#adventures with the corries

[seeking-elsewhither]

I am once again asking you all to keep an eye out for that heart of mine.

Okay, can all of you please do me a favor?

If any of you happen to see a heart running around with a dagger embedded, do give me the direction it went sprinting off in. Mine just fell out and sped away somewhere, and I feel kinda light-headed and breathless.

Thanks.

Masterlist

Hey, I figured it was about time I sat down and put one of these together, as I have a lot of fics and it can be rather confusing, even for me.

I’ve split them into categories, gen, ship fics and series. I have also linked a few of my cosplay posts.

I am very much ship and let ship.  I realize that not everyone out there ships the same people.  I am too old and too tired to get into shipping wars and discourse.  I have literally about a thousand other things I would rather do than judge someone based on their shipping preferences.  I don’t block or blacklist or go through people’s profiles to see what they ship.  There is no DNI if you ship xyz or if I find out you ship xyz you will be blocked.  I don’t have time for that.  If I don’t like something I see on someone’s feed, I move on with my life.  That said, I’ll give almost anything a read.  I realize that is not everyone’s cup of tea and I respect that. 

I would sincerely appreciate the same courtesy.  If you see something I have written here and it is not your jam, absolutely fine, no hard feelings.  Please don’t be like, oh, I’d love to read this but it has xyz ship in it, eww.  We’re all adults here.  Fandom is supposed to be fun, let’s keep it that way, shall we?

I need more of Thrill and parkour badass!reader please 🥺

I love this so much 😩 I can’t even word right now, but please know I am obsessed with this!

I had a real hard time trying to think of a song to send you for the song prompt. After hunting through so many of my playlists I settled on : Cop Car by Keith Urban https://youtu.be/tBn6rKEmJy8

I really don't know how close this is to the song, it's just kind of what came into my head when I was listening to it.

Also another song I haven't heard before. But un surprising since most of the music I listen to is old!

Thanks for the ask and the new song to listen to.

Pairing: Thrill (Corrie Guard Clone OC) x Reader Content Warnings: "chase" scene. Word Count: 568

You ran, swinging upwards towards the roof tops.

“Thrill,” Fox said sharply.

“Sir?” Thrill answered.

“Catch up with that one,” Fox gestured to the roof. “The usual questions,”

“Yes, Sir!” Thrill returned as he followed you to the rooftops.

You ran at full speed, knowing you were no match for a clone. Few nat borns would be. But you figured you had a few things on your side.

First of all, it was the middle of the summer. At least it was in this hemisphere of the city-planet. You wore minimal clothing and though it was well past sundown the air was still stifling. Sweat poured down your body as you jumped from rooftop to roof top. If you were overheated in little clothing, how long would the trooper in full gear be able to go?

Second, did this clone know the city as well as you did? You were born here, raised here. You knew the streets blind. The beat of the city was in your very blood. The rooftops had been your playground since you were a teen. You've never seen a clone run the rooftops well.

Sure they could, but without practice it was purely physical skill and none of the instinct.

You were growing concerned because this particular clone wasn't only keeping up, he was catching up. You put on a burst of speed and began a descent to the street level, planning on heading to the lower levels.

He followed, still gaining. Two levels down, a third, now it was starting to become more sketchy. Neon lights from multiple dive bars glowed, people stumbled around mostly drunk this time of night.

The trooper caught up with you in a narrow alley as you were about to go down another level.

“Hey, wait,” he gasped, breathing as hard as you were. He grabbed your hand.

“Wait for you to arrest me?” You ask, attempting to pull your hand from his. “No thanks,”

“No, kriff,” he swore and used his other hand to pull his helmet off.

You took in his sweat sheened face, star tattoo and lime green curly mohawk and multiple piercings.

“Give me a minute to explain,” he said, “Damn you are as fast as a fathier,”

“Explain what?” you ask, paused by his appearance.

“The commander sent me, I'm Thrill,” he said.

“Nope, my cue to leave,” you said, trying to turn.

“Just give me a minute!” He insisted, “I don't want to hold you down, just want to talk to you,”

“Isn't this about the demonstration?” You asked.

“No, kind of...” he began. “Look, we know you are one of the good ones. Someone who wants to help us and not just cause trouble and make a lot of noise.”

“Sometimes that's what it takes,” you respond, stubborn.

He laughed, still breathless, “You are right, but I think your talent is elsewhere and I can put you in contact with the people you would be able to help the most. Would you be interested?”

“And if I were?” You asked.

“I'd give you a com frequency to contact, they'd give you the details I don't know,” Thrill answered.

“And you?” you asked.

Thrill grinned, “I'd give you mine and hope you'd contact me, it would be more fun to run with you,”

Song Fic Request- Send me another song!!!

On November 16th 1700 James Macpherson, the famous fiddling freebooter, was hanged at Banff.

Our second musician to meet his maker at the end of a rope, and like the last one, I posted about yesterday, it was an unjust ent. It is also the second post where a gypsy was judicially murdered by authorities...

He is often called the Robin Hood of Scotland, but there is a huge difference between Jamie MacPherson and the legendary outlaw of Sherwood Forest. James MacPherson existed in reality, many of his amazing adventures were real, and he really was hanged, in Banff on this day in 1700. He was just 25 years old. Robin Hood is a made up story.

The legend of Jamie MacPherson survives and grows to this day, his story has been much embellished over the centuries, so if you have heard the story before, and it’s a wee bit different it’s a bit like Chinese whispers, it’s what happens when stories are passed on by word of mouth over time.

