Jungkook
𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Pull Me Closer
Tumblr media
Every year, he joins the old tradition of traveling, where his ancestors have once ruled the skies. Every year, he meets familiar faces and new ones he's never seen before. Every year, he watches how his brothers find their mates, build their families, and introduce new generations to stories as old as time. But this year, something might be different. This year, there's you - a treasure worth more than he could ever offer.
Tags/Warnings: Dragon!Jungkook, strangers to lovers/mates, mentions of folklore and traditions, modern fantasy, romance, human?Reader, Fluff, Courting, MC kinda wary of kook at first, but he's cute give him a chance pls
Additional Chapter Warnings: tensioooon, the hunt is near, some steamy action that made me hit my desk
Length: short, tumblr hates long evocation updates for some reason
A/N: There is no taglist. I continue to force you to eat the dragon!kook meal, so you better finish your plate or there wont be any dessert. Also there is no taglist.

It's hot this year.
You're usually not this bold with your choice of clothing, but the heat pretty much forces you to dress a bit more revealing as to not overheat- simply summer dress and underwear already feeling as if it's too much under the blazing sun. It makes most dragonkins laze around and bathe in the warmth of the giant star up in the sky, soaking up the sunlight as if they're some cold-blooded lizard recharging their energy and upping their body temperature.
It's funny how some instincts never leave, even if your body isn't the same anymore.
According to legends and some research, dragonkin had been, at some point, actual dragons- their blood slowly becoming less and less pure as they began to fall in love with the human kind. Their bodies changed, becoming less distinguishable from one another, as nowadays, only little hints remain in their visual appearance. It's honestly best seen in Jungkook, as you watch him push his hair back out of his eyes, beads of sweat rolling down the side of his face. He's tall, muscular but not too much so, with sharp eyes and traditional ink underneath the skin of his arm. It's not too different from a regular human- it's more so the way he carries himself, the way his instincts seem to lead him.
And yes- he's also got that very distinctive spot on the back of his neck- similar to you, and all of the other dragonkin around.
It's called a dragon's burn- a story as old as time saying that it's the soul of the last living dragon-mother burning her mark into the skin of a newborn, so she can still find her children amongst the humans. And while there's no actual proof or rather explanation from science as to why this mark appears or how it forms, its also said to determine one's personality and future, depending on it's shape, size, and position.
You've got your eyes closed as you soak up the sun as well now- dragonkin practically immune to sunburns, which is another thing that's still being researched. You're softly swinging from side to side in the hammock, one leg dangling out when you notice steps coming closer. By now, you're not worried about it anymore- it can really only be one person seeking you out.
He's not talked to you since you'd offered him the bracelet- you wonder if he still wears it.
There's a hand around your ankle, and your eyes open at that as you watch him, his gaze on you. He's looking at you a little differently today- not so bold anymore, not as fierce as usual. There's a certain softness to his eyes that you've not seen before- but you feel oddly comforted by it, as his fingers run over the soft skin of your leg. It's now that you notice the bracelet still hanging around his wrist, securely tied as if he didn't even think about how to open that knot ever again.
Maybe because he really doesn't intend to do so.
"You make me want to join you." He chuckles, watching as you stretch your arms above your head before relaxing again.
"I doubt the hammock can hold both of our weights." You respond, and he grins.
"If Yoongi and his mate can have sex on this thing, I'm sure it can handle us both simply cuddling on it." he comments, and at that you shoot upright into a sitting position.
"On this thing?!" you ask, scandalized, and he can't help but laugh openly about your face full of shock. It's a nice laugh- it's free, open, honest. You like it.
"I don't think it was this specific one." He reassures. "Or maybe. They probably cleaned it though, don't worry." He says, before he holds onto it, making you lean back as to not be forced too close to him.
"I- did not agree to the cuddling part though.." You stammer as he climbs in without really asking any further, moving around and boldly using his strength to push and move you into a comfortable position in his arms- and despite your vocal protest, you can't help but scoot a little bit closer than he'd placed you, leaning halfway on his body as he chuckles.
"Well it sure doesn't feel like you're too upset over it though." He offers, and you're quiet- because you're not sure what to say. It takes a moment or two before you point towards the bracelet around his wrist- his hand on his chest close to you as you tap one of the wooden beads.
"M' sorry about that one, by the way." You mumble disappointed.
"Why?" He asks, genuine surprise in his voice. "Did you not want to give it to me?" He worries, but you shake your head.
"No, I wanted to.. you know, give you something." You shrug. "But this thing sucks. It looks awful." You say, and his hand instead reaches out to hold yours now, thumb running over the back of your palm.
"It's made by you." He offers. "You've put effort into it, and I appreciate that." He tells you, and you shrug.
"You can be honest." You say. "It looks-"
"Like a gift given to me by my future mate." He says, and at that you freeze. It's the first time he openly calls you a future mate- even though he's not given you anything in return yet. "Let's not dwell on it for now, okay?" He asks, and you shrug. "Let's just exist for a moment. I just want to hold you." He says, and at that, you nod, before you lean in closer.
Soaking up both the sun- and the warmth of his skin and body next to yours.
⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅
The first preparations for the festivities are in full force, but tonight, things are still calm and easy.
Some are still hammering together the stages and booths, nails hit into wood in a steady rhythm, while others have gone to bed early. You yourself are still sitting outside- air cool now, refreshing as some insects chirp somewhere in the distance.
In a way, you dread the next two days. Because it'll be the last, and then you'll be back in the loud, bustling city full of noise and stress.
Someone sits next to you on the edge of the stage, a sigh escaping him as he looks at what you're watching. "It's nice like this." He comments, nodding to himself. You nod as well.
"I don't want to go home yet." You mumble almost more to yourself than anyone else- but he still hears you.
"You don't have to- not yet." He tries to lift your mood. It works only a little. "Dont let the thoughts of what's to come ruin what you've got right now. That's what my mom always says." He playfully shoves his shoulder against yours. "But- that's not actually why I wanted to see you." He suddenly says, jumping down from the edge of the stage, pulling something from the pocket of his pants. It jungles distinctively- a high sound indicating a small bell of some sorts, and his hands are almost hesitant as his fingers wrap around your bare ankle.
"Dont think I've forgotten.." he starts, and you can't help the goosebumps that erupt from the way his hands pull you closer by your leg. "...or that I have chosen someone else.." he tells you, gaze sharp and fierce again as he watches your every reaction from his position. He reveals the delicate, silver anklet that he's got, wrapping it around before he uses a small pair of pliers to bend close one of the chain links.
There's no way for you to take it off now without breaking it. A silent offering that also showes his urge to make sure you know that his decisions are final. That he stands by this gesture, by his words, his choice.
And he's choosing you.
"Thats cheating." You tease. "You're making the hunt easy on yourself." You jab at him jokingly. "Scared you won't catch me without the help or a bell around my leg?" You ask, tilting your head innocently while he leans down to kiss the side of your knee- and action that makes your breath hitch a little, something that doesn't go unnoticed as the corners of his lips lift.
"Oh, that bell isn't for me." He chuckles, hands at the very edge of the hem of your dress, never daring to go any higher. "Its so everyone else knows to stay away from you, because you'll be mine." He says.
"Bold." You just tell him, as he helps you down from the edge of the stage and into his arms, before he cages you in with your back against the wooden front of the structure, arms on either side of you.
"How could I not be?" He wonders, looking down at you, eyes jumping from your lips to your eyes. "I've got to be, considering all the others who lick their lips after you."
You scoff. He tilts his head for a second in confusion.
"You don't believe me?" He asks, and you shrug, looking away- but he doesn't have it, pulls your face back with his hand on your chin- before said hand moves to hold your cheek instead, an awfully tender gesture from the otherwise rather rough dragonkin. "You've got no idea how much you're desired."
"I'm not, really." You deny, but he instead leans in to nose at your neck, breathing in your scent. "Except, maybe by you." You try and joke, but you can instead feel his grin against your neck as he places an almost teasing kiss close to your dragon's-burn on the back of your neck.
"That you are." He affirms. "I desire you a lot. Not just.. physically though." He explains.
"Huh?" You stupidly sigh, unable to think straight under his ministrations.
"I desire all of you." He tries to explain. "I want to hear what worries you, what you think of, what you believe you can't tell anyone else. I want to know what makes you happy, what gets you excited, what makes you sad." He rambles, leaning his head on your shoulder now, lips tenderly kissing the tip of it. "I don't just want your body." He says. "I want you."
"Jungkook-" you sigh, and he can't help but laugh boyishly to himself.
