#kix tanning

[starrylothcat]

just read your drabble with hunter and ASDFGHJKL; my brain has stopped working (in the best way possible) so if you're still taking asks from the prompt list then #5 with Fem reader and Rex?

Thank you for the wonderful prompt! 😈

I think my brain stopped while writing this one! I’ve received a handful of requests and been having a blast writing them. Feel free to send some in from the spicy prompts linked below.

“I’m literally naked on your bed and you’re talking about work?” with Rex x Fem!Reader

Warnings: NSFW, 18+. BJ inbound. 😏

Word Count: 1,000ish (oops haha)

Spicy Prompts

Rex sighed as he walked out of the refresher, just a towel wrapped around his delicious, tanned waist. You were in bed under the covers stark naked, waiting for him. 

Rex was continuing on with his story about Fives almost blowing their cover on a mission while digging in the drawer for his sleep clothes. “Mmmhmmm…” You said, removing the covers to show off your bare breasts, waiting for him to turn toward you. 

Rex turned and was looking right at you, still engrossed in telling his story. You raised your eyebrows, nodding, Rex still not getting the picture. Rex grumbled as he removed his towel, also stark naked, continuing his rant.

“And then, to make matters worse, General Skywalker changed our plan completely, the strategy I worked so hard on! It was flawless…” Rex rubbed his face with his hands, turning away from you again to continue digging through his drawers for sleep clothes.

“I’m sorry, Rex. Is there any way I can help you..destress?” You called seductively. 

You moved more of the sheets off you, now completely exposed, hoping when he turned to you again, he’d get the picture. 

You watched as he pulled on sleep pants and a shirt, muttering about changed plans and disobedient troopers.

 Rex turned, shaking his head, climbing into bed, laying down next to you. He was oblivious to the fact you were completely naked.

“Rex…”

Rex laid on his back, staring at the ceiling. “And THEN I get a kriffing comm from Fox that he arrested Jesse and Kix at 79s last night for being too rowdy. Where does Fox get off…?! You should have heard him, that smug di’kut…!” “Rex…”

“So now I have to deal with those reports, on top of figuring out punishment for Fives…” “Rex!”

Rex turned to you, his tired eyes meeting yours.

“I’m literally naked on your bed and you’re talking about work.” 

Rex blinked a few times, before you see his cheeks flush with embarrassment, realizing the situation. “Mesh’la…I’m so sorry…I…” Rex stuttered, finally taking in your form and what you obviously wanted.

You maneuvered on top of him. “Shh…it’s okay, love.” You whispered sweetly, pressing yourself down on his crotch, feeling him twitch beneath you. 

“It does sound like you’ve had a stressful day…” You kissed his jawline, your hands roaming underneath his sleepshirt, feeling his muscles flex beneath your fingertips. Rex let out a low sigh, his hands coming up to your hips, squeezing your soft flesh. “Can I help you forget?” Rex bucked up against you, his now  rigid cock rubbing against your already wet folds. “Please…I could use the distraction…” Rex rumbled. “Of course, Captain.” You purred, moving down his body until you were between his legs. You hooked your fingers in his sleep pants, tugging them down to his thighs, Rex lifting his hips so you could remove them completely.

Rex’s cock bounced out, hard and swollen, waiting for you and only you. 

You kissed the tip and Rex let out a long shaky breath. “You deal with so much…I’ll take care of you…”

You swirled your tongue over his velvety head, tasting his warm skin and precum that was already beading at the tip. 

Rex groaned, his hands clenching the sheets. You released his tip, kissed your way to the base of his cock, where you licked a long stripe back up to the top. 

Rex bucked, mumbling incoherent words as you did this a few times, coating his cock with your saliva, kissing up and down his shaft. “Please…I need…” Rex gasped, his knuckles white in the sheets. 

You hummed as you took his tip in your mouth again, gathering saliva and sucking. Rex let out a deep, guttural moan, his hands flying to your head as you took all of him in your mouth, feeling his head bump the back of your throat.

Rex cursed loudly, his fingers tangling in your hair, his grasp firm but gentle. You slowly bobbed up and down his cock, more curses leaving Rex’s mouth as you set a slow pace, gripping his thighs that were twitching under your hands. “Maker…mesh’la…I’m not going to…feel so good..” You glanced up at Rex, who was watching you with such an intensity you could feel your pussy clench as you continued to greedily slurp, hollowing out your cheeks and increasing your pace. 

You brought your hand to his base, beginning to work his hot cock with your hand and mouth.

Rex’s moans turned into desperate, deep growls in his chest as he could feel his release coming quickly.

Rex’s hands gripped your head harder, slightly tugging on your hair, his hips bucking up to match your pace. You could feel his cock swell in your mouth as his thrusts became erratic. “I’m going…I’m so close…justlikethat…”

The deliciously erotic sound of your slurping, your eyes looking back at him, and seeing your mouth stuffed with him sent him flying over the edge.

Rex let out a growling shout of your name, erupting inside your mouth, his eyes rolling back in his head. 

You could feel his hot release fill your mouth, swallowing every drop he gave you. You slowed your pace, but still sucked and swirled your tongue, letting him ride out your mouth until the end. You loved seeing him like this, completely undone and at your mercy. 

Rex patted at your head, your mouth now too much on his sensitive cock. You gave him one last lick at his tip, his body shivering at the overstimulation. 

You sat up, letting his cock out of your mouth with a soft pop, your lips swollen and shiny with saliva, some of his cum dripping down the side of your mouth. 

Rex was panting, still watching you intently, the sight of you igniting a new fire in his belly. “Still thinking about work?” You teased, licking the last bit of his cum off your lips. Rex sat up, caressing your face in a tender touch as he brought you in for a deep, loving kiss, tasting himself on your tongue.  “You’re too good to me…” He whispered against your mouth, his voice husky with desire. “Let me show you my thanks…”

Rex quickly and easily flipped you on your back, his mouth instantly on your aching cunt. He felt his cock hardening again as he lost himself between your legs, your cries and whimpers filling the room. 

He wouldn’t be thinking about work the rest of the night.

A/N: Rex deserves all the BJs.

[stardustandash]

been thinking all week about a Star Wars F1 AU and i gotta share my thoughts!! There's so many i need to put them below a cut but F1 star wars fans come with me to the sandbox and play!

and heads up this is definitely geared towards bad batch fans

99/ DF 99 - Drive Force 99 Livery: black and red Drivers: Tech and Crosshair Principle: Hunter Race Engineers: Cid & Rampart Chief Mechanic: Echo (former driver but a crash took 3 limbs and he’s dedicated to making the safest car on the track) Pit Crew: Wrecker Omega is a junior driver being mentored by Tech

One of the newer teams on the grid, over the three years they’ve been racing they’ve climbed their way to mid-front of the grid. Tech has one win under his belt, and both he and Crosshair have a handful of podiums.

Jedi - Sabertech Jedi Livery: White & Gold Drivers: Anakin and Obi-Wan Principle: Yoda Race Engineers: Rex & Cody

The most dominant team on the grid. They have the highest number of 1-2 finishes ever with these two drivers, and Anakin has been winning by several seconds most races for the last few years. Jedi is one of the oldest teams and Yoda has been team principal for 30 years.

