Stars Beyond Number - Chapter 18

The Way the World Ends, Part 2

Rating: T (rating varies by chapter; mature content will be tagged; regardless of rating, minors DNI)

Pairings: Echo x Riyo Chuchi; Gregor x OFC Cerra Kilian

Wordcount: 2.8k

Warnings and tags: angst; suspense; canon-typical violence; discussion of a corpse and cause of death; language.

Suggested Listening:

Summary: The strike team returns from Balmorra; Echo makes a graceful exit; Gregor and Riyo make an unexpected trip.

A/N: This story shares continuity with Martyrs and Kings and "Do It Again," but all three fics can be read as stand-alones.

…This is the way the world ends…

—T. S. Eliot, “The Hollow Men”

If Echo was concerned that Gregor would be off his game after his argument with Cerra, he soon found that was not the case. If anything, the commando was more focused than usual, barely engaging in any of his usual banter the first day of the mission. It was kriffing weird, and Echo didn’t like it. Luckily, his humor improved steadily, and by the time several days later that Rex signaled that the mission was a go, the commando was nearly vibrating with adrenaline.

The extraction was a near-total success. The team worked together flawlessly. They recovered Howzer and his men, and the team didn’t even sustain any injuries. The only downside was the data transfer. Echo wasn’t sure how much he’d been able to retrieve after the imps tried to erase all the records, and though he spent the entire hyperspace jump back to Coruscant working on it, he wasn’t able to crack the encryption on his own.

He needed help. He needed Tech.

The data couldn’t be transmitted until it was decrypted, which meant Echo had no choice but to deliver the data spike in person. He couldn’t deny that he was looking forward to seeing the Batch again; he’d tried to comm them when he could over the past weeks, but galactic time zones and his own unpredictable schedule often meant he was only able to leave or receive a brief holomessage. Given everything he’d discovered about Fives, though, he very much wanted to see his family and have an opportunity to discuss it with them.

Echo harbored no doubts about the righteousness of Rex’s mission, but when he thought about all of the secrets that had begun to be revealed—and those that still remained hidden—he felt a deep foreboding that some time, possibly very soon, there would be a reckoning. When that happened, it seemed inevitable that Echo would have to choose between staying the course with Rex’s group and rejoining the Batch. Before he could make that choice, he needed to have an honest conversation with Riyo about exactly where they stood.

As they approached Coruscant, Echo grew antsy at the thought of seeing her again. He would need to leave almost immediately after dropping off the rest of the team, but he hoped he could at least find a moment to see her in person before he departed.

He was surprised to see the senator herself waiting with her guards when they landed on the garage platform. The Pantoran guards helped Howzer and his men get settled in and fed. Gregor’s eyes quickly scanned the garage, his eyebrows drawing together as he noted the absence of the freighter. Riyo explained that Cerra had departed on a mission the previous day.

“Where?” Gregor asked shortly.

“I don’t know,” Riyo replied. “Rex asked me to send someone to guard the garage until one of the away teams returned.”

“I’m glad you decided to join them,” Echo said. “I was hoping I’d see you before I had to go again.”

“You’re leaving?” she asked, surprised.

Howzer joined them, and Echo didn’t have a chance to explain further. He introduced the captain to Riyo, and they immediately began to discuss the conditions on Balmorra, while Gregor went to help the others settle in. The longer Howzer spoke, the more determined Riyo’s face became.

“We must find out where that ship was headed,” she said.

“I recovered a portion of the data logs,” Echo said. “It's heavily encrypted, but I know someone who can crack it.”

He hesitated. There was so much more he wanted to say, but it was too private, too personal to say in front of Howzer. Riyo met his gaze with understanding in her eyes.

“Go,” she said firmly. “I'll take care of things here and see what else I can find out.”

“Thank you, Senator,” he said, hoping that she knew how much he meant those words.

She looked up at him with a gentle smile as she laid her hand softly on his shoulder. “Be careful, Echo.”

He nodded, then turned to leave, wishing that he could kiss her goodbye. He was only likely to be gone a few days, but something tugged at him, leaving him unsettled. As he boarded the Remora, he couldn’t help sneaking one last glance back at Riyo, only to meet her eyes as he discovered that she had never looked away.

True to her word, Riyo remained at the garage with Gregor, Howzer, and the others. Her stomach churned with anxiety when she thought too hard about Echo’s mission, but she was determined to keep her promise to take care of the fledgling resistance group in the repair shop until Rex, Echo, or Cerra returned to relieve her. She knew she would have to return to the Senate before long; otherwise, she would risk drawing unwanted attention to her movements—not to mention being guilty of gross negligence of her duties to the people of Pantora.

Her advocacy for the clones had already put her under an Imperial microscope. The smallest misstep could prove fatal not only for herself, but for Echo, Rex, and the others—even for her guards. They had willingly volunteered to assist Riyo in her efforts, but she could not deny that without her influence, they would have been highly unlikely to have gotten involved in an endeavor that was by its very nature an act of treason.

Riyo had vowed to serve a Republic that no longer existed. Every day, the last vestiges of that Republic were being smothered by the inexorable momentum of the Empire. She refused to sit in complacency and allow that to happen. She would fight to her last breath in the Senate, the only way she knew how.

But for now, she stayed in the garage, making sure Howzer and his men received the medical care they needed after their experience with the Empire’s particular brand of hospitality, disbursing funds for supplies, and hoping to every god in the galaxy that she didn’t kriff anything up. It wasn’t as though Gregor, Nemec, and Fireball particularly needed her. They were all perfectly capable of taking care of things on their own, and more than once, Riyo questioned why exactly it was she felt so very determined to stick close to the group who clearly did not require a babysitter. Still, none of them indicated that she was unwelcome, and she supposed that if an emergency arose, she could respond faster if she didn’t have to make the long trek from the Federal district through Coruscant’s endless traffic.

Gregor, in particular, bonded quickly with Howzer and his men. With his laid-back and genial personality, the commando had a way of making friends easily, and Riyo sometimes thought he’d have made an excellent politician, if it hadn’t been for his total lack of filter and his occasionally ribald sense of humor. He helped the newcomers settle in, and if his efforts on the rescue mission hadn’t already secured their enduring loyalty, his cooking would have done so.

Things went surprisingly smoothly, right up until they didn’t.

Two days after Echo’s departure, Gregor received a comm from Rex. He took the call in the main hangar bay, but when he saw the somber expression on Rex’s face, the commando glanced at Riyo and jerked his head to motion her toward Rex’s tiny office. He closed the door behind them and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Cerra’s in trouble,” Rex replied without preamble.

Gregor’s relaxed posture didn’t change, but his eyes sharpened, and there was an edge to his voice as he asked, “What kind of trouble?”

Riyo’s gaze darted between Gregor and the flickering blue hologram of Rex’s face. There was a tense undercurrent between the two clones. She didn’t fully comprehend its complexities, but she hadn’t become a senator without learning how to read people, and her instincts warned her to tread carefully in this conversation.

“She went to Daiyu to extract a clone named Nax,” Rex said. “I don’t know exactly what happened, but…”

He trailed off, and Gregor leaned forward impatiently. “What the kriff aren’t you telling me?”

“She commed me,” Rex replied. “There was no sign of Nax, and the contact she was supposed to meet was dead.”

“Empire?” Gregor asked.

“Unsure, but seems likely,” Rex replied.

“Any word from your mysterious person on the inside?” Gregor asked.

Rex hesitated. “I’m still waiting to hear.”

“So Cerra needs backup to find this Nax,” Gregor mused. “I can go. Take Nemec with me. Maybe Fireball. We’ll take that rusty piece of kark shuttle. Tell Cerra to lie low until we get there; that shuttle’s hyperdrive is powered by snail—”

“Cerra was shot,” Rex interrupted bluntly.

Riyo gasped, her eyes wide with shock. Gregor froze, staring at the hologram. He didn’t speak, but his face took on an expression of such fury that Riyo took an instinctive step backward.

“I need you to meet me on Daiyu,” Rex said. “Riyo, is there a chance you can get a ship that can get there fast and without being tracked?”

