What Tragic Greek Figure is Your OC?

Tagged by @cobb-vanthss​ to take this uquiz for some of my kiddos!

Tagging: @mtwalker​ @name123things​ @foofygoldfish​ @amistrio​ I’m not sure who else has done this, sorry for double tags!

-Katherine Adler-

Achilles - best of the greeks, eager for honor, and quick to rage: you could easily live content and easy until you're gray-haired, but glory and fame call for you just beyond the horizon. you are not prone to self-reflection and trip into the same pits of wrath at bruised pride over and over. are you truly ready to sacrifice everything so that your name will be immortalized? is your fury what you want to be remembered for?

-Mina Korso-

Icarus - what is there to be said of icarus? you were warned, yet you persisted, imprudently. but what of your first taste of liberation? the exhilaration that follows the first ray of the sun to touch you as you are, as a free man, makes you drunk on joy. we all know the foolish things that drunken people are capable of. was the fall as thrilling as the flight?

The biggest of hugs and thank you’s to @chyrstis who was my secret Santa and made these beautiful edits of my oc’s.

I love all of them, and I will be staring at them for a long, long time 💖

The first is of Katherine and Jeremy—although for some reason the meiker didn’t have Katherine as a name?? Which surprised me a bit tbh. Anyway, I basically write those two as a Hallmark movie anyway, so this was very fitting for them. Also yes “A Puppy for Christmas” is supposed to be a joke lol

The second is of Mina and Din. "Buff single dad” was too good a descriptor to pass up 😂 Anyway, this was very cute and a lot of fun to do!

Not tagging anyone because I’m a bit late to the party, but here are the links and if anyone does them please tag me! I’d love to see! M/F  F/F  M/M  NB

actions & consequences?

Thank you!!

This WIP is an angsty one I wrote for Mina and Din. I set it after the Book of Boba Fett (so minor spoilers?). Din goes to find his people, but he’s left Mina with her cousin again in the meantime, and then everything on Tatooine happens and eventually Mina finds out about it (thanks Raza). So when Din finally shows up again he doesn’t get the reunion he had hoped for.

Here’s a snippet:

“I didn’t think—“

“What was I supposed to do if you’d died?”

She hadn’t meant to say that. She hadn’t meant to push her fears onto him when he was obviously going through a sort of crisis that she couldn’t possibly understand—but it was too late now.

The silence that descended upon them was heavy. It tightened its grip around her throat and snaked down to steal the air from her lungs and sit its dense weight on her chest. Din could only stare at her.

“Mina,” he whispered. He sounded lost; shocked by her outburst and unsure of how to bridge the growing gap between them.

Mina turned her back to him and crossed the room blindly, wiping tears from her cheeks. After another moment of silence she heard the soft clink of metal, and the sound of his chair scraping across the floor.

“Mina,” he said again, but there was no static in his voice this time. When she turned she felt the remaining anger still bubbling inside of her fizzle at the sight of his handsome face.

Her vision blurred and she blinked the tears away. She didn’t trust herself to speak, so instead she raised a hand to cup the side of his face and urged him forward so she could rest his forehead against her own.

Playing with the other’s hair - 👀

Thank you!!

I wanted to challenge myself to see how many prompts I could get done, so I picked a prompt list and used a number generator to pick a random prompt. The first one I started with was the prompt “Playing with the other’s hair,” but I’m not doing very well with the challenge considering it’s still not done lol 😂

Here’s a snippet:

Mina reached forward, pausing when her fingers brushed the lip of his helmet. Her eyes flicked to the pitch black of his visor, and she inclined her head in question. She wouldn’t remove it if he didn’t want her to. He was becoming more comfortable having it off when it was just the two of them, but she didn’t want to pressure him.

Din didn’t say anything, just gave her a short nod, and Mina took it as all the confirmation she would get to continue. She carefully lifted the beskar off of his head, her eyes eager as they darted over every inch of exposed skin—chin, stubble, lips, nose—before finally revealing the comforting sight of his dark-brown eyes.

When he was free of his helmet Mina hummed with amusement at the unruly state of his hair; stuck up at odd angles on the top of his head and matted down with sweat in others. She grinned as a memory slowly unfurled from the deep recesses of her childhood, and she sat up eagerly, an idea taking root in her mind.

[geronimo-11]

Welcome aboard!!

Thank you!! This is the first installment in the Mina/Din canon, in which they have their first meeting and Mina has to convince Din to take her to see her cousin. It's also the piece I keep talking about that's almost done, but not quite lol.