Ghost - Ghost Rebel Racing Livery: Bright orange Drivers: Hera & Sabine Principle: Kallus Race Engineers: Kanan & Ezra Pit Crew: Zeb Team dog: Chopper!! (He frequently escapes the garage to try and bite other team’s pit crews & tires)

Hera is known as one of the best drivers on the grid and usually finishes in the points. The team overall however is solidly middle of the pack. Sabine has a new helmet design nearly every race, and it’s always her own design.

Mantis - Haxion Mantis Livery: Navy Drivers: Cal & Merrin Principle: Greez Race Engineers: Cere & Cordova BD-1 is Cal’s emotional support dog

Mantis debuted this year, and put themselves solidly in the middle of the pack. As well, both their drivers are rookies. A massive gamble, but it appears to be paying off. Cal has been close to top 3 several times, and Merrin’s driving style makes other drivers back off.

Padawan - Padawan ST Livery: sky blue Drivers: Ahsoka & Barriss Principle: Mace Windu Race Engineers: Plo & Luminara

The “junior” team for Jedi, these drivers are being groomed to one day take over the Jedi seats. As such, they are mid-front of the grid. Neither have their maiden win yet, and Ahsoka in particular is vocal about wanting to beat Anakin even as she looks up to him as a mentor.

Run - DP Smuggler’s Run Livery: Forest Green Drivers: Phee & Hondo Principle: Shep Race Engineers: Chewbacca & ??

This team has evolved a lot, and Shep is new as team principal and Phee is new as a driver to this team. Like Hera, Phee is a phenomenal driver despite the car being mid-back of the pack. On the track Phee seems to like testing other drivers - Tech in particular.

TT - Tantiss Technologies Livery: Aqua blue Drivers: Scorch & ? Principal: Nala Se Race Engineers: Hemlock & Emerie

Another team that has changed a lot, this year they gained a name change (formerly Tipoca Tech), and the only person retained on the team was Nala Se. They are focused on engineering the perfect car, and are thought to ignore safety for speed.

Mirrormask Livery: Grey Drivers: Fives & Boba Principle: Jango Race Engineers: Mayday & Kix

Mirrormask is an old team, and Jango used to be their star driver back when they were dominant on the field. Now they’re more a mid-back team but they hope is that rookie Boba can turn things around for him like his father.

Sith - Sith RuleTwo Livery: red Drivers: Ventress & Maul Principle: Dooku Race Engineers: Savage & Talzin

This team could be front of the grid if the drivers could get along with each other. They are more likely to take out each other (or in Maul’s case take himself out going after Obi-Wan) than finish the race. Dooku is hoping to get his drivers in check but it’s not going well so far.

Pods - Pods Racing Livery: tan Drivers: Sebulba & ?? Principle: Watto

If they finish a race it’s considered a miracle. There’s discussion of the whole team being replaced as they are known for playing dirty and using sabotage on their opponents and illegal parts in their cars.

Pairing ||  Fives x GN!Reader Word count || 987 Warnings || Brief mentions of PTSD, Fluff, So much fluff. Overview || Self indulgent Fives takes his family to the beach feels, in honour of father's day! 'Fives' prompt for @clonexreaderbingo

Crashing waves and salty air backdrop your perfect day, the shriek of your little one pulling your attention from your trashy romance novel.

Fives has your toddler by the hand, standing at the water's edge with not a care in the world. He looks so good like this, his tanned skin glowing in the light as he lifts the toddler over another wave. The small girl yells in delight as the water tickles her toes, her interaction with the water managed with care by her doting father. 

Fives doesn't want her to fear water like he does, the endless blue stirring memories of Kamino. He remembers being tossed out to sea, his survival skills tested in a brutal five day training session. He also remembers time spent below the waves, his flash training ill preparing him for deep sea diving. None of it had been enjoyable, the company of his own heartbeat prevailing over every memory, and none of it could hold a candle to the beach he stood upon. Cold unfeeling water had been swapped for warm waves, and complaining brothers had been swapped for a happy family. His little Sarad was smiling at him like he'd hung the stars, all chubby checks and sparkling eyes. And you? He's pretty sure you've never looked prettier. you're laid on a towel with a drink in one hand, and a book in the other - your eyes soft as they catch his. He stops to appreciate the sight for a moment, just long enough for a ware to crest over Sarad's waist. She squeals in surprise and holds tight to him, her little arms barely covering his chest.

"Woah, you alright there lil one?"

She nods, her curls tickling his jaw with each move.

"You sure? We can say hello to your Buir for a bit if you want. Maybe build a sandcastle?” 

She nods again and Fives takes this as a sign she’s done with the water, at least for now. He drops her to her feet once the water laps at his ankles, watching with a smile as she totters up the beach with giggles. He’s not at all surprised to see you’ve pulled out a holorecorder, your form dropped to one knee to get Sarad’s best angle; and he can’t help but tease you as you lift the cam to include him in the shot. 

“Why cyare, I’d never thought you’d ask! Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!”

He watches you roll your eyes, your expression giving away the flush of heat that rises to your cheeks.

“We’re already married, di’kut” “And what if I wanted to marry you again?” He’d marry you a billion times if he could, on as many planets as you wanted. All he wanted was for you to feel loved and appreciated, to know that you’d been and always would be the center of his galaxy. 

“I don’t think it’s entirely necessary ...” “Oh, but it is!” He beams as he cuts you off, happy to watch the effect his words have on you. The subtle shift of weight from side to side, the shift of your brows and lips; it all tells him he’d made you feel warm and happy. “But what about the cost?” “What about it?” “We can’t afford it, not on that ‘pension’ they gave you” Fives scoffs. The republic had decided some years back that his service deserved a soldier’s pension. It was, in his opinion, nothing more than a publicity stunt. The sum was barely enough to repay his vode for years of pain and loss, but it was also better than nothing - which was what they were due to get before Senator Chuchi stepped in. “My brothers will help.” “Fives, I don’t want them paying for something we don’t need.” He drops beside you with a chuckle, gathering Sarad into his arms and settling her atop his crossed legs. The blanket more than protected her from the warm sand, but he was feeling indulgent and protective today; her happy giggles encouraged his internal desire to dote on her. “I didn’t mean it like that. Kix got himself ordained. All we have to do is give him a time and date.” Your eyes widen in shock, then laughter; the expression warming your face as you retrieve a bottle of sun lotion from your bag. “Did he know? Why does that not surprise me.” Fives laughs alongside you, passing a small toy to Sarad to keep her occupied while you cover her skin in a protective layer of lotion. “He said, and I quote. ‘I’m not letting any of you di’kute ruin your cyare’s special day’. Anyone would think we can’t do serious” Your soft laughter turns to guffaws, the sound violent enough to make you snort. He’s not sure why you find it so embarrassing. He loves it when he can elicit this kind of laughter, your form near hunched over as you nurse aching ribs. “I can’t see why he’d think such a thing, I really can’t.” You spend the next few moments in laughter, settling Sarad between you to play with her toys. She’s still too young to understand the concept of making a sandcastle. For her the fun is in the filling of the bucket, and the demolishing of the castle. She doesn’t even wait for her father to say ‘ta-da!’. She’s already pushed her hands into the damp sand with a giggle, pushing the sand about to further explore its texture. “So, you in? Or ...” You lift your head with a shy smile, your eyes full of warm love as you sit on your haunches. “Only on one condition.” “Oh? And what might that be?” “That Echo and Sarad have to be our flower girls” He can't help but mirror your playful smile, his chest blooming with laughter as he reaches over to shake your hand. “You’ve got yourself a deal, cyar'ika.”

