Wereloth wolf Obi-Wan: Anakin and Obi-Wan running a mission together and Obi-Wan is bit by a loth wolf, leaving him bed ridden for a whole month. Anakin refuses to leave his side and even stops visiting the chancellor (much to palpatine's frustration) to stay by him, making sure he eats and stays hydrated, because he was to hot even by stewjon standers.

When Obi-Wan can finally get up properly, they find out he's..changed after, dark brown ridges running along his hands, feet and forehead. when he got angry is when they both figured it out.

it was definitely a shock to Anakin to see his beloved master an 8'0 ft strawberry blonde loth wolf in their shared room.

[loverboy-havocboy]

i watched the Rebels episode last night where Gregor elbows Wolffe to point out the loth-wolves fight like his wolf pack, which is probably why last night i dreamed that Comet's testosterone shot turned him into a wolf

omg that's so funny 😂 good for him!!!

i once chatted with someone about comet who got bitten by a werewolf around the time he started testosterone, and thought all of it was normal transition stuff up until he actually fully transformed. he went through a month of "wow, my senses are so much stronger. insane that men have that", "damn, i thought it would take longer for body hair to set in", "i want meat but. raw. probably some sort of primal man urge" and then of course the need to Bite Things, but he already had that so 💖

Hey! I'm sorry you've been getting bots a bunch, that sucks.

I've been following your blog since... 2017, I think?? Your fic "A Pound of Flesh" was one of my absolute favorite in the Tokyo Ghoul fandom, and I still think about parts of it often!

For a light-hearted ask: are you working on anything currently? I'm a fellow Codywan enjoyer, have you ever thought of writing anything for that pairing?

Hope you have a good day!

I'm glad you're still enjoying my little blog after all these years ☺️ "A Pound of Flesh" still holds a special place in my heart and one of my regrets is that it's still unfinished.

As for your light-hearted ask: YES!!! I'm working on a bunch of Codywan fics atm. I have a ton of ideas bouncing around, but I think that I'm really focusing on 3 right now. Here's the list in priority order:

The Knight Obi-Wan and Not-a-princess Cody AU. It's a medieval fantasy AU that starts off with Obi-Wan saving Cody from being eaten by a witch (Ventress). Cody pledges himself to Obi-Wan because of the life debt and the two of them go on adventures. A great deal of the fic is Cody and Obi-Wan constantly trying to keep the other safe, but neither of them are good at staying out of trouble. There's a lot of fantasy tropes: knights, witches, a curse, the undead, a dragon, and true love's kiss. However, a happy ending does not come smoothly, because while Obi-Wan is a knight, Cody is no princess.

Sithspawn AU! In this fic, when the Kaminoans made the clones, Palps got the opportunity to check in on the progress. He was not impressed enough, and decided to use Sith Alchemy to alter the clones further by making them Sithspawn. Most clones have no idea that they're anything more than human, but the Commanders had their Sithspawn traits activated as children and are burdened with the knowledge that they are not only supposed to kill the Jedi, but that they're going to eat them. The Clone Wars happen, and Cody and Obi-Wan meet. Cody doesn't want to kill Obi-Wan but he knows from experience that when the Sith give orders he has to obey regardless of his feelings. He knows about the Orders but not how they work. While Cody is angsty over whether or not he should get close to Obi-Wan and ends up doing so anyway, Obi-Wan has been not so subtly courting Cody with food. (Whether or not Obi-Wan fully understands his own feelings fully is up to interpretation.) Everyone around the couple thinks they're trying to wait til after the war to make their relationship official not knowing that in Cody's eyes, there will never be an after the war where both he and Obi-Wan make it. This one actually has quite a few chapters finished, but I'm holding off posting so that I can actually finish the whole thing and not fret about having another unfinished fic out in the wild. I have a feeling that I might not be very successful 😆