Riyo swallowed. “Yes. My diplomatic shuttle. I’ll need to go with you to avoid suspicion, though. There are security protocols in—”

“Set it up,” Gregor cut in. “We’re leaving now.”

Despite Gregor’s urgency, it took some time to depart Coruscant. Riyo had to return to the Pantoran embassy to retrieve the shuttle, and the rest of the group in the garage needed to be briefed. Gregor explained the situation quickly as he suited up in his armor, then sent Riyo a set of coordinates a short hyperspace jump away where he would rendezvous with her diplomatic shuttle to avoid anyone asking questions about why she was boarding an official vessel in the company of a fugitive clone commando.

She signaled her shuttle to be ready to depart as soon as she returned to the embassy. Adrenaline coursed through her veins. How is it that I always seem to end up getting into trouble every time I talk to Rex? she mused. She hoped nobody would be shooting at her this time, but she doubted her luck was that good.

The shuttle was waiting when she arrived, and within minutes, they made the jump to hyperspace. Unsurprisingly, they arrived at the rendezvous point before Gregor, but his antiquated shuttle wasn’t too far behind. They docked, he transferred to her ship, and by the time she and Gregor joined the pilot in the cockpit, the two ships had already separated and they’d made the jump to hyperspace. The entire exchange had taken less than a minute, and Riyo wondered exactly how many times the commando had performed that exact maneuver.

“Nemec will take our shuttle back to the garage,” Gregor said. “Assuming the freighter is intact, I’ll fly it home from Daiyu. Shouldn’t need to jump through that hoop again.”

“How exactly are you planning to find the freighter?” Riyo asked. “Daiyu is a big place.”

“Tracking beacon,” he replied. “Cerra puts encrypted trackers in all of our ships and speeders. She likes to keep track of things. Supply officer, you know.” He giggled. “I’d be surprised if she hasn’t tagged your speeder with one. Might want to have your guards have a look over it.”

“I’m surprised you’re able to make a joke at a time like this,” Riyo said, slightly shocked at his apparent callousness.

Gregor raised an eyebrow. “Who says I’m joking?”

She blinked. “You laughed…”

“Don’t have much control over that,” he replied. “You try gettin’ blown up sometime. Let me know how it shakes out for you.”

Realization dawned, and with it came shame.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have assumed,” she said.

Gregor shrugged. “Not the worst thing someone has said about me.”

They lapsed into an uncomfortable silence, until finally Riyo hesitantly asked, “Do you think Cerra is all right?”

Gregor stared out the viewport into the dizzying blue swirl of hyperspace. He didn’t respond.

Daiyu was a miserable place. The lurid neon glow of the city entirely failed to distract from its overwhelming atmosphere of desperation and suffering. In many ways, it reminded Riyo of the Coruscant underworld with its bright lights and dark secrets, but Daiyu also had the questionable distinction of being a major center of the spice trade. The system had been a thorn in the side of the galaxy for decades. The Republic had never succeeded in regulating Daiyu, and it seemed the Empire was meeting with similar obstacles—assuming regulation was indeed their goal.

They located the freighter quickly, thanks to Cerra’s tracking beacon. Rex was waiting for them when they docked in the tiny, out-of-the-way shipyard.

“Senator,” he greeted her, nodding quickly at Gregor. “You should remain with your ship. Better yet, you should take it back to Coruscant. This place isn’t safe for you.”

“Not a chance,” Riyo declared. “Cerra is my friend, too.”

“And she’ll shoot me herself if I let anything happen to you,” Rex replied tersely.

“Not to mention what Echo will do,” Gregor interjected.

“It’s not a negotiation,” Riyo said firmly. “I’m coming with you.”

“Not dressed like that, you’re not,” Gregor replied. “The minute you step onto the street, the entire planet will spot an easy mark.”

“Because a clone commando blends in so well,” she retorted.

“My armor might not blend, but at least it’s armor,” he pointed out.

Rex sighed. “Fine. You can come with us. Stick close, and put this on.”

He handed her a cloak of dubious cleanliness and extreme shabbiness.

“Do I want to know where you got this?” she asked.

“Probably not. If you have a blaster, I suggest you get ready to use it.”

Their search went both better and worse than expected. Riyo did not get stabbed, shot, or robbed, and nobody was more surprised than she. Unfortunately, that was where their good luck ended. They scouted the decrepit building where the rendezvous was supposed to happen, and they found nothing but the corpse of a Rodian who appeared to have been dead for some time.

“At least two days, maybe more, judging by the, er… rodent activity,” Gregor said. “Looks like he was executed. Blaster shot, point-blank.”

“Tortured?” Rex asked.

“Hard to say,” Gregor said. “Body’s not in great condition.”

Riyo felt sick. She looked away quickly, breathing carefully, trying not to think about it.

“Scan the building. Try to find anything that can tell us who took her,” Rex ordered.

They searched efficiently, but the detritus in the abandoned structure yielded no clues. Gregor kicked a pile of rubbish in disgust.

“This is pointless. It could have been anyone. Empire, spice deal gone wrong, even a syndicate hit,” he growled at Rex. “Tell me you asked your contact to look into it.”

“I asked my contact to look into it,” Rex replied, his voice brimming with frustration. “They’re looking into it.”

“Now what?” Riyo asked.

“Now we look for Nax,” Rex replied. “Cerra isn’t the only person we’re missing.”

They searched fruitlessly for hours. Daiyu City was massive and densely populated, and a single clone trooper could—apparently—disappear completely into its chaos. And that was assuming Nax had ever been on the planet to begin with; they still didn’t know exactly when or where the breach in their operational security had happened. For all they knew, the man himself might have been the one who betrayed them. Whatever the case, one thing was undeniable: Nax was in the wind. They could search for him for years and never find him.

At last, Rex called off the search, and they headed back to the dockyard. Gregor had fallen silent, his helmet blocking any attempt Riyo made to get a read on him. Rex, in his civilian clothing, was easier. His jaw was clenched, his eyes hard, and he occasionally glanced at Gregor with a troubled expression. When they reached the spaceport, Rex escorted Riyo to her shuttle while Gregor went to the freighter without a word.

“What will you do?” she asked.

Rex was silent for a moment, weighing his response. “There’s not much we can do. With any luck, my contact in the Empire will be able to track Cerra down. But if it wasn’t the Empire…”

He trailed off, and Riyo knew without being told. They might never find Cerra.

Alone in the freighter, Gregor removed his helmet and set it on the co-pilot’s seat next to Cerra’s. Her caf mug was still tucked into the armrest of the pilot’s seat, cold and empty. He ignored it, powering up the freighter’s engines and setting a course out of Daiyu’s atmosphere.

Once he cleared the planet’s gravity well and jumped to hyperspace, he slumped forward and dropped his head into his hands. His shoulders hitched, and he began to laugh. He clamped his hand over his mouth as tears streamed down his face. He couldn’t stop, and he couldn’t hold it in. When the laughter finally subsided, he snatched the travel mug and hurled it across the cockpit with a scream of rage and frustration.

“Fuck,” he whispered.

I'm on my rewatch of NNT and currently at S1 E11 and something I love is how even with little details, Nakaba seems to like having them build to something.

Ban stole the money Hawk made from selling ale an episode or two earlier.

We get to the final round between Meli and Diane, who think of half-assing their fight since either way they'll get Gideon.

Then Ban uses the money he stole to bribe some prostitutes to cheer for Meliodas and to likely act as if they're gonna sleep with him later. Ban says he does it to liven up the final round and he knew it would rile up Diane, which would mean Meliodas would have to put a bit more effort into his fight. I don't know if that was Ban doing it just to mess with Diane and Meliodas, or if he had a big brain moment and realized with the Holy Knights around that they'd need to keep up appearances. Even if it's small, it's a nice attention to detail that helps show that the Sins know each other not just as colleagues but as people.

Ban knew what to do to rile up Diane which would cause Meliodas to treat the fight more seriously, thus making the final round between two of the Sins more convincing to whatever Holy Knights are there.

Also love how Howzer's reaction to fighting Diane was a sort of happiness at being able to test his strength. He doesn't demean Diane, but shows her respect for her fighting prowess. Sure, she's the Serpent Sin of Envy but that just means he got to go toe-to-toe with one of the Sins and lived to tell the tale.

