[void-of-nonsense]

Ficlet, she's half done but I needed this brain child outta my head and I wanted to post it. Star trek, jullien/garak, featuring alien courting rituals.

It goes like this. Jullian is standing in the tailors shop running his hands over the suit garak has just unveild.

"Naturally it's yours for the taking if you only decide it" Jullien pauses only breifly at the odd phrasing as he marvels over the fine stiching.

"A gift, garak?"

"Oh heavens no, my dear doctor. A gift? The very thought of it. For you my dear, never a gift."  his tone is odly soothing, holding his hands like one might to calm a horse but Jullien feels the sting all ghe same. Of course garak hadn't made this just for him, he was just a tailor showing off his latest work to a prospectice customer. Jullien let his hands drop from the outfit and made to turn away.

But garak was strangely insistent, redirecting his attention back to the clothes. Look at this stiching here, doesnt this colour suit you, you really do need better clothes. In the end Jullien caves and decides to buy it.

Garaks face falls breifly when he hands over his credit chit.

Garak bows out of their next lunch appointment citing some rush order or some such. And Jullien finds himself moping alone at quarks..had he been misunderstanding after all? Perhaps they weren't close at all.

It's then that Major Kira walks in and strikes up a conversation, asking why he's moping.

"Well, It's nothing really..it's only well garak I thought maybe he was offering me a gift-" he's caught off guard at the look of fury that crosses her face and before he knows it he's chasing her down the promenade. 'THAT CARDASSIAN BASTARD'

Garak assures that he did no such thing and jullien agrees, said it had been a misunderstanding. "Really its just that he said 'it was mine for the taking' and it confused me" Slowly she stills. Blinks. And then with an ashen face turns and storms out "I don't want to hear about your love life ever again, jullien!'

Jullien is unbelieveably confused. He mutters under his breath that he just doesnt understand and then he starts ranting in his confusion.

Garak stops him with a hand on his shoulder..'my dear, dear doctor I really do think that perhaps I ought to explain.'

And so explain he does.

- cardassians don't give gifts as a general rule at least not overtly. Directly giving a gift is basically an insult/power play. I'm better than you/i was more prepared than you/i have more money than you

- and so gifts generally arent given.but they are sometimes indirectly offered or taken. Most of the time you'd have to suggest far in advance that you are preparing a gift so the other could recriprocate/offer trade. But if you were courting someone to make it clear you were equals its a sort of 'i wont give this to you but I wont stop you from taking it either',

-for the affections to be refturned you'd have to take something of theirs that they offer

- some people offer an object but make it difficult to take, which is probably an old fashioned courting ritual where you have to prove your abilities

Rest Energy - Thrantovember Day 1

The hunter follows the call of prey, its memories ringing in his head. Once found, he lends it his aid. The echo is inside of him.

Or, a strange semi stream-of-consciousness Thranto drabble based on the Thrantovember prompt "Arrowhead". Thrawn is in exile and finds Eli in need of help.

He felt it. Echoes. A twig snapping underfoot. Laboured breaths. Fear.

He frowned, eyes closed, and turned his ear towards it as if that would better help him hear the memories. His eyes prickled, no doubt their glow burning, shifting hues. A stark violet.

The man - was he a man? hard to say - shifted the weight into his back foot. Practised, he reached back for an arrow, the animal hide making very little noise as the quiver shifted from the movement. Breath stilled. Body, mind, sinking into a focussed trance, a hunter's natural rhythms. The echoes were loud, so they were fresh. A wounded animal maybe - enough to last him weeks depending on its size and his preparations. But that was wishful thinking. Over the many moons of exile he had only felled such a prey once

His bow, arduously carved by hand from these very trees and a recent addition to his arsenal, seemed to thrum in his hand. Close now.

The hunter opened his eyes, scanning the undergrowth, raising his bow to part dense leaves - a small clearing ahead and the smell of exertion and pain. Panic that was not his own.

There—

Read the rest on AO3 :)

[the-martyrfication-of-the-matron]

I think the worst thing that could come from me making a fic about my targ ocs (even if I end up just doing a voidfic as I call it - just nothing happening outside of the plot of the fic, canon events ignored) is that people start shipping Elaena with the wrong people

#she’s nice and gets along with people. can’t have anyone rooting for her with the wrong people bc of that #hotd oc

Fic master update

Wrote this for my endnotes in the Powder Elise fic new chapter, but thought it’d also be good to post here as well. Just a general update to my fics.

