Lost in Translation
Pairing: Soldier Boy (Ben) x Female POC!Reader
Summary: Living with this man isn’t easy, and you’ve absolutely had it with him. Supe or not, you’re one step shy of kicking him out. Will he try to make it up to you?
AN: So after getting requests for a Soldier Boy x POC!Reader, I’ve had a short series in development called Unravel Me. I’m a bit stalled on the outline right now, so I thought this could be a fun way to introduce their relationship and see if you guys think I should continue with the prequel, kind of like how I did with Checkerboard and the Break Me Down-verse.
This story would take place after Unravel Me, after a fair bit of character development lol. It also fulfills a bingo square for @jacklesversebingo!
Prompt: “Whatever you’re going to ask, the answer is No!”
Song Inspo: “Damage” by H.E.R.
Word Count: 3.4K
Tags/Warnings: 18+ only! Smut, bit of dirty talk, fingering, edging, some angst, fluff and feels. The reader is a mixed race POC (Afro Latina), with textured hair.
The apartment was quiet, but not peaceful.
You were in the kitchen washing the Mt. Everest of dishes piled in the sink, partly because someone hadn’t rinsed off his own plate of carne guisada.
Ben had asked for beef for dinner yesterday, and you’d graciously delivered with your grandmother’s recipe for the stew. It was filled with chunks of tender, fall-off-your-fork beef, garlic, onions, carrots, and more—all marinated to perfection, if you said so yourself. You even added in some little yellow potatoes, both for taste and texture.
Apparently, he couldn’t be bothered to put those meaty man muscles to good use, aside from shoveling three helpings into his mouth.
A bottomless pit and a freakin’ man-child, I swear to God, you inwardly groused as you scrubbed the ceramic a bit too hard with the rough side of the sponge. No matter how many times you asked, nicely, it seemed your boyfriend couldn’t manage to pull his weight around here.
Okay, you knew his job could be demanding, but so was yours.
What the hell is this, Maid in Manhattan? Newsflash: I’ve got shit to do too!
“And I cooked!” you muttered in indignation. That reminder propelled you to scrub a bit harder. The least he could do was clean the kitchen. Or take out the trash. Or toss the laundry into the washing machine once in a while. Like you really wanted to handle his dirty boxers all the damn time.
Did he have no shame? Couldn’t he do anything for you without you having to ask him three million times?
Es que él es bruto, mija, as your Dominican grandma would say about your grandpa, often while swiping a tired hand over her long braids. Es como un animal con ropa.
Just then, you heard his heavy steps creaking on the wood floors in your bedroom. Today was his day off, so he was probably taking his sweet time rolling his ass out of bed.
Meanwhile, you were hustling to get the place at least decently clean before you got yourself together for work. The thought made you simmer as you continued to place dishes on the counter rack. Each one clacking to rest was satisfying, but it also ticked up your internal dial to a fine boil.
You heard him bang the bathroom door open and cringed internally, your teeth grinding. You’d reminded him three times already about the neighbors and the noise.
Sabes que, supe or not, I’m about to—
“Morning, sweetheart.”
Ben’s voice washed over you, deep and still a little rough with sleep as he stepped into the kitchen. His old man loafers slid against the floor with every step when he approached you from behind, and his heavy hands found a familiar resting place on the curve of your waist.
He swiped your slightly wild curls to the side and pressed a tantalizing kiss into your neck. His voice, his touch, the brief scrape of his beard; it all caused a small shiver of delight up your spine.
“Hmm, you smell good. Good enough to eat.” And he teased you with the graze of his teeth, biting gently enough where your neck met your shoulder. You flinched with half a huff, trying not to smile.
Just like that, it took the edge off your irritation…a little. You opened your mouth to reply, but before you could…
“Hey,” he said, “since you’re already up and about in here, how about some breakf—”
Your spine tightened once again.
“Whatever you’re going to ask, the answer is No!” you snapped. You moved out of his arms to grab a hand towel to dry your hands with. They were all pruny from washing dishes.
“I’m already running late. Why? Because this place is a fucking mess, and the only one who seems to care is me!” you exclaimed. First, you gestured to the dishes now drying on the rack. “Hmm?”
You then opened up the lid to the full-to-bursting trashcan. “What do you call that, huh? You said you’d take this out last night. After I asked you twice. What, was I not speaking English? Did something get lost in translation, or are you already losing your hearing? Just let me know, ‘cause I can sure as hell crank up the volume for you!”
Ben raised a brow. You read his thoughts in his surly frown. You have some fucking audacity, talking to him like that, but it’s still early. He hasn’t even had his coffee, for Christ’s sake.
If he was more awake, no doubt he’d be barking back at you. Instead, he heaved a sigh, drew closer to you and shut the trashcan lid. At least there was one lid he knew how to close.
“All right, it’s just a little mess. No need to get fucking hysterical,” he said, trying to grasp your arm to placate you. You shrugged out of his hold and crossed your arms in anger.
“Ben, it’s not just a little mess. And what is this, 1945? I’m not hysterical!”
His lips twitched at a smirk, making you even angrier. But he’d caught enough smoke from you in the past to know he didn’t want it at 8:00 in the morning. He grasped your arms and rubbed them up and down, trying to sooth you.
“Okay, okay. It’s a little early for all this Latina temper, don’tcha think?” he said, pressing a kiss to your forehead. Your gaze snapped up at him with a glare.
Oooh, this man. He knew how to get you mad fucking tight.
Not in a good way.
Instead of exploding like Mount Fuji, you kept it all under your skin. You turned away from him and aimed to continue getting ready for work, but first, you took out a Greek yogurt from the fridge and wholly ignored him taking up space in the kitchen. You wouldn’t answer him when he called your name. In fact, you were going to give him the most frigid of cold shoulders—so cold he’d get hyperthermia through that invulnerable skin.
He waylaid your plans when he grabbed your hand, swinging you back into his arms. You gasped at the suddenness of it, looking up into his cocky, charming smile. You couldn’t stare too long at his green eyes, or the rest of his handsome, bearded face. Not when he knew exactly how to use it against you.
“Don’t think that’s gonna get you out of this,” you warned him. You set your yogurt on the kitchen counter and pushed at his chest, but it was no more effective than pushing at a mountain and expecting it to move.
His hands spanned your waist, his fingers beginning to press into your soft sides. He bowed his head, brushing his lips against your neck and the shell of your ear when he said, “Out of what, baby doll? Looks to me like we can still have a good morning.”
His voice once against trilled heat and tingles through your body, but you managed to lean back, holding the pads of your fingers to his lips.
“Hey, I’m not playing around here. If we’re gonna do this,” you pointed between him and yourself, “then let me make one thing really clear. I’m not la sirvienta around here, okay? I’m not your fucking maid. I’m your girl. Your partner. And since you live here now, I’m gonna need you to do your part.”
Ben almost rolled his eyes, but you grasped his chin. He frowned at you with furrowed brows. There was a time where he would've been inclined to grab your wrist and try to intimidate you with his temper. You saw it lying in wait behind his pursed lips and irritated stare, but you weren't afraid of him. Not anymore.
“Listen to me. I get that you haven’t lived like us commoners for most of your life, but this stuff is important,” you said. You took a deep breath, and you counted to three. You met him with a calmer gaze. “Ben, I love you.”
You let go of his chin and lowered your hand, letting it splay over his chest. He softened, ever so slightly, even though his frown remained.
“I love you,” you repeated, “but I don’t need a man-child.”
"Excuse me?" he did snap this time, his hold loosening from around your waist. "The fuck did you just say?"
You narrowed your eyes right back at him.
"You heard me," you said. "I want a man. A man who's going to be my rock when I need him. Can you do that for me, like I do for you? Are you gonna be my man, or do I need to claim you as a dependent on my taxes?"
His expression sharpened again at your thinly veiled accusation…but the longer he looked into your eyes, no longer angry, but earnest and imploring, the more he actually listened to what you were saying. His jaw worked for a moment in annoyance. You subtly softened him with your hands soothing up and down his arms, a slow back and forth over solid, warm muscle.
Eventually, he was able to curb his instinct to bark a callous reply. He nodded, expelling a breath through his nose.
“Fine,” he said.
Your brows rose. “Fine?”
“Yeah,” he said flatly.
You knew it was the closest you were going to get to an agreement, as well as an apology. You were still working on that last one, but dating this man was a work in progress, for both of you. With a sigh, you patted his arms that were slowly wrapping back around you.
“Okay, I’m really running late now,” you said.
“You should probably get a move on then,” Ben said.
Still, he didn’t release you. He stared down at you with an amused smile while you struggled against his hold. You uttered a laugh.
“Babe, I need to get to work.” You leaned over and spied the oven clock. “Oh, shit! it’s almost 8:30! If I’m not there by 9:00—”
“You sure you want to go now? Tense, body all tight,” he said, his voice deep with sensuous suggestion.
His lips neared yours, but he didn’t kiss you. Not yet. His lips veered away to brush against your cheek. He inhaled deeply as he moved, taking in the floral scent of your soap, mixed with the army of products you styled your hair with, and the faint imprint of your perfume from the night before. He skimmed down your neck and along the shell of your ear.
“Wouldn’t you rather I fuck all that tension right out of you?” he offered. “Leave you nice and warm and satisfied, have that pretty pussy coming hard on my cock.”
You let out a shaky breath, closing your eyes as his filthy mouth and the timbre of his voice struck a chord through your body, tinging warm arousal between your legs. Your fingers tightened on his strong arms, digging into the fabric of his loose robe. Ben took that as a wordless confirmation. He bent at the knees and grabbed you up by your plush thighs. You wrapped your arms around his neck on instinct, with a small gasp.
But you recovered quickly. Taking his face into your hands, you met his lips roughly with yours in a devouring kiss. He set you down on the kitchen counter hard enough to make the clean dishes rattle. His hands were just as claiming as his mouth, squeezing your hips and thighs as he spread them open to make more room for himself.
While your tongue dueled with his, you shoved the robe off his shoulders, followed by his sleep shirt pooling to the floor. His hand slid under your top as well, and almost ripped it at the hem in his haste to get it up and over your head.
“Ow, ah-ow!” You giggled when the collar got caught on your hair. Ben’s breathy chuckle reached your ears. He was gentler in how he helped get the shirt off the rest of the way. Your mane of hair fell into your face, and you huffed.
Ben did you the favor of brushing the thick curls away from your eyes, tugging several strands behind your ears, even though most of them didn’t obey him. He framed your face with his big hands, and his thumbs swept along your skin, the rich complexion shining in the morning light filtering through the kitchen window.
There was more care in his touch now, his strength tempered just for you. Fond amusement colored his features. For as much shit as you gave him, you still gave him more of yourself; more of your trust, your patience...and all the rest of it. You gave him more than anyone that had come before you, and deep inside, he doubted anyone that might come after you.
You smiled up at him, a little wryly. You leaned up and met him for a gentler kiss. Your eyes fell closed at the feeling of him, and the spicy hint of his aftershave. It was a scent that often clung to his pillows. When he was gone on a mission for days on end, you wouldn’t admit to clinging to one of them to help you sleep, and make you feel safe.
“Mmm, you smell good,” you whispered. And it was true. He smelled like mint and spicy aftershave. You plied his lips with deeper kisses, licking into his mouth with a sensuous tongue, before you stole his words. “Good enough to eat.”
He uttered a groan deep in his throat. It satisfied you, enhancing the warm flood between your legs.
Fuck it. You were calling in sick today.
You drew him back into the pull of you, winding your arms around his neck and your fingers in his hair. It was getting long again, but you liked it. You liked something to hold onto, just as much as he did. Your nails brushed against his scalp, down the back of his neck, earning a hum of pleasure from him. You wound your legs tightly around his hips and invited the press of his hard cock against your throbbing core, even through your panties and pajama pants. A faltering groan caught in his chest.
“Needier that I thought this morning,” he remarked. His warm hands drifted down to cup your breasts, his thumbs brushing over dark, pebbled nipples. You sighed into his mouth in response.
You heard the cocky grin in his voice, but for once, you didn’t care. You did need him. You wanted him to fuck the stress and chaos out of you.
…Well, he’d caused most of it, but still. He was gonna damn well fix it.
And he aimed to do just that, with his hands sliding farther down your body with purpose, grabbing the waistband of your pajama pants and roughly sliding them down, along with your panties. Your bare ass felt cold against the tile counter, but you didn’t have too much time to think about it with Ben’s thick fingers probing between the wet, glistening folds of your pussy. He soon found what he was searching for, circling firmly over your clit.
Your hips raised off the counter as you whimpered against his lips and ground yourself against his hand. You broke from his kiss to bury your face in his neck. Ben’s free hand grasped your hip and pulled you right to the edge of the counter.
There he held you down, his brows furrowing in concentration. His fingers sought your entrance and slipped inside you with ease. By now, he knew what angles would have you squirming, writhing, your body arching into him, while your inner walls clenched around his hand.
“Fuck. That’s right, baby doll. I’ve gotcha,” he said roughly, continuing to fuck your pussy with his fingers. His thumb rubbed against your clit between strokes.
The coil in your lower belly began to tighten, the delicious throbbing deep inside beginning to make your thighs shake. But just as you felt yourself tipping over the edge, Ben withdrew his fingers from your sopping channel.
You struggled to catch your breath in shock. Your head raised from Ben’s shoulder to glare at him. When your mouth opened to deliver an indignant protest, he silenced you with his mouth claiming yours. Your nails bit into his shoulder in retaliation, even though you knew it wouldn’t hurt him in the slightest. In fact, it only curved his lips into a smirk against yours.
You slapped him on the shoulder, immensely frustrated, but also laughing. “You’re such an assh—”
Before you could even finish cursing him, he gathered you up again and lifted you off the counter. He walked you over to the couch in the living room. He would’ve loved nothing better than to lay you out across the two-seater table in the kitchen, but he thought the shitty old wood might just give out under the strain of him fucking you. So the living room was a close second, and in this tiny-ass apartment, it was barely a few feet more to walk.
He laid you out underneath him on couch, and it groaned and squeaked under both of your weight. You squeaked too, if for a different reason. It had Ben smirking down at you. He freed himself from the confines of his pajama pants and coated his rock-hard arousal with the leftover wetness coating his hand.
“I approve of the scene change,” you said breathlessly, once again stroking his arms. Your fingers slipped over every dip and plain of muscle.
“Didn’t think you wanted to be fucked on some cold tile,” he said, even if the sentiment behind his words warmed you. You were pretty sure he didn’t used to care about that. At least, before he met you.
He grabbed your hips, lined himself up to your entrance, and his cock breached you smoothly, pushing into you until his hips fit snugly against yours.
“Oh, fuck,” you choked out, your thighs squeezing around his frame.
“Feel good, sweetheart? All fuckin' filled up,” Ben teased, a bit breathless himself. You were a tight fucking fit. He slid out of you experimentally, drawing a moan from your lips. You nodded.
“Yeah, baby. So good,” you freely admitted, panting all the while.
Ben’s hot gaze drew over you as he continued moving hard and fast inside you. He took in your every bare curve, the way hot breaths and sexy moans fell from your lips with every thrust, the way your hair fanned out underneath you and hung off the side of the sofa cushion, the way your hands still explored him and touched him, demanding, but still loving.
For that, it was all the more tantalizing against his skin, warming even the darkest places he tried not to show you.
And every drag of his cock inside you stretched your inner walls in the most delicious of ways. It wasn’t just that he was able to fill you to the fucking brim. He also just knew his way around a woman’s body. He knew you, and he knew exactly how to make you come undone. Even quick and dirty on your couch, he made you feel brand new.
He was right, damn him.
The coil deep inside you snapped. Pleasure crested through you and made your inner walls squeeze him tight, fluttering and pulsing with warmth. You came hard on his cock, hard enough to milk his release shortly after for all he was worth.
His forearms fell to the cushion on either side of your head. You were basically being smothered, but for the moment you didn’t mind. You just held his sweat-slick body against yours while you both caught your breath, each of your heartbeats falling back into a steady rhythm.
He was always so damn warm. It was nice, considering how cold it was this winter, but the thought always made you a bit sad. It reminded you of the power housed in his chest, and every memory he caged there as well.
You laid a gentle kiss on his shoulder. In return, his lips found the side of your head and hesitated there.
“You’re not going to work,” he said. It was more an observation than anything else.
You laughed breathlessly and shook your head. “Nope.”
He nodded. “Let’s go out for breakfast.”
You could get behind that. Your kitchen was finally clean, which meant your kitchen was closed until further notice.
“Shower first,” you stipulated.
You felt Ben’s smile grow against your dewy skin. “All right.”
You sighed, and he guided you to your feet along with him. You had a feeling “breakfast” was going to be lunch by the time you and Ben finally escaped this apartment.
AN: Lol hope you had fun with this one! Let me know if you'd like to see more of these two! 💚💚
Spanish Translations:
Es que él es bruto, mija. Es como un animal con ropa.
It’s that he’s stupid, my daughter. He's like an animal with clothes.
However, “bruto” can also mean brutish, crude, and/or like a beast, so it fits in more than one way. 😂

