Deserved

Pairing: Crosshair x Gen!Reader

Summary: Crosshair wakes up next to you.

Warnings: None. A lil’ fluff. A lil’ angst. Spoilers for S3.

WC: 300

A/N: I have so many feelings after the season premiere! Crosshair is making me act up. I wrote this little drabble bc I love him. Enjoy!

Crosshair opened his eyes, expecting to see the dark durasteel ceiling of his cell.

As his eyes focused in the early morning light, he quickly realized he was somewhere else. The pillow beneath his head was soft. His back was comfortable on a mattress, not in pain from the hard cot he spent his sleeping and waking hours on in the detainment facility.

A soft sound broke the silence, and Crosshair turned his head.

You were asleep, peaceful and beautiful, your chest slowly rising with each breath.

That’s right. He was here. With you.

Crosshair let out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding. He could feel the familiar panic and anxiety in his gut fading. Seeing you next to him brought him back to reality.

Crosshair slowly lifted a hand, ever so gently brushing his fingers across your cheek.

You smiled, mumbling his name, but didn’t wake.

Your skin was warm and soft. You grounded him.

His fingers trembled slightly, but not from his anguished memories. His hands have steadied ever since being with you, though not fully gone.

Instead, they trembled with emotion. How could someone so perfect, so forgiving, so strong, be next to him every morning when he wakes.

He still didn’t think he deserves this, or deserves you.

He knows it’s a stupid thought, but Crosshair is still amazed daily that you continue to stand by him.

Crosshair had accepted his fate, ready to die in the Empire’s grasp, to rot away in a cell as they took what they needed from him.

All it took was someone to believe in him. Omega didn’t give up on him. Neither did his brothers. Neither did you.

Crosshair pressed his lips to your forehead, shifting himself closer to you, to feel your body fully against his.

You wrapped your arms around him, uttering something before nuzzling into his chest, quickly falling back to sleep.

Crosshair closed his eyes, focusing on both of your breathing. Crosshair felt himself slipping into a dream, a pleasant one filled with your warmth. His last thought before succumbing to sleep was maybe he did deserve this. Maybe it was time to forgive himself.

But that could wait until later. Right now, he just wanted to be held by you.

WIP Sunday

Welcome to a special edition of WIP Sunday! With my WIP Poll currently up, I'm going to be posting a line or two from each of the four WIPs listed on it.

Teacher AU:

“Koro, are you—” “Boy, if you ask me if I’m sure one more time, so help me,” Jaster cuts him off calmly, not looking up from where he’s currently trying to tame Boba’s hair.

Restaurant AU:

Obi-Wan Kenobi sets his comm status to out-of-Temple the moment he receives confirmation that his padawan’s transport to Naboo has cleared atmo, grinning to himself only a little as he does so. With Anakin off-planet guarding the good Senator Amidala while she takes her yearly turn on the bounty circuit, Obi-Wan has a couple of days to himself—and he knows just how to spend them.

Werewolf AU:

Taking Kamino was never going to be the hard part of all this--Cody had known at least that much early on. For all that they produced soldiers for anyone with deep enough pockets to pay for them, they themselves were not, and it had become increasingly clear to Cody as she grew that their control was heavily reliant on her and her siblings not daring to test it. Cody dared.

War Widow AU:

His mind grinds to a halt. Cody stares at the wall opposite him, the rest of his brain going to static while he idles on the thought he’s gotten stuck on. “Bones,” he says. “I—have an idea.” Bones blinks. “Well, shit.”

#'Koro' is basically a Māori diminutive for grandfather btw #at least from what i was able to find when i was researching #just in case anyone was wondering #wip sunday #wips #my wips #codywan #teacher au #restaurant au #werewolf au #war widow au

A discussion with @milfcutlawquane and @british-hero gave way to an AU where Echo ends up dying early on after Clone Force 99 escapes from Kamino with Omega.

Rather than stay dead however, Echo attaches himself to Omega's trooper doll (which she customizes to look like him) and discovers he's not the first clone to cling to the living world out of sheer stubbornness. Not one to leave a brother behind, Echo then begins rescuing some ghostly brothers which Omega then makes little doll bodies for.