Anyway who better to endorse the story than our national bard, as this tale does,have the testimony and approval of none other than Robert Burns. The involvement of our national Bard comes from the fact that more than 80 years after MacPherson’s execution, Burns rewrote the words of the song MacPherson’s Rant, supposedly written by the outlaw himself, that first appeared in print a year after James was put to death for the crime of being ... a Gypsy. That’s right – in Scotland at that time, you could be hanged just for being of the Roma race. Thankfully, we have moved on.

With rather more delicate lyrics than the original, Burns called the song MacPherson’s Farewell, and it has been sung for more than 200 years, the most famous version coming from the folk duo, The Corries.

The song though only tells a part of the extraordinary story of MacPherson, the Highland Freebooter, a supposed outlaw, swordsman of great repute, a musician of note, and composer of the tune that bears his name.

When delving into the story of MacPherson, it is often very difficult to distinguish between fact and fantasy, and yet again Sir Walter Scott pops up, cited as an authority on the story of MacPherson, except that Scott muddled things up and didn’t even get his place of execution correct, stating it was Inverness rather than Banff, but never let facts get in the way of a great story.

It was most certainly in the latter that MacPherson was hanged, and the final part of the proceedings of his trial is still extant. Sadly for MacPherson, the hereditary Sheriff of Banff, one Nicholas Dunbar, was determined to hang him, and pronounced this sentence for doom.

“Forasmeikle as you James McPherson, pannal (the accused) are found guilty by ane verdict of ane assyse, to be knoun, holden, and repute to be Egiptian (Gypsy) and a wagabond, and oppressor of his Magesties free lieges in ane bangstrie manner, and going up and down the country armed, and keeping mercats in ane hostile manner, and that you are a thief, and that you are of pessimae famae (worst repute).

“Therfor, the Sheriff-depute of Banff, and I in his name, adjudges and discernes you the said James McPherson to be taken to the Cross of Banff, from the tolbooth thereof, where you now lye, and there upon ane gibbet to be erected, to be hanged by the neck to the death by the hand of the common executioner, upon Friday next, being the 16th day of November instant, being a public weekly mercat day, betwixt the hours of two and three in the afternoon.”

As William Chambers wrote about MacPherson 170 years later in his Journal, volume 50: “In these old times, the Scottish local authorities went to work in a very peremptory way when they chanced to catch a band of marauders. The whole were summarily tried, hanged and done with.”

So wat did MacPherson do to earn such a fate? He was born in circa 1675, the illegitimate son of a laird, MacPherson of Invereshie, and a beautiful Gypsy woman. His father acknowledged his bastard son, and Jamie lived at Invereshie in Inverness-shire until his father died, reportedly killed by cattle thieves. James was taken into the care of his mother’s people.

Growing up tall, strong and handsome, somewhere along the way he acquired great skill as a swordsman and a fiddler – his fiddle and a replica of his sword can be seen in the Clan MacPherson Museum in Newtonmore. (as seen in the pics)

As a naturally charismatic figure he soon became leader of his own band of Gypsies. When working as tinkers, they were well liked by the common people of the north and north-east of Scotland, but MacPherson wanted greater wealth and soon turned into a “freebooter”, effectively a land-based pirate. He soon acquired the habit of annoying those in authority in various parts of the north east. He and his men were declared outlaws, not least for their habit of marching behind a piper into towns where markets were being held, there to relieve wealthy types of their cattle and other goods, though one anonymous writer claimed “no act of cruelty, or robbery of the widow, the fatherless, or the distressed was ever perpetrated under his command”. He was very similar to a Border Reiver.

Well most of this is the romanticised stuff that’s been embellished through the years, bu, in all probability, but there is evidence that he did distribute some of his ill-gotten gains among his Gypsy folk and the poor. So that’s where the Robin Hood similarities come from.

MacPherson’s band of "merry men" became notorious in a whole swathe of the country from Inverness to Aberdeen, and it was in the latter city that he was first captured and imprisoned. With the help of his most loyal outlaw, Peter Broune, Jamie made a daring escape, and he would repeat that feat when captured again.

In Keith in the autumn of 1700, MacPherson would not be so lucky. The Laird of Braco, Alexander Duff, and his retainers surprised MacPherson’s small band as they attended St Rufus’ Fair, no doubt with a little larceny in mind. Instead they found themselves in a fierce hand-to-hand fight in which one of MacPherson’s men was killed and he himself was captured after, it is said, a woman threw a blanket on top of him from the upper window of a house.

Firmly imprisoned in Banff, MacPherson was tried on November 8th for the capital crime of being an “Egyptian”. Never mind the fact that his father was a Scottish laird, MacPherson was doomed from the outset, and Sheriff Dunbar gave him the unwanted title of being the last man in Scotland to be condemned to die by a judge who gained his office by Heritable Jurisdiction.

In the week before his execution, MacPherson composed his Rant to a tune that he apparently devised himself though it is similar to an old folk tune that was heard in Moray and Aberdeenshire.

It is unlikely that, as legend has it, MacPherson actually played his song underneath his gallows, though a version which states that he broke his fiddle so that no-one else would ever play it has more truth. There is also no written evidence for the story that he was hanged ahead of the set time because Duff of Braco found out a pardon was being hurried to Banff.

The town clock was allegedly set 15 minutes fast and so MacPherson really was hanged before his time. The song was written down within a year, and became popular with the ordinary people of Scotland who took to the story of the man who danced and played his fiddle in the face of death at the hands of unpopular authority.

After Burns made his improvements to the song, and Walter Scott wrote his version, MacPherson’s fame spread internationally. None other than the famous Russian composer and pianist, Dmitri Shostakovich was inspired by MacPherson’s Farewell, one of the two Burns’ settings in his 1943 work Six Romances for Bass, otherwise known as Six Romances to Verses by English (sic) Poets. The other is ‘O wert thou in the cauld blast.

