Hello! I just wanted to say that I love your works! Is it okay if I request fluff and Crosshair acting as a father rather than a lover???

Okay I hope I get this right. Crosshair being a Dad like figure for reader? Something new. Let me try it :D

Father Figure Crosshair x Reader - Know Your Worth

Crosshair who is kind of a fatherly figure to you, tries to teach you using a sniper rifle. Warnings: Implied difficult past of reader

"Kiddo stop tensing up like that, you can do better, I know you can."

Crosshair's snarky, husky voice admonishes you again.

He's been trying to teach you how to shoot a sniper rifle for a while now, but you're putting too much pressure on yourself, you don't really believe in yourself and he knows that.

"Kiddo, let go of the gun and come here."

You do as you're told and walk over to him with your shoulders and head drooping. He lifts your chin with a snap of his finger and gently but firmly shakes his head.

" You think up front that you can't do it, that's why it doesn't work, I can see it in your face, the look on your face, you're afraid to fail before you even try".

You look up at him critically and ask, "How would you know?"

Crosshair looks around as if to make sure no one was around then he said, "Happened to me once. I was too dogged with too little self-confidence."

"You?" you ask incredulously "Really?"

Crosshair nods and sighs "If you tell anyone I'll shoot you".

He sounds serious, but over his shoulder he throws you a conspiratorial wink as he walks over to your practice rifle and picks it up.

"You have the talent, I know that, you know all the tricks, you're just too tense. Know your worth, everything that happened before in your life before you ended up with me doesn't matter. You are who you are, here and now, not yesterday not the day before not last year. You can do a lot more than you give yourself credit for."

You blink, swallow and look uncertainly to the side, then back up into his face.

"Why do you believe in me?"

Crosshair chews on his toothpick and finally says after a moment's thought, "Because you deserve it and because you need me to. You need someone to help you understand yourself, that's the problem I had too."

He gently but firmly grabs your shoulder and says: "Let's take a break, have a drink, relax the nerves, then we'll start a new attempt".

Looking up at him, you see something rare, a real smile. He doesn't show that to many, usually not even to his brothers. He is introverted, but towards you he is somehow different, he feels responsible, you mean something to him and he lets you feel that in his own way again and again.

You have developed a connection to each other, something that you would never have thought at the beginning when you first met him.

Maybe part of him his making up for so many things he missed in his life, through you.

"Are you coming?"

His voice snaps you out of your thoughts and you hurriedly follow him into the shade of a palm tree where he has a cooler packed with drinks and snacks for the two of you.

After your break in the shade, you start a new attempt, you don't want to disappoint him and you tense up again, miss the shot and miss the target. Crosshair doesn't scold you, he doesn't get loud and he doesn't leave you standing there, as you expected.

He speaks calmly: "Forget about me for a moment, you don't have to prove anything to me. Just breathe deeply and think about nothing, just the metal of the gun in your hands, the touch, the pressure, the weight, the target in front of you and your breathing. Block out everything else, completely."

You aim again but hesitate and look at him.

"Take your time" he says more patiently than you expected him to "Take your time to let go of everything around you".

You look through the scope again, aiming, listening to your own breathing, feeling the rifle in your hands, the coolness of the metal slowly warming through your fingers, the point where the rifle is propped against your shoulder. Finally, you are alone with the gun and your target, you pull the trigger and hit the bullyeye.

You can't believe it and beam all over your face as you look at Crosshair.

He smiles: "I told you you could do it, never forget your worth. You are more than your past, more than others may give you credit for, Kiddo."

The difference between Papa Hunter and Cross’buir:

-

Hunter: When you’re holding a baby and they lay their head on you.>>>

Crosshair: When you’re holding a baby and they randomly jerk their head to do a backflip out of your arms towards certain doom.

Tactical vest time…and now it’s Daddy Warcrimes Crosshair!

I’ve never drawn a rifle like this, but I figured if anyone was going to be armed, it would be Mr PewPew here.

