#AAT outtake

[satashiiwrites]

Outtakes that never quite made it into my fics 1/?

So I was going through my WIP folder and came across this snippet of an outtake that comes from An Andromeda Tale. There’s a few of them but this one is the most fleshed out. 

Warning for first draft, unfinished outtake, humor, telenovela abuse, references to the TV series Velvet (aka Galerías Velvet which everyone should watch!)

2819 June 7th

Draullier Collective Base, Kadara, Govorkam System, Heleus Cluster, Andromeda

Reyes Vidal, not-so-secret fan of telenovelas, currently enraged Charlatan and yes I-will-make-you-quake-in-your-boots Maiko!  I’m a tough gangster boss!

Status: Murder would be too kind of a fate for whoever did this

This may or may not really have happened....

Reyes knew his eyebrow was probably still twitching but his irritation and horror upon learning that one of his team had shared his stash without his permission was causing him actual chest pain and difficulty breathing. HIs thoughts were jumbled and the vein at his temple bulged with each heartbeat, signifying his emotional state as his hands shook so he curled them into fists to hide the tremor in them.

Overheated.

Agitated thoughts focusing on what his family had done.

The betrayal. 

The broken trust.

The horror of realization. 

The absolute and total embarrassment of having Scott ask him if his home culture was really like the telenovela the Tempest crew had introduced him to.  Scott had even written a program that made the message unfold like a paper airplane. Reyes had not missed the cute, hidden message behind the effort. Scott was a subtle flirt and if Reyes wasn’t familiar with the reference he would have been confused by it. 

It may have been cute and heartwarming and made him blush.

But damnit. 

Murder would not be satisfying enough given his embarrassment that Scott would figure out he had watched this series so many times even though it was a romantic melodrama about a fashion store. 

There was only one common source Scott’s crew could have gotten this particular telenovela from as it had been from his own library. 

He’d called a meeting of his family—Maiko, Kenax, Vestus, Alzik and Keema. No reason just get your ass to the Draullier base as soon as fucking possible. The Charlatan had called a meeting of his lieutenants and he wanted to talk to them face to face.

outtake AAT #2/?

Not sure if I should leave this in or not??

From An Andromeda Tale, Ch 57 or 58, MReyder. Mass Effect Andromeda

Outraged, Reyes glared at Cora. “You. Fucking. Almost. Dropped. Me.”

Cora huffed at the agent, hands on her hips and still working on catching her breath from the scramble to get out of the way of the cleansing field. “Move faster next time.”

Reyes puffed up, face coloring as he clenched his jaw shut in order not to scream at her.  Cora’s firm crossing of her hands over her chest and toss of her hair was not helping at all. Between clenched teeth, Reyes managed, “Don’t toss me around like a ball ever again.”

Hesitant to put himself between them, Scott tentatively put one hand on Reyes shoulder which tensed before relaxing as his head whipped around to look at Scott, eyes losing none of their cold fury, “Next time I’ll have you,” Scott tried. 

It took a moment but something changed in the flinty gaze and the jumping muscle in Reyes’ jaw calmed. Shifting under Scott’s hand, Reyes gave a small nod as his body shifted towards Scott’s and became less antagonistic. “No offense to blondie here but I’d much prefer that,” the agent admitted. “I trust you.”

Those three words hit something in Scott hard and his heart jumped in his chest. “I trust you too,” he parroted back, blushing. 

The look Reyes gave him said something nonverbal but Scott understood that something had changed right then and they were on the same page.

Writing update 8/9

You know that feeling when your muse abandons you or plays hard to get? Well yeah. Especially the Reyes part of my muse is just feeding me absolute fluff after being fed a steady diet of The Old Guard and season 2 of The Umbrella Academy.  

This is not what I need. AAT Reyes is currently seriously fucked—his best friend has been taken and his other best friend is seriously injured. And he has a pathfinder he needs to amuse.  *scowls*

There may be some unrepentant fluff making it’s way into the next chapter... Which should hopefully get out in a more normal time schedule... 

but shark week first. 

An Andromeda Tale: (Scott Ryder/Reyes Vidal) MEA

Chapter 51: posted and done. I have given up editing this beast (for the moment) and will try again later. We die like Spartans! 

Chapter 52: (3967 Words) Scott part partially written. Reyes part outlined but the muse is a fickle beast who keeps adding stuff for high noon aftermath outline. 

Outtake 1&2: rough edits done, needs to be fleshed out, added idea for 3rd outtake.

Too many chapters between these two points…

High noon aftermath: (6715 words) written from Scott’s perspective, half written Reyes perspective, needs work

Ending: (4069 words) half-written, outline done.

Epilogue: outlined.

No other writing worked on this week.