For those that don’t know, after the Russian Revolution in 1917, Burns became known as the people's poet, as his class-aware poems about less-heroic and labouring class subjects strongly resonated with the Soviet regime. Throughout the Soviet years his poems sold millions of copies his songs were regularly heard on radio, TV and in famous films, hence Shostakovich ‘s awareness and admiration of our Ploughman poet.

The most famous version of the Rant is still that written by Burns, and the one below in the version sung by The Corries and most folk singers here in Scotland There were other verses, either from oral tradition or written down, which tell the fuller story.

he most famous version of the Rant is still that written by Burns, and the one below in the version sung by The Corries. There were other verses, either from oral tradition or written down, which tell the fuller story.

“It’s little did me mither know, When first she cradled me, That I would become a rovin’ boy, And die on the gallows tree.

“There’s some come here to see me hang, And some to steal my fiddle, But before that I do part with her, I’ll break her through the middle.

“He’s ta’en his fiddle into both his hands, And breaked her on his knee, Said when I am gane no ither hands, Shall ever play on thee.

“The reprieve was comin’ ower the Brig o Banff tae set MacPherson free, But they pit the clock a quarter afore, and they hanged him frae the tree.”

Fareweel ye dungeons dark and strang

The wretch’s destiny,

MacPherson’s time will no be lang

On yonder gallows tree.

Chorus – Sae rantingly, sae wantonly,

An’ sae dauntingly gaed he.

He played a tune and he danced a-roon,

Below the gallows tree.

It was by a woman’s treacherous hand that I was condemned tae dee

She stood abune a windae ledge and a blanket threw ower me

(chorus)

Oh what is death, but parting breath,

On many’s the bloody plain,

I’ve dur’d his face, and in this place

I scorn him yet again!

(chorus)

I’ve liv’d a life of sturt and strife;

I die by treachery,

It burns my heart I must depart,

An’no’ avenged be.

(chorus)

So tak off these bands fae roon’ my hands,

And gie to me my sword;

And there’s no a man in all Scotland,

But I’ll brave him at a word.

(chorus)

So farewell night, thou parting light,

An’ a’ beneath the sky!

May coward shame, disdain his name,

The wretch that dur’na die!

Sae rantingly, sae wantonly,

An’ sae dauntingly gaed he.

He played a tune and he danced a-roon,

Below the gallows tree.

A final note, based on the fact that in the town of Macduff, where MacPherson was well liked and had the protection of the local laird, there stands Doune parish church which has a clock tower with only has three faces. The side that looks across the Bay to Banff is blank, as seen in the last pic.

Local lore has it that the people of Macduff wouldn’t give the time of day to the folk of Banff, but another version is that the tower was made that way as a gesture of disapproval to Banff for hanging “their” Jamie MacPherson. Even three centuries after his death, MacPherson is still the stuff of legend.

The illustration of MacPherson is by my late friend, Larry Andrews, who passed away in January this year.

Full Voting Form

We got some requests to include the full list of ships that had been voted on for people to mine for ideas/see who didn't make it, so we are providing!

Additionally, we wanted to include a shout out to the ships that were nominated but did not advance to the voting round due to having too many fics! This implies a perception they should be more popular? So while they didn't count for this event, maybe it will still get some folk's brains turning.

Crosshair/Howzer (33) Boost/Sinker: What's not to love about this pair? They survive the Malevolence, their banter is pretty silly, they have each other's backs fighting off droids (with their General) that plan to off them in space and plus their names match (Boost being the opposite of Sinker). (39) Fives/Fox: So much angst potential, as tragedy or fix-it (39) Echo/Fives/Tup (42) Dogma/Fox (43) Echo/Fives/FoxI know technically there's 43 fics on Ao3, but half of those are just podfics of the other half. Regardless, Fox deserves to be sandwiched between a pair of beefy ARCs who will lovingly bully him into taking care of himself! (43) Fox/Wolffe (116) Crosshair/Mayday (137)

Below the cut is the ships as they were displayed on the voting form including pitches:

Commander Fox

Alpha-17/Cody/Fox

Alpha-17/Fox

Appo/Fox: Being the clone commander working for an active Sith Lord isn't fun, it'd be nice to have someone who can sympathize

Bacara/Fox

Bacara/Fox/Neyo/Wolffe

Boba/Fox: I'm haunted by the human/elf dynamic, the childhood friend who was your age and is suddenly very much not. First he's younger, just a little baby, then he's your age and you're friends, then he's your big brother, then your babysitter...then he's an adult, somehow going grey even faster than all the rest. soon enough he'll look like your father, just like he's meant to. (plot ideas range from canon compliant with complicated age issues to time travel AUs)

Cards/Fox: Commander Cards was a canon commander in the Star Wars Adventures minigame Card Commander (in which he taught the player how to play the game) and was stationed within the Temple, and separate from the Guard. As such, I truly think he and Fox are each others gossip buddies, with good natured rivalries between the temple troopers and the Corrie guard. If some of those bets result in them falling into bed and “blowing off steam”, can you really blame them?

Cody/Fox/Rex: i just think they can make each other worse. ya know. they are compelling both for the canon angst aspects but also because i think the three of them together would create a perfect storm of fucking with each other. u know that post thats like "i'll take care of u" "like hell u will" thats these three 2 me. like they make each other a little bit miserable but also if they could they'd live in each others skin.