"I love the way you say my name." He chuckles. "I love that you say my name." He clarifies, and you can't help but smile as well now, butterflies no longer being ignored now as they flutter in your heart at his clear display of affection.
You've never been desired like that. Wanted. Almost needed, in a way.
"Tomorrow." He reminds you, leaning away from you again. "Tomorrow, you'll be mine." He tells you.
"I won't make it easy." You threaten playfully, and he grins.
"And I wouldn't want you to, either." He responds before you both part ways-
Barely sleeping as the excitement sets in.

Can i request fae hobie and reader? Maube where it doesnt happen in the fall, like totally separate universe. Like i deadass need to seem him as a dad with kids and with reader happily man😭, you dont gotta do it though dw dw.
Fae! Hobie with kids you say? I gotchu, angel 🫶
Pairing: Fae! Dad! Hobie Brown x fem! Reader
Tags: no use of Y/N, no specific physical description of the reader, Fae AU, Dad AU, Fluff.
ʕ⁠·⁠ᴥ⁠·⁠ʔ
Juniper runs happily in the field, green dress swinging wildly, tall grass parting for her, little daisies kiss her feet as she sprints away from her younger sister. Poppy whose smaller legs make it hard for her to keep up, her curly hair frames her chubby cheeks, a toothy grin brings light in your laughter while you watch them chase each other on the grass. The tiny bundle gurgles in your arms, his golden eyes stares at you expectantly like he's asking you why you're laughing.
The sun beams down at your little family and the bubble that Hobie made to keep you and his family away from prying eyes and dangerous people. The large oak tree provides shade for you and your newborn, soft fabric lay under you for comfort. You've settled deep in the woods, miles and miles away from the nearest soul. Hobie has done a great deal to protect you and his children, keeping everyone inside his realm safe and sound. And he'll do anything to keep it that way, with every means necessary.
You tilt your head, cooing and nuzzling your nose on top of Bear’s head. The name wasn't much of a choice per se but you and Hobie couldn't pick a suitable name so you both nicknamed him in the meantime always calling him your ‘little bear’ the both of you got so used to calling him ‘your bear’, you two just decided that it's his name now.
A large hawk flies overhead, a breeze following past, fluttering the grass and the leaves. The girls stop playing, pointing and yelling at the bird.
“Dad’s back!” Junie yells, she runs towards you, all smiles and giggles. She was your carbon copy when she was born but now that she's older there's more of Hobie you see in her everyday. From her height to how she scrunches her nose when she laughs.
“Dad's back! Did you see?!” She bounces up and down, tiny ribbons decorating her thick curls. “Mum, did you see?” Junie breathes heavily from her run.
“I did see, baby. Where's your sister?” You peek behind her, noticing that Poppy isn't following close.
For a second your heart falls from your chest until you see Hobie carrying her in his arms, tiny hands waving wildly in the distance. You can breathe again.
“Come sit down, Junie, drink some water.” she plops down next to you.
“‘m not thirsty.” Stubborn, like her father.
“Even if you're not, you still need to drink because you've been sweating a lot.” You wipe her moist forehead with a towel. “See? Go drink, my flower.” With a huff, she does what she's told. Definitely Hobie's daughter, alright.
A shadow casts over you, Bear smiles, blowing a milk bubble from his lips.
“Hello there.” You smile up at Hobie and Poppy who's currently clambering down from her father.
She settles next to you, greeting Bear with a gentle kiss on his forehead. “Hi mummy.” Her auburn eyes smile at you. Poppy, the sweet heart that she is, presses a loud smooch on your temple.
“Hello, my star, go drink water for me? Please?”
“Okay!” She half crawls towards her sister and the picnic basket. You think this one takes after you more.
“Hey you—” Hobie falls on the blanket with a thud, fatigue marring his chiseled face. “Everything okay?” you roam your eyes over his body for any signs of a fight. Heart clenching at the thought, thankfully you find none.
You trace the muscles on his arm, goosebumps rising on his skin where your fingers have touched him. You find that it's the only thing that could do that to him.
He sighs, despite the tiredness he still finds it in him to smile at you. “Everything is as it should be.” Sitting up, he takes a peek at the new addition in the family. “Little Bear, have you been good?”
“Hobie,” your tone is serious. “The barrier—?”
“It's staying strong.” He flicks a fallen leaf off your shoulder. “Nothin’ to worry about, love.”
You nod, feeling the lump in your throat disappear. Laying your head on his shoulder, you breathe him in, drowning in him.
“Bring me next time? I worry when you're not here.”
“Once you're better,” he promises. “For now, focus on resting.” Hobie holds the back of your head, kissing the crown of flowers the girls made you. It crinkles under the weight of his lips.
“Dad!” Juniper screams for her dad's attention. “Look! Poppy and I caught a lizard!”
He chuckles, right hand cradling Bear's head casually. “Careful, that one breathes fire.” he teases.
“Ack!” Junie lets it go while Poppy laughs. The tiny lizard skidaddles out and into the tall grass. “aww, bye mr. Lizard.”
“Come sit with us, froggy.” Hobie pats the space next to him.
Junie quickly makes her way to him, instead of sitting next to her father, she takes her seat on his lap. The sudden weight brings an ‘oof’ from Hobie. She giggles, embracing her father as a half apology.
Poppy pouts, a copy of Hobie when he wants a cuddle but doesn't want to ask directly.
“There's a seat right in the middle just for you, rabbit.” Hobie scooches a bit, her pout morphs into a grin, baby teeth peeking out from her lips.
You notice her blue overalls are getting smaller on her, mentally making a note to make a new one for her. She's growing so fast, it's what you expected since she takes after her father. It makes you excited to see Bear grow up, you wonder whether he takes after you or Hobie.
Poppy loops her arm around yours while she wraps the other one around Hobie's. She kicks her feet happily, laying her forehead atop your arm. She hums a familiar tune.
You look over her head to peer at Hobie, finding that he's already staring at you. Mouthing an ‘I love you’, you watch as his tiredness fades, replaced by a bright genuine smile.
He answers with a hand behind your neck, pulling you closer, chastely kissing with the promise to protect the family you two made.

I used Picrew to create the mother of the Lords in Black and Webby from my fic ‘Spawn’:
Tumblr media
This is The White. She is lawfully good and has existed since the dawn of time - the first flash of light in the darkness, essentially the Big Bang. She and The Black - the other original being - felt lonely, so they created six children. The White has abandoned her five sons because she saw into their souls and found them to be entirely devoid of her light, but she alone formed Webby, making the youngest child of the Black and White the purest of all, although The Black’s influence partially invaded Webby the day she was born. You can read more about The White in this fic:

A Girl
Pairing: Will Halstead x Reader
Requested: yes, by anon
Summary: When the fourth addition to their family arrives, Y/N already knows that Will will be wrapped around her tiny little fingers.
Tumblr media
Word Count: 1,042
Square Filled: Kids for #resa.3kfiestabingo
Warnings: none
A/N: Wasn’t quite sure what to do with this but I hope you like it! We don't know Mama Halstead's name so I put in a name I thought would fit!
WILL HALSTEAD MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
“Congratulations, you have a healthy baby girl.”
Will’s head jerked upwards from where he was standing next to you clutching your hand, before he turned to look at you, a smile spreading across his face. A smile that made you think that all this was worth it - the waiting, not knowing, even now as you lay here thoroughly exhausted.
Not knowing the gender of your baby had been more difficult than you thought, made all the more difficult by the fact that both you and Will worked in the hospital.
You’d secretly hoped for a girl, because if you and Will ended up with four boys, you weren’t sure whether your house, or your sanity, would survive it. But you hadn’t told him anything, even when Will suggested that the both of you should keep the gender of the baby a surprise.
Now, looking at the expression on his face, as they put your newborn daughter into your arms, you knew just by the look on his face that Will was going to be wrapped around her tiny little fingers.
Will leaned in now, towards the both of you, his arms encircling his girls before he looked at you, resting his head gently against yours. “Thank you.” He whispered. “For everything you do for us.”
Exhausted as you were, you smiled back at the newborn that was lying in your arms, before you glanced back up at Will. “Couldn’t do it without you.” You whispered, feeling the tears gather in your eyes again.
Shortly after, the nurses had taken your daughter up to the nursery while you’d been brought to a hospital room. Goodwin had come by to make sure everything was well, which you’d been grateful for. Another nurse had then brought your little girl into your room for her first feed. The quiet was then broken when Jay came by with your three boys.
