#i just LOVE THEM SO MUCH OKAY

[mari-writes]

I think about this photo of the BokuAka stage actors all the time.

They are just so perfect. And not just their appearance—look at their body language. Their expressions.

It's THEM!!! 😭🙌❤️❤️❤️

"Is this an offer, Louis? Have you come back to me, as lovers say?"

[the-starry-seas]

I was thinking about how exactly the Royal Squad came to join the family, because adopting five clone cadets isn't exactly an impulse decision, and like

Fox interrupting Breha's schedule and approaching her as his queen, not his wife, and asking her for several million credits. And she knows that something is up because he's calling her Your Majesty and using corporate-speak and swearing to find some way to repay her. And neither of them are idiots, she knows there's nothing he can do to bring back that kind of cash no matter what job he gets.

So Breha, obviously, has questions. Maybe a thought or two in the back of her mind that Fox might not know what a spam email is. Fox is generally very calm and even-tempered so she wants to know what's going on and why he needs so much money.

Fox says that Kamino is going to sell off everything they can to recoup losses from the latest batches of clones that they're no longer being paid for. He says most of them will be sold to slavers. He says the ones that can't be sold will be killed. He says none of them are more than five years old. He says there's ten thousand of them and he knows it will be expensive, but he could never live with himself if he didn't find a way to save at least some of them.

Breha is weeping long before he's finished. She's seen his scars, she's heard him wailing with terror from nightmares, she's felt him flinch when she touches him without warning. She loves him, but she would do anything to change his past. She will do anything to spare his little brothers from the life that can never stop haunting him. She thinks of darling Leia, two years old and safely at home with Bail doting on her every move, and is sick at the thought of any baby being treated in the way Fox just described.

She gives Fox carte blanche to bring home every last child. He falls to his knees and kisses her hands, thanking her in jumbled words and eyes shining with tears. She has no regrets for the financial havoc she's just caused herself and will never let him repay her.

Fox brings home ten thousand and five children. He snarls at anyone who comes near the youngest, holding the runt of the litter his every waking moment, his hands always gentle but his eyes glaring a lethal warning. The legion of social workers deployed to help find homes for the children, well, they unanimously decide that that's someone else's problem.

(There's a bright spot in all this hustle and drama. As it turns out, selling children into the Core worlds... it's just so incredibly unbelievably illegal. Breha gets back every credit that Fox spent, and a reward for alerting the police to what the Kaminoans are doing. Clones have human rights on Alderaan, after all.)

Eventually, after several months of several thousand people working twelve-hour days, all ten thousand clone cadets have been placed with loving families all across the planet. There's still welfare checks and such to be done, but for now, everyone is safe, happy, and in no more danger from the Kaminoans.

This leaves five.

Fox finally goes home to the palace, after being one of those people working twelve-hour shifts, and says, "I adopted some. I didn't mean to."

Breha says, "I heard you cold-cocked someone for suggesting an adopted family for them on their third day here."

Fox has to say he did, yes, and he didn't mean to do that either, and he already apologised several times.

Breha smiles and says that Bail's been excited to meet them for weeks now, and won't Fox come to dinner?

Fox does come to dinner, and brings his tubies, far too nervous at the idea of leaving them with anyone else, even Leia's nannies. It doesn't surprise him when Breha is the first to bring it up.

"Bail and I talked about it, and we understand if you want to be their only legal parent. We know there's complexities around their adoption. Whatever support you want from us, you'll have it."

Fox doesn't expect his eyes to blur with tears, or for them to feel like tears of joy.

"Leia's my daughter," he whispers, "and these are your sons."

"Helio is a family name on my side, you know," Bail mentions. He smiles at the tubie in Fox's lap, who giggles and waves back with his little hand clenched around a green bean. Then Bail's gaze meets Fox's, and the fatherly love already in his eyes... it takes Fox's breath away.

"My parents once said that they planned to name me Vidal if I was a boy," Breha adds, and takes a sip from her glass. "Though I suppose some of them might have names already?"

Fox shakes his head. There were so many other things to be busy with that he's just been calling them by the last two digits of their CT numbers.

"I wasn't sure what to call them," he admits, "but I was sure you would love them."

They beam at that, and Fox manages to smile back, despite how exhausted he is from the past few months. There's still so much waiting in the future, but for tonight, he can take the time to breathe.

