Azure Blue - Cross/Echo <3

Maybe a different take on this prompt. Lots of guilt and heavy feelings.

Also, major spoilers for the season 3 finale, so if you haven't watched it, you might want to come back to this another time.

Azure Blue: What would they do if the other got hurt?

.

Overall, things turned out almost as good as could be expected after Tantiss. They could have gone much worse, Echo reasoned. For one, he could be dead, not that he didn’t see his life flash before his eyes as he took on the enhanced shadow clones. It would have been a decent way to go out. There were worse ways to die.

The prisoners could not have been freed, or he could have lost them all trying to free them. He was grateful to the ones who threw down their lives for one last fight, who put every ounce of strength into their final confrontation. Because of them, and the ones that survived, he was able to bring his squad home. And that was another thing. All of them survived. Hemlock was gone, the research destroyed, and Omega was finally free to be a child instead of a soldier fleeing for her life and watching over her shoulder for shadows lurking in corners.

All things considered, this mission was a success, but sadness and guilt weighed heavy in his chest, and for reasons that he could only explain as sympathy pains, his right arm ached something awful. It wasn’t often that Echo let himself be upset about missing half of his arm and most of his lower body. It wasn’t a sign of weakness, but a badge to prove what he had endured, what he had survived to fight another day. Most days, he was able to put aside any grief it brought him because he wasn’t less. It didn’t slow him down or destroy his resolve.

Until he looked at Crosshair.

Crosshair, who was new to this, who still reached for things with his dominant hand, who was learning how to cope with nothing where a hand used to be. Echo could see the pain in his eyes when he thought no one was watching, how he would squeeze his eyes shut and cradle his arm to his chest. His only solace was that there wasn’t a tremble anymore, but maybe that would have been preferable over the alternative.

A few weeks had passed since he’d gone to Pantora with Emerie, set up a meeting with Senator Chuchi to move things along with the clone rebellion. Just because they were able to take out a massive research facility and put a dent in the Empire’s plans, didn’t mean that they were out of the fight yet. There was still work to be done, but Echo couldn’t shake the weight. He needed to see Crosshair.

And so, here he was, only now that they were finally alone together, he couldn’t muster up anything to say to explain the sudden visit, the desperate need to see him. Crosshair never minded silent company, but Echo’s body language was screaming at the top of his lungs that he needed something and wasn’t offering any explanation.

“Don’t tell me you want out?” Crosshair gauged. His eyes raked Echo up and down as he crossed his arms, and Echo noted how he had to reach for his toothpicks with his left hand now. “You’ve never struck me as the type to quit.”

“I’m not giving up the fight,” Echo argued with a bit of bite that wasn’t meant to be aimed at Crosshair. He was frustrated with himself.

“Then why are you here, Echo? I know it’s more than missing Omega. You’ve gone for longer stretches of time without seeing her.” Crosshair pressed.

“Maybe I missed you,” he shot back. “Ever think of that?”

Crosshair sighed. This was getting them nowhere.

“…I came to apologize,” Echo said finally, quietly, barely above a whisper. Even Hunter would have had a hard time hearing him.

“For what?”

“I should have been there for you,” he rushed out. “I should have moved faster, searched harder, found Omega and the kids and got them out faster so that I could have prevented—”

Crosshair’s eyes widened when he realized what Echo was referring to, and he shifted so that Echo could see the empty space where his hand should be. “This…is not your fault, Echo.”

“You’ve been through enough,” he countered. “You shouldn’t have to deal with this, too. You shouldn’t have had to go through any of it, and I’m sorry.”

Echo’s eyes watered as their gazes met, and Crosshair couldn’t help the soft gasp at seeing him so vulnerable. He reached out for him with his remaining hand and tugged on his until they were flush, chest to chest.

“…I’m so angry,” Echo grit. “I know you’re a strong soldier, but no one should have gone what you went through, and I couldn’t stop it. I couldn’t find you—”

Thin, firm lips swallowed the rest of his words, and a tender hand wiped the stray tear that tracked down his cheek. Crosshair deserved better, in life and in a partner, but here he was, reassuring him that he was the one he wanted, that he was forgiven.

“You found me when no one else was looking,” Crosshair murmured against his lips. “You see what no one else can. You didn’t give up on me when I gave up on everyone. My hand is gone, but you’re here, Omega and the others are here. It was a small price to pay.”

Echo’s cheeks heated, and he cracked a shy smile despite himself, but it felt like the first real smile he’d given anyone in ages. “When did you become a man of many words?”

“I didn’t,” Crosshair chuckled and rested his forehead on Echo’s, “but if you need to hear that it wasn’t your fault, I’ll tell you every day.”

Anyone who has read the Kanan comic books knows Depa Billaba is almost a mother figure to her padawan Caleb Dume in those books. So I thought this commission of Depa & Captain Grey kissing and Caleb peeking in and calling her Mom would be funny.

