from this prompt list: [source]

otp: jedi knight (f!oc) x Tau Idair.

A/N: hearing impaired jedi knight protag, canon divergence, two Jedi in a secret romantic relationship, wlw pairing.

Tagging those also interested: @gmkelz11 @sithy-tricks @lordviridis And @naaklasolus who also requested for this prompt and pairing.

It had been some time after the celebrations on the crushing defeat of Sith Emperor Tenebrae and driven Sith forces out of Corellia. It was getting late, Jazz went to search for Tau within the starship--it wasn't hard to find her, she knew Tau spent her free time tinkering weapons.

“Tau?” she called for the newly appointed Jedi Master's attention.

Tau glanced from the workstation to across the room, greeted by the sight of Jazz standing by the doorway. The RE unit chirped happily before hopping away to power down for the night, granting the two Jedi some space to themselves.

"Hey,"--Tau pulled the work goggles off and set the tools down to sign for Jazz--"You're back. How's your walk?"

Earlier, Jazz had taken a short walk through the garden for some fresh air and clear her head. There was a lot on her mind--discovering her parentage and her amnesia condition for starters, followed by ending the Sith Emperor's subordinates. And her ongoing feelings for Tau that she choose to go against the Jedi Code.

But neither Jazz nor Tau cared about the Jedi Code when their feelings surfaced.

"It was nice to get out for some air." Jazz replied with a warm smile.

"You had a lot on. I guess this 'amnesia' had thrown you off a bit?"

"You could say that."

Jazz fought hard to hold back a yawn that threatened to escape from her mouth. It wasn't that she was bored of the conversation, it was getting late as her tiredness started to creep in, she gazed upon her lover with half-lidded eyes.

Tau was quick to notice this and signed, "Do you need anything? You look like you're in desperate need of some shut eye."

Jazz had showered and sipped into a clean set of clothes--ready to tune in for an early night. She waved her hand dismissing the question.

“Where’s everyone?” she asked after the unusual absences of the twi’leks and Jawas.

The ship was quiet--for the past three years, she had gotten used to the noisy, lively atmosphere travelling with the crew members, and grown accustomed to their company adjusting to the extrovert lifestyles. It wasn’t unnerving to her in a way she found it oddly strange to reflect on the older days spent on the serene and peaceful Tython where she used to enjoy a stroll on the Temple grounds and meditating by the waterfall with Tau. 

Those days are long gone now she’s in the company of her friends, and her lover, to aid the Republic in desperate times. 

“They’ve gone out.” Tau informed her, rubbing the back of her neck, “I uh... kind of convinced them to take a couple of hours to wind down, you know, for some R&R.”

“Oh, I see.” Jazz sounded surprised, she would had thought they wouldn’t leave without her and Tau unless for a reason, “I trust this wouldn’t be caused by you pulling your Jedi Master card to get me alone?”

Tau made a snort out of jest at the latter, “That sounded too tempting without giving anything away, but no. I just thought they deserved some break, too.”

“...If you want, we can always go and join them?” Tau continued, suggesting the option while taking both the gloves and goggles off.

“I...”--her voice trailed off thinking for the moment--”Actually, I’m too tired right now.” Jazz admitted, the option to join the others on a fun night out was a nice offer but the introvert in her preferred to stay in unless for emergencies.

“That’s okay.” Tau reassured her with a smile, “I’m also tired, too. Saving the Galaxy can be exhausting at times.”

Jazz nodded in agreement, “You’re right about that. We barely had much time to ourselves.”

Speaking of tiredness...

Jazz, then, covered her mouth and let out a big yawn as she speak clearly, “Well, I’m going for an early night.”

“You and me both.” Tau hummed quietly, “Well, I’m not going anywhere. You know where to find me if you need anything.”

Jazz had almost said goodnight and leave for her quarters. She tilted her head, recalling on their past conversation they had a while ago--the time where neither of them couldn’t sleep while enroute to Belsavis and another where she caught Tau awake in the middle of the night while she was getting a drink on Voss.

Though, the conversation on Voss had stuck with Jazz for some time that made her feelings more open. 

Tau was about to resume to work on the weapon modifications, she ceased mid-way as she saw the Sith Hybrid stepped away from the doorway at the corner of her eyes and turned to view of Jazz’s extended hands.

Tau raised a brow upon this, “Jazz?”

“Will you stay with me?”

The first time had Tau indicated the offer to stay the night, now it was Jazz’s turn to ask with little more encouragement. They were no strangers to sleeping in the same beds during restless nights under circumstances, but now they’re together in a relationship--the two would need to check on the other’s boundaries and space.

“I thought I’d offered to share my bed with you.” Jazz explained her invitation, “I believe the exact words were ‘I don’t have any nightmares when you’re here’. I still remember it back on Voss.”

Tau breathed hard for a moment knowing that Jazz was aware of her sleep difficulties--the memory of seeing Jazz tortured and beaten by the hands of Darth Lachris and Lord Ziliss had scarred her into experiencing nightmares with worse scenarios outcomes--she shrugged the images out of her head with a shudder. She tried to forget about that particular memory.

