#ahhh i love mara

[secretagentsloveblogs]

all i do is think about my honey oc 25/8 so have some aimless rambling about my favorite OC listener: Mara, aka Honey!

IMPORTANT: I will not apologize for having flawed characters. Mara is a purposefully flawed character who has made mistakes and will continue to do so. Firstly, for the purposes of the disclaimer: just because I write my character this way doesn't mean I condone or support their behavior. Secondly, it's a fictional setting, with fictional people. None of the events actually happened, it's just supposed to make you go "oooo. hmm. 🤔" and "ahhh. i see. 😲"

cw: [mentions of transphobia][cheating][cancer mention][chronic illness]

Mara is a 28 year old trans woman from Missouri. Her familial relationships are strained since coming out, but she keeps up with her mom, Heather, and brother, Zachary. She's still waiting to hear back from Richard, her father.

She's an astronomer, and she met Guy during a group project meetup when they ordered Max's Rustic Pizza delivery. She paid for the pizza and tipped the Pizza GuyTM $9.03, because this nerd wanted to remember the day she met her future lover. (They met 9/03/20 - #fanon) Oh, she also wrote her number on the back of the receipt, with her name signed with two stars for A's).

Speaking of stars, she has covered every room and place she's ever lived in with glow in the dark stars. It doesn't matter that she's an adult now, she will forever be the little astronaut with her head in the clouds.

Though her love of stars may be extraordinary, she also loves to collect animal bones. If Mara wasn't an astronomer, she would probably be a taxidermist.

In 2018, Mara was diagnosed with HIV. *this is crucial to her backstory and requires a deep dive*

One of her coworkers, Pamela, gifted her a 14 year old plant, a monstera albo, who's been named Big Boss. She 'inherited' the plant when Pamela was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.

If Mara hadn't transitioned, she is convinced she would have been recruited into the US military. (smth internalized transphobia and being recruited to feel needed in an unwelcoming society)

Tucked deep in the back of Mara's closet exists a closed storage bin, and inside it are the barbies, bratz dolls, littlest pet shops, and all the other small girls' toys she had stolen as a child. She wants to donate them to another little girl like her one day, but is still trying to process the love and guilt she has for the toys she had to take in order to experience 'girlhood.'

Based on Guy's first audio on the channel, Mara calls Guy 'stupid boy', but it's in a lighthearted, affectionate way. (it's fine because he's HER stupidest boy<3)

She created an art piece that reads "dream big, eat well, & fuck loud" and its one of her favorite pieces ever.

Mara doesn't let anyone but herself or Guy cut her hair. this is an autism related thing AND a trans related thing. don't look at me like that, go ask her about it.

Her and Guy get stoned on the weekends and play dress to impress. i will not elaborate how that goes. (jk i will, one day)

Mara is close friends with Geordi, and they helped each other both at the height of their relationship issues. She listened to Geordi talk extensively about his privacy issues (which is ironic all things considered but anyways) with Cutie, and he served as a listener/yapper when she opened up to him about-

Oops! This level of knowledge is locked. The information behind this door requires The Key of Interest to enter. [translation: i need to finish writing the extensive lore for these characters but i also need people to understand nuance and flawed characters before i share the backstory].

[geaesaekki]

Mara's attempt in lighting the mood up isn't working... at all. It is obvious Mara wasn't expecting that reaction when she decided to come over, thinking things would be the same way they were left it at on Valentines. Remy's words are filled with sarcasm and resentment which causes a little bit if surprise on Mara's features. "Hey what are you saying not important anymore? I never said you were not important to me-" Mara shakes her head a little but Remy has already pushed her hand away and left the room. Fuck. Is this... their first fight? Ever? Mara and Remy never fought before when they were just friends, what are they now? Friends or .. more? Mara follows Remy quite immediatly, noticing the girl isn't just grumpy but sad as well. Mara has never been so good with this kind of conversations, especially with guilt now overwhelming her. "I stopped by because I want to see you. I want to spend time with you, you know that right?" Does Remy know that? It's true Mara isn't so good at texting, calling and all that stuff a lover would do - are they... Lovers? Although she did not lie, her work is dangerous, her life is getting messy, last thing she wants is Remy getting involved in all of it. Mara sits down next to Remy even though the other is trying to ignore her. "Listen... I'm sorry?" Mara's hands join Remy's hands to take them off whatever she's flipping through, in a gentle way, just to make her stop, to make her listen. "I know I'm not good with .. texts and everything- I wasn't too busy to Care, I always Care about you and I always want to see you. I don't want you to think you're not important to me." She pauses, breathing in. "We kissed again the other night and, things started to get really... heated and, I really really liked that." Her tone is sincere as truly, Remy has become everything she thinks of and about. "I don't want you to think I'm playing with you. I don't want to make you sad. I like you.... Remy."

Please make something about angst with crow, I love angst things 😭🙏

ahhh have some Crow angst :) expanding on what the Witness may have offered to Crow when they communed in the Final Shape! ! a mild warning for body horror 👀 also on ao3

Crow closes his eyes. He allows the unnatural quiet envelope him, drowning his ears in white noise. He feels the beating of his heart, hard against the ribs, pulsing through every vein in his body. He feels awfully alive and awfully aware of the second chance his expired body was given.

Where there is heartbeat, there is Light.

"Do not let it go to waste."

A voice, trembling in multitude, reaches him from every corner of the cavern. From every grotesque mouth, echoes off the walls.

"I didn't," Crow says with a shrug. His eyes are still closed, yet he can see the colour red.

"But you may, yet. Let us show you that which can become true. Your desires are within reach, your salvation can be a salvation for all."

Crow sighs, breathing sharp air through his lips.

"Show me."

...He sees Mara, her arms outstretched to him in welcome. He tells her of the most rare power, a wish that made itself true and known. She takes the Ahamkara from his arms as it coos and purrs. Mara laughs, Mara squeezes his forearm.

"Well done, Brother."

...He sees Mara holding a heap of red flowers, her fingers dripping royal blood where cord-like roots are breaking the skin with thorns. Yet, she still holds and smiles.

...He sees himself her equal. The Prince of the Awoken, not a secret hidden away from him, only from the others. His sister's trust implicit and unquestionable and well-established.

Crow's jaw sets tightly in a clench. All too familiar, all too painful. A glowing lure that led him astray, led him to his death, dressed in the puppet of his sister's image.

"Is that not what you wish for? To finally have an understanding, to finally have the sister you have always wanted by your side and in your confidence? You can rethink that."

