Gallius Rax: "I don't know whether I want to kiss you or kill you."

Rae Sloane: slowly pulling out her blaster "I can make that decision for you."

Hi!! 6, 13 and 17 for the Star Wars ask! ^_^

Hey Dan!!! I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to answer this!

6: do you have any ships?

I ship the typical canon ships like Anidala and such, but I also ship Gallirae (Gallius Rax and Rae Sloane) (I’m more of a family-friend relationship oriented person so I don’t have lots of ships!)

13: would you want to be a force user?

Yes, but not a Jedi :( I couldn’t deal with the pressures (perhaps I’d pull an Ahsoka and leave the order.)

17: how were you introduced to the fandom?

I’ve been a Star Wars fan since I was a tot, but I was introduced to the online fandom when I was around nine/ten. (I’ve been reading fanfic for a long time aha.)

rax leaves a golden apple labeled “for the fairest” on the shadow council table to test a new classically inspired psyop but everyone is like ugh sloane get ur man to keep the pda out of our meetings

What do you mean to tell me there isn’t a Gallirae beauty and the beast AU by now? Does nobody see the potential that screams?

Sloane is hella clever, she’s beautiful, she’s often looked over or down upon by the others in the Empire.

Rax is an outcast, a ‘lowlife’, he’s used, and thus forth he takes it out on the people around him.

Let Rae fix the broken/tragic monster 🙃

invented a chess opening called the lovers gambit where you toss the pieces aside and start kissing your opponent on the table

the most questionable thing about gallirae is that they are the two imperials who want to hatebang the Most and who flirt before mortal combat and who have a disaster sugar baby third wheel, but they’re like the rarest imperial pair of all time

COSIGNED because I don’t really get why the Star Wars fandom never really picked up on Rae Sloane and Gallius Rax.

I think as far as villain-shipping goes, both characters are above average complexity for a Star Wars novel + you get way more ~tense scenes~ and symbolism and snarly-shooting-finger-breaking drama than most villain-to-villain interactions, and yet…

And yet not much people give them attention. Generally the Aftermath books don’t get talked about so much, which is a darn shame for many small details that are enjoyable in it.

But yeah, Rae x Rax is definitely one of my biggest ships.

Star Wars Enemies to Lovers Fic Rec

Would you like some well-written Aftermath fanfic Content?

Do you love villains?

Are you, like me, always searching for more of that sweet sweet enemies to lovers content?

Do you enjoy scenes where said mortal enemies aggressively wrestle one another so you can mentally interpret this in a very different context?

If any (or all) of the above sounds of interest, I'd like to suggest checking out Fellow Outcasts, a gallirae fanfic by @permian-tropos!

Gallius Rax / Rae Sloane - An unnecessary HS AU

[magisterhego]

@permian-tropos​

"two people who already know and are both secretly pining for one another meet in disguise at a masquerade ball and share a tense but extremely revealing conversation that they would never have if they knew each another's true identities" scenes are always such an exhilarating ride from start to finish... the confusion and conflicting emotions, the undeniable attraction from both parties generating sexual tension so obvious it's physically painful, the sheer drama of it all... *chef's kiss* poetic cinema

gallius rax every time he ruins a little bit more of the empire right in front of rae sloane's face

[bambibae101010]

If somebody asked Gallius Rax what his biggest fear was I can guarantee his answer would be “the emotions I could POSSIBLY have for Sloane”

Because let’s be real even he isn’t certain what the hell is going on anymore between them, and that speaks volumes

A Very Imperial Valentines Week - Day 1 - “Your Empire Needs You!”

His hands clap together. He beams. “Yes. I knew we made a good team, Rae. When we are done with the galaxy, there will be no worlds left to conquer. They will all be ours. Thank you.” She offers a reticent nod. “Of course.” -From Aftermath: Life Debt by Chuck Wendig

This obscure pairing is seriously my fave thing recently. The interactions between these two are so delicious, it’s all imperial intrigues and power plays, raw tensions mixed with dry humour and situational absurdity. (Image based on a piece by Leyendecker, because of the ‘reigning lady and evil adviser’ poses.)

I’d also like to introduce a short story that made me so interested that I ended up buying the book itself: they came down like knives by permian-tropos!
