Since you have decided to relocate to Pabu, Tech has compiled a list of things you should be...aware of.

3. Do not believe Wrecker’s claim that Pabu has a nude beach. 14. The Archium is only slightly haunted. 38. Hide all reflective objects during moon-yo mating season.

Wanted to make another drawing for the fancy clothing series and my mind just screamed LUVARI!! Ofc this beautiful lady belongs to dear @eclec-tech and is the protagonist of her amazing series; Psychology of a Sniper ☺️💖

[apocalyp-tech-a]

Happy Birthday to @eclec-tech!!!  I drew this art of Crosshair and AmberOwl24′s OC Luvari Tulren as a special gift for her because she is an awesome friend and bestie. 💜 If you have not gotten the chance, please give the “A Sniper Walk Into A Bar...” series a chance on Ao3!  It is SO good as are all of AmberOwl24′s works!  Happy birthday!!!  🥳

Affirmative! Yes! Tagwa! Elek! Uma! Ibana! But if you ask me a question about my stories, I PROMISE to answer in English (after performing an embarrassing happy dance that you fortunately will not be here to see).

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

"The Turn"

I had a thought about this handsome fellow, and it manifested itself in the form of a little ficlet...

Crosshair's eyes narrowed at the screen as five bright blips suddenly appeared exactly where he was hoping they wouldn't. "There's a squad on our tail, closing fast."

Omega turned with the authority of a commander. "Get to the tail gun. I'll get us out of here."

"You're sure?" One of them had to fly and one of them had to shoot. He wasn't at all happy with their chances knowing that she would have to be responsible for one of those.

"Tech taught me! GO!"

That was unexpectedly comforting news. Crosshair nodded and bolted for the rear of the ship, leaving Omega to hopefully do Tech proud as pilot. She did. She climbed and dove, weaving through the terrain as if Tech himself were guiding her hands.

An angry beeping broke her concentration. "The lead ship's targeting our engines! Crosshair, what do I do?"

Crosshair raced back to the cockpit. "Omega, turn sharp, zero thrusters NOW!"

Omega instantly realized her brother's plan. She turned the ship and cut the engines, then immediately reengaged the thrusters--the "Tech Turn". Crosshair almost instantly removed four of their pursuers from the equation. The pilot of the lead ship however, performed the exact same maneuver the moment Omega had begun her own turn, and was now careening skyward in an attempt to once again get behind the shuttle that now had no gunner in position.

Crosshair's blood ran cold. He knew of only one person who could fly like that, and according to a recent conversation with a very tearful Omega, he couldn't possibly be here. Yet here he was.

"Omega, we have a very big problem."

[eclec-tech]

"Finding the Lost"

I didn't think I would be back so soon after the finale with a fix-it fic, but here we are—seven short chapters over seven days. I hope they are as comforting for you to read as they were for me to write! 🧡

He attempted to slow his descent by again flattening his body, but he knew his odds would only be marginally improved by his efforts. In what he was almost sure would be his last moments, he closed his eyes and focused hard on the faces and voices of his family. He wondered what their grieving expressions would look like once they got to safety—if they got to safety. Then, there was Crosshair. Would he ever know what they tried to do here for him so he could be rescued? Tech hoped he would. That would mean they got him out.

[eclec-tech]

"The Phee Fall Maneuver"

“So…Omega was telling me about a special flying maneuver you taught her on the Marauder.”

He couldn’t help but flinch at the mention of his beloved ship. He had once told Omega that it was “merely a mode of transportation”, but he now knew that statement to be false. It was home. It was freedom. And it was gone, thanks to him.

Phee smiled kindly as she continued. “She said it was called the ‘Tech Turn’. Ring any bells?”

[eclec-tech]

"Different"

Another season three ficlet, this one about the possible meeting of Phee and a recently recovered Tech...

When Phee got the news, her first impulse was to scream. Whether from happiness or despair, she wasn’t entirely sure. Probably both. Tech was alive! But he was different. What had Echo meant when he said “different”? She wished she had thought to ask. The only other words she seemed to hear were “meet us” and “we’re sending you coordinates”. Only after the blue light of the hologram faded did her ability to think return enough to wonder what “different” could possibly mean.