Cody/Fox/Wolffe

Fox(Commander)/Fox (Sergeant): just the name shenanigans alone make this one worthwhile

Fox/Hound: I'll be honest I don't have much to say other than they compel me

Fox/Hound/Stone/Thire/Thorn

Fox/Hound/Wolffe: The canids! aka the three clones most likely to be turned into werewolves without anyone else noticing any difference

Fox/Jesse

Fox/Kix: Fixkox

Fox/Mayday

Fox/Neyo

Fox/Stone/Thire/Thorn

Commander Cody

Bacara/Cody

Boil/Cody/Waxer

Boil/Cody/Waxer/Wooley

Cards/Cody

Cody/Crosshair: There aren't many regs Crosshair respects, but Cody might be the first, because he believed that Crosshair and his brothers could be more than just defective product. And after O66, he believed Crosshair could be more than just a tool of the empire, too./They are so competent together

Cody/Crosshair/Hunter

Cody/Echo

Cody/Echo/Fives

Cody/Echo/Fives/Rex

Cody/Echo/Rex

Cody/Fives

Cody/Fives/Rex

Cody/Hevy

Cody/Howzer

Cody/Kix

Cody/Longshot: "Cody is a pivotal and well known trooper, sometimes having a lover that fades into the background of the wash of faces keeps them safe, and keeps people out of their business. Longshot didn’t stand out initially, to the Commander, but he was always there. Always taking down the droid in his blind spot seconds before disaster. Always attentive, and Cody appreciated it. Then came the Citadel raid, and Cody knew he should have kept him closer, but he didn’t. And now he won’t be able to ever again. Great Angst prompt, opportunity for “am I good enough” and “I should have been better” thoughts. 10/10 def recommend "

Cody/Mayday: they are both CCs and quite as likely to have grown up together as any of Cody’s fanon batchmates.

Cody/Mayday/Oddball

Cody/Mayday/Rex

Cody/Ordo

Cody/Rex/Wolffe

Cody/Tech

Alpha-17/Cody: I think this ship is a special case in terms of cloneshipping because of the wildly changing potential dynamic between them.

Meeting in Alpha-17's ARC training program, where Cody's individuality is encouraged for the first time, and the usual hangups of standard issued Clones are thrown out the window, a certain cruel favoritism is born that is just barely hidden behind this instructor/instructee dynamic. Cody and Alpha 17 are toe to toe in terms of stubbornness, which is a bit of an issue considering their borderline diametrically opposed views of their world up until that point./ Alpha 17 has his ruthless realism and willingness to sacrifice anything and everything for the mission, not because of some grand moral reason or care for the good or the Republic, but because those were his orders, alongside a deep seeded belief that he really is not much more than a product (with all the detachment and self denial that brings). And Cody who deep down does everything he does out of a strong belief in justice and the value of sentient life (as long as that life is mostly aligned with the ideals of the Republic, the indoctrination is not easy to escape), truly believing that if he's just competent enough he'll manage to minimize death and destruction and actually secure a future for his brothers.

Cody becomes a better version of himself in many ways during ARC training, and is thrilled despite it all by Alpha 17's honesty, competence and ability to give him a challenge (in more ways than he can imagine), while Alpha 17 physically feels weaker as a result of Rattatak, and also troubled by his new fascination with this specific cadet that feels like he was just sent to make his life more complicated than it needed to be (His attraction to him serves as one more thing he can't control that forces him to come to terms with his own needs and desires. Whether he actually does something about it or just lets it boil beneath the surface is another thing).

It's not quite that healthy of a dynamic, there's a lot of assuming what is best for the other without taking their input into consideration and pushing the wrong buttons at the worst possible times, but they're also operating in a wavelength that the rest of the ARC cadets haven't caught onto yet.

Alpha 17 is simultaneously trying to shape the "perfect" commander to ensure that Cody will survive (He can't begin to imagine a future where Cody dies because of his personal incompetence as a trainer), but also fighting against his own personal desire to keep the flame that makes him Cody intact, both because of fascination and hope./ After Cody graduates the program, he rapidly rises to his status of Marshal Commander and actually has the chance to put his beliefs to the test, letting his work almost completely envelop his time in the process. Alpha 17 feels Cody's absence hit him like a truck and finds himself unable to pretend than he can go back to the way he operated before, he starts preparing to go back into action, because he is at his most certain when he is in a fight.

They barely meet. Cody is too busy, Alpha 17 wouldn't be caught dead asking to talk for non work related reasons, but he at least checks up on battle reports all the time. Eventually he gets back into action, but not tied to any one specific battalion./ Their dynamic at this point has reversed, with Cody being the one giving out orders and expecting perfection from Alpha 17, having a lot of things on the line and balancing lives like they're pieces on a chessboard, and Alpha 17 being the one who has his previous way of operating challenged constantly and learning new things about himself every day (against his will)./ Them butting heads is something that doesn't change, except the stakes are way higher, so the fallout is usual much harsher between them. However the sheer thrill and adrenaline of working beside someone who is so certain in your skills and competence that they would trust you to order them to hell and be back by sunset, and follow through with it, is enough to keep things even a little at bay. In the rare times where they fight together their minds miraculously sync up flawlessly, only until the adrenaline wears off.

(This ended up being a bit long and a bit specific, so trim and edit freely! Thank you for taking the prompt into consideration!!!)

501st

Alpha-17/Echo/Fives

Alpha-17/Fives: Fives would be all over that in arc training

Blackout/Hardcase

Boil/Rex/Waxer: So much angst potential with Umbara, whether as tragedy or fix-it

Cut/Slick

Cutup/Droidbait/Echo/Fives/Hevy

Dogma/Echo

Dogma/Echo/Fives/Slick/Tup: A terrible horrible polycule (derogatory)(affectionate)

Dogma/Fives

Dogma/Fives/Tup

Dogma/Fox (Sgt)

Dogma/Glitch

Dogma/Glitch/Sev

Dogma/Jesse/Kix

Dogma/Rex

Dogma/Sev

Echo/Fixer: Echo and Fixer are so similar in the beginning. Both fixated so much on the regulations and doing everything by the books. But Echo evolves from that, he grows and learns and finds a way to exist after and outside of those and Fixer could lern so much from him, find a way to live outside of the Empire as well. I just think they could be really good for each other.