Warnings: 18+ MINORS DNI; Nudity, Sexual themes?, Fluff for sure.

WC: 900

A/N: I promise that I'm gonna start seriously working on the follower celebration requests!! <3 Very excited about them!!!

“Echo. Wake up.” You murmur, looking at your holoclock on the wall.

Kix had told you if you were late again, he’d make sure that you didn’t see the field for at least a month. And you couldn’t have that. You preferred to be in the field so you could keep better tabs on your partner’s wellbeing. 

“We’re going to be late.” You groan, throwing yourself out of bed.

“Five more minutes.” Echo rolls over. 

Looking down at his sleepy form, you can’t help but smile. The sun is shining perfectly through the blinds in your room, casting a glow over Echo’s tan skin. Unable to help yourself, you climb back into bed and pepper a line of kisses up his warm back until you get to his shoulder. 

He hums under your touch. “More please.”

You roll your eyes, amused. “Greedy.” 

He rolls over, pulling you into his arms, grinning at you. “You’re so pretty.” 

“You’re just saying that so we don’t get out of bed for five more minutes.” You kiss his chest. 

He pulls your chin up toward him so he can kiss your lips. You would absolutely stay in bed with Echo all day if you could. Unfortunately, you two had way too much going on for you to just call in sick. Though, that idea will remain in the back of your mind for another day.

“You’re absolutely right.” He smirks.

Climbing on top of him, sliding your hands up his chest, one of your hands sliding over his handprint tattoo on one side and the other hand sliding over his domino tattoo on the other side, you start to go to cup his face but he sits up and wraps his arms around you, your naked bodies pressing together. Echo crushes his lips to yours and you sigh into it, melting instantly.

“I’d do this all day if I could.” He murmurs. 

“I know, me too.” You whisper against his lips. 

The way that you crave him couldn’t be considered normal, right? It’s like your body stays on constant alert for him. The moment that you’re near him, you feel calm again. 

“What if we call-” He tries.

“Nope. Too late.” You shake your head. 

“Ugh.” He pouts and you can’t help but let out a soft laugh as you kiss his pouty lips.

“What if I promise to cook you dinner tonight?” You ask, trying to make it better so he’ll get out of bed.

“Will you do it naked?” He smirks, running his warm calloused hands up your bare back. 

“Absolutely not.” You roll your eyes. “That’s such a safety hazard.” 

“Such a medic answer.” He groans, playfully.

It’s true. You’re constantly weighing the outcome of things, safety-wise.

“Do you have any idea how many accidents could happen in a kitchen? Adding nudity to the mix-” You start to lecture him.

“Hey, hey. I was just kidding.” He grins at you before peppering your bare chest with soft kisses. 

“Yeah well… your inability to think about the safety of things is such an arc trooper thing to-” You start to argue with him but he quickly flips you over on your back and starts kissing you to shut you up.

Unfortunately, it works because your whole brain goes fuzzy like it always does when it comes to Echo kissing you. You’ve been in love with this man since the first time you ever fixed him up in the med tent on his first campaign as an arc trooper. 

Still not having told Echo that you love him, scared of him telling you that he’s not ready for something so serious, you keep your feelings to yourself. 

The way that he holds you and looks at you, though, always has you wondering if he may feel the same way.

“You’re so beautiful.” He nudges his nose against your jaw.

“You are.” You look at him, seriously. 

You mean it. He’s so fucking pretty, you’ll never not want to look at him. Feeling the rise and fall of his chest against yours, you can’t look away from him. 

It’s as if something changes between you two. 

“What is it-” You start to ask.

“I think I might be in love with you.” He admits, a little rushed.

“You think?” You quirk an eyebrow up.

“I am. I don’t know why I said ‘think’... I’m definitely in love with you.” He smiles, slightly shyly, like he was the first day you met, but with a hint of confidence.

He means it. 

“I’m in love with you.” You tell him, never having been more sure of anything in your life. 

Echo was the only person you’ve ever wanted like this. No one could ever possibly compare. It just isn’t possible. He’s the sun that you wake up for every single morning, and to him you’re the moon that he wants to come home for every single night. 

“You mean that?” He whispers.

“I wish there were more words to convey just how in love with you I am… Perhaps they’ve not been written yet.” You look into his eyes, trying to will him to understand just how much you belong to him.

“Cyare…” He murmurs before crushing his lips to yours again.

Maybe you and Echo could call in late just this one time. You have a feeling that whatever consequence you face back at work would be worth it.

Shadows of the Force

Chapter 1: The Twins

Warnings: swearing, star wars level warfare, injury.

Word Count: 4K

Summery: The Twins meet The Bad Batch, Captain Rex and the 501s for the first time and take on a new kind of mission.

Two pairs of eyes watched as a ship just about crash landed on the loading zone. They didn't seem impressed with the pilots flying skills, the twins leaning against a few crates as they watched the ship slide to a stop. They were on Anaxes, helping with the battle that had been going on for weeks now. Their armor showed the scraps, burn marks, and dents of war, the paint chipped but they didn't seem to care.

They watched as 4 clones in black and red armor walked off the ship, each one taller than the last. Then they saw Cody walk up to the one with longer hair, a face tattoo and a bandana around his head, grabbing arms in a handshake.

"So what suicide mission are you sending us on this time Cody?" The Sergeant asked Commander Cody. The Grand Marshall nodded his head as he went to answer the Clone.

"First you have 2 other members of this mission you need to meet." Cody told the group. Rex looked over at Jesse and Kix before looking back at Cody.

"Who else did you call Cody?" He asked as he ran a hand over his short blonde hair. Cody smirked and nodded his head at the two shadowy figures standing off in the distance. He raised his hands waving them over. They had their helmets on and right away they could tell they were no clones.

"Mandalorians?" Rex questioned.

"Not just Mandalorians." The one spoke up, a feminine voice speaking from under the helmet. She pulled her helmet off, her long black and platinum white hair falling from the helmet. It was braided into 2 double dutch braids that went back into one thick braid that hung down over her shoulder. Her hair fell down to her hips when lose. Her steel gray eyes looked unnatural, almost glowing. She had softly tanned skin, full lips and a softly shaped nose.

"Shadow Kline of Clan Rook." She said, extending her hand out to shake. Captain Rex shook her hand first and then Jesse and Kix. She then turned to the Bad Batch. "And you must be the Bad Batch. Heard some interesting stories about you boys." She said with a smirk.

The dark and broody one raised an eyebrow before shaking her hand.

"Sergeant Hunter. This here is Tech, Wrecker and Crosshair." He said pointing at each of his brothers.

"This over here is Captain Rex, Jesse and Medic Kix." Cody spoke up, pointing out the other clones standing behind himself. She nodded her head at each of the clones as she learned their names.