Kenfetti Beauty and the Beast AU

it all began on Galidraan

Jango and his Haat'ade were getting ready to leave the planet in a hurry after spotting the Governor secretly meeting with Kyr'tsad

as they were finishing their packing, they were approached by a dark, hooded figure who introduced himself as 'Sifo-Dyas', a Jedi summoned by the Governor to arrest them

Jango immediately decided to call bullshit and started shooting, backed up by the rest of the company

which is when the disguised Dooku activated his Sith Trap Card

Jango's armor lost its color as the rest of the crew disappeared

when Jango demanded that 'Sifo-Dyas' tell him how to break the curse, the 'Jedi' then smugly informed Jango that the only way would be to kill the entire Jedi Order, for as long as they stood together there would be power behind the spell

Jango is then left to stew in his guilty grief for a few years, letting the anger and resentment for the Jedi grow into hatred, before he was approached by a Sith by the name of Darth Tyrannus, who had heard a rumor that Jango had a grudge against the Jedi Order, and would like to hire him for a very specific venture

but first, he needed Jango to explain the nature of his grievance against the Order as part of the 'vetting' process

after listening to Jango's account, Tyrannus 'theorizes' that the Jedi destroyed the Haat'ade's bodies and have been holding their souls for power

(which is actually somewhat accurate, if you replace 'Jedi' with 'Sith')

and then laid out the outline of the Kamino project

he emphasizes that the clones would be soulless vessels, who might prove suitable hosts for the freed souls of the Haat'ade if their plan succeeds and Jango is able to enact their revenge by killing the Order

so Jango agreed

ten more years pass, with Jango working alone on Kamino with the scientists to create their perfect clone army

and then a Jedi Knight landed on Kamino

Jango duly reported this development to Tyrannus, who ordered him to lead the Jedi to Geonosis to kick off the war

Jango's attempt to flee the planet to lead the Jedi was unsuccessful however, explosively so: both of their ships were destroyed in their fight as Knight Kenobi caught up to him a little too early, stranding them both on Kamino with little ability to communicate with their allies off-planet

they both figure that those allies will come to investigate/rescue them soon, with Jango secretly confident that Tyrannus or whoever he would send to check will reach them first since he knows where they are and was expecting him to arrive shortly on Geonosis

so they reached an uneasy truce to tolerate each other until that time, and that they will stay within sight of each other throughout that time to preempt any betrayal

Kenobi, of course, insisted on continuing to investigate the creation of this clone army and its purpose, dragging an annoyed Jango along with him as he interviewed many of the scientists and started getting to know the clones themselves

these conversations left Jango increasingly suspicious of Tyrannus' assertions that the clones are soulless, leaving him to wonder how much of the rest of his claims and promises were also lies

and then Obi-Wan uncovered the true purpose of the army, and the nature of Jango's own vendetta

and Obi-Wan revealed the fact that Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas has been dead far longer than the Haat'ade have been gone

and Jango realized that he'd been used, manipulated from the start

which was, of course, the moment that Tyrannus finally arrived on Kamino to tie up the loose end that Kenobi represented, also serving the purpose of a provocation for the Republic to enter war with the Separatists after Count Dooku killed a Jedi after 'uncovering' that the Order had been building an army for the Republic

but Jango had come to the realization that everything he thought he knew about the 'Jedi Curse' was a lie

that the Haat'ade were long gone, almost certainly dead

and that Obi-Wan, whose integrity he'd grown to trust, had only ever tried to help him find the truth

so when Dooku won the duel against Obi-Wan, he intervened and killed Dooku instead

Obi-Wan immediately recognized what Jango had done for him: he'd just killed the only hope he'd had of saving his people, or even finding out what had really happened to them

Obi-Wan pulled Jango into Keldabe Kiss, to show his trust and gratitude for saving him

and there's no love truer than that: saving someone at great cost to yourself, and then receiving love and trust in return, no need for romance

and there's no stronger curse breaker than true love's kiss

as the color bleeds back into Jango's armor, there are suddenly a lot of fully armored Mando'ade in the halls around them

once they all recovered a bit, they all stole the clones together to help prevent the war from kicking off and move to Mandalore to advise (heckle) Obi-Wan's ex, the Duchess Satine, and end up uncovering and chasing off several less savory (cough corrupt cought) members of her government on her behalf, starting with Governor Pre Vizsla, Senator Tal Merrick, and even Prime Minister Almec

and they all lived happily ever after

This is part of the @cloneficgiftexchange. The person I got was: @captainpains

I hope you enjoy some Victory Ball AU with Captain Rex

Prompt used: "You think you're hilarious, don't you?" "Yes, yes I do."

Warning(s): a touch of angst if you squint, fluff, shenanigans

Word Count: 836 Words

@locitapurplepink, @burningfieldof-clover, @writing-positivelyexisting, @rain-on-kamino

Your bottom lip remained captured between your teeth as the speeder came to a stop. The building looming over the city streets twinkled in the night. A beacon for personnel to gather while dressed to the nines. A hand curled around yours, smoothing over your knuckles.

“Ready?”

“Rex, are you sure?”

The captain's smile offered slight relief to your nerves, “I'd have the pleasure of escorting no one else.”

The corners of your lips twitched as your cheeks gained some warmth. Your free hand tracing over the fabric of your formal attire. The door slid open with a whispered hiss. The low hum of chatter from the sea of dress uniforms accented with their partners for the evening wrapped in shades that match the colors typically adorning their armor.

