. . .y'know given Taiga is the one who made the casino do you think he changed the Sinostra house crest himself?

The skull even matches the one on his gun. His WickChat icon has a similar skull too.

Like I guess he could have just added the slot bit on the bottom but. The whole thing matches Taiga's gun and the casino he made. So it's kind of unlikely it had the exact same design before he became captain. I wonder what it looked like before?

Steamy Saturday

"Women who dare to live in that outcast world of 'twilight' love." "Val sensed something oddly disturbing about the girl. Not until later did she realize what it was -- and then it was too late!" "I love you, Val. I want to be your lover. . .. She brushed Val's cheek with her fingers. . .. Val's flesh tingled at the touch. For the briefest moment she closed her eyes. . .." ". . . a refreshingly realistic treatment of women who are 'different'."

Steamy, steam, steam!!

The sophisticated, witty, attractive, and popular airline hostess Val MacGregor meets her lovely, dark-eyed coworker Toni. Val is confident in her sexuality and enjoys the attention of men -- maybe too much -- but Toni soon shows her otherwise, and Val is awakened to her true desires. Such is the premise of American lesbian romance writer Paula Christian's first novel Edge of Twilight, published in pulp paperback as a Crest Book by Fawcett Publications in 1959. Remarkably, Edge of Twilight has a positive resolution of fully-realized lesbian love, unlike the tragic endings of most lesbian romance fiction from the period.

Paula Christian was the pseudonym for Yvonne MacManus (1931-2002), an American novelist, editor, and publisher who wrote in several genres under her own name but published lesbian romances only under her pen name Paula Christian. MacManus had been an airline crew member herself, flying out of what became Kennedy International Airport in New York, and Edge of Twilight is semi-autobiographical.

The book's cover art offers stereotypical 1950s butch/femme imagery, only this time it is a photograph, rather than being rendered by an illustrator. As a "pro-lesbian" romance, Barbara Grier, in her seminal The Lesbian in Literature, gives the novel her highest rating of A*** for its very sympathetic portrayal of lesbian characters. The National Organization for Decent Literature, however, disagreed. The organization would often flag individual passages they found objectionable in publications but in this case it noted: "Theme of book is hardly a subject for teenage perusal. A book about a pair of lesbians is hardly youthful entertainment. Pages and passages have not been marked as it is generally objectionable."

Imagine you and Eric exchanging letters

Coming to a halt in the water, your tail helps you stay upright as it sways with the sea to keep you balanced. Your eyes carefully scan the ocean's surface for signs of large shadows. Waiting quietly for a few minutes, a smile grows on your face when none appear. Not wasting any more time, your tail flaps rapidly through the water as you swim toward the surface.

You hear a loud and raucous squawk when you break through the surface with a big splash. You move the wet strands of hair that cover your face with one hand and look for the source of the noise. It doesn't take you long to notice the yellow bill, black legs, and glossy black shaggy crest of the large tern that was perched near the entrance of the short sea stack's alcove. Spotting the scroll of parchment paper hidden behind its now damp gray wings, you quickly make your way toward the Great Crested Tern.

"Captain!" You say, joy evident in your voice when you near your feathered friend. You rest your arms along the edge of the alcove's floor and watch the bird pick up the rolled-up scroll of paper beside him and make the short glide to reach you.

"Can't you come out of the water more peacefully," Captain asks you with a grumble as he tries shaking the water off his wings.

You have the sense to look sheepish when he turns to stare at you. "I'm sorry," You tell him, moving a hand out of the water and reaching over to smooth his crest down once more. He moves with your hand, trilling in satisfaction when he notes in the water's reflection that his crest fluffed up to how it once was.

"I can never stay mad at you." He sighs before moving his head toward the ground and pushing the scroll to you with his break. A grin breaks out once more on your more as you grab the scroll and begin to unroll it. "Another letter from your lover."

Your face flushes and you feel your cheeks heat up as Captain squawks with laughter at your reaction.

"He's not my lover!" You tell him with a huff though the softness in your eyes when you spot his name at the bottom of the parchment paper says otherwise. The tern doesn't point this out even though he wants to as you start your spiel once more about the relationship between you and Eric as you read through his letter. "This exchange is purely academic. To learn more about each other's culture and vice versa."

"I'm sure there are more things you want to exchange." He teases as he uses the tern's mating ritual of head raising and bowing to imply the point he's trying to make.

You drop the scroll in embarrassment, the paper furrowing itself and you submerge your body into the ocean in the hopes that the coolness of the sea would stop your face from warming up anymore at Captain's teasing. Peeking your eyes out of the water, you mumble to the bird "I'm going to feed you a feral animal” as he falls into a squawk of laughter once more.