Vampire x Werewolf AU! In which Cody's a vampire and Obi-Wan is a werewolf. Most Mandalorians are vampires (with Mando adoption rites actually being vampire turning) but most of Jango's clones are human (something that makes most Mandos agree that the clones aren't Mandalorians.) However, Jango did turn a few of his clones, including Cody. This causes issues for poor Cody because the clones as a whole are very traumatized by vampires. There were plenty of cases of vampire trainers attacking and feeding on cadets, or even turning clones for laughs, making them starve, then tossing them into a group of their human brothers just to see what happens. Cody was turned just before the Clone Wars happened, so almost no one knows about his change in species, but he's struggling as he has a hard time finding food in a way that doesn't hurt anyone or reveals his secret. He ends up getting an ally in Obi-Wan, because as a wolf, Obi-Wan doesn't trigger Cody's hunting instincts and thus is safe. Meanwhile on Obi-Wan's side of things, part of being a Jedi is the ability to turn into a giant wolf, similar to Loth wolves. It's part of being a trained Force Sensitive. As a wolf, a Jedi can access more powerful Force abilities than normal, like battle meditation, mass healing, Emerald Justice (Jedi lightning) long range telepathy, and more. Due to the war going on, and the need for more of a power boost, most Jedi spend their time as wolves and many clones don't realize they have a humanoid form. For the most part Jedi prefer to stay in one form, because frequent transformations can be very draining. Because they spend so much time as wolves, the general population are extra wary of the Jedi. This causes problems as Obi-Wan has a hard time assuring civilians. He leans on the 212th (Cody especially) to act as ambassadors. As mentioned earlier, vampire hunting instincts don't ping off Jedi wolves. Animal blood just isn't in a vampire's diet and is basically useless to them. It's a different story with Jedi in their human forms. Being so chock full of the Force makes a Jedi especially delicious to a vampire, especially because drinking a humanoid Jedi's blood gives a vampire some abilities depending on how much they take: the ability to go out in the sun, strength, speed, telekinesis, shape shifting (just to name a few). In Mando culture it was a big deal to be able to feed off a Jedi because you could only do it if the Jedi was humanoid and most Jedi when seeing they were facing Mandos just went wolfy.

Sorry this got a bit long lol. I had fun talking about all of these though ☺️ I have other fics bouncing around but I'm trying to be good and focus.

[supportwomenscannibalism]

I need someone who isn’t afraid to use the word “fuck” (I hate Star Wars swearing, okay, I’m sorry) to write Werewolf!Cal Merrical fic.

Do I know that werewolves aren’t canon to Star Wars? Yes. Do I care? No.

If we can have space wizards and 4 different canon species of vampires I can have a werewolf. Something something a Sith alchemist experimented on a loth-wolf and mutated it which then bites Cal and there are weird Force things…

Whatever the excuse. I want some raunchy werewolf sex for Merrin/Cal.

ROLEPLAY PARTNERS WANTED!

I have no desire to write on tumb/lr anymore but I am searching for potential writing partners on disc/ord/gmail/docs.

ABOUT ME

30+ year old roleplayer with 20+ years experience spanning many platforms & fandoms. I have a full-time job & life. I prefer multi-para to novella writing, potential NSFW themes depending on the storyline, & am open to writing with OCs (as long as they don't linger into self-insert territory) & canons. I am also open to doing AUs or crossovers with them.

FANDOMS

I am seeking out two specific fandoms - Marvel (MCU specifically up to Endgame; last show watched was The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) & Lord of the Rings/Silmarillion (books based but movies only knowledge is welcome, not familiar with Rings of Power currently but open to interacting with people who also use that).

I am open to crossovers & AU stuff also for the fandoms.

CHARACTERS

I have 3 I am looking to write specifically:

Karen Page - NMCU/MCU based canon (been writing & developing 6+ years)

Lothíriel - LOTR book/headcanon based canon (been writing & developing 10+ years)

Nessavendë - Silmarillion/LOTR based OC (been writing and developing 20+ years)

I also have an OC I have written long-term as well who is available:

Adrienne Reidar - Werewolf: the Apocalypse/Werewolf: The Forsaken based OC (been writing & developing 15+ years)

WANTED FANDOMS

Of my four, Karen is the most flexible in regards to fandoms obviously. For her:

MCU (DD/Punisher/Defenders at the top with movie and other shows coming in second)

DC

Peaky Blinders

The Leftovers

Apocalypse settings

Letterkenny/Shoresy

Wrestling

I also open to any settings & characters for her that are modern, not necessarily superhero based.

