#Fox finds a strange brother with trust issues and decides to adopt him

Pondering if I should add Jek-14 to the Forceful Intervention Verse.
Mostly because I think it'd be very interesting to have Fox, who's been tortured by a Sith Master, had his neck snapped by said Sith Master's pet project, been forsaken by the GAR for choosing the Guard's well being over Ahsoka's or Fives's (who he never met under better circumstances other than them being fugitives of the law), and is currently going through a purposeful vengeance arc where he searches for and rescues clones that were never taken in by Rex's rebellion (for this or that reason) to take them to Epifania where they can be free, only to come across this very strange anti-social clone with unnatural eyes, a lightsaber strapped to his belt, and a goddamn Force Lightening arm.
Now, Fox is (unsurprisingly and very understandably) suspicious and somewhat fearful of Force Sensitives. Especially ones that can zap him into oblivion. But this is a vod and, even if he doesn't act like it, Fox shouldn't just give up on him and carry on his merry way. So he won't. He's better than that. He has to be better than that if he hopes to save all of the renegades like himself and the Guard Remnant. It's both penance for his prior compliance and a vow to fuck Palpatine's shit up.
Meanwhile Jek-14 trusts literally no one because there's always some ulterior motive for everyone's vested interest in him (considering the circumstances of his creation). This strange clone showing up one day and insisting on dragging him somewhere where he can "live free among other clones", doesn't really strike him as a selfless endeavor. Especially considering Jek-14 doesn't see himself as a vod because he wasn't raised with other clones and has killed many in the past (he regrets it now that he's no longer Dooku's pet project, but there's no going back and he knows clones don't take kindly to outsiders who murder their kin even if they were just following orders/their life's purpose).
I'm not really putting it into words the way I want it because my brain is pretty fried from the current heat wave. But like...
This. This is what I see:
#star wars#the clone wars#forceful intervention au#commander fox#jek-14#Fox finds a strange brother with trust issues and decides to adopt him#even at risk of electrocution/dismemberment#meanwhile Jek-14 has never been shown brotherly love (or any love of any kind) and doesn't understand why Fox is being nice#surely this must be some kind of plan to use him as a weapon (again)

Arranged Marriage Teen Wolf Fan Fic Rec Part 1
The Wells of Living Water by kalpruna
Word Count:Â 30322 Chapter 1/1 STerek
King Derek takes a consort.
A Desperate Arrangement by mikkimouse
Word Count:Â 115506 Chapters 29/29 sterek
"I'm sorry, I believe there's something wrong with my hearing," Stiles said. "Because I could have sworn you just told me you set up a betrothal agreement with the Hales. A betrothal agreement involving me. Me."
Scott smiled his easygoing smile and nodded, which told Stiles no, he hadn't misheard a damn thing.
After seven years of lengthy negotiations, the treaty between the Hales and the Argents has fallen apart and the two countries fell into war.
Months later, there's an uneasy truce, thanks to the intervention of King Scott McCall, but it won't last. In a desperate attempt to maintain the peace, the Hales sign a treaty with the McCalls to marry Prince Derek to Prince Stiles Stilinski, King Scott's brother.
In the history of the world, there have been many better ideas.
Somewhere to start by lissadiane
Word Count:Â 33552 Chapter 1/1 Sterek
Stiles has always known that he isn't quite human - the plant life that tends to sprout around him whenever he gets upset or excited gives it away. He's never really fit in among the regular people in Beacon Hills and is determined to wait it out, go to college, and find somewhere to belong. He's forced to abandon those plans, however, after he desperately agrees to enter into an arranged marriage to save his father's life.
An arranged marriage with an angry, sometimes furry dude with trust issues. It's all very Beauty and the Beast, without the singing candlesticks.

âWho ⊠who am I to wed?â
A small flash of guilt covered the kingâs features before he was able to recover. âYour union will join the royal familiesâjoining our family to the Hales.â
Dread and sorrow sunk in Stilesâ stomach as he closed his eyes.
There was only one Hale left unharmed by the great fire that nearly wiped out the entire royal familyâthe Dread Wolf of Triskelia, Crowned King Derek Hale.

Derek doesn't expect much from his arranged marriage. When his inattentive husband, Lord Stiles Stilinski, tells him he's free to look for a lover, he doesn't know where to start, until a dashing bandit named the Red Fox catches his eye. ~ The Fox winks again. âHave a good night, Derek,â he purrs in a sultry tone, and then climbs back on the horse and disappears into the night. Derek walks up the path towards the manor in a daze, and it isnât until heâs inside when he realizes he never told the Fox his name or where he lived.
The light in the woods by discontededwinter
Word Count:Â 12293 Chapter 8/8 Sterek
To honour a treaty with the people of a strange land, Derek Hale, prince of the kingdom of Triskelion, has to marry Stiles.
Selection Criteria By Bunnywest
Word Count:Â 74955 Chapters 17/17 Steter
Stiles knew there were people out there who viewed pack selection invitations as a form of slavery, a tangible reminder that werewolves were the dominant species who got what they wanted. They were the same people who looked at the bite as a burden rather than a gift, who claimed that the invitations weren't invitations as much as they were a summons that couldn't be ignored.
Personally? Stiles couldnât see the downside. Heâd seen the members of the local pack, okay? So if the powerful and frankly gorgeous Hales ever decided they wanted to swoop in and basically adopt him, and if somewhere down the line he got supernatural powers and a partner, maybe hot like burning Derek Hale?
Sign him the fuck up.