I also did what I should have done with Tech and given him some Belter tattoos. Including one that matches the ones Dr Tanke Drummer gets for family members (he gets adopted by her and her spouses at the end of Far Past the Ring) .

Do you ever just want validation or affection of some sort from a person that doesn't even exist?

Like, do you ever see a fictional character as a lover, friend, sibling, or parental figure for reasons that you might not even know of, but those reasons are still valid?

Do you ever fear that people will judge you and think of you as a weirdo or a freak for seeing a made up character the way you do? For becoming so emotionally attached to them that you'll be judged for it and told that it's wrong and you shouldn't think that way.

Do you ever get self-conscious when talking or posting about it because you feel that it isn't something super common and therefore you think it might be wrong?

Do you ever want to just be loved romantically or platonically or familially, etc, by a certain character, but part of you feels like they wouldn't like you to begin with?

Do you ever wonder if this is maybe a coping mechanism or something for something that happened in the past?

Do you ever just feel safe thinking about that character, and how much safer you would feel if they were actually with you? How badly you want to be with them and feel comforted, but you can't because they don't even exist.

I feel that way a lot.

I love you bad Bach one shots can you do one of the bad Bach and how Thay are good farther’s to there chrilden as babies

Happy to read this! :)) Thank you! Sure I can. Such a sweet ask :)

The Bad Batch - Being A Dad HC's x Reader

Hunter

He is a real Dad. Hunter loves being a father. Even though he was a little scared at first not to be up for the challenge, he dives in and quickly feels right at home with being a Dad. He is all you could ever hope for from your baby's father.

Feeding, cradling and cleaning the baby will soon be a beloved routine for him. Whenever he is not on missions he loves to take care of everything. Hunter doesn't want to miss anything. Every little thing he might miss because of working is a real bummer for him. The first smile, the first time the baby grabs something or makes distinct noises or starts to crawl, he want's to experience it all.

He'll ask you tons of questions every time he comes back from a mission. Hunter want's to make sure he really didn't miss anything. The first time your child makes a sound that sounds even remotely like the word "Daddy" makes him cry with joy.

Echo

Much like Hunter, he is a natural at being a Dad. Taking care of the baby is a privilege not a chor or task. Echo is so proud of being a father. It's something he never would have thought would be possible. A family of his own.

It's the first time you hear him humm or sing a song, when he tries to cradle the little one to sleep. Echo is showing the baby around a lot, he want's everyone to see that he is a Dad now and how beautiful his child is.

"Well, look at the mother. It's not a surprise is it?"

Echo is so proud and happy and immensly greatful to have this family with you. It makes him feel whole again, for the first time since the citadel.

Wrecker

He is super careful, because he is so huge and the baby is so super tiny. Wrecker is a little scared at first to hurt the child, but you'll show him that you trust him and that you know he can do this.

"Wrecker you've always been so sweet, caring and careful with me too. With Omega. I know this feels different, but you can do this, I know you can"

And indeed he can and his face when he realizes it is priceless. You've never seen Wrecker happier before. Even though he is huge and his voice is so deep no matter how much he tries to talk sweetly, the baby isn't scared at all. Wrecker is full of love for this little human being, the baby can sense that.

He'll help you with everything, but he will never bath the baby alone. He is just to scared to do something wrong.

Tech

He is proud and prepared and still scared as hell. Tech knows everything there is to know about taking care of the baby, he has everything he needs, even special gadgets he invented himself. Still, he is nervous like hell the first time he changes diapers, feeds and baths the baby.

But this fear will go away fast. As soon as he has a routine, there is this strong feeling, something new.

"I'm a father now. I'm a Dad", he says and looks at you with a solemn expression.

Tech has a family of his own now. The realization is deep and intense. It feels wonderful. He feels content. This is natural and perfect, more than he ever hoped for.

He will always be a loving, caring and protective father. Tech will come up with new gadgets and toys for the baby almost every day.