That question, and the dozens of others her mind tortured her with on the way to the rendezvous, made the following hours in hyperspace the longest she had ever experienced.

When Phee touched down at the rendezvous point, she leapt from the ramp before it had even fully lowered, but stopped just as quickly when she saw only the clones she already knew were alive.

“Where is he?” she asked no one in particular, scanning the area behind them to see if he was inspecting some part of the hull or standing behind Wrecker on his datapad.

A figure in strange, dark armor suddenly appeared at the top of the ramp, and Phee’s eyes went wide. The man descended with a complete lack of urgency and stopped at the bottom. He stood motionless as the soulless, polarized lenses of his helmet stared directly at her.

She walked slowly forward as if someone else were controlling her legs. Every step closer to this man increased her fear. She knew it was Tech. He was the last thing her newly found family would ever joke about. But something was very off.

He remained completely motionless even as she stopped directly in front of him.

“When I said not to go running off with any pirates or smugglers, I didn’t think I had to include, ‘Don’t join the Empire.’”

The man before her said nothing.

Hunter and Wrecker exchanged a look. “He might need some time,” Hunter said softly. “He’s been through some things.”

“We all have,” Phee whispered in response. “Would you all mind giving us a minute?”

Crosshair opened his mouth to object, but Omega’s hand around his wrist all but dragging him back onto their ship kept him silent. The others followed, leaving Phee and Tech alone.

She stared into the helmet. “C-Can we take this off? I need to know it’s you.”

“No.”

Phee gasped. “No to the helmet, or no, you’re not Tech?”

“The helmet,” the modulated voice answered slowly. “You require a briefing. I am…not ready.”

“Okay.” Phee’s lip began to quiver. “How about we go join the others, and they can fill me in?” Tech nodded but did not move even as Phee stepped past him.

“I…did as you instructed,” he said quietly before she got halfway up the ramp. She turned and walked back down. “I have known no pirates or smugglers in our time apart.”

Phee smiled and lifted her hand to gently stroke the side of the no longer intimidating helmet. “Glad to hear it, Brown Eyes.”

Drop whatever you're doing and go read this incredible piece by @eclec-tech - trust me, you will not regret it! @photogirl894 just shared this in the discord server and we are all rolling on the floor over it. It's a quick read and it's so funny!

[eclec-tech]

YES! That last one is especially true. I love it when someone says they are reading my fic at work (and shouldn't be).

stuff that feels rewarding as a fanfic author:

when your work inspires fanart/comics

when people point out a scene/particular line(s) that tugged at their heartstrings

when people ask for your meta of your work that they enjoyed so much

when someone comments on a fic you wrote 982783113502 years ago

getting recc’d

just the small happiness in knowing you made someone out there smile on their way to work/home or at school, in knowing you warmed someone’s heart somehow

You discover that Fox isn't the only person in the galaxy's history to have had a ghostly existence after death, and an unexpected discovery leads to an encounter in your apartment neither of you saw coming.

@pinahallowsevecloneparty

“Let’s get to it then.” He leaned against one of the marble columns and crossed his arms in what you had determined to be his default posture. How he could be solid against some objects and pass through others was something you would never understand. “Okay.” You began pacing slowly in front of him as you gathered your thoughts. “I don’t believe you are the only person this has happened to.” “By ‘this,’ you mean being a headless monster?” “No, no. I don’t mean that, and you’re not a monster, so hush.” You cleared your throat and continued. “What I mean is, there have been others who seemed to have died, only to turn up later as some sort of protector.”

[eclec-tech]

Boo. Ya.

“Screw writing “strong” women. Write interesting women. Write well-rounded women. Write complicated women. Write a woman who kicks ass, write a woman who cowers in a corner. Write a woman who’s desperate for a husband. Write a woman who doesn’t need a man. Write women who cry, women who rant, women who are shy, women who don’t take no shit, women who need validation and women who don’t care what anybody thinks. THEY ARE ALL OKAY, and all those things could exist in THE SAME WOMAN. Women shouldn’t be valued because we are strong, or kick-ass, but because we are people. So don’t focus on writing characters who are strong. Write characters who are people.”