"Why?"

"But you know better, Crow. You have always known better."

...He sees himself in royal garments, the Awoken people bowing in loyalty to their new King. He would not commit regicide, but it would not be necessary.

...He is the Disciple. His body burning with Light and Dark, together. His image shimmers, split in two, one half planted firmly in reality, the other shaping a throne world, for he may never die. One eye is burning amber, the other - vengeance and righteousness. His knife carves out the perfect reality in the Witness' name - and his own.

His Ghost on a leash, the Guardian's essence forever saved in the Pyramid tomb, the Vanguard no more. His wounds are smoking with the stench of Dark Ether.

The world is turning into a still-life of paradise.

"Salvation can come," the voices whisper. "Embrace it."

Crow opens his eyes. He sees himself, cast in statue, empty sockets of eyes staring from beneath the hood. A promise so close. Everything could be as he wants it to be. Any dream - a reality.

His lips curl into a dry smile, his hand reaching out towards the statue.

He lets it go.

"No."

[ashe-withane]

Alright!! Time for my 911 7x05 reactions!

Alright the hand guy

I knew about Buck getting choked but EDDIE owwww. He’s so dramatic though lmao.

Did he just. Call himself. An ally

BUCK

He puts a rainbow on his Instagram.

“I guess it’s just me that makes you nervous” shit Tommy that was good

Awww Buck’s smile

I know we’ve been talking about Buck’s face when Eddie shows up BUT Tommy’s eyes go so wide omggggg

“And then we’re gonna go find some hot chicks.” BUCK.

Tommy’s face aaaah

:( Tommy

Hold on Eddie what do you mean Marisol agreed to move in with you??? We have seen literally nothing of this relationship and you’re already moving in together??

“I guess you can never have enough closet space.” HELP

“Right, Evan?” Oh Jesus

“You too bro” Buck…

This is so awkward. I know Buck is figuring himself out still but I feel bad for Tommy :(

“I think you’re adorable, but I don’t think you’re ready” is actually I really nice way of letting him down.

Denny giving Mara a teddy!! That’s so sweet.

Ohhh Buck’s talking to Maddie…

“Are you dating a married woman?”

“Could be very much the point” I love Maddie.

HE CALLED HIMSELF AN ALLY AGAIN. Maddie’s face as well oh my god

Oh my god they actually went with a “yeah I check out guys but that’s normal” situation

“It’s the same Tommy??” Ahahaha

At least Marisol is keeping her place so we don’t have another Taylor situation on our hands

Hmmm what is he gonna find in the boxes?

She was almost a nun? Interesting? I guess. Is that what’s gonna make them break up?? What??

The teddy bear!

I really hope Mara is okay :(

“To avoid not having sex.” Help.

Eddie has “a reservoir of Catholic guilt lying dormant.” Listen, is this about Marisol right now? Yes, as far as Eddie is aware. Could this also be. Hinting at something……

“Like sea monkeys”???? Lmao

Eddie is. Pent up. Jesus Christ

“You think I should go to confession?” “No I think you should go to Cap.” these two dumbasses. Sound advice though, he should talk to Bobby.

Oh no! Denny!

Loving this conversation with Eddie and Bobby so far

Bobby pointing out the main thing Eddie has a problem committing to is women…

We’re talking about Shannon!!

The church is a lot of the reason they got married! They both felt pressured!! “Loved being married to her”

Lmao Bobby calling God ‘Marisol’s ex’

Ahhh fuck. Mara’s 911 call is devastating.

Eddie is hiding from Marisol at Buck’s place lol.

“We were on a date” “wait, Tommy’s gay?” Eddie what about Buck, who was. Also on that date.

“This doesn’t change a thing between us” aaah this is so sweet!!!

Awww Buck can’t stop thinking about him. (Listen I will always ship Buddie but I’m also loving BuckxTommy right now!!! I can like both!!)

“He doesn’t know you’re an idiot. Once he gets to know you, and know that you’re an idiot, he’ll love you!! Like we all do!!” Ahahahaha

Hug!

So. Eddie and Marisol aren’t breaking up. (Yet?)

TOMMY! “I didn’t cut things short because you behaved badly, I did it because I didn’t want to pressure you.” YES. Love love love this.

Lmao Tommy’s reaction to Buck asking him to Maddie’s wedding. Just “ahahaha. What??”

Buck and Eddie are a MESS

[galaxycunt]

What character do you identify with most? Is there a certain fic of yours that captures these qualities particularly well?

I identify with Felix a lot. He’s young and idealistic and unsure of himself. And I think my little ocs Mara and Elena. But that’s because I like making OCs that are just some guy and I think well would an average person react this way or that way to this?

I’m not sure of what fic captures it well lol

Ahhh thank you! The Nuva already being kind of feral makes it a lot of fun to explore, as does having the Matoran there to complicate things.

[luckyshotwrites]

fav character anon back with ANOTHER question

if you were to be trapped in a room with someone, which character of WIDFALI would you want to be trapped with the least and which character would you want to be trapped with the most?

i might send this one to a few other ppl to but you were #1 i swear

Homie, I don't care if I'm first or last, asks in general make me so happy. So thank you for brightening up my day. ❤

Which character from Widfali would I want to be trapped in a room with the least... (there is a person THAT WOULD BE WITHOUT A DOUBT #1, but I cannot use them for spoiler reasons. I also would not use Mara, as she wouldn't be like that with every prey as she was with Lynette). So second worst, Lev. I wanted to say Alexander at first, but at least he'd be quick. LEV WOULD TAKE HIS SWEET A$$ TIME. I don't think I could go through what Lynette does with him. I'd perish because I'm too easily spooked. Nor do I think I could make him lose interest by acting willing/unphased by what he'd say. Even knowing I'd probably be fine. Plus, HE'S 20 FEET TALL in his half form, don't get me started in dragon form. I could be crushed, or ahhh- xD I'm sorry I'm a scaredy cat.

Which character from Widfali would I want to be trapped in a room with the most...

Honestly, this is a tie breaker...as I like both. June or Lynette. Comfort and fun reasons.

June's really goofy and caring when it comes to how others feel, so he'd be someone nice to vent too. Or pass the time by doing nonsensical games with.