Artist: Sophia Filsoofit

Instagram: @vivid.abyss

Check out her Instagram for more of her work and if your interested in a commission.

For the smut writing sentence starter:

"Is that how you usually get out of these situations? By fucking your way out of them?" Fox/Fives

If that interests you? :D

*tilts head this way* *tilts head that way*

This... This didn't come out really smutty but humorous with a dash of competence kink?

Warnings: Brief moment of violence towards a bound Fox. Not by Fives. I promise that.

** ** ** ** ** ** Fives grunted when his bound arms smacked painfully against the wall he had been thrown into. He nearly cracked his skull as well but only nearly. Still, with the pain radiating from his arms, Fives let himself slide down on the floor with a hiss.

He could hear the other trooper who had already been occupying the small room talk back to the hulking Devaronian that had tossed Fives like he was a sack of meilooruns.

" - unnecessary damage. There are other kriffing ways to get rough, you know. If you want a lesson, I'd be more than happy to give you one."

Fives lifted his head to see the Devaronian take a menacing step closer to the bound trooper, whose smile showed more teeth than was appropriate in polite company.

Then again, Fives mused as the thug got close enough to kick the lying vod. This was no polite company.

Fives winced when the Devaronian's boot came in contact with the other clone's stomach but Fives wasn't surprised to see the vod twist his body so that the impact was lessened. Still, it must've hurt like kriff because the vod wheezed painfully, curling up.

But what surprised Fives was the fact that when the trooper turned to look up at the Devaronian, the toothy smile hadn't budged an inch.

Actually, he looked even more feral than before.

"Harder, please," the vod purred, kriffing purred, and winked.

Both Fives and the Devaronian's jaws dropped and for a moment Fives feared that the thug would get mad. But it seemed that this ballsy (or unhinged) vod's actions took the Devaronian by such surprise that he actually stepped back with a look of disgust and instead spat on the trooper's face before turning around and left

The door slid close with a bang, the sound of the lock engaging following.

Still a little stunned, Fives watched the older clone squirm and heave himself into a sitting position because he was clearly a lot older than Fives. Even in the dimness of the room Fives could see the silver on his temples and the old scars on his face, one which cut through the left side of his mouth.

"Seems like someone needs to rethink their Kink List," the vod snorted as he used the wall as support and bent himself nearly in half so that he could wipe away at least some of the Devaronian's spit. "If I wanted to be spat at, I would've stayed on shift," he added with a mutter.

"Is that how you usually get out of these situations? By fucking your way out of them?" Fives blurted the first thing that came to his mind.

The other clone froze, almost as if he had forgotten Fives' presence.

Fives winced when the vod slowly unfurled himself, staring Fives dead in the eye.

"The kriff you just said?" he asked calmly, almost eerily so. The toothy grin from earlier was gone, replaced by a bland, professional expression that wouldn't have looked out of place on Commander Cody's face.

Fives felt his face heat up and he could only shrug awkwardly before tilting his head towards the locked door.

The vod's eyes flickered in that direction before returning back to staring at Fives. "The answer to your question, ARC trooper, is a big fat 'no'," he replied eventually after the longest seconds of Fives' whole life.

He was about to apologize, when the vod continued, almost nonchalantly:

"I'm more of the type who fucks around and finds out," he informed even as he tapped his left boot on the floor, springing out a small vibroknife.

Fives felt his jaw drop for the second time as the trooper twisted and shimmied his way until he managed to drop the vibroknife behind him and unlatch the cuffs. He stood up, rubbing his wrists as he walked to Fives.

"What about you, ARC trooper? From what I know, 501st boys are always ready to fuck around," the vod asked Fives, kneeling smoothly before him, the vibroknife hanging loosely in his fingers.

"How did you - ? Who are you?" Fives asked, baffled and he felt a different kind of twist in his guts when that toothy grin returned, the other trooper oozing a level of competence Fives had only seen the Alphas wield back on Kamino.

"If you help me find out who the kriff thinks it's smart to grab a pair of troopers in the middle of the street, I'll tell you my name," he suggested mischievously, and this time Fives swallowed, torn between leaning away and leaning forward. "If you find that fork-tongued bastard, make sure to punch his face in and I might do even more than just tell my name."

"Sir, yes sir," Fives gasped and for a second he forgot that he was still cuffed too, paindully yanking his arm as he had tried to salute.

"Good soldier," the vod praised, dropping voice into a low purr, and oh kriff, why did that make Fives' cock stir?

What had the trooper said earlier? Something about a Kink List?

Fives might just have to consult him on that too.

But first, he had a Devarionian to hunt down.

I need the antis to know that when they tag something as "not clonecest" or "not clone shipping" it shows up in the clonecest and clone shipping tags. In front of the exact people you didn't want to interact with it.

