Sev, coming in hot back into the Star Wars universe: I am pro-Jedi, anti-Sith, extremely homicidal, loosing my shit, hyper-traumatized, about to adopt the next small thing I see, ready to shoot anyone who says "ThE JEdi DeSERved iT," I AM A FUCKING GENIUS LUNATIC AND I WILL DIE IN A BLAZING INFERNO OF AWESOMENESS

Kal: Name something you believed in as a child that you no longer do as an adult.

Walon: Myself.

[gilded-moon]

Walon Vau is the son of a rich duke, rebelled against him and ran off to be a Mandalorian, and has an animal sidekick.

He’s a Disney princess.

I will not entertain dissenting viewpoints on this.

[gilded-moon]

OP when I say I was fully convinced that Walon and Kal were married when I started the series, I mean it. Like in all fairness to me, I did read the books out of order (started with Order 66), so I didn’t know about Illipi until she was mentioned when they went to rescue Ruusaan.

But yes. Walon is so very queer coded.

Is it just me or is Vau (canonically) extremely queer coded?

[gilded-moon]

i colored it <3

[gilded-moon]

Consider: Vau taking Mird outside to pee on Kamino and just holding it over the ocean

[gilded-moon]

Low effort Vau and baby Mird to cure my art block ^^

happy holidays, loverboy

happy holidays, loverboy - Chapter 1 - Gilded_Moon - Star Wars Legends: Republic Commando Series - Karen Traviss [Archive of Our Own]

Summary:

Sev just wanted to check on his girlfriend. She hasn't been answering his calls for weeks, and she dropped everything to run off to a little town in New York. So sue him, he's worried.

After he gets there, he's more worried about what he's going to do in the aftermath.

Author's note: Hi all! This is just going to be a short fluffy fic about Sev and his partner. The idea spawned after I watched an Instagram reel mocking Hallmark movies. I thought it was cute, and I'm obsessed with repcomm so why not? Enjoy!

P.S. I added the ao3 link in case anyone wanted to check it out there. Fic is also posted below!

“Hailey!” He was so happy to see her again even if it had been weeks since they’d talked and she’d ignored all of his calls. Things were tough. Her childhood home was being foreclosed, and Sev remembered how upset his stepdad had been when he had to sell his bike to afford court fees.

And yeah, it hurt that Hailey didn’t seem to remember any of that, but he could forgive her. She was going through something hard, and he was so excited to see her. He’d even bought the nicest flowers he could find. She loved orchids.

Hailey didn’t seem as excited to see him though. She jumped at his voice and almost recoiled as he walked forward. “Oh. Sev. What are you doing here?”

“I came to see if I could help out here.” He held out the flowers. “Brought your favorite.”

She took them slowly with a frown. “Pink orchids?”

“Yeah. You said they were your favorite. So how have things been going? You haven’t answered any of my calls, but I get it. Stuff is busy.”

“It’s…fine. Going fine. We’re raising money to keep the farm.”

He grinned. “Awesome! Where’s the fund so I can drop off my donation?”

“Um…”

“Hailey! You’re going to miss the tree lighting, silly goose.” Some other dude swaggered around the corner and walked up to her with a charming smile.

Somehow his girlfriend managed to look both happier at the new guy’s presence and terrified at his appearance. She lowered the flowers and gave him an awkward smile. “James! This is Sev Vau, my boyfriend.”

“Ah, yeah, the big guy with the big job.” James kept up the charming smile, but it seemed a little colder now. “Nice to meet you.”

Sev forced himself to accept the offered hand. He didn’t like the way his guts were writhing uncomfortably. “Same. Who are you?”

“The guy who’s been helping her grandmother maintain the farm. I’ve been helping Hailey renovate.”

“Uh huh. That’s pretty nice of you.”

James put an arm around Hailey and hugged her tightly. “Well this silly goose was my best friend once upon a time before she ran off to the big city for a big city job. Can’t just walk away from the family because of that.”

Sev shoved his hands in his pockets and sighed. His brothers had always warned him about Hailey. They wouldn’t be that surprised and honestly, neither was he. It was clear from the way that James hugged his girl, and hadn’t let go, and the way that Hailey seemed to melt into him that she wasn’t Sev’s girl anymore.

Good thing he’d let his dads talk him out of buying that ring.

“Okay, I think I know what’s going on here.” Sev looked between them and sighed again. “I’ll send you anything you left at my place. Have fun.”

“What do you mean?” Hailey seemed offended and angry now. “There is nothing going on here, Sev!”

“Okay then why haven’t you answered any of my calls or texts? Not even a word to say that you’re overwhelmed and too busy to talk? I would have understood that, Hailey. You’ve ghosted me for weeks, ditched our Christmas plans to come here, and you’re huddled up to some other guy. You looked afraid when he came over, and it was the “I’ve been caught’ kind of afraid. And honestly, I’m surprised. We haven’t been in a good place for the past few months. So good luck with the house and fundraiser.”

“I’m not cheating on you!”

He raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t say you were. Just that it’s pretty obvious to me that you aren’t into me anymore. Have you been cheating on me?”

James gently pushed her back and walked up to him. “Look buddy, you haven’t been here for Hailey. You aren’t into the things she’s into. You fuel her overworking tendencies and won’t let her have the small town life she wants. She doesn’t want you or your big city life.”

Sev couldn’t help but laugh. “I don’t have a big city life. I live in a town about this size and live on a homestead with my dads. We have a massive farm. I’m an honorably discharged Navy SEAL, and I work at the local hospital as a physical therapist. Hailey is the one who kept pushing me to move to a big city, and she works in a corporate office. She hates small town living. But hey, you want her? Take her.” He turned to Hailey. “Sorry to do it like this, but I think it’s best we break up. Have a good life, Hailey.”

She threw the flowers on the ground and scowled at him. “You’re breaking up with me at Christmas? How could you?!”

“Your friend is right. I’m not into the things you are, and you don’t want me. That’s okay. We’re done so I’m gonna go home and have Christmas with my dads and brothers. Good luck with the house.” He offered her a lazy salute and walked off to his car.

Sev opened the door and closed it, just sitting for a long minute. He’d broken up with his girlfriend two days before Christmas after driving over four hours to go see her. Now he would have to drive four hours back and explain everything to his family.

Kal would understand. His ex-wife had done something similar except she’d taken their three kids and moved across the country while he was deployed without telling him. At least he and Hailey hadn’t shared anything like pets or kids. He wouldn’t have to sell his bike or car to afford court.

Walon would understand too. He had never had much faith in romance, but he always encouraged what his boys chose. Except Sev and Hailey. He’d never encouraged that. At first it had hurt. Sev assumed his father didn’t love him the same and didn’t care about him the way he cared about his brothers.

But that wasn’t true. Walon was only looking out for him and trying to make up for their childhood. As far as Sev was concerned, his dad was doing a pretty good job. His brothers would understand too. They always did. Yeah. He’d just buck up, drive home, and figure this out.

After all, it wasn’t like this was one of those stupid corny movies. He’d have his good ending even if it didn’t happen the way he expected.

man of faith - Chapter 1 - Gilded_Moon - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

Hi! So I've been obsessed with the Republic Commando fandom since I started the books and wrote this. These idiots are wonderful, and I needed to write more about them. This idea spawned :)

Do be aware of the tags and enjoy!

[gilded-moon]

Yeah, Kal doesn't drink wine, but with a glass of tihaar it wouldn't be so elegant. Sorry not sorry.

[gilded-moon]

Old mandalorians dancing. And in love.