While Lynette would have my back in more ways than one. If i was sad, she'd want to help me through what was going on, lift me up and make me smile. Or she'd just be fun to talk to reagrding videogames, anime, the likes. (I actually was thinking to myself the other day how cool it'd be to be friends with Lynette, I love writing her, she's probably my big fav). XD

STAY FROSTY OUT THERE COOL BEAN ANON! ~~~

[ram-de]

june vibes

damn i abandoned this monthly top 10 music of mine tracker thingy since last march. oh well!!! let's do this again. as always the song is rapidly changed one by one... i'm a seasonal listener...

Let's start out with 夏霞 / Natsu-kasumi (Summer Haze) by Atarayo. The first time I listened to this duet of a song? Damn... It's ethereal. I like how both of the guy and girl vocalist blend and complements one another. Guess, it's about love in the summer. Purely from sound, it's somber and regretful. I'm reading the lyrics right now. And yes, it does reflect regret. The singer(s) reminiscent about the precious memories they shared one another in the summer, the fireworks, the festival, the confession. Not wanting to be hurt by those feelings, wanting to be wrapped in the haze of the summer. Aww... :-(

Second is なかよしステップ / Nakayoshi Step (BFF STEP) by kinoshita. I'm surprised this song got in, turned out I liked it that much! Kinoshita is a Vocaloid producer that's easily known for his high-paced, energetic and cheerful songs. This one is one of them. The video is also as cute, featuring Una and Rin doing this simple dance steps. Please. Purely from soung, it's about the joy of having a BFF (which I lack) so sing out the joy for my stead!!! The lyrics, is well. It's indeed about having a friend so close and having fun. AHHH the lyrics is so cute. "I know, I know It'll get through you. It's not just words! I'm putting this music together for you, tu-turu-tuu, a BFF melody." It must've been a precious thing to have, a friend... :-(

Flash Forward by Le Sserafim... I swear I've found this song just yesterday. How come it's sitting pretty at third, I don't know. I like this song mainly because it's something I'd listen rather than their more fierce and stronger song. Sakura also got a lot of lines, so it's a plus! The vibe is breezy and chill, and it seems about just, I don't know. Keeping some feelings to a crush kind of song...

Next is また夏を追う / Mata Natsu wo Ou (To Chase the Summer Again) by Atarayo. What's up with this group and song about Summer?! It may or may not be the sequel to Natsugasumi. It's also got similiar vibe, regretful and holding onto something. I think it's about, moving on after a breakup in Summer. The singer is the one who walked away, but they felt it need to be done. Though regretful, they still want to chase another Summer.

Tentang Rumahku by Dialog Dini Hari is one of the song I found on these Spotify spotlight someone made based on a book. This one, I found for Laut Bercerita's playlist. Before this, I was so shallow because I dismissed the song in my native language since they're usually sappy love song which I detest for no particular reason. But I figured I'd be open. And I'm sure there's always some song for each person. At first it reminds me of Mara's character. Her home which lacks an important someone. It also reminds me of Laut himself, perhaps a song fitting when he's deep down in the sea, reminiscing the dear family and home he grew up. Ahh... I need to read that book again. The lyrics are relatively simple to understand, and at the core of it, I think it's about home and how it's truly an important place where one grew and become theirself. A keeper of memories and all the important thing in the world. One can be happy at their home.

まるつけ / Marutsuke performed by Yano Shougo. It's the ending theme for the anime Given. I watched it few months back then, and contrary to popular's opinion I think it's hands down the best song out of the series. (I don't plan to watch the movie so, yeah.) The song is so powerful, and carrying the weight of sorrow in the same place. Reading the lyrics, I felt like it kind of tells a story of the singer with a big amount of doubt about, well, his feeling. Love, I assume. Love, unsure of how it can stay and how it can perservere. Knowing the context with the anime, it seems so depressing. Talk about the anime, I saw some manga spoilers and noped out. The anime itself is so angst-heavy and there's a lot of drama. I don't need more... (Also love triangle trope sucks...) but the song itself is so good. Mafuyu's VA is perfect fit for his hoarse and yet soft-ish kind of voice. Conveying the feeling of desperation and cries of help.

The way I stayed like 40 minutes writing all of this but I can't stay still for mere 10 minutes writing my thesis I'm💀 Okay, I'm going to make the rest quick.

Maigo Hanyuu is another Vocaloid producer with their characteristics of traditional Japanese sounds incorporated for their songs. 鬼の居ぬ間に / Oni no Inumani (While the Demon is Away) seems like it's telling a story about someone staying by another one's side... Wait... It's just a quick interpretation. It could be also about a story when someone is left behind by a passed away person, still, they lived for both of them. Though perhaps they griefed, unable to accept that the other isn't there anymore, hence, preparing meals for two, lamenting the time they spent in the world, can't help until the demon or death itself took them. Wow. Huh??!!?

Next is 阿吽のビーツ / Aun no Beats (Aun Beats), also a classic by Maigo Hanyuu. Angsty tragic pair of love, I assume... From the sounds alone, there's regret, longing, and desperation. "I held up my heart to you. Give it back someday, be gentle, okay? I really wanted to go back. Going back after this is fine too." What I loved about Hanyuu's work for this one, is the usage of English loanswords paired with the traditional Japanese sounds. It's!!!! It's so cool. I think this post described and analyzed the song well...

Next is 死んではいけない / Shinde wa Ikenai (You Musn't Die, stylised Don't Go) by Shimizu Kou. I spent like 10 minutes looking for lyrics for this song and I couldn't find it. Turned out it's because the song isn't simply Ikanaide in the original title... Oh well... The song is a vibe. Len, the vocal, is tuned well. It seems like it's a thematical song, so it tells a story. But I'm running out of time...

I really need to stop here. But Sparkling Daydream by ZAQ is the opening theme for the anime Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! I haven't watched it in forever. But it popper in my mind and it's still a banger. That's it!

That's for June. Wow! I typed a lot. WOW...

[tomicaleto]

When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers, if you can. Let’s spread the self-love. ♥️

Ahhh Mara!! I'm so so sorry I missed this one for so long!

I'm gonna try putting some of my newer fics xD

Okay, in no particular order, five fics that were so much fun to write

Windows of the soul, you should have knocked the door Summary:

Obi-Wan and Anakin met at the office Halloween party, they flirted, they danced and they had fun. Only problem? They were wearing disguises and now Obi-Wan is on a self-imposed quest to find his mystery man. His only clue? A pair of golden eyes.