“Mum!” Damian, your oldest, came barreling in, Raphael right behind him, before Jay brought up the rear, Luke asleep in Uncle Jay’s arms.
“Easy, boys.” Will called from where he was standing on the other side of your bed, before he rounded off towards the children with a smile, lifting them one by one so they could take a look at their sister.
You smiled at Jay. “Thanks, Jay.”
Jay smiled back. “Come on, Y/N. You know I love spending time with the boys.”
You just gave him a soft smile back, your eyes once again falling on the little tag the hospital attached to the cots of newborns.
Baby Girl Halstead.
The three words jumped out at you, not just reminding you that you had a daughter but that you hadn’t named her.
You glanced back down at her, her little strands of red hair making you smile.
“Look at that. Just like her father." You glanced up at Will with a smile.
Before Damian was born, you were dead sure that you would have a whole bunch of redheaded kids running around, but instead they’d taken after your dark hair, with their father’s brown eyes. And somehow it felt fitting that your youngest and only daughter would be a redhead.
“What about… Ruby?” You asked your husband. “Ruby Corinne Halstead?”
Jay glanced up, as did Will.
“What?”
You smiled. “She’s the first baby girl Halstead.” You glanced at Jay with a small smile. “If Jay doesn't mind, I just thought it’d be nice if…”
Will didn’t let you finish your sentence as he bent down to press his lips against yours. “How do I deserve you?”
You smiled. “Come on, you really thought I wouldn’t let her have her grandma’s name?”
“Ruby Corinne Halstead.” The words rolled off Will’s tongue as if they were familiar and not something you’d suggested just a minute ago.
Will glanced at his brother as you looked up at Jay, wanting to make sure he was good with it. jay nodded back with a smile. "It's perfect." Jay said with a low voice, propping his youngest nephew more securely on his arm.
Will turned back to you. “I’ll get it done.” Will pressed a light kiss to the top of the sleeping Ruby’s small head, leaving the room to go get paperwork sorted, while your sons moved closer again to peer at their younger sister.
Tumblr media
You'd known Will was ruined the moment he’d laid eyes on Ruby but it still didn’t cease to amaze you.
Will had always been a very involved father, from the moment Damian had been born. When Raphael came along, Will managed to be just as involved while making sure that Damian didn’t feel left out and did the same for Luke as well.
But with Ruby, he was just a little different.
It wasn’t like he favored Ruby above the boys because God knows he loved those three rascals with all his heart. He made sure he put time aside for them to have outdoor activities and do the things they loved with them so that they wouldn’t feel left out even after Ruby's arrival. But it was little things that he did with Ruby that were just a little different.
Maybe it was the way he cradled her close to him as he walked around the house, or maybe it was when you walked into the living room to see Will lying motionless on the couch, Ruby sleeping peacefully on his chest.
And then there was that one night you’d woken up and despite your exhaustion, the first thought that hit you was that Ruby had been too quiet. Noting Will’s absence from his side of the bed, you climbed out of bed only to find Will quietly singing her to sleep in the nursery.
Just like that, a year passed, with Ruby growing quickly under the watchful loving eye of her father, her three older brothers and her Uncle Jay.
You were a little worried she was gonna be spoilt silly by all of them, but as you sat on the picnic mat and watched the three boys run towards Will, while Ruby shrieked in delight, safe in her father’s arms, you stopped worrying. As long as the six of you, and Jay, were a family, things would work themselves out.

In the double legacy Au how do the gods, montera or Camp react to percies legacy? Does he meet any Northa?
In the Magnus Chase series it's said that Children of Norse gods aren't "detectable" to monsters and gods UNTIL they die. And since Sally's a Legacy of LOKI one of the Norse gods most commonly associated with like misdirection and like avoiding traps (not counting the whole ''i invented the thing that finally caught me'' thing. Please keep nets away from the Jackson family. its like their only weakness. Also Loki being the inventor of nets might have something to do with how Percy was able to host that one Egyptian god, in that one side story, who ALSO invented nets, but that's off topic) the gods just have like, no fucking clue about it. As for the whole legacy of Venus, it's so far down the generational chain that it's barely even noticable, beyond the whole ''singing-charmspeak-siren-powers'' which Sally has basically forbidden/scared?(unintentionally) Percy into never using. By the time anyone (Zeus, Ares, or other ppl who don't like Percy) realizes that Sally's and therefore Percy's heritage is cross-pantheon he's already won the favor of like- ALL the greek minor gods -(did you know that their are over 3100 immortals in the greek-mythos idk how many of that number are gods, compared to like primordials, titans, nymps, giants, and naliads but like that numbers' HUGE)- when he turned down immortality, has the begrudgingly support of Nico's dad, and has like literally saved the world twice. They can't do anything to them without like starting a war. Zeus is like trigger-happy one second from zappo murdering Percy but he CANT because Percy is the Darling. Everyone likes him now, if Zeus were to harm Percy he would have not only both his brothers to deal with but also LITERALLY everyone (minus maybe Athena and Ares) would be out for his blood.
Percy himself doesn't even find out he's a legacy until like after son of Neptune when Venus, says some shit and then his mom tells him what's up after he, Bob, and friendly giant friend get rescued from Tartarus: Ice Age Addition. to help with the final battle. (Speaking of battle Sally helps fight in the battle against Kronos in book 5, with her Seax Knives!(i remembered what her viking weapons was called!))
I have this scene in my head where like Alex Ferrari or however their name is spelt, comes to camp half blood like- 2 weeks post Dirt Fite, because she was told that they need a legacy of loki to help them complete a quest and that legacy was at the camp. and he's arguing with annabeth something like-
"Why would there be a Legacy of Loki HERE?!?!!?!"
"idk, but that's what THEY said"
Percy overhears this and is like 'No.'
'no that is nOt HaPpEnInG'
No you are not taking my mom on a quest when she is 7 months pregnant with his unborn little sister. And ends up joining the quest and that's how they find out cuz Percy asked Alex
"what generation legacy?"
And Alex is like 'why does that matter's and Percy goes off 'cuz either the gods want to force HIS MOM on a quest or they want to take a newborn and... Like...NO!!!' NOT HAPPENING. Percy rage.exe happens, there might have been an earthquake. Alex points out that Percy can just go instead. Nico is also their and ends up tagging along. He is still mad about the whole Percy saving Nico via 'distracting him with a kiss and shoving him in the elevator' in Tartarus thing. (Percy has been avoiding the subject, but now can't cuz they are stuck on a quest together) shenanigans insue.

Better days || chapter 2
Today I released second and final chapter of my first fanfiction! I also decided to add some additional tags, as this chapter shows also relationship between Padme and Anakin and Bly and Aayla.
Give me also some advice about AO3 age rating system. I don't know, how should I rate my work.
Please let me know, if you liked this fanfiction or it sucks!
Warnings: swearing, drunk people and Lux being dick
Link to AO3:
Several days have passed since those events. For Padmé and Anakin, the day they wanted has finally arrived. Padmé went into labor. Anakin was very upset about Padme's birth, and was still haunted by memories of visions in which Padmé died during childbirth. He waited impatiently for a medical droid or a doctor to finally come out and tell him that everything had gone according to plan. Anakin informed Obi Wan and Ahsoka that labor had begun. He wanted someone to accompany him and support him at that moment. Seeing Anakin's behavior, the bearded man decided to calm him down a little: 
- Anakin, don’t be so nervous! Padme is in the best medical facility on Coruscant, she is under the care of professionals! In addition, she is now the chancellor, so she can always count on much better specialists than others! 
- Thank you Master for these words, you calmed me down a little. Maybe I'm actually panicking too much. But it takes a while. 
- Skyguy, everything will be fine! - Ahsoka said with a smile - Padme is a strong woman, she has been through a lot, so she will easily cope with childbirth! 
 - Thanks for these words Ahsoka! 
After a dozen or so minutes, the medical droid left the room where Padme was lying and began to walk towards Anakin. Anakin sprang from the chair he was sitting on and said to the droid: 
- How about her?! Everything went according to plan? 
- Mr. Anakin, yes, it all worked out! - the droid began to say - your wife gave birth to beautiful twins! Both your wife and newborn children are safe! 
Anakin's face turned pale and he slumped to his feet. Obi Wan caught him in time, otherwise he would have fallen to the floor. All three had shock and disbelief on their faces. Everyone, especially Anakin, thought Padme would only have one child. Nobody expected twins. After a moment, Anakin said: 
- Twins! I have twins! I will be the father of two children!  Tears began to gather in Anakin's eyes, he was very touched by this joyful news, after a moment he asked: 
- Can we go inside? 