He extended his hand to stabilize your ascent. His gentle grip a tether ushering you into the bright lights and décor. Once inside, the air carried an electricity of restless troopers charged up from crowded flights to Coruscant and enough spirits to drown a sarlacc.

“Where t-”

“Rex!”

If they were not out in the open, the captain would have attempted to drag you away from the grinning trooper closing in. The captain sighed and swept a hand over his close kept blonde hair before the other trooper was in ear shot.

“Cyare, this is Arc Tr-”

“Just Fives is fine,” He greeted, extending a hand for you to shake.

His smile growing as his eyes went from your face, to the captain's and back to you.

“So this is the lovely creature that has the captain's eye.” Fives chuckled, “Thanks by the way. Rex would let us go early any time you called.”

A giggle slipped past your lips at taking in Rex's pout, “Glad I could help.”

“He's got good taste. You look better in our colors than we do.”

Rex's arm curled around your waist as he eyed his subordinate, “I couldn't agree more.”

Footsteps skittered against the polished floor. The soft squealing of dress shoes on the surface in an attempt to slow down.

“Fives!” huffed another trooper, “Hardcase...trying to...outdrink...big guy...from 99.”

The arc trooper raised a brow, “This I gotta see,” He shot a parting grin, “You two have fun, alright?”

The pair of troopers took their leave with Fives launching a two fingered salute. The captain shook his head with the hint of a chuckle as soon as the pair of troopers were out of earshot.

“They'll be the death of me.” He murmured, soon offering a smile.

“Shall we?”

With your own smile creeping across your lips, you crossed the threshold entering a space set aside for the main event. The dance floor changing hues as droids adjusted lights to music. A throng of troopers and dates alike crowded the floor. Dances ranging from sweet and chaste to motions that would be provocative even in the confines of clone bars.

Music cut through any dance floor chatter as another song began. The clone captain studied your expression. Your glances to what drew your attention; that sparkle in your eyes he never tired of. When you turned your gaze back to him, his hand swept out to the floor before you.

Your hand slipped into his, surrendering to the undertow of the dance floor. A hand cradling your lower back as you both found place within the rhythm. Your features creasing as he moved. Never once jostling you despite the movements of other dancers. You closed the distance. Your free hand inching higher along his shoulder.

“You think you're hilarious, don't you?”

He chuckled, “Yes, yes I do.”

Your pursed your lips, “You said you couldn't dance.”

“Thought I'd surprise you.”

“So was it Jesse or Commander Tano that was your practice partner?”

“...General Skywalker called in a favor with Senator Amidala.”

The sight before of the calm and composed captain of the 501st Legion avoiding your eyes, warmed your heart. However it was the dusting of along the tips of his ears drew you closer until your lips graced his cheek. A gesture that was chaste, but also a spark which could light an inferno if left unchecked.

“Pulling out all the stops tonight? I'm honored.”

“It's a special night.” He replied, continuing his guidance in your own section of the dance floor, “The galaxy and my brothers are safe.”

The warmth in your chest unfurled like a slumbering loth cat prompting you to reorient your arms to envelop him: A clone who had seen unspeakable horrors on the battle field, yet refused to let the life he never asked for turn him bitter and jaded.

His hand began a soothing circuit along your back. Fingertips barely making their presence known.

“You alright, Cyare?”

You looked to him; his feature twisted in concern. The lights of the venue seemed to cast him in a halo.

Your lips crashed onto his. The embers resting in your chest roaring to life. Much too soon, lips parted for air.

“I'm glad you're here.”

Nice to meet you! 😊

Hi there! You can call me Lil. I'm in my early 30s and my pronouns are she/her. This blog is dedicated to Star Wars content, mostly Clone Wars/The Bad Batch.

About Me

I majored in traditional art in college and have recently started learning digital art as well.

I love anything to do with flowers, plants, and gardening.

I enjoy reading and writing poetry. A lot of the inspo for my art and writing comes from poetry.

I'm a painful perfectionist when it comes to my pet projects.

I'm married to a huge Star Wars fan whose knowledge, esp. for EU/Legends stuff, far exceeds my own. He's the one who got me to watch The Clone Wars years ago when I said the animation was too ugly. 😅 (It still is in those early seasons; I'm sorry.)

I'd love to make friends on Tumblr, so always feel free to leave asks, comments, or message me.

Masterlist

My art is all tagged as "#the little moment art".

The tag I use for my writing, which is also being added periodically to My Ao3, is "#the little moment writes".