Viridian afternoon Summary:

Every ten years, the planet Achicor celebrates their main god Obi-Wan, who blesses them with bountiful crops and good weather. The Jedi order has been participating in these rituals for decades, their role in the ritual small but necessary to keep good relations with the Ricochets, Achicor's main population. While they are not expected to participate the whole week of celebration, they need to spend a whole afternoon at the main temple as part of the gifts for the god. This year, Anakin is sent as part of the Jedi order. While he's not completely convinced in taking part of the ritual, he's plenty reassured he's not expected to do too much during the celebration. Expectations are subverted as he's visited during his stay at the temple.

More than one lifetime Summary:

To mend their shaken bond, Anakin takes Ahsoka to Lothal's Temple. Obi-Wan goes with them, to offer support and guidance to Anakin. Of course, Anakin was always loose while following traditions.

But goddamn, you got me in love again (WIP) Summary:

Anakin would have liked to deal with his recent break-up in a different way other than going to a bar and mingle with strangers. But Padmé had insisted and now here he was, with a wet and ruined shirt and a snarky stranger to deal with. It's okay, he'll deal with the man and never see him again. It's the perfect plan. Only problem? He can't stop meeting the guy everywhere he goes.

The right path is not often the clearest one (WIP) Summary:

"The night Rin’s ghost appeared in his dreams, whatever plan Zetsu and Madara wanted Obito to follow became useless." Broken and barely put together again when he first receives a visit from the ghost of his dead friend, Obito manages to break free from Madara and Zetsu's manipulations and escape. His faith on the shinobi system shaken, he refuses to go back to Konoha and ends up in Kiri instead. But things are not better there than in Konoha, and Obito will soon find himself lost in the road of life. With any luck, he'll be able to find the way home.

I hope you enjoy reading these!

[vulpine-spectacle]

Your potential future fic list is making me kick me feet and squeal in excitement, especially the star wars one! While Im a clone wars girlie through and through, legends has a special place in my heart as well and I cant wait to see what your magic brain has in store there! Honestly, whatever fandom you tread into, Im gonna follow along. Fandom hopping is something I enjoy doing with my fave authors, and youre definitely one of them now :)

But while Im here, lemme participate in the ask game! :D

Do you have any tags/themes you like to write about?

Legends is absolutely the BOMB!! I will always love Legends till the day I die. :') I actually got to meet Timothy Zahn a few years ago and he was so ridiculously kind and he got a picture of me in my Mara Jade costume and ahhh! I was dying! I cried and it was amazing. :') My SW fic is going to have so much Legends material in it, and Mara Jade will definitely be included...along with Talon, Thrawn, the works! :3 I will say, it's going to be a super cute fic I'm hyped about, with a whole lot of angst, revolving around a mechanic with a bounty on her head who links up with Mando. ;) The helmet stays on.

You are literally so ridiculously kind!! I know that every time I see you in my notifications, I get the biggest smile on my face and I start to prance around, crying excitedly, and all of the things!!! <3 I hope my Legends fic is able to serve your Legends loving self!! And all of my other future fics. ;))

I honestly really love writing about families - the more broken the better. Family dynamics and themes of broken homes or families, and how they repair themselves or finding a new chosen family, are things that I just really enjoy writing. I also really enjoy childhood friends to lovers. It's just so adorable and cute and I love it. I also love it because it can also apply to enemies, because let's be real, kids are terrors and they can absolutely be enemies too. Double whammy. I also really like friendship?? Like, I love shipping as much as the next person, but friendships of all types are just so good. I've got a list. :')

[howdywrites]

Tell me a little bit about one of the tropes in your wip that you’re having a lot of fun writing!

Ahhh thank you for this!! I apologize for how late I am in replying.

For my apocalypse wip ITWS, I'm really looking forward to delving into the human psyche when it comes to grief and loss. It fascinates me how everyone reacts in dire situations differently. For example, one of my mains, Jackie, tends to freeze and internalize her inner turmoil until it bubbles over. Her love interest, and my other main, Mara is the exact opposite. Mara reacts, jumping straight into the action and often letting her emotions dictate said actions.

I love my two apocalypse darlings

[nostalgiabones]

Dad Calum and Marama is acting unusually bratty, being a terrible two-year-old and is throwing a full blown tantrum, and Calum has to lay down the law. But really makes her cry. I love your writing.

“Mara? It’s nap time!”

In her two years of life so far, Mara had become the most well behaved toddler that you or Calum could’ve asked for. Apart from the occasional little tantrum, she was always kind to others and listened to everything you and Calum asked her to do.

Until this particular day.

“No!” Calum heard her voice moving further away, where she was heading towards the back doors to try and go in the garden, to hide from Calum. He could move quicker than her little legs; he soon found her, mischief in her eyes and no intention of taking a nap.

“Yes.” He replied, shaking the warm bottle of milk in his hand, that he had prepared for nap time. It was part of their usual routine; he would sit in the rocking chair with her settled in her arms, giving her a bottle whilst reading a book to her. “Come on, my little moon. You know it’s nap time, we can play later.”

“No dada.” She refused again, wriggling in his arms as he expertly scooped her up in one swoop, to hold her to his chest. “Down! No!”

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as she hit her little hands against his chest, which was so out of character for her. It didn’t hurt, of course, but he knew he had to tell her it was wrong.

“Mara! We don’t hit people. Stop hitting dada.” He said firmly, which started a round of tears as she tried to get out of his grasp again. She was never usually like this; it was so unusual for her, and he didn’t know what had gotten into her. “You know that’s not nice. Say sorry, please.”

She looked away from him guiltily, knowing she’d done something wrong and not wanting Calum to be upset with her. But she also really, really didn’t want to nap.

“Sorry.” She mumbled against his chest, still avoiding looking at him and not settling in his arms. “Down, please.”

“Thank you. But no, it’s nap time Mara. But we’re not having cuddles or a story today, okay? Just sleep.” Calum told her, entering her nursery and closing the pastel yellow curtains, to block the light a little so she could sleep. Mara cried harder at his words, suddenly clinging to him and not wanting to be put down in the crib.

“Cuddles, please? Please cuddles, dada.” She sobbed incoherently, reaching out to him as he stood at the edge of her crib. His heart was aching seeing her so upset and wanting him, but he knew she needed to learn not to misbehave. All he wanted to do was scoop her up and rock her to sleep like usual, but he needed to teach her a lesson.

“Not today, Mara. You know we don’t hit people. Dada will come back after your nap, okay?” He spoke to her in a calm voice, not being able to resist wiping the tears from her soft cheeks in an attempt to soothe her a little. He hated seeing her this upset, and hoped she’d feel better after she slept. 

