I am very sick today and I had a fever dream about a Kalluzeb fic idea that I might start working on when I'm not deathly sick

so picture this: it's been almost a week since Zeb and Kallus were stranded on that moon together. The Ghost crew goes back to activity like normal but Zeb for some reason can't stop worrying about Kallus. What if the Empire never came for him? What if a bunch of pirates showed up and killed him? or kidnapped him to try and hold him for ransom? All these different scenarios go through his mind and it's just not right. It doesn't matter if Kallus is his sworn enemy, no one deserves to freeze to death.

Hera is reluctant at first, because why would she waste her time going back to that moon just to see if an ENEMY is still there or not. But Zeb is insisting that they go, and she can't really say no to him. So the two of them get on the Phantom and go back to that ice moon to check if Kallus made it off of there.

He didn't. The Empire never showed up, no one did. Kallus was still stuck on that frozen wasteland- and he was dying. Not dead yet, but almost. Frozen limbs and zero food will definitely slowly kill you. So when Zeb shows up and finds him still there, he immediately grabs him and takes him back to Rebel Base.

"He helped me survive, Hera, the least I can do is repay the favor." is his explanation when he starts nursing Kallus back to health.

Idk I just think there's something so romantic about Zeb literally bringing Kallus back to life and trying to convince him to stay with the Rebels 🤷

Zeb: good morning Alex!

Kallus: morning!

Ezra:

sure you have the power of friendship on your side but have you considered that we have the power of EVIL friendship on ours?

Cw: smoking at a young age + glorifying the idea of smoking

Ya know, I do personally think that Kallus being a smoker at a young age would be an interesting concept. Like he's 11-13 when he first takes a drag of a cigarette, his friend reasoning that it can't be any worse than the air quality in the lower levels where they live. At least this inhale is voluntary. At least this inhale feels good.

Cigarettes are expensive, usually a luxury item, especially when you are legally too young to purchase them from reputable sources. But Kallus hangs with an age diverse crowd, the neighborhood kids more like siblings and cousins than mere acquaintances.

He feels cool with the way his voice gets raspy after smoking too much. He lies and tells himself that the inhale of smoke momentarily soothes the pit of nerves in his stomach. Nothing works. But if he closes his eyes and inhales, cigarettes are the one vice he can pretend do.

He quits smoking when he joins the Empire, letting his nerves run amok, a new vice just as comforting as the old one, as he lies to himself and tells himself that it's all for the greater good. He closes his eyes and inhales. Pretends that the smoke of Lasan isn't burning his lungs.

I'm actually so obsessed with the idea of that for a short while, Zeb and Kallus' dynamic could become 'guy who likes everyone except you' × 'guy who hates everyone except you'

Like I totally get that Zeb seemed to warm up to Kallus pretty immediately on/after Bahryn, but wouldn't it be so fun if he didn't quite yet?? So we have Zeb, the friendliest guy ever (when he wants to be) who absolutely respects Kallus and even trusts him, but he also does not Like him. They can be cordial, but that's it! Vs Kallus who's snippy and prickly with everyone, yet looks at Zeb with stars in his eyes, absolutely adores him.

Eventually this dynamic runs its course, but not because Zeb starts to like Kallus. No, because Kallus starts to actually not hate everyone. He starts making friends on base and being a lot more approachable, his walls are finally coming down. Which is when the other side of the dynamic finally shifts as well, as Zeb starts to see another side of Kallus. One that isn't just an honorable and dedicated warrior, but also a friend. One that looks out for and cares about other Rebels.

The missing episode of Hera teaching Ezra how to drive the Ghost is so fucking tragic. Half the time he is the one who is terrified because Hera does so much batshit insane shit on the daily that she's completely forgotten what passes for beginning lessons. She tells him to drive between two cliffs and is about to scold him when he gets cold feet and nearly crashes instead but she sees the fear in his eyes and is like Oh no honey I'm sorry. Let's just try hovering again okay?

Had the idea of Eriss (Kalluzeb Kid) reading Kallus' memior once she's old enough and being upset with him for months

[fulcrum-021]

What if Kallus got so annoyed by people interrupting his work on Yavin that he keeps a squirt bottle on his desk.

Every time someone bothers him, they get sprayed.

This does not deter people as much as he would like, and people keep trying to steal the bottle off his desk.

He begins hiding the bottle, and purchases more and hides those so he has them at his desk, the cafeteria, the hangar bay, one in his pocket, etc.

This backfires when Yavin gets hit with a heat wave and people start bothering him on purpose to get soaked with cold water.

Being petty and easily annoyed, Kallus tries to find any way to stay on top of the situation.

He begins filling the bottles with various other substances; soda, alcohol, oil, glitter slime at the suggestion of Sabine.

Eventually everything near Kallus's typical work areas are so sticky/greasy/sparkly that spray bottles are now banned from Massassi base.
