#we’ll probably get Ahsoka too

[risingthroughthestars]

…I’ve been good at not buying pops lately…unless they’re a SW lady then they’re mine

[illuminatedquill]

Well, that was certainly a finale.

Initial thoughts below (SPOILERS AHEAD):

Ahsoka 1x08:

THE JEDI, THE WITCH, AND THE WARLORD

I’m a bundle of many emotions but first -

Look, nothing’s over. Okay? Filoni is clearly playing a long game here with these characters. So let’s all calm down and wait for the next season.

There was simply too much to show in this final episode for it to be satisfying on every front. I think, for the most part, he succeeded in ending this first season and setting up What Comes Next.

But I do feel like some of the character stuff was resolved a little too neatly, in my opinion.

There’s such potential in these relationships and I feel like Filoni was laser focused on getting the groundwork laid down for the future. And it’s Big.

(THE MORTIS GODS ON PERIDEA. ANAKIN FORCE GHOST. I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW IT.)

I’m not 100% pleased with where Sabine ended up and the fact that she just irrevocably altered the fabric of her home galaxy due to her decision seemed to have been glossed over by Ahsoka and STILL not found out by Ezra.

I mean, there’s HUGE ramifications from what she did. And I’m worried that none of it will be played out to it’s proper devastating conclusion.

Yet, I’m willing to let it slide because it’s clear that there will be more. So, we just have to wait.

Also, the exploration of why Sabine made her choice was never addressed. At least, not in a way that was satisfactory to me. Again, I’m hoping that’s explored in the future . . . but I don’t know.

Even Thrawn was confused about her decision! He couldn’t understand it. And this is Thrawn we’re talking about.

How can you not interpret everything Sabine did in this season as being driven by something more than just friendship. Even the casual fans picked up on it.

(It’s me! I’m the casual fan. Didn’t ship it before and then I saw the first Ahsoka trailer and it suddenly clicked.)

She officially cemented her place in the Disaster Lineage when she made the choice to hand over the map to Baylan! Gambled the fate of an entire galaxy just for the chance to see Ezra again!

That’s peak romance! Literally have not seen a character’s choice forever alter the future on a galactic scale of this magnitude since the main man, Anakin Skywalker, himself!

All for love!

And, yeah, I know the Wolfwren fans are pleased with Shin also being on Peridea. I know Filoni is on the record being against an Ezra/Sabine romance (at least during Rebels, which made sense at the time to me) but I don’t see that pairing being a thing.

We’ve gotten prime examples of healthy, loving, supportive romance from him: Sabine’s parents, Kanan and Hera, Ezra’s parents.

Shin would need to mellow out her murderous nature by 100% to be friends with Sabine. If that happens, I would be cool with it.

Don’t see her doing that anytime soon with her last scene being that. She’s too power hungry.

Other thoughts:

Fantastic battle scenes - highlight being the final duel between Morgan and Ashoka. She went out like a fighter.

Thrawn was excellent, as always. Lars Mikkelsen was born to play this role. His cold, calculating menace is balanced perfectly by some flickers of emotion here and there; the regret when he asked Morgan to stay and his annoyance at Ahsoka escaping his hellfire.

Eman is Ezra. Fantastic casting.

As for Natasha as Sabine . . .

I want more from her. Just more of her as Sabine, forever and always. Still my favorite character on the show. I think there’s more emotional depths to be explored (LIKE HER FEELINGS FOR EZRA) but I’m putting that on Filoni.

(. . . This post is a mess. Sorry for rambling. I’m sure a lot of you feel the same.)

Just want to emphasize that it’ll probably be fine. Nothing’s been decided, one way or the other. And the success of this season should hopefully guarantee more of these beloved characters on our screens soon enough.

And, well, there’s nothing a good fanfic can’t fix. I expect we’ll be seeing plenty of those after this.

Ahsoka ep 5. (Involves cursing and spoilers. Not necessarily in that order)

Did I say I love music in this series?

Last week I was talking with my dad and explained what was happening in the series and he asked if Ahsoka Hera and the team will use Pergills to find their way to Ezra and Thrawn. Not a bad idea…

Even more Jacen!!! Yay😍😍😍

I totally forgot to notice it earlier bur he has his dad’s… arm thing.

Huyang with Sabine’s helmet 😭. And how he tild them to stay together. He was so sad😭😭😭

Ahsoka has this thing with crossing her arms.

Anakin gives me uneasy feeling.

What does “finishing her training “ means?

Wait, live or die? Really? Well, that was quite… obvious.

Jacen knows something. I mean, why would he sit at the edge of the cliff?

I love how Huyang is half right half wrong.😂

Hera, listen to your baby!!!! He knows something!!!!!

And she listens! Or at least tries to. I love this duo.

Wait… Jacen hears what is happening on “the other side”???? I love that boy😭😭😭😍😍😍(and he made me cry!!!)

Carson: what am I missing? What just happened?

Huyang: Jacen has abilities. His father, Kanan Jarrus, was a jedi.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 (that was literally my reaction to this conversation)

Carson: okay, we better get on it then.

You mention jedi, they listen 😂

But still, why did Hera leave Jacen and Chopper alone ot there? What if some kind of beast appears? Or whatever?

Ahsoka- falls down through the clouds.

Me: don’t tell me there will be younger Soka?

Younger Ahsoka- appears.

Me: oh, she’s cute😂

Nice training btw… well, dealing with your past is almost never easy.

Was that a random clone she sat next to? Probably yeah. Sad.

The talk with anakin, right after that… isn’t this a real dialogue from Clone wars? Or at least part of it? When they tried to get through the blocade to Ryloth? (I was watching this ep few days ago)

I knew there was something wrong!!! Vader is there! Be careful Snips!!!

I do love Huyang talking about Ahsoka and Ani. 😂

What did Chopper sense? Maybe a Pergill?

Oh, Siege of Mandalore? Just great.

Ani is dark. Is that a darke side tempting her?