Crosshair

He is aching. Crosshair is scared down to the bone throughout the whole pregnancy and when the baby is born, he feels desperate. He never planned to become a father. But now it happened. His heart aches because he feels a new kind of love, but he is so afraid of all these new things, feelings and responsibility.

It takes him a good while to overcome this fear and really interact with the child. He needs your help, to believe in himself, to believe that he is capeable of being a good father.

And he actually is. But he needs your help to make a connection with the baby and his fatherly feelings.

As soon as he is overcoming this fear, he'll be a sweet Dad, but overprotective. He wont let any strangers hold the baby or get anywhere near it. Even his brothers have to beg him.

However, he is not very enthusiastic about changing diapers, he tries to avoid it as often as he can. But everything else he does very gladly, feeding, rocking and bathing is no problem at all.

🌹you are absolutely melting my heart! You rock!

🥲Omg you spoil me. Thank you, I appreciate this. <3

—

“Let Daddy take your backpack, Asher,” Crosshair spoke softly as he relieved the Ramser’ika of his old pack he’d consummated on countless missions. He never thought he’d be passing it down to his offspring, much less putting it to use as a starter backpack for preschool. He slung the weight of his past over his shoulder and took Asher’s hand while Dee took his other.

Crosshair no sooner led them off the school premises before he was bringing Asher aloft atop his shoulders, the toddler giving a little shriek of laughter and a cheer; clearly pleased with the new vantage point. Little Sniper through and through.

Crosshair grinned to himself.

“I thought big boys were supposed to walk home from school?” Dee asked incredulously, though she was sharing her husband’s sentiment.

“You don’t have to be a big boy whenever you’re around Daddy, Asher,” Crosshair cocked his head as best he could to regard his small son above. “I’ll always protect you.”

Asher nestled his face sweetly on top of his papa’s head at that.

My redneck neighbor Doug on 'The Solitary Clone'

Oh boy, a Daddy Warcrimes episode, happy happy joy joy!

Here it is, Doug's review of 'The Solitary Clone' or, as he calls it, 'Daddy Warcrimes Goes To Texas'.

Nothing much to say...enjoy, you lot. Doug liked this episode, but he likes Daddy Warcrimes the same reason I enjoy characters like the Joker and Daemon Targaryen: I AM NEVER BORED.

CW: Daddy Warcrimes do what he do and Doug narrates it. Need I say more? Oh and if you're from Texas, I apologize ahead of time. Doug shreds the Lone Star State something bad in here.

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

Oh boy, we arrive at some dry-ass dump. It’s gross and there’s corn and everyone seems a little off. Must be Oklahoma.

Wait, there’s peaky mountains, must be Texas. Didn’t know Texas was in Star Wars but whatever.

Well, here’s the Empire, but wait! This dump is run by an angry lady with a bucket on her head dressed like a hippie beekeeper. I’ll call her Beekeeper Bitch.

Anywho, looks like Beekeeper Bitch is holding the government officials hostage today, which is what they do for fun in Texas I guess, besides make barbeques and do weird shit at football games. I hate A&M so much.

Now, here’s Daddy Warcrimes, having a nice nap in what looks to be the broom closet at my job where the junior engineers always end up banging each other at least once a week. I’m surprised there’s no bleach in there. Jeez, Daddy Warcrimes, no blanket?

Poor Daddy Warcrimes, trying to make friends with the other dudes at lunch and no one wants to go near him because he was forced to sleep in the Dirty Shag Closet. At least the clone cafeteria has turkey legs like Ren Faire. I wonder if it’s because Daddy Warcrimes crashes where the younger employees screw each other all day and there’s stains on the walls no one wants to talk about. Oh well.

Oh, now we gotta see MBA-Rob. No turkey legs for Daddy Warcrimes today. I hate this little asshole, of course he’s dicking around on his stupid assed phone while Daddy Warcrimes waits and fantasizes about killing and smoked meats.

