Noah masterlist

————————————

“Noah, we can’t do this…”

Noah held her chin between his thumb and index finger, tilting her head so she could look at nothing but him. He ran his thumb over her bottom lip. He reveled in the way she ogled him. He loved seeing how much her eyes betrayed her words. Her desire was clouding her logic.

“Hm,” he hummed, tugging her bottom lip. “Your face is telling me something else.”

He ghosted his lips over hers, her surprised gasp made his lips curve into a smug smirk. Noah made no move to kiss her, just simply teased her with the temptation. She was weak to him and they both knew it. Noah felt the tickle of her lashes against his cheek. He licked his lips with a smile—licking hers in the process. Noah pressed closer to her, sliding his knee between her legs. A small whine escaped her.

“You know,” Noah spoke against her mouth, then moved his lips to her ear. “You’re not subtle in the way you look at me.”

His hand rested at her waist. He felt her tense under him as he splayed his fingers over her stomach. Noah used his other hand to grab her chin again and force her to look at him. Her lips were parted and her eyes were glazed over with lust. The hand on her stomach kneaded delicately. Her breathing was heavy.

“If you want me to stop, push me away.” Noah whispered against her lips. “You have the control here, not me.”

“I—“

She grabbed his hand when he slid it lower towards her waistband. Noah stopped, but didn’t remove his hand. He watched her. He could almost see the gears turning in her head, hastily weighing her options and their consequences.

“Goddammit Noah,” she huffed, gripping his hand tight. “You’re fucking with my head.”

He couldn’t help his chuckle.

“Don’t blame me now.” Noah walked his fingers a little lower and stopped again. “You eyefuck me constantly.”

“I do no—“

“Oh yes you do.” He snapped back, his fingers now at the waistband of her leggings. “I’m giving you one last chance before I make this decision for you.”

Noah slipped his hand into her leggings.

“How wet are you, I wonder?”

He hummed delightedly, feeling the dampness through her panties. He pressed a finger to her clit and bit his lip with a smirk as her eyes closed with a deep, almost angry sigh.

“You’re so cute, acting like you don’t like me touching you.”

“Fuck you, Noah.”

“We’ll see if we get that far, though with that attitude you’ll be lucky to get a proper finger fuck.”

Noah continued to run a finger over her contained wetness. He wanted to plunge his fingers inside her so bad, but he liked the idea of rubbing her through her slick stained underwear more. He moved his fingers back over her clit and started lazily rubbing. She bit her lip to keep from moaning.

“You can push me away at any time.” He kissed the space just below her earlobe. “I won’t be upset, but you might be.”

Noah moved his fingers a little faster as she tried to work with him.

“There you go,” he praised, “Grind some more.”

She obeyed quickly, prompting Noah to pick up his pace. Her breathing started to falter. He watched the way her face contorted and twisted the closer she got. She came with a quiet curse. Noah rubbed her through it, coaxing her breathing along. He left his hand in her pants, gently petting his hand over her now very wet panties.

“Thank you for letting me make your choice for you.” He kissed her neck.

“I fucking hate you.” She said between breaths.

Noah chuckled then bit her throat.

“You absolutely don’t,” he bit her again. “But I’m down for a quick hate fuck if you are.”

Kallus stalked into Echo Base's main messhall kitchen as the staff were clearing up from the second dinner rotation of the cycle. "Which of you were working here during lunch?" he snapped at the nearest person there.

The dozen or so staff members exchanged glances. Four of them started laughing. Kallus stomped toward them with enough lethal intent that they stopped, although they kept on smirking.

"Did you want to take leftovers back to that trash hauler you live in?" one of them asked.

The rest started laughing again. They were lucky Hera and Chopper were still in the medbay, where they couldn't hear that insult to the Ghost. The kitchen staff who didn't act like they were friends with this group were finding things to do at the other end of the room.

There were subtle ways to handle this situation. Kallus was not in the mood for subtlety. His blaster was in his hand and pointed at the nearest giggler's head before he thought it through. That stopped all these bastards' laughter.

"Hey, Imp, it's just diablotin oseille," stammered the one Kallus was imagining putting a blaster bolt in. "Your stomach cramps'll stop before tomorrow noon, it's a joke, a prank, you know, a--"

"I'm fine. Garazeb Orrelios is suffering through a series of injections and possibly surgery."

"It's... No, that can't be right. It doesn't even affect Wookiees." The kriffing poisoner looked to his friends for support, but they didn't look so certain as they had a moment ago.

"He's a Lasat." Kallus's blaster hand shook slightly as he forced himself not to pull the trigger. "And he's allergic."

Zeb had also been fine directly after he ate the food Kallus didn't have the appetite to finish himself. The crushed leaves these bastards put in his meal left Kallus with minor stomach cramps. Thirty minutes after lunch, Zeb's throat had swollen shut.