He falls asleep quickly that night, with his head in Breha's lap and her hand in his hair, Kit already fast asleep and curled into his side, listening to Bail read a bedtime story to all six of their tubies.

So when the party started I had to explain to the barbarian that no, being an edgelord did not in fact make their character immune to fear effects. It’s a status condition, if she’s never been scared before congrats she is now and that’s probably worse

We’ve had a couple more run ins of her deciding no, she’s a super tough barbarian, she’s not freaked out by my creepy changeling twins

(They said the words “she’s probably seen similar” and I have been bugging them to make more creepy background characters ever since we’re having a ball)

And yes, this is the same player who will not speak to Lord and Lady Nichmar unless they are safely hidden behind a pillow 😇

The party don’t even know what these two are yet and frankly all their guesses are much tamer than what I actually did but they have no way to know that

I found their missing ingredient and apparently it was top energy

Don't mind me, just ugly crying about The Long Goodbye Job

[tigersiblingsau]

Oh boy, another AU I've made

Here are the basic points:

Moth/Tadpole/Hawk are born much earlier, a few days before Goldenflower has her kits

Tigerclaw finds out and wants them, he figures the more kits he has the better

He and Sasha fight, and it ends with him drowning her

He takes a very pregnant Goldenflower out of camp and to three kits. He admits they are his, and asks they are raised alongside their half siblings, since their mother died

Goldenflower is extremely angry, kitty divorces Tigerclaw, but takes the kits in, since they are innocent.

This is a little random but Tigerclaw changes Tadpole's name to Pantherkit. I found Tadpolekit hard to work, seen someone on a wc forum suggest it since it fits with leopard/tiger, and his uncle is lion sooo

Goldenflower and Mothkit grow very close!

Things happen like in canon, blah blah blah, Tigerclaw gets banished, but before he leaves, he turns to Goldenflower and whispers in her ear, "I drowned Sasha," and that breaks her a little bit

Now, Tigerclan forms and things are getting uncomfortable for Hawk and Bramble, so, as the ones looking like Tiger, they leave

Blah blah blah, once Tigerclan is disbanded, Hawk stays in River, and Bramble goes to Shadow

Hawk's plans go a little differently than in canon, he still fakes Moth's sign, but also fakes one for Bramble.

The plan is for him to lead Riverclan, Bramble to lead Shadowclan, Tawny or Panther to lead Thunderclan, and Moth to be the medicine cat to tie it all together. Sure, he didn't have a sibling to lead Windclan, but 3/4 of the clans run by your siblings is pretty good.

Not completely sure how everything pans out from there, but we'll get there!

Some other, random notes:

Goldenflower lives longer bc she is important

The new names are: Bramblepelt, Tawnytooth, Mothflower, and Pantherclaw

Tawny, Moth, Panther are besties with Leaf and Squirrel. Sorry not sorry.

The whole group knew about the three, and since Panther and Squirrel were so close, Panther pretended to be their father/her mate

Leaf and Moth became an awesome med cat duo, and Leaf was sort of trained by Moth too.

Willowshine is still Riverclan's Medcat, trained by Moth very quickly with some timeline adjustments

Panther and Squirrel do become actual mates, and have another litter after Alder/Spark

Bramble and Rowan are mates, with Rowan being trans and having Tiger/Dawn/Flame

I am leaning towards Pantherstar, but I could make Squirrelstar or Tawnystar work

Oh yeah and Bramble admits the sign was faked after Hawk's death and is shunned for a long time

There is so much I have to say!! But!!! This is all for now. It's very long, I know, I also don't care.

Thank you for your incredible head canons and for recognising ldpdl is a bitch and that is part of why lestat loves one. Also love how unsettling the bandmates find him, he's sooooo human (to other vampires!) He's delaying the tour by zoning out on a poster for 6 hours and lestat is just stroking his hair and reminiscing fondly over their early relationship, they would be such an unsettling couple to tour with and I'd love to hear more!

ahahaha so glad you enjoyed!!! Louis deserves to be a bitch okay, god knows Lestat has too much of an ego so if Louis doesn't intervene, he'll be stuck signing autographs for eternity

also YES he's so incredibly unsettling like honestly lestat (and by extension, louis) never really bother to hide their vampire nature around the band mates. they're chill, they're not gonna narc— and even if they did, what are they gonna say that doesn't just play into the entire vampire charade?

one time tough cookie caught them sharing blood in the dressing room and was just like "right on, guys" and that was that asdfghjskbfv