For Nessa & Loth:

Tolkien based (books, OG trilogy, not seen ROP & no interest in the games produced or knowledge of them but I have no qualms with interactions)

Modern settings (AU or a post-Dagor Dagorath situation)

Game of Thrones

Other fantasy settings

WANTED PLOTS

Honestly just depends on who you want to write and write against. For shipping, anything is open for all four of my characters (romantic [all four are bisexual but obviously Loth will be less sure of her own sexuality], platonic, familial, etc.). I am down for different ideas on writing & I am not insanely strict on adhering to canon to the point we are writing the books out. Exploration is the game.

I have docs available with information for all four including headcanons that have been developed over the years of writing each of them.

Hit the 🖤 and I will contact you from my main blog or send me a message!

[tennessoui]

ok but werewolf gffa au. stay with me stay with me ok 

Stewjoni people are all werewolves, even prim and “that’s so uncivilized” Obi-Wan Kenobi, but it doesn’t usually affect him much at all, because the artificial full moon on Coruscant doesn’t trigger his transformation -- he spends most of his time on the planet and almost never experiences his “wolf” side as any travel he does falls on days when there isn’t a full moon, so most people don’t even know he’s Stewjoni.

This changes when Anakin becomes his padawan because now he’s taking him off-planet on missions so often that he’s experiencing way more partial transformations. He has enough control that even on full moon nights, he doesn’t go full wolf, but his instincts take over and he becomes more violent, more protective, more sensitive to smells along with minor physical changes when his control slips.

It’s still not much of a problem. They just schedule their off-planet trips when there won’t be a full moon on their destination planet, and if there is, Obi-Wan deals with it the best he can, and Anakin deals with an overprotective and coddling Master for a few days.

But then the Clone Wars break out, and scheduling their trips to planets based on that planet’s lunar cycles is impossible because there are so many other priorities; Obi-Wan and his troops need to go where the fighting is; no one is able to predict how long a siege would take anyway.

And then Dooku’s seen on a planet in the Mid-Rim. Obi-Wan and Anakin are deployed to capture him immediately. The only problem is this planet has like. eight moons, and at least one is always full. No one realizes how much the moons are affecting Obi-Wan until Dooku taunts Anakin about the loss of his arm, and Obi-Wan responds by ripping his throat out with his teeth.

[toebeansandotherbaes]

It had been another one of the Chancellor's ideas. Bring a strange loth-wolf to Coruscant; have the scientists study it's strange anatomy and physiology and behaviors.

The ones who got to ship it to the labs? The Corries. The one who had to sedate the damn thing so it could be transported? Paws.

He didn't like it. Something about the way it walked more on two legs than four, the intelligent and vicious gleam in it's eyes; it gave Paws the willies.

He sighed as he got the tranquilizer ready and walked closer to the cage.

"try and keep it's attention on that side," he called to some shinies. "Don't get too close to the cage though!"

He waited until the creature was charging the other side jabbing the pole into the cage. He was so sure.

Then the creature grabbed his arm through the bars and pulled him against it. Paws panicked and tried to get loose, only to feel the creature's massive teeth bite through and shatter his grieve and into his arm.

He screamed in panic as his arm was broken and hot blood ran down his blacks.

/Oh god I'm going to die!/ He thought as he screamed and pulled his arm.

The Corination of Avalon

I wanted to get this out before the last chapter of Changling Families vs The Titans. It’s almost everyone in their formal wear. I left out Darci, Aja and Krel as well as Angor and Morgana. I do want to do one for Angor and Morgana later though. Closeups of everyone under the cut.

Lady Claire, apprentice and heir of Angor Rott. I had so much fun designing her dress! I got to play with all kinds of pens for it as well. I was originally going to go with something a little closer to what Barbara is wearing but when looking for references I stumbled across a bunch of Quinceanera dresses and fell absolutely in love. I probably could have done more with her hair, though.