Yup. Red lightsaber. But it’s not temptation… a test? Maybe.

I do love seeing more Vader side of Anakin. Although it pains me. (Btw idk how about the rest of you guys, but I had a feeling since the previous episode that we’ll see him today)

Yay, Ani is Ani again!!!!

No, he disappeared.

Haha, Ahsoka was just floating under the water. I should’ve known.😂

Jacen’s face when he saw the Ghost coming back with Ahsoka😍. I love this boy.

Jacen wants a lightaber. Of course he does.

Learning the past through touching objects? I didn’t know Ahsoka could do that.

I think she’s disappointed. At least a lil bit.

Ouch, Hera is in trouble. I hope she’s gonna be fine. (I hate most of thise politicians, did I mention that?)

Soka saw Pergills!!!!!!

Hey, you fucking senators, Hera is the general. End of discussion.

Why do I have a feeling me and my pa were right about the Pergills?😂

I love our big, soace Whales. (I need an amoji for them😂)

Dang, that Pergill is huge!!!!

Carson: I respectfully disagree.

My translation: Go fuck yourself you idiots.

So Ahsoka is gonna pull Jonah’s trick. (Now which story am I talking about? Who’s gonna tell me?)

Although I wish Hera went too. (And I do hope we’ll still se her in next episodes.)

This episode made me more emotional than I wish it did. (Especially because there was a lot of Jacen. Yes, Imma keep talking about this baby boi. And because we have more Pergills)

[cxbin-pxrsephone]

As someone who isn’t really in the Star Wars fandom anymore but still likes Star Wars content (and was a hugeeee rebels fan in its hay day), here’s some of my hopes, headcanons and Thoughts for Ahsoka. These mainly have to do with Jacen tbh

- Jacen’s hair is dyed, I’m not sure how genetics work, like at all, but I feel like he would naturally have brown hair like Kanan and maybe that’s the reason he had brown hair in the Lego set, I would think Sabine dies it for him so he can look more like his mom, I think the only trait we see from Hera is more so the green tips of his ears which haven’t been shown yet in live action. Honestly I don’t really mind if it’s not, I mainly just think having Sabine mention dying his hair would be adorable.

- I’d like to think Ezra maybe didn’t know about Jacen or that Hera was pregnant, it would just be interesting to see him be just as surprised about his existence as the rest of the rebels fandom when the finale first aired (because I literally fell of the couch when I saw him, nothing could’ve prepared me for that) it would be super emotional regardless of if he knew about him or not because either way they’ve still never met, and I’m sure Jacen has heard lots about Ezra and would love to meet him irl for the first time

- Zeb and Kallus. That’s it that’s all I need. Like I would love to see Kallus in live action and it would be great to see Zeb again, hopefully with him. I need to know how their honeymoon went on Lira San.

- A kanan reference. A direct Kanan reference. Please. I beg. It’s only been three episodes so there’s certainly still more time and I can understand why he hasn’t been brought up yet, but I’m sure he will at least once

- more disaster lineage from Sabine, obviously her and Ashoka’s relationship is developing and getting better but Anakin/ Ashoka never stopped causing chaos with their masters regardless of how they’d grown, so why should Sabine?

- I need Ashoka’s happiness, please. Her being more stoic and closed off makes a lot of sense given what’s she’s been through, I don’t really see it as ‘out of character’ because like. She’s seen a lot, she’s been through a lot, she’s dealt with a lot, and she’s just not a teenager/young adult anymore, I can see why she is the way she is now, plus there’s over half a decade we didn’t see of her life (that I know of), there’s a lot we don’t know that I hope is explored but even so, It would be nice to see her be happier again even if it’s over something small, we’ll probably get it when her and Sabine find Ezra.

- a Rex appearance! I’ll even take a reference, since it said in the rebel’s epilogue that he survived it would be great to see him as well or at the very least have him mentioned

- I really hope that Ezra doesn’t just show up at the very end, that he’s at least in one full episode. It’s been five years since the Finale and there’s been like, almost no sign as to where he’s been or how he’s been doing since the finale until now so it would be even more painful to have him only show up at the very end and then have to wait even longer for more on him besides the fact that he’d be alive.

- The wren family, correct me if I’m wrong but they weren’t in The Mandalorian? I think? Again I could be wrong I don’t pay that much attention, but if they weren’t in it I wonder where they could be, and if something did happen to them and if so maybe Sabine would mention it or they could have an appearance at some point too, although I really doubt it tbh, it would just be a nice addition also I just wanna see Tristan in live action

( edit, spoiler for episode 4: well. Probably not gonna have that last one 😭😭😭)

Angstpril Day 22

Drained

Spoiler: This is an excerpt from The Sith Strike Back

“We’ll find him again,” Rex says, touching his arm. “I think you should get some rest, General.”

Is how drained he is that obvious?

Probably shouldn’t be surprised about that. He hasn’t slept at all since he came to the past and that’s not counting how exhausted his body from this timeline probably already was. He’s also perpeutatelly exhausted as Vader and he’s sure of that mental exhaustion transferred over, too.

He doesn’t remember the last time he felt this drained, but he never gets the opportunity to rest. That’s why he always tries to keep pushing himself forwards, no matter how much he wants to drop because once he stops moving, he never wants to start again.

But between all the simulations he’s getting from being out of the suit for the first time in two decades and the sheer enormity of the emotion he’s struggling at dealing with from being in the past again, it’s taking a toll.

Maybe that is why he was able to lose to Maul so easily.

…Fine.

“I will,” Vader gives in reluctantly, “But call me the moment something happens. You cannot face Maul alone.”

Rex nods, though Vader is pretty sure the concern in his gaze is far more about Vader than it is about whatever Maul could do.

He doesn’t know what to think about that in the slghtes.t No one is like that anymore. Why would they be?

But… Rex is. He always has been. And way inside, Vader doesn’t think that would change no matter what Rex found out about what he’s done. He can’t say the same about anyone else, not even Ahsoka.