Echo/Kix: Echo and Kix caring for each other and helping each other. They being there for each other and trying to figute out how to be one of the few clones who survived the Clone Wars and the aftermath of order 66 and the slow decline of the importance of the clones. And Kix helping Echo through the trauma and the aftermath of the torture he endured is just something that captures my imagination and wont let it go./Look, I read this fic one time and it stuck with me, okay?

Echo/Mayday

Echo/Mayday/Rex

Gregor/Rex

Hardcase/Jesse/Kix

Howzer/Rex: Your honor, hot plus hot equals OH HOTT. and I really like the idea of them getting involved amid all the drama and tragedy of running the clone resistance.

Jesse/Kix/Rex

Jesse/Kix/Sister: Bc Sister needs two amazing supportive boyfriends <3

Mayday/Rex

Rex/Stone: Rex, after all the 501 chaos, might develop a taste for something steady and stable, and Stone is steady enough to put up even with Jar-Jar, so why not?

Rex/Tup

Tup/Wolffe

Vaughn/Sterling: There are two fics, and only one features Sterling/Vaughn as the main couple.

The Clone Wars (Other than already listed)

Alpha-17/Wolffe

Bacara/Neyo: theyre both misunderstood loners who only like each other. what more could you want?

Bacara/Ponds: They're both underrated badasses, Neyo's two big brothers. But most importantly they complete each other's perfectly. They're just as competended and strong as the other, but Ponds is someone with who Bacara can be soft. And Bacara is someone Ponds can rely on freely without feeling like he should be the protector. (And Ponds's paint look a bit like a mix of the 91st with Bacara's)

Bacara/Wolffe

Blackout/Hevy

Blackout/Spark

Bly/Doom: They're both the sweetest and kindest CCs but in opposite ways and would just be adorable together

Bly/Keeli: "This ship resulted somewhat out of my own headcanons, in which Cody & Bly are batchmates and childhood best friends, and Rex & Keeli are the same. Codex is my favorite ship, and I've always liked the idea of them falling in love during command/ARC training on Kamino. And, well, Bly and Keeli have pauldrons like Rex, so it would make sense if they were there too. I like to think they met through their best friends and fell in love from there, but they're a sweet pair no matter the circumstances of their relationship. This ship has the opportunity for a lot of fluff in the sweet moments, and plenty of angst about being separated, since they probably don't get to see each other even as often as Cody and Rex do."

Boil/Howzer

Boil/Waxer/Wooley

Boost/Comet/Sinker/Wolffe

Boost/Sinker/Wolffe: They're all that's left of the first wolfpack, and no one else can fully understand what they went through together

Colt/Wolffe

Comet/Gregor: there are only 9 works and all of them are mine ?

Comet/Wooley: there are 4 works and half of them are mine. furthermore, they're both so vod'ika ?

Cutup/Droidbait/Hevy

Doom/Thorn: Because Marvel, that's why

Fireball/Gregor

Fireball/Howzer

Fireball/Howzer/Nemec

Fireball/Nemec

Gregor/Wolffe: Very fun pairing with like 16 fics. Energetic fun boy x grumpy serious boy. Couldn’t get better than this

Hevy/Nub

Hevy/Slick

Hound/Stone: There are so many possibilities that can happen between them as they both have so little screen time and 0 together. Plus, who doesn't like a corrie pair that comes with a cute lizard dog?

Hound/Thire

Howzer/Keeli: They were both deployed on Ryloth and quite possibly knew each other because of it. They also both understood laying down their life to what’s right and to protect the people of Ryloth. I’ve always called this ship KeelHowz (KillHouse) in my head, and isn’t that badass?

Howzer/Mayday

Jek/Rhys

Jester/Slick

Mayday/Wolffe

Neyo/Ponds

Punch/Sketch

Sandwich Clone/Soup Clone

Bad Batch

Boba/Omega: the two unaltered clones (and imo, prime folgers commercial material)

Crosshair/CX-2 (Not Tech): There was something decidedly charged about CX-2's obsession with Cross. There's history there, I know it.

Crosshair/Echo/Emerie/Hunter/Tech/Wrecker

Crosshair/Echo/Fives/Hunter

Crosshair/Echo/Fives/Hunter/Tech/Wrecker

Crosshair/Echo/Hunter: Listen, all dynamics within this ship are impeccable: Crosshair and Hunter are soulmates since childhood, Echo and Hunter are squad co-parents, and Crosshair and Echo are trauma buddies who could sass the CIS into surrender. There's so much potential here.

Crosshair/Echo/Hunter/Rex/Tech/Wrecker

Crosshair/Emerie

Crosshair/Emerie/Hunter

Crosshair/Emerie/Hunter/Tech/Wrecker

Crosshair/Fives

Crosshair/Fives/Hunter

Crosshair/Fives/Hunter/Tech/Wrecker

Crosshair/Fox: I read in a post that Fox had sniper training or listed sniper as one of his main skills, and since then I've wanted to see what would either be the best or the worst relationship dynamic ever.

Crosshair/Hunter/Mayday

Crosshair/Hunter/Tech

Crosshair/Hunter/Tech/Wrecker: holds out hand. you too can join me in increasing the number of og bad batch poly fics. together we can right this egregious wrong that has been done.

Crosshair/Hunter/Wrecker

Crosshair/Howzer/Mayday: They all deserve to live and Crosshair deserves two boyfriends who will both challenge him and dote on him.