Tau felt a hand cupped her face tenderly followed by a kiss to her forehead, she gazed her eyes upwards to stare into Jazz’s red eyes. Their Force Bond swayed with emotions and love, understanding each other’s fears and worry.

“You took care of me before,” Jazz said in a gentle tone, “Let me take care of you in return, please.”

Tau accepted the offer by taking the hybrid’s hand with her own, and took the other with a soft kiss into the palm of her hand.

“In that case, I’d love nothing more than to spend the night with you.”

Jazz’s face softened, she gently pulled Tau up from the seat and guided her to the quarters. The next, the two cuddled on the bed with Jazz preferred to lay on top before they drifted off to sleep together.

Is it too much to ask you all those questions?

*Rubs hands together*

1. Your first OC ever?

I probably had OCs as a kid. Probably a Sailor Moon one or a Harry Potter OC (Most likely had a Harry Potter OC. The only one I can name for certain though was a witch named Caroline with an affinity for fire magic.

2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?

Right now? Claudia Hawke. I love talking about her and drawing her and writing her. Plus, she has a super cute boyfriend who I also love talking about and drawing.

3. Have you ever adopted a character or gotten a character from someone else?

Lol. Yeah. I have a few of @mikagesshoku‘s OCs now. The first was an ancient vampire named Mark (not his real name, but what he goes by in modern times). She liked how I wrote him and characterized him, so he became my son. Her Hawke, Quentin, is also now my Hawke (and Claudia’s big brother). She also prefers how I write her Mahariel.

4. A character you rarely talk about?

Of my DA OCs? Aeducan and Brosca. Nothing against dwarves, I just haven’t fleshed them out very well.

5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?

Claudia Hawke. Her being popular and people wanting me to write/draw her would come with the ulterior motive of getting to write/draw Anders.

6. Two OCs of yours that look alike despite not being related?

Claudia Hawke and Elira Bassat. Elira’s a bit taller and her hair is straight, but they’re both sassy, dual-wielding red heads. My old RP buddy actually confused one of my first drawings of Claudia for Elira (Claudia’s since had some cosmetic changes to make them look more different).

7. Are your OCs part of any story or stories?

Yes! I write for Claudia a lot.

You can find her here, here, and here. (Note: All of these contain graphic depictions of sex, so read at your own risk)

8. Do you RP as any of your OCs? If you do, introduce one of your RP OCs here!

Elira Bassat was my OC that I RPed the longest as, but don’t anymore. She’s a sassy, dual-wielding red head, she’s nb, but generally prefers she/her or them/they pronouns (occasionally he/him). She’s also a big fan of vigilante justice.

9. Would you ever be willing to give any of your OCs to someone else?

Hypothetically, yes. I couldn’t name which one, but if their new parent was going to treat them well, I would.

10. Introduce an OC with a complicated design?

I generally try to keep them toned down or believable in appearance. But, there’s Rhyann Tabris, my tiny elf baby with snow-white hair (I say the quickening still effects elves and it made her hair go white as a child). She’s got a billion freckles and carries around a big sword.

11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a "sunshine"?

So, an optimist? I don’t know if I have any of those with my DA OCs. Probably Solona Amell. She’s the most likely to keep her chin up and try to cheer up the others.

12. Name an OC that isn't yours but who you like a lot

I absolutely love @kirkwallgirl‘s Jay Hawke and @misterwiggums‘s Mads Hawke. They’re both super cute and love the mage!

13. Do you have any troublemaker OCs?

Claudia Hawke. She’s best friends with Isabela. They get into lots of trouble.

14. Introduce an OC with a tragic backstory

I think of my DA OCs, I think Rhyann Tabris has a very tragic backstory. I relate to it on a personal level, which was why I chose her (they’ve all got super sad backstories, hers just resonates with me).

15. Do you like to talk about your OCs with other people?

YES! Oh my God, if you guys want to ask me about my OCs, please do! I’d love to hear about all of yours, too!

16. Which one of your OCs would be the best at biology (school subject)?

Solona Amell. She’s a healer.

17. Any OC OTPs?

With other OCs? I don’t know. Neria Surana and Solona Amell (as part of a polymance with Jowan, but he’s not my OC). With non OC characters, Claudia Hawke x Anders and Rhyann Tabris x Alistair Theirin.

18. Any OC crackships?

I don’t have any with just OCs. With OC x canon, I’m planning on writing a Claudia Hawke/Karl Thekla/Anders bi polymance in the future. Not really a crack ship (though I guess it is if you HC Karl as being gay; I’m in the he’s bi/pan camp), but I never thought I’d be pairing Claudia up with Karl before the idea struck me.

19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)

Rhyann Tabris means a lot to me because she was my first OC in a Dragon Age game, my first playthrough, and her origin really resonated with me.

20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)?

Originally, Elira Bassat was a singer and she was supposed to sound a bit like Sara Taylor/Chibi from The Birthday Massacre, but I scrapped that.