"This is my twin sister Scarlett." She waved to the other Mando standing behind her. She pulled off her helmet, showcasing black and red shoulder length hair that was a bit wavy. She had dark hazel eyes that seemed to cut right into your soul. A rifle was strapped to her back, a knife on her thigh. Shadow had two blasters, one on each hip and a knife on her chest plates. Their armor was black with dark purple and soft yellow accents adorning the armor. Their helmets had purple and yellow swirls and lines as well. They both wore black kama with a yellow and purple Vexis embroidered onto the right hip.

"Don't let them fool you boys. This is Lieutenants Shadow and Scarlett Kline, Special Ops Unit. These two are deadlier than they look." Cody said laced with pride. Shadow smiled at the Commander as he spoke.

"What makes you so special?" Crosshair snapped at them. Scarlett glared at the tall, linky clone and tilted her chin up.

"Cause we are clones." She hissed in a tone that matched his. The group looked around at each other, trying to wrap their minds around this news.

"Clones?" Rex spoke up, confusion written all over his face. Shadow wanted to slam a hand to her face but she kept her cool. She glared at her twin for a second before turning to the group.

"Yes, clones. But not from the same donor as you. Our mother was next in line as clan leader of Clan Rook. But our parents couldn't have a child. So our mother had herself cloned in order to have an Heir. She got twin girls who were also genetically modified. Meaning like the Bad Batch, we have enhanced abilities to become the next generation of Mandalorian soldiers."

Shadow looked at Hunter while she talked, seeming to feel the need to watch his expression as she spoke. His eyes seemed to hold questions only she could see. They way he stood, holding himself made it seem like nothing could phase him, but she knew better. She could feel the shift in his muscles, his breathing, the way his body reacted to her words.

"Now… the mission?" Scarlett spoke up. "I don't know about you boys, but I'm not looking to stand around for a chit chat." A roll of her eyes followed her statement.

"Let's get going. We'll brief you on the way." Cody said, pointing to the gunship that was waiting for them. The group of soldiers walked to the ship and hopped inside, grabbing the support straps that hung down for them. Shadow tucked her helmet under her arm standing next to Rex and her sister with Kix behind her. She saw Jesse and Crosshair glaring at each other, Crosshair moving his toothpick from one side of his mouth to the other as he sent a death glare to the trooper.

"What are you looking at?" Jesse snapped at the snipper, a hint of anger in his eyes. Crosshair pulled the toothpick from his mouth and flicked it at the soldier.

"We don't usually work with "regs." He hissed in a cold tone.

"Regs?!" Jesse growled.

"He's talking about regular clones. But don't take it personal." Hunter stepped in, trying to keep the peace between the clones. Shadow felt the energy swirling and racing around the men, their anger on full display to her. She took a deep breath pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Males." She thought to herself.

"We're all on the same team, so cut the attitude and listen up." She snapped at the men, her voice holding a bite to it. The group fell silent so Rex cleared his voice and spoke up.

"Here's the mission. Our target is this Cyber Center. It's the "brains" of the entire Separatist campaign here on Anaxes." He said pulling up a Holo map. He pointed to the building that showed up. The group took a good hard look at it, then Wrecker spoke up.

"I could demolish that with one hand! Yeah!"

Shadow smiled at the large man, finding his love of blowing things up amusing.

"This isn't a demo job, Wrecker. It's strictly a retrieval operation." pointed out Rex, much to Wrecker's disappointment. Shadow looked up to find Hunter watching her. She stood up a bit straighter. His eyes seemed to be searching her as if he was trying to read her mind. She raised an eyebrow at him watching him duck his head to the side having been caught staring. She smiled lightly to herself before she felt a boot tab her on the leg. She turned her head and saw Scarlett giving her a look. Shadow just shrugged and faced forward again.

Boom!

"What the Kriff?!" Shadow screeched as her body slammed back Into the wall of the ship.

"Incoming fire! We're going down!" The pilot's voice fills the ship as it launches forward again, sending Rex, Cody, Scarlett and Shadow into each other and Jesse and Kix fall to the floor behind them.

Boom!

Another explosion tore through the ship as it spun before smacking into the ground below. Shadow was thrown from the ship, her back and right side smacking onto the stony ground, the air being forced from her body. Her head felt lightheaded as she tried to take a deep breath. Her ears were ringing loudly, her heart pounding under her ribs. She rolled into her side, feeling pain slowly fill her body but nothing felt broken.

"We always get shot down when we travel with regs!" Crosshair's voice filled the air as he stood up, dusting himself off. She looked around, seeing Wrecker helping her sister stand up. She felt a hand on her arm and saw Tech standing above her.

"Are you alright Miss?" His voice still sounded far away due to the ringing in her ears. She groaned and let him help her up. She put a hand to her head and looked over to the right, seeing Rex running to the gunship.

"Cody! Help!" His scared voice filled the air around them as he tried to get to his vod.

"He's trapped! We have to do something."

"I'll get him. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." Wrecker said, placing a hand on Rex, pushing him back towards Hunter as he walked to the ship.

"Easy, Captain. Wrecker, get him out." But Hunter's words fell on deaf ears as he tried to hold the Captain back.

"Get back! This is ridiculous! He's gonna need help to get Cody out of there."

Crosshair stepped up and looked at Rex as he spoke. "He's gonna get the gunship out of there. Not Cody."

Now this confused Shadow. What in the world did that mean? She leaned against Tech still as he helped her move closer to her sister. She nodded to Scarlett when she saw her raise an eyebrow, letting her know she would be fine. They watched as Wrecker picked up the gunship and literally flipped in off Cody. The ship rocked back and forth as he picked up the Clone Commander.

"Boom." Wrecker said as he started walking away from the ship with Cody in hand. The ship then exploded, the flames reaching high into the night air. Shadow turned away a bit, shielding her eyes from the bright flames. Wrecker laid Cody onto the ground and Rex and Kix raced to his side as he groaned and whined in pain. Kix ran a device over his body looking for damage.

"He has internal damage." Kix said reaching into his medpack from a shot as he spoke. "I can cut the pain. But he needs help fast." He looked to Rex before giving Cody a shot of pain meds.

"We all need help. That blast gave away our position." Hunter said as he looked around at the group, his eyes finding Shadow's before looking back to Rex.

"I thought getting shot down gave away our position." Sassed Scarlett. Hunter gave her a look that did nothing to make her lose her attitude.

"Everyone, Find cover!" Shadow cut in, pointing to a group of battle droids walking their way.

Rex stood up and looked over at the large group marching their way. "We'll hold this position and let them come to us." He said as he looked to Jesse and Kix to help get Cody to the other side of the ship for some cover. Shadow reached for a blaster, itching to blow something up after all that.

Hunter raised a hand as he turned to look at his brothers. "I don't think so, Captain. That's not our style." He then looked back at the droids.

"We prefer going to them."

"Bad Batch! Plan 82, "Shockwave!"' Hunter called out as they pulled on their helmets. Wrecker picked up a large chuck of the gunship that was lying on the ground and stepped in front of his brothers. Shadow took a step forward, trying to figure out what exactly they had planned.