He set her down in the crib, gently draping her blanket over her as she kept crying and trying to reach up to him. He tried to ignore her cries as much as he could, as much as it was hurting his heart. But he knew it needed to be done, so she would learn.

“Go to sleep, Mara. I’ll come back after your nap, okay?” He cooed to her, continuing to stroke her cheek in an attempt to calm her down without giving into her too much. “Love you, baby girl.”

It was so hard for him to walk away from her crib and leave her crying, but he felt proud of his abilities to be strong. Her nap time felt like the longest two hours of his life; he knew she’d eventually cried herself out because he checked on her half an hour in, and she was fast asleep.

He managed to last for the two hours she’d usually nap for, before he made his way back to her room. He found her slowly waking up, rubbing her eyes and finding her lost pacifier, placing it back in her mouth.

“Hi, sleepy girl.” Calum melted at her sleepy eyes and soft demeanour, all the annoyance he had felt melting away as she reached up to him. “Did you have a good sleep? Are you in a better mood now?”

“Sorry, dada.” She cuddled into him as he picked her up, settling her head on his shoulder as he rubbed her back. “Love you.”

Calum wanted to cry as he held her close, his heart melting at her words. “I love you too, my little moon. Thank you for the sorry.”

“Duke?” She called out, wondering where her little best friend was.

“Yeah, shall we go find him?” Calum replied, kissing her forehead as she woke up a little more, heading downstairs to locate Duke. As he held her in his arms, he was glad that she’d woken up in a much better mood, and that his telling off had been effective. As much as he hated doing it, he knew he’d always get his sweet baby girl back.

Friday finally came around and it seemed as if you had been holding your breath all day. You hadn’t heard from Richard at all and you were starting to worry about what was going to happen with test today. You spent the day checking your phone, seeing if he would send a text or even post something on his social medias. Nothing came up and you started to think that maybe he didn’t pass. Putting your feelings about him to the side, you always wanted the people you tutor to pass because it simply made you proud to be helping them. 

Letting out a sigh you closed out of you messaging app for what seemed like the millionth time today. You grabbed you bag, dragging in off the library table and decided to leave for today, you had come to the conclusion that he wasn’t going to be texting you anytime soon. Saying a quick goodbye to the librarian as you pushed the door open to lead your way out to the hallway. You pulled out the earbuds that resided in your front pocket. “Ay, Mami!”

You quickly turned, a little to quick at the familiar voice. There was a smiling buzzed cut, tanned boy running down the hallway. You found yourself mirroring his smile. You didn’t have to wait for that long because he quickly reached you. You raised an eyebrow at his enthusiasm which made you chuckle when he slung his backpack around to the front of his body. He pulled out the paper from the inside of his bag and wiggled it in your face. “Okay you toddler, I can’t see it if you do that.”

“Fine, here.” He placed the paper in you hand and waited for you to read the contents. You quickly did. There it read in bright red lettering, 89. Your smile grew as you took your eyes off the paper and then to Rich whole had wide eyes. He didn’t hesitate to wrap his arms around you and encase you in a tight hug. Your chest was pressed against his book bag and your face against his shoulder. He let go after a minute or so. “We did it.”

“Yes, all thanks to your hard work.” You commented as you peered back to the paper. You could see how much work he had put into the questions, he worked each one out and you could even see proof of him going back and double checking. 

“No, its thanks to you being the best tutor out there.” Richard told you with a little elbow nudge. You shook your head with a small smile and passed the paper back into his hands. “No, honestly. I don’t I have ever had a grade this high in math.”

You chuckled at the comment, feeling really flattered. You remembered the fact that this was going to be your last day with Richard so you took another glance at his unfaltering smile. He had his eyes on the paper scanning the grade over and over, which made you over the moon ecstatic. He then took you by surprise as you he looked up quickly. “The party!”

“The party?... Oh you can’t be serious…” You sighed as you remembered the promise you made to him yesterday. You weren’t meant for parties, you liked to be by yourself and enjoy the music that you actually like not the overplayed songs on the radio. Also, you weren’t close to many people, especially not the people that go to and/or throw parties at this school. You could only see a cute nod from the Dominican boy in front you which you already knew that you weren’t going to be able to say no to it. You rolled your eyes and broke into another smile, which wasn’t rare when you were with Richard. 

“Very.” Richard said as he started to walk you outside. You again shook your head at the idea of going to the party but you weren’t going to miss the chance to spend some more time with Rich. So you did the only thing you could really think of, started questioning about where the party was. He let out a chuckle as a way to dodge the questions. “Mami, don’t worry about it. Chris’ house, at nine. That’s all you need to know.”

You let out an airy breath as you tried to wrap around the idea of not worrying about the party which was simply impossible. You turned your eyes away from the floor that you didn’t know you were focusing on, to find the dark eyes of Richard’s. “Okay. Where is Chris’ house? We’re talking about Christopher Velez, right? Do I bring something? Am I supposed to-”

“Y/n.” Richard cut you off with a loud laugh keeping him from talking for a few seconds. “Yes, its Chris Velez’s house and all you need to bring is your cute self, okay?”

You were shocked at Richard’s last statement. He had never called you cute or anything like that but it was a shock for you to hear it from a guy. Even though you knew it wasn’t something abnormal for Rich to say to a girl, you still had a blush appearing your face. You looked at Richard’s face closely to see that his cheeks were even showing a light pink color but you just assumed that was because of his laughing, not wanting to get your hopes up. “I can text you the address.”

“Thank you, that would help me worry less.” You smiled to him which made him break into a childish grin. 

“You’re not going to regret it, Mami.” Richard told you as he opened the door of your car. He looked to you with sweet eyes as you climbed into the driver’s seat. You had a soft smile as you looked up to him, not thinking of anything to say to him. You enjoyed the mini conversations that you had with him, so of course you never wanted to be the one to say goodbye. You both seemed to look at each other for what seemed like an eternity before Richard cleared his throat and leaned down so you could hear his voice more clearly. “I promise.”

He closed the door with a light force and tapped on the roof of the car as he walked away. You couldn’t contain the smile that was on your face. You took one last glance through the rearview mirror as Richard crossed the road in a quick little jog. You proceeded to let a laugh loose as you switched your sight to yourself. You couldn’t believe how smitten you were over this boy, finding every little thing cute. Placing your hands over your eyes and took a deep breath, trying to get Richard out of your mind. 