General Update: I've escaped Covid (even if I'm still not 100%) which means I've gotten back into writing my works! Current Progress:

Ratfic - Ch. 8 is started and I'm pretty far into it.

Voidfic - Decided to split the chapter I'm working on so I can release the first chunk. Can't wait to introduce crazed cultist Seraphine!

Wedding Arc - Thinking of also splitting this current chapter into two just to get something out.

Caitvi Adopts Powder - Ch.4 is started, but slow progress on this one since I'm still trying to plot it out.

Cat Lux - Stalled a bit on ch.7, but that's more because my focus switched to other fics.

Delinquent Lux - Same with Cat Lux, though I've written a bit on it. I want the 'chapter' to be a bit longer before posting it.

Gwen/Jinx - Stalled (Ch. 6) and still need to work up the will to write next chapter (Ch.5), haven't had the free time to be a sobbing mess for a bit :').

Kamen Rider Jinx - Ahahaha :) Unchanged, my brain isn't being helpful. Though I might actually post those chapters I do have.

#fanfic update #hope the names make sense to people #I have more than I thought #also not counting the unpublished AUs #which I hope to eventually put out #arcane fanfic

📚 & 🎈?

"Give me a fic rec!" and "A fic you've day dreamed about writing"

I'm probably missing out on a lot of fics but right now this most recent fic is really good and i'm in love w it

Anyway! As for the 2nd ask I think of so many aus daily w minor changes to each of them- but right now this fic idea i have is Xisuma is having to hide smth and look super shady and evil- but anyway i added to my smokie boy by letting him control it and use it as a smoke bomb or maybe shards of smokie void things- just a concept buggering in my brain i may or may not really write

Oh look, a bottomless void through which one would fall forever. Whatever should come out of this void? Why, crossovers, of course.

So. Much. Fic. Potential.

1) Where there's a void, Ten has a Tardis.

2) Gandalf, who has a side quest while absent from Middle Earth.

3) Did someone say Hellmouth? Bottomless Pit of Hell.

4) You say Void, Sirius says Veil.

5) Loki fell...

I must know about raw shark wars, also the Thranto fairytale one.

Raw Shark Wars

is a crossover/AU inspired by Steven Hall's novel The Raw Shark Texts. It's set post-Rebels and features Thrawn and Ezra and the Chimaera crew encountering a very strange and deadly shark creature on an alien planet. It's gonna be kind of abstrat but fun to write (and hopefully to read).

Preview:

It started about a month ago

-

ruins of deep water-dark. impressions of stone and carapace and whispers of ancient song riddled with layers of intelligence and rhythm and memory and discourse. a ripple disturbs that blue-green, so far above and yet the slumbering awake.

soft murmurs in the gloom.

a great and terrible sound of something vast and despairing, careening and burning.

the husk of a ship, a massive structure, already subsumed by creeping vines and thorns of silver-red. huddled masses and quivering beacons echoing long, long into the empty night. the air is filled with their calling, and the forgotten song is the same.

an eye unneeding of sight is open above the waves.

it follows.

it hasn't fed in many years.

-

"Any particular reason why the 'pad you gave me is busted?"

Thrawn frowned down at him. He looked tired - as always - but Ezra's complaint fired up that little spark he kept tabs on. It was tiring, always keeping a probe on Thrawn's mind, but it was a precaution Ezra would take as long as he felt necessary. He didn't know if Thrawn knew and frankly he didn't care.

"This is the third instance I've been notified of this afternoon regarding data becoming inaccessible, and of the inability to acess or use certain functions of these datapads."

Thranto Fairytale

is an old fic inspired by all your fairytale aus, Zs! It was gonna be sort of based on Snow White/Sleeping Beauty, where Eli is a Prince, Thrawn is a sleepy lad, and Cygni is a literal talking swan. There was also an idea of a Red Riding Hood thing with Red Eli who then gets turned into a werewolf but IDEK. Not sure if I'll ever get round to finishing this one but hey.

