I am tipsy rn, but I am just hooked on the clone wings au I've seen <3
Jango himself didn't have wings, maybe it skipped a generation
So when he sees the clones are born with them, he totally doesn't cry in his quarters in joy. Boba has wings, and Jango teaches what he can about wing care to the clones as much as he can
No matter what they try, the Kaminoans can't get rid of whatever is causing the wings to be formed, only managing to net a few clones over the years to be born without them
- said wingless clones are snapped up by Alpha-17, who makes sure they don't end up as test subjects or worse. He's missing a wing himself due to a longneck, so they don't bother fighting against the admittedly terrifying clone. Most of them become aquatic soldiers or various troops where wings would be a detriment
-- a lot of the wingless feel left out, but whenever they're around other clones for missions/downtime, they're usually given the honor to help care for the wings, and it's always a battle to see who can get one of them before their other brothers (bc no clone would ever hate another, I don't care what BB says >:(
The armor for the wings was not factored in, so the first Gen cobble together a prototype that is soon refined once it's proven they need the extra protection
the Jedi don't really know what to make of it at first, but the wings don't seem to impede their fighting abilities, so it's just brushed off
in fact, the wings help save more lives (bc a lot of clones die by falling like wtf)
it's considered a right of passage to be invited to help tend to each other's wings in their downtime
Those that are split from their batchmates/lose their squads have their feathers usually matted and tangled until they integrate and find someone they trust, and if they haven't, a medic will step in and force them to be tended to
Kix personally has the highest number of troopers he's had to sedate for wing care, and is quite pleased with himself
When Marshal Commander Cody haphazardly curls a wing around Obi-Wan during a briefing one day, the news spreads within the GAR by the end of the rotation (said commander is embarrassed, and Obi-Wan has to fight to urge to ask him to do it again)
It becomes a game to see who can do the same with their Jetti without their noticing, but the Jedi already know about this "game" and place their own bets on which of their troopers manage
Thoughts <3
And now, Im going to pass out

Ok so, idea. Damian says ‘i love you’ as a sort of goodbye/thank you. Like for example “This evidence will prove very useful on this case, I love you Todd.” or “this photo of Titus is most adequate Drake, I shall have enough to start drawing. I love you.” or “The meal was most delicious Pennyworth, I love you.” And everyone coos and is like “aww.” even jason and they look at dick because like obviously dick taught damian that, hes the golden child, the one damian looks up to the most, the most affectionate one…
But the truth is, Damian learned it from Bruce. Damian is there when Bruce calls his other kids, he hears Bruce go “I love you.” As a goodbye the second after the child at the other end hangs up. He hears Bruce say ‘i love you’ to alfred, quietly, when hes patching him up after a mission, hears the frantic ‘i love you’s’ after someone gets hurt on patrol, and he thinks thats how its done. But Bruce seems to think the same as everyone else, that he got it from Dick, and Dick looks so pleased, Damian decided not to correct them. Besides, who do they think Dick got it from?
