Challenge 2: A Gif or Screenshot of a favourite Kalluzeb moment.

This is some real “they certainly are standing next to each other” content but hear me out. My favourite Kalluzeb moment is anytime they move to be next to each or look at each other in the finale.

Here, Zeb is walking in with Pryce and Azadi.

But instead of following them, he decided to stand by Kallus.

Or here, where Zeb is standing behind Hera on the platform, right in front of the stairs.

But instead of following her down those steps, he goes the long way round so he can go down the other stairs with Kallus.

There are a few moments in the last two episodes where they turn to look at each other and they will always move to be standing near one another.

It’s nothing huge, however, this is animation. Every one of these tiny motions had to be deliberately put in and probably cost extra money to do meaning someone decided that spending a little extra money on animation so that Zeb and Kallus could share a look in the background was worth every penny, and whoever made that decision has my whole heart.

Challenge Day 5: Tell us a headcanon you have about one of both of the guys

Kallus 100% liked the clone troopers even if people looked down on them. He shared their enthusiasm for rooting out “insurgents” in the early Empire but kept his admiration to himself more and more as they were being phased out.

            Zeb was a JOCK on Lasan. He wasn’t a bully but I can see him growing up a little sensitive about being perceived as physically weak in any way.

            At some point Zeb and Kallus would be in a three-way prank war with Ezra. Sometimes two of them gang up on the third or two of them will get pranked by the third at once.

(To clarify. I don’t mean it’s kalluzeb vs Ezra I mean it’s kallus vs Ezra vs zeb. Sometimes kal and Ezra get zeb and zeb and Ezra get kal, some times zeb and kal just prank each other)

(clap clap clap clap clap clap clap)

For day 1 of @bahrynfestival I'm sharing an idea for a fic that I want to write someday, and fulfills the prompt of "In another life".

So here it goes. Imagine this:

Everything happens pretty much the same except for a small, but very important detail. What if Zeb was not only a captain of the Honor Guard, but also of the Royal Family of Lasan. Being a distant relative of the queen (like third cousin or something), he was so down in the line of succession, that in his youth, he never imagined he could sit on the throne. Neither did he have the desire to do so. The only way he could do that, however, was if his entire family die… and then the Siege of Lasan happened.

He still escaped his home planet and eventually joined the Ghost Crew. He never said a word about his royal status. But the day the crew rescued Chava and Gron, he's forced to face the fact that he's the sovereign of his people when Chava started babbling about the prophecy of "The king, the warrior, and the fool". He managed to keep the fact hidden by admitting that he had been an Honor Guard, but taking advantage of his unwanted position, he forbade Chava and Gron to tell the others anything else. Chava was not happy about it but recognized he wasn't ready for taking the responsibility as king, so she kept her mouth shut, for a while. Besides, the prophecy came true, Lira San was found.

Every time she brought the subject up in the later years, Zeb always had the excuse of being fighting the Empire; that it was his way to serve and protect his people. Not entirely untrue, but once the war is over, it wasn't a good excuse anymore.

You might be wondering where was Kallus in all of this, well, he still was a bastard ISB agent: he and Zeb still got stranded on Bahryn; he still became Fulcrum, and eventually defected from the Empire. And of course, they both were stupidly in love with each other, pining each other endlessly, making everyone around them wonder when they'd kiss already. It happened on Endor, during the celebrations after the second Death Star blew up.

The first months after that were a true honeymoon, until Zeb started to be a ball of constant stress, and Kallus asked him what was going on. It took some serious encouragement, but Zeb finally confesses that the group of Lasan survivors along with some Lira San natives wanted to reclaim Lasan.

At first, Kallus think Zeb is upset because they'll be apart for a while, which he'd understand, but when Zeb he'd have to stay in Lasan because he's their king...

"Excuse me, you're their what?!"

Zeb asks Kallus to go with him, because he can't do it alone, he doesn't know how to rule, he doesn't want to. Kallus refuses at first. He's terrified of offending other survivors with his presence. It was already hard to accept Zeb's forgiveness, but others wouldn't be so gracious. But in the end (and with the help of Chava, using the prophecy as an argument) Kallus goes with Zeb.

A few Lasats weren't too happy about his presence, but for the most part, they saw Kallus' help to restore Lasan as his atonement for his participation in the siege. He was giving them back part of what he took away from them.

During all this, Chava had a side scheming going on. She never told Zeb and Kallus that there was a second part to the prophecy, which said that the King and Warrior would lead their people to a golden age. As part of their coronation rituals for Zeb, whoever was destined to become the consort to the sovereign would find a branch of a specific, very special tree that later would become the royal scepter. She left those finer details out of the explanation when she asked Kallus to help her find a branch for Zeb.

Zeb was surprised and flustered when he saw Kallus coming with the branch in hand knowing its significance, especially because there a bunch of people around who also knew.

"You didn't tell him, did ya?" he said to Chava, who had the smugest grin.

"Tell me what?" Kallus said, scared that he did something awful.

Zeb explained and ended up asking him to mate with him, awkwardly because it's in front of everyone.

So that's how Alexsandr Kallus became Prince Consort to King Garazeb Orrelios of Lasan. And both restored and led Lasan to a golden age, just like the prophecy said.

The End.

Challenge 2: Post a gif or a screenshot of a favorite Kalluzeb moment

via Imgflip

I don't make gifs so I hope this works. The moment I keep rewinding and looking forward to is the exchange between Kallus and Zeb when Zeb tries climbing the ice wall on Bahryn.  “You’re going to hurt yourself.” (Sees Zeb fall again. Chuckles.)

Challenge 4: Rec a fic or share an AO3 bookmark

            The Grand Gamble by MossyWrites This was the first Kalluzeb fic I ever read. Pretty sure I read it before I even started watching Rebels.

Challenge 4 - Rec a fic or share one of your bookmarks.

(I’m goona do both 😜)

Fic Rec - Not Safe for Space Whales by @kin-rokku

Something about this fic just scratches my brain just right, I can’t explain it. The story is cute, the descriptions are on point, and there’s a nice little discussion about safe sex which I love.

Bookmark - Poisonous Heat by @reginastellaris

This is some good smut, with those good complicated Kalluzeb feelings. (The second chapter especially is some top tier smut to me) plus we have Kallus working himself to exhaustion 🤤.

Day 3 - Share a promt you’d love to read. 

Soooo many it’s hard to choose. I love anything set in that time period after the rebels save Lothal, but before Kallus and Zeb visit Lira San, especially if its the two of them being roommates with ✨feelings✨ and trying to figure that out. So basically -

But also, I really want Y2K au’s to become a thing. I love modern earth au’s but stories flow a lot better without smart phones in them. “Why didn’t he just text him?” He was out of texts for the month, that’s why.

Plus I think there’s a lot of potential for Y2K romance tropes, like burning a CD for someone, trusting them to feed your tamagotchi, the ps2 controllers are too far away from the sofa so you’ve got to huddle up on the floor if you wanna play Tekken with your crush.

Idk, maybe I just want them to have the squekiest sex ever on one of these bad boys.

[seth-shitposts]

mmmmm since bahryn fest, since June 12th, we've posted over 37k to ao3. I'm curious how much we can have posted by the two month marker-

[kalluzeb4later]

The lasat has such a sad look on his face like he expected Zeb to know who he is but he doesn’t . The guys had his eyes down since he showed up. Zeb feels bad about it. It’s been a long time since he had a friend, he guesses.

Zeb offers his hand. “Zeb. My name’s Zeb.”

The lasat’s ears lower just a fraction more.

“Short for Garazeb.” He finally meets Zebs eyes. Zeb freezes. “I know.”