Preview:

[Eli comes across an injured swan stuck in a bush or something.]

"Hey could I get a hand please? I'm at a lack of them"

Eli stared. And stared. Then got off his horse and complied.

-

"Thank you kind sir for lending your aid"

"No problem" Eli said, holding the large bird under his arm as he lifted it away from the branches. The bird gave a shriek and Eli flinched, dropping it in a flutter.

"Sorry!"

"No need to apologise it was my disturbance. I think my arm- wing- is injured. Could you tell perchance?"

"Sorry I don't know much about animals... you sure talk funny. Are you a Lord?"

"Oh, are you not? Well I'll drop the act. I only did to earn your favour. Thought you were a Lord yourself."

"Pfft what made you think that?"

"Well you have a horse. Very fancy."

"Most folks own a horse"

"I don't."

Eli stared at the bird. He couldn't think of a response to that.

Princess Tutu au

Eli felt at peace. On the pristine waters of the lake danced the Prince, elegant and silent, his arms lifting and back arching, a spin, a grand leap, landing without breaking the tension of the water. Early morning mist swirled around his figure as he danced alone in the pearly light. Sitting at the edge of the lake, Eli sighed. His dancing was so beautiful. And yet so sad. There was an emptiness there that Eli couldn’t fully explain. Not that he could voice his feelings anyway, being without the capacity for human speech.

He ruffled his feathers and hopped into the water, kicking himself along and watching the ripples flow behind him, wondering if he could get closer to the Prince. As usual, it didn’t seem possible; his figure was receding now, the mists growing thick as they shrouded him, and the dappled light was growing fiercer. Eli felt a lurch in his stomach, like he was tipping, falling, and as he blinked he heard a low and unfamiliar voice chuckle.

“My, isn’t that bold of you? A little thing like you in love with the Prince?”

-

"You seem to care a lot about me,” Thrawn noted. "It's strange; it feels like I don't see you terribly often, and yet I feel as though I spend much time with you. Why is that?"

Oh, I'm just the mysterious and delicate stranger of mythic proportions who appears before you and is restoring your heart to you, no biggie.

Eli scowled. There's no way he could say that. Thrawn did not even know he originated from the Tale of The Prince and The Raven, so how could he even begin to explain this? Cygni had pressured Eli into not saying anything, but surely it would do Thrawn good to know? Cygni was not in control of him after all, he refused to even co-operate. Saying keeping Thrawn ignorant was for his own good... Eli didn't agree with that, couldn't abide by that at all.

“I just… like to see you dancing,” Eli muttered. It wasn’t untrue. Thrawn’s technique was excellent, though not terribly emotive. And that was part of the beauty of the dance! To make it one’s own, to express and to evoke, and he couldn’t do that without a heart. “I want to be able to see you smile.”

Thrawn stared at him for a long moment, his brilliant ruby eyes glittering like a lake catching the sunset. “Alright. I’ll try and do that.”

---

Pacific Rim au

stepping into the drift with thrawn was like stepping into the dark. he thought in a different language. felt in a different way - neurones that didn't align with his own, cultural voids and impossible reconcilliation. eli plunged into icy depths and fought hard to kick back, to process and mingle and smooth out, and yet he couldn't, couldn't, and like before he came to as the operators shut down the test, thrawn apparently having maneuvered the jaeger without eli's assistance.

eli later found out that he had been an active participant in the shake, and that all the data indicated thrawn had not piloted the jaeger by himself, but eli simply held no recollection of the incident.

---

Thratatouille AU

Thrawn sat quietly on the rooftop, overlooking the quiet pasture below him. It was a drab day, but fitting. He was spending time by himself as was his prerogative, though he most certainly wasn't meant to be on the roof, let alone on a house that didn't belong to him or his family, and he was thinking to himself of all the ways he was separated from those around him. He was different from his kin. Alone. Truly, that didn't bother him so much as others' insistence that he shouldn't be, their repetitive and inadequate arguments that he should and would just fit in if he stopped fooling around. Thrawn ignored that. It wasn't his fault that they didn't understand. In fact, it was more their loss than his. His brother may have seen through that thought and confronted him about it were he here, and had Thrawn spoken it aloud. But Thrass wasn't here.