"Is that smart?!" She called out as they took off running for the droids. She watched as they got closer before Wrecker slammed the hunk of metal upright into the ground, making a wall for them to hide behind. Crosshair started shooting at the droids as Hunter threw a Droid Popper into the air. Crosshair snapped up his gun, hitting the popper making a wave of droids fall to the ground. Shadow was impressed at this. She had never seen something like this before. She took another step closer, coming up to stand with Rex as they watched Clone Force 99 do what they were famous for.

"Have you ever seen a group work like that before?" She asked as she watched Hunter slashing and cutting down droids with his knife. The way he moved, jumping and swirling around them as if it was some sort of dance to him. Her body felt a rash of energy as she watched him, as if something was pulling at her trying to show her something. She never felt anything like it before. Never felt a pull towards someone like this before. Soon all the droids were destroyed and the batch walked back towards the group, Hunter spinning his knife between his fingers before sliding it back into the holder on his arm.

"That was some show you put on just now."

"Just doing our job, Captain." Hunter answered. He looked over at Shadow and frowned a bit. "You alright? You're bleeding." He said taking a step closer to her. She reached up and felt blood on her face and realized that her lip was bleeding and she had a small cut in her forehead. She waved a hand and looked up at him.

"I'm fine. I've had worse than this." She hummed before looking over at Wrecker picking on Crosshair with a Droid head.

"Hey, look, Crosshair, this little clanker likes you." He said, pushing the droid into his face. Crosshair pushed the droid away and sneered up at his larger brother.

"Grow up Wrecker." He said bitterly.

Shadow smiled and chuckled, finding Wrecker annoying the snipper funny. She looked over at her twin only to find Scarlett staring at Crosshair, a slight blush to her cheeks. That was new. Her sister never showed interest in a man before. She never saw her blush before now that she thought about it. What brought this on?

"We should move out before reinforcements arrive. Our position has been compromised." Rex's voice cut through her thoughts, making her jump slightly. She turned to look at the blonde haired Captain and nodded. She made sure Jesse and Kix had Cody before falling into step behind Rex as he led the group away from the battle behind them. They started making their way into the hills, trying to find a place to lay low for a bit till someone could come for Cody.

As they walked on Shadow realized Hunter fell into step with her, matching her pace. He seemed to be deep in thought as he looked ahead. "You seem lost in thought there, Sergeant." She said in a hushed voice. She watched as his dark honey eyes found hers and it was like the air in her lungs rushed from her body. This was something she never felt before. That pull she felt earlier started tugging at her mind again and she tried to ignore it. She didn't know what it meant.

"Hmmm. Just… thinking about what you said earlier. About how you are like… me.. my brothers. Different I guess." He shrugged his shoulders after he spoke, looking forward again. Shadow thought over his words for a moment before speaking up.

"I can manipulate shadows and darkness, making myself blend in better, making it as if I wasn't even there. My senses are enhanced, like yourself. I can feel everything around me. Hear, smell, taste every small detail. It's like a wave, a river of energy floating and swirling around me, telling me what's going on or what's happened before I even see it." She paused for a moment to take a breath. Hunter was hanging onto her words, soaking them in as if they were water and he was a dying man.

She looked at him and smiled softly before going on. "I have enhanced flexibility and hand to eye, making me very hard to beat in hand to hand." Hunter smiled at this, seeming to find it appealing that she was good at hand to hand. She likes seeing him smile, the way his tattoo moved with his muscles in his face.

"What about your sister? What can she do?" He asked curiously.

"Ahhhhh. Well. She has enhanced eyesight, speed, and reflexes. She has an enhanced mind, specifically in military strategy and weapons. She can have a bomb or gun apart and back together in under a minute with how fast she thinks. She is honestly one of the best snipers I know. She has a perfect aim." She boosted about her twin. She was proud about who they were and what they could do in service to the Republic and the honor it bright her clan.

"Remind me to never be on the other end of a fight with you two then." He joked lightly to her. Shadow smiled and shook her head. She looked back at her sister who seemed to strike up a conversation with Crosshair about his rifle. Hunter looked over his shoulder at the pair and raised an eyebrow as he saw Crosshair actually talking. "Huh."

Shadow turned her eyes to look at the broody clone. "What?"

Hunter looked back at her and seemed like he was still surprised at what he saw behind him. "I've never seen Crosshair actually look happy to be speaking to someone before. It's… weird."

Shadow hummed and nodded her head. "Scarlett is not that most… approachable person either. Though people seem to think I'm the colder of the two, just from… well my eyes, my hair, the way I hold myself."

"The look of a leader who has seen more than her share in life." His words stunned her. She never heard someone say it like that before. Like he understood just how much her life twisted and turned since a young age, that it never slowed down and she had to make choices that changed her life in many ways. It was like he looked right into her soul and knew everything that she went through to keep herself and her sister alive to fight another day in this war.

"Yeah… eyes that have seen so much inna short amount of time I guess." She said softly before looking ahead to Rex, Jesse and Kix trying to keep Cody moving. The two soldiers soon fell quiet but it was a nice and calming type. They walked side by side for a while following the Captain as he looked for a place to rest. They walked for another hour or so till they found a small grove of trees at the base of a hill. Jesse soon for a fire going as Wrecker grabbed logs to place around the fire for them to sit on. Jesse, Kix, Shadow and Scarlett sat on one side of the fire as the batch sat on the other side. Cody was laying off to the side, holding his chest in pain as Rex tried to keep him calm as he called in for a rescue crue. Hunter got up and walked past Shadow as he made his way into the darkest, bending down now and again, feeling the dirt and looking around him.

Jesse was eating as he looked out at Hunter. He took a bite of food before elbowing Kix. "So, I get what makes the other Batchers unique, but what's so special about Hunter?" He asked his vod. Kix shrugged his shoulders before saying

"He can put up with the other three."

Jesse and Kix laughed and Shadow shook her head at them, a soft smile playing on her face.

"He was engineered with heightened senses. A place like the Cyber Center, Hunter can feel the electromagnetic frequencies from anywhere on the planet." Tech spoke up looking up from his Holopad for the first time in hours. Shadow looked back over at Hunter and knew he was trying to find a clue, a sign of which way they were supposed to be going.

"And here I thought we were smart just using a holomap." Jesse said with a roll of his eyes.

"Well, maps can be wrong. Hunter never is." Tech said, seeming to miss the sarcasm in Jesse's voice. Scarlett rolled her eyes beside Shadow and leaned forward a bit.

"Shadow is never wrong either. If she says something is gonna happen or we need to move I don't question it. She is never wrong when it comes to her enhancements." The colder of the two Mandalorians said as she looked into the fire blazing in front of her. "So if she doesn't agree with Hunter I will follow her without question." She said looking Tech as she spoke the last part.

Rex was off to the side, bearing everything that was being said. "Hang in there Cody." He said with a pat to his vod's shoulder.

"Listen up. We have to move out. Commander Cody's in no position to move. Already called in Evac. Kix will stay with Cody until it arrives. I'm in charge now. And I've got a plan to get into that Cyber Center." He addressed the group as he moved closer to the fire, looking them each in the eye as he spoke.

"If your plans are so good, why did Commander Cody have to call us in?" Sneared Crosshair as he mouthed off to Rex.

