Drabble Kinktober Day 22

Somnophilia | Humiliation | Size Kink

Ship: Thire/Thorn

Links: AO3 / List on Reddit / Pose reference: color study: peach tones by @cacodaemonia (leave them some love!)

.

Thorn gentles the movement of his hips until he's barely rocking into Thire, lifting his head to look him in the eyes.

"Where did you go?" he asks softly, "stay with me, here."

Thire nods stupidly and strains up into a kiss in distraction that Thorn allows him, not willing to tell him that he got lost in the feeling of warmth and safety, encased by Thorn as he is.

His broad body blankets him completely, and with the arm he's got under his shoulders and Thire's legs pushed up towards his chest, Thorn is everywhere around him, shielding him.

This time I'm doing it right:

Fives/Echo for the kiss prompts?

Fives/Echo my beloved! 💙🤍 Have them being cute together while one of them is a bit sick but not badly so.

6. A gentle peck

There was a misshapen lump in his bunk that hadn't been there when Echo left for his meeting with Rex.

It had been in the bunk above his.

With a raised eyebrow, Echo walked steadily closer. Once he got close enough, his ears caught the suffering groan the lump made as it rolled on its side. The blankets (of course, Fives' had stolen Echo's blanket) parted enough to reveal Fives' messy curls and parts of his forehead.

Leaving his helmet on Fives' bunk, Echo sat down and rested a hand where he guessed the other's side to be. "Hey."

The lump of vod and blankets shifted again and this time Fives' whole face emerged. Echo grimaced a little at the redness of Fives' nose and cheeks.

"You look like shit," Echo said softly, reaching to cup Fives' cheek, thumb gently rubbing the thin skin beneath his eye.

Fives snorted, looking just a bit less miserable. "You really know how to compliment a brother," he muttered but the expression on his face was pure relief when he leaned into Echo's touch.

"When it's time for your next dose?" Echo asked, and Fives hummed.

"In an hour. Need to eat something before that, though." Fives' nose wrinkled, the thought of having to eat clearly unpleasant in his current state. "Could you get me something from the mess? Every time I stand up, the floor starts moving."

Echo nodded with a smile. "No problem, cyare. I'll grab you some gray cubes."

Echo chuckled when Fives' nose wrinkled even more, his whole face expressing extreme dislike. But it was telling how he didn't ask Echo to bring him something else. The gray cubes (what they were supposed really to be, Echo had no idea) were probably the blandest of foods ever to come out of Kamino, but they were still nutritious enough for Fives' sick body.

Planting his free hand next to Fives' head, Echo leaned over. "I'll be back soon, then," he promised and pecked Fives' brow, smiling when he heard the other sigh happily at the touch.

Sitting up, Echo caressed the flushed cheek for a few seconds, then made sure the blankets were tucked securely around Fives before he got up. He grabbed his helmet and walked out of the bunk room with quick steps, looking very much like an ARC trooper on a mission that he was.

This one sounds really intriguing 👀

The burning house (star wars - soft wars universe)

[meme link here]

The Burning House is inspired by WinterComets Too Late series.

I take the concept of Rex being abducted by persons unknown and try to play with politics introduced in the Sequel triology in the Soft Wars universe. Because hey, the Vode are free but what happened to all those Palpatine cronies positively drooling about the concept of an Empire?!!! (Was Rex taken by them? :shakes magic 8 ball: :Ask again later appears:)

Excerpt:

Clothed in a fresh uniform, the tingling feeling of the maximum sonic setting still humming in her bones, [X] makes her way from the crew quarters to Medical. [insert some description of walk, smells sounds etc] She nods to the troopers stationed at the [creche]entrance.

The doors snap shut behind her and she crosses the short hallway into an oberservation room. Technicians are observing readouts on a low bank of monitors. […] Through the wide windows she observes the children on the other side, each in their own little transparisteel pods, clothed in gray shifts. Most are cowering in a corner, some sleeping, some crying. With a satisfied smile she thinks, “You will bring Glory to the Empire. ”

What’s something you’ve learned about while doing research for a fic?

I mean, that is an incredibly broad question...

I live in the nitty-gritty of the worldbuilding so my fics tend to be meticulously researched. I have read an entire book about arranged marriages in medieval europe, translated vows of fealty and learned how spy networks during the middle ages worked, and that's just for OWBABH!