So maybe he lingers near Rex a bit longer than he needs to, as they head out of the tunnel system and back to somewhere he actually can rest.

I hope I’m not misremembering this, my memory is a sieve😅 — but I think I followed you for Bosoka? If so, could I suggest 23 or 30 or 41 or anything really (those are all 🤩 prompts) for them? No pressure or anything.

I would go ahead and say you probably followed me for Bosoka :) thank you for the prompt! Going with 30 (under the cut)

Send me a prompt and a ship

30. In a dark, dark wood there was a dark, dark house and in that dark, dark house I think we should get drunk and fool around. (I want dirt under my fingernails.)

Rating: T (Language, alcohol consumption)

“Where are we?” Ahsoka looked up at the trees, towering far over them, and blotting out any hope of light from the stars in the sky or the moons orbiting in the planet.

Bo-Katan stood with her back to her, reaching out towards the grimy handle of the door. She stopped and looked over her shoulder, expression unreadable behind the helmet. “We’re waiting.” The door slid open with a pained creak and they both stepped inside the dark cabin.

They were waiting for a call from one of their contacts, telling them where to go next, and in the mean time had been ordered to the nearest safe house. She followed Bo-Katan in and watched her kneel in front of the cold and empty fireplace, stack a few pieces of wood, and produced a small matchbox, lighting a small fire in the hearth.

Ahsoka sank to the ground in front of it, crossing her legs as she sat beside Bo-Katan, and rubbing her hands together, hungrily absorbing the warmth from the flames. They didn’t say anything for a moment, but their knees brushed together as they both spent a few minutes warming up. After another moment passed, Bo-Katan began stripping off her armor piece-by-piece and setting it aside until she was just left in her black flight suit.

“I’m sorry things didn’t pan out like you expected.” Ahsoka frowned at her. “I know you were hoping for a lead on Gideon.”

She sighed, shook her head wearily. “I should just expect disappoint.” Her smile was slim, sarcastic.

“That’s not true.” Ahsoka shuffled closer so their shoulders were touching. “We’ll get a lift out of here.”

Bo-Katan nodded, wordlessly, and sighed. “Do you want a drink?” She asked after a long moment.

“A drink? Where would we even—“ she stopped, watched her pull a flask out of one of the pockets on her belt.

She gestured with the flask, unscrewed the lid with flair, tossed it aside, and took a long drink before passing it to Ahsoka. She took the cool metal container from her without complaint and took a sip, the liquid burning its way down her throat and through her chest. She passed the flask back to Bo-Katan and continued to lean against her and they passed the small container back and forth for a few minutes silently until it was empty.

“It was a long fucking day.” Bo-Katan said after a moment. She seemed to hesitate for a beat before leaning her head on her shoulder. Ahsoka tipped her head to the side and rested it on top of Bo-Katan’s.

“Yeah. It was.” Ahsoka agreed quietly. She could feel the malcontent with the situation rolling off of Bo-Katan. “You’ll find him.”

“Will I?”

“I’m sure of it.”

They sat next to each other quietly watching the fire, slowly absorbing its warmth for a couple more minutes. It wasn’t often that the two of them got time alone, away from everything, even if they were only waiting for further instructions. It wasn’t often that they were able to take such a reprieve. It seemed that Bo-Katan’s thoughts headed in the same direction as she pulled her head away from her shoulder and they turned to look at each other.

“Glad to have the time with you, though.” Bo-Katan traced the underside of her jaw lightly.

“Yeah,” Ahsoka breathed. She caught Bo-Katan’s other hand with her own, laced their fingers together. “Me too.”

They couldn’t seem to catch a lead. Or a break. No matter what they did, it always seemed to come to a dead end when looking for ex-ISB whether it be Gideon or Thrawn. At least I have some time with you in the middle of it all.

“Ahsoka,” Bo-Katan tugged her closer, pressed their foreheads together. “I am glad to have you here, though.”

“Yeah. Me too.” Her heart thudded unsteadily in her chest.

They stared at each other in the flickering light for a moment more before Ahsoka angled her head to the side and finally pressed a kiss to her lips, hungrily returned. They had some time, after all, tucked away in the woods where no one would find them.

The King, the Soldier, and the Spy: Chapter 9

Last chapter, folks! Read on AO3

-----------------------

The interior of Gardulla’s palace is cooler than most of the buildings on Tatooine. It means that when Jango watches Fulcrum shimmy into another painted-on dress the next night, this one deep red and faintly shimmering, it is followed with a rugger-fur stole. It’s far too hot for her to wear it on the trip from ship to building, but now that they’re already inside a climate-controlled space…

“See something you like?” she asks, meeting his eyes in the mirror.

“Always,” Jango tells her.

She grins, small and fleeting, and then goes to sit on the bed and pull on her boots. There’s a heel, but nothing too big, and probably that balance between thin enough to be a jabbing weapon and thick enough to actually support weight. The way she crosses her leg to get at the buckle on the straps pulls on the seam at the top of the slit, showing off enough of her leg that Jango just wants to get to his knees and press his face to it, clutch at the limb and wait for her to put her hands in his hair and drag him up once she’s decided he’s earned a kiss, or…

He has been told, mostly by Myles, that this is kind of weird.

Jango has resolved not to tell him anything more about the relationship he has with Fulcrum.

She stands and walks to him, slow and with a swing to her hips, painted lips curled into a smile. She looks like sin, and she’s his. She stops just inches away, looking down at him, and he knows he can’t kiss her, not when she’s just finished getting ready, not when she’s got on a glittery gloss that’ll smear the second he touches it, but he wants to. She dips forward to put her mouth by his ear, not quite touching.

“Say my name, ‘alor.”

“Ahsoka,” he whispers almost against her montrals. If he touches, his face will doubtlessly get gold dust on it, and they can’t afford that now.

She pulls away, smiling in that smug way that wraps around his heart and yanks, and he realizes that his hands are on her hips only when he reflexively squeezes at the expression.