I think I shipped Howzer and Diane when I watched NNT for the first time, tho I also may have shipped her with King. To be honest tho, Ban x Elaine has always had a chokehold on me.

Part 3 of my nnt rewatch ep 13-18

I'm trying to watch it in latam Spanish but I just rlly love the English voice cast >:( I'm doing it for most scenes anyway tho🤪 I do love español!Elizabeth's voice tho !! I maintain that English!Ban is the best voice tho

Do we know why meliodas loses his emotions in this form?

And what form even is this? We never see it again if I remember correctly?

Helbram's magic lowkey cool as fuck

I want to see ban and Elizabeth interact one on one more often, as the two people closest to Meliodas (aside from Merlin, but she has secrets) I want to see them together, yk?

MelBan is just so good like they beat the shit out of each other to show love and I think that's beautiful

I know a lot of ppl ship lancelot and tristan but I ship their dads🫣 el oh el

Elizabeth should be way more powerful than she is and that is what polishes me off the most in all of sds honestly >:(

Also I'm back on my howzer x diane bullshit 😔

La voz del español!Meli es tan profundo, pienso que es la voz más diferente de las versiones, es extraño

Mi teoría sobre la voz de meliodas solo existe en las versiones de inglés y japonés I guess

King and Ban training together is so fucking cutee

I love how we just never rlly find out anything abt the trumpet of cernunos lol

How is ban's jacket too short but his pants aren't? Not complaining, that's just silly lol

Also him defending Meli even tho he obviously knows he's a demon is so🥺

Meliodas splitting the mountain with the branch is one of my fave scenes, we get to see that there's so much more to him and it hints at his coming power

I forgot how tragic Gil and Margaret were that's a good storyline damn

Ep 14 time !!

Is helbram... hot?

YESSS roars of dawn time !!! Slader is so babygirl I love him sm

Guila is such a girlboss line yaasss kween kill those children !!

Why the fuck does meliodas own so many slutty women's costumes HMMM? is he... you know... 👀💅

Gowther introducing himself to Hawk as oinkity oink oink is so real, I love their bond

I love that will Elizabeth feels insta love and Meliodas has BEEN in love for 3000 years

Slader is like if demon!meliodas, ban, and hawk had a baby and that baby was a slut

Seeing genuine surprise from Meliodas when "gowther" was going to be defeated is so weird, like mans was sad he lost his friend and had no idea that wasn't him

The roars of dawn are all hot and that's a good thing

Poor Dale. He just wanted to protect his family. And he was hot too😔

Ban flipping King off while Meliodas revels in Chastiefol's softness is such a representation of all three of them

Meliodas straight up using hellblaze to fight the armored giant/Dale is so funny, it's like baby isn't ur biggest secret that you're a 3000 year old demon prince?? And hellblaze is your specialty demon power?? This does not seem inconspicuous

Also might do a ramble on hellblaze later 👀

Also ban using a whip is kinda 😳

Indiana jones type drip (I am both attracted to and find gender envy from Indiana jones)

The girls are fightingggg

Also this title card is so cute !!

Meliodas straight up being the holy knight grand Master of danafor is so funny to me

He looks so cute in his danafor outfit😭

Also I wonder where meliodas gets the groping thing from because 3000 years ago he was def not like that, though the groping does get less frequent as the story goes on and that's when the holy war arc is so maybe nakaba just forgot abt it lol

Also slavery being canon in nnt britannia is crazy when you think about it

The only reason meliodas didn't carry a sword being he would kill too many people is just a litttleeee bit funny

But also Cain saying that he is both too violently destructive and "too gentle a soul" is painstaking ahaha🥲 literally the best descriptor for him

Gowther carrying King on piggyback is so cute😭😭

I think the moment Meliodas finally kills Dale is a real turning point in the series. Before this, he had not killed a single opponent. He just fought to disarm and incapacitate. Just the next episode, he tells ban and gowther to "go straight for the kill" against the holy knights. As we see throughout the rest of the series, even before his emotions get caught in purgatory, he no longer feels hesitant to kill. He only becomes more and more like himself from the time of the Holy War (post 10 commandments). This is why I love his character sm, a corruption arc (even if he is never truly evil) is just so rare and one this good and angst filled is even rarer.

Ban continually stealing the same 1980s glamrock red leather set with studs bc he keeps getting murdered in it is the foundation of his character fr

Gowther and Elizabeth being the only ones who are not alcoholics is so real

Also all of them just sniffing king kills me😭

Diane being 30 feet tall means the world to me

Also gowther is so pretty, esp without his glasses

Long hair!Dreyfus is also ridiculously pretty

Ban just letting Gowther squish his tits is so hashtag real, mans gives no fucks

Hug🥰

I don't think I've seen this episode since the first time I watched nnt bc I totally forgot Arthur was introduced in it lol

LISTEN howzer rooting for Diane when they're on opposite sides of the battle is just rlly cute look how flustered he is🥺

so in English, after gowther uses rewrite light, the holy knights say "Meliodas! There you are! Ban, I really missed you man!" BUT in Spanish they call Meliodas mijo (meaning my son/my kid) and Ban hermano (brother)😭😭

THEY CALL GOWTHER MI QUERIDO (my love/dear/beloved) AKKSLDLDLT

Howzer and Gyula being the first ones to publicly stand up to dreyfus and hendy means so much I love them

Hendy was so hot😭😭

Wait how did I just realize that fraudrin was the one to break gowther's nightmare teller

Wait I also juT realized that Dreyfus is Gil's uncle. Gil is dreyfus's nephew. How did I not comprehend that

King, sobbing: why can't I ever protect the people that I care about?😢😭😓 Helbram: it's because you're consistently late🤨😐🙄

Helbram's eyeliner game is almost as good as Ban's

Is Howzer's hair supposed to be green or blond? Discuss.

On that note, we always say Elizabeth's hair is silver, but it's def mint green

Anyway,that's episode 18! Can't believe I'm already about to be on my last part of season 1 !!

(7DS) Diane x F!Reader

Guide: F/n - first name

L/n - last name

H/c - hair color

Your name is (f/n) (l/n), and you fell for a giant. Not just any giant, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Diane the Serpent Sin of Envy...and you hated it. She was friendly with you of course, but you hadn't been able to pick up on any feelings towards you from her.

You were a citizen of Liones, and had lost your family during the war Hendrickson created, that the Sins stopped. It hurt still, since it was just a few days ago, but there was nothing you could do but try to move on. The city needed to be rebuilt, dozens of others were dead, and plenty other severely injured.

You gave a small sigh, pushing your (h/c) hair out of your face as you exited your house, shifting the basket on your hip that held lunch for the workers near by. They were working on rebuilding houses, and had finished yours just yesterday. You wanted to thank them..but as you approached, you heard a familiar voice, and noticed Diane was there, in her shrunken form, moving some bricks for them and doing heavy lifting for the group. They were all amazed, and you couldn't help the smile that spread across your face as she giggled and brushed off their compliments about her strength. She was humble when she wanted to be..and she wanted to be at the moment it seemed.

You came back to reality as her gaze turned towards you, and she let out a squeal and ran over to you, grabbing your hand, and doing a little twirl with you, causing laughter to bubble up from your chest

"Hi, Diane." You say through a smile. She giggled and took the basket from you as you nearly dropped it as she stopped twirling

"Hi, (y/n)!" She says, smiling as well, then looked to the basket

"What's this?" She asked with a tilt of her head, making your heart flutter. She's so cute!!

You hadn't noticed your cheeks had heated up as you stared at her, causing you to quickly shake your head to being you back to reality

"It's lunch for the workers, they fixed my house and are fixing houses for others, so I wanted to thank them." You say, causing Diane's smile to grow.

"You're so thoughtful (y/n)!" She says, grabbing your hand with her free hand and running over to the group of moslty men working on the houses.

Diane called to them, but for a moment, you heard nothing, your eyes focused on your joined hands as she pulled you towards the group. Her hands were rough, compared to your own hands. You were once again pulled back to reality as she looked to you, and you felt your heart pounding

"(Y/n) made food for everyone!" She says, which made the group cheer and stop work to come gather.