- Yes, although your friends can only come in for a moment. The patient is very tired after the whole birth, so visits from people outside the family must be limited - replied the droid. 
They entered the room where Padme lay. The sight they saw confirmed what the droid had said earlier. Anakin's wife was very exhausted and tired of giving birth, but her face showed joy and contentment. Right next to her were newborn babies. 
- Ani! - said Padme in a weakened voice - everything worked out, why are you crying? - she asked seeing tears flowing down Anakin's cheeks 
- It's from happiness Padme! - He answered her then walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek. 
- How are our kids? 
- They are healthy, we have a boy and a girl - Padme said happily - take them in your arms - she added. 
Anakin pulled the girl out and carefully took her in his arms. He looked at her carefully, then said: 
- She looks a lot like you! I think she inherited many traits from you - Anakin said with a smile 
- Can I hold her? asked Ahsoka 
- Yes, just be careful - he said, handing the girl over to Ahsoka, then took the boy and said: 
- Honey, what shall we call them? 
- Ani, I think I've already come up with names that will be best for our children. I was thinking of naming the boy Luke and the girl Leia - announced Padme - what do you think Ani? 
- Padme, these are the most beautiful names. I don't think I could think of better ones – he replied 
- Obi Wan, would you like to hold him? - asked Anakin 
- Can I? I don't want to scare him… - Obi Wan started to say, but Anakin cut him off. 
- Master, you must hold him - Anakin said, handing Luke with the utmost care in Obi Wan's arms then added: 
- I feel like you're going to be a great uncle, Master! - he commented, seeing with what care his master looks at the child  
- And you Ahsoka, will be great aunt! - Padmé added in a cheerful voice 
- I have a good feeling about that! - Anakin said 
Ahsoka and Obi Wan both smiled upon hearing these words, but immediately afterwards Anakin's former master said: 
- I think we should get going now, we've been sitting here for a while, haven't we Ahsoka? 
- You're right, I even forgot that I made an appointment with Rex to go to one certain place. 
Hearing the Ahsoka’s words, Obi Wan, Anakin and Padme looked at each other and were unsure of what they had just heard. 
- With whom? - they said at the same time. 
- Well? I love him more than anything, and he loves me. And besides, I'm not a Jedi, so you can't blame me for anything. The Code no longer applies to me. 
- Calm down Ahsoka, no one is mad at you or holds any grudges. We're just very surprised by it - Anakin said, then added: 
- At least I see I wasn't the only one keeping my relationship a secret. I hope the Code will be reformed. I wonder how many Jedi still have some kind of secret love relationship, he said with a smile 
- I agree with the idea of reforming the Code - Ahsoka replied to his words 
- I support that too, Anakin. The Jedi Code was always changing. Changing some of the rules of the Code and how the Order works wouldn't be such a bad thing - Obi Wan added. 
Anakin laid down his children at this time, then thanked Obi Wan and Ahsoka for coming and visiting. 
A few days later  
Military medical facility  
As announced by Chancellor Padme Amidala, the chip removal process, mandatory for all clone troopers, began today. Each unit received guidelines on the time and place of the procedure. The 332nd company was one of the first to undergo this treatment. Rex was to undergo the procedure first. A moment before the procedure, he was very stressed, he was afraid that something might happen to him or the procedure itself would fail and he would die. Fortunately, he was accompanied by Ahsoka, who calmed him down and was with him all the time. Before starting the procedure, Rex hugged Ahsoka and kissed her before saying: 
- Just in case something... - Ahsoka interrupted him: 
 - Rex, this is completely safe! Pull yourself together and get in there! I will be with you all the time  
- Okay commander! - Rex said with a smile, then walked in. 
A few dozen minutes later  
Rex was lying in a hospital bed. He has not yet woken up since the end of the procedure. According to information from doctors, clones can wake up even after a few hours. Ahsoka sat by Rex's bedside all the time, waiting for him to wake up. She looked at the bandage on his head. This is where the chip was implanted. Ahsoka thought for a moment about what would have happened if things had turned out a little differently and taken a wrong turn. What if someone had issued Order 66 that Anakin mentioned. She wasn't a Jedi, so technically she shouldn't have been executed. But she couldn't imagine how, in an instant, the clones, the soldiers with whom the Jedi were fighting side by side, could turn against them and start killing them. At some point, she noticed that Rex began to move his fingers and slowly began to open his eyes. 
 She grabbed his hand and asked: 
 - How do you feel Rex?  
- Okay, Ahsoka - he began to grope his head at this point, and came across the bandage with his hand and said: 
 - So it was here that they installed these contrapties in us? 
- Looks like it, honey - Ahsoka said 
- You were right, it was safe, I didn't even feel anything when they pulled it out of me - Rex said happily, then added: 
- I think I slept a little, didn't I? 
- Yes, you lay down for a while, but you slept a short time anyway, because some clones may even wake up after a few hours - Ahsoka told him.  
The two talked a little more. Rex was discharged from the hospital the next day because he was healthy and did not show any symptoms that could indicate his poor health caused by undergoing surgery.   
2 weeks later  
During this period, 3 landmark events took place. The first thing was to capture the Separatist leaders. Republic intelligence tracked them down in the Mustafar system. Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were the commanders of the operation. The 501st Legion took part in the action, including the 332nd Company, formally commanded by Rex, but in fact Ahsoka Tano, and the 212th Battalion. The Jedi agreed to allow Ahsoka to participate in the operation as an "advisor", similar to the siege of Mandalore. For obvious reasons, she could not officially command any clone unit. The operation itself went quickly and efficiently. The troops encountered little resistance, and all the Separatists were captured and sent back to the Republic, where a peace treaty was signed with them. A few days after the treaty was signed, the trials of Darth Maul, Mas Medda and Separatists leaders took place. Darth Maul and Mas Medda were sentenced to death. The charges Darth Maul has received include treason against the Republic, genocide, Jedi assassinations, leading an organized crime group, and the murder of the Duchess of Mandalore. The sentence was carried out by beheading with a lightsaber. Mas Medda was charged with complicity in conspiracy, treason against the Republic, and deliberate misrepresentation of the Senate. The sentence was carried out by hanging. The Separatist leaders were originally sentenced to death, but these were later commuted to long prison sentences. The second major event was the completion of the investigation into the Kaminoan experiments. The investigation revealed that the Kaminoans were working on cloning the Zillo beast that attacked Coruscant earlier, and they also created female clones of Jango Fett. Two such clones were discovered: Emerie Karr, an adult woman whom the Kaminoans trained to conduct research and experiments. It was supposed to help the Kaminoans in their research. The second clone was a girl named Omega. She had not yet been given any functions, perhaps the Kaminoans were waiting until she became an adult woman. Kamino was placed under the strict supervision of the Republic, and the Jedi presence on its planet was increased from one to three. Any new experiments now had to be reported to the Jedi stationed there. Correctly, Lama Su and Nala Se, as well as the whole of Kamino, should be sanctioned even more for their continued support of Palpatine's plan, but it was decided that they would act from now on on on behalf of the Republic. They did not want to waste their previous achievements, and their research was decided to be used for good purposes. The first order of the Republic was to significantly reduce the production of clone troops. There was no need to produce an excess number of clones, because the conflict with the Separatists was resolved. It was also known that clones have accelerated aging, which is why the Kaminoans were commissioned to develop a special vaccine with a special substance that would inhibit the rapid aging process and restore normal aging. In addition, the newly created clones were to have accelerated aging until they reached an age adequate to the clone's function. The last important thing that happened at that time was the issue of granting rights to clone troopers. Pantoran senator Riyo Chuchi took up the fight for clone rights, but convincing the Galactic Senate of her demands was an extremely difficult task. Although it won the support of several senators, there were still not enough senators to convince the rest of the Senate to grant rights to clones. Some of the postulates of the pantoran senator included: 
Granting a Senate seat to one clone, who will represent the interests of all clone troopers 
Granting civil rights and allowing clones to participate in public life 
Providing the clones with decent living conditions after their service ends 
Unfortunately, Riyo Chuchi knew that she had a difficult task ahead of her, and it might be some time before she could convince the other senators to support her idea. 
One week later  
Anakin, Obi Wan, and Ahsoka decided to meet at Dexter's bar, owned by Obi Wan's friend. It was Dexter who once helped Obi Wan find Kamino when he was looking for the assassin who tried to kill then-senator Amidala. The three friends talked to each other about the events that have taken place recently and the ceremonial parade that will take place to celebrate the end of the war. At some point, Rex unexpectedly entered the bar, followed closely by Cody and Wolffe. 