The panic in Zeb's widening eyes, his horrible wheezing breaths, and the way he clutched at his throat would be burned into Kallus's memory forever. When Zeb's legs gave out on their way to the medbay, Kallus had barely been able to catch him before he crashed onto the icy floor. Even now, Kallus could still feel Zeb's grasp on his shoulder as he went down.

As soon as Hera, Jacen, and Chopper arrived at the medbay to support Zeb, and the doctors could assure Kallus that Zeb would live, Kallus had come here.

The kitchen contained five fewer staff than it had when Kallus arrived, and he hadn't started shooting yet. Somebody was running to report him. He'd have to wind this up quickly.

"This is a warning." Kallus's voice had taken on its old ISB severity, and he couldn't find it in himself to care. "If you ever put unlisted ingredients, seasoning, anything in the food here again, no one will find your bodies."

"We didn't know, we didn't think--"

"I don't care."

Kallus had memorized their faces well enough to describe them to their superior, who he would be speaking with tomorrow morning. He holstered his blaster and left through the kitchen's back door as what sounded like a whole squad of base security personnel entered through the door to the dining area. With any luck, the poisoners would find themselves reassigned to perimeter patrol this time tomorrow.

pining/yearning fic prompts that are also taylor swift lyrics

i wonder if he knows he's all i think about at night

you're the only thing i know like the back of my hand

i'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

i hear the sound of my own voice asking you to stay

where were you while i'm wondering if i'll ever see you again?

sometimes i wonder when you sleep, are you ever dreaming of me?

you've ruined my life by not being mine

i loved you in secret

wanting was enough-- for me, it was enough

my hands are shaking from holding back from you

i don't want you like a best friend

i love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?

his hands around a cold glass make me want to know that body like it's mine

cancelled my plans just in case you'd call

will you call when you're back at school?

i won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay

i wait patiently, he's gonna notice me. it's okay, we're the best of friends

why'd you have to lead me on?

you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

My hope was just in season and that's the truth of it (A La La - Jukebox the Ghost)

The accent in your voice, and all the words you use, I like the way you talk, I love you (The Drums - Tanya Davis)

A wild world sharpens its claws, as the nightfire burns, the shadows fade, and at the blush of dawn we'll be okay (Nightfire - Juniper Vale)

Like the angels in the submarine, we'll hold water with our weighted wings (Cassiopeia - Anju)

The universe is an open door, a cosmic retreat beneath my bedroom floor (Starry Eyed - Linus from the Stars)

Whumptober 2023, Prompt No. 29: "I only sink deeper the deeper I think."

And with this piece, I have finished all of the prompts I wanted to for Whumptober! (But there's still two more I need to post on here - I'll be doing that soon.) Of all the ones that I've done this and my piece for prompt no. 23 are probably tied for my favorite. I *was* hoping to get this out on time, but by the time I finished it was already late 😂

btw, the red bubbles are just part of the spot coloring. Don't worry about the bird man, he's fine... physically, anyway. Also, if you look closely at the text there's a minor lore drop I snuck in.

Will Ramos masterlist

Somewhere Masterlist

————————————

Somewhere along the way, I fell hopelessly and profoundly in love with Will. It could have happened when we were dumb teenagers. Maybe it was when he was just a temporary fill in. Or perhaps when he fully joined and after he introduced me to everyone. I definitely knew by the time he left for Europe the first time.

How does that saying go?

“Distance makes the heart grow fonder.”

The day I finally realized came crashing down around me. It felt like a semi had destroyed every wall around my heart. Even though I’ve known it forever, I still tried to brush it off and deny it. There was no way in hell I could tell him. I buried it inside my chest, swallowing every pin and needle as I dug the deepest hole I could. I filled it with cement, hoping that would be enough to keep it contained. This had to stay way below the surface. The risk was too great to take—

But the way he enveloped and embraced me when I picked him from the airport tested the integrity of my burial. The love and care in his soft brown eyes and the warmth of his smile made the feelings in my heart’s grave swell back to life. Tears pricked my eyes. I was overwhelmed with emotions. Will’s lovesick expression shifted quickly into concern. His thumbs brushed away my tears as his hands cupped my face. The tender gesture made me choke on a sob.

“Woah, hey. What’s wrong?” His voice was soft—so soft.

The worry on his face was palpable. I screwed my eyes shut, not wanting to see Will. I couldn’t bear it. Another sob ripped from my throat when he titled my head back.

“Look at me, please.” He coaxed. Reluctantly, I did as asked, blinking away more tears that clouded my vision. “Tell me what’s wrong.”

“I—“ My voice cracked before I could form a full sentence. I weakly cleared my throat. “I just missed you.”

Will stared at me for a beat, then smiled sweetly. He stroked my cheeks.

“I missed you too.”