“Let me guess, I’m the first serious crush you’ve had.”

“Pardon?” Thrawn said. His drink was cooling under the buzzing light of the café, all but deserted in the dusk of a sprawling city with far more interesting places to be. It was an agreement to those who could hear it.

The young man opposite him laughed, his eyes sparkling bright. “Thought so.”

Nevil was… interesting. He aroused intrigue. That was the first emotion Thrawn had prescribed to him, and was still the far most dominant one he continued to hold. They’d met— well, maybe those details didn’t matter, but not soon after that they’d argued – debated, was Nevil’s preferred choice of words – then cooled off, found a wall to lean against secluded from prying eyes and very nearly found themselves in one or another’s bed. It seemed far-fetched and foolish in retrospect.

“I remember my first. You look like how I think I looked back then.”

The second emotion was something between admiration and envy, and Thrawn figured that’s probably what infatuation was to him. Nevil excited him, in an odd way. More than just the familiar sexual attraction he could also prescribe to him. More so he respected him, felt tested by him, his entire body on edge and yet pleasantly so. A strange sense of invigoration.

“He was really cute – not as handsome as you, don’t worry – and I loved him, and then it was over in, what, two weeks?” Nevil laughed again. “Damn idiot was seeing somebody else the whole time. First time is always hard hitting, when you like someone like that.”

“Did I confess to that which you accused me of?”

“Is that not what this was?” Nevil asked, gesturing to the table, to the café as a whole. “A confession.”He had indeed called him here, out of the blue, just to see his face, not even needing to talk, but that didn’t have to mean anything at all.

swanto - downfall (nightclub)??? ;👀👀👀

ALRIGHT SO. (i’m grinning just thinking about this stupid au). This all started like nearly 2 years ago when my coworker invited me to go to a club with them. I’d never been to a club before (not my scene and with experience still isn’t). So I go home at a reasonable morning hour but I can’t get to sleep cause on the way back my brain is full of Eli/Cygni brainrot with the silliest idea that basically. what if Eli was undercover in a nightclub (because fanfic plot reasons). And Cygni was there. and then they flirt and hook up. and that was meant to be it. that was the plot. i just wanted random cute one-shot swantos.

and then my brain made angst happen by giving thrawn a bigger role and slapping in some one-sided thranto. so then the fic kept going and we have thrawn meeting eli in the hotel the next morning and being Concerned but also jealous and hurt. and so thrawn confesses he’s got feelings for Eli but eli basically has none of it cause he’s kinda fed up with the manipulation schtick. in this au Pryce and Thrawn never meet and thus never help one another and so eli is stuck as an ensign and we get a lot of thranto angst and possibly some very vindictive space cowboy. it was initally titled “nightclub au” for ages before I gave it the temp. name of “downfall”. I have a playlist for this au also. i just checked and there are 18k words i don’t remember writing all of :’) it’s really fun writing eli/cygni interactions with cygni being a lil snarky and eli getting riled up but also getting snarky right back at him. and also being soft n cute. and also thrawn just pining really hard. and also eli’s frustration at a stagnated career path.

uhhh select snippets under the cut?

- - -

Cygni shrugged. "Spice, Dust, people... not my modus operandi."

"And I'm to believe you?"

"I told you - I'm in no position to lie. Besides, why would I? Is it that difficult to believe I'm not keen on those who profit off of the stuff? I've seen what it does to people. And I'm just me tonight."

"Just 'you'?" A flat statement more than a question. He didn't understand Cygni's words.

"Yes." The damn smirk was equal parts infuriating and attractive and infuriatingly attractive. Clearly there was a punchline he wasn't getting. Whatever. Eli pushed it aside, not caring for games. He cleared his throat.

"So," Eli ventured. "Whatever you're doing, it's not some kind of play. Or trap."

"Of course not. How would I even know you were to be here tonight?" Cygni smiled wryly. "You think if I knew I would show up, considering our previous encounter?"

"No. I don't think you'd be that bold. Or that stupid."

Cygni snorted from across the table. "Well, I'm glad you think so, at least. I'd say we're getting along just fine, wouldn't you?"