You didn't like all the eyes on you, and simply gave a smile and a wave as she passed out food for each individual. In the end, there was none left, and Diane let out a whine

"Aw man! I wanted to try some of your cooking (y/n)!" She whined as she puffed out her cheeks a bit, looking at the basket disappointed. You couldn't help but let a small laugh slip out, only to notice Diane's cheeks turning a little pink. Or..did you imagine that? You had to of imagined it, right?

Diane turned to you, a hopeful look on her face, her cheeks burning

"(Y/n)?" She asks shyly, kicking a rock gently as she clasped her hands behind her back, holding your basket behind her. You couldn't help but want to squeal. She's so cute oh my gosh!

"Yes Diane?" You replied, your voice giving a small crack, your own cheeks heating up slightly.

"..will you cook lunch for me?" She asks hopefully, looking up at you, her head lowered in embarrassment.

"Of course, Diane, why wouldn't I?" You ask, puzzled as to why she was acting this way.

Could it be...? No. It couldn't..she liked someone else. Plus, she had plenty of options, King and Howzer liked her alot, and you weren't even sure Diane was into girls. Even if she was, why you? You're just an ordinary human, sure you liked to help out, and tried your best to help everyone during the battle by treating wounds, but that's all you could do.

Diane seemed to get more red, her face now matching the color of her cute dress, which made your heart soar.

"I don't mean...I...I mean.." she struggled to find the words, then looked up at you

"Just you and I." She says, her gaze flickering back to the ground.

"..what are you trying to get at, Diane?" You ask softly, taking a step towards her hesitantly as she looked like she wanted to cry.

"L-like...a date" she almost whispered, but you heard it. Clear as day. 'like a date'. You wanted to scream.

"A date???" You repeated, your brain trying to process everything.

Soon, your face was burning as well, and you couldn't help but smile wide

"Of course Diane. I would love to." You say, trying to remain confident in your words to reassure the girl. Her eyes lit up, and she let out a happy noise and jumped in the air, hugging you and nearly knocking you to the ground in an almost bone crushing hug. She was strong, but she was aware of her strength, and was very careful with you.

You let out a small laugh and hugged her back, your faces both bright red. You eventually parted the hug, and headed to your house and made her lunch, spending the entire day together, taking her shopping in the rebuilt part of the city. It was a wonderful day, and at the end of the night as you went to walk into your house, she stopped you and kisses your cheek, before running off, giggling.

NEW WEEK, NEW RECS! START SENDING YOUR FAVORITE FANDOM CREATIONS FROM THIS WEEK IN FOR ME TO QUEUE UP FOR FRIDAY!

The goal of Fandom Friday: provide a place where people can shout-out their favorite creators from the week, whether it's a piece of fan art that made you smile or a fanfic that moved you. Drop a link to your favorite creations this week into my ask box along with what you loved about it, and I will give them a shout! It doesn't have to be Star Wars either! If it's on another website (AO3, Twitter, etc.), please be sure to state that as well.

This happens each week, so don't feel like you've got to get out everything in one week. Just keep track of them throughout the week or send me an ask whenever you find something, and I'll drop them all on Fridays (or throughout the weekend if I get a lot). You may submit for this week until THURSDAY MORNING. Anything received after that will roll to the next week. A summary of the weeks' recs will get added onto this post on Saturday, so check back here for all of the awesome fics and art! And be sure to go give the creations on that list some love (and don't just share the ask responses I put out).

This week's submissions will start posting on Friday, July 21.

Rules and additional details under the cut! PLEASE make sure you read the rules before sending something in. If your submission violates any of the rules, I will delete it.

Rules:

Please send submissions to my ask box (sending them all to one place makes wrangling them easier each week). In your ask, please include the creator's handle, a link to their work/post (if links aren't working for the ask, please DM me them), and what you loved about it!

Please ensure the link is to the creator's original post and not your own reblog or repost of their work (if they're on another platform). The idea is to drive people to visit the creator's page!

The creation does not have to have been posted this week! It can be something older. Also, don't worry about whether or not a rec is a repeat from a prior week. Just looking to celebrate things that made an impression on you this week, whether you've seen it before or not!

NSFW is alright! Just make sure you note it in the ask so I can flag appropriately! Since I'm including 18+ material, minors may not participate. 18+ posts will be tagged with NSFT/lemon/lemony lemon (trying to cover all my bases).

NO incest, underage, cl*necest, master/padawan (or similar power dynamics), dub-con/non-con/rape. Also, no H*rry Potter. There are a few others that I also won't share due to my discomfort with them (i.e., R*xsoka), so if you're not sure, ask.

If your rec involves spoilers from a show that's currently running, please include that info in the ask so I can tag it appropriately (I will normally tag a few different ways, but I always use #<show title> spoilers if you need to filter, for example: Andor spoilers will be tagged #Andor Spoilers). I will stop tagging spoilers two weeks after the show stops airing.

You can submit GIF sets or edits, but please ensure you are submitting from the blog that actually created them. Wanted to add that caution since there's been a lot of people stealing/reposting GIFs and edits in particular recently. So just be cautious.

Try to avoid commentary in your ask that might make others feel bad ("the only person who knows how to write XXX correctly..."). It's important to be able to appreciate creators without making others feel bad, so let's try to keep the commentary complimentary without being off-putting for other creators.

Self recommendations are allowed and encouraged! Shout out your own hard work! You deserve the recognition!

*Rules subject to change so PLEASE make sure you read them before sending something in. If your submission violates any of the rules, I will delete it.

**If you have any questions about any of the rules, don't hesitate to DM me!

In addition to sending me asks, I highly encourage you to go either leave a comment on and/or reblog someone’s work (tag me or use the #Fandom Friday tag if you do!). Let’s get the interaction back up on this website and show the creators that work so hard on their stuff some love!

Stars Beyond Number - Chapter 11

Between the Motion and the Act

Rating: M - Minors DNI

Pairings: Echo x Riyo Chuchi; Gregor x OFC Cerra Kilian

Wordcount: 4.2k

Warnings and tags: fluff; a sneaky OT reference (literally wrote a whole scene just so I could make that joke); some angst; SMUT; oral sex; Echo x Riyo is GO!!!

Suggested Listening:

Summary: The team plans for Balmorra; Echo commences diplomatic negotiations with the senator from Pantora.

A/N: This story shares continuity with Martyrs and Kings and "Do It Again," but all three fics can be read as stand-alones.

Between the idea and the reality

Between the motion and the act

Falls the Shadow

—T. S. Eliot, “The Hollow Men”

cerulean-senator: Would you rather fight one rancor-sized tooka or ten tooka-sized rancors?

Echo grinned as he typed a response.

ur-fav-cyborg:That’s easy. I’ve already encountered a rancor-sized rancor, so I know the secret to defeating them. They’re hierarchical by nature, so I would rather fight the ten tooka-sized rancors and set them against each other. When they established which one was the alpha, I would challenge it for supremacy. My turn: would you rather eat nothing but dessert for a week, or no dessert for a year?

There was a pause as he waited for Riyo to respond. Rex and Cerra were debating the technical specifications they needed in their ship for the Balmorra mission. Echo and Rex had determined that their best chance of success was to extract Howzer when he was being transported. Rex’s mysterious contact hadn’t known exactly when that would happen, but had said it was inevitable. They’d pored over blueprints of the Gozanti-class cruisers that were being used as prisoner transports as they’d formulated a battle plan.

“What about a leech vessel?” Cerra asked. “Two points of entry.”

“That… could work,” Echo said. “Dock with the main vessel as a diversion, and then breach the hull with the leech.”

“We’d have to divide our forces,” Rex said.

“The pilot would have to stay with the ship anyway,” Echo pointed out. “Gregor can keep their troops occupied at the docking port while the extraction team boards from the leech.”

“Flank ‘em and spank ‘em,” Cerra said, tapping her beer bottle against Rex’s.

“Always so eloquent,” Rex teased as he took a swig.

“I learned from the best, and he learned from you,” she said with a grin. “You’re like my tactical granddaddy.”

“I thought you said I was a youngling,” Rex said.

“Granddaddy is a state of mind,” Cerra shrugged.