“I’ll have my wicked way to you when we’re done,” she promises, reaching up and gripping his chin to rub a thumb against his bottom lip. “Maybe we’ll even invite ourselves a guest, hm?”

He nips at her finger, just to see her laugh, and pulls his helmet back on. “Conflict of interest.”

“Oh, he won’t mind,” Fulcrum muses. “Goodness knows we’re reaching the end of his time with us. Rank won’t be a problem, soon.”

“Hm,” Jango says. He has nothing to add to that. Instead, he asks, “any progress on your pet project?”

“Yes,” she says, slipping her hand into his offered elbow. “Now, shall we?”

--

Three days in, their systems, slices, and strategically-placed droids are ready, and they spring their trap.

Jango knows he has some of the best slicers alive on his staff, but there’s something painfully gratifying about watching Gardulla attempt to explode one of her slaves, only to fine that the detonator doesn’t work.

Nor does the detonator for the next slave over.

None of them do.

The virus is being spread by droids, small and unobtrusive, all pulsing out a permanent deactivation, and complex enough to deconstruct different brands of that deactivation as necessary. He doubts they’re going to get the entire planet like this, but the major cities are already being burned through.

(Not Jabba’s, yet, but they’ll get him once they’re done here.)

Gardulla’s death is not a quick or clean one. It is performed at the hands of one of her slaves, a Zabrak with a wild look in his eyes, who’s wrestled a blaster away from one of the Hutt’s bodyguards. The shots don’t go to critical spots immediately, but none of the lowest slaves are stopping him. Gardulla dies bit by bit, from a dozen wounds that get closer and closer to her head before someone gets another blaster and makes the final kill shot.

And then they shoot a few times more.

(All those slaves who’ve dragged themselves to positions of power, who think to save the Hutt, are held back and away by those who have loyalty to breakers of chains, rather than makers of them.)

He stalks behind Fulcrum as she traverses the room, a hand on his blaster and a threat in his stride. As she drifts, she gives the slightest orders with twitches of her hand; the ‘hired’ Mandalorians they’ve brought, untraceable by the Hutts, spread out and deal with what needs dealing.

“Next up, Jabba,” Vos mutters, and Jango sees him rub the back of his neck as he watches the room. The padawan’s not quite in character anymore, but that’s easily fixed. Jango doesn’t even have to say much, with the role he’s been playing.

“Clean-up’s yours,” he grunts.

Vos darts a look at him, brow furrowed. “What?”

“Planet’s going to need help,” Jango says. He doesn’t roll his eyes, because with his luck, Vos would sense it even through the beskar. “You’re the one with the datapad and contacts, kid.”

Vos takes a moment to process, and then with the slightest twitch in the direction of furrowing brows, the implicit suggestion is picked up.

Call in the Jedi. Mandalore can’t handle this long enough to protect the planet from Hutts returning, not when it’s on the other side of the galaxy. With the slaves already freed and the Hutts already dead, the Republic can take in the planet with less fussing than they usually have about Hutt space, and finally push in the border from Rodia.

Fulcrum’s voice pitches high from a few feet away.

“Hello, little one. Oh, you’re adorable. You’re Ani, aren’t you?“

Shadow Warrior & Narrative Choices

I’m so conflicted about this episode that it hurts. I probably should’ve live-blogged my thoughts because I really did enjoy this episode until I realised it was halfway done and the story actually hadn’t progressed anywhere yet.

I never have issues with character building and development in stories and I know that takes time. However I have an issue with it when it completely stalls the story.

I know this is really hypocritical for me to say, like why am I complaining that Ahsoka’s backstory was explored and her trauma explained? It’s because we’re five episodes in and we haven’t seen Thrawn yet.

This narrative started off very strong and it seemed to be pretty well paced (except episode three). I think we were all expecting to actually get to the other galaxy by the end of episode 4 but now we’ll be there by episode 6. That gives Thrawn three episodes to be the massively impactful force that he deserves to be, three episodes for Baylan to be properly explained and then defeated, and three episodes for Sabine, Ezra and Hera to all reunite and get over their issues (not to mention Ahsoka’s relationship with Sabine as well).

Because while I loved seeing Hayden again, while I thought the cinematography was amazing, how am I supposed to care about live action Siege of Mandalore if it means that the narrative only focuses on that, and only that, for a whole 50 minutes.

Again, this is why I’m so conflicted. I’m so thankful that we got some good character writing for Ahsoka, but now I’m afraid the final three episodes are going to be rushed and messy.

And it’s getting harder and harder to ignore the fact that this show still hasn’t answered what Ahsoka did after Malachcor. What it was like to insert herself back into that timeline after being pulled from it. If she was alive during the span of the original trilogy, why didn’t she help the Rebellion during that time? What did she do for presumably 7 years before joining the New Republic?

Long story short, I appreciate what was done in this episode, and I liked a lot of its elements, but I think it’s too late in the story for that. Maybe if this show was ten episodes or longer I’d be fine with it, but I thought it was too reckless when considering the overall arc of the show. I’m also getting dangerously annoyed that despite Dave Filoni’s insistence on seeing Ahsoka at most stages in her life, there’s a black hole in her timeline. Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong next time. I really don’t want to dislike this show because I was having a fun time before.

doMAYstic: day 4

Prompt: First night Fandom: Star Wars Relationship: Obikin (gen/sfw) Words: 943 A/N: modern setting, written with my Obi-Wan & Anakin from Smoke Me and Never Quit Me in mind, but it's not necessary to have read that first; goes along with Days 1, 2, & 3 if you like

Move-in day had been long and arduous, then the storms came in right before they were nearly through emptying the truck. Then there were the few times their help wasn't so helpful, like when Rex dropped his end of the couch while he and Anakin were carrying it, or when Ahsoka tripped going up the stairs and sent a cascade of toiletries down the steps. A few times things got a bit harried and Anakin could see that Obi-Wan was attempting to keep a tight lid on his frustration… and Anakin began to wonder if this was such a good idea after all.