In more recent writing history, for my nano project I've done a deep dive into celtic and germanic fairy tales and the concept of witches and witchcraft during the middle ages. Also as always the intricacies of medieval aristocracy and warfare as well as fashion

Thanks for the tags, @theproblemwithstardust and @petrifiedforests! <3

I'm hoping to get some writing done this morning, but here's a line from the three paragraphs I got written yesterday:

So she only complained to Wax a little bit—and very quietly—when she found out that Bo and Wobble weren't coming to the sleepover.

Podfic Stats! 2023 was my first real attempt at dedicated tracking.

Some fun ones:

Authors I podded the most were:

@blackkatmagic across 39 podfics

@wanderingjedihistorian across 36 podfics

myself across 17 podfics

@cacodaemonia across 15 podfics

@petrifiedforests across 11 podfics

My most productive months, tracked by posting date (rather than created date), were:

December with 24 hours, 18 minutes, and 44 seconds posted

May with 19 hours, 37 minutes, and 35 seconds posted

August with 10 hours, 38 minutes, and 5 seconds posted

What's fun for me about this is that all 3 of these were events: ITPE posted in December, Voiceteam was all of May, and August was posting for Summer Podfic Swap! I really do thrive on making things for people / in events.

My most posted category was M/M, which is unsurprising, but what DID surprise me is that Gen was very closely in second place. Around mid-year, I entered a really gen-fic focused mood, and I'm impressed with myself that I ended up with 120 Gen podfics (compared to 145 M/M ones).

My longest podfic was a multi-voice at around 10 hours:

Spring in Hell (and everything's blooming) by @blackkatmagic

But my second longest was a solo podfic for ITPE at around 8 hours:

My Heart's Red Muscle by @cacodaemonia

My shortest podfic was also for ITPE, at 50 seconds long

Qualities of Earth by Ferith12 (an ATLA podfic)

Aaaand despite all of this (or perhaps because of it), one of my 2024 goals is to write more, which inevitably means podding less. I also want to work on finishing some of the WIPs I'm carrying into 2024 with me, or at least making progress on some of the longest ones that I know won't be finished any time soon.

However, instead of making Goals that I could miss out on, I had my friends brainstorm a podfic bingo with me, so I can feel accomplished when I hit on some of them by the end of the year, but not feel like I failed if I don't get them all. Some are easy, some are harder, but all of them make me excited for the year to come!

Final thanks to anyone who listened to my pods this year, especially if you commented on them! I look forward to making more, and hearing what other people enjoy about them always makes me more motivated to keep it up!

(Note: this year in review inspired by the one @kbirbpods did, check faer's out if you liked this!)

twenty questions for fic writers

Tagged by @lokibuswrites beloved. Thank you dear <3

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

153... sure is a number.

2. what's your total ao3 word count?

326,020. This averages to about 2k per fic. Short stories are just so nice to write.

3. what fandoms do you write for?

The Witcher for the longest time, and now I'm dabbling into some Star Wars.

4. top five fics by kudos

I Will Lay Me Down - Empath!Jaskier

A Friend in the Wild - Mouse!Jaskier

Hug a Witcher Day - Crack treated seriously that I did not expect to become a full story.

Be Here - Coda for season 2? I can't remember everything by this point

and the wolf was nowhere to be found - Reverse truth serum

5. do you respond to comments?

Yes... mostly. Life gets away sometimes and then it's too long so I don't know if I should respond anymore.

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

stars fading but I linger on I think, Jaskier is dead, welp :3

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of them. I like fluff and happily ever afters a lot. I could say we'll rip up the map by the seams because star wars prequels is already angsty enough.

8. do you get hate on fics?

No.

9. do you write smut?

Yes.

10. craziest crossover:

Never written a crossover before.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

No...?

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, a few to Russian <3

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

No but it sounds fun!

14. all time favorite ship?

Oh I don't have them. I have a fave at each given point. For three years it was geraskier and now it's obikin. Sometimes I go back to old ships but not for long.

15. what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Dark Bird series. I have the whole thing planned out but I don't think it's happening. It's a cliffhanger too. I live in shame.

16. what are your writing strengths?

Word economy. Writing short stories but still with all the information and emotion you need.

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

Long stories. They drag on too much and lose all senses of purpose, and I end up not liking them often.

18. thoughts on dialogue in another language?

Don't, unless the meaning can be inferred from context alone.

19. first fandom you wrote in?

The Witcher beloved <3

20. favorite fic you've written?