Born Too Late - Chapter 7
pairing/au: neighbor!joel x reader // no outbreak
Warnings: MDNI!! angst, child “abandonment” (idk how else to explain forgetting Sarah at school im so sorry), mentions of sex, readers family being assholes, drinking, let me know if i missed something :)
Summary: Sarah’s mom forgets her at school, leading to a girl's afternoon. Joel still refusing to face you, makes for great conversation with Tommy. (1.5k+)
a/n: heyyyyy. *late* but as promised. this is more so a filler for next chapter which i will hopefully have within the coming days. also, love finally hanging with tommy and developing his character into more than just the drunk, in trouble younger brother. this is getting more and more traction every post or so, thank u!! its my first fic and im still v nervous but im glad you’re all enjoying it. i <3 feedback so pls feel free to always leave it. xoxox
“Okay everyone! Please dont forget about our test next Wednesday, and have a great Thanksgiving!” You yell as the bell rings, dismissing your students. Its the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and your school did early release today. Since its a holiday break, teachers can leave as soon as all students are gone, and next weeks plans are turned in.
You open your laptop to finish next weeks math lesson, and notice a new email from your dad.
Subject: Happy Thanksgiving
To: You and 15 others
You open the email and it's an attachment, a picture of your mom, dad, and your brothers and their families, all together in Spain. You scoff and delete it. Thanks for the fucking invite. Clicking back to your tab, you finish next week's lesson, adding slides to a PowerPoint, and worksheets to the file itself. You send it to the office printer, and close your laptop; tucking it away in your file cabinet. One goal you set is that work does not go home with you, especially not on holiday breaks.
You grab your bag, turn off the light, and shut the door behind you. You walk into the office and see Sarah sitting there. Weird, Joel is never late you think to yourself. “Hey Sarah!” you say, shooting her a wave. She looks up at you but doesn't wave back.
You print out your plans. All the slides, and copies of the worksheets, are stacked neatly in a manilla folder and left in your boss's box. Walking back up front, you notice Sarah is still sitting there. You walk behind the front desk and get close to the receptionist, Mrs. Johnson.
“Mrs. Johnson, Sarah is one of my students and neighbor. Has no one called about being late?”
“No ma’am.” she responds “She told me her mom was coming but we can't seem to reach her on the phone.” You look at Sarah, and then back at Mrs. Johnson, and sigh. “Yeah, Mom's a piece of work. I'll call her dad.”
You reach around in your purse, nervously pulling out your phone. “Excuse me for just a minute.” and you step into the empty conference room down the hall. You search for Joel's name in your contacts, you haven't spoken to him since you screamed at him on your porch. You click call and put the phone up to your ear. It only rings twice.
“Hey, can I call you back? I'm at work and we’re trying to wrap up so we don't have to be on-site all day tomorrow.” His voice is as smooth as molasses, but you know it isn't Joels.
“Tommy? Can you tell Joel that Sarah is still at school? Her mom never showed up.” You say, worriedly.
“What?! Goddamn it. Joel, Sarah is still at school. You need to go get-” You cut him off.
“Tommy, I can take her home. I'm still here, she's in the front office.”
“We won’t be home til’ late. I’ll come an get her, an she’ll just have to come to the jobsite with us.” The frustration in his voice is peaking out with every word.
“Tommy, realistically there is no reason for that. I live right beside Joel. I don't mind bringing her to my house, and she can just hang out until you get home. I’ve got some frozen pizza, snacks, and a TV. She’ll be fine.”
“Are you sure? I really hate to inconvenience you but it would be a tremendous help to Joel.” you’re quiet. Funny that it would help Joel but he cant even come to the goddamn phone.
“Im sure Tommy. Just have Joel call the front office and let them know she's alright to go home with me.”
“I owe ya one. Thanks pretty girl!.” and before you can correct him, he hangs up. You laugh. Hes such a flirt.
You compose yourself, putting your phone back in your bag and opening the door. By the time you’re back in the front, Mrs. Johnson is on the phone.
“Uh-huh, no worries Mr. Miller. I understand. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!” and she clicks the office phone down. She looks at you, smiling and nodding. “Come on Sarah! I'm gonna take you home.” She jumps out of her chair. “Really? Yay!!” She throws her backpack on, basically running out the door in front of you.”I've been telling my dad that I wanted to have a girls day with you but he always says you're busy. I told him you told me to come over whenever I want, even without homework but he didn't believe me.” You laugh. “Sarah, you can always come over. No matter what! You know that.” Your relationship with Sarah is slowly starting to develop more. You see her as the little sister you never had.
You start your car and plug your iPod in. “What’re you in the mood for Ms. Miller?” you ask, swirling the dial through your artists. “Do you have any Jesse McCartney?” She asks, her smile as bright as the sun. “Duh!!” You scroll to his name and click Shuffle. Leavin’ starts playing. “Do NOT tell my dad. He would die!” She says. You laugh, “Our little secret,” you say.
Once home, Sarah works on a book report for her english class. You give her some water and some chips. She finishes her snack, and puts her books back in her bag. You spend all afternoon doing whatever Sarah wants. Watching Hannah Montana, doing each other's nails, and making cookies. Before you know it, its 5:30. Sarah stirs on the couch, asking what's for dinner. “I’ve got pizza! Cheese or pepperoni?” you ask her “mmmm…. Pepperoni!” You preheat the oven, and listen for the beep.
It’s 8:30 and Sarah is asleep beside you on the couch. She was knocked out after 2 slices. Your phone beeps and you check it.
Joel: We’ll probably be here another hour or so. How’s my girl?
You missed seeing his name pop up on your phone. The butterflies you feel never go unnoticed.
You: Shes fine. She had dinner about 2 hours ago and fell asleep right after. She’s half in my lap so I can’t move, but I don’t mind.
Joel: Thanks again. Tommy will be over to get her when we finish up.
You scoff. Not even man enough to face you.
You: Okay.
You start to doze around 9. In and out of consciousness, waking every little bit to check on Sarah. You hear a knock at the door that jolts you awake. Checking the clock, its 10:00. You carefully move Sarah’s head from your let to a pillow. You quietly open the door, hoping for Joel. Unfortunately, God isnt on your side tonight, because its Tommy. You invite him in, turning the entryway light on.
“Thanks again, Joel and I really appreciate it.”
You look at him, rolling your eyes. “You, I believe. Joel? Not so much.”
“Damn diva, whats with the attitude?” Tommy says, smiling.
You weigh the pros and cons of dumping your emotions onto Tommy. And honestly, you’re at the point that you don't care. “You got a minute?” you say, walking to the fridge and grabbing 2 beers. “I always got time for you girl.” he says, swiftly. You roll your eyes again. You check to see if Sarah has moved and she's still in the same spot you’ve left her.
You start at Joel but somehow end with your crazy family. Before you know it, its borderline midnight. You and Tommy haven't stopped talking- or drinking. He realizes the time. “Shit, I better get home. Joels gonna lose his fuckin’ mind.” You gather Sarah's belongings and hand them to him. He lifts her off the couch and cradles her like a baby. “And I meant what I said about Thanksgivin’. Come join us. Joel’s smokin’ a turkey, and Ill be there, so will Sarah.” he says with a warm smile. “What about Joel's girlfriend?” you ask, trying not to hold him up but desperate for the answer. “That shit was over the minute it started.” He says laughing. You stare him down, not knowing if he is serious or not. “Don't look at me like that, Im serious. Come over, bring some beers and a side. It’ll be great.” He walks out the door, Sarah in his arms and her backpack on his back.
You fall asleep, weighing the options of Thanksgiving at the Millers. You wonder if Joel even knows he invited you. You want to call him, you want to hear his voice. The way his pet names for you roll off his tongue with his southern drawl. The way he looks into your eyes when you’re moaning his name over and over. The way he holds you when you cum. You turn your light off and drift into a slumber so deep, you don’t even realize it came. Thoughts of Joel bleeding into your dreams, making you smile in your sleep.

VERY old and uncooked au I have where Viktor (and eventually jayce) end up working for Silco.
PART 1 - VIKTOR (childhood, adolescence, survival)
Singed actually takes the child in. Yeah I know Viktor technically HAS parents but we've never seen em in the show so I'm ignoring them
So Viktor now lives + works for singed. He gets over his morals real quick when faced with a fully equipped laboratory. He's a child, okay? He gets excited and is eventually groomed (I don't mean romantically, just like molded) by singed into agreeing + obeying all the things the older man tells him. Silco joins in on the part later and toys with his brain as best as he can
Singed uses him as a bargaining chip with Silco. An investment, if you will.
A bit of a "future promise" thing. Viktor actually agrees to this because he knows it's the best shot he's got. All the years living alongside Singed have made him into a more cynical/realistic person. He's 13 and already grumbles at "kids these days"
And Silco is an opportunistic man. He looks at this young, blooming genius and goes "yeah, why not? He is your problem, though. Have some money and make me a bomb"
Viktor also gets a pretty decent gun and shooting lessons. His aim is decent enough. He also hangs around sevika A LOT. He recognizes her as the strongest, safest individual if a fight breaks out and tells her ad much. She won't admit it but the praise feels good. She allows him to hover around and he helps her with small things like lighting hee cigarettes or refilling her flask. It's a symbiotic relationship where they both look at each other dead in the eye when someone is saying stupid shit.
So Viktor is like 15 and suddenly faced with even MORE power and recognition, even MORE fundings and accomodations.
This boy pours his life and time into making weapons. His dreams of being a scientist are slowly forgotten as both Singed and Silco effectively turn him into their perfect little genius.
They turn his desire to help against himself, telling him that the only way the under city will ever get better is if they go against piltover and win (which yeah I mean it kinda makes sense) and just general promises and such
Silco is genuinely surprised by how inventive the kid can be, and in return Viktor appreciates the man's offers and words for what it is: a trap he's wilfully walking in.
Silco does NOT feel any affection for the kid. At least not a lot more than he does for sevika or any other loyal worker. He is amused by his intelligence and somewhat entertained by his ideas. He seems Viktor as more of a small dog he's raising, expecting him to develop sharper and sharper fangs. He does care for Viktor in the "one of my youngest workers is more efficient and savvy than five of yours" way
Viktor doesn't feel any affection for Silco, either. He's a really down-to-earth kid, has lived in the fissures all his life and has been coached by singed into how to navigate the under city. He knows singed doesn't really trust the man and doesn't plan on doing so himself. He does love the opportunity he's given, but knows damn well that it's all done for a higher reason.
He does feel a connection with singed, though. It's mutual in a way. More of a mentor-mentee thing than any paternal/familiar relationship, but they're both satisfied with it. Singed respects Viktor and treats him as an equal, which also means he can a bit too harsh on what is essentially still a fragile teen.
They are protective of Viktor only in the way one is protective of their own gun
PART 2 - VIKTOR (last of his teen years, young adulthood, rage)
EVENTUALLY Viktor manages to worm his way into the academy (in the same way he did in canon) while hiding from Silco, Singed and Sevika, and is, instead, rejected. Heimerdinger is too weary of Viktor and his general attitude (for a good reason) and plans on having him interrogated. When he tries to get Viktor to walk alone into a room with him, Viktor panics and starts stuttering out explanations. He knows his position in the under city is conditional. Knows the leash that Silco has around him. The academy could be his safe haven and now he's losing it.
Heimerdinger does his best to try and calm him down, however, every word he says makes the situation worse. He's so clearly out of touch, promising things that could never be done.
Viktor is under a lot of pressure and just starts spiraling. Everything the yordle says makes things worse and worse. The commotion calls the school guards attention and Viktor gets almost thrown in jail, all while heimerdinger tries to tell the guards to let him go. Viktor eventually manages to sneak out but fucks his leg up even more in the process.
He returns "home" and, refusing to cry for such a thing, turns his sadness into bright, burning indignation. Silco might be an idiot, he realizes, but he's right about some things. He burns down the uniform after ripping it into shreds.
After all of this, he abandons any dream of ever getting out. Singed looks at him knowingly, tells him that sneaking around is a fine art he hasn't mastered yet, and leaves. Silco welcomes him back with a satisfied smile, and a "see, boy? I was right"
Silco isn't killing Viktor for his betrayal because he smells the heartbreak and KNOWS that this is the time to attack if he wants that boy to be on his side for the rest of his life. Sevika isn't even mad. Just kinda disappointed.
And it WORKS. Viktor is devastated and isolated, and Silco effectively positions himself as the only current logical option. Viktor knows that this is all a shit show but decides that there's nothing to lose by working for the biggest kingpin on the city
Years go by, Viktor becomes part of silco's inner gang. He develops what could be seen as a friendship with sevika. They drink together every so often, trash-talking the rest of the henchmen in hushed whispers in between assignments. She tries to give him life advice in cryptic ways. He kinda gets it. Most of the time.
He's also a bit of a slut. I mean he's young, hot, kinda part of Zaun's elite, smart... yeah he's getting around. This part is important I swear. No it's not I just want Viktor to get it on. He's constantly sneaking pretty boys in and out of wherever he's staying at that week (idk where the fuck sevika sleeps. Do silco's henchmen just sleep in his house??? Does he provide apartments?? I need to know)
People in the under city actually start *talking* to Viktor as he gets older, realizing that he's a bit less violent than the rest of silco's thugs. This is always weird to him but he endures it for the sake of staying on top of what's being said in the city.
He buys from benzo frequently, and Benzo tolerates him because once, very slowly and in a hushes tone, he heard Viktor tell Ekko to never work for anyone with a shark aquarium.
PART THREE - MEETING JAYCE.
He's in the very same shop when he meets jayce.
He goes "yeah I could get him to suck me off probably" and tries to approach
And then jayce pays in GOLD and DOESN'T HAGGLE
And he realizes that this idiot is a piltie. He also realizes that whatever the fuck he just bought could've been useful for him and silco will not like it if a PILTIE out of everyone takes them. He literally gets in between him and the door with absolutely no idea of what he's going to do (there is absolutely no way he's upping that payment sorry silco you are no match for the Kirammans)
There is no time and he defaults to "oh this is my bedroom" mode.
Cue him saying something like "I've never seen such a pretty face in this store. Are you from around here, darling?"
Ekko is gagging in the background.
They flirt yada yada I have the scene but it's too long to write here. U get the idea. I'd anyone wants to read that ask me but for now just use your imagination
Viktor offers Jayce to come back with him to his house. Ask this is happening the kids are staging the heist.
They make out a bit, Jayce tells Viktor all about his theory (which is arguably hotter for Viktor) and shows him his notes (because obviously he carries his journal with him)
Viktor is BLOWN AWAY by this. He gets all worked up. Never felt this horny before. They discuss for a while, and Viktor decides that THIS is something he can stand behind. Actual discoveries, not just drawing blueprints after blueprint of the same fucking thing
Really how many ways can one design a weapon in
Anyways
Viktor sort of mildly drugs jayce and steals three of the shiny orbs and then wakes Jayce up and tells him that this was delightful and such.
PART FOUR - Hey Silco Can We Adopt This Boy. For Science
The heist happens the very same way. Viktor hears about it, about the trial, and decides that all these years of work should get him some privileges
He has his very first actual fight with Silco and Singed about it, but they eventually and very reluctantly agreed to give him two bodyguards so he can go play prince and break jayce out of jail.
Silco knows that even a worm will turn. If Jayce does agree to work for them, then they get another good worker. If not, they can always kill him. He's never heard Viktor this adamant about someone before, and damn he's seen the boy walk around with some pretty faces. Maybe this Jayce fella truly is smart.
Viktor breaks jayce out do NOT ask me how #thepoweroflove or whatever. The henchmen get to punch enforcers so they're happy about it.
The "am I interrupting?" Scene happens. It's also too long so.
It takes Viktor a while to convince Jayce to, yk, betray his country and leave everything he's ever known behind, but Jayce was literally about to kill himself and Viktor is talking about change and help and people who actually need it (lies) and he looks so beautiful under the moonlight and he remembered him. So. Really what can one realistically do in this situation if not agree.
They rush back, Jayce leaves a hasty suicide note and says he will drown himself in the river, they break into heimerdinger's room via breaking down the fucking door, steal all the equipment they can carry (henchmen & co brought some bags okay??)
When Mel arrives they're gone. She calls for the guards to come but they're long gone (there might be a motorcycle involved. Cyclists Viktor... Yeah)
PART FIVE - JINX AND JAYCE
Viktor shows up and finds out that silco has adopted a child. Also Sevika doesn't have an arm. Also Vander is dead. So is Benzo. Which is a bummer.
Jayce hates everything that's going on around him buts this man is SUICIDAL he's just kinda going with the flow. Having him gives Viktor his backbone and morals back. Slowly. Ver slowly.
Hextech develops WAY slower. Like they're working in a drug den there's absolutely no way there's the same conditions. They're doing their best though.
Jayce Is actually really impressed by shimmer and how it can "help" people. He's gaslighting himself ATP and everyone else is enabling him.
Also eventually Silco also gives Viktor a laced brace that makes him mildly addicted to shimmer. Viktor is clever enough to realize what's going on but also experienced enough to know that refusal would be seen as an offense. He takes the brace on and off with his own prototypes. Sevika and him both know they're just digging themselves into a deeper hole.
Silco actually tries to kill jayce one because he was getting too fucking annoying, but Jinx steps in. He reminds him of claggor (in a way). She claims that they're both her friends and silco just seethes in silence.
They help raise her. Kinda.
I wrote all of this so I could successfully say that they have a tea party with jer
THEY LOVE LIL JINX OKAAY. Specially jayce. He takes all his emptiness and tries to fill it with love for her and Viktor, the only two people he feels are kind of honest to him
Also Jayce being jealous of the fact that Viktor got around, specially when he has the audacity to give powder boy's advice (sevika is a STONE TOP LESBIAN you can NOT tell me anything else) right in Jayce's face. Yeah. Miscommunication. Falling in love. Devotion and guilt. Feelings of owing. Hesitant kisses and never said words. YEEES. I know it's a bit tropey but I like it so. Yeah.
Also both Jayce and Vik have long hair. Jinx insisted they let it grow like hers. Jayce's actually reaches his shoulder plates/mid back while Viktor keeps it shoulder length, just long enough to tie it. I think. Still haven't decided since long hair Jayce is too hard to mentally picture but I know he would look GOOD
Yes this also means that Jayce and Vi meet even earlier. They take a look at each other as they both try to calm down jinx and Become Best Friends™
Caitlyn always has a heart attack because YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD. She, like Vi, goes "yeah silco is definitely keeping my sister/brother captive" and they're both like You Will Not Believe This.
Viktor doesn't join them in their adventures because he is Not jumping around the roofs. He uses a cane. Leave him alone jinx no he can't climb the stupid ass tower.
Jinx and Jayce become a sort of "ground control" thing. Jayce is BUFFED that man can stand his own in a fight. He's not as quick or flexible but he makes up for it in pure absolute brawn. They're not actually doing anything useful they're just entertaining Jinx every so often.
Idk guys this au is consuming my brain.
I have more ideas but this was way too long already
If u read this far u can actually ask for a small scene on the au or add an idea and I'll write it for u
#jayce talis#jayvik#jayce x viktor#arcane au#jayvik au#jinx arcane#arcane silco#silco and jinx#sevika arcane#Arcane#please don't flop#i wish my mind was this talkative in the middle of essays#DOES ANYONE SEE THE VISION#yes this is technically a corruption au ig#i have no idea how s2 would fit in here#i just want jayvik to be actual mad scientists yk. like yes I need to commit Several Crimes