She slouched on the sofa with her boot-clad feet propped on the holotable, and Echo had the brief, tangential thought that Tech would have an aneurysm if he could witness it.

His comm chirped, and he checked the message immediately.

cerulean-senator: Wait, when did you fight a rancor? That sounds like a story worth hearing.

ur-fav-cyborg: I’ll tell you all about it next time I see you. Now quit stalling and answer the question, Riyo.

The reply was immediate and indignant.

cerulean-senator: I wasn’t stalling! I was thinking. I do like dessert, but a week of nothing but sugar might put me in a coma. I’ll have to say I’d rather go a year without desserts. Would you rather kiss a Gungan or a Wookiee?

ur-fav-cyborg: That depends. Are we talking a mouth kiss, or just a quick peck on the cheek?

cerulean-senator: Full-on mouth kiss, with tongue.

ur-fav-cyborg: In that case, I’d rather kiss a Pantoran.

cerulean-senator: You’re not going to charm your way out of answering the question, trooper.

ur-fav-cyborg: Worth a shot. Fine. Assuming consent from all parties involved, and given the knowledge that Gungan tongues are nearly a meter in length—which would present a high probability of death by choking—and considering that I’ve met some very nice Wookiees who almost certainly wouldn’t rip off my one remaining arm, I would rather kiss a Wookiee. But only if the Pantoran is unavailable.

“Care to share the joke, Echo?” Rex asked.

“Sorry, sir,” Echo said, stashing his commlink away.

“You know, we’re not in the GAR any more,” Cerra said. “He’s allowed to check his comm in meetings.”

Echo glanced quickly at Cerra, surprised that she had defended him. Rex sighed, and Echo immediately felt guilty.

“You're right,” Rex admitted. “Old habits are hard to break, but what are we fighting for if not the right to live our lives as we choose?”

Echo wasn’t sure what to say. Freedom was a complex thing to navigate when he’d been trained his entire life to follow orders. It was different with the Batch; they had always had a more relaxed dynamic, and all the members were accustomed to speaking their minds freely, even if the ultimate command decision defaulted to Hunter. But this was Rex, who’d saved Echo’s life more times than he could count, who’d been his longest-standing commanding officer, who’d hand picked him to join the 501st, who’d recommended him for ARC training, who’d believed in him against all odds, who’d fought to bring him back from Skako Minor when everyone else had written him off. Every instinct Echo possessed screamed for him to obey the captain.

Suddenly, he recalled something he’d overheard Cerra tell Rex. “He trusts you so much that he’ll do whatever you order.” Gregor had said something similar when he confronted Rex after the disastrous mission to 79’s. There was something about Rex that inspired absolute loyalty in his soldiers. The problem was, they weren’t just soldiers any more. Perhaps Riyo was right, and they had always been more than that.

Cerra stood and stretched. “I don’t know about you boys, but I could use some food.”

“Good luck finding anything,” Rex said as she dug through the kitchen cabinets. “I cleared out the conservator last night.”

“We have ration bars,” Cerra said. “I can’t wait ‘til Gregor gets back so we can eat some decent food again. Want anything, Echo?”

“I could eat,” Echo admitted. “Are we finished here?”

“I’ve got what I need to start looking for a ship,” Cerra said. “Rex?”

“We’ve done as much as we can with our current intel,” Rex replied.

Cerra tossed them each a ration bar, and when Echo’s comm chirped again, he checked it, careful to maintain a neutral expression.

cerulean-senator: Solid reasoning all around, but now I have blackmail material in the form of written proof that you want to kiss a Wookiee.

ur-fav-cyborg: Only under duress. Now it’s my turn: would you rather be too hot or too cold?

cerulean-senator: That’s easy! I would rather be too cold. You can do all sorts of fun things to warm up.

ur-fav-cyborg: Such as?

cerulean-senator: Drinking caf, wearing cozy sweaters, snuggling in front of a fireplace—and other things.

ur-fav-cyborg: What kinds of other things?

cerulean-senator: That’s for me to know and you to find out. My turn: would you rather have dinner with me or breakfast with me?”

ur-fav-cyborg: Both.

cerulean-senator: Great! When is a good day for you?

Echo choked on his ration bar and dropped his comlink. It skittered across the floor and came to rest against Rex’s boot. The captain arched one eyebrow and handed the comlink back to Echo without a word. Echo took it and sent a quick response.

ur-fav-cyborg: After the next mission?

cerulean-senator: Sounds perfect. I’ll meet you there and we’ll see where the night takes us.

Echo smiled and tucked his comlink away. Turning to Cerra, he asked, “Is your hand healed enough to spar?”

She nodded. “I’ve been wanting to practice those moves you showed me. Would you rather be my partner or my coach?”

“I’ll coach if Rex will partner with you,” Echo said. “Sparring is a little tricky with my prosthetics.”

“Rex?” Cerra asked.

“Only if you go easy on me,” Rex replied. “Remember, I’m a grandfather.”

Cerra snorted. “Sure, grandpa. When I fail to land a single hit on you, it’ll be because I’m going easy on an old man.”

Despite her self-deprecation, Echo found that Cerra was a decently competent fighter. It was true that she was far outmatched by Rex, but most opponents she was likely to face would not be genetically engineered supersoldiers with years of combat experience. She had good form and technique, and she took direction well. With a blaster and a few modifications to her armor, Echo suspected that she would be able to hold her own against a wide range of adversaries.

Just as Echo was contemplating the best armor mods to augment Cerra’s reach and upper body strength, Rex took her to the ground and pinned her. She tapped out immediately, contradicting Rex’s claim that she didn’t know how to back down from a fight. Rex stood and pulled her to her feet.

“Again,” Echo ordered. “And Cerra, remember what I showed you.”

She nodded and snapped into a fighting stance at once. Rex tested her defenses a few times, light punches to see how well she could block. He moved with rigid control, never taking it too far and risking hurting her. It was very different from the way Echo had been trained. ARC trooper training had been brutal and no-holds-barred. There was a very good reason that so few clones successfully passed, and that was that the training was extreme even by the Kaminoans’ standards. A nat-born wouldn’t just fail; they would very likely be killed or permanently debilitated.

“Attack, Cerra,” Echo ordered. “You can’t just dance around him all day.”

She hesitated, and Rex saw his opening. His fist darted past her block and tapped her jaw. It wasn’t hard enough to hurt, just to get her attention. She tightened her stance and returned the hit, albeit too slowly. Rex blocked her effortlessly.

“Like I showed you, Cerra,” Echo said. “Do it.”

“I don’t want to hurt him,” she panted.

Rex smirked. “You won’t.”

“That’s not Rex,” Echo snapped sternly. “That’s an enemy. Take him down, now. He’s going to hurt you. He’s going to hurt Tup.”

Cerra gasped and dropped her fists. Rex struck just as Cerra turned, his blow connecting much harder than he’d intended. Cerra staggered backward.

“Kark!” Rex exclaimed. “Are you all right?”

Cerra’s large, wounded eyes weren’t looking at Rex, though. She stared at Echo instead. A trickle of blood dripped from her lip, but she didn’t seem to notice.

“How do you know that name?” she asked, her voice shaken.

“You called Fireball Tup the other night,” Echo said, taken aback. “I thought it was a friend of yours.”

Cerra spun and stalked out of the sparring ring, not stopping until the barracks door slid closed behind her. Echo turned to Rex, whose mouth was set in a grim line.

“Tup was Fives’s best friend after Umbara,” Rex said quietly. “The three of them were more than close. They were inseparable. Cerra thought of Tup as her little brother, and he was the first she lost. And a few days later, she lost Fives, too.”

“Kriff,” Echo breathed. “I had no idea.”

“She keeps to herself,” Rex said. “Probably more than she should.”

“Why?” Echo asked bluntly.

Rex sighed. “Cerra is a soldier, but she’s not like us clones. We’ve always had each other, even when we didn’t have anyone else. But Cerra’s family turned on her when she needed them most. It’s not easy for her to trust.”

“I thought she told Gregor everything,” Echo said.

“She doesn’t even tell me everything,” Rex replied enigmatically.