--

As the night finally approached, your efforts to get Richard off your mind were deemed useless as you spent the whole time waiting for the clock to hurry up and hit nine so you could see him again. Actually, you spent the last hour trying to find out what to wear to a party. You settled for a nice pair of jeans and one of your favorite shirts. 

You glanced at the clock for what seemed like for the millionth time since you got home. You smiled as you saw the red numbers read, 8:54. You grabbed your jacket and the mini bag that you packed with the essentials that you thought you would need. You didn’t have to warn your parents about where you were going because they were at a party of their own tonight. You didn’t take long to find your way outside and into your car. The address had already been put into your gps almost the second that Richard had sent it to you. The party turned out to be on the other side of town which made it okay for you to leave a little early. You didn’t want to be the person that shows up on time because in all the teen drama shows you have watched, the first to arrive is usually deemed a loser. So, even though it was hard, you laid off on being punctual just this once.

As you drove, the music in the car seemed to be drained out by the thoughts of how to approach the party or how you were going to find Richard. Your mind stopped the ideas when you pulled up to the crowded driveway. You laughed at your worry that you wouldn’t find Richard when he was right in the front yard doing front flips while a group of the most popular boys cheered him on. You exited your car after a minute of watching him have his fun. You took a step onto the lawn where Richard was playing around and you were shocked when you heard his voice call out to you. “Y/n!”

You watched as he told the boys to excuse him as he jogged back over to you. The want to not get your hopes up disappeared when you took a look at his giant smile. For tonight, you were gonna get as much out of this as you could get since this would more than likely be the last time you get to see this sight. “You made it!”

“Of course, how could I go back on a promise when you worked so hard?” You questioned. He let out a laugh that avoided your question. You couldn’t help but let your smile grow. You both stared at each other awkward;y. You decided to break the silence when you saw Richard rub the back of his neck. “So, the party is pretty packed for it just starting…”

“Actually, the party started about an hour ago.” He admitted. You were shocked at his words, you could’ve sworn that he had said nine. He let out a small laugh as he softly touched your arm to calm your worries. “Ay, Mami. I told you nine because I knew you would come on time.”

“I…” You trailed trying to think of a way to defend yourself but nothing but a laugh left your lips. Richard smiled and ruffled your hair. 

“See? I’m right.” He told you with a small smirk as his hand dropped from the top of your head to your hands. He grabbed one gently as he pulled you farther into the yard with the fellow yelling teens. “C’mon let’s go have some real fun, yeah?”

 You were giggling as Richard dragged you over to the group of friends he was previously with. Every fiber in your body was starting to tense up in the thought of what your were going to say to them but that turned out to be for nothing when they all smiled at you, welcoming you. One green eyed boy with a beer in his hand pointed to Richard with a childish grin on his face it was almost as if the others boy knew what he was going to say and broke into small fits of laughter. “Richuki, here. Talks about you all the time.”

“C’mon, papo. Why are you saying that?” Richard said in response to the younger boy’s comment. You smiled at the reaction he gave which almost wanted you to know more about it, wanting to see more of this cute reaction. 

“Aye, don’t try to act like it’s not true.” The other three boys chimed in while made Richard shake his head in embarrassment. He took your hand to drag you inside the house. You waved a small goodbye to the boys who were all still laughing at the boy in front of you. You, of course, still wanted to know what the hell they were getting at but you decided to just enjoy the blushing boy hold your hand as he took you inside of the crowded house. You found teens that were unfamiliar looking, you weren’t sure if was just the fact you didn’t really know people at your school or if Chris was popular enough to get people from other schools to come. If you were honest it was probably both of those reasons. Richard turned to you, leaning closer to your ear. Telling you on how he was going to get a drink. Before you could even nod, he was gone. You stood in the corner watching as people dance to the reggaeton that was playing through the speakers in the house. 

“Mami, I didn’t know you could dance.” Richard said as he approached you with two cups in his hands. You rolled your eyes and told him the truth, you didn’t dance. “Aye, as long as you're having fun, it doesn’t matter if you’re good or not.”

“Sorry, I don’t drink.” You said as you declined the cup Richard was holding out towards you. The look of shock on his face made you giggle for the millionth time. He then shrugged as he told you, “More for me then.”

The shocked look on your face when he chugged the two cups of alcohol in a matter of seconds, out beat his by a mile. You watched in shock as he threw the cups over his shoulder and let them fall onto the ground with a grin brewing on his lips. “C’mon mami let’s dance...oh don’t worry about that, Chris is going to make me stay behind and help him clean this place up anyways.”

You raised an eyebrow while you followed him once again. He took your hand as he grooved to the music, doing small dance moves. You chuckled as you watched him. He broke into a gentle laugh while pulling you closer to him. “C’mon, Neña don’t let me dance by myself now.”

You started to do subtle movements with a grin never leaving your face. A couple songs went by but they way you were dancing in a room and during that long yet short time you had to hold Richard back from going off on about seven different people. A nice, slower tempo song came onto the radio and Richard spun you around while you danced. You felt Richard’s hands on your hips and his mouth lingered close to your ear as he danced closely. You bit your bottom lip as you could now understand the talk all the girls had about Richard being incredibly sexy. You felt Richard lean in closer to your ear, with his chest touching your back. “Hey…”

You hummed as you turned your head slightly to see his face. He had a small smirk residing on his lips as he looked into your eyes for a long moment. You didn’t even realize that you were holding your breath until he began to whisper something a little more. “You know… I really like you.”

“Yeah, I like you too.” You said in reply, not taking his words to heart. You didn’t want to get all happy over something that he was saying as a courtesy. You wanted to enjoy this moment for as long as you could. The moment of closeness was ruined for a second when Richard spun your around by your hips. You were shocked at the action but then you saw Richard looking into your eyes with an intensity you have never seen from him before. You raised your eyebrow for a quick second and tried to suppress a nervous chuckle that was bubbling at the edge of your lips. 

“No, I really like you.” He said as he touched his forehead to yours. You took the moment in with your heartbeat sounding louder than the music playing around you.You felt as if you could throw up in the moment, luckily you didn’t. 

“A-are you serious?” You questioned.as your face started to burn with hope. He let a smile break on his sincere face. 

“Dead serious.” He answered in a heartbeat. You smiled while you bit your lip once again in excitement. 

“Lucky for you, I really like you too.” 