"You can't talk to Captain Rex like that!" Jesse said standing up and pushing Crossaid in his chest plates, sending the tall Clone stumbling backwards. Shadow gasped as Wrecker picked up Jesse and held him up in the air. Kix tried to push his way forward, only to be pushed back by Tech. Scarlett jumped up and so did Shadow, a hand flying to her blaster. She watched as Rex tried to get Wrecker to drop Jesse but failed. Hunter came rushing over and grabbed Wrecker's arm. Jesse soon dropped to the ground and Kix helped him up.

"Fellas, come on! We're all fighting for the same thing, right?" Hunter snapped at his brothers trying to regain some control. They soon nodded and Jesse and Kix nodded their heads too. Shadow saw Rex letting out a breath of air. She felt sorry for the Captain.

"All right then. Let's cut the chatter and finish what we started." Hunter then turned to Rex and said "We'll do it your way, Captain. For Commander Cody."

Shadow saw Rex give Hunter a look of gratitude before speaking to the others once more. "Okay. Let's gear up and move out."

Shadow reached for her pack and felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up she met the eyes of her twin. "One way or another these guys are gonna need to learn to get along…. Or we are all going to end up like Cody or worse."

Shadow nodded her head and cast a glance around the men grabbing their gear. "I agree. The Bad Batch doesn't seem to play well with normal Clones. Though Hunter seems to be the only one open minded about working with them. Or us for that matter." She stated as she pulled on her pack. "I just hope they get their shit together before we have to get involved." The twins smiled at each other before sharing a chuckle. She glanced over at Hunter who was already looking her way. She felt the pull at her mind and body again and a shiver rolled up her spine.

"Something tells me this mission is going to go differently than any of us have planned for." She sighed before walking away from the fire with the others, leaving Kix and Cody to wait for pick up back to base. She looked over her shoulder one last time at the fire slowly growing smaller behind her and placed a hand on her blaster. "Let's go kill some droids." She said look at her twin before walking off after the others again.

Masterlist

[blackkatmagic]

Ah! The intro to Lando! And a coming date night with Kix and Rex! And Kix completely into sweaty shirtless Agen and Agen being clueless and Fox being like "this kriffing idiot brother of mine"! And THE VAMBRACES! This chapter was adorable and the smile on my face was so big the entire time.

Also Agen moving forward with a new lightsaber, wanting to honor the joy of the time he had with Tan. 😭

Agen, an empath strong enough to be on Jedi High Council: My boyfriend is acting strange while I am shirtless and sweaty. I feel distress from him. It must be the heat, obviously.

But more seriously, yeah, Agen is very much moving on from the deep grief that led him to forge his first double crystal lightsaber, and it's like. He's not going to give up Tan's crystal, because it's a piece of Tan. But he can incorporate it into something that wasn't built solely out of terrible, wretched mourning, and it's a sign that he's recovering. Even in the middle of the war, he's finding a path forward, and all the people around him (and his bond with Aram to a degree) are helping with that.

quinlans face markings get mentioned in dark disciple referred to as "tattoos" but he had them as a small child? so he got them at a young age and somehow theyre super vibrant still..?? he isnt human so i figured it was just a thing of his species, or like the legends comics implies, a type of long lasting paint. tattoos......

i guess in star wars tattoos are kinda magic bc the clones and darth maul (in legends at least) have extremely intricate tattoos that dont fade, are super vibrant even on tan and dark skin, and are always done in a perfect way despite the conditions.

like dogma and kix. i assume clone tattoos are like prison tattoos bc how else could the clones do it? but theyre always very nice looking, as in... no blowout, and perfect symmetry.. how would they even do aftercare?!? i guess bacta would speed it up...?

how?!?!?

maybe im taking this sci fi a bit too serious -_-

14. miracle and hope 👀👀

Kix/Agen - Modern with Magic AU with Kix, an injured Agen, and Tan encouraging Kix to reach out and confess. There’s a small problem with that, though.

————————————

“For the record,” Kix says dryly, once he’s managed to get Agen lying down on the floor to prevent more movement. The white marks lay stark against dark skin like they’re thorns, too attached, ragged breathing and soft groans reaching his ears. “He’s not my boyfriend.”

“Of course,” Tan says flatly, glances towards Agen with a worried look. “He’s definitely not your boyfriend.”

“He already has someone,” Kix says steadily and ignores the pangs of his heart. There’s already an orb absorbing the curse taking course in Agen’s body, the shallow breathing slowly evening out into a steady beat. The white marks are slowly fading, but it’ll take a couple of hours at the least.

From the white marks, it’s been cast by one of the Nightsisters, considering how fast it spreads. The Nightsisters prefer a fast death, even if they’re associated with the Sith, but their curses are easy to get out. A Sith’s curse would be slower and more painful, harder to get out and destroy.

“You know he died years ago,” Tan points out and doesn’t flinch when Kix turns a glare on him. A credit to the kid, especially when he’s been training under one of the best agents in the Republic. “Dad seems more happier with you nowadays.”

“Don’t lie to yourself,” he mutters halfheartedly, but he feels the familiar flush of red creeping up his neck. Kix isn’t going to lie; Agen is hot, beautiful, someone who deserves the best and Kix isn’t the one who can give him that.

His heart aches from the obvious fact, but he ignores it, places a hand on the man’s chest and feels the curse withering away to the orb.

“I’m not lying,” Tan says lightly, like he knows something Kix doesn’t. “You should ask him out. Your pining is painful to watch–”

“Your father is still in love with him,” Kix interrupts, feels slightly mortified that Tan has managed to catch on. “I’m not going to do that to him, not when he’s still hurting.”

CLONE WARS BEACH DAY HEADCANONS:

Padme takes the group on a much needed beach day on Naboo near the lake house

Ahsoka uses this as an opportunity to make fun of Anakin for the whole "sand line" (Padme told her about it)

Anakin complains about the sand on the way there, and Ahsoka's snarky comments.

Obi wan drowns it out with the vodka he brought

Cody is making sure he doesn't drink too much

Once there all the clones strip to their swim trunks

Obi wan tells everyone they need to wait until they have sunscreen on, Anakin goes "no I'm going in now!" Obi wan yells no, but Anakin has already ran into the water.

Fives and Hardcase run after to join him.

Obi wan sighs and goes to lay down in the lounge chair so he can actually relax.

Ahsoka soon goes in the water with water guns and attacks Anakin.

Anakin came prepared and grabs one too.

Padme lays a towel down on the sand and lays there to tan.

Anakin stares at her mesmerized while Obi wan pretends not see because he just doesn't care enough right now.

Echo sits and reads a book in the shade until Jesse and Fives splash water on it, so Echo gets up in rage and has no choice but to follow them into the water so he can attempt to drown them.

Kix stops him before he can because he really does not want to do mouth to mouth cpr on Fives.

Rex is trying to keep everything under control but gives up 5 minutes in and decides to have fun.

Tup doesn't want to get his hair wet but Fives obviously ends up dumping water on him.

Anakin and Ahsoka's goal for the end of the day is get obi wan wet. *Spoiler Alert* They succeed, and Obi wan almost kills them.

When the day is over the group all sits on the beach and watches the sunset, while Anakin and Padme try and fail not to make goo goo eyes at each other, Ahsoka and Rex are leaning on each other (platonically), Obi wan is only slightly drunk and all the clones are in awe.(Except Dogma, pretty sure he doesn't show emotion.)