Echo remembered now that even Gregor had not recognized Tup’s name the night that Cerra mistakenly called Fireball by it.

“Kriff,” he said again. “I need to apologize.”

“Better give her some space,” Rex counseled. “If I know Cerra, she’d rather just pretend none of this happened. She’ll be all right.”

“That doesn’t seem like the healthiest way of dealing with it,” Echo said.

“Do you want to be the one who tells her that?” Rex asked.

“Fair point,” Echo acknowledged. “Maybe I’ll take the speeder bike and get some air.”

Echo strode out of the garage and hopped onto the speeder bike, riding without paying much attention to where he was going. He avoided the Federal District, and after a while, he piloted the bike to the top of a ramshackle skyscraper. Maybe sometime long ago it had been a beautiful and prestigious edifice like 500 Republica, but now it was crumbling. Still, it had an expansive view of the city and the setting sun, and he parked the speeder on the roof after a quick recon determined it to be abandoned.

He stared out across the city of trillions, hating how alone he felt. He couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to Fives’s death than Rex had told him. They were soldiers. Cerra was a soldier. They were accustomed to losing people—it hurt like hell, but they knew the risks. What had happened to carve that deep well of pain in Cerra’s eyes? What was Rex not telling him? On impulse, he holocommed Riyo.

“Hello, Echo,” she said with a smile. “This is a nice surprise.”

“Is this a good time?”

“Yes,” she said. “I’m done with work for the day, and I’ve just finished eating dinner. I’m all yours for as long as you want me. Is everything all right?”

Kriff, she was pretty. Her full lips curved in an alluring smile, and the sparkle in her golden eyes was visible even through the shaky hologram.

“Yes,” he said. “Everything is fine. I just wanted to see you.”

“I didn’t think you got many opportunities to be alone,” she said.

“I don’t, but I needed some air. Cerra and Rex are back at the garage.”

“And where are you?” she asked.

“I’m not sure,” he frowned. “On top of some abandoned building in a part of the city where I would never bring you.”

“Is that safe?” she asked, concerned.

“I’m not worried,” he said.

“I’m a little worried,” she said. “Why don’t you come to my flat?”

Echo was startled. “Are you sure?”

“There’s a private landing platform that accesses my suite at the Pantoran embassy. I’m sending the coordinates and access code now.”

“In that case, I’ll see you soon,” he said.

Riyo paced in her suite, unaccountably nervous. It was strange; she could easily give a speech to tens of thousands of senators and dignitaries, but as she checked and rechecked her reflection to make sure her hair wasn’t doing anything strange and she didn’t have anything stuck in her teeth, her body filled with jittery energy. She smoothed her hands over her blouse, trying to brush away some of the wrinkles it had accumulated after a long day of committee sessions and meetings with constituents.

The door chimed. Not the main door; the private entrance at the back of her suite. A quick glance at the security holocams revealed Echo, helmeted and in full armor. Riyo’s heart lodged in her throat as she hurried to admit him. The door slid open, and Echo removed his helmet.

“Hello,” she said, feeling suddenly shy.

“Ma’am,” he said with a formal nod, and she realized this was just as awkward for him. Somehow, that eased her nerves.

“Please come in,” she said.

He glanced quickly around the room as he entered, and she wondered if he was looking for threats. It must be practically instinctive for him by now. His eyes came to rest on her, and he gave her a small, gentle smile that sent warmth tingling through her.

“Thank you for the invitation,” he said.

“Of—of course!” she stammered. “You seemed like you might need to talk to a friend.”

“Is that what we are?” he asked. “Friends?”

“I hope so,” she said.

“I hope so, too,” he replied. “But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t hope we could also be more. Is that something you want?”

There was something refreshing about his directness, accustomed as she was to the doublespeak and prevarication of her fellow politicians.

“I think you know the answer,” she said.

“I need to hear you say it,” he replied, taking a step closer to her.

Oh, stars, he smells amazing.

“Yes,” she whispered.

He raised his hand to her face, trailing his fingers along her jaw, brushing his thumb over her lips. She swallowed thickly as her breath became shallow and fast. She closed the space between them, tilting her head back to meet his gaze.

“You have the most beautiful eyes,” she said softly.

He slid his hand to the back of her head, fingers threading into her hair, and then he kissed her. His lips were soft and warm, and Riyo let out a quiet, involuntary moan as his tongue brushed against hers. She felt as though she were drowning in him—his taste, his scent, his touch. When their lips parted, she gradually became aware that her arms had wrapped around him, seemingly of their own volition, as she had explored his armored body with her hands. He was holding her, too, his prosthetic arm wrapped firmly around her waist, and he traced a path down her throat with his thumb.

His gaze roamed over her, taking in the way her lips parted and her breasts rose and fell with each quick breath, the way her wide eyes gave away too many of her thoughts, and she felt vulnerable, exposed, as though he had laid bare her entire soul. Look away, her mind begged. Don’t let him see. It’s too soon for you to feel this way. What if he thinks you’re a pathetic little girl with a silly crush? He could destroy you, grind your heart beneath his heel and leave you a mangled, bloody mess.

But somehow, as she looked deeply into his eyes, she knew that he would never, ever do that. That he would carry her heart as carefully and securely as he did his own. And so, she traced her hands lightly down his chest plate until she reached the belt that held up his heavy kama and unbuckled it with a deft movement. Next, she slipped her fingers beneath the shoulder straps of his cuirass until she found the clips that held the two pieces together, and one by one, she teased them open. She removed the plates carefully, setting them aside, and then stroked her palms down his chest and abdomen, feeling the firm, wiry muscles beneath the dark red fabric of his jacket.

He watched her with undisguised hunger, and when she stood on her tiptoes to lick the bit of exposed skin at the top of his neck, he snapped, pulling her body tightly against his and crushing his lips to hers in a ravenous kiss. He walked her backward until she pressed against the wall, and when he rocked his hips against her, she could feel the rigid length of his cock through their clothing.

“Oh, stars,” she panted, breaking away from his lips. But he didn’t end the kiss; he worked his mouth across her jaw and down her throat, licking and biting and sucking gently on her skin, and the sounds she made would have embarrassed her if she hadn’t been so aroused. “Don’t stop, Echo, please don’t stop.”

She felt his hand cup her breast and dimly wondered when he’d unbuttoned and slipped her blouse off her arms, but it didn’t matter, because he was making his way down her chest with that incredible, talented mouth of his, and then he was kneeling in front of her, and when he sucked her nipple into his mouth, her legs nearly gave out. She tugged at his pauldrons until they clattered to the floor, and then she felt the waistband of her trousers loosen and the fabric slide down her hips, leaving her utterly exposed.

Echo paused long enough to bite down on the fingertip of his glove and yank it off, and then Riyo felt the smooth, glorious slide of his skin against hers as he grasped her inner thigh and glided his hand upwards. She cradled his head in her hands as he sucked on her breasts, and when his fingertips brushed over her sex and felt her slippery arousal, he groaned against her.

“Fuck, Riyo,” he said, sitting back on his heels to take in the sight of her. “Look how beautiful you are. So, so kriffing beautiful.”

He leaned forward until he was nearly pressed against her, but before he touched her, he raised his eyes to her face.

“Is this all right?” he asked, his honey-gold eyes wide and serious.

“Yes, please yes,” she said. “Please, Echo, I need you to—oohh—”

Her brain skidded to a halt and took her power of speech with it as Echo slid his tongue into her, latching his lips over her cunt.

“Fuck!” she gasped, her voice barely a breath. “Gods, fuck, I can’t—”

He dropped lower and leaned forward, stroking his scomplink up the inside of her calf and encouraging her to drape her leg over him. His height made it a little difficult for her to reach, but once Riyo rested her thigh on his shoulder, he moved in between her legs, his tongue diving deep inside her as his thumb traced firm circles around her clit, not pressing directly on the sensitive flesh, but finding the perfect rhythm to drive all the thoughts from her head. Quiet grunts of pleasure escaped him, as though he had never tasted anything so delicious in his life.