The Chronicles of The Mandalorian and Boba Fett~(love triangle) Chapter 2

Storyline: This is the story of a young warrior (y/n), that fought all across the galaxy, earning a name that brought fear to the ears of many. Life was as good as it can be, until the Empire took that away, giving her the heart of an ice spider. She had no choice but to go into hiding, after all, there was still a bounty to her head. So, she decided to do the simplest job that anyone could possibly do; bounty hunting. Though bounty hunting was a dangerous profession, something that she could obviously handle, but it could sometimes lead to unforsaken enemies and possible lovers. Well, who shall we meet on this journey? 

Warnings: Well, it can be fluffy at times but there are going to be scenes that might offend or be inappropriate to many. With that being said, this story contains; Fluff, Choking, oral sex (F receiving), Fingering, Sex, Doggy style, Blood, Violence, Cursing, masturbating etc. There is also notions of injections and medical stuff. There is a lot more stuff but Enjoy lovies!

(Note: This is not following the exact story of the star wars trilogy, it will have a lot of pieces from Mandalorian, Boba Fett, and maybe include already known characters)

(Second Note: I haven't continued this story in a while, I will have to watch back the films to remember most of the scenes so it will take me some time to continue writing, but stay tuned for updates!)

(On another note: Thank you lovies for all your love and support, hope you enjoy the story) :3

Chapter 2: I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold

On the icy planets of Pagodon stood a man covered in armor, his face completely covered by a helmet that resembled the clan of the Mandalorians. The Mandalorians belonged to the planet of Mandalore, a vibrant city that was tragically destroyed by the so-called Empire. As the man stood there on the icy flats, he looked around, a beeping sound could be heard echoing around, giving him the notion that the bounty he was looking for was somewhere here. Putting the tracking fob back into his belt, he walked towards the small hut, hoping to find what he was looking for. 

Meanwhile, inside the hut, a blue creature was slammed onto a table, three men hunched over him, laughing at the mighty price they might get for him. 

"Look at his glands, I bet we can sell them at the port, maybe get a lot more credits than we are used to boys" One of the men said in another language, the other two laughing at his plan. 

"Hey, hey, I have credits, please, y-you don't need to do that!" The blue man yelped as he was held up, the big burly man holding a dagger against his throat. 

Suddenly, the doors opened, the armored man standing there menacingly, and then entering the bar, everyone staring at him in confused manner. 

The big burly man yelled at him, approaching him once he stood at the bar, "You spilled my drink!" " the burly man said in another language. 

Silence was all that the big burly man could hear from the armored man as he screamed, causing an anger to boil within him. "Did you hear what I said?" he questioned, the bartender looking at the armored man. 

"He said that you spilled his drink." 

"Listen its fine, its on me" the bartender said as he began to pour another glass. 

"Is that real Beskar steel?" the burly man questioned as his two other friends stood behind the armored man. 

"Here is your drink." 

Once the drink slid across the bar, the armored man stopped it, beating the three men to a pulp, stabbing the burly man with his own knife. Although one of the creatures tried to escape, the armored man throwing a zip tie across the room that latched onto his leg to prevent him from escaping.  As he pulled the wire, the creature laid along the door, the armored man closing it, killing him instantly. 

"Wow, thank you, thank you very much, you have my heartfelt gratitude!" the blue man cheered as he pulled his credits towards him. This was until the man approached, standing before him, "You know what, I think this deserves to be in your pocket, why don't you buy yourself a drink huh?" 

Although the man put down a puck, a holographic image of the blue man appeared, causing him to gulp nervously. "I-Is that a bounty puck?" "Listen, listen, we could possibly work out a deal?" "Maybe I could give you more credits if you give me a chance-" 

"I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold" The man said sternly as he waited for the blue man to get up to go with him. 

"I-I um....okay, okay, I shall go then" He chuckled as he stood from his chair, the armored man clasping on some cuffs to his hands. 

As they walked outside into the blazing cold, the man approached a boat caller, "Where too?" 

"I need passage to the yards." 

The boat caller nodded as he whistled into his little flute, a land speeder approaching the three. 

"No droids." 

"I assure you, this speeder is brand new, it's the latest model, why don't you want it?" The armored man sighed as he flipped a credit to the boat caller. "Ah well, my apologies then, I shall call you another land speeder" he chuckled, blowing into his little flute once again. As the driod speeder left, another speeder approached, this time with a man in it, however, the speeder looked like it had seen a few years. 

"Where to?" the man said as he leaned back against his chair. 

"To the yards." 

Once the two of them got in, the speeder took off in a flash, the driver looking through his binoculars. 

"You know what he is looking for right?" "You're looking for Ravinaks right?" The blue man asked worriedly, gulping as he looked at the armored man and then back at the front to see if they were nearing the ship. 