Echo/Emerie

Echo/Emerie/Fives

Echo/Emerie/Rex

Echo/Hunter/Tech/Wrecker

Emerie/Fives

Emerie/Hunter

Emerie/Rex

Emerie/Tech

Fireball/Wrecker: height/size difference and cooking for each other :D what's not to love?!

Fives/Hunter

Gree/Tech: It's nerd4nerd. AND height difference (if you consider that Tech is a lot taller than regular clones)! What's not to ship?

Gregor/Wrecker

Hunter/Jesse/Rex

Hunter/Mayday

Hunter/Tech/Wrecker

Hunter/Wrecker: Wrecker is overall an underrated character in shipping. Him and Hunter have a very nice dynamic of sunshine x broody. Around ish 25 fics on ao3 (some of them being mistaken tags)

Legends/Republic Commando

A'den/Sull: A’den helped Sull desert the GAR

Boil/Horns: because they both have Death Watch insignia in their armor paint (Horns throws away his DW-painted helmet by the end of the comic he is in) but I think it would be cool to explore if they got that way of thinking from a common source.

Boss/Fi

Boss/Niner: Their ship has so much potential but what really got me hooked on them is Boss constantly surprising Niner with how blunt and open he is with everything, even his affection and love for Niner and Niner being one of the few people that manage to calm Boss down enough so that he doesn't run himself into the ground and yet there is so much more for them that I didn't even think of. I think I'd just love to see more of them than just as a background ship.

Boss/Sev

Corr/Fi

Corr/Mereel: There's no way the only thing Mereel taught Corr was just how to be a commando/they just make my brain go brrrr

Corr/Stone

Darman Skirata/Niner Skirata: Those two just deverse more love. They've such an interesting dynamic that could go either supportive, codependent, possessive and I'd love to see what people could come up with for them

Darman/Fi

Fi/Ordo: For my pitch, I humbly submit this excerpt from Chapter 2 of Triple Zero: “Ordo’s always on time,” Fi said, trying to take his mind off his churning stomach. “Don’t fret, Sarge.” “Your buddy …,” Darman teased. “Rather have him for a friend than an enemy.” “Ooh, he likes you. Hobnobbing with ARC officers from the Bonkers Squad, eh?” “We have an understanding,” Fi said. “I don’t laugh at his skirt, and he doesn’t rip my head off.” Yes, Ordo had taken a shine to him. Fi hadn’t fully understood it until Skirata had taken him to one side and explained just what had happened to Ordo and his batch on Kamino as kids. So when Fi had thrown himself on a grenade during an anti-terrorist op to smother the detonation, Ordo had marked him out as someone who’d take an awfully big risk to save comrades. Null ARCs were psychotic—bonkers, as Skirata put it—but they were unshakably loyal when the mood struck them.”

Glitch/Hevy

Glitch/Horns

Glitch/Sev

Hevy/Spar

Maze/Niner

Maze/Ordo: they're worsties (affectionate)

I need more lore on that very attractive Fletcher Jennings (taly)

a bit of a rundown of (no. 1) for you :)

- his name is huw jones, but he honestly goes by ‘no 1’ more than he ever goes by ‘huw’. he probably thrives off the ego rub

- he’s 29 years old physically, 159 years old technically. (24 september 1864) i could get into my lore about how they age, etc. but i feel like that could all be compressed into one giant post.

- however! speaking of an ego rub, though talyllyn is old af (turning 160 this year!) he still has a bit of a ‘princely’ manner in how he carries himself. i think a lot of people would think him to be humble like his rws counterpart (skarloey), but i think the fact that he ran nearly continuously from 1865-1945 is a little bit of a flex if i do say so myself. he wants to be celebrated for that, wouldn’t you?

- he’s got a crazy rivalry with the other engines on the railway, and chewed dolgoch out over the fact that he would rather buy ‘replacements’ (no. 3 and no. 4) from the corris than give him a full overhaul (like no 2 and the volunteers could give him a complete overhaul with 50 GBP, but i digress)

- talyllyn has a lot of old victorian mannerisms. if you enter his room it’s like a time warp, a bit of nursing home core honestly. an old iron bed, floral prints, trinkets, the whole grandma gamut.

here’s a quote from railway adventure that i feel like is really fitting of just…no. 1

“…like everything else about the railway this room had remained firmly rooted in the Victorian age; it made no concession whatever to the 20th century, was not in the best state of repair and looked as if it had not been spring-cleaned within living memory. One end of it had been fitted up as a booking office with a long counter, a ticket cabinet and a ticket date stamping machine. This last was of the early pattern on which a change of date type can only be effected with the aid of some pointed instrument such as a penknife, and where the ink ribbon must be periodically wound back by hand.”

- according to railway adventure by LTC rolt (my main ref for no. 1) whenever no. 1 first arrived it was bouncy and wild due to its “horizontal motion” which makes me feel like he’s a lot more brisk than dolgoch.

- huw talks fast, and is a lot more charismatic. he goes “yup… indeed…aye…” in conversation while dolgoch goes “isn’t it?” and “mhm.”

- pre-preservation i feel like that no. 1 was the ‘preferred’ engine. it’s more a headcanon for me rather than fact, but i feel like the reason why no. 1 had so many overhauls in the past compared to no. 2 was because no 1 was the one who ran better after all of the ‘teething troubles’ were fixed.

- to me, even though the two are quite old, there is still a rivalry between no1 and no2 to this day. think a big brother vs little brother rivalry. the ‘i know better’ role, y’know?

i think that’s basically all i have now. it’s kind of funny bc no. 1 is actually the least developed of my narrow gauge humanization ocs, (that’s a mouthful) but please send more asks if you want to know more!!