-

(at the hotel)

He watched as Cygni shuffled backwards to sit cross-legged on the wide bed. He followed suit and made himself comfortable facing him. The way he leant back and propped himself on his hands was very appealing. Eli let his gaze wander, down along the scrunched creases of his shirt at the shoulder, his arms, a little more muscular than he'd first thought, pale scars catching on his dark skin that gave Eli a twinge of cold uneasy recognition, of remembrance, and to those solid hands that had felt so good on his scalp. He dropped lower down to the drape of his shirt - really if he'd wanted to blend in at the venue he could have worn something a little more... exciting - past the strained fabric of his trousers, nicely fitting, quite tight, actually, and a strange blue-green colour that Eli wasn't sure blended well whatsoever with the pale shirt or dark skin but really he was just focussed on the want for their absence; and then with rising heat down elsewhere, to Cygni's feet. Eli suddenly felt very strange for wearing his shoes whilst on the bed. He gulped, getting back to the matter at hand - that being the growing desire inside of him for the man before him. He raked his eyes back up to Cygni's wry grin, though not entirely free of tension.

He must've had a strange expression on his face because Cygni spoke up in a jovial tone. "Not going to try and weasel some information out of me are you, Vanto?"

Eli huffed quietly, tension lifting. "As if you'd fall for that. And it's Eli," he said, and leant forward to kiss him again. "You can call me Eli."

-

(thrawn confronting eli the morning after. which is very rude of him)

"You are well aware it is against protocol--"

"I know, sir," Eli muttered, pained.

"--and more so it was unwise. There is conduct to follow, Ensign."

Eli flinched. He knew better than to try answering that.

"However, I do not expect any individual to solely rid themselves of any desires they have. As you said, the path of duty can oft impede or interrupt chances at proper rest or indeed.. indulgence. What I wish to understand is that it seems there are those on the Thunder Wasp who would respond positively from such an advance from yourself, and despite regulations I see no reason why you could not engage in sexual activity with those you wish to, whoever they may be,//such colleagues albeit within appropriate timeframes, provided it does not impact your work. Yet you have chosen to ignore this in favour of a different party. I do, of course, notice these things."

Gods what the fucking weirdest thing Thrawn was saying.

"Oh yeah," Eli replied sarcastically, unable to help it now. "I'm sure the Empire’s finest are dying to get a shot at screwing a Wild Space hick who barely made the cut at the Royal Academy and is getting such special treatment – all for being bilingual. Care to name a few?”

"I myself, am one such example."

"What."

-

(after thrawn and eli’s fallout)

Oh right - Thrawn was talking to him. Of course he was. And didn't seem to care that Eli wasn't listening. It's not like he wouldn't notice. He just expected Eli to pay attention to him. Like usual, he expected Eli to give him every waking moment. No time to think for himself, about himself, lest it lead to foolishness.

"Sir?" Eli said bitterly. All of this clamouring in his head was driving him mad. He felt sick. He couldn't remember half of what he'd been driving round and round in his skull, and from the rest of it he couldn't tell if it was his own spiteful hyperbole or if it was truthful. He didn't know which was worse.

A small flicker of something crossed Thrawn's impeccable features. Eli didn't know and didn't care what. He supposed he should. He paid attention. "I was suggesting, Ensign, that you be taken as ill. I have noticed your demeanour becoming--" he paused. muttered something, or maybe just mouthed it. Eli was frowning at him, hardly trying to stop himself, and could see the word was Sy Bisti. Still on translation duty after all these years. Only useful because it wasn't worth the hour programming a droid. Eli's existence could be quantified in a measly number of credits in that regard. And yet he hadn't even bothered to say the word, to ask Eli for that translation. Was he trying to be nice, or polite? What a first. Or maybe he wasn't even worth that anymore.

tldr: what if... we hooked up in a nightclub while i was undercover on a mission... and the encounter really gets to some hidden emotional part of me for reasons unknown... and then it turned out my commanding officer has been madly in love with me the whole time but my head’s too busy with whatever spell you put on me when we had sex that one time to even look his way... haha jk.... unless..?