I'm currently working on two main fics:

"Not Just the Carcass, But the Spark", which is an Echo fic,

Part One - Home

Part Two - Regrets

Part Three - Consequence

Part Four - Lost

Part Five - Dreams

Part Six - Heat

Part Seven - Free

Part Eight - Fragile

Here's art for "Carcass" too: There's Never Been a Time

And

"Only What Burns You Back", which is an AU of "Carcass" that focuses on Crosshair.

Part One - Out From Under Our Feet

Part Two - Loss

Part Three - Changed

Part Four - Only Smoke

Part Five - The Sniper and the Surgeon

Part Six - Memories

Part Seven - Through the Heart

Part Eight - Choices

Part Nine - Hope is the Hardest Love

Both fics feature my OC, Senna, who is my profile pic. You can click "#dr divehdi" below to see everything related to her, including art.

Febuwhump 2024

Day 6: Broken Promises

Day 8: Love Sees Not with the Eyes

Other Works

Lunch with Clone Command (Senna meets with some of her friends from the first clone command class. It doesn't take long for things to turn ugly.)

The Quiet Part (An injury brings Crosshair back to Kamino, where he says more than he means to.)

A Small Visit (Four years after she was first hired as part of the Republic's secret cloning project on Kamino, Dr. Senna Divehdi is surprised by a late night visit from one of her favorite cadets.)

A Tender Memorial (Dr. Senna Divehdi, Chief Medical Officer of the GAR, reflects on her time with the clone soldiers of the Republic.)

In Another Life (Crosshair can't face his family after all they've been through, especially what happened to Tech on Eriadu. Even though his brother is now recovered from his injuries and living happily with his fiancée on Pabu, Crosshair's guilt forces him away from the others. In an attempt to maintain their life-long connection, Senna moves away from the rest of their family, knowing it's the only way she can still see Crosshair. This fic is an AU of "Carcass".)

The Dress (Echo has never had an opinion on flowers, never even really noticed them, until now.)

Braided Together (A collection of hair stories featuring OC Senna and the Bad Batch.)

The Embers at the End (Eleven years after the end of the Clone Wars, Sergeant Char, one of the last remaining Imperial clone troopers, is forced to trust a traitor when he and his brother have nowhere else to turn. This fic takes place in a possible future of "Not Just the Carcass, but the Spark".)

@theneutralmime

Based on your example I'm going to assume you mean "fix it" as in a happy fix-it AU and not "fix it" as in how I would make the movie better.

Doing a fix-it where the actual fix has to happen within the plot of AOTC is harder than it seems. TPM and ROTS are a lot easier because they're the beginning and end of the story so one small change can make a really large difference, but AOTC is the middle of the story so it's a little harder to make changes that really make a difference.

I dunno, I mean, they could've sent more Jedi off to fight Dooku when he tries to run from Geonosis which could've overwhelmed him enough to be defeated which would have garnered them an early prisoner of war AND kept the Death Star plans from Palpatine. Obi-Wan and Anakin also could've just brought in more of those clones who were on the transport with them which might've helped to distract Dooku long enough for him to be defeated. They mention that capturing/killing Dooku might even stop the entire war from happening because it removes the guy who's primarily going to be RUNNING IT from the Separatist side. Dooku's already revealed a small piece of information to Obi-Wan that they could attempt to pressure Dooku into revealing more about, potentially. The main problem with capturing Dooku here is that it's pretty easy for Palpatine to find a way to free him, he's clearly got plenty of resources he can try to reach out to on the Separatist side, he can just hire Cad Bane if he needs to or something like that.

Maybe Obi-Wan doesn't lose the fight against Jango on Kamino and captures Jango so they can interrogate him about everything HE knows which could potentially lead to not just the revelation of Dooku and the droid army and the planned war, but also maybe the trap that is the clones. It's possible that Dooku and Palpatine do what they can to remove Jango from play either by finding a way to assassinate him before he can reveal what he knows or freeing him (personally I feel like they'd just try to kill him, he's not useful enough to expend the effort to free him when it's easier to kill him). I imagine Jango would be willing to exchange information for protection from Dooku at the very least. Maybe. He's ruthless and entirely without morals if we go strictly by the movie version of him, but he doesn't seem like a complete idiot either and can probably recognize that Dooku isn't going to save him and is very likely to try to kill him now that he's been captured.

It's possible that you could try to go for an AU where, instead of following Jango, Obi-Wan stays on Kamino to investigate that, but then he's kind-of making the same mistake Anakin does in this film by abandoning the mission he's SUPPOSED to be on in favor of something he decides is more important. Obi-Wan's mission is to find and apprehend Padme's assassin and while it's pretty clear Jango was INVOLVED in the assassination attempt on Coruscant, it's also pretty clear that it goes deeper than that and THAT'S what Obi-Wan chooses to pursue. He makes his report about the clones to the Council and then leaves uncovering that particular mystery to them rather than continuing to investigate himself and letting Padme's killer go free. As far as Obi-Wan is aware in that moment, they can always come back to Kamino to investigate the situation with the clones, but they may never get another chance to figure out who is behind these attempts on Padme's life and who hired Jango in the first place. And by the time they DO figure that out, it's too late and the war has basically started and the Jedi no longer really have much time to investigate anything.