I'd say A Master in Matchmaking for the witcher and more courageous to overcome for star wars. One was so cute I still reread it sometimes, the other was the beginning of my descent into a new fandom after a few years. They are meaningful in different ways but my fave nonetheless!

Tagging: @dapandapod @tideswept @grapenehifics @ragnarlothcat @palfriendpatine66 @witcher-and-his-bard @kuripon@petrifiedforests @crushcandles. No pressures of course!

[valkeakuulas]

5. A firm kiss for Echo/Rex if you'd like?

I noticed that you're supposed to send me 🎲 to get a random number and a ship but I'm not gonna tell you that I won't write this, don't worry. xD

Anyway, have some Rex getting swept of his feet by a confident Echo.

5. A Firm Kiss + Rex/Echo

Rex knew from day one that the shinies he and Cody had met on that damned Rishi base would go far.

It was also one of the reasons why he claimed them for the 501st before Cody could.

(No, Rex hadn't cheated during that arm wrestling match, it wasn't his fault that Generals Skywalker and Kenobi had just happened to wander past just when the two of them were out of upper armor. Rex was just a simple man, making his way through this damned war, who would seize any opportunity he got.

And if Cody had gotten distracted by Kenobi commenting about his bicep, Rex would've been an absolute di'kut for not using that to his advantage.)

Still, Rex could've never guessed just how far Echo and Fives would go. It had been a pleasure to watch the pair of gutsy soldiers grow into the resourceful ARC troopers currently were.

Especially, it had been a pleasure to watch Echo, quiet, devious, and ingenious Echo.

Rex sensed he was going to be in trouble when Echo kept painting and re-painting the hand on every new armor he got, proudly carrying Rex's mark for everyone to see.

He was definitely in trouble when Echo gained more confidence, the once somewhat stuttering shiny from Rishi Outpost all but prowling as he approached Rex where he stood at the edge of the camp.

"Echo," Rex greeted with a nod, trying not to swallow when Echo stared at him with dark, knowing eyes.

"Rex," he greeted, and the familiarity with which he used Rex's name sent an involuntary shiver down Rex's spine.

"Is there something I can do for you?" Rex asked, pleased just how calm he sounded.

"There is, actually," Echo replied, getting even closer and closer.

Rex found himself stepping back one step at a time and he thanked the Force that no one could witness how his ears burned bright red when Echo pressed him against the thick canvas. There were two layers of armor between them but Rex swore he could feel the heat radiating from Echo, giving fire to the sparks of arousal that lit under Rex's skin.

"Is this alright?" Echo asked, his voice a deep rumble. Gently, he brushed Rex's cheek with the back of his knuckles, watching every minute reaction. The grin that spread on his face when Rex couldn't stop himself from shivering at the touch was downright devious.

Deciding it was time to save whatever was left of his pride, Rex surged forward, grabbing Echo's face.

The kiss was far from perfect, messy, and with too much teeth but oh, the way Echo took control, pinning Rex against the tent, muscling in one thick thigh between Rex's was so good.

Both @cacodaemonia and @loverboy-havocboy tagged me in this--thank you!

I am, by nature, a serial monogamist when it comes to writing, but I was having... issues late in the year in 2023, so I do actually have a few WIPS at the moment. No titles, though...

Happy nano-ing!

18. Which of your characters is the smoothest?

Help me procrastinate my nano project!

Thanks for the question!

As for the smoothest... oof, I don't know. As in flirts very smoothly? I think my main character, Amalinde. She's a young wizard who has recently found out she's a lesbian and freed herself (a bit) from societal expectations to stay a virgin until marriage since she's a noble in exile and canonically sleeps around, so she has to have some game

Have a snipped of her talking to her sister Aswine/Asa who is telling her how her betrothed kissed her recently:

"Asa, such wanton behaviour," she said with mock outrage. With a glance over her shoulder to where her mother was still engrossed in a conversation with Arethas, she added: "Whatever would dear mother say?" "Ha!" Aswine replied. "Do not talk to me about wanton behaviour. Do not think I do not know you spend every other night in a different bed, Alma!" "Not every other night," she protested weakly, already knowing she had lost the battle and the war. "But enough to drive our mother into an early grave. Which reminds me, how fares Radila? Or is it Rinsuind who I'm thinking of, I do keep mixing up all those names." Amalinde glowered at her: "This is uncalled for."