Maybe it's Tumblr being a functional website, or maybe once your art leaves your hands it's no longer only yours and people will always interpret art in the way it speaks to them.

Either way, antis won't see this because I'm sure they have me blocked, but heads up for those of you who are anti-clonecest. This has been a PSA from the devil's sacrament for those of you who don't wish to partake.

#tcw #tbb #the clone wars #the bad batch #clonecest #clone shipping #fandom wank #psa #Tumblr is a functional website #like I get what you are trying to do #but Tumblr is messing with you #most of what i've seen is bad batch related content #probably because the new season came out #new content = new fans #etc

WiP - Bad Batch - Commander Mayday & Crosshair That ship you’re not expecting that hits right in the feels. x’) I haven’t drawn anything for myself in a while, sorry for being so inactive. I still have a Ko-Fi if anyone wants to support me trying to make more. T^T What do you think, should I finish/colour it? EDIT: not yet finished, but I added an edited version with better facial structure for Crosshair (left the old version too, in case someone prefers that)

I don't suppose you'd be up for doing a Fox/Thorn from the heart list 💜 surprise kiss/impulsive kiss pls??? 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

This ended up being more of an "accidental kiss" but it's still definitely a surprise, lmao!

I don't usually play with the Corrie boys, so my sincerest apologies if I get them all wrong. I actually had to ask my Discord server what their personalities were because it's just not a group I find myself writing or reading anything about.

BUT! I wanted to give it a shot, and I hope my take on their relationship does them justice in your eyes!

.

“For the last time—”

“I know, I know,” Thorn threw his hands up in surrender, but the grin that curled on his lips couldn’t be wiped away. He leaned into Fox’s space, noses nearly brushing as he spoke, “I’ll make sure things are taken care of and that Senator Amidala gets the message from the Chancellor.”

Fox scoffed and ignored the rising flush on his cheeks as he turned back to the window looking out over the bustling city. This was ridiculous. He and his men should have been out there in the fight, getting dirty, knocking out clankers as they marched on. Instead, they were stuck on this sleepless planet as personal bodyguards and errand boys to Chancellor Palpatine. Honestly, he was more tired now than even after he’d had the floor wiped from under him in the hardest training simulation on Kamino, and this cheeky Commander wasn’t helping anything.

…Okay, he was. He trusted Thorn. There were few like him. He had the charisma of a man that had seen the galaxy despite hardly leaving Coruscant and the strength of a hundred shinies in just one fist alone. …Maybe Fox was exaggerating. Still, the point remained that he didn’t hate Thorn.

He just wished he would stop looking at him like that.

“Why are you still here?” He asked, feeling Thorn’s gaze raking over him.

Suddenly there was breath on the back of his neck, and Fox barely fought the shiver that raced up his spine. “Thorn—”

“You didn’t dismiss me, Commander.” Thorn’s voice was lower, deeper than it had been just a moment ago, wasn’t it?

It didn’t matter because Fox caught his gaze in the glass’s reflection, and he absolutely could not hide the way he’d bit his lip to keep himself from making a fool of himself. All he needed to do was give him permission to leave, right? Then he would be out of his hair for the time being and he could make himself another cup of caffe, or, if he was lucky, he could sneak in a five minute nap. That should suffice, shouldn’t it?

Fox stood a little straighter, then, “you’re dismissed.”

Thorn didn’t move.

“Did you hear me?” Fox questioned, glancing over his shoulder. He couldn’t actually see Thorn, but he could still feel him at his back, and the hairs on his neck stood as Thorn chuckled.

“Sorry, what was that?”

Fox grit his teeth. This man was unbelievable. Just who exactly did he think he was?

As Fox turned to face him and lean into his space as Thorn had done to him earlier, two things were made immediately obvious. For one, Thorn had been closer than he’d anticipated, and second, their lips were slotted together. It was a little awkward since Fox had had his mouth open to yell at him, but Thorn easily rolled with it, slid his tongue along his, had him whimpering before he could stop himself.

But that was where Fox stopped himself.

He jolted backward, putting himself against the window. In hindsight, it was only more of an invitation for Thorn to crowd him, and he did, stealing another kiss from him before he was able to come to his senses entirely.

“Thorn, s-stop,” Fox breathed, or maybe he didn’t. He was dizzy with heat, confusion written all over his face. Didn’t he just want this man gone? And now…

Thorn nodded, however, giving Fox the space he’d asked for without question. If Fox had his wits about him, he’d have seen the equally confused expression on Thorn’s face, and the flash of worry that lingered in his honey eyes.

“Fox—”

“You’re dismissed,” Fox repeated what he hadn’t been able to the first time and watched as Thorn hastily gathered himself, tossed his bucket back over his head, and left him alone.

Fox touched his lips, already missing the feeling of Thorn there.