By AOTC, the "fix it" relies less on someone making a different choice and more on who the good guys can capture who will provide the most relevant information to prevent a war from starting and expose the true perpetrators. Dooku can reveal Palpatine in a way Jango cannot, but Jango is more likely to make a deal and reveal what he DOES know and he seems to know enough that it could really make a difference. At the very least I think Jango would be able to reveal that this war is a sham, that the same people are running both sides of the war, and that the clones are a trap, all of which should be able to do enough damage to the Sith plot to keep something like Order 66 from happening and ultimately still lead to Palpatine's exposure and defeat.

okay, but hmm. did not consider personal assistant au for kirishima specifically. and i feel like — the things that you would find out about eijirou, beyond red riot, would be so intimate and so surprising.

because maybe you're new, to the assistant thing, hot off the press. his mom has been managing his affairs for a while now but she's getting older and kind of tired and sometimes kiri wants to go to her house and just be a son and not a hero. sometimes he just wants to eat her cooking and wash his clothes in her detergent, because it smells like home, and not talk about what's on his schedule for next week and why he's got to endorse another toothpaste brand on instagram.

all you know about him has been spoon-fed by the media; he's been a friendly face in hero society since he was sixteen — someone people looked up to and knew they could rely on, someone they trusted to get the job done and get it done right, because kirishima is and always has been the shining, beaming face of justice. he's kid friendly, has a tiktok, does a lot publicly with his fans, attends conventions and hugs people even if they didn't pay for it along with their ticket.

he's the good guy, always smiling.

and the first time you start to question that, he's sitting in his office. alone, after dark. the city below offers a very dim light that creeps up through his half-shuddered windows and he's staring at the hardwood of his desk, completely zoned out, and he's — unhappy. obvious there, in all his cracks and crevices. the width of his eyes and weight of his frown makes him look older, and whatever is going on inside his head has him by the throat, because he doesn't even look up when you linger in the doorway, when you—

"uh, sir?"

and then he blinks, planted back inside his skin before looking up at you. "sorry, what's up?" his voice is raspy, moreso than usual, as if he hasn't used it in hours, and you wonder how long he's just been sitting there. thinking. when he smiles at you, it's soft and warm, like a blanket fresh out of the dryer, and your frigid worry is thawed from how believable it is.

he's very professional with you, albeit friendly; making jokes, going out on very rare occasions with your coworkers, though he only has one drink before leaving early. only calls you by your last name and never instructs you to do different with him, tells you good morning with that same trademarked cheer, never spends too much time with just you, texts your work phone only — and for strictly work related things.

very rarely takes days off, and when he does, he finds himself back in his office anyway. tidying up or going over reports from the last week or checking his emails or figuring out if you ever got ahold of so-and-so.

kirishima is standing at your desk, looking over his to-do's for next week, murmuring to himself when he can fit time in for the gym or for the yearly charity run they do in kamino. and again — you're struck with the reminder of him as a fresh-faced teen and all that he had to endure. if it's warped him, trapped him into whatever he is now. you wonder if he even realizes it, though the haunted look on his face from before hints at a startling truth.

"aren't you tired?" you ask him suddenly, peering up as he looms over you.

he smiles, even chuckles. "what? whaddya mean?"

"it's your off day, you know," you frown and his lips twitch in response, displeased. "you should be at home, like, i don't know, getting some rest or watching die hard or something."

he doesn't say anything at first and your eyes go a little wide, because his silence has you worrying you've crossed a major boundary with him. he's kind and you're not afraid of him; you only hope you aren't being too forward or offensive.

but there's something that lines the creases around his eyes, a bit wry as he studies your face. you get the odd feeling this is the first time he’s ever looked at you. but a soft snort comes out of his nose and then he's grinning again, beaming.

"i'm in more of a predator kind of phase right now, actually." and he makes the odd, alien little noise, mimicking how it opens its madibles with his fingers and you can't help but to laugh at him, all too aware of the gaze he keeps on your face even after you look away.

for the most part, he has very good composure; you've never seen him get mad about — anything, and he hardly swears, which you think is really odd considering which other pro hero is constantly stomping around his office. it has you wondering what attracts them to one another; what of dynamight is in red riot, too, that makes them such good friends, natural partners. a strive to do good, to win, but you think, maybe, it's something deeper than that. darker, even.

red riot is meant to give a speech at a ribbon cutting, after a few commercial buildings are decimated in a villain attack. although he wasn't particularly part of the rescue, it's still him they choose for their front page. for their podium. as their shining star.

it's the first time you see him crack, really.

behind the curtain they've hung up, hiding as some community official drones on and on about the true meaning of heroics — despite not being one — and kirishima is standing beside you as you quietly go over what you've written for him. you don't even notice he's not listening until his breathing is louder than your voice, and when you glance up from your flashcards, he's — somewhere else. zoned out, just like he had been in the dark.