- And what brings you here? - Obi Wan asked 
 - Let me guess, you probably did something and are afraid to say? - Anakin added, laughing  
- We didn't do anything wrong - Rex said, then continued - Ahsoka knows why we came here, because I told her about our idea yesterday. 
 - What idea? - Obi Wan asked 
 - Well, together with the guys we thought that maybe we could invite others and organize an unofficial celebration of victory at 79s cantina? 
- So you want to throw a party, right? - said Anakin 
- We thought it would be good to integrate and get to know a little bit from a different side. Well, you understand, so far we know each other only from the military, professional side. - Cody said 
- And besides, we want you to participate, because this event would also be a kind of thanks to you! You saved our lives more than once! - finished Wolffe 
- I can count on you, my darling, right? - Rex turned to Ahsoka 
- Sure - she replied 
- And you accept our invitation? - Rex asked Anakin and Obi Wan 
- I'd have to ask Padme what she thinks. You know we have kids now and things... but I don't think she should mind. 
- It's okay, just let me know as soon as possible, because we plan to arrange it all in 3 days 
- If you're coming, I'm coming too - Obi Wan said, then added - and who else have you invited? 
- We actually sent invitations to all the Jedi who led us and some senators. There will definitely be master Plo Koon, Aayla Secura and senator Riyo Chuchi. We are still waiting for answers from the rest. - Rex replied 
- Well, this is going to be a party Coruscant will never forget! - Anakin said laughing 
3 days later  
The party at 79s cantina had been going on for several hours. Most of the invitees agreed to come, although some refused and did not come. This group included Mace Windu. Inside the cantina it got very colorful. Clones from various units came to it, which was synonymous with the fact that they wore uniforms in colors symbolizing individual units. And that's how you could watch the 327th Star Corps drink together with the Coruscant Guard and hear stories from soldiers of the 104th Battalion and the 501st Legion. Some, slightly more drunk clones arranged various competitions and games, while others danced with the women present in the cantina. It also seemed that Ahsoka wasn't the only one who had found her love in the clone. Sitting at the table, Ahsoka noticed Bly holding Aayla Secura's hand. It didn't last long, because after a while, Aayla gave Bly her gaze telling him to hide his hand, and then whispered something in his ear.  
- She probably wants their relationship to remain a secret. She is afraid that she will suffer some consequences because of this. - Togruta thought 
After a few minutes, the Twi’lek Jedi Master got up from the table and headed for the bathroom. Seeing this, Ahsoka decided to follow her. 
- Where are you going? - Rex asked 
- I'll be right back - Ahsoka replied 
Togruta quickly followed Aayla and managed to catch her just before the door. 
- Are you having fun? - Aayla Secura began 
 - Of course! What about you?  
- Me too - the two women entered the bathroom. Ahsoka quickly made sure that no one was in the toilet stalls and no one was coming. She tried to ensure discreet and privacy for Secura as possible, and she didn't want anyone to hear their delicate conversation. 
- Aayla, are you in love with Bly? 
Aayla's face was shocked, she hadn't expected such a question from her Togrutan friend. After a moment, slightly frightened, she spoke:  
- How do you know that?  
- I saw you holding hands for a moment.  
- Damn, I just told him not to do it in front of others because someone might see it. Yes, we are together, but we remain hidden for obvious reasons. - Twi'lek replied nervously, and then added: 
- We quietly hope that the Code will actually be reformed soon, so that we can freely show up together, without fear of consequences.  
Seeing Aayla Secura's stress and nervousness, Ahsoka decided to calm her down:  
- Relax, don't be nervous. You can always count on me, I will never betray you. And if someone asks, I will say that I drank too much and something predicted me or that I do not remember anything.  
Hearing Ahsoka's words, Aayla breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the Togruta saying:  
-Thanks! You don't even know how important it is for me and Bly! I am very happy that I can count on your discretion!  
- No problem! I understand how you feel, you don't want to experience extra stress - Ahsoka said. Ahsoka then left the bathroom and Aayla occupied one of the toilets. Walking to the table where she had been sitting earlier, the Togruta looked around the room a bit and noticed that Obi Wan was nowhere to be found. As she sat down at the table, she decided to ask where Obi Wan had gone:    - I'm back, where is Obi Wan?    - He said he was going to get some air outside the cantina - Anakin replied    - He's been gone for a while - Rex pointed out    - Actually, he said he would only go for a while, and he's been gone for several dozen minutes - added Padme    - I'll see what’s going on with him - Anakin said, getting up from the table 
Anakin went to the exit of the cantina, in the meantime he was accosted by a certain commando: 
- General, are you running away already? - he say a little incomprehensibly. You could smell alcohol from his mouth. He must have drunk a lot. 
- I'm just going to get some air for a moment - Anakin replied to him, and then he suddenly heard someone calling the commando: 
- Gregor! Leave him alone and come back to us! - the unknown clone screeched    - Okay, okay, I'm coming! - said Gregor, who staggered to the table from which he had heard the call. 
Anakin stepped outside the cantina and began to look around. He saw many clone soldiers and other party attendees who also went out to get some fresh air or smoke a cigarette. At one point, he noticed one of the clones vomiting and the other holding him up. Young Skywalker finally managed to find Obi Wan. He stood alone, leaning against the wall, and looking out over the panorama of Coruscant. He seemed to be thinking about something. Anakin finally walked up to him and spoke: 
- Here you are Master! And I'm looking for you everywhere, we've already started to worry, because you're not coming back for a long time.  
-You know, I left because I had to think things a little bit. Anakin stood next to him and listened to what the bearded Jedi was saying: 
- We won the war, but look Anakin at the cost to all of us. How many towns, villages, had been destroyed, how many people had lost their - his voice began to break - loved ones. 
After saying these words, Obi Wan looked up into the starry sky. Tears began to roll down his cheeks. Anakin quickly connected the facts and guessed what, or rather who Obi Wan meant:  
- You miss Satine, am I right?  
- Yes, you don't even know how much I miss her! Why did I have to suffer so much? First I lost my master, then Maul murdered the love of my life in front of my eyes! Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake. Maybe I could have left the Order when I was still a young Padawan of Qui-Gon, at least I would have spent some time with Satine. 
Anakin listened to Obi Wan's monologue and wondered how to comfort him. After thinking about it, he said:  
- Master, I think Satine would be very proud of you! You helped her sister liberate Mandalore, you can control your emotions and thanks to this you are not consumed by the dark side. Satine would be immensely grateful for what you have done so far for her, her sister, and the entire Mandalore! 
They stood for a moment in silence, which was interrupted by Obi Wan:  
- Thank you, Anakin! I needed this conversation, I had to finally tell someone about what was constantly on my heart! You're like a brother to me, I'm glad I have someone like you! - He patted Anakin on the shoulder, then added:  
- I hope that Bo Katan will consider the Jedi and the Republic's participation in the liberation of her planet. My dream is that we will finally have a good relationship with the Mandalorians. They would be good and powerful allies. May this be the first step towards establishing good relations with the Republic for the first time in history. I also hope that Bo Katan will honor Satine in some way. Despite being enemies in the political arena, Bo Katan loved and respected her sister very much. 
With these words, the two Jedi began to return to the cantina. As they sat back at the table, Padme spoke:  
- Where have you been for so long? We thought something had happened to you, I was about to go looking for you!  
- We were talking in front of the cantina, you could come to us! - Anakin replied  
A group of friends started talking to each other and sipping drinks. Suddenly, everyone heard a powerful bang and the sound of a smashed bottle. The music stopped playing and everyone started looking around the room to find the source of the sound. Immediately afterwards, all eyes were on Wrecker, who, trying to get up from the table, pushed the bottle with his hand and fell to the floor. He was drunk. At that time, Hunter burst into the canteen, who was gone for a long time. You could see on his face the nervousness of the situation he saw after entering the cantina: 
- Fuck! You cannot be left alone even for a moment! How many times have I told you not to let Wrecker drink alcohol!? shouting, he walked to the table of the Bad Batch, and there was laughter all over the room, and then the music sounded again and everyone went back to what ther were doing. 
- Echo, Tech, help me pick him up! We'll take him to the Marauder. The members of the Bad Batch stood up and slowly began to lift their friend. Crosshair was watching them, giving them his characteristic smile. 
- And what are you waiting for? Move your ass and help us! After all, the three of us will not be able to carry him! - Hunter ordered, then the sniper reluctantly stood up and proceeded to help. The whole situation looked comical! Minutes later after the incident, Padmé noticed it was time to go home:  
- Ani, we should be leaving now!  