After being together for over a year, they had grown tired of the shuffle back and forth between their apartments – Obi-Wan’s dresser didn’t have enough room for his AND Anakin’s things, and he was personally tired of the leaky showerhead in Anakin’s apartment. So, after careful thought and consideration, he casually brought up the topic of moving in together one night over dinner. He had been slightly worried at the time, unsure if Anakin was still truly happy being with him, but it turned out he needn’t worry at all as Anakin jumped out of his seat and crashed into Obi-Wan’s lap and smothered him with kisses that tasted like mashed potatoes. 

But now as Anakin walked around upstairs, going from room to room looking at the mess they would need to unpack and set right, he wondered if Obi-Wan would regret it. 

He finally stopped in their room – their room – and looked at their bed. It was still just the box springs and the mattress sitting on the floor. Boxes were scattered and stacked near the walls, and piles of clothes were laying across the top of the new, larger still-empty dresser and laid over the armchair in the corner. He didn’t really know how they would sleep in here tonight, but he was tired enough that it probably didn’t matter. 

He ran a hand through his hair then startled when he felt a pair of strong warm arms wrap around his waist. He sighed and relaxed back into the embrace when Obi-Wan pressed a kiss to the bit of skin right behind his ear. 

“I’m afraid we’re out of time to unpack all this tonight,” Obi-Wan said as he rocked them gently. How could he have ever felt that Obi-Wan didn’t want this when he felt loved and protected like this?

He huffed a laugh, “I don’t know, I maybe have a few more moving hours in me.”

Obi-Wan pulled back, surprised, “Really?”

“No, Obi-Wan, I’m exhausted,” Anakin chuckled softly. 

Obi-Wan hummed, and Anakin felt the gentle vibration against his back. “Well then, I would like to go shower as I feel incredibly disgusting – why don’t you make the bed there as it is and we’ll get some much-needed rest?”

Obi-Wan finally pulled away, releasing Anakin from his grip and leaving him standing there as he disappeared again. Anakin wanted to find the energy to get ready for bed, but that required brushing his teeth, taking a shower, changing his clothes, when he felt like he could barely lift his arms. 

He distantly heard the water running in their new shower, and while he briefly thought about joining Obi-Wan, he found he didn’t even have the energy for that. Instead he walked towards the bed and fell face-first into the mattress, bouncing a couple of times before settling in. He grinned to himself, happy to finally lay down and rest on the comfy bed. 

#

Anakin slowly came to when he felt a warm hand gently carding through his hair. He blinked and turned his head to find Obi-Wan sitting next to him on the bed. 

“Hello, sleepy,” he said with a grin. 

Anakin groaned and turned over, wondering how long he had been asleep. He didn’t even remember falling asleep. He never went to sleep that quickly – that was a pretty good indication that he was too tired. He took in Obi-Wan’s appearance, he had changed into his pajamas and his hair was combed down but still wet from his shower. But he looked soft and inviting.

Anakin grinned sleepily, “C’mere, Obi-Wan.” He reached up and tugged lightly on his shirt. Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow but leaned down anyway, stopping mere centimeters from Anakin. 

“Are you going to get ready for bed? Or am I going to have to make up the bed and sleep alone?”

Anakin furrowed his brow, “On the first night in our new home?” He was offended that Obi-Wan would even think about suggesting it. 

Obi-Wan chuckled warmly then ran a gentle finger down Anakin’s temple then his cheek. “Well I'd rather not, but I did ask someone to make the bed, and it still looks like it did when we took it off the truck.” 

Anakin rolled his eyes good-naturedly and lifted his head slightly, “Give me a kiss and that will give me the strength I need to get up and make the bed.” Obi-Wan huffed and closed the last bit of distance, pressing a kiss to Anakin’s warm, soft lips. When Obi-Wan pulled away, Anakin grinned smugly. 

“I’ll make another deal with you…” Obi-Wan started then sat up again. “Go get ready, I’ll put the sheets on the bed, then we’ll crawl in and get comfy and go to sleep. Doesn’t that sound nice?’ 

“Mmmm…” Anakin hummed, sitting up and shuffling to the edge of the bed. He knew that was really no deal for Obi-Wan, but that was just who he was. He smiled and leaned over to press a kiss to the older man’s cheek. “That does sound nice.”

Coming Attractions!

Once again, I don’t have a whole lot of updates, alas. But this year is already looking more active, writing-wise, than last year, so I have high hopes!

Plug for my writing discord if you’d like to hang out--it’s pretty quiet, especially lately, but is more or less intended to be a more interactive extension of this blog.

Also, we’ll go ahead and do an open question night! Anything I’ve posted about here or on AO3 is fair game. My askbox is always open, but tonight I’m around and keeping at least a vague eye on it. I do take prompts, but I do not promise to fulfil them in a timely manner, lol.

Precipice!Verse

Probably won’t be out this month, especially since I really need to kick into gear on my BB project, but I have not abandoned it--I’ve put too much into this to abandon it, lol.

SWBB:

Based on feedback from my last question post, I am going to do something where Padme’s ship never landed on Tatooine (they got their repairs elsewhere, I guess) and Anakin and Ahsoka meet and have an Adventure during the Clone War. Specifics to be determined, but it’ll be a fun ride, I’m sure. XD

OTP Meme:

I am very proud of myself for getting all five done last month! And I know...more or less what I’m doing for four of the five for this month (figuring out the Specifics for one of those four, and as yet Undecided for the fifth). I’m really glad I decided to do this, it’s definitely getting me to get stuff out.

The Other Battlestar:

Still needs a better title; but I really do think I’ll get started posting this month (I know I keep saying that but shhh). Not a formal teaser, but because there are some Key OCs in order to make the plot work, so a little bit of info on them!