"sir?" you murmur, and he's popping all his fingers and flexing his palms and kind of shuffling in place, oblivious. "hey, sir?" before you can reach out to touch him, he's tugging at the tie around his neck like it's choking him.

and he whispers a harsh "fuck" before squeezing his shut.

it takes you completely by surprise, though a guilt-laden voice in the back of your mind reminds you this isn't new, that this is something you maybe should have addressed earlier, instead of letting him suffer in a masked silence.

"fuck," he says again, leaning his head back to try and steady his rapid breathing. you think he might be hyperventilating. "fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck,"

"kirishima?" and it's his name from your mouth that has him returning, looking at you for a moment before exhaling, wiping his hands on his slacks as he jostles like his skin is uncomfortable over his bones. "what's wrong?"

"no, nothin', i just—" he swallows, adam's apple bobbing, and you frown as he peeks behind the curtain and back into the crowd and cameras that are set on the stage. waiting. "goddamn it."

he's panicking; the realization has you stunned, but — he is twenty-six and just a man. one that's been built from the ground up, in the shape of something that's become too heavy after so long. even for him.

"hey," the notecards slap against the floor, forgotten, and you step in front of him to tentatively place your hands on his arms. if you're crossing a boundary, he doesn't seem to notice. "hey, hey, we can cancel this."

"what?" he looks at you like you're crazy, swallowing again. for the first time, you see an angry crease develope between his eyebrows. "no, no, i can't—they—i've got nothing to do with this and still, they want red riot to—"

"i don't give a shit about 'red riot' right now, okay?"

you think this is definitely going to get you fired; he rears back from you like you've slapped him — maybe you have, metaphorically — and he goes completely silent. breath evening out. eyebrows raised in stunned offense.

"i'm talking about you, kirishima." you clarify, daring to reach out and touch his elbow with what you hope is comfort. he just stares at the point of contact, open-mouthed. "if you don't want to—"

but then they're calling his name and people are waving him on and he's gone under the weight of his mantle, walking out without worry as he grins and smiles and waves and thanks everyone for coming. your notecards were worthless, because he has the entire thing memorized by heart and he pauses at the right times and laughs his little laugh so that everyone else chuckles, too.

picture perfect: that's what you think when you watch the playback later, on youtube. wouldn't even know what he was hiding, in his shadows.

you wait until you're back at the office and everyone has gone home to talk to him, and when you linger in his doorway, he doesn't notice for a long time. staring blankly at his dark computer monitor, far away.

this time, it's him that moves first, eventually having to a double-take to confirm you're really standing there. you're expecting anger or annoyance or frustration to come pooling out, but — he just smiles, a little more obvious in his insincerity, and says, "hey."

you don't say anything, though you do come further in to stand right across his desk. waiting, for him to reveal himself.

he doesn't. "sorry about earlier, i get a little stage-fright sometimes," sheepishly, he laughs, scratching the back of his head. "i didn't mean for you to see me like that, i just—"

"i am," you sigh, continuing when he quiets and raises his eyebrows at the interruption. "going to go and get some shitty bar food and a beer and go home to sit on my couch and watch all the predator films."

he relaxes, just a little. just enough. "even a.v.p?"

"yes, even a.v.p." you want him to invite himself, but you should know that's a step too far, for him. instead he just tells you "sounds nice" and then eventually, whatever lives in his head begins to eat its way out. "and i would really enjoy some company, kirishima, if you are interested at all."

the rejection is clear on his face and so you look away to spare yourself, trying not to take it personal. this arms-length he keeps you at is — odd, and you can't figure it out. you wonder how long it's been since anyone has breached his walls. how long it's been since he's let them.

"that's okay," you surrender, offering him a timid smile though he frowns. in the smallest moment of sincerity, his eyes flash with something and he stands, hands curled into fists like he would reach out with them, if he didn't glue them to his sides.

"i am tired," he finally says, and his eyes droop and he smiles, waning and weak, a lopsided turn of his lips. one of his little teeth peeking out, like a fang. "you're my employee and i shouldn't but, i am really fucking tired."

you're stunned, again, and he fishes his keys out of a drawer and walks over to you, suit jacket forgotten on the back of his chair. his tie is gone, too, nowhere to be found. you hope he threw it away.

as he's locking up his office behind him, he turns to you, almost shy. "only if we get chicken kaarage, though."

you smile and so does he and it's real, for the both of you. for the first time.