Star Wars, Clone-Centric Fic Writing and Recs

What I'm writing:

Eidola: Also posted here, using the hashtag #eidola tcw fanfic

The mission was never to bring down the Empire. Not really. The mission was to save every single one of their chipped brothers. But if doing so helped break the Empire’s stranglehold on the galaxy? Well, that was just a bonus.

Caveat Emptor: Also posted here, using the hashtag #caveat emptor fanfic

Fox is compromised. He knows it, his brothers know it, but they'd been keeping a lid on things. They'd been investigating. Except now Fox has yet another hole in his memory and a terrible suspicion that CC-1010 had some something terrible during his most recent lapse.

Beneath the Surface: The Galaxy is a big place, and all of its diverse sentients have their own stories to tell. Romances, adventures, mysteries. For the clones, all too often, they are horror stories. Disconnected one-shots, which so far include the following:

Lazarus: Echo was cold.

Clocking Time: Coruscant wasn’t the same as Kamino. Commander Fox needed to retrain his instincts.

What I'm reading:

These fics aren't the only ones I'm currently reading, but they are the ones on long-term rotation in my browser tabs:

Dominoes by @meridiansdominoes

After their canon deaths, the members of Domino Squad wake up on Kamino with their memories intact. Fantastic plot, driven by the slow-burn suspense of a small number of characters with very limited power and knowledge of the future trying to steer events for the better.

And Your People Shall Never Be Destroyed by independent_variables

Kamino's production of the clone army doesn't make sense. CC-2224 keeps digging until he gets his answers. The story is strongly character-driven, and it has extra emotional impact precisely because we're seeing the events through child- to adolescent-aged Cody's eyes.

Corrie Red by @wreathedinscales

Something eldritch sets up shop within the Coruscant Guard. The Guard is surprisingly okay with this turn of events. This fic and its sequels/spinoffs swing from genuinely unsettling horror to unexpected humor. I'm glad I ventured outside of my usual wheelhouse and gave this one a try.

[the-starry-seas]

How *did* Graffiti get that name?

Okay SO.

Graffiti had some nicknames as a cadet but he never really *answered* to them, y'know? His buddies mostly just addressed him as 57, short for CT-3157. And he was pretty determined to stick with that until he found a name he liked.

Enter his assignment to the Coruscant Guard. The clones there are mostly called by numbers anyway, by the Senators and all, so he doesn't stand out quite as much for having a name that's a number.

And then one day he goes back to the barracks, and Rence's half of their room is absolutely covered in wall paintings. He always knew she was an artist, but this is something of a surprise. Still, they're good friends at that point, so he asks what all the different drawings mean, and which one is her favourite, and all that good stuff.

He also asks her to draw over his side of the room to match. She teases him a little about being all matchy-matchy (he's a bit notorious among the Guard for frequently repainting his armour so it doesn't look scratched at all, which also led to him being nicknamed Shiny because he's still all spick and span). But she's also delighted to have a chance to expand her canvas, so of course she agrees.

While she works over the next few months, he asks even more questions. She's happy to tell him everything. She also talks at length about a certain art style that she's trying to perfect.

One of their superiors sees their newly decorated room and shakes his head.

"Looks like a mess," he says.

"Looks like art," 57 objects.

He gets a note in his file for insubordination but he isn't exactly worried.

Sometimes when he can't sleep, but doesn't want to wake up Rence, he runs his fingers over the murals that he can reach from the inside of his bunk. The dashing raptors. The blazing sun. The warmth of Guard-red armour. So many things they've never been allowed to see but still daydream about.

Sometimes his fingers stop on the words he can't see, but knows the location of by heart. The letters both angular and rounded, neon-bright in the light, and comforting in the dark. It began as a joke, but now when he's nervous, he repeats the words in his mind and listens to Rence's breathing, and it helps.

When you're with a Corrie, you don't have to worry!

No matter where he goes, no matter how many of them are lost along the way, he will never be truly alone. That comforts him. He's never been good at being alone, it makes his shoulders tense and his fingers shake. He much prefers to be with his fellow clones. With his friends. His brothers. His everything.

He decides to carry them with him. Not just the other Guardsmen, but the peace of a midnight mural, and the joy of an afternoon adventure. He decides to be called Graffiti.

[guard-crane]

Well hiya!! I’m CT-8256 but I like to be called Crane!!

I’m a coruscant guard! My patrols can get a bit boring so I thought why not and made this page (don’t tell commander fox)

I haven’t been a Corrie guard for that long yet, I transferred with my former commander. So not many of the Corrie’s trust us yet. But it’s fine, me and Forge got each other

<ooc stuff under cut>

Forge and Crane’s ref sheet + a little info on them

I’ve never done a rp blog before so bear with me for this adventure :D

What if what if what IF

Dhole & Fives met and became besties.

What kind of stuff would these guys get up to 🤭

dhole and fives

A/N: Hello! Sorry this is short, hope you enjoy! Send requests please!!!

Dhole and Fives get along super well.

Ahsoka introduced them to each other. After Dhole almost killed Tarkin for her, she brought him to the 501st barracks where he got to meet everyone. 

Both Dhole and Fives have this sort of crazy sunshine energy, and its hilarious to see them interacting.

Whilst Dhole isn’t much of a prankster (unlike Menace, who is even worse with Fives around), he is a funny lil guy. Him and Fives are so chaotic.

Both Fives and Dhole’s love languages are touch and physical affection, meaning after a long day, it’s very normal to find the two sleeping against each other in a gunship, the landing bay, or anywhere.

“Bloodshot! Have you seen Fives anywhere?” “Sorry, Captain, no.” “I have!” “Where?” “They fell asleep on the fly back, in the gunship. I don’t think anyone woke them up.” *sigh* “Of course.”

When Dhole smuggled Ashling back to Coruscant, he of course had some help. Notably, from Anakin and Fives. Fives 100% distracted Rex to get Ashling on board. Horribly. He was so bad at distracting. But, apparently it worked.