Vance Kimble - around fifty; actor; went to college with Wallace Gray; will take Baltar’s Politics storylines (which, within the bounds of how far I want to go here, means Caprica’s representative on the Quorum and eventually VP; but if I do change my mind and go past the Pegasus arc, he’ll also team up with Zarek to run for President)

Atia Reyes-Baltar - will take Baltar’s Science storylines (because there is no way to build someone who can do Both the way he does); also at least part of the reason he doesn’t end up on Boomer’s Raptor (because he’s looking for her, he takes a different route when he flees his house)

Daphne Reed - Senior Medical Officer on Pegasus. ...yep, not much else to say about her that doesn’t Give Things Away, lol.

Cornelius Felden - highest-ranking Marine officer on Pegasus (tentatively a Captain since who the fuck knows how Marine officer ranks work we have never seen a Marine commissioned officer); originally from Aerilon.

Simon O’Neill - no, not that one. Or that one. ...no, not that one, either. sorry I couldn’t resist Officially a pediatrician; part of the civilian fleet that Pegasus strips; gets drafted for his medical degree. ((also is there. like. a Convention for tagging Cylon OCs? Especially ones that use their model’s Shared Name?))

There’s an additional selectee for Daphne’s department but Simon is the important one; Ileana Fortuna (an old OC of mine, one of Zarek’s aides) may also make an appearance here and there but will probably not be Significant.

...I think that covers pretty much everything I have in the Immediate pipeline; but there are other things percolating on a more long-range timescale (actually doing a SW/BSG crossover; some of my other SW-alone projects, expanding on a couple of the AUs I’m building for the OTP meme fills, etc.) So...there it is! Relatively short update, like I said, lol.

Also, not writing, but I dug up some old BSG fanmixes I made my first time around in the fandom, and made some Comments about them on my personal blog, if you’re curious: Season 3 mix; Cylon ship mix; Baltar/Six mix.

Chapter 7: Matches

Masterlist | Previous | Next 

Notes

Mando'a: Mir’sheb= smartass (MEER-sheb) Twi'leki: Chod = shit

“Okay, so I haven’t met you yet.” Ari wiggled a finger in front of her toward a man with a large Republic symbol tattoo on his forehead as she sat down with a tray of food, “What’s your name? Do the other boys down there like you?” She jabbed a thumb down the table, smirking at the new person. 

“It’s Jesse. I sure hope they like me. They’re kinda stuck with me.”

Fives overheard him, “Nope! We hate him. He’s the absolute worst out of all of us.”

"I'm Ari. That might be a little debatable Fives. I think you could be the worst one..."

“Mir’sheb.” Jesse flipped Fives off. 

“Oh, shut up Jesse. You’re a smartass too. It's definitely him!” Fives chuckled. 

Hardcase slammed his hand on the table. “Rasha was talking more shit at lunch today, Ari!” He exclaimed, accidentally spitting food across the table onto Rasha in his excitement. He swallowed quickly and handed her another napkin, “oops, sorry… So, we’ve gotta see what these girls are made of, or at least what she’s made of. Rasha said she could beat our asses a few days ago too. I’d say she might be a little too confident, we may need to show them a thing or two. Yeah, we’ve seen her on the ground, but she was just running around putting bandages on everyone and shooting at a few droids!”

Fives and Echo sat back in their seats, smirking, knowing how they would fare after that rough ARC and minimal Jedi training the two went through.

Rasha rolled her eyes. “Oh, so you’re saying I should just leave you alone if you get shot out there then? Maybe I will.”

“Hey, don’t scare her off before anything starts!” Oz piped up, grinning. 

“I really don’t think any of you scare her.” Ari dramatically gestured at Rasha and rolled her eyes, “I can’t take you anywhere Rasha! You just wanna fight anyone and everyone! And you always end up as a mess!” 

“I didn’t start anything. They started giving me shit first both times! They were saying they might need to teach us how to fight, or at least something more than pulling hair or lekku and kneeing their crotches! And the mess wasn’t my fault!” Rasha teased them and gestured across the table to Hardcase, still wiping her shirt.

“Oh, well… when they say chod like that…” Ari raised an eyebrow, giving the group of men a cocky smirk, she got up when she finished eating. “Why don’t we just go right now? Or do the little boys need to give themselves a pep talk?” She walked out with Rasha close behind.

The girls sat, talking in the wrestling area of the training room by themselves joking and watching a few other groups wrestle. The floor was covered in a black mat with circles painted in various spots, and hooks hanging from the ceiling to hold the punching bags strewn along the padded walls.

“Hey, no sleeping now! You two challenged us, remember?” Hardcase boasted.

“Oh, shut up. You’re the ones that took forever. Long enough for us to at least try to take a nap. Did you need to psych yourselves up and grow some balls for it or something?” Rasha snickered.

“Hey! Do you guys mind if I join in? Skyguy, err, Master Skywalker is too busy to train with me tonight.” Ahsoka quickly made her way to the front of the group. When Rasha realized Ahsoka probably heard what she said, she quickly slapped her hand over her mouth.

“Hey! There’s a kid here. Watch your mouth Rasha!” Ari shoved her back down as she attempted to get up.

“It’s okay!” Ahsoka eagerly said, “I’ve been around all these guys for way too long not to have heard any of that.” The small Togruta turned, smiling.

Fives got everyone’s attention, “Alright, so we’ve got one, two, three, four… eight of us. Wow, that’s more than usual,” he chuckled, “personally, I like to have us write our names on some flimsi, drop it in one of our buckets, and draw randomly. But you two are the newbies, so we’ll let you decide this time.”

“Sounds good! Let’s get going!” Ari was already grabbing some to tear, giving everyone a piece.

“Okay, so who wants to draw first then?” Echo asked.

“I thought you knew your manners, Echo. Ladies first. And since she was running her mouth so much, maybe Rasha should go first,” Jesse added, elbowing Echo in the ribs.

Rasha’s ears turned red when everyone looked at her. She slowly reached in and grabbed a name once they took hers out.

“Well, who did you get?” Fives asked while still holding the helmet out to her.