West Week Ever: Pop Culture In Review - 6/9/17
 In an interesting shake-up over at CBS, Erinn Hayes has been let go from her role as wife to Kevin James in Kevin Can Wait. They say that the show is going in a new direction, which necessitated the firing. But hereâs where it gets interesting. Leah Remini, who played Jamesâs wife on King of Queens, popped up in the season finale as Jamesâ former cop partner. Well, just before announcing Hayesâs departure, CBS announced that Remini would be joining the show next season as a series regular. Now, if youâve never seen Kevin Can Wait, Kevin James plays a former NYC cop who tries to figure out how to adjust to his recent retirement. Based on the season finale, though, it seems like Jamesâs character might be coming out of retirement. Itâs just a strange move, seeing as how the show ended the season as the #1 new comedy on network TV â hardly a situation that necessitated a retooling of the show. Part of what critics praised was Hayesâs portrayal of Jamesâs wife of 20 years. How do you just gloss over that relationship? I mean, theyâve gotta kill her off, but unless you do a time jump, youâve gotta slog through all the grief stuff, which doesnât lend itself well to a multicam comedy. And if theyâre gonna fast track a relationship between James and Remini, will the audience accept it? It really feels like they blew a sure thing and, if they wanted to recreate The King of Queens, thy shouldâve just revived The King of Queens! Iâve said that online since Kevin was announced!
Speaking of Remini, Iâm starting to think sheâs a Scientology double agent. Bear with me here: Scientology is a well-connected organization in Hollywood that allegedly has the power to ruin your career with the information that they have on their members. If you ever leave the church, youâre pretty much done. Just look at the list of former Scientologists. On that list, Remini and Jeffrey Tambor are the one ones who even have a semblance of a steady career right now, and Tambor kinda skirted the issue by saying he never really joined the church. Remini, however, joined up as a child, and was a HUGE booster of the church. Then, in 2013, she turned on the church â not for its negative views on homosexuality (which is why Crash director Paul Haggis left) or its alleged illegal activities. No, she left because she got her feelings hurt after leadership clapped back at her. At Tom Cruiseâs wedding to Katie Holmes, Remini asked why church leader David Miscavigeâs wife wasnât in attendance, and they basically told her she didnât have clearance for that info (formal speak for âNunyo Biznazzâ). She didnât trust that answer, and went further to file a missing persons report on Mrs. Miscavige. Then, she made it her mission to publicly discredit Miscavige, criticizing his leadership, citing reports of abuse in the Sea Org, and more. She went straight to the TOP with her blame game, yet NOTHING has happened to her. In fact, itâs probably rejuvenated her career. She got a successful show on A&E called Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, where sheâs basically telling all their secrets. When the show debuted, the church issued a statement attacking her. Yet, sheâs working more now than she was before. So, thereâs two things happening here: either Scientology isnât as powerful and litigious as weâve been led to believe OR theyâre in on it. Itâs yin and yang. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. While Scientology has its critics, it never really had an enemy before. Why not create one where they could control the narrative? Itâs like learning that Captain America has secretly been Hydra the whole time. Long story short, Iâm not entirely convinced sheâs left the church, especially over something as trivial as whatâs reported to have started the whole thing. And sheâs laughing all the way to the bank.
In other TV news, Tia and Tamera Mowry (yeah, they got married and have new hyphenated last names, but I ainât got time for all that) are trying to get a Sister, Sister revival off the ground. And I donât know anyone who wants this. If you were cool back in the 90s you probably never watched Sister, Sister, where a set of adopted twins didnât realize they were twins until a chance meeting in a department store, a la The Parent Trap. Then they all move in together. It was the definition of âmediocreâ, yet once ABC canceled it, it gained a new life over on The WB. The most memorable thing about it was that Marques âBatmanâ Houston, of the R&B group Immature/IMx, played their annoying neighbor Roger (kinda like a watered down Steve Urkel), and theyâd constantly yell âGo home, Roger!â at him. Other than that, it was just a bunch of zany, mistaken identity twin shit â stuff that Iâd hope adult Tia and Tamera had outgrown by now. Whatâs the story to tell? They both get divorced, and move in together with their kids? Sorry, Kate & Allie, Getting By, and the upcoming Ravenâs Home have already covered that old chestnut. Are they single in the city, doing the same twin shit? Not interested. I donât have a lot of faith in this one getting picked up, though, because theyâre far behind where they need to be. Right now, they say theyâre looking for a show runner to guide the project, but then theyâd have to find a network. Sister, Sister was NO Full House, so I doubt Netflix would be interested. If anything, the only place Iâd put it right now would probably be Freeform, even though the twins are slightly older than the target demo of that channel. Let this just be a lesson that not everything needs to be revived.
