to sleep.

[awesomeelizalove]

💜✨bae said I look cute today

[rottenlikebluecheese-blog]

every 5th question like 5, 10, 15 etc.

Ayy cooul, thank you dude!! Under the cut!

5: Do you like to use post-it notes?

I’ve never really been one for post-it notes but they’re a useful invention

10: What is your biggest pet peeve?

Lateness. I can’t stand being late or when other people are late to me unless they have a good reason or communicate it properly, I was brought up in a household where you’d arrive an hour early or not at all

15: Do you chew your pens and pencils?

Yup, really bad *coughs* oral fixation

20: Do you still watch cartoons?

Not on TV anymore but I like watching animations on youtube? Idk if that counts. I’ll watch Scooby Doo or something if it’s on already but I don’t really search for cartoons anymore on the tv, dad cancelled that part of the tv licence

25: What is your favorite food?

Eggs! I fuckin love eggs, especially scrambled or softboiled for eggs n soldiers :D

30: When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper?

2015, I wrote a letter to my best friend in America with my boyfriend at the time and sent it to her and her friend (we were a friendship foursome) literally like a week before our whole friendship collapsed haha

35: Best thing to eat for breakfast?

Curiously Cinnamon cereal or the two egg dishes I mentioned

40: Are you horny?

Right this minute? No, but I’m surprised I’m not bc it’s been too long ygm

45: Ever watch soap operas?

No, never by choice. Mum loves a bit of Corrie but I find it boring

50: Ever used a gun?

Airsoft, yeah, cuz my dad collects military stuff. Glad we’re not in America otherwise they’d be real guns and I’d Old Yeller myself

55: Favorite type of fruit pie?

I don’t like cooked fruit or pie at all actually :0

60: Wear slippers?

Nahhhh, barefoot or no balls

65: Nike or Adidas?

I used to wear Adidas a bit when I was younger but tbh now I’d say I’m definitely a Nike fanboy. Have you seen some of their new shoes??

70: Is there a profession you picture your future spouse doing?

Nope. I don’t tend to see myself with a future spouse, I only ever dated one person who I saw myself with in the future and we’re not together anymore so tbh I don’t care what they do as long as they’re happy and wants kids w me

75: Own a record player?

I wish! Dad used to have one that belonged to his parents but his sister came and took the record rack and player when my granddad passed away :(

80: Hot tea or cold tea?

I’m English, there’s no such thing as cold tea here lmao. (Tho if I’m honest I don’t really like tea at all personally)

85: Are you patient?

Yeah, I’d say so, the only thing that riles me up quickly is lateness without communication and tbh that’s more of a conditioned reaction from my pops

90: Can you knit or crochet?

Nah but I wanna learn, I like sewing so I think it’d be something to do to pass the time with a cool lil result in the end

95: Do you cry and throw a fit until you get your own way?

Not anymore but I used to when I was younger, I had to go to a lot of different schools bc I was an Angry Child and kept being asked to leave, it wasn’t fun. I’m chill as heck now, I can’t remember the last time I got angry and freaked out over something

Wool of the Andes Worsted Love (& 10-Packs Limited Release)!

I’ve long been a big fan of Wool of the Andes worsted weight yarn! It’s a fantastic basic wool, and you can now grab a 10-pack for a limited time only, either in one of our curated multi-color choices, or in all the same color, perfect for a sweater! I’ve only been working at Knit Picks for a few months, but I was designing knits for many years before I started here, and I’ve used this fantastic basic wool with its enormous variety of color options in multiple design projects over the years.

The first time I used it was for my original stripy Haka hat, way back in 2010, held triple stranded for a super-bulky weight; I later expanded my Haka pattern set to include a cabled version and a matching cabled cowl, all super-bulky, and I knit all the samples in Wool of the Andes held triple stranded. (Sidenote: I love working with triple-stranded yarn to make heavier weights—it’s a great way to use sock yarn if you don’t like fingering weight! Here’s a tutorial for a really easy way to triple strand one strand of yarn, so you only need one ball/skein.)