Sir Steve of New Avalon, one of the head of the Knights of New Avalon. He brought his armor back from Ancient Avalon with him after their ‘temporal accident’.

Prince Elijah, Fairy Prince of New Avalon. Technically, he should be dressed in Ancient Greek clothes but I fudged up at the beginning of his storyline and dressed him in Roman clothes so it’s too late to change it now. I like how this turned out anyway.

Lord Tobias, Duke Heir of Akoridian V. Toby now gets to sport a full Akoridian suit, complete with a royal cape. I had to dust off my old Circular Galifrayan for the markings inside his core window.

Sir Seamus, Werewolf Alfa of New Avalon. I used the Johnston tartan as a reference for his kilt since I had stated earlier that his grandmother (his mother’s mother) is from Ireland. I also gave him a small fur cape as a part of werewolf culture in this fic. Most other werewolves would have a much larger pelt but since Seamus had to use pelts from the Arcadia Valley and Angor helped him with the legality of what animals he could use, his is much shorter.

Lady Mary, the Lady of the Lake. I put the most effort into this outfit. Since Mary’s a goddess now, I wanted her outfit to reflect that as well as have a water motif. I spent DAYS looking at references and flipping through animes that my brother-in-law recommended for this. I ended up going with a more modern and less formal hair clip to go with it. Once again I turned to Circular Galifrayan for the hair clip since it’s meant to be built around her Akoridian hair clip from Karl Uhl. But I’m not 100% satisfied with the way the colors shift.

Atlas, Leader of Heartstone Trollmarket. I’ve drawn Jim as Atlas befor but this is a more formal variation. Here he wears trollish garb, lacking his usual leggings, tunic, and vest. He also has more features of his original base form; particularly his ruff of fur that i don’t think I’ve drawn since his baby pictures. He holds his wings closed with his adoption medallion, which now is embellished with a shard of Vendal’s stone.

King Waltolomew the Wise and Queen Barbara the Brave, King and Queen of New Avalon. I’m super happy with how Barbara turned out! All the colors are so pretty on her. Walt on the other hand… The royal colors of Avalon are not flattering on him. I think I spent nearly an hour just trying to find the right color combination for him.

Lord Otto and Lady Elizabeth, Duke and Countess of New Avalon. I LOTHE how ugly Otto’s outfit is. I also lothe that it’s not entirely inaccurate. Because Otto and Liza are ~500 years old, they’re both wearing clothing from Germany the 1500s. Otto’s outfit could have been much, much worse. I should have dressed him in something similar to Walt… Liza, on the other hand, makes me very happy. Even if I don’t love the colors. However, I can’t imagine wearing that many layers in Southern California in the summer so I had a little mercy and gave her a sheer veil rather than the thick wool one she should be wearing. She spends most of the night holding up those rediculous skirts. Neither of these two are having a very good time...

Queen Lenora and Antonia, Fairy Queen of New Avalon and Daughter. Lenora got the same treatment as Eli as far as her outfit goes but she also got a new and fancier hairstyle. I think I like the headband better the gold clasps from before. Antonia’s outfit is pretty basic since she’s still a baby.

Lady Nomura and Sir Erik, Duchess of New Avalon and son. Was this an excuse to draw Nomura and Erik in Kimonos? Maybe so. I had a lot of fun doing it. Nomura’s kimono is modeled after the one I drew her wearing when I drew the original trio as babies but I almost forgot that she only has one arm now. I spent a little more time deciding what color Erik’s kimono was but, ultimately, decided he gets to match his mother.

Pastry Boxes

Bad Batch Werewolf AU chap 7

Summary: Echo and Rex check in with Naylaz, Crosshair does something offensive, and a semi familiar Mandalorian approaches Echo with a specific request.

Oh and a baker demiboy flirts with Echo through food.

Word count: 3k

Warnings: general au warnings, self harm, child self harm, implied/referenced self harm, and also slurs and Crosshair being a space racists.

A/N: Crosshair canonically is a space nazi so even here he's still a bit of a space racist. (I like to bully him in case you can't tell.) Also I hc Echo as gay, and asexual, and that's fun.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Enjoy!