- You're right, darling!  
The Skywalkers said goodbye to their friends and began to wait for the pilot to come after them. Half an hour later, Obi Wan decided to return to the temple, and an hour later Ahsoka with Rex left the canteen. It was late at night and more and more people were starting to leave the party. The party in the cantina has already ended, but everyone who was there will have nice memories of the moments that they experienced together with their friends! 
One week later  
The day has come for the parade that will march through the streets of Coruscant. It was decided to organize it to celebrate the victory of the Republic in the devastating war for 3 years and the defeat of the Sith. Representatives of military units from other planets were also invited to the march. Only senators or leaders came from some of the planets, because not every planet had its own armed forces. The most important people in the Republic sat in special seats. Right next to Chancellor Amidala, the Jedi Council and some military commanders took their seats, including Wulff Yularen and the not very popular Wilhuff Tarkin, who did not have a very good reputation among clones. Next to them were senators, leaders of planets invited to take part in the parade, and other Jedi. Ahsoka also sat in the VIP area. Her contribution to winning the war and her help in command was appreciated, despite the fact that she was no longer a Jedi, and she was allowed to sit next to the most important people. A large crowd of citizens gathered around the entire route, who wanted to take a closer look at the presented military equipment and the march of soldiers. The march was opened by a representation of the Coruscant Guard, led by Commander Fox. Seeing the commander of the Guard, Riyo Chuchi began waving at him. Ahsoka has heard rumors that Pantoran has crush on Fox. Right behind soldiers was the passage of BARC soldiers on speeders. Moments later, LAATs in the colors of the Coruscant Guard flew over the heads of the assembled crowd. This was followed by a march by the 501st Legion and the 332nd Company. Ahsoka quickly grabbed her holo-tablet and began recording the march. Rex asked her the day before the parade to record the moment when the unit she had commanded would be walking. Rex was very curious to see how his team fared at the parade. The clones were followed by AT-TE walkers and AT-RT rovers, and ARC-170 and Y-Wing star fighters flew in the air. After passing these walkers, the audience saw the representation of the 41st Elite Corps, which took part in the Battle of Kashyyyk. The soldiers were followed by HAVv A6 Juggernaut tanks, followed by clones from the 327th Star Corps. Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared over everyone, the assembled crowd reacted quickly and looked up to see what was above their heads. A low-flying Venator-class star destroyer appeared before their eyes. After passing all the representatives of individual units of the Grand Army of the Republic and troops from other planets, at the end the Volunteer Army of the Republic, a newly formed formation of the armed forces of the Republic, was presented. It was open to citizens who were willing to defend the Republic against threats and to bring peace to systems that were turbulent. The elite unit of the Republic Volunteer Army, whose members were the best of the best, were stormtroopers. The purpose of both groups was to carry out anti-terrorist operations, escort VIPs, conduct peacekeeping missions and support the Grand Army of the Republic. After the parade, many important personalities decided to speak and give speeches. 
One month later  
The Galactic Senate has finally reached a breakthrough! Pantoran Senator Riyo Chuchi's demands to grant rights to clones have been implemented! The first clone in history to represent the clones' interests in the Senate is Rex. Initially, he did not want to accept this function, because he believed that he was not suitable and did not know politics. However, he was convinced by Ahsoka and his brothers, who explained to him that there was no better clone than him who could act as a senator. In addition, he could always count on the support of the Chuchi, which somehow became a symbol of the fight for the rights of clones. Eventually, Rex agreed to serve as senator of all clones and began drafting the first bills, which he wanted to introduce in the Senate after some time. His additional task was also to supervise the observance and fulfillment of Riyo Chuchi's postulates. Unfortunately, not everyone was happy with Rex's Senate seat and support for Chuchi's ideals. One such person was Lux Bonteri, a senator from Onderon who had crush on Ahsoka in the past. One day, he led to an unpleasant situation in which he humiliated Rex and the other clones and insulted Ahsoka. After the deliberations, Rex went out into the corridor, where the Togruta was waiting for him: 
- Hello my senator! - Ahsoka said with a smile  
- Hi! - Rex told her, then kissed her on the cheek 
 They began to head for the exits, and Ahsoka asked him:  
- How was today?  
- Honestly, it's nothing interesting! - Rex began to say - we still vote only on taxes and some unimportant bills. The job of a senator is not as exciting as serving in the army! 
They both laughed and then continued talking to each other about slightly different topics. However, they did not notice that they were being followed by Lux, who after a few minutes of tracking decided to speak: 
- Well, who am I seeing here, Ahsoka Tano! - he said dismissively - I see you like to fuck with clones! I still love you all the time, please be with me! You'll have a better life with me than with this... thing! 
On the faces of Rex and Ahsoka, first there was shock caused by the words of the Onderon senator, and then nervousness. Rex was about to punch Lux in the face, but Ahsoka stopped him. 
- Fuck off from us, okay? I never felt anything for you and never will! We won't be a couple! - Ahsoka said furiously 
- I still think you're making a mistake. I also believe that giving "test tubes" a seat in the Senate is the biggest mistake the Senate has made! Now listen to me CLONE! I will always vote against the bills you support and create, and I will ruin your senatorial career. - Lux, after saying these words, spoke to Ahsoka: 
- And you got kicked out of the Order for being a whore or there was other reason? 
Rex couldn't stand it and finally reacted to Lux's words: 
- Listen to me now, you bastard! First, no one asked you for your opinion on my bills and the wisdom of giving clones a seat in the Senate. Secondly, you can vote against me, I am supported by the majority of senators anyway, so your miserable opposition will make me laugh. And thirdly, if you continue to insult me or Ahsoka, I will talk to you differently! 
Ahsoka listened with bated breath as Rex crushed Lux. She had never seen Rex in such anger. Lux was speechless, he didn't expect Rex to answer him so harshly.  
- What choked you up so much,? In the Senate, you're never talkative either! - added Rex Wanting to prevent further escalation, Ahsoka grabbed Rex's hand and said:  
- Let's go Rex, leave that jerk already! 
The pair turned and walked away from Lux with a little quicker step. The Onderon senator stood stunned for a moment, then walked in an unknown direction. Moments later, Ahsoka began to say to Rex: 
- Thank you Rex for saving me from him!" I've never seen you like this. 
- I just hate it when someone insults the woman I love - Rex told her - They may offend me, but I'll never let anyone talk badly about you! - as he said these words, he put his arm around Ahsoka. 
A few days later, Ahsoka and Rex learned that Lux had been dismissed as senator by his superiors in Onderon. Apparently, he was demoted to some insignificant position because of acting in the Senate under the influence of emotions and neglect of duties. For Ahsoka and Rex, this meant that they would probably not meet the problematic senator soon. In the meantime, a group of clones from the 501st legion came up with a very good initiative. They secretly collected money that they want to spend on building a monument commemorating clone 99, who died defending Kamino, and Fives, who was wrongly shot while trying to apprehend. The idea was supported by Senator Rex, and after a short time it was decided that a monument to clone 99 would be erected on Kamino, and a monument commemorating Fives would be placed in the square next to the wall with the names of soldiers who died during the first battle of Geonosis. Boards were added to each of them with information about both clones and the deeds they performed. 
3 weeks later  
A touching event took place at Ryloth. On the initiative of the parents of Numa, a girl who was saved during the war by the clone Waxer, it was decided that one of the rebuilt schools would be named after the fallen clone. The opening ceremony of the school was attended by Boil, the clone who found the girl with Waxer, Obi Wan Kenobi, as well as Senator Rex. Jedi Master Kenobi himself has also been commemorated. In one of the cities, an avenue was put into use, which was called Obi Wan Kenobi’s Avenue. Meanwhile, the Republic began to withdraw troops from planets that had previously been covered by hostilities. On some planets, however, it was decided to leave small garrisons, in which soldiers changed every few months. Republic also began to monitor the situation on Mandalore, which was still in conflict. Although Bo Katan Kryze managed to control a much larger part of the planet, there are still isolated groups of rebellious Mandalorians resisting. Several times there were negotiations with the Mandalorians, who did not want to submit to Bo Katan, but they did not bring any result. Small Republic troops were left on Mandalore after the siege to provide assistance to Bo Katan, but they were too weak, so discussions began to send a peacekeeping mission led by the Jedi to de-escalate the conflict as soon as possible. 