Claudia Hawke enjoys singing, but she isn’t particularly good. I imagine she sings a little bit of everything, though I like the idea of her dramatically singing along to Helena by My Chemical Romance.

21. Your most artistic OC

Probably Elira Bassat. She isn’t an artist, but she’s pretty damn good at costume makeup.

22. Is there any OC of yours people tend to mischaracterize? If yes, how?

I don’t think anyone mischaracterizes them.

23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?

Sophie Cousland. I was originally going to romance Alistair with her, but I was too attached to Rhyann x Alistair, so Sophie became Aro/Ace.

24. If you could meet one OC of yours, who would it be and why?

Claudia Hawke, because she’d bring Anders with her.

25. The OC that resembles you the most (same hobby, height, shared like/dislike for something etc?)

Elira Bassat shared my build, height, and hair color at the time (I’m no longer a red head). But, I’ve given Rhyann Tabris a lot of my facial features.

26. Have you ever had to change your OC's design or something else about them against your will?

I’ve renamed OCs in the past. Can’t think of any off the top of my head, though.

27. Any OCs that were inspired by a certain song?

Like, did I base them off a song? I don’t think I have any OCs like that.

28. Your most dangerous OC?

Claudia Hawke or Rhyann Tabris.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they're going?

Probably Solona Amell. She wouldn’t want to trouble anyone with her curiosity. Claudia would go too, but half of Kirkwall would know she was going.

30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection?

Rhyann Tabris. In a modern AU, she probably saves every stuffed animal Alistair has ever gave her or won her at a carnival and loves them all.

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)

Solona Amell’s would be a lot of quotes from book, pictures of pretty cups of tea/coffee, plants, and the occasional cute animal. Mostly aesthetic.

32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why?

In a survival/horror, Rhyann Tabris because she fits the personality archetype they use for those sorts of games (timid female protagonist).

33. Your shyest OC?

Rhyann Tabris. She’s extremely shy, and tends to avoid most human men until they earn her trust.

34. Do you have any twin characters?

Sophie Cousland has a twin brother named Jarak. He’s a bit flirty, but is overall a good person.

35. Any sibling characters?

Claudia Hawke has an older brother named Quentin. He’s a mage and she’s extremely protective over him.

36. Do you have OC pairs where the other part belongs to someone else (siblings, lovers, friends etc)?

Rhyann Tabris is the cousin of @mikagesshoku‘s Lyna Mahariel and Misali Mahariel. Claudia Hawke is also friends with Lyna.

37. Introduce an OC who is not quite human

All of my elves/dwarves/qunari? I’m in the mood to mention Thaliah Lavellan, though, given she’s a Dalish elf. She also hooks up with a Qunari.

38. Which one of your OCs would be the best dancer?

I say Claudia Hawke is a former ballet dancer in a modern AU. Though, I imagine Sophie and Jarak are pretty light on their feet, given they’re nobles.

39. Introduce any character you want

I’m world building for an original story in some of my free time, and the main character is named Lilika, though she goes by Lily for most of the story. She’s a seer raised by a wlw couple since she was around 10 years old and she’s blind in her right eye.

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!

Whenever anyone leaves nice comments/tags on artwork I do of them! I’ve had a couple people comment that Claudia and Rhyann are very pretty, and it makes me so happy (especially with Rhyann because I gave her some of my features that I consider ugly).

41. Has anyone drawn fanart of your OCs? If yes, maybe show a picture or two here (remember sources & permissions!)

I sadly don’t have any pictures on my current phone of it, but my nephew drew Claudia Hawke and one of his characters from the comic books he likes to draw hanging out. It was really cute.

42. Which one of your OCs would be the most interested in Greek gods?

I’m really tempted to say all of them and leaving it at that, but I’d bet money that Neria Surana went through a very intense Greek mythology period of her life.

43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It's time to confess

YES. I like tall girls with red hair and who are also the more dominant partner in a relationship. I’ve been getting better with it. But I do have at least five red heads, most of which are tall, and most of which are the more dominant partner in a relationship.

44. Something you like about your OCs in general

I love them all and how they all have various facets of me. I try to make them all a little bit like me.

45. A character you no longer use?

I used to RP as Nikolai (a vampire) quite regularly, but I haven’t in years.

46. Has anyone ever told you that you treat your OCs badly?

Yes. My old RP buddy used to tell me all the time that I was being mean to our OCs, but in a you’re being mean, but it makes the story so good way.

47. Has anyone ever (friendly) claimed any of your OCs as their child?

The same RP buddy from number 46 did. He’d call our OCs our “children”, so his were my children too.

48. OC who is a perfect cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure

Solona Amell. She’s a precious child who deserves love.

49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes

Claudia Hawke, Quentin Hawke, Neria Surana, Jarak Cousland, Elira Bassat. Most of them.

50. Give me the good ol' OC talk here. Talk about anything you want

Claudia Hawke and Sophie Cousland are named after characters from The Chipmunk Adventure. Claudia was the name of the villain and Sophie was the name of her dog. Quentin is named after a character from a book and his appearance is based somewhat off the same character.