“Do you now?” Richard teased as he took both your hands and intertwined them with his own. He pulled closer than you thought was possible. Your eyes had met for a quick second before they closed as your lips crashed together. The hand holding ended after a tight squeeze as Richard dropped your hands then his one of his own made was to cup you face while the other snaked around one of your hips. You found your hands wrapped around his neck, indulging yourself in the kiss. Pulling away was far away from both of your thoughts. That was until you found yourselves being pushed by the crowd while made you both break into laughter, your hands finding each other once again. You opened your eyes to find Richard looking at your face with loving gaze. A small smile lingered on your face as you stared at his own miniature grin. 

“AY RICHARD!” 

A voice called out from the kitchen which caused you and Richard to turn your heads in that direction. You found a red-faced Chris who was holding up a ping pong ball which even you got the message that he was needed for a game of beer pong. Richard turned to you with a shallow frown and a small eyebrow lift. He pressed his forehead on yours once more and placed another quick kiss on your lips. You watched as he slowly took a step back from you while also dropping your hand. “Make sure to win.” 

The crowd of boys in the kitchen started to cheer loudly one the tanned boy arrived. You could only see through the little trail that Richard made. You saw the same friends he was chilling with when you first arrived. You could see his own large smile when he arrived at them which made your heart flutter with glee.

When a stranger was forcibly shoved into you and the only apology you got was a loud laugh from his friend, you knew that it was time for you to leave this dance floor. Your nervousness from earlier finally caught up to you as you felt yourself that need to use the bathroom. You muttered dozens of ‘excuse me's as you made your way to the staircase. You could see the line mini line and you already knew that it was for the bathroom. You stood in line behind a couple of girls who were giggling amongst themselves about talking to some guys from the boys from the public school. You stood awkwardly as you tried to watch the boys in the kitchen but you could only catch glimpses of Richard’s tall friend, Zabdiel. 

“Are you waiting?” A random voice asked which jumped you out of your staring. You turned to see a pale man who honestly looked a little sick. You gave him a small, ‘yes’ with worry trailing in your voice as you were scared about his well being. He nodded silently as he held his stomach carefully. The line shortened when both the girls went in together and they batted their eyes in the direction of the boy behind you as they were clearly oblivious to his sick state. 

“Here, you can cut in front of me.” You say as you took a step back against the wall to let him get in front of you. At first the boy shook his head as he said that it was good, but you could clearly tell that he needed the bathroom more than you did. “Dude, just cut in front of me. It’s okay.”

The taller male looked at you for a quick second and thought about declining your offer. Luckily, he finally to the offer from you. He gave a slow, soft grin with his white teeth showing for a fast moment before he covered it with his hand immediately afterwards. He dropped his hand when he after a couple of seconds and looked back to you. “Thank you… I really appreciat-”

Before he could finish his sentence, before you could even react, there he was puking on your shirt. You could feel the warmth of the vomit on your chest was building up the need for you to throw up yourself. Of course, this happened the second that the girls left the bathroom. You looked to the shock face of the boy in front of you. It was obvious that he wasn’t fully sure of what just happened. “Damn Nick, that’s fucking raw..!”

You closed your eyes and looked to the boy in front of you who now know was, Nick. You  pressed a smile onto your lips while trying to keep yourself from breathing in the smell. “Can I go to the bathroom first?”

“Oh my god, yes. I’m so sorry.” Nick said as he moved out of the way so you could enter the unoccupied bathroom. You sighed as you walked in and looked at the sight of your shirt. It was a gross one indeed and you didn’t have another shirt to wear either. You took a deep breath before pulling the shirt off. You immediately started to rinse off the clothing in the sink. You scrubbed trying to get the visibility of the vomit off your shirt so you could wear it for the rest of the night. As you washed the cloth, you heard a knocking at the door. You yelled that you were in there, a little aggravated that they were knocking when there was a visible line outside the door. “Hey, uh… It’s me. Could you open the door real quick?”

“Excuse me?”

“A shirt. I’m giving you a shirt. I’m not tryna take a peep at anything, I swear.” Nick told you through the door and you hesitated for a second but you decided to trust him. You unlocked the door, cracking it slightly. You could see that he had his eyes closed tightly as he held out the shirt to the opening of the door which made you chuckle to yourself, wanting to go tell Richard about this as soon as you got done. You took the shirt as you also noticed that Nick was shirtless, meaning the shirt he was giving to you was his. 

“Hey, I can’t take your shirt.” You said as you tried to hand the shirt back to him. You could see him shake his head with his eyes still closed as he declined. 

“Me going around with no shirt is better than you going around with a puke shirt.” He said which made you raise an eyebrow but you decided to take the clothing. You told him a thank you as you closed the door so you could slide the shirt on quickly. It was a big on you but he was right, it beats a vomit shirt. You balled up your own shirt and started to ring out some of the water. You smiled as you opened the door to find a worried Nick. “Thank god. You don’t mind it right? I don’t want you to be uncomfortable, like I’m so sorry. I dont know what ev-”

“It was an accident. Just try not to throw up on anyone else.” You laughed as you eased his concerns. He finally smiled as he told you how he had some bad sushi before coming here which was more than likely the reason he puked. “So you’re from the public sports school? About 45 minutes from here?”

“Haha, yeah. I play baseball. You go to the private school right? With Richard Camacho?” Nick asked as he walked with you down the hallway. You nod to his question with butterflies arriving in your stomach as he mentioned Richard. “Damn, Friday is going to be such a good game…”

“Wait, we’re playing you on Friday?” You questioned and he laughed as he responded with simple ‘yeah’. You smiled as you found a way to actually go and see a baseball game without it being obvious you want to see Richard. “Hey, I can give you the shirt back after the game.”

“Oh yeah, that would be a big help. You can give to my girl, she’s gonna wanna meet you after I tell her about this.” Nick laughed. You nodded understanding, seeing as it would be hard to actually talk to him before or after the game. You guys both bid farewell when you reached the end of the staircase as you immediately found yourself going to the dining room so you could see Richard. You turned into the crowd, slowly making your way to the front but still not creating a big commotion, leaving your presence hidden. There he was, laughing as he lifted another cup to his lips. One of the boys called out truth, which you assumed they had incorporated truth and dare with beer pong. You smiled to yourself as you watched his pink cheeks as he smiled more when he looked to the younger boy who besides him. “Okay, what’s the deal with you and that smart girl?”