Code Daddy Supreme
Sebastian Stan x Reader Unhinged One Shot
Summary : Sebastian is reader's adorkable, chaotic yet cute boyfriend. One day when reader is struggling to fix broken code in her web application project, Sebastian offered to help but instead of helping he is making things worse.. or is he..?
A/N: This is just something I wrote out of a fever dream while being in a sleep deprived, stress induced state as I try to finish my web application project (yes, I don't just write fanfics, I write code full time XD) . It's based on my life as a web developer so excuse me if I include some codes here. But I promise they're human readable ;) Seb here is a funny, adorkable, chaotic mess of a boyfriend but we love him anyway ;) Enjoy and please vote and comment, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
Warning: none at all, just an all out funny, unhinged and ridiculous story, somewhat like a sitcom XD
Word count: 944 words
Read more Sebastian and Bucky one shots here
---
It was supposed to be a quiet Sunday. Y/N was curled up on the couch, tackling a web development project that was due the next day. She was in the zone—until, of course, the code rebelled.
“WHY?!” she shouted at her laptop, yanking her headphones off. “Why won’t you just WORK?”
From the other room, Sebastian burst in wearing pajama pants, no shirt, and wielding a spatula like a sword. “Who dares disturb my pancake zen?”
“This stupid project!” Y/N growled, gesturing wildly at her laptop. “Every time I try to fix one thing, another error pops up! It’s like Whack-a-Mole, but with coding and existential dread!”
Sebastian leaned casually against the couch. “Want me to fix it?”
She blinked at him. “No.”
“Yes.”
“No, Seb. The last time you ‘helped,’ my laptop shut down and played a MIDI version of “Highway to Hell” on repeat.”
“And did it sound amazing?” he asked, grinning.
“That’s not the point!”
But it was too late—Sebastian had already plopped down beside her, cracking his knuckles with the bravado of someone who doesn’t know what an IDE is but thinks they could totally rebuild Google.
“Alright,” he said. “Time for me to hack the planet.”
Y/N groaned. “Seb, no..”
“Seb, YES!”
He grabbed her laptop and began typing with the unhinged enthusiasm of a mad scientist who’d just discovered how to turn broccoli into candy. His first move? Replacing all her variable names with things like `CaptainFixThis`, `ErrorWho?`, and `TotallyNotABug`.
“Sebastian,” she said, rubbing her temples. “What are you doing?”
“Rebranding,” he said, as if it were obvious.
“You can’t just rename everything and hope for the best!”
“Oh, can’t I?” he shot back, now aggressively typing.
He added emojis to every line of code:
```
function saveTheDay() { 💪🔥
console.log("Sebastian is here to fix it! 😎✨");
return true;
}
```
“SEBASTIAN. WHY ARE THERE EMOJIS IN MY CODE?”
“Because the code needs to feel appreciated,” he said, completely serious, adding even more lines:
```
// You’re doing amazing, sweetie
function runCode() {
console.log("You’re the best, code! You can do it!");
}
```
“Seb, stop typing compliments!” Y/N shrieked.
“This is important!” he shouted back. “The code needs to feel supported!”
She couldn’t help but facepalm.
At one point, he opened a separate file titled `BackupPlan` and wrote this:
```
if (everythingFails) {
summonTheAvengers();
}
```
“Seb, that’s not even real code!”
“It is now,” he said, smirking like he’d just reinvented the wheel.
He then proceeded to write what he called "the ultimate fix." :
```
while(true) {
console.log("Just vibe and it’ll work.");
everythingIsFine = true;
}
```
“That’s an infinite loop!” Y/N screeched.
“Exactly,” he said. “Infinite solutions for infinite problems.”
She lunged for the laptop, but he was too quick. He held the laptop above his head while somehow still typing.
“SEBASTIAN, GIVE IT BACK!”
“NOT UNTIL I FINISH!” he yelled, putting the laptop on his lap and turned his back on her. “TRUST THE CHAOS!”
“I definitely do NOT trust the chaos!” she protested as she peeked over his shoulder, trying to see what he was doing all the while her stomach was filled with dread.
Then came the pièce de résistance. He opened Google, typed “how to fix broken code,” ignored all the actual solutions, and clicked on a forum post titled: “Sacrifice to the Debugging Gods.”
“Uh… what are you doing?” she asked nervously.
“Something foolproof,” he said, grabbing a nearby candle.
“Seb, no—”
But he was already chanting nonsense in a deep, dramatic voice. “O GREAT SPIRIT OF JAVASCRIPT.. I OFFER THIS SACRED WAX STICK IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR MERCY!”
Before she could stop him, he blew out the candle, slammed her laptop shut, and whispered, “It is done.”
“Sebastian, I SWEAR TO—”
“Wait for it.”
With a flourish, he reopened the laptop and hit “run.”
And then… everything broke.
Her once-polished website now looked like a clown vomited onto a computer screen. Bright neon colors, text bouncing like a screensaver from the ‘90s, and a random image of Sebastian flexing in a Captain America hoodie plastered across the footer.
“What…What the actual.. WHAT DID YOU DO?!”
“Relax,” he said, unbothered. “This is just step one.”
“Step one of what?!”
“Recalibrating the space-time continuum,” he said, completely deadpan.
At that exact moment, her apartment lights flickered, her phone started playing the “Avengers” theme unprompted, and—somehow—her toaster beeped, despite not being plugged in.
“Sebastian,” she whispered, wide-eyed, “I think you actually broke reality.”
He looked smug. “Told you I was good.”
Before she could yell, her laptop chimed cheerfully. The browser opened, and her website was… perfect. No bugs, no errors. Everything worked.
She stared at the screen. Then at Sebastian. Then back at the screen. “HOW?!”
He shrugged, grabbing the spatula again. “Sometimes, babe, you just have to trust the chaos.”
“But—Seb—this makes NO SENSE!”
“Neither does Bucky surviving a fall off a mountain, but here we are,” he said, kissing her forehead. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to finish my pancakes. You’re welcome.”
She sat there, frozen, as her laptop hummed happily like nothing had happened. The lights stopped flickering, the toaster went silent, and the “Avengers” theme faded into nothingness.
She stared after him, still holding the now-functional laptop. “I live with an actual lunatic.”
From the kitchen, Sebastian’s voice rang out. “You live with a genius! Love you!”
For the rest of the day, she tried to figure out Sebastian’s chaotic “fix.” Meanwhile, he strutted around the apartment wearing sunglasses and calling himself “Code Daddy Supreme.”
The kicker? She later discovered the reason the code worked was because Sebastian had accidentally deleted an entire block of problematic logic while trying to format a smiley face.
As for the weird flickering of lights, the “Avengers” theme playing from her phone and the beep from her toaster? Well, not everything can be explained and she thought maybe, just maybe, Sebastian really did recalibrate the space-time continuum.