So I thought about another whump AU idea because it's all I can do

Now with Anakin, Cody, Plo, Neyo POV

When early days of the Clone war, Jedi somehow found about the Chips in Clones head and it's orders.

Jedi wondered why, who would make this such a horrible trap for them, but anyway they ordered to remove all of the chips from Clones.

Clones were horrified by the fact that chips were in their head, but anyway they are glad that there's no more.

But Chancellor Palpatine was not pleased. At all.

Middle of the war, Jedi noticed that Kaminoans reduced the numbers of production of Clones. And Chancellor passed the law that allows to gather troopers from Republic peoples. To fill the blank places from reduction of Clones.

GAR gradually had been possessed by Republic's corrupted officers. They forced Jedis and Clones to go to dangerous, one way missions and battlefields. The more troopers and Jedis died, the more new Republic troopers filled their places.

Republic became more aggressive to Jedi and Clones, blaming them for causing the war. For keeping the war nonstop.

In dark and painful days passed by, Jedi and Clones gathered to themselves and kept fighting. Fighting for innocents, fighting for more lives they can save, fighting for freedom and justice. For Republic, believing in the end of the war they can make this right again, and finally a peace.

But at the end of the Republic betrayed them. No, Chancellor Palpatine and his Empire betrayed Jedi and Clones.

Sidious always annoyed by the fact that after chips removal, Clones became more and more rolay and fond to Jedi. They were meant to be traps, and soldiers to end those Jedis, and yet they wanted to protect them!

So Palpatine chose the hard way to start the war against Jedis. If he can't use Clones, he still can use Republic, which is already corrupted and broken and now under his hand.

He continued to prepare for a plan for whole wartime. Spreading the lies that Jedis were the criminals who started war, Clones were just droids that were slaves to Jedis. Corrupting GAR to isolate Jedis, making more casualties to reduce the numbers of Clones.

And when they reached the final of the war, Palpatine ordered the whole GAR to purge the Jedis, telling them they were betrayals. To execute everything that tries to stop them.

There was a sudden bombing to the battalion whom were fighting in battle, with their Generals. There was a sudden targeting to fighters where clones and Jedis were riding on. There were sudden fires from behind to Clone Commanders and troopers.

Kamino was bombed by the Republic's bombers, destroying almost everything in there.

Jedis were, of course, confused and shocked by the betrayal from the Republic. Clones were as well. They tried to protect each other, but the sudden back stabbing attacks were too fatal to them.

Some battalions had no survivors. Some Clones managed to let their Jedi escape from purge, but by the sacrifice of their brothers. Some Jedis protected Clones till the end, managing to let more Clones escape, or at least live for more time.

Republic peoples did not have chips. Did not have mind controlled. But their fatigue through war had led them to lies, to madness. They were just grad that war was finally ended by erasing those hypocritical Jedis and dangerous Clones.

In Coruscant Jedi Temple, the angry GAR troopers marched to Jedis. Clones were never meant to protect temples, but survived Clone troopers rushed to there to save their friends. With their help and sacrifice, many Jedis and younglings were saved.

Somehow, in the end, some Jedis and Clones survived. They were on running and hiding under the shadow of the Empire.

Years later, the Rebellion network secretary gathered under the shadow. People wanted freedom, Clones wanted revenge, and Jedi wanted to do the right things. Now they had one priority. To take down the Empire.

Renegade AU: So what happens to Bakugou’s character development with none of the villain attacks happening and him not being kidnapped?

Actually would they have Summer Camp with the WWP now or something else without all the villain attacks?

Also, since USJ/Kamino didn’t happen, how do the Final Exam and Provisional Exams go (if they even go to the latter at all?)

Luckily we still have things for Bakugou to do, like seeing his classmates demonstrate that his insecurities about his relative strength were well-founded, and the Sports Festival conversation he eavesdropped on. Without the League, these elements would have to get more prominence in his arc.

As for the camp, they'd presumably go with whatever plan they had before they changed it because of the Mall Attack

I think the End of Term would still be robots, actually. Though with the Renegades running around they might be sent to the Provisional License Exams early anyway because of how chaotic shit is

2. A fic you've reread several times?

Fic Recs (Ask Meme)

I want to answer with more than one because lbr I love doing recs. (I've tagged those I could find a tumblr for, but some don't have immediate links that I can find with a cursory search.)

Catvengers by nyargles (@defractum) - I read this probably once a year because it's just an eternal favorite

Bargaining by proantagonist - no longer available on AO3 (not actually sure why), has made me cry every time, which I've found is pretty hard! EDIT: It's back on AO3! Also, op has a tumblr, @proantagonista.

#standbylegion by esama (@esamastation) - a haunting but hopeful fusion of the MCU and Kingsman.