“Y/n?” The boys nodded in unison while you could feel a pit of grow in your stomach. You wanted to hear what he had to say. You wanted to shut out all the people around you, cut off the music, and even tell the birds outside to stop their chirps. You anxiously looked at Richard’s giggling self as he brought a hand up to the back of his neck. You bit your lip at the sight, getting excited at what he was about to say. You wanted to see the Richard you met on the dance floor who told you wholeheartedly that he truly likes you. You looked at him with invested eyes as you watched as he started to answer. “She’s great. Super sweet and nice, I really like her and all., but she… she’s kinda boring. You know not like the girls I’m used to, I just don’t know… She’s not that special but…I just feel...”

That’s all before you turned around back into the crowd. You were pushing your way through the crowd, not caring to say excuse me as you just wanted to get away. You built your expectations so high for Richard and they fell to nothing within five seconds. Finally made way to the front door of the cramped house.  “Y/n? Shit…”

You tried to quicken your pace to find your car.  Unfortunately, as the later it got the bigger the party got, so the lawn was filled with drunk and high people having the time of their lives where you were probably having the worst night of your life. “Y/n! Wait!”

“Just leave me alone…” You mutter to yourself as you fought off tears from forming, not wanting to be the type of person to cry over a person they never had but it was hard when your mind kept replaying the scene on the dance floor. You found your way to your car found that people were leaned up against it, making out. “Sorry... could you please get off my car? ”

They both took their time getting off your car as they mumbled something under their breath about you having a stick up your ass but you didn’t care at all. You wanted nothing more than to get in your car and leave. “Y/n, I said wait.”

You could see Richard’s arm in front of your face as he held the door down so you couldn’t open it. You sighed and tried to sniffle back some tears that were threatening to slip out. You tried to pull the door and your efforts were fruitless as the door didn’t budge at all. “Y/n, just listen to me.”

“No, I thought you were different from the other guys. You’re not. You know what? I don’t care either.” You told him as you turn to face him, failing to stop the tears from falling. You sighed and angrily wiped the fallen ones away from your face. “Richard, I really liked you. I thought it was mutual but-”

“It is!...I swear to you. Y/n, just let me explain.” He told you. You could tell by the tone in his voice that he was pleading and you kept yourself from looking at his face. You knew if you saw his face you were gonna fall into whatever he was going to say. 

“You don’t need to explain. I heard you loud and clear.” You said turned to the door, he had let go of his grip on the door. You opened it successfully and took a step inside so he would be unable to slam it shut. “You said it you’re self, I’m not special. Now since you had your fun with me or whatever you were doing, you can go ahead and be with the girls you are used to. I don’t care, Richard.”

The look on Richard’s face was something hard to describe. A mixture of hurt, pissed off, and confused were the best words you could come up for it. You quickly put the keys into the ignition as you, once again, wipe your tears away with annoyance. You took a shaky breath as you started the car, ignoring Richard as he stood by your car still trying to explain to you. You couldn’t hear him, the only thing on your mind your whole way home was the moment on the dance floor and how it absolutely breaks your heart that Richard was exactly like all the other boys.

Cripes, if all these The Last Jedi spoilers are true I’m just...

I’m out.

They do my boy Luke Skywalker dirty and I ain’t payin’ money to watch that.  I am not here to watch the iconic OT characters being used and discarded like garbage.

Screw that noise.

I just finished the wedding part last week and damn that was good. I then started rereading again because I was wondering if you hinted at this stuff and you have since forever! I don't know if you've talked about it before but Alexander has changed. Like damn (sorry using it twice) the way he acted when he was with Mara to the rest was more playfully and funny. Then after you can see him less so. Like he has a visible drop in the story. I don't know if you meant that. If you did that's fucking awesome. Can't wait to keep reading more and I hope things go better for Lynette because she deserves it. She's got some issues going on or I guess it seems like all of them do. I hope all the night crew learn to get along, damn (third time whoops) it. You probably get this a lot but you're doing great.

THANK YOU! AHHH! I am sorry it took so long for me to reply to this! I did do that on purpose, or attempted too. I gotta go back at some point and rewrite it better as I'm learning! BUT-

I appreciate your sweet words. It really made my day reading it and is making my day rereading and FINALLY replying to it! YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE ON HERE BETTER HAVE A GREATO REST OF YOUR DAY! NONNEGOTIABLE!

Slight spoilers below.

There's so much that I had with it, the slight resentment toward Lynette for a while until after that moment, when he finally 'let it go' or stopped spinning the vortex. (The wine which, Mara, as you know loved). Forced it down, even though he hated the taste. It's so dumb I know but eeeeh! I have been hinting at so many things in widfali, like- most don't make sense until we get to that point. But it's just in case someone wants to reread it later. ANYWAY! AS I SAID EARLIER, GREATO DAY!

Din’s gonna show up on Luke’s doorstep with a bunch of random assassins and probably Peli (who COULD be an assassin but no one’s ever hired her for that so I think that’s more called murder) and Luke, in the middle of brunch with his sister cause they’re both weirded out by a maelstrom of discontentment moving toward them, open it up all ‘oh thank fuck thot y’all was comin for me, I was halfway through convincing my sister to actually wear armor for once’ and Din’s just shyly standing there all ‘I have a present for Grogu’ and if Luke says anything about Jedi attachments Din just points at Leia all ‘oh. So she’s not allowed to see her son either?’ And Luke just faces the most awkward silence ever in his life and goes ‘ahhh. Okay. He’s in the playroom’ only to turn around and Grogu is directly behind him like ‘sup, my dude, is that for me?’ And then toddles right into Din’s arms.

Then they say they’re gonna go back to Tatooine and kill the colonist Pykes trying to take over the land for spice moving and the twins are all ‘…all we had going for us this week was the 10 year old exams and watching Han and Chewie wrestle at dawn… can we come?’ And then you add two completely feral idiots to the mix and them Pykes won’t know what fuckin hit them cause they probably won’t see it coming. Also Grogu is there too just chillin in Peli’s garage with her, makin friends with BD and being fed. Also Artoo get’s to wreck some shit like the feral droid he is.

Let’s be real here, Din’s probably not done with his darksaber accidents and probably nearly cuts a limb off and Luke is all ‘…lmaoooo’ cause that hits the funny bone right there and Leia just sighs and tells Luke to train the idiot a bit before he dies by his own sword and Grogu just pats over like ‘lol I can fix it’ and it’s lovely.

Han and Chewie are wondering where their friends went… no one left a note…

Boba and Fennec are pleased with the outcome and also like ten other clones show up for a family reunion. Everyone lives happily ever after. The sequels were a fever dream Luke had about a possible future in which he never met Mara and that’s proof enough to get married lol.