@dragonfly-wings1​ YES YESYES OKAY TALK TO ME ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF THIS CROSSOVER. This is technically an extension of “what if the purrgils yeeted Thrawn + Ezra into alternate sci-fi universes” idea. But you have no idea how much I want Thrawn to be in B5 land. Or how much I wanna write an AU/fusion where Thrawn is commander of B5 as a sort of political assignment the Chiss know he would suck at and inevitably fuck up because they have nefarious plot reasons for wanting it. Good thing Eli is there to help Thrawn keep his position. The Chiss were a neutral party during the Earth-Minbari war so perhaps everyone is hoping that having a Chiss in charge after the unfortunate losses of the previous stations will help prevent bad luck and smooth things out by not having any bias for either Earth or Minbar.

But the main idea is just the Chimaera arriving in B5 space (probably in Sector 14. yknow). Thrawn meeting John Sheridan. Cause like they have sooo much in common and I think about it all the time. Thrawn interacting with all the crew and ambassadors and being a pilot as well as a commander-esque figure! Kosh is Ezra’s dad/mentor figure now. Thrawn hates this. Thrawn is losing his mind at yet another galactic level threat amassing its forces and infiltrating/manipulating every species it can get its hands on and the various governments around the galaxy just fighting each other and/or ignoring it and the fact that Sheridan cant get EarthGov to listen (same hat! same hat!). The two have a lot to talk about. “What do you mean ‘telepaths’?” “I mean there’s like people who can read minds here, like the Jedi!” Thrawn having uncomfortable Vader flashbacks and steering clear of Talia and Lyta and Kosh and the PsiCorps and getting Ezra to stick near him every time Bester is on board. And Bester can’t do anything to Ezra cause this kid is Too Powerful. Thrawn being a useful asset in the War by studying what little is known about their enemy’s culture and art! Thrawn and Sheridan admiring each other’s values and tactics and respectful command! The B5 crew and Chimaera crew hanging out! Ezra meeting the Rangers and having a community he can train with! Marcus is Ezra’s dad now? (Trans dad? Trans dad!) Garibaldi not tolerating even an iota of Thrawn’s nonsense but he has to put up with him like everybody else. Londo and G’Kar desperately trying to get Thrawn onto their sides and him just being tired of all this shit. Thrawn being immersed in a world with so much to learn and a fight that he can win, even if it isn’t his galaxy and his people he’s saving!

Basically Thrawn being in a well-constructed and well-wrtten sci-fi universe that I adore with all my heart!!!

I’m not gonna say this all set into place with Sheridan’s “I’ll keep it [the art] in a place of honour” line (S3E4) but basically. BASICALLY. I wrote a teensy bit on the idea the other day but it’s rough. I just have many plot bunnies in my head that I NEED to write ;n;

"This is the White Star transmitting to unidentified vessel, please respond. You have been recorded in unchecked rotation in hypersapce. If you remain any longer, you will be set adrift. Do you require assistance?" Thrawn saw Bridger raise his brow in the corner of his vision and tilt his head towards him. He had the same question, and so did everyone on the bridge. Hyperspace? The next was this: what would they do? "This is Grand Admiral Thrawn of the Galactic Empire. We would appreciate any assitance you wish to offer." --- "Humans from outside the known galaxy? We're drifting a little too far into fairytales." Captain John Sheridan ran his hands through his hair as he looked up from the flimsy. He didn't need this today. He didn't need this any day really. "Yes sir," Ivanova responded. "To be fair, is it really that hard to believe? We've got the Shadows on one hand raging a galactic war on every member of the League with pawns on Earth, which, may I remind you, we have ceceded from, we have Delenn, who by all rights shouldn't exist either, telepaths all over the place-- and need I remind you of the wonderful mess that is Babylon 4? Go back a few hundred years and all of this would have been crazy. I'm sure the universe has time to throw in some interdimensional travellers." She punctuated her statements with her classic nod and smile, that look she threw Sheridan in the face of the familiar nonsense they dealt with every day now. He thought with the galaxy growing ever crazier she would have grown used to it, but perhaps habits died hard. He had to say, it kept him grounded in a way. Ivanova, while not always right, was constant. Sheridan hummed. He thought again to that voice, those many voices, whispered in the night from an old friend. He is arriving; the man who shares your heart.