No one will swipe right on you, Rob, you’re unemployed and gave your last girlfriend an itchy crotch. Or is it left? Up and down? How does that thing where you meet ladies work?

32 rotations…wtf is this Waterworld shit? How come Daddy Warcrimes isn’t burned to a crisp? How did he survive on that dump? Damn, the man must be part roach, I guess, wow.

Now he’s got his sweet Johnny Cash armor back on, just looking at him makes me wanna watch that western robot show with Ed Harris again. He’s hanging out in front of that script that possessed Linda Blair back in the day. Does Pazuzu exist in this universe?

Oh, shit, it’s Obi-Wan’s Boyfriend! What in the what what. Glad to see he’s still around! Where’s his gold armor? Did he get it after Obi-Wan…you know, that makes me too sad to think about. I’m sorry, Obi-Wan’s Boyfriend, that must have been rough on you.

Well, looks like he and Daddy Warcrimes are off! Where? They’re off on a charming romp to squash some rebellion!...wait, is this a good thing or a bad thing? Who are we rooting for? I’m confused. When did Star Wars get confusing? Am I old now?

Ya know who's not confused? Daddy Warcrimes! His job is pointing, shooting, killing. Which, I get, man. I worked in the oil industry. Speaking of which, they’re back in Texas, but where? Are they in Marfa? This looks like one of the shittier towns in West Texas, outside of El Paso. Are they making meth? Is the Empire the DEA?

You know, this place is quite nice for someone like Daddy Warcrimes. Second amendment respected, the locals spoke in grunt, and smoked meats for everyone! Speaking of Texas, I wonder if there’s a Buc-ee’s inside, and the Empire wants to take over their jerky emporium, and that’s where this mess came from.

I miss Buc-ees, I could go with a hot brisket sandwich and some Beaver nuggets, get some red velvet fudge for later.

No wonder Daddy Warcrimes is shooting everyone, the man is hungry!

God, DAMN, Daddy Warcrimes waiting and staying perfectly still while he’s getting shot at and the TANK holy SHIT he is a BAD ASS but a BAD PERSON and I am CONFUSED BUT I LIKE IT?

("Meat Muffin, you got a doctorate, diagnose me, what is this feeling where I’m confused but happy?"

"It’s just being happy, Doug, and my doctorate is not in psychology.")

And those crap robots are shooting at them again, but are these good guy robots? Didn’t we spend the last few years hating on them? Oh wait, they’re reprogrammed for defense…oh.

Have I ever told you how much I hate those damn things? They look like vacuum cleaners, if someone made art of a vacuum cleaner that they wanted to be human. Non sexy vacuum cleaners.

("Doug, when did you ever think vacuum cleaners were sexy?"

"Never, don’t know what you’re talking about.")

Why does this feel like an FBI siege? Is this based on Waco? Shit man, I was in the navy when that happened. This ain’t good. This really is Daddy Wacrimes's Texan adventure, isn't it?

But what is good is Daddy Warcrimes and his GUN. Look at those trick shots like the man is yelling ‘SKEET’ and ‘PULL’ like you wouldn’t believe. I bet he’s the type of person who throws a tantrum at the ice cream store because his favorite flavor is ‘bullets’ and it ain’t on the menu.

Look at him and Obi-Wan’s boyfriend just going up and killing robots left and right. He ain’t good, but that ain’t bad. Which is…good or bad? Ah, whatever, I like this damn show.

And there’s Beekeeper Bitch bitching at the Empire’s Bitch. Those couches look comfy.

Daddy Warcrimes is coming your way! When she’s not wearing her helmet, Beekeeper Bitch looks just like my niece! Wow! Oh, now I don’t know, is she bad? Good? She wants independence for her people, maybe Obi-Wan’s Boyfriend and Daddy Warcrimes can listen to her?

