#Aurora Cycle

[licentiouslegionnaire]

That part where Scarlett is complaining about her tits not fitting into the GIA uniform and Zila starts rattling on about the effects of hormone fluctuations in the menstrual cycle made me stop and wanna pour one out for the two of them and Auri cause like.

Bruh.

Imagine being in the midst of some wild shit to save the galaxy but having to be like “Hold up gimme a sec, my tampon is leaking.” “No I’m not injured. I’m just curled up in the fetal position cause of cramps.”

Like… I can only hope that 250 years in the future there’s been substantial strides in reproductive healthcare for humanity.

I own a disruptor pistol for Longbow Defense

since that’s what the founders intended. Four GIA goon break into my ‘bow. “Makers Breath” I grab my standard issue Disruptor pistol and uniglass and blow a golfball sized hole in the first agent, he died 200 years ago and collapses. I fire again on the second man but miss because I bought a faulty power pack and nails the mayors Ultrasaur. I have to resort to the Eshvaren trigger I keep in my cargo bay “WE THE LEGION” the psychic force pops two of the G-men like water balloons, the Excess power crumples the longbow like a tin can. My tank charges the last terrified fungoid with Martial arts and he dies waiting for the police to arrive because Aen sun nerve strikes are impossible to recover from.

ahhh, just as the Founders intended

"But in the end, she unwinds our fingers. Unstrapping the sheath from her thigh, she slides the knife home, presses it into my palm. Folding my grip around the graven handle, she kisses my knuckles, soft and warm.

“I will see you in the stars, Tyler Jones,” she says.

And she lets me go."

Tyler Jones & Saedii Gilwraeth from Aurora Cycle.

[saedii-gilwraeth-simp]

Okay but it's wild to me that Scarlett didn't know that mama Jones was Syldrathi until the squad was all connected together by their minds at the end of AE... Like Tyler, my sweet summer child???? There was multiple weeks between when Scarlett came back from the past and when the Ra'haam got to the Academy and you didn't think to drop that little nugget of information that your sister probably also would want to know?? Was he waiting for Saedii to surprise reveal it to Scar so they could share the experience???

Are interspecies relationships not all that common or????

Like on one hand yeah Caersan was raging about his children feelin the Pull for Terrans and the Jones twins were never told their mother was Syldrathi, but then Kal told Auri his mom would’ve liked her and Finian’s family met Scarlett and liked her so it doesn’t seem like something that’d be widely frowned upon. Or is it truly odd/not common and nearly everyone else looks at them like wow what a bunch of freaky alien-fucking weirdos???

But like if it isn’t unconventional, then where are all the folk like the Jones twins???

Or is it that the Jones twins are the anomaly???

Had there never been mixed species children prior so everyone just assumed it wasn’t possible and was like cool we can raw dog aliens and not have to worry bout pregnancy? Like it’s gotta be rare right? Cause like Kal and Auri had been gettin it on for a minute. Scarlett was ready to climb Fin like a tree during the time loop. Tyler, even after discovering he was half-Syldrathi, was still tryna get down and dirty with Saedii on that ship.

Like does the Legion give everyone mandatory birth control for the duration of their training and field service or something so everyone’s like protection be damned? Cause I imagine squad stability getting shaken up due to maternity/parental leave would be rough, and teen pregnancies at a military academy wouldn’t fly anyway. But the academy should still be teaching safe sex practices to the teens, man.

It’s all fun and games til an STD jumps across species. Smh my head.

cause like imagine being the reason HPV has to be renamed or something. like whelp, guess it’s actually humanoid papilloma virus, turns out Betraskans can contract and transmit it too

auri headcanons bc she is my favorite

-has a wildly successful account on the 2380 version of tiktok where she does cooking content and usually tells a story while she does it

-usually, there's clips of kal trying what she made at the end, but he can only be heard off camera (he's camera shy)

-is not scared of the syldrathi at the new syldrathi rebuilding movement

-loves miffy and hello kitty

-i think this is canon but she cries. a lot.

-fin is her ride or die bestie and they play animal crossing together. they usually whack each other with their nets and plant pitfall seeds outside each other's doors

-reads irish blessings during milestone events, for example, when she and kal moved into their house

-super outdoorsy! she loves to kayak, hike, rock climb, etc.

-she takes on a role as a geologist for the rebuilding movement and determines what sort of natural resources are available on the colony planet (ores, precious gems, good dirt for planting things)

-LOVES pride and prejudice

I blacked out then I had them. My program won't FUCKING EXPORT THOUGH so have the screenshot instead.

Follow up to my Neridaa fan theory:

why did syldra cease to exist? I know the star was collapsed into a black hole but how did that make it uninhabitable? How did it kill 10 billion people? Did Mr. Sai’nuit fire the neridaa at the planet?

like yes the star collapses and it’s very sad but the amount of mass remains constant, it’s not like the planet was flung off into deep space.

so how is slydra gone?

A collection of moments I saved from Aurora Rising because they either made me laugh or smile really hard. (It’s mainly Kal)

Spoilers for the whole first book:

I couldn’t fit one :(