Nervously, she announced, “uh… You, Fives…” Rasha looked into his eyes but quickly drew her gaze away, watching everyone else draw names.

Echo brushed off her nervousness. “Who wants to grab one next?”

Ari drew a name and announced who she got before she leaned in, and whispered, “Don’t beat your boyfriend up too bad now.”

“He’s not-” Rasha cut herself off quickly when everyone looked at her again, realizing she said that louder than she meant to and blushed even more from the attention. She looked over at Fives and saw him trying to hide a small blush with a smirk.

She leaned back over, “those looks weren’t too convincing.”

“He’s not though!” Rasha whispered back, trying to force herself to be quieter.

Oz started announcing the pairings. “So, it looks like it’s Ahsoka and Echo.” -Echo groaned- “Ari and Jesse, Rasha and Fives, and Me and Hardcase”

“Oz. You two should go first,” Rasha blurted out and dragged Ari away from the group once the two got started.

“Why are you bringing me over here? If you haven’t noticed, the match is over there.” She pointed her thumb over her shoulder, smirking.

“We both know he’s not my boyfriend. You would’ve been the first one I told!” She looked over to check on the match. Oz and Hardcase had just started wrestling on the ground.

“I know!” She turned around to watch it as well. “But just look at him! And look at you!” She looked her up and down with a raised eyebrow.

“What’s there to look at with him?! And with me?!”

Ari rolled her eyes, “I knew you had a thick ass skull but holy shit Rasha. You’re gonna give me grey hair and I don’t even have any!” She said, moving her purple lekku around. "And then, when you're not alone or hanging out with me, it's always you two!

Rasha started getting defensive, “what’s there to look at?! That's not true!”

"Just watch him during this training..." Ari watched the rest of the match ignoring Rasha.  

Getting up again, they went in slow circles around each other, throwing the occasional jab to throw the other off again. Both were breathing hard. Eventually, Hardcase grabbed Oz’s arm, pulling him forward. Oz escaped his grasp, elbowing him in the ribs. Once free, he lunged at Hardcases legs. He fell almost instantly, getting the wind knocked out of him but rolled just fast enough the avoid Oz’s elbow in his stomach again before getting on top of him. The two wrestled for a few more minutes until Hardcase pinned Oz to the ground, locking his arm behind his back; Hardcase won.

Ahsoka wanted to go next. Echo sighed as he begrudgingly went into the circle. He would attempt to try, knowing he'd lose. Rasha thought it was kind of funny how quickly his posture changed. Ahsoka didn’t give Echo the chance to throw jabs as the last two did. He was immediately on the defensive, blocking every attack she threw at him. He managed to grab her arm at one point, twisting it to a position that looked painful. She was able to get him to let go for a split second before swiping her leg against his ankles. Echo managed to grab her shoulder on the way down, pulling her with him. In the few seconds that she was caught off guard, he locked her arm behind her back and crawled on top of her. Somehow, Rasha didn’t see it, Ahsoka twisted herself underneath him enough to get her knee out and into his ribs, throwing him off. The rest of the match didn’t last long before Ahsoka had him in an uncomfortable, if not painful, position on the mat. She didn’t look like she even broke a sweat as she helped Echo up. He looked exhausted and out of breath. Now, it was between Ari and Rasha to decide who would go next. Ari jumped into the circle, leaving Rasha’s match with Fives last.

Jesse joked, “I’ll try not to hurt you too bad.”

“Promises, promises. Can’t say the same.” Ari shrugged.

They started slow until Jesse lunged at Ari as she quickly ducked under him, ramming her shoulder into his diaphragm, and shooting him backward. He clutched his chest, gasping for air. She started going slow again, being nice and waiting for him to recover some; she didn't want to be done so soon. He caught his breath, but not fast enough, as she got behind him, kicking him in the back of the knees, throwing him to the ground again. He rolled over in time to catch her ankle, pulling her to the mat next to him as he got on his knees, attempting to gain the upper hand. She tried grabbing his neck to drag him down again, but his hands shot straight for her wrists, pinning them down, while his knees squeezed her legs together, making her unable to move, she tapped out; Jesse won.

“I was so close, too! Damn it! I should've just pinned you after I rammed my shoulder into you...”

“Hey, you did good. Just gotta think about how much stronger we are than you before you go for your next move.” Jesse smacked her on the back lightly after pulling her up.

“I’ll get you next time.”

“Sure, you will.”

“Rasha and I know how to go against you guys, Jesse!” Ari quipped back, crossing her arms.

Rasha’s turn. She almost couldn’t move.

Why did it have to be Fives? I was talking a big game. Let’s hope I can hold myself up to it in front of the boys. I’ve gone against him before but that was while everyone was showing us some new stuff so we were all going easy. And now, I have an audience... Maybe I can use what I’ve watched and learned to my advantage.

He threw a few jabs, trying to catch her off guard, but not close enough to hit her, yet. He finally stepped closer, throwing a jab; she dodged, rolling to the other side of the circle, and getting behind him. He turned around, facing her again; she stepped closer, slipping under his punch in just enough time to grab his wrist and twist his arm. He gritted his teeth, pushing her off him to the ground with his free hand. He came down to grab her, attempting to pin at least one of her limbs; she rolled again, bringing her knee into his side as she stood up, pushing him over. Neither wanted to hurt the other, but both wanted to win, so the game of chase kept going.

Managing to get behind her, he brought her elbows up, and locked them behind her head; she knocked the back of her head into his chin, eyes watering. He took a couple of steps back but didn’t loosen his grip. She needed to think of something else quickly and brought her legs to her chest, slammed them to the ground, and shoved him back; that seemed to loosen his grip just enough for her to pull his head forward and move out of the way as he fell to the mat, hitting his hands and knees. She wasn’t quite strong enough to keep him down as he reached back for her arms and flipped her over. She landed hard, losing her breath, but brought her foot up to shove him in the shoulder, pushing him off balance. Finally, Rasha gained the upper hand long enough to put Fives into a chokehold. Both panting hard and sweating profusely, he tapped out; Rasha won before they decided to call it a tie.