In other television news, DCâs Legends of Tomorrow has cast Tala Ashe as Muslim âhacktivistâ Zari Adrianna Tomaz for season 3. Sheâs a computer whiz from 2030, so basically the teamâs got their own Oracle/Felicity now â not that they really need it, with Gideon and all. Anyway, in comics Tomaz is actually an Egyptian who uses the Amulet of Isis to transform into the hero Isis. Before the New 52 reboot of the DC Universe, Isis was an important character in the weekly series 52, as she was in a relationship with Black Adam, and her brother, Osiris, was eaten by Sobek. Oh, and she had a cheesy TV show in the 70s. None of thatâs gonna be in the Legends, Iâm sure. Given the current political climate, and how loaded the name âIsisâ is right now, I doubt theyâll actually ever call her that onscreen, either.
Song of the Week
youtube
Today I give you âVampiresâ, by The Midnight. My pal and thrifting partner, âSpecial Forcesâ, and I decided that this is the official theme song for Thrift Justice should it ever become a real show. Synthwave AND saxophone?! I wanna direct Skinemax movies just so I can score them with this entire album. So sexy. Right now, Thrift Justice is a USA drama circa 1990, and I ainât got no problems with that!
Things You Might Have Missed This Week
Modern Familyâs Sarah Hyland will guest star on Freeformâs Shadowhunters, which kinda sounds like a step backâŠ
Speaking of Freeform, theyâve ordered a pilot for an American adaptation of UK hit Misfits. The network is a good home for something like this, but Iâm still pissed over the American adaptation of Skins, soâŠ
Rudy Huxtable herself, Keshia Knight Pulliam, escorted TV dad Bill Cosby to the first day of his rape trial. Whatever. Call me when Lisa Bonet shows up.
In next level pettiness, Taylor Swift put her entire catalog back on Spotify at midnight â at the very moment Katy Perry released her album âWitnessâ
According to Dan Aykroyd, Paul Feig blew his chance at a Ghostbusters sequel because he overran his budget on unnecessary reshoots. Sony refuted the figures Aykroyd presented, saying the estimates were off by about NINETY percent. Woo!
Jennifer Connelly will join Daveed Diggs in TNTâs Snowpiercer pilot, playing the person who makes the daily announcements on the train. Exciting!
Tom Cruise revealed that the title of the Top Gun sequel will be Top Gun: Maverick. I wonder if John McCain has any feelings about that. Coherent feelings, not ramblings about the DiamondbacksâŠ
Speaking of Cruise, his The Mummy reboot opens today, and reviewers have called it âthe worst Tom Cruise movie everâ. Wow.
Singer/actress/sister of Ray J Brandy was found unconscious on a Delta flight, and the doctor who came to her rescue was reportedly Kim Kardashianâs uncle! Considering Ray J put that family on the map, I figure itâs time the Kardashians did something to return the favor.
Gotham stars Morena Baccarin and Ben McKenzie got married. Knowing that show, itâll probably revealed that theyâre Bruceâs real parents or some shit. Itâs not like it pays attention to any of the rest of the lore, so why not?
Fox canceled 24 Legacy after a low-rated single season, but theyâre still committed to the 24 brand. Theyâre reportedly developing an anthology series to take the show back to its real-time roots
youtube
Like Peter denied Jesus, Jerry Seinfeld denied THREE requests for a hug from Kesha. I donât blame him!
In one of the strangest deals Iâve ever heard of, Epix has inked a deal to stream its content directly to 2018 Honda Odyssey  minivans
Sony will begin selling clean versions of some of their hit movies. If youâve ever accidentally bought a clean version of an album from Walmart, you can see why this decision might anger some folks
Hank Williams Jr is back singing the opening to Monday Night Football for the first time since 2011. I guess all his rowdy friends will be over after they finish burning a few more crossesâŠ
George and Amal Clooney welcomed twins Ella and Alexander
Former Power Rangers director/producer/fight coordinator Koichi Sakamoto will direct the upcoming Ultraman Geed series, focusing on the son of the evil Ultraman Belial. Yeah, those words mean something to someone out there.
Newcomer Blu Hunt has been cast as Danielle Moonstar in the upcoming New Mutants spinoff of the X-Men films.
A live action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop is being developed, and my heart weeps. As one of the few anime series Iâve watched, and loved, I kinda hope this dies in development hell
Hackers released 8 stolen episodes of ABCâs upcoming game show, Funderdome, and nobody cared.
Donald Glover will be retiring her Childish Gambino hip hop persona after his next album.
We got our first poster for the Black Panther film.

92% on Rotten Tomatoes
$103 million opening weekend domestic box office
$220 million opening weekend global box office
Third highest opening for a DC film
Most successful female-directed film
Mot expensive female-directed film, with a budget of $150 million

Youâve seen it by now, right? RIGHT?! Then, what are you waiting for? For these reasons, and more, Wonder Woman once again had the West Week Ever.