Riyo was less controlled than Echo. She tried to keep her voice down so as not to draw the attention of the guards outside the doors of her suite, but she couldn’t suppress her whimpers and gasps as Echo devoured her like a man starved. Her leg trembled as pleasure swirled tightly through her body. Echo flattened his palm against her belly and slid up her body to cup her breast, squeezing gently and rolling her nipple between his thumb and forefinger. He gazed worshipfully up at her from between her thighs, and she locked eyes with him as the pressure in her abdomen finally snapped and sent her hurtling into ecstasy.

Her body crumpled, but Echo caught her, clamping his hand firmly over her mouth to muffle her cries, even as he wrecked her over and over with his mouth. At last, when he had wrung every last shuddering drop of pleasure out of her body, he lowered her onto his lap and wrapped her comfortingly in his arms, stroking his hand gently across her skin.

“That’s it, love,” he whispered in her ear. “That’s my lovely girl. You look so beautiful like this. You make such pretty sounds when you come. I hated to stop you. I wanted to hear every little moan and gasp and scream. Next time, love.”

Riyo shook her head. “Bedroom,” she gasped. “Soundproof.”

Echo smiled. “Lead the way.”

Cerra didn’t look up when the barracks door opened. The mattress shifted as Rex sat next to her on the bunk. He leaned close to peer at the holo she held.

“Was that at 79’s?” he asked.

“Yeah,” she said.

In the picture, Tup’s long hair tumbled around his shoulders as Cerra hugged him close. They were both laughing uproariously as Fives made a crude gesture at the holocam. She remembered the night with crystal clarity, even though they’d all just done a round of shots with Jesse and Kix when Kix snapped the holo. Jesse had been teasing Tup about his non-regulation hair and had threatened to shave it off next time Tup fell asleep.

“Never!” Cerra had exclaimed, shrieking with laughter as she wrapped her arms around Tup’s head. “I’ll protect you, Tup!”

“Kix took this about five minutes before we all got bounced for being too loud,” Cerra said. “I’m honestly surprised we didn’t end up in the Corrie drunk tank.”

Rex cupped Cerra’s chin in his hand and tilted her face toward him. “Do you need bacta?”

She shook her head. “I’ll be fine.”

He leaned in to confirm that she wasn’t seriously injured then stroked along her jaw. “You’re going to have a nice bruise. Gregor is going to kick my ass when he finds out how you got it.”

“I’ll tell him I had an argument with the speeder, and the speeder won,” she said. “It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve dropped a vehicle on myself.”

“I’m sorry I hit you,” he said.

“No need to apologize, Rex. I know it was an accident.”

“Echo didn’t mean to hurt you, either,” Rex said in a low voice.

“I know,” she said. “It’s fine. I just wasn’t expecting it. I’ll talk to him in a bit.”

“He took the bike out for a spin,” he said. “It’s just us for now.”

“Just like the bad old days,” she said with the faintest flicker of humor. “Maker forbid.”

Rex had slept like the dead for more than half a day, but he still looked exhausted: the kind of bone-deep weariness that could never be cured by a mere few hours of extra rest. She wondered if she looked like that, too. His thigh felt reassuringly warm and solid as it pressed along her leg, and she shifted a little, seeking the comfort of his touch.

His breath ghosted softly across her skin, and she swayed unconsciously closer to him, close enough to see the individual hairs of the stubble on his jaw, close enough to smell the soap they all shared on his skin. His thumb traced back down her cheek, and when she raised her eyes, his gaze was riveted to her mouth.

“I’m not him, Cerra,” he whispered.

“I know,” she said quietly. “And I’m not her.”

At last, Rex dragged his eyes away from her mouth and shot her a rueful smile. “Quite a pair, aren’t we?”

She tried and failed to return his smile, then closed her eyes as he dropped his forehead to rest against hers.

“Rex?” she asked without opening her eyes.

“Hmm?”

“Do you ever think about giving up?”

“Every day,” he said. “You?”

“Every day.”

“Do you think you will?” he asked.

“Never.”

Author’s Note: Thank you so much @animecrazysworld for requesting again! I'll try to get through all of your other requests once I have the time and motivation, so please enjoy this one while you wait for the rest of them! Also, sorry it takes so long to get to the point! I really wanted to give Y/N some kind of backstory before we'd get into the actual request. But if anyone doesn't feel like reading all that, go down to the highlighted part in red, which will be where the official part of the request will be. And lastly, go ahead and check out my masterlist if you want to request anything yourself, thank you and enjoy!❤

A Cranky Sleeper - King x Little Sister!Reader Headcanons

🐻 You being the middle child out of the three fairies never really bothered to act like your older twin brother or younger sister, like royalty.

🐻 Instead you were laid back and easy-going, disinterested in the problems you and your siblings faced when being royalty. Because of that, you would often spend time with your subjects and Helbram. Acting like a regular fairy like the rest, just messing around, which would often lead to your subjects, especially the younger ones forgetting just how high your position actually was.

🐻 So when 700 years ago Harlequin left to look for Helbram and the others and hasn't returned since. You took up the role of The Fairy Queen, much to your dismay.

🐻 Even with your latest role, Elaine was the one that was acting more like a Queen than you. The blond would always deal with the things you were supposed to do, for you. The both of you knew you weren't fit for the role, but even with all of these difficulties your sister and subjects still loved you to bits.

🐻 To make it up to everyone for being a good-for-nothing Queen, you decided to instead chill right next to the borders of the Fairy King's Forest and become its protector.

🐻 Surprisingly you were immensely effective in your newfound role. Even if you were known for being the most easy-going and laid-back fairy around, everyone knew to never disturb you when you were sleeping. Slumbering is something you took exceedingly seriously for whatever reason. Everyone knew that you were a light sleeper, like, an extremely light sleeper. Waking you up from it would lead to huge consequences depending on who would be unlucky enough to disturb you from your snooze.

🐻 But this kind of information wasn't known to those living outside of the Fairy King's Forest. So whenever you felt bored just sitting on your pillow just watching your surroundings, you'd fall asleep. And unfortunately for those various armies and random people that showed up to steal a sip from the Fountain of Youth, they'd always wake you up. Each of their invasions would always lead to you becoming a demon straight out of hell chasing them away with your Chastiefol.

🐻 But even after all of that, you never actually hated humans like the rest of the fairies and your siblings. Since you and Helbram often hang out when he was still around, that lead to you interacting with humans as well. And your opinion of them is the same as with every other creature in Britannia: there are good ones and there are bad ones, that's it.

🐻 That's why Ban was probably the first human alive you didn't automatically blast away when you were woken up. Your angry mode would immediately change to the one of panic when you felt an unknown presence in the forest and the strong winds coming from the top of the Sacred Tree.

🐻 When you flew up there to aid your younger sister with your spear ready to launch, you didn't immediately attack. Stunned to see your sibling chatting with a human like it's a normal everyday thing. That's when Elaine introduced you to your soon-to-be brother-in-law and explained the situation to you.

🐻 And immediately after that, you and Ban became instant best friends. Ban made you remember just how fun being an active person was, the both of you could pull so many pranks in an hour it was concerning. Ban was the first person outside of your brother to share the love of sleeping with you, the two of you would often nap together after finishing pranking Elaine or your subjects. You two were just so much a-like it was impossible to separate the two of you. Ban was the first human you actually felt a connection with and would go as far as to call him your platonic soulmate.

🐻 But then the 7th day came. The day that almost killed you. The day that you failed to protect your family, your subjects, and your home. You promised Elaine right before she died that you'd look after Ban for her and find Harlequin and tell him everything personally. But even still, you couldn't leave the place you once called home. Telling Ban that he has to leave without you and that you will find him and join him on his journey once you were done rebuilding the Fairy King's Forest.

🐻 200 years later and you still weren't close to rebuilding your home. The only things that you managed to achieve during those years were finding fairies that managed to survive the catastrophe and planting a seed of what was left of the Fairy King's Forest. During that time you didn't change much as a person, the only thing different about you is that you took your role of Queen seriously this time. But once King came back, you placed Gerheade as a temporary replacement and joined your brother on his adventures with The Seven Deadly Sins.

🐻 You would've stayed if it weren't for the fact that Gerhaede basically forced you to go with him because she knew deep down you really wanted this. You told Harlequin everything that happened and he told you everything that happened to him. You never once hold a grudge, thinking something must have happened to him not to be there for you, Elaine, your subjects, and your home. And honestly, the experience only made you guys closer, something that was very much needed after so many decades apart.