Oh, shut up, Empire Bitch, no one cares. ‘Execute her’ uh shut up, your hat sucks and don’t you know that Obi-Wan’s Boyfriend is a free-thinking MAN who might just up and take a DUMP on your LAWN.

Well, no. Damn, Daddy Warcrimes, you cold-assed sonofabitch.

‘Hang her body in the square’, what in the hell, this is dark, Dr Meat Muffin, are you letting your sweet girls watch this show? One of them’s a baby, I hope not.

(I was 100% watching this with my 2 year old, it was on Disney, what do you expect- Dr. MM)

Welp, Daddy Warcrimes is back where he started, chilling in the cafeteria and his new best friend is his helmet. Wonderful. The helmet will at least make eye contact with him.

Back to MBA-Rob being a dick to everyone and now Obi-Wan’s Boyfriend has run off. Probably to drink himself into a stupor and cry in a shower somewhere. I know I would, too.

We really didn’t learn anything in this episode, did we? Well, I learned that Daddy Warcrimes is living a confusing life, never gets to eat and has to sleep in the Dirty Shag Closet. But at least he's got his helmet and his gun and MBA-Rob.

I know he’s bad, but he’s good at that, which is bad…but for me, it’s good?

Tech as a father Chapter 41

Tech thinking he is really logical, infact just an idiot in love. I was thinking if that is typical for him, and in the end with all considered. We all act like total fools when in love.

Masterlist

Chapter 41: Logically subtle

Tech diligently monitored the supplies and ensured everything was organized for the temple's reconstruction. He double-checked his work, meticulous as always, and confirmed that the essential items were readily available for the Jedi and their mission. Before heading back in the Havoc Marauder for a moment.

Afterwards, he took a moment to make himself look more presentable again, adjusting his hair to its usual impeccable state. As he glanced over at Orion, now dressed in warmer clothes, he couldn't resist a soft smile. Tech was keenly aware of the importance of keeping Orion close, and he placed the infant carefully in his carrier, securing him snugly. With the carrier comfortably settled against his chest, Tech moved over to a quiet corner of their makeshift kitchenette and prepared a few formula bottles. His fatherly instincts were as sharp as his technical skills, and he wanted to ensure that Orion would have everything he needed when he woke up. Tech might be a clone, but his dedication to the wellbeing of his son was unwavering.

Tech meticulously inspected the supplies, even though he knew the chances of theft were slim. Hunter's orders were clear, and Tech was committed to following them. He moved through the rows of materials, his attention divided between the calculations in his datapad and ensuring the supplies were secure. And Tech is aware why Hunter told him to do it, without the time to switch his rhythm. Hunter wanted to keep him and Amanda apart, logically it made sense. But that does not mean Tech likes it.

Orion remained peacefully asleep in his carrier, snuggled comfortably against Tech's chest. Tech had removed the upper part of his armour to make it more comfortable for the infant, a small but meaningful adjustment that demonstrated his devotion as a father. As he crunched the numbers on his datapad, Tech considered various factors that could affect the duration of the temple's reconstruction. He factored in the available resources, the number of workers, and the extent of the damage. His analytical mind was always at work, seeking to optimize the efficiency of their mission and provide the best possible outcome. Tech couldn't help but explore every avenue, even as he meticulously checked the machinery used for the temple's reconstruction. His analytical mind constantly sought to optimize processes and find ways to improve efficiency, but today, his motivations were tinged with a more personal desire.

As he examined the equipment, he pondered the possibility of extending their efforts to spend more time with Amanda. The thought of having a few more precious days with her and Orion filled him with longing. He knew it was a selfish wish, considering their duty, but he couldn't help himself. Tech's commitment to his squad was unwavering, but his heart was divided between his responsibilities and his love for Amanda and Orion. As he continued to tinker with the machinery, he couldn't shake the hope that he might find a way to grant himself just a bit more time with them. And it was simple to tweak the machines, making them a bit slower in general. He can always argue, in his logical way, about to delate the wear and tear.