Bad Batch Loth-Werewolf AU Masterpost

________________________________________________________________________________

Naylaz glanced up from sharpening a blade as the two clones came in again. Rex and Echo.

Echo was in charge of that little pack, he was the oldest. She didn't quite know what the deal with Rex was, but she knew he wasn't part of this little pack.

She waved them over to her work desk, she'd had a bit of an unexpected delivery this morning.

"I was just looking for you two. You've got a package from a friend." She told them.

She pulled the pastry box out from under the counter and plopped it down in front of them. Echo's eyes lit up with recognition.

"Who delivered this?" He asked.

"A friend of mine." Naylaz smirked.

"You should consider yourselves lucky to have caught her attention. She's a real help when she wants to be." She told them.

Naylaz grabbed the small set of vials her friend had left as well.

"She also left this. Said your pup would need more." She pushed the set towards the Loth.

"I'll be sure to tell her you appreciate it." She chuckled to herself.

"Who is this friend of yours? Are they trustworthy?" Rex asked.

He was more hesitant, he hadn't met her yet like Echo had. Even if he didn't know just who he had the fortune of running into quite yet.

"Oh she's trustworthy alright, but I am not allowed to give out names, so you'll just have to stay on her good side." She told him with a wink.

The clone frowned but didn't push the subject.

"Is it going any better with you?" She asked, changing the subject slightly.

"She still hasn't come out." Echo sighed in defeat.

"Just give her time to feel secure and she'll come out when she's ready." She assured them.

"Hunter's too worried to leave her alone." Rex said.

"That's making it worse." She pointed out, jabbing the now perfectly sharp knife in their general direction before sliding it into its sheath and setting it aside for inventory.

Echo shot her a slightly annoyed, mostly exasperated look.

"What do you suggest I do? Order him to stop?"

It was clearly a rhetorical question, but she answered it anyway as she started to work another blade.

"Yes."

"I can't order him around, he-"

"You're the oldest right? Out of the six of you?" Naylaz cut him off.

Echo glanced at Rex, who shrugged, then looked back to her.

"Yes but I-"

"Then you are in charge. Don't you know how packs are supposed to work?" She asked them.

"The G.A.R. organized packs in an army structure, is that… wrong?" Rex said cautiously.

Naylaz pinched the bridge of her snout and sighed.

"Yes. That's wrong. Packs, and Loths in general, are organized by experience, the oldest healthy member takes the lead and goes into danger first, they make sure everyone else is taken care of and safe, that's their job, that same responsibility falls to every Loth when they deal with someone younger than them. They don't hold absolute authority, what sort of a pack is that?" Naylaz said.

The clones exchanged another curious glance. Naylaz settled on explaining it another way.

"If we were in the same pack, I would be higher up than you because I'm older, I have more experience in life and know more about what to do and not to do. I know how to take care of myself pretty well. You following?"

The pair nodded.

"But I am not the leader of my pack, I'm not a full adult yet, so I don't have responsibility for the pups and elders, I only have the pups, my older siblings are the ones making sure everyone is okay."

"Now, my whole extended family is not part of the same pack, that'd be way too many members to keep track of for one Loth, the whole family is a clan-pack, and clan-packs have lots of normal packs in them. All the normal pack leaders come together to make decisions for the whole of the clan-pack. Do you understand it now?" Naylaz said.

The two clones looked only a bit less confused than before.

Naylaz growled in annoyance at them, but before she could say anymore, Caoimhe ran over to her from the other side of the shop and hid behind her, tail wrapped tightly around herself. Naylaz glanced in the direction she had come and found Crosshair lurking, she did not like that Loth.

"What did you do?" She barked.

She didn't miss the slight growl from Echo for her shouting at his little brother. It was a natural reaction so she didn't really take much offense with it.

"You think I'm the cause of this?" Crosshair snapped back.

"Well she's crying and came running from where you are." Naylaz growled.

Caoimhe tugged her apron, Naylaz angled an ear down towards her niece. She didn't take her eyes off the clone.

"H-h-he ca-called me a-an elf!" Caoimhe sobbed into her.