Here's a snippet: “If you won’t help me, that's fine. I’ll just go find someone who will.”

She turned to leave and this time it was Din trailing after her.

"Wait," he said. The woman turned to face him, brows raised expectantly and he frowned to himself. He shouldn't be doing this. He should let her go, get on his ship, and take off with the kid like he had originally planned. He shouldn't be taking unnecessary detours--especially not potentially dangerous ones like he was certain this would turn out to be. But he was low on credits as it was, and not only did she seem to have credits to spare, she had beskar hidden away somewhere. A lot more, her words echoed back to him. He sighed.

"I can't take you all the way to Corellia. But," he amended, holding up a hand when she opened her mouth to speak. "I can take you halfway. I'll at least get you somewhere that will be able to take you the rest of the way."

She considered his offer for a moment, shifting on her feet. The credits in her bag clinked tantalizingly and Din flexed his fingers by his side. Finally, she nodded.

"Deal."

"Not so fast," Din said. "I want to make sure you understand that I'm not doing this for free. I want exactly what you promised. The beskar. All of it."

The woman frowned at him. "You really think a halfway trip is worth that?"

"Do you have another choice?" Din countered. She pressed her lips into a thin line, clearly not happy with him having the upper hand. But he was right, she must not have had another choice, because she sighed and looked up at him carefully.

"Fine. You get me halfway, I give you all the beskar I have," she agreed. She held her hand out for him, catching Din slightly off guard. He only hesitated a moment before clasping his hand around hers, giving it one firm shake.

If you think I’ll ever get tired of writing pining/fluff/sappy things for Mina and Din then you’re wrong. So, so wrong.

It’s also all I can seem to write at the moment, so take this Soft Moment between them set recently after Mina’s rescued from Nibir

——————————

She’s in a deep sleep. Din can feel the steady rise and fall of her breathing where his arm is draped over her waist. There was a small part of him that still couldn’t believe she was there. It had been months since the last time he saw her; when he had to watch her walk onto her cousins ship and fly off to Corellia.

He had been sure he’d never see her again, and there’s a part of him that worries if he closes his eyes now, that he’ll wake up and she’ll be gone. That she’ll slip through his fingers like the fading remnants of a good dream. The thought makes his hand tighten on her hip and he lets the silky fabric of her nightgown under his fingers ground him back to the present. She was really there, with him, and she wasn’t going anywhere.

His thumb rubs circles on her hip and he tries to focus on her breathing in the hopes it will lull him to sleep. They’ve been in this position once before, but it was different then. He had kept his helmet on, for one, and they’d been in the cramped confines of his quarters on the Razor Crest. There had also been an unspoken rule that whatever feelings were growing between them should remain just that—unspoken.

But now? Now he pulled Mina towards him until her back was flush to his chest. He buried his nose in her hair and pressed a kiss just below her ear. She stirred in his arms and for a moment Din thought that maybe she would wake, but she only gave a happy hum before settling down more comfortably against him.

WIP Day!

I was tagged by @chyrstis and @nightwingshero a long time ago — thank you both!!

Tagging: @cobb-vanthss @teamhawkeye @foofygoldfish @redroci

I’ve unfortunately been in a writing slump lately, which sucks for many reasons, but mostly because I was looking forward to writing a lot this summer and I just can’t seem to find the desire/energy to do it 😓

However! I’ve been working on little things whenever the inspiration strikes, so here are a few things I’ve started working on to try and jump back in again:

Mina/Din modern!au (This is the one you inspired Chy 😉)

——————

She had resigned herself to a quiet night alone when she heard it; a series of soft thumps coming from the direction of her front door. Mina stilled, sitting silently for a moment to see if it happened again. She thought maybe she was imagining things when the only sound to be heard was the ticking of the clock on the wall. Turning back to her book she lost herself in the words on the page once more—

Thump...thump...thump...

Well, she was sure that she wasn’t hearing things now. Her book forgotten on the couch, Mina approached her door slowly. It was too late for visitors, Raza or Cobb would have announced themselves by now, and she still hadn’t heard anything from Din. There was no telling who was on the other side of her door. It could be kids pulling a prank... or it could not.

As a precaution Mina reached for the umbrella she kept perched by the door. She really should have taken Raza’s advice and kept a baseball bat there as well—she’d immediately shot down Cobb’s suggestion of a gun—and she could hear her friend chiding her in her mind as she looked out the peephole with shaking hands.

There was no one in the hall.

——————

Some Katherine/Jeremy fluff from after their first kiss 👀

——————

A beat, then, “Was that all?”