Maybe I'll make a part two talking about each of their swim suits/outfits. We'll see. 🤷‍♀️

GN Reader/ Kix

Decades have passed since the clone wars ended, so it shouldn’t be possible for someone to have found you.

You want to help, you need to; it is so ingrained into you that it is almost your entire identity. But you can’t do it anymore. So much pain and death, so many nightmares, all the horrors of war, it had all finally gotten to you. You decide that, as hard as it would be, leaving the GAR behind was the best thing to do for yourself. You’d find a smaller city, on another planet, and do what you could there, where the odds of running into any clones were slim to none.

You’re standing in the small supply closet of the clinic you live and work in on a small, Outer Rim planet. The occasional creak of the building will intermittently remind you of how long you’ve been here on particularly windy nights. It’s another quiet day, and so, with nothing to distract you, your mind wanders to the dream you had the night before.

In the dream, you were standing in the kitchen of your Coruscant apartment, and it was pouring rain outside, high winds lashing against the windows. Aside from this it was quiet, until you heard what sounded like two hands knocking at your door. You rushed to answer, and when the door slid open, you ran out into a large clearing in a forest, an approaching storm on the horizon. You could see a pair of figures just within the tree line, but they’re too far away to recognize. Something compelled you to run to them, but it was like moving through thick mud; the going was torturously slow and every muscle in your body burned, but you were able to eventually reach the copse of trees where the two figures were standing. Their backs were towards you, so you couldn’t see their faces, but the distinct sound of voices could be heard, warbling and distorted. You crept closer and saw that they’re both wearing white armor, with an extremely specific shade of blue. You opened your mouth to call to them, but nothing came out no matter how loudly you tried to scream. Finally, they turned to look at you, and seconds before their faces came into view, you woke up.

You had sat straight up in your small bed, panting, and your cheeks were damp with what you initially thought were a few beads of sweat. You rubbed your eyes and realized that you were crying and a small sob had cracked your throat. You had gotten so close that time.

Back in the present moment, you hear the door of the building slide open, pulling you back to your senses. You absently wipe the stray tears off of your face as you quickly grab a bottle of medicine, then return to the main area of the clinic.

“I was starting to think you weren’t coming in Mrs. Dothal,” you say, doing a fair job of sounding cheerful. When you turn the corner, you freeze. Instead of the elderly Duros woman you were expecting, a tall man with cropped curly black hair and tanned skin is standing in the center of the room. He’s facing away from you, appearing to examine the equipment in the room around him.

“Oh,” you say, surprised. “I’m sorry, I thought you were someone else.” You set the medicine down on a counter and take a few steps toward the stranger, who’s posture stiffens after hearing you speak. “What do you need help with?” you ask, not noticing this as you approach. You freeze when you hear the man softly, incredulously say your name. Your real name, the name you haven’t used since you left Coruscant a lifetime ago. What’s more, the voice is familiar. Too familiar.

But this can’t be possible, you think. It’s been decades since the fall of the Republic; the last of the Clones had died out a long time ago, thanks to their accelerated aging engineered by the Kaminoans. You hear the man say your name again, and find yourself unable to move as you watch him turn around.

Your heart nearly stops and your mouth hangs open. It’s Kix.

He doesn’t look a day older than the last time you saw him, despite all the time that had passed. “It is you,” he says, and you snap your jaw shut. “Kix? H-how…?” you say, voice shaking.

“That’s… a long story,” he says softly, before finally making eye contact with you. The moment he does, you both rush toward each other, the two of you crashing together into a tight embrace as you start to sob.

“And they eventually told me how long I’d been in stasis like that,” Kix says, pausing to take a small sip of the hot tea you had brewed up. You’re both sitting at the small kitchen table in your upstairs living quarters that are attached to the clinic.

“I’m so sorry,” you say, gently holding his free hand with your own.

“I tried for so long to find someone, anyone, but,” he says, stopping with a shuddering breath. “There wasn’t anyone left. At least, that’s what I thought, until today.”

“How did you find me?” you ask.

“By accident,” he says with a soft chuckle. “The ship I’m on is low on some medical supplies and I figured I’d try to buy some off of whoever was here.”

“Take whatever you want,” you say, waving a hand and gesturing toward the supply closet. “I’ve got more than enough.” Kix looks pensive and doesn’t respond right away. He says your name; “What happened to you? You just didn’t show up one day. I hadn’t heard anything about you and nobody knew where you were,” he says quietly. “I… I thought you had been killed.” Your chest aches at this.

“I’m sorry, Kix. I really am. I shouldn’t have just deserted the way that I did. It had finally gotten to be too much, I just had to get as far away as I could as fast as I could,” you say. “I wasn’t thinking about anyone but myself,” you say, regret heavy in your words.

“And you’ve been here since then?” Kix asks.

“Not exactly, I bounced around on Lothal for a little while before the Empire really got its stranglehold on the place. I just hopped onto a ship one day and went as far out as I could afford,” you say. You pause to sip your own tea, then continue; “I wound up out here. It was rough at first. The folks in this town are very wary of outsiders and were suspicious of me, until I was able to save one of the local kids from a severe allergic reaction. A few of them helped me build this place and I’ve been here since then.”

Kix nods, looks like he’s about to say something, then stops himself. You know what he wants to ask.

“It’s helped a lot, being so isolated and far away from the center of the war. Time has made it easier, for the most part. I’m…” you pause, looking for the right words. “Okay,” you say. “ I don’t think I’ll ever be ‘good’ again, but I’ve accepted that.” You stand, duck into your bedroom, and return a few moments later with a framed photo in your hands. “This was one of the very few things I kept after leaving the capital. It’s all I’ve got left,” you say sadly, before handing the frame over for Kix to look over.

Behind the glass, the photo shows an image, somewhat faded with time. It’s from one of the many nights you all had spent at 79s. Your face is smoother, your hair untouched by grays, and there’s a sparkle in your eyes. There’s a similar light in everyone else pictured. Echo has his arm around your shoulders, Rex is rolling his eyes as Fives and Jesse appear to be butting heads over something unimportant, and Kix is leaned back, taking a long pull off of whatever is bottled in his hand. With everything you and Kix had both been through, it was almost like looking at a group of strangers. After a minute or so, Kix hands the frame back to you and you set it aside on a nearby countertop.

“So what did you need?” you ask. Kix looks confused. “You said you needed supplies for the ship you’re on, right? What are you out of?”

“Oh, that. I’ve got a list,” he says, before digging through a pocket and handing you a small sheet of flimsi with a few things written on it.

“Your handwriting is still terrible,” you say with a chuckle after looking it over. “Give me just a few minutes, I’ll go pack it up for you.”

After maybe another hour, you and Kix are standing at the other edge of town where a smaller freighter ship a little way out is parked with its engines warming up. You quickly double check the contents of a small crate that you’ve packed with your extra bacta patches and a few other items, then close it, patting the lid.

“Are you sure that’ll be enough?” you ask, looking over at Kix.

“It’s plenty; I don’t need this much,” he says. You dismissively wave a hand. “My own supplier will be coming around in a few days anyway,” you say.

