He tightens his hold around the inert Jedi in his arms, and uses the Force to leap from the metal-strewn crater and onto solid ground. Several startled soldiers turn on him, their weapons lifting, until Kira hastily waves them off. If they harbour any hesitations about obeying her direction, the Sith’s burning glare gives them plenty of incentive to fall back. As though they truly could have stood in his way. Without hesitation Scourge pushes past them, heading as swiftly as he dares for the monorail and the emergency landing platform that waits outside. He is oddly, intensely aware of his fingers digging into Caspian’s jolting body, of the Jedi’s armour scraping against his own. The way the weight of the other’s head has rolled against him, bloodied brow resting upon the Sith’s aching shoulder; and now Scourge feels a different sort of pain spasm through his tightening chest. “I have you, Jedi,” he breathes raggedly. It makes no sense, Caspian clearly cannot hear him - and yet he feels the need to say it. To reassure him. I have you. You are safe. - Fall On Me, With All Your Light

I love commissioning artists to draw scenes from my stories. This one was truly a dream commission of mine, and I finally had the chance to see it come to life under the incredible patience and skill of hifarry on dA. The colours, the atmosphere, the details - this is everything I wanted from this piece, and I am beyond ecstatic!

I am going to be both delighted by and laughing at this for such a long time, thank you for bringing my idea to life so brilliantly!

I agree with Cas... Scourge should wear bigger robes... Comic commission for (and scripted by) @kemendin! Thank you for commissioning me- so happy to have gotten the opportunity to work on something Cas & Scourge related :D

[kemendin]

I don’t think I ever posted the first one, so now I’ll post ‘em together! Two gorgeous portraits of my SWTOR mains, Caspian (Jedi Knight) and Khel (Sith Warrior), done by the wonderful @maedictus (more active on her instagram I believe)

[kemendin]

Some contemplative Cas and Scourge from the archives, fully intended to edit these when I took them and... didn't, whoops, so remedying that now.

'Tis the season to snowball your Sith boyfriend!

“You are my kata’saarai, Caspian. My heart's truth."

Skullie once again making me flail and scream with delight over a comm, thank you so so much for this tender piece!

Illustrated portrait commission for @kemendin of Cas and Scourge having morning cuddles (always the best when I get to draw fluff)

[kemendin]

An hour later and Scourge is still wondering why he's physically digging this Jedi out of the ruins of the Dark Temple's sanctum

[kemendin]

This will never not be funny

[kemendin]

Finding cool old screenshots as I do a clear-out, so an edit happened

[kemendin]

Lookit me writing more wurbs (hello boys I have missed you)

“Yet more agonising than any of that, the role you are forced to play.” Scourge’s bright eyes bored into him, and Cas could not look away. “The galaxy’s heroic puppet, dangling upon the strings of Jedi and Sith alike. You could cut yourself free, but instead you have allowed yourself to remain entangled, because you now understand that no one else has the strength, the will, to do what must be done. And you despise it.” Cas stared up at him. He’d spent these last few months being subjected to Scourge's scathing analyses of his actions, the ruthless dissection of each decision that the Sith did not agree with (which was at least half of them, at last count, and likely more). Yet he’d never heard his companion speak this way before - as though Scourge could actually see the daily struggle inside his head, could truly understand the burden chained upon him. Cas' lips trembled - not with fear, but with fury. Because as much as he might wish to deny it, Scourge was right. Stars, he was angry. Angry with the Jedi for making him their hero; angry with the galaxy for accepting it; angry with Scourge for managing to somehow talk him into this alliance without needing to resort to either coercion or corruption; and most of all angry with the almighty fucking Emperor who’d inflicted this fate on both of them. Who’d taken so much from them, and would keep on taking and taking until there was nothing left in all the galaxy but him - an eternal power spread across an endless void.

Alliance Commander's Quarters - Caspian Serapis

This is meant to be on Odessen, not Coruscant - high up in the Alliance base, with plenty of windows and a stunning view. Some notes below cut because I put a lot of thought and meaning into the decor:

Hallway/entrance. An actual door, unlike the room in the Odessen base xD Theron and Lana hanging out because they're Cas' right and left hands when it comes to running the Alliance, and good friends besides.

Main room, featuring Alliance and Task Force Nova banners, both important causes in Cas' life. There's also a central table for small meetings or meals with his inner circle, Jedi-themed because while Cas is no longer strictly part of the Order, part of him is always going to be a Jedi.

Cas' work table, where he can futz around with computer tech or Rakata artefacts. Corellian rugs, as a nod to Cas' home planet. Also a model of his ship, the Seeker.

Kira and T7, Cas' crew and family, and a casual little lounge area for relaxing chats over drinks. Also a computer workstation connected to the Odessen base systems and the holonet. Boy's an accomplished slicer, gotta keep those skills sharp.

Rakata corner with statue, console, and model of Belsavis, because Cas is a little too obsessed with all things Rakata. Also a secure holo-library for his research.

Bedroom entrance, featuring a little breakfast table with a view, where Cas and Scourge can have a meal in solitude.

Bedroom panorama, a lot to unpack in this one. Naturally, as Cas' life partner, Scourge is there. A Rakata plaque - all the Rakata, I swear - and a painting of the Meridian Complex, where Scourge and Cas reunited after so long apart. A lightsaber display whose meaning I haven't settled on yet xD And a model of Alderaan, where Cas took Scourge on a sensory pilgrimage after they got together, a very special place for both of them.

And another bedroom view. Prominent Corellian banners, as Cas is fiercely proud of his homeworld and heritage. Some more Jedi connections in the archive and datacron. The bed's an inside joke - Cas asked Scourge to pick out the colour of the sheets, now that Scourge can appreciate colour again, and Scourge went with - black. Of course he did. (That's ALL the colours though, that counts, right?)