“Hey, Cap!” *sigh* “What is it, Fives?” “Uhm, have you seen my fish, he wandered off?” “You have a fish? Wait, hold up, what do you mean it ‘wandered off’?” “I mean, y’know, it… wandered off?” “Fives, fish can’t walk.” “Uh, this one can! He’s, uhm, a Scarifian walking fish! Yeah!” “I don’t think those are real….” “Oh! Bye, I just saw him walk into that room!” “..... What the kriff?”

Fives loves hearing stories about Dhole’s adventures as a Corrie, and is absolutely obsessed with trying to guess the outcomes to his cases. 

Dhole also loves hearing about Fives’ missions in turn. 

Once, Dhole, Fives, Vector, Xi and Mit all had to do a mission together, as the mission was originally for the 501st, but they also required members of the Guard, and the mission was turned into a small stealth mission. 

It was a very interesting mission, but they did what they were supposed to do in the end, which was rescue a Senator - as usual - but a Separatist Senator who promised to join the G.A.R with supplies in return for safe travel.

“Hey, Fives?” “Yeah?” “The button’s blinking.” “What button, what do you mean?” “The button that means impending doom.” “What do you mea- AHH HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT!?!?!”

Interesting times really. I might write that (if someone requests it).

Oh and of course, they had to bring Ashling along, because Fives misses him so much and takes up every opportunity he can to get cuddles with the puppy. 

“Look who I brought!” “ASHLING!!!”

Dhole and Fives are such golden retrievers, I can’t.

But also, throughout the war, they gain trauma and it affects the in a similar way, kind of. They’re both less bubbly and happy. Dhole becomes almost emotionless and stoic, whereas Fives is just sort of… lost.

In the Nay Mets au (I don’t want to make myself any sadder), they both help each other. Sometimes, you need someone just as badly mentally ill as you instead of someone unaffected. So they help each other through everything.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed!!! Send requests please!!!

(re: hiatus - as I said when I first went on hiatus, I'm coming back when I hit a total of 50k on the consecutive manuscript of vaniah's story. I've barely been writing. I've written like 2k of it, and a bunch of other excerpts. I don't expect to work much more on it for the rest of this month while I'm busy with the adventures in Narnia - which, by the way, I'm posting to both my AO3 and my FFNET, and would love feedback. find it on ffnet by simply finding the adventures in Narnia collection and the one that's named after a lyric in a carpenters song. but once this is over or I give up with the adventures in Narnia like I do every year, I hope to get back to writing about vaniah and anneka and corrie rose, and then I shall return to tumblr. hopefully before I hit placement in a month and a bit, because that might be emotionally taxing and I might need my emotional support tumblr /j)

Clone OCs pt 2

From a post by ADHD_Coyote.

What's their favorite planet that they've visited so far? Why? For most of my stories, they've both only been to Coruscant and Kamino. They don't like either. In others, they've also been to Mandalore, which wins hands down. They're free, can eat whatever they want, have actual modern medical supplies and equipment and get to shoot anyone who's rude to them. What's not to love?

How do they handle a mission going wrong? Or complete failure? It's Coruscant. That's life. Although Deece bounces less.

Are they a good storyteller? What kinds of stories do they have to tell? Neither are. Deece can't focus and Triage's 'stories' scare even Corries.

Favorite color? Deece likes all of them, but would pick red out of loyalty. Triage likes the green of living things.

If they ever got to wear natborn clothing, what would their style be like? Do they have a good sense of fashion? Deece: jock Ken. No sense of fashion whatsoever. Triage: suit. Stylish and professional. While Triage has a sense of fashion, he doesn't see any use in it.

How heavy do they sleep? What position? Do they snore or talk in their sleep? Lightly and on their backs when alone. Deeply and curled up around their vod'e when in a vodpile. Neither snore.

When playing truth or dare, which option are they more likely to choose? For both, it varies depending on who's playing and how much alcohol they've consumed. Deece loves dares, but only with fellow shinies unless he's tipsy enough to get over his shyness, so he'll choose truth when he's with anyone else. Triage will choose truth because it's faster, takes less effort and he's not embarrassed by anything, unless he's very drunk or especially put out by everything, in which case he'll do the wildest dares possible and then ask deadpan if they have a *real* challenge for him.

Do they have a favorite animal? What is it, and why? Both favor tookas because of the ones bestowing their presence upon the guard.

Do they like to read or watch movies? What's their favorite genre, and why? Deece will watch any kind of holos as long as it's with his vod'e, but prefers young adult adventure because they're fun, there's usually a happy ending and the romance never goes over the top. Triage reads medical journals and hates every minute of it.

What kind of music do they like? Are they a good singer? Deece doesn't have a favorite genre. As long as his vod'e like it, he likes it. He's a terrible singer. Can't carry a tune. Triage has a deep voice that you can't help listening to, but absolutely zero free time or brain space for singing.

How often do they swear? Deece sometimes swears accidentally but is always embarrassed by having done so. Triage prefers not to in favor of expressing himself in a more eloquent fashion, right up until he loses it, in which case it's all swear words in a solid stream that makes absolutely no sense but conveys his meaning perfectly.

Are they good with kids? Deece is good with kids, up until their mothers spot his nose ring. Fox keeps trying to impress upon him the need to wear his helmet at all times. It's not working. Triage treats children exactly the way he treats adults and they get along with him just fine, much to the mystification of everyone else.

Do they have any superstitions? Deece used to, with his batch. Those seem silly and far away now that the people involved don't want him anymore and the dangers so much larger. Triage never mentions the past. If you don't bring it up, it doesn't exist and it can't affect you.