You watch a green astromech roll toward you, take the crate, and push it back towards the waiting ship. You sigh. “I suppose you’ll be heading out then?” you ask quietly.

“I should,” Kix says, sounding oddly conflicted.

“You ‘should’?” you repeat. “You say that like you don’t really want to.”

“I… I don’t,” Kix says, gently taking your hand. “After all this time, and after searching for so long, I thought I was the only one still alive. I don’t want to be alone again, please,” he says, his grip on your hand tightening a little.

“You know, I think I’ve had more than enough time by myself; I don’t really want you to leave either,” you say, looking over at him. As your words process, the gloomy expression on Kix’s face suddenly clears.

“I mean, you’ll probably wind up sleeping in a cot on the floor for a while, but-“ you say, but this time Kix cuts you off.

“I’ll sleep in the mud outside, I don’t care,” he says.

You look over at him and squeeze his hand. “Go get or say whatever you need to, I’ll be right here.”

Without looking away from you, Kix comms into the ship, says “leave without me,” and tosses the comm device into a nearby puddle. You smile at him, the setting sun shining a golden light across your face.

“Come on then,” you say. “Let’s go home.”

“The animated clones aren’t whitewashed!” “It’s just the lighting!” “You’re just picking the pictures of Temuera Morrison where he looks really tan! The clones would be pale because they wear armor all day”

Let me stop you right there.

These are meant to be the exact same man in the exact same lighting. Are you seriously telling me the animated Cody doesn’t look any paler or more white than the live action Cody?

Now those are terrible quality pictures because my phone decided to mess up when I screenshotted them, so let’s look at some other photos.

From here on out, let’s completely ignore skin tone.

Here’s a picture of Temuera Morrison:

What do we see? First off, incredibly curly hair. Those curls are tight and very clear, even when his hair is short.

Now let’s look at Kix here:

His hair is very clearly straight. It would take minimal effort to add some curl texture to that cut.

“Now,” you might be saying, “the show started in 2008, they didn’t have the technology to make curly hair back then!”

I’m not an expert in animation back in the 2000s but that sounds an awful lot like you’re making excuses. And regardless, it’s not like they’re not still doing it now. Take a look at Howzer here, he was introduced in episode 11 of the Bad Batch.

Also terrible picture quality but incredibly straight hair.

Now, let’s take another look at Temuera:

Look at his nose this time. It’s very flat, very round, there are no harsh edges.

Now let’s look at fives:

It’s weirdly pointed. There’s no roundness to it. Whilst it is shaped vaguely like Temuera’s it’s like someone told the animators they weren’t allowed to use curved lines. It’s weird.

Now finally, one more picture of Temuera:

Now let’s look at his face shape. It’s pretty soft. You can see his cheekbones but they aren’t super prominent. Same with his jaw and his chin too. Nothing is super sharp or pointed.

Now let’s look at Cody again:

(Taking one detour here to say look at how pointy and sharp that nose is.) Look at how sharp all his features are. Pointed jawline, pointy chin, incredibly sharp cheekbones.

What I’m trying to say here is it’s literally not hard to see the ways the clones are whitewashed without even looking at skin tone. Now I’m white, I’m not the authority on this. This is what I’ve noticed from listening to poc creators on this app. I implore you guys to do your own research. Star Wars was white washing its clones long before the bad batch.

Can I get a match up with a clone trooper? I'm 5"5, have gray eyes, brown hair I die blonde, and my hair almost reaches my hips. I have freckles on my nose, and I have very very lightly sun tanned skin. I'm not skinny but not chunky either, I play rugby and I snowboard. I love nature and animals. I'm sarcastic and sassy, I talk to much, I love hard and fast, I'm loyal, I have trust issues. I have a dirty mind and I'm a nerd. I love history, read, writing, singing, dancing, sweet foods (I'm always snacking) I like traveling but also love a good movie binge. Loyalty, honesty, trust and communication is important to me in a relationship. I love to cuddle. I have a temper and a mind of my own that can get me in trouble but you really have to push my buttons for that side of me to show. Hope this is enough info on me! Thanks!

I match you with... Captain Rex

Rex has known you almost as long as he has known Padme, he met you when he had occupied Anakin to visit the senator.

The two of you seemed to hit it off almost instantly.

He has come to you over many of his worries about the war, his team and his own mental health. He trust you more then anyone.

By the force he hates when he has to leave for missions he'd much rather be in your arms then out in gun fire.

Anakin knows about your relationship with his captain and he keeps it a secret and covers for him when he disappears after beign away on a long haul mission.

At this point Rex has a key to your apartment. He basically lives there when he is planet side.

Gods you miss him when he isn't there. You miss his present in bed not having another body beside yours some nights are harder then others missing the man you love and wondering if he is even alive.

His favourite things to come back home to is cuddling you on the couch and watching movies, it keeps him our of his head and it means he's back for a while and able to spend time with you even if it's just a night.

Some nights you have to make sure he goes to bed because he's so busy working on reports that he doesn't even realise how many cups of Caf he's gone thought.

Other times its waking him from his night terrors from botched missions.

He's a very sweet man and deserves the galaxy and some times he doesn't know why you put up with him but he loves you despite everything.

Rex and the rest of the 501st stand ready on the shuttle ship. The general stands with them as the ship takes off into he sky. "So boys what's your plan once we get back to Coruscant" Anakin ask trying to lighten the mood after the hells they had all been thought.

"Heading to 79s I'm gonna enjoy a nice drink and dance before we get deployed again" Kix says which gets a few cheers from the others. "I'm planning on sleeping for the next few night in a real bed" Echo states which gets him a slap on the shoulder from Fives who smiles as he goes to say something only for him to be cut off by Jesse. "Can it Fives no one cares that you are going to find a lay" this makes the squad break into a laugh.

"What about you captain, what are you going to do with your leave" Anakin ask knowing full well where he would be heading.

"I intend to have a long hot shower and work on reports, perhaps watch a holo and then proceed to pass out" he says which gets a few groans from he others. "Come on captain you should join us at 79s for a night lighten up and maybe meet a night guy or gal, it do you and the galaxy some good" Fives says. "Not all of us are party animals on leave Fives" Echo says back to his brother.

Rex's legs tiredly carry him thought the familiar streets of Coruscant. His armor clacking as he continues up stairs case after stair case until he comes to the door to his home. He opens it quietly knowing how late it is. Walking in he closes the door and flicks the lights on to be met with the empty living room. He sighs in relief knowing that your in bed asleep.

He makes his way toward the bathroom where he discards his armor and then his blacks before climbing into the warm water. His muscles relax from the tension he didn't even know he had in them. He stands in the shower for galaxies only know how long before he feels a set of soft hands run over his shoulder blades. "Rex your home" your voice calls lightly as he leans into your touch. "I'm home cyar'ika" he says with closed eyes.

"You sound like crap rex" you say which makes him laugh lightly as he turns around to face you. His eyes reflect his affection. "I thought you were asleep" "I was but I heard you come in I wasn't going to miss seeing you" you reply as you pull him in for a kiss which makes him melt into your touch.

"Can we just stay light this for a while" he ask while wrapping his arms around you. "Ofcorse we can Rex"