16k words below....
─ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ♡ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──
The fire popped and crackled as Crosshair added another log to the roaring hearth.
With the rain pattering outside, and the delicious warmth radiating from the fireplace, you stretched like a loth cat in the pile of exotic furs Hunter and Crosshair had collected over the months here on Zyphor. You twisted and mewled feeling every tight muscle relax as you settled back down in your comfort spot.
With the help of your alphas, you had created a permanent nest in the center of your oversized domicile.
Located just a few minutes outside of the little developing clone village, deep in the uncharted parts of the forest planet, Tech had designed a perfect home for you and your pack.
With one central space for all of your to share with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and of course your favorite thing on the planet, the huge nest full of luxurious furs absolutely covered in all of your combined scents. The main communal space then broke off into six smaller domiciles, each your own private quarters.
There was even one for Echo when he’d visit from Teth.
Tech made sure everything was planned accordingly in this little settlement.
Wrecker and Hunter had worked tirelessly collecting materials and utilizing the construction droids to build your home relatively quickly. You used collected rainwater to plumb the home, and wood from the forest to keep you warm.
It was lovely.
Growing up on Coruscant, you were thrilled to experience real rain. When the synthetic weather centers had scheduled a rainstorm it was always your favorite, but now you had it everyday. It was calming and peaceful here.
You were over the moons. The boys explained how the rain was also a comfort to them. Thats all they knew in their short youth. To have it now daily pattering against your shelter, you all felt very at home.
Tech even invented a hydro electric water mill to power the settlement. The intricate grid system with back up generators kept you all illuminated and warm.
You still couldn’t believe this was your every day life… Zyphor was a dream.
You even requested a garden and a green house which the boys set up instantly. Of course Tech made sure the internal growing system was immaculate. Creating an extremely viable growing zone for some of the warmer dryer species of fruits.
You had never gardened before and it was entertaining to watch your seedlings mature. Your job on the homestead was to study gardening and farming practices.
You were put in charge of the produce production for your little pack. So far you were killing it. With your background in the sciences, you found it to be quite enjoyable and easy to grasp and pretty methodical.
Snapping back to the present, you studied Crosshair as he used the iron poker to adjust a few logs before carefully placing the new ones on top to feed the flame. You smiled seeing how his lean figure was beginning to fill out more as he was able to eat more and destress. Though, his body seemed to become even more muscular from all the hard manual labor they had been doing.
He looked healthy.
It made your heart flutter.
Crosshair had been assigned to learning how to hunt and track game with Hunter. Their whole lives, they had only been trained to track targets for their missions, but luckily they were able to apply that knowledge and experience to their growing hunting skills.
They were an unstoppable team. With Hunter’s abilities and Crosshair’s sharpshooting, you knew you’d never go hungry.
And that being said, it was discovered that Wrecker is a remarkable cook. Once he stepped into the kitchen the first night to cook up the kill, you all learned he had a natural talent for taste and preparations.
He has managed to keep you all satisfied and filled with yummy dishes night after night. Though he groans about lacking his usual snacks, he does enjoy the fruit you had gathered and even slimmed down a bit too. He looked more fit than you had ever seen, and he even carried a certain glow about him now realizing his passions for food.
Wrecker also was in charge of the shaak ranch. His gentle demeanor was very appealing to the imported animals. He built the corral where the animals resided munching on grass during the day. You even made Wrecker his own sunhat which he wears proudly as he shepherds the animals during the day.
He looked just like a ranch hand… a sexy ranch hand.
That thought stirred something devious and lusty inside you. You sighed happily, allowing your thoughts to drift to Hunter. He too had filled out a bit from de-stressing. Hunter had taken to the three orbak you also keep with the shaak. Those monstrous creatures seemed to like him too as he utilized them for his hunting trips with Crosshair. Their muscular hooves legs seemed to carry the two alphas effortlessly for hours on end.
You giggled when remembering when they were trying to figure out how to ride them the first few times. Crosshair had complained the whole time, nearly getting bucked off while Hunter took to it like a natural. You joked that he could talk to them to Crosshair’s chagrin.
Crosshair has since ceased his complaining and muted it down to an annoyed grunt every time the animal acts on its own accord.
You smiled at the memories.
The you had to stifle your laughter remembering when Rex and the boys brought in a shipment of tip-yip chicks. They were bestowed upon you and put in your charge to take care of and raise for eggs and meat. On one particularly rainy day, one had escaped your coop, and you were forced to chase it down following it all the way to the barn where you had tripped and landed face first in a pile of thick mud with a loud splat.
You could still hear your boys howling with laughter as you sat up wiping your eyes trying to see where that damn bird went.
…Tip Yip had never tasted so good…
You bit your tongue forcing down the giggle.
Then that leaves Tech.
The man had never been so thrilled to be involved in a project in his entire life. Planning an entire village with the details all the way down to the wiring of each domicile had the man busy and mentally stimulated. You loved watching the way the gears were turning in his very brilliant head. Even preparing for weather disasters and all the variables none of you had considered.
It was fascinating to watch.
On the top of his list of completed projects was your packs home, the shaak barn, the orbak stables, your high tech green house and garden, the hydro-electric mill, and then finally the small medical clinic and research lab.
With the help of the boys on Teth, they managed to set up an entire fully operational research facility with everything you could possibly need. Everything was down to your specific requests and that is where you spent most of your time these days…
“I can feel you thinking.” Crosshair closed the metal grate separating you from the blazing fire.
You rolled over to face him, “You know what I’m thinking about.” You burrowed into the plush fur beneath you.
“Research?” He raised an exasperated brow.
“Mhmm.” You smiled sweetly.
“Darling, I appreciate what you’re doing more than you could ever know.” He knelt down next to you running his fingers over your jaw, “But you don’t need to stress. It will happen when it happens. You need to relax and spend more time here with us.” He gestured to the lovely home.
“And on your cock?” You smirked as he laid down beside you, naked as you.
He hummed, “Yes, and other things.” He chuckled into your neck where he kissed his mark on your skin. You shuttered.
“Rex is supposed to be coming today with the last ingredient I need for the serum. I can’t stop thinking about it and running variables in my head.” You sighed nuzzling his neck.
“Then I’m not doing my job correctly.” He pushed you onto your back and used his warm hards to spread your already messy thighs.
He purred seeing the mess he had already made of you. You absolutely dripped with his cum and were still full with it, dripping languidly. He hummed and gathered up the cum that had spilled from you and pushed it back inside of you making you cry out at the sudden intrusion.
You puffy cunt fluttered at the familiar feeling of his long fingers soothing your insides. You clenched around him making him groan as he slowly and deliberately massaged that special spot inside you that made you whine pathetically and sprawl out for him even more, begging him to play with you.
Crosshair was always pleased by this reaction. You could feel the approval through the bond.
He loved making an absolute mess of you especially with the help of his twin. The three of you had something special and you quickly realized they shared a desire to experiment with your body in ways you didn’t even consider.
“The rain is picking up.” He said softly leaning down to press a kiss to your lips.
You turned your head to face the window noticing the droplets coming down harder, “Hunter’s going to be soggy by the time he gets back.”
Crosshair let out a breathy laugh, “I’m sure he’s on his way back. I want you one more time before I’m forced to share you.”
You rolled your eyes playfully knowing he has absolutely no problem sharing, but you got the picture.
You ran your fingers over his tight muscular stomach as he settled down between your legs on his haunches. You felt the heat of his hard cock resting against your leaking opening and felt your mouth water. He leaned forwards, letting out a happy huff before cradling your head and shoulder blades lovingly.
He wanted it soft and sweet… your body warmed.
With a little playful nip on your part, it made him smirk before leaning forwards and breaching your walls with his stiffened cock.
You both let out a content sigh being locked together again. The sensation of becoming one was comforting.
You took solace being under your mates. You knew you were safest in their arms and that feeling never got old.
Crosshair even let a whimper slip out as he slid against your walls feeling your warmth and tightness. The man couldn’t get enough. He’d happy die here just like this, if he got to feel you one last time.
You fiercely clung to him as he made love to you. He pushed inside rhythmically rubbing your scalp and shoulders lovingly with his work hardened fingers. You grabbed at him as the pleasure spiked and you were beginning to feel yourself twitch around him.
You couldn’t help but grasp at his growing hair. With a firm hand, you fisted his silky silver strands at his nape making him hum as you tugged deliciously. He shuddered as you mewled into his skin.
Lost in the essence of Crosshair, you didn’t even hear the front door open.
“So while I’m getting soaked out in the rain, you two are staying nice and comfortable inside?” Hunter’s playful tone made both you and Crosshair stop your love making to look up at the man standing in the door way.
He flopped down a dead nexu the size of tech on the kitchen counter with a wet splat. Hunter shook out his hair like a corellian hound letting the water fly everywhere.
“Just taking care of our girl, vod.” Crosshair continued his lazy thrusts looking up at his older batch-mate, “If you dry off you’re welcome to join us.” His drawl was lust riddled. So much for not wanting to share, you smirked.
Hunter didn’t have to be told twice. He set down firepuncher on the riffle rack by the front door and yanked off his sloshy boots tossing them into the mud room.
You giggled watching him trot and disappear into his quarters leaving a wet sock print trail across the floor.
Crosshair shook his head playfully before resuming your previous activities. His pace picked up and his hand in your hair tugged you back, forcing your chin up where he met your lips with a searing passionate kiss. His hips made a sharp thrust making you cry out into him. His body moved smoothly against yours wringing out the pleasure he so desperately wanted from you, and you melted into his movements, rolling against him in sync meeting him thrust for thrust.
“Fuck, little one.” He broke the kiss to breathe and nip at your ear.
“Cross!” You whined feeling yourself starting to tire with your impending orgasm.
“I can feel you’re close,” He used a hand to help you roll your hips into him, “C’mon omega, cum for me.”
You knew he was using your designation against you. He knew you’d die before wanting to let him down. Thankfully for your alpha, you were right on the crest and his words pushed you right over the edge.
You moaned out a broken cry as you writhed against the furs.
Crosshair smirked before leaning forwards to burry his nose in your neck before spilling inside you with a reserved grunt.
The sniper stilled, keeping himself buried inside your warmth as he felt you start to come down from the aftershocks with little adorable twitches. He sweetly pushed your hair from your face and pressed little kisses to your nose and forehead.
Just then Hunter returned, naked as the day he was decanted.
Even the damp hair made him look fresh out of the tube. You peered over Crosshair to watch him approach, where he knelt down onto the furs and crawled over to the two of you.
Immediately you sensed something different through the bond. His lust was stronger than usual and you could tell by the darkened look in his eyes that he was still coming down from the high of the hunt… you could almost taste his adrenaline on your tongue.
You felt your body begin to react on instinct as you bared your neck and his mark to him. Crosshair sat up to pull out of you making a devious sound as he watched the flood of cum pour out of you. You squirmed at the sudden emptiness wishing for him to have stayed.
You let out a pitiful whine as Hunter practically shoved Crosshair out of the his way before seizing your ankle in his grip and dragged you towards him until you were settled against his lap.
“Don’t break her.” Crosshair recovered and flopped over into the pile of cushions to watch.
You squealed liking the way Hunter man handled you, and reminded you of his superior strength. You continued to bare your neck and arch your back showing him your belly as an offering of submission.
Hunter scented your arousal making him give you a mischievous smirk.
You blushed realizing how obvious the change in your scent was. You sighed, you couldn’t hide anything from the tracker. He had all your scents memorized down to the fine details.
Crosshair flopped over to the side pulling a blanket over his lap and settled into the cushions. They had proven very necessary during the group sessions, and you were more than happy to have such a massive and plush nest to call your own. You looked over at the sniper and bit your lip, you still loved knowing he was always watching you. It made your heart flutter as he gave you a heated smile.
Hunter gained your attention again by pushing both of your knees up to your chest roughly and putting your ruined cum-covered pussy on full display for him. You could feel Crosshair oozing out of you and down the crack of your ass as Hunter pushed your legs further up.
You chewed your bottom lip as he looked at you. He loved you like this. Already lost to the lust, soft and pliant. You were always more bendable after your first round anyways.
Hunter liked to put you in some unique positions now that you all had more time to explore one another. But this time it seemed that he wanted you close.
He wanted the passion that Crosshair had charged the air with.
In an instant, he had you up and bent over at the waist with your face pushed into the furs.
He pressed your spine downwards putting you in a perfect presenting position making you cry out.
You heard him making an approving grunt as he looked at your perfect trembling form before wasting no more time before he surged forwards and breached your opening before sliding all the way flush until he was nudged up against your cervix.
You cried out pushing against him, but he pinned you down firmly.
His thrusts were near animalistic as he rutted into you. Your hands flailed against his thighs trying to find purchase but he didn’t let up. His hands firmly grabbed onto your hips pulling you back onto him like you were nothing more than a toy.
You squealed as he continued to push against your cervix like he was trying to knot you through sheer will.
As you tried to sit up, he shoved you back down again and barked out an order to stay still. You whimpered and willed yourself to relax into his punishing pace as he took you.
Briefly, you heard Crosshair’s dark chuckle from over on the couch as you were forced into submission.
Fuck, you loved when Hunter finally let go of his responsible self and let the inner wolf emerge. Whatever the Kaminoans enhanced him with definitely had a darker wild side. Tech speculated this after the incident on Crait. But now that you’ve had more quality time with the ex-sargent, you knew he had quite the hunter/prey kink.
You saw the way his eyes had dilated when Crosshair had told him about the chase through the woods on Naboo. The way you could feel his insides stirring and his lust for the chase trickle through the bond.
You knew exactly what to do in order to get Hunter to fuck you like an animal, and thats exactly what you wanted.
The arm pinning your shoulders to the floor suddenly lifted and a rough hand was snapped around the back of your neck where he yanked you up and forced you into a deep arch as he brought your ear closer to his mouth.
Your arms scrambled at the air trying to find something to support you on, but Hunter held you in his grasp like a limp tooka.
“M’perfect little’mega.” His words were slurred as he lowly rumbled into your ear. You felt his fangs brush up against your ear and you moaned at the sensation, “Could mate you all over again and breed this little cunt.”
You gasped at his words and brought your arms up and behind you to grapple at his body to support yourself.
“Pump you full till your round with my pups.” He growled making you absolutely vibrate. It didn’t take long for your inner omega to come to life and purr against your alpha.
He hummed in delight, “You like that ‘mega?” He slithered a hand down between your legs to find your clit and start rubbing little circles that made you clench down on him.
You’ve never heard any of them mention pups before. Well aside from Crosshair but that was because of external circumstances.
This was different, you could feel Hunter’s want to breed you through the bond. It was as strong as your connection, and you knew in this moment thats what his inner alpha craved. The man wanted to be a father, he wanted you in a way that comforted your omega and you absolutely melted into him.
You nodded vigorously making him smile wolfishly as he resume his lethal pounding.
You moaned and cried out taking everything Hunter was giving you, before he released your neck and you fell forwards onto your hands as he then lifted and bent one of his legs for support to reach even deeper inside of you. You clenched down around him twitching and fighting against the overstimulation as he kept playing with your clit.
You weakly lifted your head and looked at Crosshair with bleary eyes which he returned with a heady smirk.
Hunter leaned down whispering, “Your next heat, you’re mine… I’m going to fuck a pup into you, little one, just like this.” He thrusted roughly making you yelp.
You felt yourself nearing your orgasm, and suddenly your forearms gave out before you collapsed into the furs and screamed as you came. Your eyes rolling into the back of your head as pure ecstasy overtook your entire body.
That sensation must have traveled through the bond because Hunter came with a loud grunt after you, filling your pussy to the absolute brim. With a small push of his hips, your combined cum oozed out the sides around his cock making him push small little thrusts inside you despite both of your overstimulation.
When Hunter dismounted you, you collapsed into a boneless heap with a deflated huff.
Crosshair tossed a clean towel at his brother and watched as Hunter nudged you over onto your back where he cleaned you up diligently before throwing the used towel somewhere to the side.
“I’m going to start the fresher.” Hunter sounded half delirious as he stood up on wobbly feet before setting his course for the bathroom.
You only had a moment alone before Crosshair was at your side to give you some much needed cuddles.
You could almost feel his mischievous little smile as you blinked your eyes open to look up at him.
“What?” You asked closing your eyes again.
You felt his hand slide over the top of your rib before lightly cupping the side of your breast before squeezing lightly.
“Nothing.”
You heard his smile making you crack an eye open at him suspiciously.
He rolled his eyes playfully, “I felt you through the bond, ad’ika… You want Hunter to breed you.”
You squirmed, “Don’t say it like that.”
He chuckled, “Okay fine, you want Hunter to knock you up?”
You gasped and feigned offense, “Crosshair…”
“He’s starting to give me ideas.” His fingers pinched your nipple making you arch your back before traveling south where he lightly tickled over your belly.
“Stop triggering my instincts.” You fussed and pouted.
His fingers went back to your tit to play with your nipple again, “You like when I trigger your instincts.” He smiled wolfishly.
You huffed letting him continue his onslaught onto your sensitive tits as he bent down to kiss and suck on them making you mewl and press even further into his attentions.
“Personally, I want a girl, mesh’la.” He released your poor nipple and looked up at you with a mischievous glint.
You felt your heart accelerate and your breathing shallow. Crosshair wanted a girl? You had to fight back the giddy grin as you looked up at him. Your mind instantly went to thinking about a little platinum blonde, fiery girl running around and clinging to your mate calling him daddy.
You literally felt your pussy flutter wanting to make that daydream a reality right this minute.
Then your thoughts went to a sweet and pouty brunette with Hunter’s soft eyes. Her dark wavy hair cascading down her shoulders, and that signature cross-arm scowl her father always sports.
You had to take a deep breath and shake your head forcing the inner omega out of your field of thoughts.
His mischievous smile widened realizing that your instincts had been in fact triggered.
You scowled at him and smacked his shoulder making him laugh.
“I told you to stop it!” You smirked pushing him back as you sat up.
“I can’t help it ad’ika.” He purred, “Your eyes get all dilated and cute.”
You huffed.
Hunter returned crawling back into the nest before he bent down to pluck you up into his arms before carrying you into the steaming wash room.
“He plays, but his words are true.” Hunter said lowly as he opened the fresher door sitting you down gently on the warm stone floor.
“You heard all that?” You smirked.
He just tapped his ears making you smile and roll your eyes.
“Is it true?” He asked with hopeful raised brows, “You want pups?”
He couldn’t help the hand that drifted to your belly as you both stood under the stream of hot water.
Your entire body flushed at the touch.
“I-I… u-uhh yeah… yeah I think I do.” You struggled to speak and meet his soft grey brown eyes, “I like that idea.”
Hunter’s face lit up. He smiled brining you into a searing kiss. You moaned leaning into him letting your hands wanter all over his broad shoulders and back.
Hunter broke the kiss to press his forehead against yours before placing a gentle forehead kiss on your skin.
He grabbed the sponge and some soap before lathering you up and beginning his little routine of cleaning you off. You turned obediently leaning against him as he brought the sponge over your front being careful of your tender neck before dragging it down over your love bitten breasts. You bit your tongue as he brushed over your sensitive nipples.
“Of course we’d have to talk to the others. But I’m confident Crosshair is on board.” Hunter drawled nuzzling your neck affectionately.
“How would that even work?” You giggled as he practically tickled your sides with the sponge and he cleaned, “Three of you would have to abstain for probably month in order to line up my fertility cycle.” You mused thinking about all the medical windows you’d have to ensure pregnancy.
“Alright, little miss doctor brain. I can hear you overthinking” Hunter chuckled, “We’ll talk about it and see how everyone feels.”
You turned to face your mate, “Are you planning on knocking me up first, since you’re the oldest?” You poked fun at him.
“Oh, I’m definitely pulling rank in this situation.” He smirked dragging the sponge over your back and ass.
You hummed a laugh letting him finish up his scrubbing routine before turning to wash himself with the clean scented soap.
You sat under the stream of water enjoying the warmth as you watched Hunter finish up his hygiene routine.
Then you both heard a noise enter the bathroom.
“Hurry up!” Crosshair barked turning on the faucet to throw water on his face, “I’m covered in dried cum, and you two are going to use up all the hot water.”
You giggled turning to the ex-sergeant. Hunter just shrugged with a smile before rinsing off the soap and shutting off the fresher.
You opened the door to find Crosshair standing here with his arms crossed as you toweled off with Hunter.
“Finally.” He drawled before stepping inside and resuming the water flow.
“Rex is coming today with more supplies,” You reminded, “I need to go to the lab to finish a few more things before they arrive.”
“Hmm I don’t know mesh’la I think you’re technically still under Crosshair’s charge for the next few hours and it seems to be most imperative that you remain here with us. Right Cross?” Hunter shook out his hair making you squeal as droplets hit your skin.
“Affirmative.” Crosshair replied from inside the fresher.
You crossed your arms, “Guys, I need to finish this if you even want to consider having pups, you know.”
That got them.
Silence.
Hunter sighed and relented, “Fine, but at midnight, you’re mine mesh’la.”
“Yes sir.” You mock saluted before skipping out of the fresher to find your clothes.
Fishing around inside your drawers, you pull out a sweater one of the omegas in the village had knitted for you along with a pair of modified uniform pants.
You pulled the articles of clothing on and made sure to towel dry your hair the best you could knowing Tech would fuss about you catching a cold in the rain.
Then came the holster that Hunter made you swear you’d never leave the house without and the pistol you still had from the GAR days.
Just as you were about to re-enter the living room, Gonky waddled in hooting and hollering about incoming air vessels.
“Friends?” Hunter asked grabbing his blaster.
Gonky honked.
“It’s Rex!” You were elated.
You jogged to the mud room to yank on your boots along with your rain coat and the matching hat from the hook on the wall.
“Do you think Echo is with him?” You wondered out loud.
Hunter meandered into the kitchen tugging at the fresh nexu to start cleaning the meat, “I’m sure mesh’la, Echo wouldn’t miss coming to say hi.”
Your excitement peaked and you practically kicked the door open to skip down the steps to trudge through the mud to get to the base camp.
On your way down the hill, you passed by the shaak barn where Wrecker and Tech were busy assembling the new fence.
“Hi Wrek! Hi Tech!” You hollered and gave them a wave before continuing on down towards the village.
“Darling, aren’t you supposed to be inside with Cross?” Tech squinted through his goggles watching you cross the property.
“Rex is here!” You replied with a smile, “He has the last ingredient for the serum!”
“Okay, but just stay out of the rain you’ll catch a c-“ Tech began but you cut him off.
“I know! I know!” You yelled out as you got further away, “I promise to stay dry!”
You knew Tech wanted to discuss this topic further, blah, blah, blah, you didn’t care. You were excited for so many reasons. For one, you haven’t seen them in weeks, and second, you were receiving the shipment of a recovered serum made by Nala Se. The substance was a vile of microscopic DNA repairing robots who could deliver the serum you created to the clones in mass numbers. This would solve everything. You couldn’t be more elated.
Before you knew it, you heard four sets of footsteps trailing behind you and you knew it was your alphas being diligent with guarding you. You giggled knowing Tech was probably already fussing about ways to keep you out of the rain as he approached.
Once you reached the growing village, you scampered down the steps reaching the center of town where the new space ports were being set up.
With a few other clones, you all gathered waiting to see the ships descend from the cloudy skies.
You felt the presence of your alphas surround you, as Tech wrapped you in a second rain cloak that had a massive hood. You smiled up at him and pressed a kiss to his cheek. He was satisfied with this level of rain protection and returned to his post at your side.
“They’re incoming now.” Hunter must have heard the engines.
Before you knew it, two cargo ships pushed through the clouds and descended gracefully down towards the town.
Bolts emerged from his domicile along with his little mate who was a few months pregnant. They waved to you and you waved back as he clearly had almost as much excitement as you.
When the first ship touched down, the loading deck lowered down and more clones excited the vessel. You searched every one of them until you spotted a familiar face.
“Rex!” You sprinted forwards dodging the strangers before you threw yourself at your old captain. He smiled before embracing you.
“Good to see you kid.” He mumbled.,
You squeezed him extra hard, “Where have you been! It’s been weeks!”
A gruff voice replied, “Looking for this.”
You looked up from Rex’s chest before turning to find Wolfee standing there holding a glowing blue vile in his fingers.
“Commander!” You said warmly, allowing him to pull you into a hug too.
You heard a disapproving growl behind you knowing it was one of your boys.
Wolfee chuckled, “They still treating you alright?”
You smiled, “Yes, Wolffe.”
“Good.” He smiled warmly.
“I’m never going to get used to seeing that.” Bolts said walking up and clapping his old commander on the back.
Soon, Stunner and Grim emerged surrounding you like rowdy pups.
“Seeing what?” Grim asked playfully messing with you.
“Commander smiling.” Bolts joked.
Wolffe scowled making Rex chuckle.
“Much better.” Bolts nodded.
“Commander.” Hunter walked up greeting the commander.
“Sergent.” Wolffe politely nodded.
You shook your head, even after everything you all went through these knuckle heads were still butting heads.
“Crosshair.” He nodded to the sniper.
“Wolffe.” Crosshair gave him a nod which only meant one thing from the sniper… a sign of respect.
A nearly impossible exclusive club to be in by the way.
Wolffe handed him the blue vile you’ve been waiting months for.
“I hear tiny!” Echo’s voice came from the ship.
Your pack mate walked down the loading dock making a beeline for you.
“You’re not allowed to leave us anymore.” You whined jumping up to hug him.
“Well someone has to retrieve rare medical specimens around here.” He joked.
You shook your head and shoved him lightly.
He then looked at you more seriously, “I have another surprise for you.”
You quirked a brow, “What?”
You were suddenly taken off your feet in a flurry of pink fluff.
You landed with a thud and looked up to see a squealing familiar face.
“Layla?!”
“Y/N!” She screamed and the two of you rolled around on the floor much to Tech’s chagrin.
“Is that the medic from Coruscant?” Crosshair asked with a scrutinizing look.
Echo nodded.
“Where have you been?” She squeaked and demanded.
“It’s a long story.” You shook your head, “How the hell did you find Rex?”
“Echo found me.” She said, “He still had Fives’ secured line. He pulled me out of Coruscant a week ago.”
You sat up bringing her up with you.
“Hi boys.” She waved at your mates.
They grunted in response.
Then she narrowed her eyes before looking down at you. She straddled you and began sniffing around your face clearly looking for something.
“Layla…” Echo sighed.
He leaned forwards practically nuzzling your neck before he reached a hand inside your sweater collar and yanked the fabric back to see not one but two bite scars. She gasped, “You’re mated?!”
You nodded, “Mhmm.”
She screamed again making Hunter flinch.
“Oh my gods! How long? When? Where?” The she smirked, “Was it good?”
You could have died on the spot. You suddenly felt like you were back in 79’s being grilled about your sex life in front of Hunter in that damn booth.
“Layla!” You whimpered wanting to disappear into the floor with so many of your friends staring back at you.
“It was wasn’t it?” She raised a brow waggling them playfully.
“I like her.” Grim said.
Echo clapped him on the back, “Join the club.”
“Okay, as heart warming as this all is, I want to get my mate out of the cold.” Hunter said bending down to help you up to your feet.
“Well there’s one more thing.” Layla said suddenly getting serious, “We weren’t sure what to do and knew you’d probably be the best chance.”
Your interest was peaked, “What is it?”
Everyone turned to face the ship and down came a few clones pushing what looked like a metal slab towards you.
When you approached it you quickly realized it was a slab of carbonite.
“What?” You whispered dragging your fingers over the cold material.
Upon closer inspection to realized there was a human frozen inside, and not any human, a clone.
“Who is this?” You asked looking up.
Rex then stepped forwards and lowered his eyes, “It’s Kix.”
Your eyes filled with alarm as you looked back at the slab.
Layla continued, “I’m just a nurse, I wasn’t sure what would be the best method for something like this.”
You nodded, “Smart. I can treat him up at the lab. Can someone take him there? I need to do this as soon as possible.”
The two clones continued to push the carbonite slab through the town being guided by Bolts.
“How long are you all staying?” You asked urgently.
“We have supplies to off load which will take a few days, and were working on a new lead with an imperial clone prison were hoping to attack but that intel could take months to verify.” Rex replied.
You nodded, “Good. I’m hoping to have the serum done in the next few days and I want you all here to receive the dose.”
Rex nodded, “I look forward to it.
You gave him a curt smile, “Let me look after Kix and then I’ll let you all know about the cure.”
“Sounds like a plan. Take care of him, kid.”
“You know I will.” You looked to your friend, “I’ll need your help.”
“Of course.” Layla smiled following your lead.
Crosshair handed you the vile before trailing after you towards the lab outside of town.
~
“Alright I’ll need everyone waiting to help me get him into the med pod once he’s thawed out.” You instructed.
Crosshair, Layla, Echo, Tech, and Rex stood around you and the slab of carbonite while the others waited just outside the medical cabin.
You knelt down to start punching in the right code to start the thawing process and stood back up to watch as the shipping slab started to glow an eerie red.
You waited with baited breath as Layla reached over for your hand as you watched the carbonite slowly melt away.
Slowly, Kix’s hand started to flex before the rest of him was revealed. Once the process was complete Layla let go of you to lean forward and help the boys raise their brother up out of the slab and onto the med pod bed.
“H-Hello?” Kix’s worried voice quivered into the air, “I-I can’t see.”
“It’s carbonite sickness. Don’t worry Kix, you’ll be okay in a bit.” You replied softly.
“Tiny?” He asked trying to locate the source of your voice.
You leaned forwards and pressed your wrist to his nose to let him scent you, “Right here, Kix.”
He crinkled his nose, “You smell funny.”
“I’ll explain that when you get your site back. Echo’s here and Rex.” You responded softly.
“And Layla.” She purred.
That got Kix’s attention.
You giggled stepping away from the med pod.
Rex pulled you aside letting the others wrap him in knitted blankets and wool sweaters.
“He seems fine, but do you think the chip was activated?” Rex’s expression was slightly hesitant.
“I think he was already frozen when the order was given. But I’ll remove it as soon as he’s stable for good measure.” You nodded in Kix’s direction.
Rex was satisfied with this.
“How long do you think he’ll take to see again?” The captain asked looking a little frazzled.
You placed a hand on is forearm in a calming gesture, “Just a couple hours. Maybe even faster with your special genetics. He’ll be fine Rex.”
Rex nodded. You couldn’t imagine what the poor captain was going through. His last man.
Well technically no, with Echo being the last domino, but regardless Kix was one of the oldest friend to everyone. You were happy you at least had one member from your first pack left and standing.
Kix was getting comfortable as Layla combed through his hair with her nails and Echo tucked him in with the blankets. Echo knew a thing or two about being on ice. He was handling all of this like a champ which made you proud of your friend. You felt tears welling up in your eyes with all the sudden emotion.
“When will the serum be ready?” Rex asked gaining your attention again.
You quickly wiped away the wetness on your cheek, “Uhh. Any day now. That vile is the last ingredient. I’ll have you all on a natural biological clock before you have to ship out.”
Rex sighed looking at the bundle of 501st curling up with one another comforting Kix.
You looked at your captain, “You’re not leaving?” You felt a spark of hope.
“I-I thought my vision was clear… Save as many of our brother as I can. Then I might consider settling down.”
“You’re human too Rex. And you all are much more than soldiers. I understand wanting to help the others, but you’ve been in this fight longer than most of them. Can’t you let Wolffe and Howzer handle the day to day operations for a little and you can slow down just a bit?” You gestured to Kix, “He’s going to need his captain. He’s waking up in an entirely different world. It’s going to take some adjusting, familiar faces are necessary.” You were trying to give him an out. It was an out he seemed to need.
Processing your words he nodded, “I guess there’s no harm in delaying my departure…”
You squealed and tackled him in the biggest hug you could muster. He grunted before welcoming you into him.
“I promise you’ll like it here.” You said into his armor, “Wrecker can cook up a mean shaak roast, ooo! You can stay with us! I have to find you a sweater!”
He chuckled, “No offense, but I know what you and your mates get up to. I’d rather get some sleep without hearing all that.”
You slapped him playfully.
He smiled.
“I’m still finding you a sweater.” You poked his arm through a gap in the plastoid before returning back to your mates.
Tech turned to look down at you along with his twin.
“I’m going to stay and work on this,” You held up the vile, “I’ll be back at the house later, okay?”
“Dinner.” Crosshair pointed his toothpick at you, “or Hunter will worry.”
“I know…” You nodded before turning to your private research lab.
“Do you need assistance?” Tech asked following behind you closely.
“I’m alright, love. But thank you.” You smiled up at him. He had been paramount in your research helping you bounce ideas off of him when you felt most overwhelmed. You wouldn’t have been able to get this far so quickly without him and his massive brain.
“Im proud of you, cyare.” He cupped your jaw affectionately, “I find myself more and more in love with you every day. You’re brilliant, darling.”
You flustered looking down at his green henley covered chest, “…alpha…”
He closed the distance and tilted your chin up, forcing you to look up at his deep inquisitive eyes, “I should have realized sooner.” He was referring to when you first joined their squad during the war, “I didn’t know you had such a beautiful mind locked away up here.” He tapped your skull, “The GAR could have never appreciated it in its entirely, but we can.”
Your heart stuttered as his words melted your insides.
“I’m incredibly thankful you decided to enlist. I never told you that. While we may not have had a choice in our servitude, you joining us made everyday a little better. Enjoyable even.” Tech rubbed your skin with his thumb.
“Tech…” You sighed leaning into his touch, “I’m so happy I was placed with you. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”
His mouth quirked up into a half smile.
“Go on.” He released you to let you tinker in your lab, “Save our entire population from accelerated aging.” He waved around playfully.
He turned to leave, “If it works out, you could probably sell it on the black market for an exorbitant price and get a second greenhouse.”
That made you laugh.
“Don’t forget dinner!” He called after you leaving you alone.
You nodded and turned to roll up your sweater sleeves and get to work.
You took a deep breath, you could do this.
Reaching into your pocket, you pulled out the blue vile and walked over to the workstation to sit down and pul out your data pad that you plugged into the dna synthesizer machine.
One of the slots popped open and you slipped the blue vile inside before closing the compartment and hearing the machine whirl to life.
You have the internal droid instructions to take a small sample to test and opened up your notes to start documenting your findings.
This process might take a while…
You settled in and began documenting your data.
~
Well it’s certainly past dinner.
Hunter sighed grabbing a big bowl of nexu stew and a spoon, “Hey Wreck can you grab a few blankets and another bowl of soup?”
“Yeah!” He hopped up following the instructions and together they bundled up before taking it outside to the medical lodge.
“Is she pulling an all-nighter again?” Wrecker asked.
“Nope.” Hunter decided.
Wrecker quirked a brow before shaking the expression off and pushing open the lodge door.
Inside, Layla and Echo lay in the medical pod bed, sleeping awkwardly as Kix snuggled between them. Echo was practically bent over the side of the bed while Layla lay upside down with her feet hanging off the side of the cot.
Hunter gestured for Wrecker to cover them in blankets to keep them all warm and he set down the bowl of soup for Kix to eat when he wakes up.
Hunter continued onwards pushing open the glass door to find you slumped over your desk with your face in your data pad dead asleep.
He shook his head with a smile before folding a blanket and wrapping it around your shoulders. He knew you were uncomfortable in that position but he couldn’t bring himself to wake you.
He set the bowl on the desk before flopping down on the lounger on the wall across the lab.
Just as he settled down as well, the giant machine on your desk hissed and beeped causing you to gasp and sit up suddenly.
You blinked rapidly forcing yourself awake unaware of your visitor.
You stood up letting the blanket fall off of you as you leaned over to read the report.
With a bit of eye rubbing and forced concentration, you suddenly shrieked with joy causing the entire lodge to wake up.
“I did it!” You jumped up and down, “I did it!”
Hunter cleared his throat making you spin around to face him a bit shocked at his ability to sneak around still.
“Hunter!” You put. Hand over your heart, “You scared me.”
“You missed dinner.” He smiled sweetly.
“I-oh… sorry.” You looked at the clock seeing it was getting close to midnight.
“It’s alright mesh’la.” He tilted his chin to the beeping machine, “Have you got what you’re looking for?”
Your excitement was evident as you nodded and grabbed your data pad to read the results. It was a success. The machine was able to replicate exactly the recipe Nala Se had created. You were vibrating with excitement.
“I did it, alpha.” You heard the machine putz and pop out a vile of clear liquid. You picked it up inspecting it, “This will cure the rapid aging.”
Hunter looked at you with hope and about five other amazed emotiones.
You chewed your lip as he stood up towering over you.
You set the vile down on the desk knowing exactly what that look meant…
It was his night after all…
~
“I’ll volunteer.” Rex said pragmatically. Ever the leader.
“Me too.” Wolffe nodded.
“Are you certain you wish to be the first?” Tech examined the vials of synthesized serum.