The crude structure I built in my heart started cracking and crumbling when he pressed his lips to my forehead. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me snug against him. I hooked my arms around him and sobbed into his chest. His hands rubbed comforting circles on my back. He let me cry for a while. I’m not sure how long we stood there, but it was a long time.

I didn’t fear Will would break my heart. I knew him well enough. He would handle it with so much care. He already had it entirely anyway, he just didn’t know. But I couldn’t dare tell him I loved him. I take great care of this beating bleeding muscle—but I would break my own heart for him if it meant I didn’t lose him.

Zeb had been looking for Kallus among the celebrating rebels on Endor for hours. Even Rex, who'd agreed to keep track of him if he could, hadn't seen him since the final battle began. He'd resorted to walking around the last place Rex saw Kallus in an ever-widening spiral as darkness fell over the forest with his bo-rifle's electrified tip lit, listening and sniffing for any sign--

There. Kallus's signature scent wafted to him under a much stronger smell of human blood. Zeb turned toward it and pushed through the undergrowth as fast as he could. "Kal?  Where are you?" Birds screeched in the trees and small creatures scattered around Zeb's feet, but he didn't hear anything from Kal.

He burst into a circular patch of crushed plants. Zeb raised his lit bo-rifle higher. More patches like this one formed a trail toward the shield generator bunker. Walker tracks.

Kallus lay near the edge of one of them, watching Zeb. One too-pale cheek pressed against the forest floor. Tear tracks shone on the other one, through a layer of dirt. His legs, in the walker's path, were a gory mess.

Zeb ran to him, jammed the bo-rifle's unlit end into the earth, and knelt beside him. He reached for him, but what if Kallus's spine was broken? Zeb couldn't bear the thought of making such awful injuries worse. "Kal..."

Kallus reached to take one of Zeb's hands in his own. The effort made him wince, but his grip was still strong. "Zeb." His voice was hoarse, like he'd been calling for help for hours and nobody heard him. "Did we win?"

"Yeah, we won, we did it, Kal." The strain in Kallus's face eased at that.

Zeb forced himself to look at the mess of Kallus's legs. The walker's foot must've hit the back of Kallus's thigh first, tearing his pantleg there and knocking him down before... "Karabast." Every bone and muscle in his legs was ruined. Zeb had to look back to Kallus's face to quell a wave of nausea.

"Don't... Just... Lie here with me, for..." Kallus swallowed audibly. "For however long I have left."

Zeb squeezed Kallus's hand. "You've lasted this long." His voice was surprisingly steady, for how hard his heart was pounding in panic. "You'll be fine until I come back with help." Please, please be fine.

Kallus rolled his eyes, though he was smiling while he did it. "I feel lucky to have lasted long enough to see you."

The tube of bacta gel in Zeb's pocket wouldn't even make a dent in all the damage to Kallus's legs. He hadn't even brought any water. After losing so much blood, Kallus must be desperately thirsty. As hard as it would be to leave him alone like this, if Zeb stayed, he couldn't do anything to save him.

"Kal, I have to go get help. And you're gonna wait until I come back with it. You'll be right here when I come back." It was supposed to be an order. Zeb wished gathering tears hadn't cracked his voice in the middle of it.

Kallus's nod dragged the side of his face against the dirt. He still hadn't managed to lift his head. One more tear rolled over his nose and onto the ground, but his expression showed the determination to do right that drew Zeb to him every time, since Bahryn. "I'll be here," Kallus said.

It hurt Zeb's heart to turn his back. But that was the only hard part. Once he did it, he ran faster than he'd run in years. He would bring Kallus help in time. He'd do it, or run his heart down trying.

was it worth it? was she worth this?

if my wishes came true, it would've been you

you know damn well for you i would ruin myself

slept next to her, but i dreamt of you all summer long

writing prompts! cosmo sheldrake lyrics edition

I imagined these as fic titles, but do what you wish with them, obviously.

why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne?

if I want to be rich I've got to find my soul, all before I fall asleep

april's dew becomes autumn's wine

when the bell tolls it tolls for me

let's weave a little house out of dreams

leave a hole so we can let the stars in

don't let moments pass along and waste before your eyes

there's no such thing as time to kill or time to throw away

so rot, ferment, and decompose

plan poems in the barren ground

eat your words, the first and third should taste of you

more haste less speed, like an oak tree

one day when the night had come too soon

young man, I think you're dying

out of his grave grew a red rose

I dreamt of whales

can you hear that inland sea, its slow explosion?

becoming lichens of our own minds

lay your head where my heart used to be

don't say goodbye to me, describe the skies to me

I'll march for years on end, and time befriend

I swam lonely in my dreams

I am the day and the day will break

we can all learn things, both many and a-few

dreams ran alongside and let me pass by

this one's for you, @bardicbeetle