"Its clear right now, but be careful near the port, everyone dumps their gray holds out here, they think the whole entire planet is their own personal shit pit." 

After a few minutes, they arrived at the lovely Razor crest, a ship that can tear ass in flash. "Come on." 

"Wait wait!" the blue man cried out as he dragged out of the speeder, the armored man giving the driver a credit. 

"You better hurry it up, you don't want to stay on the ice too long." 

"We are heading out now, thanks." 

"No problem" The driver said as he sped off, the blue man watching it speed off, until a creature swallowed the speeder whole in the distance. 

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" "Get me out of here!" The blue man screeched as the armored man pulled him into the Crest, the hatch closing. "We have to get out of here right now!" 

The armored man quickly strapped himself into the pilot seat, flipping switches to turn on the Crest, the engines humming like a bantha. Soon enough, the Crest lifted from the ice, until it was dragged back down, something heavy restricting it from flying off. "Dank farrik!" The armored man yelled as he got out of his seat, heading down the ladder, and grabbed his weapon. 

"Be careful!" The blue man called as he patiently waited in the cockpit. 

The armored man opened the hatch yet again, and shocked the creature that was holding his beloved Crest down, "Take that!" he yelled as he shocked it again, causing it to release the hold of the ship. 

At last, freedom from the grasp of an ugly creature, "Wow, you really saved our asses" The blue man chuckled as the man came back into the cockpit, strapped in, and flew off. 

A couple hours passed by, the blue man shifting periodically in his seat, "Um, do you mind if I-I can use the bathroom, I really gotta go." 

Nothing but silence came from the armored man as he pressed a button, the back door opening, allowing him to use the so-called 'bathroom.' 

"Okay, guess you're not much of a talker, alright well excuse me then." The blue man slowly skedaddled down the ladder, continuing his talk into the ether since the so called bounty hunter was not uttering a single word. "Ah, found it, thanks, it might take a while, I'm molting!" he called up. 

Although, while the armored man flew the ship, the blue man got curious. He began to look around the Crest, trying to see a way to escape or incapacitate this man. With the press of a few buttons, a door opened, presenting a plethora of weapons, "Hmm" he mumbled to himself, pressing the same combination of buttons again to close it. 

"Ah, this feels a lot better!" "I haven't evacuated since the solstice." "Yeah, I was hoping to be free for life day, maybe even uh....." the blue man paused as he saw the carbon freeze victims, his heart beginning to race. "Get home to the family, but I guess that's not going to happen this year...". 

"Probably not" The armored man whispered, standing right beside the blue man, shoving him into one of the carbon freeze chambers. In an instant, he was frozen to a crisp, an ideal perfection for transportation. "Pathetic.." was all that was heard from the lips of the armored man as he returned to the cockpit, approaching the planet of Nevarro. 

"Fuck!" a loud squeak could be heard escaping your lips as you tried to land your beaten up cruiser. "Okay, okay!" you mumbled to yourself as you landed softly around other ships. "Phew...okay...made it in one piece....now lets see who we can talk to about bounties...". 

Unstrapping yourself from the pilot seat, you grabbed your ever so fluffy purple satchel, loaded all the leftover belongings you had, and opened the hatch of the ship; landing on the cold hard ground of the planet. "Time to make some new friends" You chuckled, heading into the small little town. 

As you walked down the long pathway, you were stopped by tiny little Jawas, "Um hi what do you guys want?" you said in their native tongue, kneeling in front of them. Shocked by an outsider speaking their language, they backed away, shaking their heads. "Fuckers" you huffed, standing back onto your two feet. 

"Hey, you, do you know where I can find the nearest bounty guild?" you asked a wandering citizen. 

"Haven't seen you around here?" 

"Well I just got here." 

"Hmm, the guild is by the white building, talk to Greef." 

"Thanks." "Okay, so, Greef, hope he is not unwilling to help me like some people around here." 

With that, you approached the white building, gathering all your strength in all the galaxies to face this new challenge. "Let's go." The door soon slid open, everyone staring at the supposed 'newcomer' that had just entered their guild. Gulping quietly, you stepped into the area, casually putting two fingers to your temple, using the power of the force to locate this man. 

With quick movements, you located the man known as Greef, "Are you Greef?" 

"Who's asking beautiful?" 

A sigh escaped your lips as you sat across from him, "My name is y/n and I come looking for a job." 

"A job, sweet heart, you are not even a member here." 

"Well, how do I become one?" 

"I don't think you look capable of handling such a job my dear." 

"I am pretty capable for your information, I have taken down armies mightier than you." 