“We aren’t sure what the side effects may be.” You looked back over Nala Se’s notes. There was nothing about side effects listed in her notes so you were a bit hesitant. You weren’t sure if this was going to be painful for them.
Firs thing this morning, they had nearly busted down the lodge door after hearing the news of your success.
“It doesn’t matter.” Rex crossed his arms, “You need to test it on one of us, and we’re here, offering.”
You nodded.
“I just want you to be prepared for the fact that none of us know how this is going to react. It might hurt.” You explained.
“We’ve been through worse.” Wolffe said gruffly.
You sighed, “Okay.”
Just then, the door to the lodge opened and in came Howzer. He looked sharp. Clean shaven, hair washed and damp from the rain, along with his all black civvies.
You had to calm your heart a bit. His presence still made you a little nervous despite your silent understanding. You hadn’t said a word to him since Teth. It was awkward to say the least.
“You need another lab rat?” He asked rolling up his sleeves.
“Captain.” You nodded formally.
He just raised a brow before settling in next to Wolffe. He clearly wasn’t prepared for your formality.
“We don’t know the side effects.” You disclosed.
“Fine with me.” He nodded.
You finally relented with a sigh before turning to grab the vials and loaded one into your injector gun.
“Who’s first?” You asked.
Rex stepped forwards rolling up the sweater he borrowed from Tech.
You sterilized the skin on his arm before pressing the gun forwards and pulling the trigger injecting him with the serum. The man didn’t even flinch or make a sound as the vial emptied.
You pressed a tissue to the wound before emptying out the cartridge before loading in the second.
Wolffe then stepped forwards pulling off his vambrace to reveal the sleeve of his blacks. He yanked the fabric back giving you access to his caramel skin. You cleaned the sight before repeating the action.
Once you got to Howzer, he tugged up the sleeve silently understanding the process.
As you neared him, you could feel his burning gaze upon you.
It was alarming to remember how intense he was. He reminded you of Wolffe in a lot of ways. Younger, but still, the energy was so similar. Howzer was an intense man too. One of the reasons why you had gravitated towards Howzer all those moons ago. He was a good alpha, and a fantastic lover. The memory of his touch made you heat slightly. You prayed your cheeks didn’t redden being this close to him. You noticed the familiar tattoos on his forearm that made you shiver.
You remembered mouthing at that skin in the throws of your heats. The taste of his skin suddenly recollected to the front of your mind.
It was like he knew exactly what you were thinking of and you noticed the sly smirk he tried to disguise on his lip.
You forced yourself to take a breath willing yourself to calm.
His scent was far too familiar, too intimate…
Pressing the gun to his forearm, you swallowed thickly ignoring his piercing gaze. You remained professional until you handed him the tissue to clean the bead of blood.
You heard him inhale deeply trying to catch a glimpse of your scent, but he scrunched his nose clearly not liking the smell. It had been altered after all.
And you knew how much he liked you smelling like him…
You dared to look up at him, and his distaste quickly morphed into a much softer gaze.
“Y/N…” He whispered, but you ignored him.
You turned back to the table to set down the injector and pull off your gloves.
“Okay, everyone stay here so I can observe your vitals. I have to check on Kix.” You said giving them a polite smile before leaving them.
You let out the breath you had been holding before walking over to Kix’s medical pod. He was still sleeping. Poor guy. You were certain his exhaustion was from the carbonite sickness, his body had been through quite the ordeal.
You all still had no idea how he even ended up in that situation but that was for later.
Right now, you needed to scan his vitals again.
Layla heard you enter the room and raised her head from the cot. She must have been folded over the side of the mattress with her arms folded as a pillow for some time now.
“Hey.” She croaked waking up.
“Hey.” You smiled grabbing the scanner on the side table, “Has he woken at all?”
She huffed, “Once last night. But then he conked out again.”
You approached the other side off the bed where you brushed back his hair to tilt his head to the side to place the scanner on his neck.
When the scanner beeped, you looked at the readings, “He’s in perfect health. I’m hoping he wakes up soon.”
Layla hummed before standing to stretch, “I need to wash up and change. Where can I do that?”
“We have a shower here in the clinic, but you’re welcome to go back to our place. Just let one of the boys know. They get a little territorial over the bathroom.”
Layla huffed a laugh before nodding to grab her duffle.
She was walking to the in-clinic bathroom when she suddenly called out for you.
“What?” You shuffled into the main exam room to find Layla scanning Rex.
“I think they’re feeling a bit drowsy.” Layla said helping Rex lay down.
You checked the data pad as Wolffe and Howzer both slumped over. Their readings were all ok.
Layla was right they were just drowsy.
You ordered a few medical droids to keep a constant reading on them as they got comfortable. Layla quickly helped you throw some blankets on them before leaving them all to their little cat nap.
“I got Kix, you get cleaned up and comfortable.” You ordered to Layla who nodded and continued on to the ensuite bathroom.
You took a brief moment to run your fingers carefully over Howzer’s forehead feeling the warmth of his skin. You shuddered as your fingers felt the firmness of his cheekbones and defined jaw. His eyes remained peacefully closed as he slept, and you helped tilt his head back onto the pillow to keep him comfortable.
Your heart ached with fondness for the alpha, at one point you had believed he was the one for you. You couldn’t help but be greedy and lean down to press a gentle kiss to his forehead. With a shudder, you stood back up and pushed his hair from his face.
The clone looked peaceful, no scowl, no stress, and no worries. He looked almost boyish in this state.
You couldn’t help the saddened smile that crept up on your lip. It pained you to know that he was probably still hurt.
You whispered, “I’m sorry Howz… I didn’t think all of this would have gone the way it has. The force works in mysterious ways.” You continued to play with his hair, “You took such good care of me and your men. I’ll never forget my time with you on Ryloth. You’re a good alpha Howz, and a good man.”
You sighed and pulled the hand woven blanket up to his chin, tucking him in and making sure he stays warm.
Then you turned to return back to your work.
~~~
A few hours later, the boys had all come baring gifts of comfort. They fed you, gave you enough time to quickly change and shower while they watched Kix, before you returned to curl up on the lounger Wrecker dragged inside. Tech held you closely, giving you little pets on your head as you rested against his warm beating chest.
Layla also had curled up on another cot the boys dragged in next to Echo as everyone got some much needed rest.
Tech was the only one still awake as he kept dutiful watch from the lounger letting you, his little omega, get some much needed sleep.
On the other side of the room, he heard Kix shift a little in his sleep. Tech pushed back his goggles, before perking up to observe the reg.
Then in an instantaneous flash, Kix sat up ram rod straight, and screaming, “Dooku! It was Dooku!”
Everyone in the room jolted awake violently reaching for their weapons.
Kix screamed and groaned as the lights seemed to agitate him. He tried standing up, but knocked over a med droid, and a few items on the table.
You shot up trying to rush over to him before he destroyed the whole lab.
“Ahh!” He cried out, “Get away!” He punched the droid sending the unit flying into the wall.
“Kix!” You tried to get his attention but he seemed to be manic. He wasn’t hearing you.
“Y/N, be careful.” Tech stood to try and put himself between you and the agitated soldier.
“Kix!” Layla and Echo chimed in raising their hands trying to calm him.
“Brother!” Echo stepped forwards taking the brunt of his hits and forced him into a tight embrace, “Vod!”
“I-I swear I just wanted to help!” Kix whimpered, “I wanted to help Fives!”
Echo suddenly shuddered, “Kix, you’re okay. You’re safe. Look around.”
Kix heaved trying to ground himself. He burrowed into Echo’s front, scenting his familiar brother.
The medic was finally starting to calm down as he blinked rapidly trying to adjust to the lights. He then bristled as a soft hand scratched against his back making him turn to look at Layla who was standing next to him a little moon eyed and startled.
You checked the time seeing it was three past midnight.
The two got him settled back in before you checked his vitals one last time to confirm he was indeed okay.
“Where am I?” He asked looking a bit dazed.
Echo pulled one of the colorful blankets over Kix’s legs.
“You’re on Zyphor. We have a settlement here with just us, and a few clones.” You said.
“W-what happened?” He asked pulling the blanket up.
“It’s been over a year, Kix,” Echo began, “We just found you in carbonite, we were hoping you might be able to fill us in on a few things.”
Kix looked to you, noticing how close Tech was to you and he squinted his eyes suspiciously.
He then looked to his brother, “I-I tried to warn everyone. I tried to tell Skywalker. I confirmed Five’s theory and ran tests on the inhibitor chips inside Tup’s head. But, when I told the long necks… I was suddenly moved to a different location. I remember seeing Dooku, and then it was nothing…” He shook his head trying to put the pieces together.
“I don’t want to distress you any further Kix, but I feel like you should know.” Echo cleaner his throat trying to fight off his own emotions, “But Fives, was killed. Palpatine told him everything, it sent him into a frenzy and then he was killed by the guard.”
Kix’s face morphed into deep sadness, “Fives is dead?”
Echo’s expression fell and he nodded solemnly.
“I didn’t warn Skywalker.” Kix shook his head, “I should have gone straight to him instead of the long necks.”
“They were in on it.” You sighed, “They helped to create the entire war for Palpatine.”
Kix leaned back into the bed looking up at the ceiling, “W-where is everyone else?”
“The Jedi were executed.” Echo filled him in, “And then the entire 501st company went down in a ship crash when they turned on Rex and Soka.”
“Everyone?” Kix was in disbelief.
Echo nodded.
“Kriff.” Kix rubbed at his eyes.
You all remained there in slightly uncomfortable silence as Kix processed everything.
Tech guided you back into his side and you nuzzled into him.
Kix groaned, “And that! Someone explain that!” He gestured to you and Tech, “I thought you were being tailed by Commander Wolffe or the 99 Sergeant! You were practically fucking in the hangar bay last I saw you!”
Tech growled possessively.
“Oh man.” Echo chuckled, “You’ve missed a lot.”
“I wasn’t quick enough to the draw.” Wolffe emerged into the doorway looking tussled from sleep. His famous scowl was only emphasized by his sleepiness and his ruffled hair.
“Neither was I.” Howzer stepped up next to Wolffe rubbing his eyes. You felt your stomach flip. Maker above. Having all these alphas in this space was making you antsy.
Tech was nearly vibrating trying to remain civil as he held a protective grasp on you.
“Captain Howzer?” Kix was disbelief, “I haven’t seen you since you were in my tent on Ryloth.”
Howzer chuckled, “Yeah it’s been a while vod. How ya feeling?”
“Like shit.” Kix laughed.
Layla held up a water cup forcing him to drink something. He looked at her with mesmerized eyes. She smiled sweetly as offered him some more which he gladly gulped down.
Kix swallowed and turned back to you, “Last time I saw you, you had just gone into heat because of Sergeant grumps.” He joked.
You sighed, “Kix, there’s something else-“
“What’s going on in here?” Hunter and Crosshair walked past Wolffe and Howzer giving the both of them a terse look.
Ugh the damn bond. Probably felt Tech fuming through it.
“Tiny, was just explaining to everyone why she’s mated to Tech.” Echo drawled.
Hunter and Crosshair both raised a brow.
“Well, not just myself. But also my batch mates.” Tech replied for clarification.
Crosshair saddled up to your other side sandwiching you between himself and his twin.
You smiled awkwardly at Kix as you watched him go slack jaw.
He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
“H-how is that even possible?” He was trying to recall all his knowledge on the lupine genders and behavior patterns he was forced to study as a cadet.
Wolffe nodded in their direction, “That little omega is a rare variant of our sub-species who can have an unlimited amount of alpha partners. Empire found out, captured her, and my entire garrison, then they imprisoned us in a breeding facility with the sniper, and tried to clone her to create a few army with all of us and our offspring. Rex and the boys came to our rescue. Blew up the base and brought us here.”
Wolffe’s casual tone had Kix absolutely flabbergasted. It was like he was recounting a mission report with his level headedness.
“Who tried to breed you?” Kix was properly enraged.
“The Empire.” You squeaked feeling the heat rising in your face.
“The Empire…” He repeated like that was common knowledge.
“The Chancellor over threw the senate and the republic and created the galactic empire.” Echo explained.
“What. The. Fuck.” Kix shook his head. You were sure he had a million questions swirling around in his head.
“But that doesn’t explain that you’re mated?” He pointed at you again.
“Well that happened during a drug induced haze that made me bite Crosshair which in turn he bit me back.” You replied, “Then the others happened shortly after that.”
“You were in a relationship this whole time?” He was aghast, “I thought you were with Howzer?”
Hunter and Crosshair snarled.
“Well, not really…” You tried to placate your mates, “That didn’t happen until we got stranded on Mimban after the GAR sent us to Kasssyyykk. We crash-landed and all went into heat and rut… obviously you can put together the pieces there. I hadn’t seen Howzer in over eight standard months at that point.”
Howzer nodded in the doorway.
You looked to Echo, “Why am I constantly having to explain my sexual history in front of my former commanding officer?”
Echo laughed as Hunter quirked his head in the direction of the ARC Trooper.
Tech chimed in, “I’d like to point out that I have upheld my banishment of speaking on this topic.”
You have his hand a squeeze and a smile.
“I think you kids need to let those two catch up.” Rex’s groggy voice came from behind Wolffe, “They haven’t seen each other in ages and I’m sure theres some details not everyone needs to hear for the millionth time.”
Rex always had a knack for settling people straight. At this point he was pro, with having to wrangle Fives and Echo all those years.
“Of course Captain.” Layla winked at Rex before sauntering out of the treatment room. Rex watched her leave with a smirk.
Wolffe and Howzer turned to return to their med pods, while your mates stuck around.
“You alright?” Hunter checked in on you.
You nodded, “I can take care of him. You guys get your sleep. Take Echo with you. He needs his real bed.”
Echo grunted in agreement.
“Comm us if you need anything.” Crosshair pressed a kiss to your head before leaving with his brothers.
Hunter and Tech also gave you a kiss before leaving you alone with your longest friend.
You sighed and crossed your arms looking at Kix like he was a cadet all wrapped up in a pink and green blanket.
He patted the bed next to him which you happily trotted over and plopped down next to him.
“So…” He looked down at you, “Did you end up fucking Wolffe?”
“No!” Wolffe yelled from the other room.
You giggled and shoved Kix playfully, “No.”
“So like how does that work?” He snickered, “Do they like run a train on you or something?”
“Oh my gods Kix!” You screeched, you were certain the other men in the room next door heard him, “You’re worse than Echo.”
He giggled, “C’mon I’ve been frozen for over a year, give a guy something good.”
“No they don’t run a train on me.” You were horrified at that verbiage.
“No judgement tiny,” He raise his brows, “The 501st ran trains all the time. Sometimes with more than one omega.”
Now it was your turn to gawk.
“Stop telling her these things!” Rex chastised from the other room.
“Oh please, like you didn’t join!” Kix teased. You heard nothing from the other room, “And I’m sure the Captain and Commander had their own fun too.” Kix continued, “I heard a lot of things about Wolffe’s men back in the day…” He whispered and you shook your head.
You thought you were going to pass out. Absolutely no way, the cheshire style grin that appeared on your face. How absolutely insane. Echo never told you about that…
“Do I want to ask about Echo’s involvement?” You whispered.
“No!” Rex admonished.
You looked at Kix who just replied with a telling smirk.
“Ewugh, bleh.” You shook your head.
“Anyways. Not the first time a clone had shared a woman.” He nudged you, “You look good though. You’re not as scrawny as you used to be. All healthy and glowing and shit.”
“Echo trained me in hand to hand. Then working here on the farm I think has bulked me up a little.” You replied sheepishly.
“Looks good on you, Tiny.”
“Thanks.”
“Okay, so how do you manage all of them?
“We have a schedule.”
He smirked, “Do those schedules ever overlap?”
You bit your lip and nodded. You had a flashback to the day before with Hunter and Crosshair which made you shiver slightly.
He nodded slyly. It made you giggle. It was nice talking to him again. It was like talking with Echo. There was such a natural flow and you had alway felt comfortable with Kix. With him being a medic, he had that special personality about him that made you instantly feel safe in his care.
“… so they do run trains…”
“Kix!” You grabbed a pillow and smacked him with it.
He howled with laughter and let you smack him.
“Hey if you ever want another alpha you know where to look!” Wolffe hollered from the other room.
“We’re pros at trains according to Kix!” Howzer chimed in.
“Shut up!” You yelled back.
You heard Rex groan and shift in his blankets clearly grossed out by this entire conversation.
You sat and chatted with Kix for the remainder of the night filling him in on every life detail and you too listened to him as he wanted all the details that lead up to this very moment. You couldn’t blame him, you’d want the play by play too if you were in his position.
When morning finally comes, you make to excuse yourself to let Kix rest, and when you enter the main treatment room, Howzer gently tugs you side with a gentle hold on your wrist. You flinch slightly realizing he had gripped over Wrecker’s mark making you shudder.
“Sorry.” He withdrew realizing what he had done. Clearly he wasn’t used to that.
“It’s alright.” You rubbed at the mark, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I just wanted to talk.” Howzer said trying to soften his expression as much as possible, “I didn’t know if I’d ever be able to get you alone without your mates around.”
You huffed, “Howzer-“
“I’m not trying to upset you.” He interrupted.
You relented and sat down on the cot next to him.
“I just wanted to tell you that I’m not angry with you.” He began, “Confused? Yes. Shocked? Absolutely…. And jealous… I didn’t know how to react. When I saw you on Teth I thought it was going to be like old times. Like you were still mine. I wondered how the hell you ended up on Teth. I didn’t even know you got reassigned to the 99’s.”
Your body tensed at his words of ownership. It didn’t feel right now that you knew for a fact you belonged to your mates.
“I didn’t know. And I’m sorry for lashing out. You don’t deserve that. You’re a very special woman, and frankly I should have proposed a bond to you back on Ryloth but I was afraid something might happen to me and you’d bear the consequences.”
Your heart raced rapidly hearing those words. A bond with Howzer? You had to take a breath, you hadn’t realized how attached he had been. He had come to you on those particularly difficult nights for comfort, but you always thought you were supposed to remain friends after you both agreed on the terms of your relationship. Well, more like friends with benefits. He was in command of an entire garrison and yourself. You were his working medic while under his command. You knew nothing more could have come of it, but he was a very impressive alpha. A strong one too. You couldn’t blame yourself for having those feelings about the captain.
“I didn’t want anything to happen to you.” He looked at you endearingly, “I’m glad you’re happy. I’m glad they make you happy. While I don’t entirely understand it, I guess it’s not for me to understand. I just want to make sure you’re good.”
He was a damn good alpha. You sighed and looked back at him, “Thank you, Howzer. I didn’t want to upset you either, it was making me so anxious. I never wanted to hurt you and I felt like I had.”
“Not you darling. I was also a little put off by Crosshair after the events with the empire. The empire had interrogated me as well before he came to Ryloth. They wanted to know everything about you. I only told them limited details but I was worried you were in danger. Then the sniper showed up and tore apart the base on his mission to retrieve you.”
“He was heavily under the programming of the inhibitor chips, he also thought I was dead. He was suffering a lot.”
“He thought you were dead?”
“It’s a long story.” You shuddered recounting the emptiness from the severed bond.
“Well that would make sense.” Howzer huffed out a short laugh, “I’d tear apart the base too.”
You smiled taking his hand in yours.
“Are we okay?” You asked sincerely, “I can’t stand thinking you hate me.”
“I could never hate you, little dove.” However ran his thumb over your hand, “But if you ever need a fifth…”
You rolled your eyes playfully before standing up.
“I’ll let you know.” You joked making him smile.
~~~
When the morning light bleed through the curtains and warmed your nose, you blinked your eyes open and stretched like a loth cat, only to be obstructed. You mewled feeling Tech’s heavy arm pinning you to his front. You tried to flip around to face him but he shifted, pushing you nearly under him as he sighed in his sleep.
Deciding there was no point in trying to fight the heavy alpha. You snuggled into him, enjoying his warmth as he nearly suffocated you in his scent.
You were in heaven. The fur pelts of your nest kept you toasty warm as the last of the fire crackled out. You scooted further back pressing as close as possible to your tall alpha. He groaned waking up lightly. His hand brushed up against your front, cupping your breast. You giggled sleepily as he squeezed and massaged you.
“You’re up early, darling.” His raspy voice made you squirm.
“I have a big day, alpha.” You replied rolling over to face him.
His eyes were still closed as he lightly dragged his fingers over your back leisurely. You pressed kisses to his chest and he rumbled happily. You rubbed your cheeks against his skin leaving your scent on him making you purr.
“Oh yeah? What is on your schedule today?” He asked reaching for his goggles.
You kissed further down making him breathe a little faster.
“Well…” Your tone was teasing, “I was thinking…” You dragged your nail down his abs to his muscular thigh you saw his hardened cock twitch at the scrape of your nail, “I was thinking, I would blow my alpha, and then eat some breakfast, and then go to the lab to check in on the serum. Then maybe cure the entire clone population of accelerated aging.” You shrugged playfully.
Tech’s big eyes blinked behind his goggles as he watched you descent to settle between his legs.
“Sound good alpha?” You asked teasing your nails around the base of his cock making him break out in goosebumps.
“Seems like a reasonable plan.” He nodded trying to thrust his hips into your grasp.
You took mercy on him and grasped his hardened cock in your hand and gave him a few slow stokes making him swallow.
While, Tech and Cross are usually pretty dominant with you, in the mornings Tech was particularly softer with you. He usually let you do whatever you wanted which made your insides melt.
You continued to stroke him watching the way he was beginning to pant the longer you stimulated him.
You bit your lip as you swiped the pre come dripping from his flushed tip. Tech sucked in air at the feeling of your hand, but his noises escalated when you leaned down to lick the tip and he bit back a groan.
You smiled mischievously before sticking out your tongue and giving him a long lick from base to tip. Tech trusted upwards making you smile before fulling engulfing him in your mouth. He huffed at the intense warmth surrounding him.
“Darling.” He bit out as his hand instinctually flew to your hair, “Fuck.”
You gently bobbed your head taking him even deeper making Tech squirm on the fur pelts. You applied some more suction as you pushed yourself even deeper. His salty taste made your toes curl. His hand gently massaged your scalp as he softly guided you up and down his length at the speed he needed.
You moaned around his length making him shudder. Kriff he looked so damn good. His entire body flexed and showed off his lean muscles.
Tech’s hips stuttered slightly and you doubled down, massaging his length with your tongue. He let a tiny whimper slip before he twitched and spilled his cum into your throat. You swallowed diligently as he sagged down into the nest trying to catch his breath.
“Mega…” He slurred trying to recover from the orgasm. You smiled and sat back up on your heels before giving his abs one last kiss before standing.
“Where are you going?” He asked pushing his hair back.
“I told you.” You giggled, “I’m going to make some breakfast then head to the clinic.”
“I fear that I would be a bad alpha if I allowed you to leave without repaying the favor.” He said sitting up and coving his lap with a blanket.
You smiled grabbing your robe and pulling it on, “It’s alright alpha, I’m too distracted anyways.”
He relented and relaxed back into the fur.
You skipped into the bathroom to get cleaned up. Turning on the shower water, you stepped inside to scrub down.
~~~
Wrecker and the others were awake and in the kitchen by the time you left the bathroom.
The smell of eggs and meat made your mouth water. You saddled up next to Hunter, sitting in his lap as Wrecker placed your plate in front of you. You thanked him and grabbed your spork to dig in.
Hunter wrapped you in his strong arms and nuzzled his mark on your neck no doubt leaving his scent behind.
Tech finally rose up out of the nest to dress declaring this plans for fence repair today.
Hunter nipped you playfully making you squeal.
By the time you finished your meal, the boys had cleaned up and were starting to get ready for their day. Hunter deposited you on the floor where Crosshair and him fussed about getting you dressed for the weather. The can’t stand the idea of you getting a cold.
They tied your rain hat over your head and pulled your jacket on before giving you a little pat on the ass before following you outside.
They detoured off towards the stables while you continued on the little winding path towards the half buried domicile in the hill. You could see some lights on inside which let you know at least someone was awake this morning.
You were hoping that Kix was back to normal…
The sound of the front door swooshing open momentarily held your attention before you looked up to see one of the most disturbing sights you have ever seen in your short lifespan…
Layla was straddling Kix, while Echo’s pale naked body nestled up behind Layla and all three of them had not an article of clothing in sight.
All three heads of Kix, Layla, and Echo whipped around to look at you as both alpha’s froze mid thrust while Layla balked in the direction in which you stood. Kix’s face was covered in a sheen of sweat and his cheeks were flushed while Layla was trying her best to cover up with the sheets and Echo joust stood there un-phased if not a little annoyed to be interrupted.
You closed your eyes let out a horrified scream and turned on your heel to run out of the lab.
“Wait!” Layla screamed after you but it was no use you kept screaming as you ran back towards the stables.
It wasn’t long before Crosshair and Hunter ran up to you, blasters in hand, looking worried.
“What’s wrong?”
“Are you hurt?”
You shook your head and flung yourself into Hunter’s chest, “I just walked in on Layla, Kix… and Echo.”
There was a moment of silence before you heard Crosshair’s chuckle. Images of Echo’s pale ass flashed into your mind’s eye. You cringed.
“I think you woke up the whole settlement.” Hunter shimmied you both around to see curious heads popping out of their homes.
You giggled, “Whoops.”
Crosshair shrugged, “Didn’t know Echo still had it in him.”
You slapped his arm, “Cross… I’ve been traumatized and you’re joking about it?”
“At least Kix is fine.” He pointed out.
That was true at least.
You wish you could erase the past five minutes from your memory however.
Hunter chuckled, “You’re fine mesh’la. Let’s give them twenty minutes then go back.”
The three of you walked towards the stables where you could at least play with the barn tookas while you waited for them to finish.
What a fucking morning…
~~~
“I don’t want to talk about it.”
The three of them stood anxiously by your lab door like kicked puppies.
You refused to turn around. You couldn’t even look without picturing that.
“It never happened.” You waved them off, “I’m just glad you’re back to normal, Kix.”
“B-But-“ He started but Echo just gestured for him to return back to the other room.
“Trust me. This is the better option.” The Arc trooper tried to console his friend.
You were too busy with your work anyways.
Howzer, Rex and Wolffe all came back normal once they dealt with their quick bit of drowsiness. When they woke up, they felt absolutely fine and have no shown any signs of side effects. When you checked their DNA once again, you saw the alterations and how they were now practically identical to natural born human males. Their accelerated aging had been totally reversed…
The comparison however was remarkable, the ways the Kaminoan’s altered their genetic structures to prevent disease, and recover from injury quicker, amongst other things. It was a scientific marvel. You could stare at their genomes for hours. You wondered how much of that genetic data you could replicate for yourself and others.
You heard another beep go off letting you know the synthesizer was finished with another batch of vials, while your assistant medical droids packaged them up neatly in crates getting them ready for use.
You picked up a single vile looking at it and thinking of what Hunter said earlier. You sighed. It would be nice to just be normal and start a family. You know your alphas would make amazing fathers. Protective, loving, smart, and brave. All the qualities you could want. As you held the blue vile, you decided this one was for Hunter and you slipped it into your pocket.
“Need any help?” Kix returned standing in your doorway awkwardly.
You looked up and raised a brow.
“I feel bad…” he admitted.
You softened your gaze, “It’s alright Kix, if you want to help me start organizing for distribution I’d appreciate it.”
He waddled inside plopping down next to the droids trying to understand the science behind all of this.
“So… how much did you see?” He asked sheepishly.
You grumbled, “Too much.”
“Sorry.” He chewed his lip.
You both locked eyes and stared feeling the awkwardness before you both burst out into hysterical laughter.
“You were literally frozen in carbonite and the first thing you do coming out is have a threesome?!” You were howling with laughter feeling the tears running down your eyes.
“Listen… Listen!” He waves his hands around, “I woke up from the worst situation I’ve ever been in and my dream omega is right there! Give a guy some credit!”
He wiped away tears under his eyes.
“Kix!” You screamed flopping onto your back.
“Ahh!” He tried to calm down, “it wasn’t the first time…”
You looked at him again with owlish eyes, “What?”
“Well after Sarge wiped the floor with you after Crait, we had to bring Layla back to Coruscant… and well… we did it in the med-bay stock room.” He clamped his mouth shut anticipating your reaction.
“No fucking way.” Your brows raised and your jaw dropped, “ She didn’t tell me that!”
“She didn’t tell you what?” Hunter sauntered into the room crossing his arms and raising a playful brow.
“Don’t pretend like you didn’t hear.” You rolled your eyes playfully.
“What’s the fun in that?” He leaned against the entry door.
“Hi Sarge.” Kix nodded in Hunter’s direction.
“Long time no see.” Hunter smirked.
Kix cleared his throat, “I’m feeling a strange urge to yell at you for mating my best friend and little sister, but I’m going to settle for telling you that you better keep those boys in line and take good care of her alright?”
You giggled at Kix’s sudden protectiveness.
Hunter just smiled, “Don’t have to worry about us doc, she’s the one keeping us all in line.”
You rolled your eyes.
Hunter then looked to you, “Wanna grab some chow? Wrek made some shaak roast.”
Your mouth instantly watered, “I want to, but I have all these…” You looked at the cases of synthesized cure.
Kix stood up waving his arms around, “Don’t worry about that. You’ve done enough creating it, Layla and I can distribute it. We're not strangers to injector guns.”
That was true.
“Okay.” You smiled, “Give me three more.”
Kix handed you three more which you stashed in your pocket along with the other vile with your sergeant’s name on it.
You grabbed your injector gun and let Hunter walk you back to the house.
“So, the cure is ready for distribution?” Hunter held the door open for you and let you step inside.
You kicked off your boots with an excited grin, “Yup.”
“I feel like there’s something else…” He raised a brow,”
“Well…” You suddenly got a little shy, “I was thinking… after you’re all cured, I thought we might talk about maybe… trying for a pup?”
Hunter stared at you, trying to catch his breath. You were positive his heart was racing as quickly as yours was. The look of hope and excitement on his face made your insides tingle.
“A-are you sure?” He reached out grabbing your shoulders.
You chewed your lips and stared up into his grey eyes, “Well, now that I have other medics here… I wasn’t exactly looking forwards to making Tech take a crash course in labor an delivery…”
“He would have learned everything you would have needed.” Hunter smiled.
“I know…” You giggled, “But, I wanted to ask you… I can tell you’ve been thinking about it more recently. And I think you’d make an amazing father.”
“I-“ Hunter was at a loss for words, “Really?” His eyes lit up.
“Yeah, Hunter, I do.” You smiled, “I want to ask the other three too when the time is right… not entirely sure how Cross is going to feel about it.”
Hunter grumbled, “Probably wont be all that thrilled.”
“Well he’ll be outnumbered.” You winked at him.
Hunter smiled leaned forwards to press a kiss to your forehead.
“What are you two talking about?” Wrecker stepped out of the kitchen wearing his apron and oven mitts.
“Oh… nothing…” Your sing-song voice made him raise a brow suspiciously.
~ Nine months later ~
“Kix get the FUCK away from my mate!” Crosshair screamed over Wrecker’s shoulder as the giant held him firmly in place despite his wriggling.
“It’s okay, Tiny, just breathe!” Echo looked like he was going to faint from the side of the room. What a sport.
“Fuuuucccck!” You screamed baring down leaning into the urge to push.
“That’s it.” Kix and Layla encouraged from the foot of the bed, “Keep pushing!”
Hunter held your hand while Tech kept a cooling cloth on your forehead as you panted and screamed with every contraction.
“Where are the drugs?!” You demanded.
The medical droid quickly started distributing the pain medications.
“You’re almost there.” Layla said pushing your legs a little further up, “You got this babe.”
You turned to look at Hunter who looked just as woozy as Echo, “I’m going to fucking kill you.”
He cringed with guilt. The poor alpha just gave you his best remorseful eyes as he lovingly held your trembling hand.
Another painful contraction hit and you knew it was go time.
“Move!” You threw everyone off of you.
“What is she doing?!” Echo was distraught watching you roll onto your side, and get back up on your hands and knees in a kneeling position.
“Get her back on her back!” He was about to lose it.
“Relax Echo, it’s a natural response to the birthing instincts.” Tech explained helping hunter to rub your back, “Gravity helps the pup slide out easier.” Tech was clearly fascinated with the entire process. As the clones themselves weren’t born naturally, he had done hours of endless research to prepare for this moment and all the moments after, “She’s just doing what her body is telling her to do.”
Echo covered his mouth anxiously barely able to watch as you bared down gritting your teeth together and let out a primal growl.
“Layla.” You panted. She was at your side instantly, “I can’t do it.” You wavered. The baby should have been here by now, you were certain, “I-I can’t…”
“You can.” She knelt down gettin glower so you could make eye contact. She looked to all of the alphas and gave them a stern look that let them know immediately to back the fuck off.
Hunter and the others retreated giving you space. Including Kix, who was still monitoring vitals from across the room.
“Look at me.” Layla growled.
You looked at her with a dazed expression. You were exhausted. The labor had been going on all night and you barely had a moment to rest in between painful contractions. You just wanted this over and done with.
“I’m tired.” You whimpered.
“I know.” Her tone was stern, “But you and Hunter have wanted this pup for so long… Look at him.”
You looked up seeing his guilty and worried expression before turning back to your friend.
“You’re going to deliver this fucking pup and your alphas are going to take care of you two.” She pointed to Hunter, “Don’t let your alpha down.” You whimpered at that.
Suddenly you were filled with the primal need to please your alpha. The instincts were beginning to override the pain and exhaustion.
Layla nodded her head seeing the change and look of determination in your eyes, “So… we’ll do it together…” You looked at her confused for a second before he stood up, grabbing a loose sheet from the neighboring bed before climbing into yours. He knotted one end and then the other before handing it to you, “Think you can lay on your back for me?”
You nodded before lazily rolling back onto your back. You didn’t necessarily feel like being in this position, but you were trusting Layla.
Luckily the drugs were starting to kick in and you were able to focus on whatever the hell she was cooking up.
You took one end of the knotted sheet and held on as she sat facing you mirroring your straddled position.
“Ready?” She asked.
You nodded.
When she began to pull on the sheet you mimicked her, pulling as hard as you could.
Fuck… you felt something.
She pulled again and you grunted feeling your abdominals begin to contract as you bared down.
“It’s working.” Kix said stepping forwards.
“One more time.” Layla said, “I can see the pup’s head.”
The excitement in the room was palpable. Even Crosshair had calmed down while the others watched in horrified fascination.
You pulled on the sheet once more and felt something like pressure.
“The pup’s head is out. You just have the shoulders, Y/N. C’mon atta girl.” Layla was excited.
You growled again pulling on the sheet before there was more pressure than a rush… Then you were suddenly… empty….
Layla dropped the sheet to catch the pup while Kix tended to you.
Hunter watched with bated breath as anticipatory silence over took the room.
Layla rubbed the pup’s chest slightly before a piercing cry broke the quiet. You audibly sighed in relief as the pup cried out to the world.
“Atta girl.” Echo rushed to your side while Layla cleaned your new born pup.
Hunter remained fixed on the spot unsure of what he was even seeing. It seemed like he was in shock that he was now a father… The tiny little pup was flailing around and Hunter was zeroed in on its little heart beat. Even the scent was a perfect mixture of the two of you.
Layla returned back to you to place the babe on your chest, “It’s a girl.”
“A girl?” You were in disbelief. You clutched the pup. She felt so small you couldn’t believe it.
You snuggled your baby, rubbing your scent into her skin as he cried.
“Hunter.”
Everyone cleared a path for the ex-sergeant to near. He hesitated for just a moment before forcing his legs to carry himself over to you.
He knelt down at your side pressing a kiss to your forehead. You could smell the worry on him still, and the vibration of awe through the bond.
“Our daughter.” You smiled tiredly up at him.
He looked down at you lovingly, absolutely blown away that you had just created this life inside you. He reached out his finger and watched with amazement when she wrapped her little hand around his with a death grip.
He gasped feeling her strength. You smiled watching him scent her.
Suddenly everything was perfect and right in the world, and the twelve hours of labour suddenly didn’t feel so bad watching Hunter hesitantly pick up the little bundle of pup into his big burly arms as he cradled your daughter so perfectly. She was so safe in his protective arms. You could feel the bond forming within your mate already the longer he gazed upon her.
“Awh!” Wrecker wiped a tear away, “I want one…”
You huffed a laugh..
“Well you’re going to have to wait a while,” Tech gave you a knowing look. He was referencing the fact you had all decided to go with age order on this matter.
“Alright, keep your paws off of her… at least 6 weeks before we can clear her.” Kix reminded picking up the cup of cool water to bring to your lips.
“Awh!” Both Wrecker and Crosshair groaned.
Layla shook her head.
“Tiny!” Rex’s voice suddenly cut in as he pushed through the door along with Howzer, Wolffe, Grim, Bolts, Stunner, and pretty much every other clone you’ve come to know, “Is she okay?” Rex demanded. They all stuffed themselves into the room eager to see.
“Yes, Captain, she’s alright.” Kix responded.
Rex nodded before walking over to you where he patted you on the shoulder.
You watched as Hunter fussed over the little one while your other mates grappled for a peek. Even Crosshair seemed smitten. You could feel the icy need to protect her with his life snap into place and you knew your baby girl was in good hands.
“Made a good one, kid.” Rex praised you.
“Thanks Captain.” You chewed an ice chip.
“She’s beautiful.” Wrecked mused.
“It’s a girl?” Rex asked with wide eyes.
“Mhmm.” You smiled, “She has Hunter’s eyes.”
“Watch her have super hearing too.” Kix laughed.
“I didn’t even consider that might be passed down genetically.” You mulled.
“Well someone has an army of uncles to watch over her.” Bolts giggled watching as your daughter stretched a hand up into the sky almost grabbing for her father. Hunter instinctually brought her up to his chest and tucked her into his neck.
“He’s a natural.” You smiled.
“You both are.” Layla replied with a smile. She grabbed onto Kix’s hand as everyone seemed to have their eyes on Hunter.
Yeah you were…
You looked at your family with pure adoration. Your mates never taking their eyes off the precious cargo that Hunter Clutched protectively.
Even when they carried you back home to your nest, they never left you and the baby alone for a second. Everything was perfect.
You were happy, safe, and content.
The war was long behind you and the Empire no longer existed to you all.
You could watch your daughter grow up in peace, surrounded by those who love her.
She’d never know war, violence, and cruelty. You wished the 501st could have been here to get to live this, but you knew you all carried them within you everywhere you went. The refugees on Zyphor honored them everyday by choosing to be happy and free.
And that was all you needed.
You were happy… and free.