🐻 You didn't become a sin, obviously, King would never allow it. Being the only family that survived, he became extremely protective of you. Even if your powers were equally matched, him being The Fairy King made him slightly stronger either way. But even still you being a sin didn't interest you at all, the only thing you contributed to the group was being occasional backup when needed or holding down the fort.

🐻 The Sins did consider you a close friend though. Merlin had a strong fondness for you because you basically let her run tests on you as much as she liked because you genially did not care. There's also the fact that you kind of reminded her of Meliodas and she could actually relax around you without feeling guilty about it. As for you, you really respected the mage for her knowledge and just found her fascinating to be around. Plus she's the calmest and the quietest out of the group, so you bet you'd be usually found sleeping inside her lab while she worked and not needing your assistance that day.

🐻 You loved spending time with Gowther because of how funny you found him being clueless about emotions, finding his lack of understanding adorable and interesting to watch unfold. Gowther had taken a strong liking to you because you didn't particularly mind his lack of knowledge and the things he said. He found it easier to understand some parts of emotion just because of how patient you were with him and easy to get along with. Gowther would also often practice with you talking like a "normal" person would, you were honestly a great partner to practice with because rarely take anything seriously, but during those exercises, you took them as seriously as he did because you knew how important this is for him.

🐻 Escanor appreciated you listening to his poetry, even though at first you made him insecure about it since you'd always fall asleep whenever he read it to you. You had to explain to him that his poetry was just so soothing to listen to, that you never had nightmares whenever he read on to you. And in a strange way, Escanor for the first time felt appreciated by someone when it comes to his poetry, so it became a mutual agreement between you two that he'd always read you some to help you fall asleep with a smile on your face because of how safe you felt in the moment.

🐻 You had a particular soft spot for Diane because she basically took care of and saved your brother's life. You appreciated how Diane would instantly talk quieter whenever she knew you were sleeping. She was also the only person that you did not mind doing any physical activities with, you'd show her and teach her various fairy dances just so she wouldn't feel bored whenever she couldn't enter the castle like the other sins. Diane instantly took a liking to you when you expressed that you could care less what size or race she was, she doesn't get that a lot so that was an instant win in her book. She also really appreciated your viewpoints were mostly the same as hers, it made her less insecure and actually more accepting of the life she choose for herself.

🐻 You and Meliodas were also basically platonic soulmates, not only were both of you laid-back and easy-going, but you understood each other on a deeper level. Both of you knew there was something much darker under the surface the two of you held, but neither of you ever wanted to talk about it. Instead, the two of you would show suitable gestures of support to the other person whenever you felt like the other needed it, and that was honestly enough for the both of you to consider each other close comrades. But when Elizabeth came into the picture? Oh boy did you become just as protective over her as Meliodas was. And the only reason was that she was basically the human version of Elaine in your eyes, so you definitely had a huge soft spot for her. And you being there for Elizabeth just as much Meliodas was made the guy love you even more, so much so that he often indulges himself in banters with King to let you become sin as well.

🐻 Which leads us all to now. After defeating Hendrickson, you and the sins basically had all the time in the world to chill for just a moment after everything that has happened.

🐻 After a notorious search for Hawk, everyone just kind of sulked around in the tavern after Meliodas announced he was the winner, much to everyone's dismay. You though were peacefully sleeping outside to the warm light that is called the sun. Unlike everyone else, you weren't partially bothered by the fact that you didn't win, only joining on their stupid quest because Elizabeth wanted to and you couldn't stand to watch her sad expression. That's why after everything was over you decided to take a nap to get some energy back into your system.

🐻 But during your little snooze a certain knight was watching you from the tavern right across from you. Howzer has such conflicting thoughts about you, it was annoying him to no end and frankly, he wanted to know more about you just so his mind would stop thinking about you whenever you were in his viewpoint. The two of you may have met each other in the battle of Vaizel, but you couldn't even call it an actual meeting. Let's just say he did acknowledge you from the stance in the crowd trying not to fall asleep, that definitely did not give him a good first impression, he was honestly insulted.

🐻 What changed his mind about you was seeing you fight in the fight of Liones. During your fight with Hendrickson, he definitely noticed a different side of you, an extremely dangerous and serious one. You looked like a completely different person to him, he was honestly intimidated and a little scared by how brutal and savage your attacks were, even if they didn't do much to Hendricksons demon Ash-Grey form. What mattered is that he saw this side of you that he thought someone like you definitely wouldn't have and he was instantly hooked on you, desperately wanting to get a better grasping of you.

🐻 He stared at you from his place against the door frame with an intense gaze, brows furred and with firm lips pressed in a thin line. Some would say he looked in deep thought, and others would say he was contemplating murdering you, and those were King's thoughts exactly once he noticed just who the knight was staring at this intensely.

🐻 "Just what do you think you're doing?"

🐻 Howzer snapped out of his gaze, startled by the fairy brunette suddenly appearing right in front of him laying on his pillow with an annoyed expression. Poor Howzer jumped back about to scream but the sound never came because the smaller male's hand slapped itself onto his mouth, immediately looking back with a terrified expression at the younger fairy behind him before sighing and looking back at the dark blond male with the same expression the appeared in front of him just seconds ago.

🐻 "What the hell man!? Why'd you cover my mouth like that!?"

🐻 It was then that King begin explaining his actions to a rather annoyed male. That reason was to obviously not wake you up, it was the last thing King wanted after such an exhausting day.

🐻 Howzer only giggled in response, surely such a lazy fairy like you would not react in such an immature way. He's seen you in battle before, yes. But he was dang sure that something like that wouldn't trigger a beast in you, after all, he did see your lazy side before and he assumed that it was going to be the same as last time, that is you not even acknowledging him in the slightest.

🐻 Ignoring King's desperate whispers, pleading him to turn right back around and maybe consider not committing suicide, Howzer marched right to the sleeping beauty that was still sleeping soundly asleep on her big floating pillow. He giggled under his breath when he was standing right next to your ear before standing on his tipping toes and yelling right in your ear.

🐻 Your eyes snapped right open, the startling feeling you felt as soon as you turned to the person that was now lying on the ground laughing his ass off, turned to immediate rage.

🐻 Howzer stopped laughing the second he felt a powerful aura that was coming from you. Looking up suddenly feeling scared for his life when he says your face a few inches away from his with the angriest expression he's ever seen. Glancing behind you only to see daggers and swords of various kinds and of course your Chastiefol pointing right at him. Howzer was frozen in place, too frightened to even move, too occupied with staring at the scariest expression he's ever seen.

🐻 "Run"

🐻 And that he did. Running and screaming like a little girl trying with all his might to avoid every attack to no avail, regretting not having his armor or any weapon with him to protect himself with. So the only other thing he thought of doing was screaming for help, peaking from the corner of his eye to see the sins, Elizabeth, Gilthunder, and Hawk just looking at him like he was the most fascinating thing in the world.

🐻 Diane and Ban, already drunk laughing their asses off to the point of crying. Gilthunder and Hawk were frozen in place in absolute fear by the sight alone. Meliodas was just sipping his booze with a deadpan expression, looking like it was an everyday thing for him, making no move to help in the slightest only letting out a chuckle when a weapon hit Howzer and made a funny noise because of it. Elizabeth on the other hand looked extremely concerned by the situation, trying her best to calm you down from her spot, yelling various things to make you stop. And then there was King, the smug bastard who was looking at the knight with the biggest shit-eating grin he's ever seen while giggling under his breath. Howzer's gaze was cut short though by you launching another dagger at him, screaming the highest note ever that could rival the opera.

🐻 After what felt like an attorney of endless torture, Howzer was currently sitting at one of the tables in the now-closed Boar Hat being healed by Elizabeth, looking at you from the other side of the room like you were some kind of ghost. It was at that moment Howzer made up his mind, he was definitely going to bug you again whether you wanted to or not, cause this man was now determined to have someone as powerful as you be his comrade! But next time he wasn't going to approach you while you were sleeping, not after what happened today, that's for sure!
