Waxer’s home! For @waxerboilmonth , “Waxer lives” and “force sensitive.”
This fits into the Fallen AU where Boil is discovered to be force sensitive, the war shifts gears but doesn’t end, O66 sort of doesn’t happen, but various other shenanigans do.
Bit of a quick blurb to go with this pic:
Waxer huffs out a breath, his muscles relaxing under the weight of his ARC kit with every step closer to the room. Their room. In the Temple. The karking Jedi Temple. Of all the places in the galaxy this was where he and Boil now got to call home.
He was never going to get used to that.
Of course he didn’t think he’d ever get used to the fact that Boil, his best friend, his partner, was force sensitive. Not just force sensitive but a Jedi to boot.
Waxer shook his head, a crooked smiling spreading across his face as he thought about how much had changed so quickly. Sometimes he’d find himself thinking back, trying to figure out where things had changed, what moment had set them down this path.
Umbara is where his mind always landed. He’d almost died but he didn’t. At the time it seemed like a miracle. By all accounts he should’ve died that day and yet here he was now. Alive, fighting because he chooses to continue to fight, living with - and loving - his best friend.
Boil would never give him a direct answer, he didn’t like talking about Umbara, but Waxer suspected he had had something to do with the miracle of him surviving.
He shook away those thoughts as he punched in the door code to their room. It had been a month since he’d seen Boil and his assignment was such that he wasn’t able to comm ahead to give his Jedi (he snorts at that thought) a proper heads up.
Sometimes Waxer was glad when he couldn’t give Boil a heads up, it always made homecomings more interesting.
This time didn’t disappoint.
Padding quietly into their room and leaning against the door frame he smiles.
Boil’s eyes are closed, nose twitching ever so slightly, something it did when he was deep in concentration. Before him floats the various bits and bobs that make up his lightsaber. Waxer has seen Boil do this countless times since joining the Order but it never ceases to amaze him, to watch as the pieces twirl and pivot, an intricate puzzle fitting back together effortlessly and without direct touch.
Waxer sighs, letting go of the last bits of stress he’d carried back with him. He waited til the last piece of the saber slid into place before speaking.
“Hey you,” he says quietly, his heart thudding happily.
Eyes still closed in concentration, a small smile creeps across Boil’s face.
“Hey,” Boil replies softly, voice a little scratchy from disuse. “Welcome home.”

This is an interest check for a fandom event focused on the relationship (romantic, platonic, queer-platonic, whatever you like—that's what the * is for in the title) between Star Wars: The Clone Wars characters Waxer and Boil.
The event would take place in March, 2023, and participants would be welcome to create one or more fan works during that month. All kinds of fan works would be welcome, including, but not limited to, fan fiction, digital and traditional art, gifs, and audio.
Depending on interest, there could be one set of prompts per week that participants could choose from, or possibly two sets per week.
All ratings of fan works, including nsfw, would be welcome, as long as they are properly tagged on AO3/Tumblr and have appropriate community labels applied on Tumblr.
@alamogirl80 and I are the event hosts so far. Please let us know what you think, and reblog to spread the word!