The other major design project I used Wool of the Andes Worsted in was my third Adventure Knitting collection. These collections are like Choose Your Own Adventure books for knitters, and they have TONS of options; for my third book I wanted to color-code all the stitch patterns, so I went with Wool of the Andes since I knew I’d be able to get all the precise colors I needed!

There were five different categories, each with a color code, one of them using 2-color stitch patterns, and each category was named after a habitat based on the “adventure” story, which meant I needed several distinct shades of blue. The categories were Arctic, Forest, Grassland, Lake, and Ocean, and each category had five different stitch pattern options to choose from, so I knit swatches of each pattern in the color-coded yarns to match the font colors in the book.

I also used a bunch of the leftover yarn to make this sample cowl for the collection. This piece was knit with the Wool of the Andes Worsted held double, for a bulky weight:

And then after it was all over, I had all these pretty swatches just sitting there, so I crocheted a bunch of them together into a patchwork laptop sleeve! Even though the swatches were all varying sizes, the wool yarn is so great at blocking out, it totally smoothed out perfectly after it was all stitched together and washed. I love it so much!

I’ve never made a sweater out of Wool of the Andes, but I know it would be great for one! Browse all 410 pages of Wool of the Andes Worsted sweater projects on ravelry here! Some beauties! You can see just from the first page how great it is for both cables and colorwork. *heart eyes emoji* These below are some Knit Picks patterns: Corrie Sweater by Sue Gleave, Diamond Lattice Pullover by Kephren Pritchett, and Dun Laoghaire Pullover by Triona Murphy:

So yeah, basically Wool of the Andes is great for all the things! Grab yourself a value pack in a single color to make a garment of your own, or a multi-color pack (rainbow is my fave!) if you want to make lots of accessories and other small things like I tend to do!

Olá pessoas!

Tudo bem com vocês?

Fim de ano tá chegando e já começa a bater aquele desespero, corre corre atrás de presentes de natal para a família não é mesmo? O comércio fica a todo vapor, campanhas e comerciais já podemos ver por toda a parte.

Por esses dias eu li um post no Facebook que dizia assim:

“Para quem vai comprar seus presentes de Natal, vai aqui uma sugestão: comprem os presentes com pequenas empresas e autônomos. Da vizinha que vende por catálogo, de artesãos que fazem bijuteria ou boa arte, da amiga que tem uma loja no bairro, do pasteleiro/doceira que faz doces artesanais, do rapaz que tem uma no mercado… Façamos o dinheiro chegar às pessoas comuns e não às grandes multinacionais. Assim haverá mais gente a ter um melhor natal. Apoiemos a nossa gente! Se acha que é uma boa proposta, copie e cole no seu mural.” (autor desconhecido).

Apesar de não ter postado em meu mural, seria mentira se eu dissesse que minha cabeça não ficou pensando sobre isso por alguns dias. Pra quem me conhece e conhece minha família, sabe que minha mãe e irmã são artesãs (eu também sei fazer algumas coisas, mas não me comparo a elas rs), não só isso por que fazem de um tudo. E desde já te convido a acompanhá-las em suas redes sociais: Instagran e Facebook.

Pois bem o que eu quero dizer com isso e esse texto, muitas famílias vivem e se sustentam através de suas habilidades, de seus dons. E por que não ajudá-los adquirindo produtos que muitas das vezes são únicos por serem feitos exclusivamente pra você, e que nunca ninguém conseguirá fazer outro id��ntico? Comprar produtos de revendedores/representantes ao invés de ir a lojas que muitas vezes ou sempre estão cheias nessa época do ano ou nem tem mais o que você queria. Se antecipe e encomende com um desses revendedores, que eu tenho certeza que estarão prontos para te atender!

“Ah Dayane, mas o que esse povo vende que eu posso comprar pra ajudar e me ajudar?” Se liga nas dicas (e no jabá) que vou te mostrar aqui:

O texto desconhecido já dizia tudo: Vamos apoiar a nossa gente!