That definitely wasn’t like any of those other fights…

Exhausted, she rolled off him onto her knees. When she found her balance, she turned to help Fives up. After looking back up, everyone was staring at Fives and Rasha. She started turning red from the attention again but would blame it on the amount of exercise she'd just had if anyone asked. Ari knew Rasha could fight against a lot of different opponents; the extra training helped prove that even more. She wasn’t prepared for what happened in that circle though and couldn’t place it, but she knew something did between them. She only gave her friend a blank stare while she attempted to figure it out. To them, it was just another match. Yes, one that lasted longer than they had expected, but still just more training. It wasn’t even the first time either were evenly matched like that. They didn’t see what the big deal was or why everyone was staring like that.

Rex broke the silence of the group with a slow clap, making a few jump, “I was coming down here to remind everyone that we’ll be arriving tomorrow. Glad you got some training in beforehand.”

“Tomorrow?” Ari and Rasha asked at the same time, looking at each other with wide eyes.

“Yes…? I thought you knew when we’d be there?”

“We did, sir, I just didn’t realize how long we’ve been in hyperspace already. I’ll get these boys up to the medbay to make sure nobody’s hurt too bad.” Ari managed to say between sips of water.

Let me know if you want to be added to a tag list for future posts!

Night out- Clones

Return to File

Recovery date: July 20th, 2022

Description: The clones head out for a well deserved night on the town.

“You want to join us, general?” Jesse grinned.

He was leaning to look over behind Kix, with his arm slung around Fives, as they discussed their plans for the night. It was rare they’d have shore leave, much less a free evening, so they were determined to enjoy it.

Anakin and Ahsoka were busy discussing the mission they just finished. They were standing a little away from the clones, Ahsoka was frowning as Anakin scolded her for being reckless. Like he was one to talk.

The two generals turned to their squad.

“Uh, sorry, I have… plans.”

Fives snickered, Jesse’s grin widened, and Kix’s shoulders began to shake as he turned to face the generals. Everyone under general Skywalker knew that plans meant seeing senator Amidala, and his awkwardness always made them laugh.

“I’m free.”

“Sorry kid,” Rex came up behind her and clasped her shoulder, “once you can legally drink we’ll take you out to 79s. Until then, we can go for caff tomorrow.”

“I’m going to hold you to that,” she grinned. 

“Don’t worry, Rex doesn’t really drink. Fives on the other hand…” Kix trailed off, a wide shit eating grin on his face. “OW!” Fives whacked him in the back of the head.

“I’ll take a video and show you tomorrow,” Echo offered before mumbling, “assuming he doesn’t get too out of control.”

“Besides,” Anakin rapped his knuckles on Ahsoka’s head, “you have paperwork.”

“And you don’t?”

“Would you look at that, Cody and the others’ll probably be on their way now. Goodbye generals!” 

Jesse and Rex dragged their brothers away from the bickering generals and out into the streets of coruscant. 

“I’m not that bad when I’m drunk, am I?” Fives asked as they got into a speeder.

“One time I had to stop you from fighting your own reflection,” Rex sighed. “Actually, no, that definitely happened more than once because there was also the time with the fountain.”

Fives covered his face and shrunk in on himself a bit, making his brothers laugh.

“Don’t worry, it only happens when you’re reaaalllyy drunk,” Echo smiled. “At least you're not a complete asshole, unlike some people.”

“I hate to talk bad about our brothers,” kix rested his arm on the back of one of the seats to turn to his brothers, “but some of them are real nasty when drunk.”

They all nodded somewhat solemnly in agreement, sitting in silence for the rest of the ride.

When they got out at 79s, they thanked the driver and tipped him nicely. It wasn’t like they had much chance to spend their credits anyways.

“Cody here yet?”

Rex shrugged.

“We can head in and look for him, if he’s not here I’ll comm him.”

“Hey kix, wanna go get free drinks?”

Kix sighed, “if you lose and we have to buy another group drinks i’m going to make your next patch up sting.”

“Oh come on, it’ll be fine. Now, let’s head in!”

Angstober Day 3

A Dangerous Gamble

Spoiler: This is an excerpt from Sea Shadow

“Jar Jar,” Anakin interrupts, expression tight, “That’s good enough. That should be all we need to know.”

“It is?” Ahsoka objects, looking up at him, even if she looks just as skittish as Rex is feeling.

Anakin shakes his head, laying a hand on Jar Jar’s shoulder again. “Stay inside and get some rest,” he tells him, “We’ll take care of it.”

The Gungan gives in, a little reluctantly, and Anakin motions for them to follow back outside.

“Something about this isn’t… natural,” Anakin begins, hesitantly, gaze lingering on General Kenobi, as though seeking his agreement. He does that sometimes; it’s not something Rex really understands. “For some reason, the Force was warning against him finishing the description.”

“I sensed it, too,” he admits.

“Something seemed weird, when he was describing it. Like… something in the air,” Ahsoka admits, nervously. “I thought it was just me.” It makes something protective swell up inside of him, because she’s their kid – he and Anakin’s. He’s tried to help Anakin take care of her, from the moment they first got her. And he… never had much an idea what he was doing, but Anakin did, or at least… somewhat did, and it worked out eventually.

“It’s not,” Anakin replies, obviously on edge. And if the General is this on edge about an animal, Rex doesn’t know what kind of creature this could even be.

“How are we supposed to locate it?” Rex objects. He doesn’t understand these Force things, but he doesn’t doubt Anakin knows what he’s talking about.

“If it’s already come back a couple times, we should prepare our defenses and wait for it to return,” General Kenobi advises, crossing his arms. “It could be anywhere out there. We have no way of pinpointing its location.”

It’s… probably their best shot, even if Rex doesn’t want to sit around when this creature is on the loose. “Should I call in the boys?” he asks.