(The rest are Star Wars, promise.)

Lion Jinn, also by esama - I'm a sucker for a reincarnated-as-animal fic. This one is incredibly cute.

edge of providence by adiduck (book_people) (@adiduck), whimsicalimages (@keensers) - I am perhaps at this very moment rereading this one. Shhhh don't tell.

the massive machinery of hope by Killbothtwins (@killbothtwins) - I've read this one SO many times, it has one of my absolute favorite Qui-Gon&Obi-Wan dynamics of all time.

Dead Peanut Gallery by tanarill - IDK what to say about this one other than that it's very fun. Ghostly Obi-Wan pokes Vader into defecting when he finds out Luke is his in Episode V.

Kneading by Threebea O (ThreeBea) (@threebea) - Have you ever wanted a canonverse bakery AU that's actually undercover work and ends with our precious idiots getting kidnapped to Kamino? Because this fic is great. Everyone's got idiot moments, and also Boba is three, and adorable.

R2-D2 Saves the Galaxy (Okay, so Obi-Wan helps a little) by kj_feybarn (@feybarn) - One of my absolute favorite fics. Nothing liked Artoo POV, especially when interspersed with Obi-Wan.

there is no death (there is a wedding) by virdant (@virdant-writing) - one of my early forays into Jangobi, and generally just a very fun approach to things like Petty Legal Battles With Grandpa Who Thinks You Married Wrong.

Encrypted Channel by qigiined (@deniigi) - Do you want OT-era Rexwalker, but infinitely more stupid despite theoretically being too old for this shit? Do you want it in chatfic format? Do you want Vader to be following Rex around (metaphorically) with puppy eyes (less metaphorically) and being upset that Rex doesn't want to get with him after all the many crimes? Yes. You do.

A Star to Steer By by dogmatix, norcumi (@dogmatix, @norcumii) - I have reread this so many times. I'm not even in Stargate fandom, and yet this crossover verse owns me. (Still thinking about how Ventress and Narec and the entire Rattatak situation might have gone down ngl.)

Although He Smiles by AutumnChild22 (HonestlyHelen) (@autumnchild22) - we love a time travel fic that has people redefining the natures of their relationships to one another.

Blue Tooka Guy by Millberry_5 (@the-writing-mill) - This one is just a very fun little feel-good romp.

The Desert Storm and Rise and Fall by Blue_Sunshine (@blue-sunshine-mauve-morning) - Okay I admittedly haven't reread this multiple times, but I have reread parts of it multiple times, if that counts? (The two series together are one and a half million words, so.)

Realign the Stars by CrystalRainsWriting, TerinAngel (@terinangel) - afaik this is discontinued but it's so good and shaped a lot of my early approach to SW time travel fic.

Of Queens, Knights, and Pawns by chancecraz (@chancecraz) - Do you love Leia? Do you love hypercompetent future Leia who's cranky about being nineteen again because nobody takes her seriously? Read this.

Shifting Sands also by chancecraz - still a hypercompetent Leia, but further back and Still Old and also the most recent chapter was 65,000 words.

Don't Look Back by acuteneurosis (@this-acuteneurosis) - another Leia time-travel, this one focusing very heavily on political maneuvering and things like trade routes. We got economics and supply route fic.

Force of Many Sights by DAsObiQuiet - There's something magical about fics that go into such detail about the time and effort that therapy, especially therapy for Darth Vader, takes.

Viridescent Skies by DarthSnug (themikeymonster) (@themikeymonster) - listen I just really love age/role swaps and this is a REALLY good one.

Living in Borrowed Time by smug_albatross (@scribbling-albatross) - Another one of those fics that I'd say really shaped my early approach to characters of this era. The handling of Rex and Ahsoka is magnificent, honestly, and we all know I love a good time travel plot.

Senator Obi-Wan AU by BeanieBaby - incredibly fun. Yes there's Senator Kenobi, but there's also Fox being pursued by two different Jedi (Kit and Quin), a variety of topsy-turvy character interactions that make sense in a funhouse mirror sense (e.g. Obi-Wan preferring blasters to sabers because he didn't grow up with the Jedi), and Anakin repeatedly almost kills Palpatine by accident.

Soft Wars by Project0506 (@thefoundationproject) - no explanation needed. Is cute.

Dominoes by meridianpony (@meridiansdominoes) - we don't need to go over my intense love of time-travel fics again. really.

Sith Lord Swell by AMournfulHowlInTheNight (has a blog but not for fandom stuff) - Luke falls back in time and decides to handle it by pretending to be a Sith Lord. It works (somehow).

#marvel #mcu #star wars #I've excluded the Very Rated fics because sharing E-rated recs just seems like a hassle #phoenix answers memes #phoenix recs