2 weeks later  
A very important and personal event took place for Anakin. After much discussion in the Senate, slavery was finally banned across the galaxy! Anakin, who was a slave as a child, like his late mother, welcomed the news. This decision also marked the launch of many operations aimed at breaking up human trafficking groups and freeing slaves. Aayla Secura and Bly also had reasons to be happy. The Jedi Council began to implement a project to reform the Code. This meant lifting the ban on attachment. It was also decided to send a peacekeeping mission to Mandalore. These were some of the most serious steps to restore justice and peace to the galaxy. However, the Republic still had a few problems ahead of it. These included piracy, cartels and other criminal groups, terrorist organizations and planets that were lawless or mired in civil wars. However, it was only a matter of time before the Republic dealt with these problems. Everyone knew that better and safer times had come!

Checked out Reddit, and here are my predictions:
What I expect to see
Family Reunions are a new customizable event similar to weddings in MWS ( hopefully much more functional tho ) pick what to eat, what games to play.
Family tree update, less broken, adds distant relatives.
More hygiene gameplay, dental focused ( considering all the references to teeth and toothbrushes ), tooth fairy NPC, and children actually lose teeth, new teeth options in CAS, works similar to the facial hair system in HSY.
New world, three districts, city based ( similar to San Myshuno ).
What I’d like to see
New interactions, especially between children and parents/grandparents, child and child, jump ropes, hopscotch, tag anyone ???
More toys and activities for wee ones, feel like we’re already getting a playpen for newborns, but kids still desperately need something that isn’t an activity table… a tree house, bake stand, toy oven ( I get they can help with cooking, but it’d be cute if they could do it on their own too ), dolls that can be carried around ( named, kept into adulthood, worn states ??? ) playground equipment that isn’t one big monstrosity, would all be welcome additions.
Pranks!
Scrapbooking, or a customizable family album you can interact with, home movies? Sims can do so much with phones and cameras, but are stuck to a desk or using a drone to make videos they can’t even watch themselves ???
Elders eldering, retirement party, elders only lot trait, retirement home lot type, reminiscing ( add those cute little fx little ones get when imagining ), “check in” on children/grandchildren ( phone event that asks if they can stop by for quality time ) CAS and bb content specifically for them.

"I Had A Vision"
S.H. x Female Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Inspired by "I Had A Vision" from the musical Bright Star
Word Count: 2.9k
Summary: BRIGHT STAR AU where you come across Steve after 20 years of searching for your child and you want questions answered
Warnings: most of the dialogue is from the actual musical, takes place in the 40s, angst, mention of teen pregnancy, reference to the death of newborn baby, slight fluff, old lovers to ???
Additional Notes: I've never done an AU before and this was one that's been on my mind lately. I probably won't do one like this again unless you all really want me to, haha. I hope you enjoy it though! Likes, comments, and reshares are always appreciated :) let me know what you'd like to see next!
Tags: @robschneiderfan @thebackofspencers >:)
"Are these all of the files for May 15th, 1924?" You questioned, digging through a box that was brimming with files of previous children at the agency. "They are." The lady behind the desk confirmed, digging through a separate box. After finishing, she sighed and removed her glasses to give you a pointed look. "The laws are changing this year. These records won't be open anymore." The lady informed you, only filling you with more worry and dread.
"Would you like for me to help you search?" She asked, annoyance clear in her voice, "Again?"
Not really noticing her irritation, you smiled gratefully. "That would be so kind," You picked out a random file, flipping it open to search for your baby's name. "The baby was wearing a—"
"I know, a blue sweater." She cut you off, making your eyebrows furrow. Out of all of these boxes they had gone through, there was no baby with a sweater? There had to be images at least.
The mental image of the last time you saw your child was unbearable to think about. All you could remember was screaming and crying, pleading with your father to not take your baby away. Your baby's cries echoed in your ears as you snapped out of your thoughts, noticing that the clerk was watching you with a worried expression.
"Maybe in one of the photos?" You ask, reaching for another box to open. The woman gently placed her hand on top of yours, stopping you. "The photos are in black and white, Miss Y/L/N." She reminded you in your panicked state.
"Maybe he wasn't dropped off in Hawkins." Her words while caring were beginning to frustrate you. Your baby had to have been dropped off here. This was the place you were told he would be all those years ago. How was he not here? After all this searching you've been doing for the past twenty years, how could he not be there? No trace of him? Nothing?
"You should be trying some of the surrounding towns. Jeffersonville has an agency," The clerk informed you.
"He was dropped off here, Kate!" You snapped, startling the woman in front of you. Walking away from the desk for a minute, you placed your hands on your hips. "I'm sorry," You apologized, shoulders slumping. You needed to get ahold of yourself. Your emotions were all over the place, not only from a lack of sleep but from the frantic searching of files for any whereabouts of your child.
With your back to the clerk, you crossed your arms. "Kate, you remember anybody else checking for a baby left here on the same date?" You already knew the answer before she could open her mouth.
"Not that I recall. Should there be?" Kate questioned, you feeling your lip begin to quiver slightly. "I would think so." You sniffled, looking up at the ceiling to get control of your tears.
You heard her heels click clack as Kate approached you from behind. She gently placed her hand on your shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I know this is hard to hear, but maybe he didn't care as much as you." Her words were like a stab to the chest.
Of all the people who could've been searching for your kid, never did you expect him to be one of the ones who didn't. "If there's truth in this world, he cared." You argued, not wanting to believe negative things about him. "Somehow, he would've come looking."
Did you believe that though?
You weren't sure.
"It's only been me behind this counter for the last nineteen years," She told you, emptying what was left of your half full glass of hope. Sighing softly, you turned to her with a sad smile. "Well then," You cleared your throat and held out your hand to shake hers goodbye. "That's a puzzle I should've sorted out before."
After bidding farewell, you left the adoption agency and proceeded to walk back towards the train station, passing through a fancy neighborhood on your way. A small breeze blew by, causing you to take a second to just breathe.
Your walking came to a stop, your eyes closing as you focused on the sound of the wind as it blew through your hair. Although it was difficult, you needed to find some sort of calmness amongst the storm raging inside of you.
The sound of children laughing caused you to open your eyes again, looking behind you towards a grand brick home where two little girls were laughing and playing as they ran down the pathway. They ran right past you, causing a bittersweet smile to form on your face. This was all you wanted in life. To see it right in front of you and have it not be yours was heartbreaking.
Your plan for life had been a short and simple one. All you wanted was to find the perfect man to marry and give birth to two adorable children that you could raise in a home very much like the one you stood in front of now.
"LeAnn, Mary, wait for Momma!" A feminine voice from behind you sounded, a well dressed lady excusing herself as she walked past you. Your heart ached to the point that you felt slightly nauseous. Why couldn't this have been your life?
What did you do to deserve this sorrow?
Looking to the house one last time before you continued your path towards the train station, you found yourself frozen in place. Standing by the fence gate to the home, hand on the white picket fence was none other than the man you once longed for that future with.
He seemed just as surprised as you were, lips parted and eyes searching yours, almost as if asking himself if it was really you. Then came the recognition, and that damned smile that used to make you buckle at the knees over.
"Y/N? Is that really you?" He asked, slowly shutting the gate behind himself before taking a few steps towards you. He kept his distance, making you physically feel the years its been since you last saw him. With a weak smile, you raised your head strongly to meet his eye again.
"Why if it isn't Steve Harrington himself."
"Y/N, Young Y/N," He began causing you to shake your head. "Not so young." Which wasn't a lie. You had aged over the years as did he, as did everyone. "Young forever in my memory," His flirtatious manner never faded, not even after everything you both had been through.
Wanting to deflect him, you noticed the key in his hand. "This your home? It's nice," Your eyes traveled to the house once again, that sorrowful feeling slowly creeping back in. He was living the life the both of you dreamed of. He was living that life and moved on from you.
"I worked hard over the years," He shrugged, scratching at the slight stubble over his cheek. In a way, you were proud of everything Steve had accomplished. Memories of your teenage years came flooding back, memories of Steve telling you he wasn't sure he'd make it on his own.
Clearly, he was wrong.
"Those your kids?" You asked him, your head turning towards the path that the two young girls and mysterious woman had taken. "In a way," He tilted his head as he looked at you. "They're Nancy's."
"Always the babysitter." Your words made him chuckle a bit, you both remembering the younger years of your lives and how Steve was always stuck babysitting the kids of the town. Well, a particular six children anyway.
Your eyes traveled to his hands, seeming to relax a bit as you saw no wedding band. "You married?" You decided to ask anyway, knowing it would eat at you if you didn't.
You were becoming confident the longer you spoke with him. How you managed to not snap yet was beyond you. How could you even keep such a normal conversation after everything that happened between you both?