Naylaz glared at the offending clone, a deep growl rumbled in her throat as she wrapped her tail around her niece protectively. Echo's growling had stopped, he realized what his idiot brother had done.

"You called her an elf?" She asked.

"It's true, ain't it?"

The clone shrugged, seemingly unaware of what was so very wrong with what he said.

"You called her an elf." That wasn't a question, but oh boy, did this clone have a death wish.

"It doesn't matter." He snarled.

Naylaz snapped.

"Doesn't matter? Doesn't matter?! It fucking matters when humans point out all the things that make you different and lesser than them and use something you can't control against you!" She shouted.

"Relax! It's just a-"

She tossed a knife at him, it landed right next to his head, cutting off a few gray hairs. His cold facade crumbled to shock.

"Do not finish that fucking sentence." She ordered.

She scooped Caoimhe into her arms, the trembling pup hid her face in the crook of her neck.

"Get out of my shop." She ordered Crosshair.

Crosshair rolled his eyes but wound up looking at Echo for instruction, just proving his status as the pack lead. Echo, for one, looked furious and extremely disappointed, Rex looked like he regretted something.

"Teach your pup some fucking manners." She growled, turning to head into the family area in the back.

Evidently, Crosshair did not like her referring to him as an insolent, ill mannered pup, which he absolutely was, because he tossed the knife back at her. Now, Naylaz had been working with weaponry her whole life and more importantly, been around a lot of reckless pups, her reaction time was exceptional.

She caught the knife and stabbed it through her anger board in a single swift motion. She glared over her shoulder at the alarmed clone, it wouldn't have hit her, but he'd only wanted to prove something, he wound up proving her point.

"Get out."

Echo physically dragged Crosshair back to the marauder. He was furious with his vod'ika, extremely furious.

He tossed the younger man into the ship and blocked the exit, growling at him for being such an idiot. His growling got the attention of his other brothers.

"Whoa, what's got Echo so mad?" Wrecker asked

"How did you get Echo this mad? I didn't think it was possible." Tech commented as he slipped out of the cockpit.

Crosshair only glared at him and refused to speak. Echo growled at his little brother again. Hunter trotted into the hull and glared at him, not noticing the target of his anger.

"Echo, what are you growling about?" Hunter asked, tail lashing with annoyance.

"Crosshair over here decided he'd make a kid cry, for fun." Echo snarled.

Hunter glanced at Crosshair and took a step towards their younger brother.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing that matters." Crosshair huffed.

Echo snarled at the lie, Crosshair flinched.

"Tech, mind explaining what calling someone an elf means to Spælves?" He growled.

Tech was silent for a moment, Echo glanced up, his brother was staring at Crosshair with a mix of shock and anger.

"He didn't, did he?" Tech asked.

"He did. He said it to a little kid." Echo confirmed.

Tech growled reflexively at Crosshair.

"It is extremely offensive to call a Spælf an elf, it's saying they are weak, useless and undeserving of life." Tech snarled.

Realization finally dawned on Crosshair's face. He'd known elf was a derogatory term, but he apparently didn't know what it meant.

"You just told a child she didn't deserve to be alive." Echo growled, just to make sure the point was really nailed home.

Echo returned to the Peli shop the next day, Omega had taken the new medication, and the pastry box he gave to her. He still didn't completely know how to approach the situation, but he figured if he could have another talk with that Mandalorian doctor, maybe get them to talk to Omega, that would help. Right?

He also wanted to apologize to Naylaz and Caoimhe for Crosshair's shit head behavior.

He opened the door to loud shouting.

"He did what?!" A vaguely familiar voice shouted.

He peered around the corner into Naylaz's corner of the shop. A hooded Mandalorian with a unique armor style was standing at the counter across from the Spælf.

"Yep, he did." Naylaz growled in agreement.

"I'm going to kill the bastard, where is he?" The Mandalorian snapped, stabbing a knife into a board with lots of gashes in it.

Echo cleared his throat, Naylaz glanced over at him, the Mandalorian spun around to face him.

They stared for a second, then broke out into a fit of laughter. Naylaz rolled her eyes behind them and went back to work.