Greef scoffed at such a young little thing knowing how to even use a blaster, "Listen, I know you seem eager bu-" 

With that, you grabbed his glass cup, smashing it into pieces before him, "I won't ask you again, how do I become a bounty hunter?" 

"Okay, okay, lets just relax here my dear why....Mando!" Greef laughed as he looked behind the girl to see the armored male approaching them. 

Mando slowly approached you two, throwing the tracking fobs of each of the bounties that he had caught onto the table. "You see here, this is a real hunter, he took on everyone of these bounties and won!" he laughed as he began to pull out credits to hand to Mando. 

"You see, you could easily give me a tracking fob and I could find these bounties." 

Greef sighed as he handed Mando the credits that he earned, also taking out bounty pucks, "Fine, you can at least start with this one, it’s on the planet of Terrasac." 

"You got any more?" Mando questioned as he saw him passing the bounty puck to the surprisingly attractive woman. 

"Sorry Mando, you got to leave some bounties for the rest of them, otherwise there won't be any jobs left." 

"She doesn't even belong to this guild." 

"Well, he's right y/n, he has been here the longest." 

"I have no home, no place to live, nothing to eat, and you are not even giving me a chance to have a job!" you yelled, standing from the table. 

"Hey girly take it easy" One of the other bounty hunters said, grasping onto your shoulder. 

A sudden rage filled your body as you grabbed the man by the neck, lifting him in the air easily, as if using a sort of unknown 'force'. 

"Hey hey, put him down!" Greef yelled as he also stepped out from the booth. 

Fighting the unbelievable urge to just grab your sabers and slice every piece of flesh in this room, you placed the man down on his two feet; the man scurrying off in fear. 

Mando tilted his head to the side, intrigued by the power that you possessed, "Hmm, give her the puck, she looks like she earned it." 

"Thank you....now....how does this work?" you questioned, Greef shaking his head at how stupid you could be.

 "Mando, I think you should take this little one under your wing and help her understand the rules of the guild; and I might give you another puck as reward for doing so." 

A loud sigh escaped Mando's lips as he grabbed the tracking fob and puck from you, "What is the second bounty you want me to find with this....girl?" 

Filled with joy that you were finally able to convince these jack holes that you were capable of doing this job, you approached Greef, listening to the conversation intently. 

"There is one job." 

"Let's see the puck." 

"No puck, face to face, direct commission, deep pocket." 

"Underworld?" 

"All I know is no chain code, do you want the chit or not?" 

Mando, hesitant at first, grabbed the chit, walking towards the door. 

"Hey wait!" You called to him as you walked out of the building after the armored man.

"She's going to get herself killed" Greef chuckled as he sat back down in his booth, watching the two leave. 

"Are you even listening to me?" 

"Yes I am listening to you." 

"But why are not talking to me?" 

"Because I don't know you and you don't know me, so there is nothing to talk about." 

"Oh you're a piece of work, you know that right" You huffed as you followed him down towards an alleyway. 

"Wait here, is that understood?" 

"Yes, I'm not some dumb jawa." 

"Good," Mando said sternly through his helmet. 

An hour soon passed, Mando appeared once again with new armor on the side of his arm, "Is that Beskar?" 

"Let's go." 

"But wait, we have to talk to the person who this chit belongs to." 

"I already did, so let's go." 

Looking confused as ever, you followed, heading out of the town and towards an enormous Razor Crest. "Wow, this is first class compared to the hunk of junk I came in"

"Get in." 

Quickly heading inside with no hesitation, you were hit with a cold sensation, "Why is it so cold in here?" you questioned, turning towards the slabs of carbon freeze victims. "Ah.....the bounties I see...". 

"The people of the guild are going to take them away, so don't worry about feeling cold."

"Thanks I guess...". 

Just as he said that, there were two men that entered the Crest, grabbing onto the slabs and placing them on a speeder. "Hmm" you hummed as your hands ran along the cool metal of the ship, your eyes wide and surprised by such an impressive piece of machinery. 

"You're all set Mando, thanks." 

"Thanks" Mando said to the others, the hatch slowly closing behind them. "You better strap in, you don't want to be down here when we are taking off." 

"Alright I'm going" you sighed as you climbed up the stairs to the cockpit, seating yourself beside the pilot seat. "Man, this is exciting, I can't wait to hunt." 

"Don't get too cocky, that'll be your downfall" Mando corrected you, strapping himself in and pressing the necessary buttons to get the Razor crest purring. 

Nervous about flying with an unknown stranger, you pulled out your stuffed bantha, grasping it tightly as the ship began to fly up into the air. 

Glancing back, Mando noticed how you clung to the stuffed creature, "You better not slow me down." 

"I won't" You growled as you saw the Crest enter the cold vacuum of space, the journey of finding your parents and masters killers beginning.