He wasn’t trying to be dismissive, she’d just been flitting from topic to topic so quickly that he was trying to tell if she was really done talking or not.

Katherine chewed nervously on her bottom lip, leaning back into the sofa and gripping her cell phone a little tighter. He sounded worried, continuing when she didn’t answer.

“Katherine-“

“We kissed,” She blurted before her nerves could send her running and make her hang up the phone like a coward. Jeremy said nothing. She checked her phone to make sure she hadn’t accidentally hung up or lost signal before bringing it back to her ear.

“Yes, we did.” He was smiling. Katherine could hear it in his voice. She could picture the slight curl of his lips clearly in her mind, and it caused a smile of her own to spread across her face.

“It was... nice,” she continued. On the other end of the line she heard Jeremy chuckle.

“Yes, it was. Very nice,” he answered. Katherine felt her cheeks warm and she bit at her thumbnail as she tried to control her grin.

She felt a bit ridiculous, getting flustered and talking about a kiss like this over the phone as if she was still in high school. But the half of her that wanted to know if there’d be a chance for them to do it again—and soon—greatly outweighed the embarrassed half.

“Should we, um,” she cleared her throat, pulled at a loose thread on the blanket draped across her lap, and tried again. “Should we probably talk about it?”

“I thought that was what we were doing,” Jeremy answered smoothly. Katherine rolled her eyes.

“Very funny. You know what I mean.”

His response was half a laugh, half a sigh.

“I know, and you’re right. We should probably talk.” The teasing tone in his voice was strained. Katherine felt her stomach tense.

“Well, when you say it like that...” she trailed off with a shaky laugh. Jeremy was quiet on the other end and it did nothing to quell her rising nerves.

-Mina Korso-

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

'Cause I'll breathe

When they try to suffocate me

Don't you underestimate me

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Speechless // Naomi Scott

————————

She’s staring at him again, amber eyes wide in wonder as she takes in his face up close for the first time. Her fingers scratch lightly against the stubble on his chin and she traces the line of his jaw delicately, like she’s afraid he’ll vanish or crumble apart in her hands if she moves too quickly. Her eyes meet his and pin him in place.

“Your eyes are brown,” she says, fondness and admiration dripping from her words like honey and sticking to his insides. All he can do is laugh, a sharp gust of air from his lungs and past his lips, making the wisps of hair around her face dance against her skin. Leaning forward Mina presses her forehead to his and a breathless laugh of her own brushes past her lips and against his cheeks.

Mina/Din - Bodyguard AU? *eyes*

Thank you so much!!

Bodyguard AU: Who is the bodyguard? Who are they protecting? Which one is secretly pining for the other? 

Ooo! Okay, so I feel like this could be set in either canon or modern but... Modern is more fun lol.

So, Din is the bodyguard. Greef tells him about a potential job that’s supposed to be easy money, and way more than Din’s made on his last two jobs combined. He finds out that he has to protect the heiress of some wealthy family and thinks it’s going to be mindless babysitting work... at first.

But then he actually meets Mina and she’s beautiful and kind and intelligent and buys him lunch when she gets hers. (“I’m not supposed to be eating, I’m supposed to be protecting you.” “I don’t like eating alone. Besides, if you pass out from hunger you’ll be absolutely useless to me.”) Din falls hard and fast, and he actually accepts the offer to extend his contract just because she asked him to.

There’s definitely some angst thrown in because she’s an heiress and is engaged to some big-shot CEO (cough Silas cough) but I’m also a complete sap, so there’s definitely a lot of fluff and a happy ending 🥰

The Mandalorian froze. He set the child in his makeshift cot before he turned to her, his shoulders squared. He approached her slowly, and as he grew closer — beskar shining in the dim light and covered head to toe in weapons — Mina became increasingly aware of the fact that the man in front of her was a killer. And he probably wouldn’t hesitate to kill her, too. Mina lifted her chin and hoped he wouldn’t notice her legs were shaking.

“You really think you’re in a position to make demands?”

The second she finds the hair at the nape of his neck the spell is broken.

His hand flies from her back to her wrist and keeps her from moving any further. He can already see the regret in her eyes as he pulls her hand away and leans his head back, moving out of her space and settling his helmet more securely on his head; even though it’d barely moved.

“I’m sorry,” she’s quick to apologize, her voice soft. Din sighs and trails the back of his fingers against her cheek.

It’s not the first time things have nearly gone too far between them.

But it is the first time he almost wished they had.