"No, I never married. Close a couple of times." He admitted, making you hum a bit in response. "I guess I would've heard," You spoke aloud, realizing that if he had gotten engaged it would have been the talk of the town just because of his parents wanting to own Steve's success. "I followed you."
His surprise while small, was clear as day before it quickly dissipated. "I know you never married. I paid attention." Steve practically challenged you, moving his hands to rest in the pockets of his pants so he could lean against the fence. "You always said that you'd become some big time writer and never had time for romance. You certainly wouldn't be walking alone if you had a husband." His forwardness made you scoff.
"You have been paying attention." You confirmed, and yet you were slightly surprised at how well he paid attention to what you did in life. "I always paid attention to you Y/N. If I didn't, I knew I was in trouble."
His words brought back bittersweet memories.
You had been discussing what you were gonna wear for the town dance in a few days, resting your head in Steve's lap as he read F. Scott Fitzgerald. After talking for a while, you noticed that he hadn't really been paying attention so you took his book and gently swatted him on the head with it.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked as you got up to storm off. Steve was quick to grab your hand, pulling you right back down into his lap so your noses were just grazing.
"I was going to go search for a boy who gave a damn about what I have to say," You smirked at him, crossing your arms. "A guy who's going to listen to you as you tell him you're going to wear your fanciest dress you own, which is your yellow sundress that your Daddy would smack you upside the head over for wearing, just because you want his input?" His words rendered you speechless, surprised that he had been paying attention after all.
"I'll be damned, you were paying attention." Your smile while shy, was a true one of adoration for Steve. "I'll never stop paying attention to you, Y/N." He promised, bringing his lips to your own.
"We were so young," You whispered as the memory faded out of your mind.
"We were," Steve agreed before his eyebrows furrowed. "But I wonder often, was I old enough to have behaved differently," His eyes cast towards the floor, "Better."
His mention of the past caused a spark to ignite inside you, making you stand straight as you were done playing catch up with him. "Yes." You watched him as you began to speak, "When I came to Hawkins today, it wasn't my intention to see you."
"I was at the hall of records with the same woman who has been there for twenty years." Your words seemed to have some sort of power behind them because he was beginning to lean more of his weight into the fence.
His eyes watered, the ghosts of his past seeming to come back to haunt him as you continued. "And I asked if anyone else had been looking for the whereabouts of our child and she said not one." You were steaming like a kettle over a fire. The heartbreak and pain seemed to resurface and it was clear you weren't letting him escape this conversation. "Not one person," You took a shaky breath, "Not you."
"I didn't, Y/N."
"And you never came to see me." You spat, chest heaving from the anger you felt. Steve abandoned you for twenty damn years and it was about time he explained himself. "Why?"
"Oh Y/N," He sighed, bringing his hand down his face from the sudden stress he felt. With what he was about to tell you, he knew you had every right to be angry. This was a day he had been dreading for so long. "Is it better to hope or to know?"
"Please," You practically told him to save whatever sympathy he could try and throw at you. You were done being looked at with pity.
Steve lifted himself off of the fence and took a step towards you. "After my father died, we discovered it was he who funded your scholarship." This spurred confusion inside of you, not sure where Steve was going with this and yet you were curious.
Steve's father never liked you. He was the reason you were searching for your baby. He told you he'd be bringing your son to an adoption agency in Hawkins to avoid any conspiracy against him or his son.
"Why?" You asked, knowing that Steve's father was incapable of emotion. Never would he fund a scholarship for you of all people just because he felt like being nice.
"To get you out of town." Steve gulped harshly, his words becoming shaky as he felt the tears brim in his eyes. He looked to you, taking the time to admire your features while he could.
"Guilt."
"Guilt?"
"Y/N," Steve gently lifted your hand, flinching as you withdrew it from his grasp. When his eyes met your own again, you found yourself looking at nothing but a broken man.
"On the train to Hawkins, somewhere in the night, my father took our son," Steve inhaled shakily, "and threw him off the train into the river below."
That was all you heard before it felt like your hearing was taken from your senses. Your vision began to cloud, stars overtaking as your legs grew weak.
You couldn't see a thing.
Steve caught you as you collapsed to the ground, slowly sitting with you as the tears brimmed your eyes.
Your son was dead?
You had been searching for nothing but a ghost for twenty years? The darkness you so desperately tried to push away did nothing but swallow you whole.
Steve buried his face into your shoulder as he cradled you, hiding his own tears. He waited for you to yell at him, to push him away, but all you could do was sit in shock as the tears began to fall.
"I—" Steve hiccups, "I had a vision. . . long ago of how our life would be," He squeezed you tighter, rocking you back and forth a bit as he spoke. If there was anything he's ever wanted it was a life with you, far different from the one he had with his parents. Never did he expect this to be the outcome.
"A happy little family, or bigger even. We'd be laughing on the front porch together watching our kids play. . ." He was talking and yet you weren't really listening. You didn't want to listen to what he had to say.
It wasn't like you didn't have that same dream. A family with Steve was all you had been wanting since you were sixteen. You once had that vision and it was ripped from you.
Any light in your life had now been dimmed immensely. Steve seemed to have noticed that you weren't listening because he lifted his head and simply watched your eyes as they shifted back and forth. You were like a blind woman, searching for nothing. He knew this was heartbreaking for you to hear. It was for him too when he heard it all those years ago from his own father.
"I can't speak of him," He whispered, which seemed to have grabbed your attention. Yet you didn't turn your head. You couldn't look at him. How could you after what he's been keeping from you for so long?
Gently, Steve reached forward and tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear. Even though you hated him in this moment, even though you couldn't stand to face him knowing he kept this hidden, you knew Steve. He would never keep something as serious as this if it wasn't for what he thought was good reason.
Slowly, you leaned your head towards his so your heads touched, depending on each other for support. "I don't know what pain it is you're feeling, but he hurt me too. In more ways than one." Steve whispered, beginning to stroke your hair.
You flinched, beginning to move away to which he followed you. He didn't want to lose you to the darkness. "If I could lift this veil of darkness. . . If I could see my way back to you, I would." His voice while shaky was quiet, not wanting to disturb your thoughts.
Steve gently turned your head to face his, noses barely touching. You finally looked him in the eye, lip trembling as he cupped your face in his hands. "I loved you so."
The male sniffled, moving back a bit from your words. Slowly nodding, he used the back of his hand to wipe away his tears. "I loved you too." He whispered, his hand that was cupping your face now moving to rest at the back of your neck.
He then gently leaned your head forward, placing a gentle kiss to your forehead. It was all he could do. It was all you would let him do.
You loved him. . . once.
Now, you weren't sure if you could ever see him the same way again.
THE END.

How to Date a Librarian - Chapter 1
Darkness filled the main bedroom of the Golds' pink Victorian, making Rumple shuffle uneasily through the space to find the edge of the bed. At three o'clock in the morning all of Storybrooke was silent and still, at least that was the case now that he'd managed to get Gideon back to sleep. Their newborn was an exceptionally needy being, wanting contact at all hours. He also had a powerful set of lugs. It was a miracle that none of their neighbors were complaining about the noise. Then again, they were probably afraid to say something, lest the terrible Dark One turn them into toads.
"Is he really asleep?" Belle’s gentle moan was muffled by the covers that piled up around her shoulders.
"Finally," Rumple assured her as he got into bed.
She snuggled close and let out a deep sigh. "Do you think he’s so uncomfortable because he can still see his past?"
"I doubt it." Rumple didn't want to think of that horror. No one should have to endure visions of the things Gideon had told him about, let alone someone so small and innocent. He felt cursed as a parent, forever unable to reach through some magical void and solve the problems of either of his children after he had created them himself.

A Burning Hill

by appa_ate_momo
When Zuko was thirteen, his father attempted to kill him by the command of Firelord Azulon, burning through half of his face with the fiercest flame he could conjure. When Zuko failed to die, Ursa begged for her son’s life in exchange for the Firelord’s. She fled with her children after delivering counterfeit poison to Ozai and they hid among the refugees of Ba Sing Se.
A baby was left at their door when Zuko was seventeen, from an encounter he could not recall. His mother wailed harder than the newborn infant when she found out about his work as an escort. He quit that day, and named his daughter Izumi.
At twenty-three, Zuko meets Katara and Sokka, who both fled their homes as children to seek refuge from the raids of their tribe. However, Zuko meets them in very different circumstances: Katara as a trainee at the strip club he works at, and Sokka as his daughter’s teacher at Ba Sing Se Primary School.