When the sun breaks through, Tech finally passes his brothers, to get some rest himself. Tech carefully cradled Orion in his arms, waking him gently. The infant stirred and yawned, his bright blue eyes blinking sleepily. Tech knew it was time for him to eat, and he was always diligent about ensuring Orion's needs were met. As he settled down in his bunk, Tech prepared the breastfeeding pillow, creating a cosy spot for Orion to nurse. He removed some of the layers of warm clothing he had dressed Orion in, making sure his son was comfortable during the feeding. Tech cherished these quiet moments with Orion, where it was just the two of them. Orion latched onto the bottle, and Tech watched him with affectionate pride. His mind may have been filled with calculations and strategies, but in these moments, all that mattered was the bond between a father and his son. As Orion ate, Tech couldn't help but smile at the tiny, wiggling fingers that occasionally reached out to touch his face. It was a simple, beautiful connection that he cherished above all else.

Tech expertly guided Orion through the post-feeding routine. After burping him gently, ensuring that Orion was comfortable. Then, he gently scooped his son up and placed him on the changing surface. Tech efficiently changed Orion's diaper, making sure everything was clean and dry. He was meticulous in his care for his son, always ensuring that Orion was comfortable and content. Despite the challenges and uncertainties of their lives, these moments of fatherhood were the ones that brought him the most joy and purpose. Orion's tiny hand grasped at his finger, and Tech couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of love and protectiveness.

As Tech settled back into his bunk with Orion, he couldn't help but dwell on the delicate balance they were trying to maintain. He knew that Amanda should have the opportunity to experience these tender moments with Orion, just as he did. However, the ever present threat of the Kaminoans' suspicions weighed heavily on his mind. Tech was well aware that the Kaminoans were already suspicious, especially given Amanda's close presence. They seemed to be narrowing in on her as a potential mother. The risk was simply too great. They couldn't afford to expose Amanda or Orion to any more danger.

He looked down at Orion, who was now starting to drift back to sleep, his tiny fingers curled around Tech's. Orion succumbing to a full belly nap. Tech couldn't deny that he yearned for Amanda to share these moments with Orion, but he also knew that keeping them safe was their top priority. For now, he would continue to be the one who cared for and protected their son, even if it meant sacrificing moments that should rightfully belong to both of Orion's parents. Tech carefully hung his datapad on a fixture within arm's reach, ensuring it was secure. He had mixed feelings about using a screen to occupy Orion, but given the circumstances, it was a necessary choice. As he activated a technical show, he chuckled at the irony of it all. He, who was often so absorbed in his datapad, was now using it to keep Orion entertained.

With Orion starting to drift back to sleep, Tech couldn't help but think about the night before. Orion had slept peacefully through his watch duty, which was a relief. Now, as he settled Orion down for another nap, Tech began to pre plan for any possible disruptions during his rest. He knew that if Orion woke up, he needed to be ready to tend to his son's needs. Especially as Orion did sleep through the night.

Tech took a moment to glance at the show on the screen, making sure it was engaging enough to keep Orion occupied. Then, he lay down on his bunk, his senses attuned to any sound or movement from his son. Balancing parenthood with their precarious situation was no easy task, but Tech was determined to protect Orion and keep him as safe as possible. As Tech drifted into sleep, he found himself in a comfortable position on his side, one hand resting gently on Orion's little stomach. It was a soothing gesture, a way for him to stay connected to his son even in slumber. The rise and fall of Orion's breaths beneath his touch provided a sense of reassurance that everything was as it should be.

In this tender moment, Tech's mind began to relax, allowing the weariness of their situation to temporarily fade away. His breathing synchronized with Orion's, and for a while, they shared a peaceful sleep, father and son together in their quiet corner of the bunk area. Despite the challenges and uncertainties they faced, moments like these served as a reminder of the bond between them, a bond that Tech cherished more than anything else in the galaxy.