If I’m being honest, writing A Wolf’s Redemption is far more challenging than I initially expected. I knew finding a "lore-friendly" solution—one that makes at least some sense within the broader context of Dragon Age—would be the toughest hurdle. And, as it turns out, it absolutely is. But it's not the only hurdle.
TL;DR: I’m definitely overthinking this. I probably don’t need to be putting this much effort into making the fanfic sound believable—because, let’s be real, is anyone going to notice once we get there?
Me complaining below the cut, because it also has DATV spoilers.
Solavellan Hell:
- Striking the right balance in the narrative to ensure that Solas fully owns his responsibility while Lavellan supports him without taking over his role - Because this is his path to redemption, not hers. She is there to support, to help, to guide, to connect...but not actually be the ONE to solve the problem.
Portraying Solas:
1. Showing him being vulnerable/uneasy about working with others, while keeping his composure and doesn’t overall appear visibly nervous to others. 2. Avoids coming across as whiny (though, honestly, I don’t think he does—but readers may have differing opinions). 3. Balancing him still being a bit arrogant and instinctively being pulled back to his old ways out of habit, but also trying to show that he is resisting this pull.
Weaving together the established lore of DA with the new developments introduced in DATV.
Tackling the Blight:
- The shifting nature of the Blight in DATV, especially with Antoine and Evka discussing changes to the song. - The idea that it might now be harmonizing adds an intriguing and complex layer to address. - Concepts from lore and fan theories based on lore that talks about curing/weakening the blight and adding that into as a foundation for how Solas will cure/weaken/soothe the blight.
Harding's Companion Quest + Titans + Lyrium:
- The red lyrium they encountered is just angry lyrium, clarifying that it isn’t simply blighted lyrium. - Then connecting this information to information we learned about how the blight is created. - Taking information learned from Harding's companion quest and integrating it in to the theory of curing/weakening/soothing the blighted lyrium.
The 'Veilguard' and Rook:
I’m going to be honest—I’m completely ignoring them. There’s absolutely zero indication of what they’re doing afterward (besides presumably helping Thedas recover). The Veilguard was created by Varric to stop Solas. Solas was stopped. So… now what? I don't want to even try to touch that.
It’s just so much information to sift through and connect the dots to create something that sounds plausible. Honestly, I’m not even sure if it’s worth the effort—but I’m also a menace, and I need it to sound plausible. At the end of the day, making it plausible is more for my own satisfaction, with the hope that it also benefits and resonates with readers in a meaningful way.

Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple and how “ability users” (opposite to “normal people”) learning to accept themselves through the acceptance of their own abilities is a queer metaphor of acceptance of own's sexual orientation and gender: an essay by me
#bsd#bungou stray dogs#About: Dead Apple. Watched this a while ago with a friend and it was a lot of fun!!!#If you're reading this: thank you so much for hanging out with me I had such a good time (ㅅ´ ˘ )♡#Next to general considerations: wow they were right that Bungou Stray Dogs movie sure can Bungou Stray Dogs#It's always nice to see the detailed animation and elaborate backgrounds of movies. The animation quality compared to the manga is–#definitely noticeable and it's nice to see. That said... I still like the season 2 art style more? And I'm speaking strictly of art style.#The s2 one looks more soft and smooth while the da one is so much more rough.#The plot is... Very bsd-esque I don't think there's anything to add.#In my opinion Kyouka's arc is the one that turned out best tbh. I really like her narrative development and personal growth in this movie.#I like the complexity of her state of mind. how full of contradiction she is. I especially appreciate the recurring small changes of–#expression that indicate how she thinks differently from Atsushi even if she doesn't voice them. The fight between her cynicism and her–#kind nature. It's all very interesting.#Atsushi's development is interesting too. Although all the open questions about his ability we still have kind of leave me frustrated#I don't feel very strongly about Akutagawa in this movie? I mean‚ he's there. The ss/kk scenes are always great and in character and a joy–#to witness no matter what they do. He just doesn't shine particularly? Or at least personally I dont find the “proving my strength against–#myself” narrative arc to be particularly interesting. Imo it was a lot better flashed out in the da stage play! With the complexity that–#the dialogues with Chuuya added to the character. Dazai attacking him. And especially Aktgw understanding that Rashomon wasn't testing Aktg#but rather only expressing that unstoppable rage that is also Aktgw's own. About that I checked out the play and I really liked it!!#I only watched highlights (aka: ss/kk and chuu/aku scenes) but there's some stuff I really like. I like the conflict between Aktgw and–#Chuuya and how Chuuya messes up with Aktgw at first maliciously and then amiably. It's interesting how Atsushi himself observes that Kyouka#and Akutagawa get along. And especially the sskk almost-handholding and Atsushi saying Akutagawa has a nice profile were cute akjdhbsawhjb#Next. Da really is shipping paradise (╥﹏╥) Sorry but... It is. oda/zai. daz/atsu. ss/kk. s/kk. fuku/mori. chuu/aku. It really has everythin#and the moments are so good!!!! What else. Wish we'd see more of Tsujimura. And Christie. And women in general tbh.#Also‚‚‚‚‚ Atsushi's tiger form in this movie is ATROCIOUS. I've said it before but it's crazy how a franchises that relies so heavily on–#fanservice came up with something this hideous. Man the movie overall was pretty but Atsushi sure wasn't. Firmly stand by the belief–#that only Akutagawa would find that form attractive.#Oh last note. honestly if we're ready to accept a movie where an antidote has effect AFTER the person has effectively died then we really–#can't complain about any kind of insanity the manga brings up#random rambles