"Is there something I'm missing?" Echo asked the Mandalorian.

"No, er, yeah actually, that's what makes it funny." The Mandalorian said through their laughter.

He spotted a box behind them, a pastry box.

"Shit." Echo cursed.

"Ay, he got it!" The Mandalorian said, punctuating the statement with a clap.

"So how's your sister doing?" They -er she right, Naylaz said she, right?- asked.

Terrible. He wanted to say, she still hadn't come out and she was still hurting herself.

"She's… alright given the circumstances." He admitted.

"Better than before?" She prompted.

"I think so." He said.

"Good."

The Mandalorian started looking around the knives, tapping her foot as she observed her options.

"You know anything about knives?" She asked him.

"Military issued ones, yes." Echo said.

He walked up to the selection she was looking at. The knives on display were far more detailed and of similar or better quality to what he normally used. There was a sign to the side about custom made bladed weapons.

"Does Naylaz make all of these?" He asked.

"Some of em yeah, she also makes swords, but she's definitely the bow and combinations specialist here, there are others in the family that make most of the knives, this is just one of their shops." The Mandalorian told him.

"Combinations?" Echo pondered.

"Yeah, her bow can be a pair of swords and she's got 'em tricked out with a special magnetism so she can throw them and they'll come flying back to her hands, well it really goes back to the shooting glove she's got." She explained.

"Like a Jedi?" Echo prompted.

"Yeah, kinda like that, 'cept Nal isn't using magic." She shrugged.

"The Force isn't magic." Echo frowned down at her, he was taller than her, just like he'd thought.

"What do you know about the Jedi shit?" She countered.

"Enough. What do you know?" Echo shot back.

"How to stop a Jedi." She deadpanned.

"Ah, right, Mandalorians don't like Jedi." Echo said.

The Mandalorian picked up a serrated knife with grooves carved into the metal and twirled it in her hands.

"Not necessarily." She said.

"Really? Most of the ones I've met hate the Jedi." Echo said.

"Yeah, Death Watch doesn't speak for all of us, most of us don't mind 'em so long as they stay out of the way. Good for a friendly spat though." She said.

"Huh." Echo huffed.

The Mandalorian kept twirling the knife in her hands.

"So…your little brother?" She started.

"Don't even bother, we dealt with him already." Echo told her.

"Where is he." She wasn't asking.

Echo raised an eyebrow at her, he was sure without that helmet he'd be seeing a big grin.

"I just wanna talk." She said sweetly.

"No you don't."

"Alright fine, I don't. So how about you tell me where I can find him, and when I do find him I don't kill him." She suggested.

"What are you going to do?" Echo asked dryly.

"Scare the fucking shit out of him."

"Eh, that's fine." Echo said.

He was glad none of his brothers were here to see how little time he spent thinking about that decision.

"Oh this is gonna be fun." The Mandalorian chuckled.

Maybe that was a bit of a mistake. Only a bit.

The Mandalorian turned to look at other, much more intimidating weapons, then she apparently remembered something. Sge spun around to face him.

"Quick question and don't take this the wrong way, I lost a bet." She said.

"Uh, okay?" Echo was both mildly curious and concerned by that statement.

"You dating anyone?"

Echo did not like the way that question made his face feel. His tail, the absolute traitor it was, shyly tucked between his legs.

"What?" He asked.

"One of the bakers has seen you around and he thinks you're cute or something, but he's too nervous to ask if you're available theirself and I owed him a favor so they made me ask you." She explained calmly.

"Oh." Echo breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's why he keeps sending me with those boxes. They are really shy but really kind and a pretty good cook." She said.

"Oh, that, uh, that's nice." Echo mumbled out.

"Is that all you've got to say?" She prompted.

Echo stared at the ground, he did not know why he was feeling like this. It was really strange and confusing. He definitely did not like his body giving him away like this, his ears were perked straight up at attention and his tail was trying to wag.

"Is this the first time someone's flirted with you?" She gasped in mock surprise.

"I knew clones didn't get out much but geesh, even the clones I knew got some action, though they were stuck on Coruscant and I guess you can find a lot more there than when you're fighting for your life." She chuckled.

Echo glanced at them, suddenly curious about them, his ears perked further. As far as he knew, there weren't any Mandalorians, especially not one this young, working with the Republic during the war.

"Hey wait a minute, how do you know clones?" He asked, embarrassment temporarily forgotten.

The Mandalorian stopped messing around and turned her head towards him, tilting it slightly.

"You said you knew some." Echo pressed.

"I did, didn't I?." She mused.

Despite the dodgy response, Echo didn't get that gut feeling of danger or distrust when someone was unsafe. This Mandalorian was more secretive than he liked, but for whatever reason, she wasn't a danger. His instincts were telling him he could, and should trust her.

"I'm personal friends with Senator Chuchi, she asked me to help her out with something personal and, while I've been hired for a lot of things, setting that little meeting up was definitely one of the funniest things I've ever done." She giggled at the end.

"So Senator Chuchi was…" Echo trailed off, he really didn't want to finish that sentence.

"Oh yeah, her batchmates had a field day with that." She said.

"Her? The clone was a female?" Echo asked.

"Uh yeah…? She's trans, well they're actually a demigirl. Why do you ask?" She said.

"Oh, I just haven't heard of many of those." Echo said, feeling slightly disappointed in the answer, unless Omega was also trans… that was a question for another time. He had more pressing matters, like finding who Cid sent them for.

"You're a bounty hunter, right?" He started.

"Eh sorta?" She shrugged.

"You wouldn't happen to know about any Jedi around these parts?" He asked.

"Aren't they all dead?" She said dryly.

"I heard from someone there might be a survivor around here." Echo said.

"Hmm, can't say I have, I'll keep an ear out for you." She said.

The Mandalorian wrapped up her visit with the purchase of a few new weapons, one of which Echo was sure was meant to intimidate Crosshair, and gave him some more of that medicine, for Omega and himself.

"Do you know how to get her to come out?" He asked, glancing up from the glass vial.

"I'm not a therapist, but your best bet would be to be calm and ask her if you can come in. The most important thing is to be calm, reassuring and whatever happens, don't freak out." She told him.

Echo sighed. He needed to talk with Hunter about this, Omega couldn't stay locked up in the bathroom forever.

The Mandalorian patted his shoulder.

"Good luck." She told him.

Echo watched her leave.

Right as she turned the corner outside the shop, something slid out from behind the modified kama she wore. A fluffy, pastel purple tail.

Echo smirked to himself.

That Mandalorian had a pair of hatches on the top of her helmet, something like the ear holes Loth troopers had in their helmets. It was very practical for their kind.

He wouldn't pry the next time he saw her, for whatever reason she didn't want him, a clone who for all she knew worked for the Empire, to know she was Loth. It wasn't any of his business.

Crosshair was no doubt about to be harassed by a very angry Loth or Mandalorian.

And that wasn't his business either.

He looked down at the pastry box, it had the name of that baker on it. Maybe he should pay him a visit.

________________________________________________________________________________

Echo's gonna be getting flirty and gay with a cute baker demiboy.

Crosshair is going to be getting the ever loving shit scared/beat out of hum by an angry, short mando wolf girl.

The mando from last chapter and this one are the same btw, Echo wouldn't have known what she was without Naylaz mentioning her earlier, which is why she was described with they/them last chapter from Echo's pov.

She's an oc from another AU I have and she's really fun to write in this sorta chaotic good cryptic way. You don't know how much that conversation with Echo fits her character.

The demigirl clone mentioned is another oc of mine from that same AU, they are in a relationship with Riyo💙. She's been retired from the Empire cause they're really annoying and Palpatine didn't want to deal with her anymore but would get haunted if he killed them so he retired her.

Happy Halloween 🎃!

VJS Out!

"A big towering hairy beast built like two wookies stacked on each other, mixed with a mangy loth-wolf", while the prospect of Tech turning into a roided up space werewolf is fun, i propose maned-wolf looking werewolf Tech instead. Majestic, regal, legs for days, kinda silly looking... Perfect nerdy looking werewolf.

Truly a frightful beast...