every time i see someone mischaracterize matthias as a dumb, blonde, malewife with no personality except being nina's (dead) boyfriend i want to fistfight god and cause the mass extinction of humanity
#because like did we read the same books?#yeah matthias is a great boyfriend and sort of malewife-y#thats not the only part of his character!#like he isnt just some random character who only exists to make nina seem like a girlboss#he has so much character potential and development#just because leigh bardugo didnt make him have some big personality and act all main character-y#doesnt mean he's flat and boring and 2 dimensional#honestly leigh sort of wronged him by not giving her more relationships and development with other characters#and not giving him more development in genera#but from what she did give him#hes great#i get so sick of mischaracterization and lack of media literacy#six of crows#soc#six of crows fandom#matthias helvar#crooked kingdom#nina zenik#helnik#sort of#not sure if the nina tag and helnik tag really apply#but like the relationship and nina are both mentioned so i added it to be safe#mischaracterization#media literacy#or lack thereof

Look.
Ace Attorney fandom.
I know why people don't like Turnabout Bigtop. I am among the people who dislike Turnabout Bigtop.
But I GET why people like the case. I'm not going to be one of those annoying people who just blindly dump on it because I hate those mfs too.
Thing about Bigtop isn't that it sucks. Thing isn't the weird grooming stuff (though that is a huge part of it). It's not that it could've been good.
It's that - in my personal OPINION - it could have been *great*.
I think it had the potential to be one of the best third cases in the trilogy. It had everything; a fun and goofy setting fit for a pretty dang goofy lawyer game - where the environment itself had jokes and quips and one-liners and mishaps and tomfoolery written all over it, it had the previous case introducing a very interesting and important plotline that gave background for one of the more well-loved characters while also introducing an equally fucked up and lovable new one who was a child forced into a shit childhood of naivete in a CIRCUS with another character who was very naive and childish - whose interactions could have been funny and cute and reflective of said shit from the previous case (seriously she becomes such an important character in the 4th case, WHY would they not include her in this one for some character development? How did they fuck up letting a CHILD explore a CIRCUS?? That would have made the interactions flow MUCH better).
They had a pretty good, sympathetic killer imo, a morally dubious victim, an asshole of a client (who was pretty flat admittedly in-game, but I like his weird, topsy-turvy reasoning for it in the anime. Also, I think Max being kinda a dick would have bode well for the themes of Farewell since most of his clients up to this point have been like...nice? Not nice, but sympathetic, but him having to defend someone who's innocent but a prick would have shown him that just because someone is an asshole, doesn't mean they deserve to suffer for it and that they have the potential to grow as people, which is almost a complete foil to what Matt was. Ultimately, I would have loved the contrast of them as clients and I think it would have also served as character development for Phoenix, especially with his low-empathy tendencies).
They just didn't think that far ahead. They just didn't execute it well enough. They just decided to make three of the adult characters fight for the hand in marriage of a teenage girl. (Bat's part of the story was actually kinda good if he was just YOUNGER, I think him doing that for Regina would have been a stupid thing someone in the circus would do to impress their crush. Damn you Ace Attorney and your weird treatment of underage girls!!)
It just flopped and that's ok.
Even though it kinda sucked, it can still mean something to me.
Also I'm a Moe Curls apologist. I liked him, shut up.
#didn't care for the dialogue either.#DON'T GET ME STARTED ABOUT FRANZISKA DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T YOU DARE GET ME STARTED#THIS CASE WAS SO GOOD FOR HER DEVELOPMENT THAT'S NOT EVEN A “COULD HAVE” THING#sure she could've been fleshed out a bit more#but the stuff we get from our interactions with her in this case is GOOD. SHIT. It's just that this case is so hated that it's overshadowed#and yeah. i like Moe Curls. i think he's cool and he added some flair in an otherwise bleak case.#i think his whole unfunny clown schtick was very entertaining. it reminded me of this one shel silverstein poem i loved as a kid#clooney the clown.#tbh ive wanted to rewrite Bigtop for a while now#get a script together and all that. but im an amateur writer who's burnt out as shit and never posts anything writing related#except analysis i get way too excited and proud of. oh well#maybe someday.#also rq why does every other tripple-a game get really good in depth analysis video essays#with their complex literary themes talked about#but with Ace Attorney - a game about reading longer than most books - half the fans have the absolute most dogshit literacy comprehension#it's actually painful. ESPECIALLY with Franziska's character#anyway i'll stop.#ace attorney trilogy#ace attorney#ace attorney justice for all#turnabout big top#franziska von karma#phoenix wright#phoenix wright ace attorney#pearl fey#farewell my turnabout#moe curls#regina berry#ig ore if this is incomprehensible i did not proofread this.#i simply do not like how fran's only traits to somea these mfs is “annoying overemotional teenager haha grumpy whip lady”

Now why is the French translation hosted on Webtoon SO much better than the official English translation, holy shit...(I know the bar is not high, but still...Having access to such an improved alternative on Webtoon itself...)
#tower of god#gotta post some excerps if even only for my own reference/easy enjoyment because hello???#not only am I sure that they're straight up closer to the text but it's also just...so much more epic as a reading experience??#(I've only read all the Zahard and most of the Traumerei scenes so far but there is still so much stuff that's just...better lol)#Wish I was more fluent so I had to stop and look up words less fequently but c'est la vie#highly recommend to anyone capable of moderate french for sure though as said#cannot speak for anything beyond the Zahard/big lore and Traumerei sections so far but highly optimistic#(now obviously some stuff is the same regardless of translation. but for anything beyond the very basics#even seeming minor differences in expressing the same thing just feel so much better here...#“Zahard quickly developed feelings for her” vs “right from the start Zahard had a crush on her” as just one example#but there are also many scenes where it's 1) less ambiguous 2) added extra meaning)

Me seeing these bad bitches as a kid
“You can do that? You can dress like that AND be cool? Woagh”
Me now: wait. is this why I’m goth?
#emma posts#avalon web of magic#danny phantom#to be fair more things than that influenced me#and half of it was seeing other stuff about them and being like ‘she’s just like me fr’#but i don’t doubt that this had a heavy influence on my current wardrobe#in that sense of ‘they inspired me to explore this’#when you are really little all the hero characters fight people dressed cool so you feel like it’s bad#and then THESE TWO came up#I feel like I’m forgetting someone…#OH MY FUCKING GOD! HOW COULD I FORGET RAVEN?!#I added her#i have a sticker with raven on my LITTERAL FUCKING LAPTOP#and I just forgor? groans#I always loved purple and my music taste went into that direction over time but I definitely think these girls had an impact#to be fair evanescence did also alter my brain chemistry at a key point in development#raven teen titans#thinks these are some of the coolest characters as a kid. listens to evanescence during my early teens. went full goth#a few years out of highschool ‘no dress code to bind me except the law’s rules on public indecency’#slowly transforms into my new adult self ‘mother. I am goth’#also. I misremembered Sam’s skirt as having purple print for so long#I was like ‘purple and black skirt is so cool’#I actually bought a few vaguely like it#and then you tell me it is GREEN???

Anastasia the Musical sucks so bad. They really said "We're gonna cut the best song from the movie - just axe the absolute banger that is 'In the Dark of the Night' - because we are being SERIOUS and GROWN-UP now. We are A Big Historical Realism Musical Now. This is FOR REAL, okay!? We don't have a SILLY villain like Rasputin! We have Gleb! [Please Just Clap.] We are HISTORICALLY GROUNDED. -- Anyway, here's a musical unironically glorifying the Russian monarchy~~ 💖😌💖😌💖😌💖"
#anastasia#anastasia musical#Anastasia movie#anastasia the musical#that said everything added in relation to Sophie and Vlad was 👌👌👌 chef's kiss#to add insult to injury they use the tune from in the dark of the night in a solemn dirge about the pain of having to leave one's country#I'm not actually against adding more historical realism into Anastasia but you have to give the monarchy that treatment as well#if you want to actually reckon with the oppressive regime of Russia in that time period you can't give a free pass to the monarchy#they're like completely uninterested in why the revolution happened and everything in relation to the royal family is#this glittering nostalgic shallow thing. which also describes the original but that at least had a campy magical historical fiction angle#that made suspending disbelief pretty easy. also how dare you add more ballads i mean for fuck's sake#I don't care if Anya and Dimitri saw each other TWO times as children instead of one! i don't care! i don't need a 6 minute song about it!#he's like 🎵 i saw you in a parade once. gosh the monarchy sure had some pretty parades and beautiful spectacle 🎵#and she's like 🎵 omg i remember you that's crazy i sure did love being a part of the family of the Czar 🎵#if you're going to add an introspective song maybe have Anastasia reckon with how her father was a great father and a violent ruler!#maybe address the inherent emotional conflict of grieving genuine trauma and also recognizing the fault of the ruling class.#i have memories of rewinding the movie just for a second or third viewing of 'in the dark of the night'#memories of jamming out to it in the car with my friends. then clicking skip 100+ times on my friend's ipod shuffle just to play it again#original#been a while since I saw the musical but I still get mad about this sometimes. half-assed ''Realism'' means less fun and more glaring flaws#please just clap#it's not like there's nothing there to develop it's just that they did it bad. I'm fine with adding a sad song about leaving home but ffs#also why not make Gleb a campy weirdo? he's SO. BORING. at least fuck up in an entertaining way.

no fear
"Bloober remaking Silent Hill 3, which has far fewer defenders because the game gets classified either as 'cult crap' or 'women's horror,' ignoring its psychological elements"
one fear
#I don't think you understand. sh3 is my beloved#it is intensely personal to me in the way that sh2 is intensely personal to many others#I don't think I could handle people going 'OLD GRAPHICS BAD VOICE ACTING HALF-BAKED PLOT' at sh3 because. well.#we've known its plot was half-baked for decades#they rushed that shit out the door. and yet even then sh3 manages to be pretty great#the technical feats team silent accomplished on the ps2 in sh3 have no rival#really even in its predecessor or its successor#I genuinely believe that had sh3 had more time in the oven it could have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with sh2#if not surpass it in some aspects#like. do you guys know how realized these characters are? heather especially?#it's easy to dismiss her as a 'bratty teenager' now but back in 2003 you would have NEVER. seen a character like her in horror#there are so many other things about sh3 I could gush about but they'd only scratch the surface of why I love the game#and that in conclusion is why I dread the idea of bloober getting their mitts on it#my only consolation is the thought that sh3 isn't popular enough to warrant demand for a remake#but then again sh2's popularity didn't prevent people from revising the history and context of its development#so who knows what ad-hoc justifications remake fans would be willing to invent when it comes to 3#all in all if worse comes to worst I'll look forward to people saying heather's facial animations look 'outdated' or some shit :>

hate to be a hater on the main … but this season of ted lasso excels (once again) at team dynamic and the found family elements and i think the finale absolutely nailed that, i cried, i laughed, it was perfect on that. now as for the individual stories and relationships… yeah, let’s leave it at that
#(rant below ignore me)#i think making longer episodes allowed them to add stories that felt so pointless to me#what was the point of zava? to make jamie understand something about himself? could have done that better with just the roy plot#i would have understood roy and keeley breaking up of it was like ‘let’s both grow as individuals’#and roy kinda did but apparently not enough because his plot at the end is how he do better so i guess he didn’t#jamie had the best development only to then lose part of it by throwing the random video comment?? like why??#keeley my love … from the random friend that added nothing to the story to an undervelopped love interest plot line … they did u so dirty#why the hell was ted so emotionally off this last episode instead of actually talking the time to proper end things with london and everyone#rebecca was SOBBING and ted was like ‘well gotta go’ ??#it’s not about the ship or anything but what ?? and rebecca … love that she stayed with the club#but to have her end up with some random creepy man she met once and whose name WE DONT EVEN KNOW#i have no issues with ted going home to his son. it makes perfect sense. but it felt so weird#the nate plot was wrapped kinda poorly too??#sam colin and most of the guys from the team were amazing#and the found family and team dynamic was still amazing as always#the beard and jane relationship was always weird to me because it feels like joke after joke of.. abuse?#do they get married or was it a dream?? and if so was the whole sequence a dream? and if it wasn’t WHO DID THE CGI FOR THE WEDDING 💀#we spent more time with these characters this season and it doesn’t feel that way and idk this season felt weird at so many points#I LOVE THIS SHOW I DO!! first 2 seasons are one of my all time favourite seasons of a sitcom!! and i still enjoyed a lot about s3 <33#anyway sorry to be a hater on the main but it was just a weird season to end it on#anti ted lasso#<- i really don’t wanna upset anyone i just felt like ranting a little 💀 pls don’t hate me#ted lasso spoilers

I've been digging up some one of my most neglected stories recently and I'm finally actually developing the rest of the cast after like what? 7 or 8 years or smth? I genuinely don't know when I first thought up Lace but she's been floating at the edge of my mind since then as my token true timeloop guy as opposed to Butters who doesn't rly count because the quote unquote timeloop was entirely within their control and only was a continuous loop because they kept consciously trying again and again. Lace on the other hand. Legitimately 100% powerless in her timeloop situation, as in there was quite literally Nothing she could do to end the loops herself. Some gods just threw her in a 50 year timeloop without even doing the bare minimum of telling her first and she just sorta had to live with that until it from her perspective abruptly stopped leaving her to deal with the fallout of everything she went through now that she's suddenly being forced to live a real life again. And as fun as all of that is it has been very stagnated for years because there is in fact a story and world that exists outside of and around this one plot that matter quite a bit and that I have been refusing to properly work on until now lol.
#rat rambles#oc posting#take a wild guess as to why Im thinking abt this story again#anyways longggg story short this is a world filled with various gods that run various kingdoms and such#and some of them have been at war for a long time leaving things for the common folk very unstable and chaotic#due to this adventuring parties started helping ppl out and some of them would gain the blessing of their local god(s)#nowadays its very uncommon for there to be prevelant parties without at least one blessed member and theres some gods who even have set up#schools of sorts for aspiring heros that tend to be very competitive and hard to get into#in the original version of the timeline of this story most of the cast except one met at this school and graduated as a party together#they proceeded to travel around doing their work and picking up their last party member and bonding and all that#until eventually they found out that the god they work under was planning some apocalypse level shit in order to establish control over the#entire planet and the crew turned on her and tried to stop her and got close enough that she took desperate mesures to stop them#she contacted the god of time and commissioned them to rewind and edit the timeline#and while the timeline editing meant that they couldnt rewind enough to go before two of the party were attending the school#they were able to rewrite lace out of the timeline and was able to help sentence them to a timeloop sentence#lace was specifically targeted for being the one who figured most of this stuff out in the first place#now this is where the timeline get a bit wonky because her timeloop actually takes place later on then when time was reset to#it mostly just took a while to get the loop set up but its still a mostly undetermined amount of time later atm as it rly depends on whats#most convenient for me as I develop the rest of her old party more#since they still end up forming a party together anyways despite the best efforts of two powerful gods#Im also planning on adding another member to their party who wasnt in the original party so lace can get upset abt it#but yeah currently the rest of the party includes lace's unnamed older sister and three other losers whos designs have been sitting on my#toyhouse for a while lol#theres raiden who's the sort of adopted child of the god they used to serve#and the theres hill who was the one in the original party who they picked up after graduating and she and lace used to be gay together#and lastly theres choice who was supposed to attend the school but in the current version of reality had their wagon shot down and#wasnt able to make it and has been rly upset and frustrated abt that#the last one is probably going to be a potion guy or smth#Ive also been having a fun time thinkng abt how both versions of the party managed combat since both parties distinctly lack a healer#anyways Im going to bed now gn

There was this park near where I grew up. I remember we’d just moved to the area so I was around six and we drove past and saw this waterfront area. My parents decided to check it out so we went for a walk. It was a lovely park, there’s a lazy slough, lots of trees, extremely picturesque. My parents ambled along the trail enjoying the nature while my siblings and I ranged around in their orbit like excitable moons.
Then I saw something odd. Something vibrantly alive down by the water that was entirely the wrong color. I called back my vital scouting info and my family gathered around me. We looked down the steep verge toward the slough, screened by underbrush. We couldn’t quite make out what it was. The only thing we could agree was that it certainly wasn’t a duck. However it was about duck sized and roughly duck shaped. It just wasn’t a duck.
This led to some heated debate amongst my siblings and I but we were forbidden to scramble down the muddy hill to harass the mystery animal. Reluctantly we continued down the trail, speculating wildly when a chicken popped out of a bush in front of us with a train of several chicks.
We froze. The chicken did not. She placidly herded her little puffs across the trail, pecking happily for seeds, unbothered by our proximity. My family had not yet delved into farming and this was the first time any of us kids had seen a chicken up close. It was like a fairytale thing, a creature we had seen over and over in books was suddenly here in the wilderness of the park. We all realized the mystery creature had likewise been a chicken.
Another couple came up the trail and saw us staring.
“Is this your first time at the park?” They asked?
We nodded.
They informed us that this park had become a dumping ground for unwanted chickens. Once the chickens were dumped they were park property and the locals didn’t mind the eccentric additions at all. No one looked after the chickens, but they got on surprisingly well.
As the years went by we visited the park regularly. Signs were added to warn people not to dump off chickens or they’d be fined. They were also excluded from snatching the existing chickens. The hope was that the chickens would eventually run their course and the park would go back to normal.
It did not.
Instead the menagerie grew. Peacocks cropped up occasionally, turkeys; and one visit we saw guinea fowl. But there were always chickens. Eventually feed dispenser were installed so park goers could pay a quarter to enjoy the motley flocks.
Because we’d moved into a house with land my mom started up a chicken coop and we got our very own chickens at the feed store like proper folks. The first rooster we had was a gentleman, politely clucking at us when came into the coop, but the second proved troublesome a year later. He either adored or hated me. Every time I entered the coop he’d dance and flounce and brandish his spurs.
My mom didn’t want to off him frankly she didn’t know how at that point but his fascination ended with him flying at me and the rooster was sentenced to banishment.
We drove to the park.
We saw him there for years afterward, clucking dutifully around a small flock of hens. He did pretty well in exile.
Anyone who’s kept chickens knows that eventually there’s always a tragedy. Ours happened when a neighbors dog broke into our coop and slaughtered the flock. I was absolutely distraught, my lovingly hand reared chicks all decimated in a flurry of senseless bloodlust. I have not loved a chicken since. They are too fragile to bear it.
After a few days of mourning my mom offered that she knew where to find some more chickens. To make up for the massacre she planned a night raid with us. We stayed up past our bedtime and drove to the park with tarp covered kennels in the back of the truck.
We crept down along the gravel parking lot, looking up into the trees, spotting the telltale lumps of shadows that meant chickens. We quickly developed a strategy. We picked a chicken branch, creeping close underneath. Then we reached the end of the branch and gave it a good shake until the roosting chicken glided down to the ground in confusion. It was easy to scoop them up and we went home the proud new owner of a handsome flock of chickens.
The Take a Chicken Leave a Chicken park is still a beloved feature of its neighborhood to this day.
