Last Line Meme

Thanks for the tag @rainofaugustsith

I’d like to tag @swtorpadawan , @pineaberry @captainderyn and @elveny

This is from chapter 90 of Legend of Lightning (I’m further ahead in the writing at the moment; not releasing more than two chapters a day)

Kairegane pulled her (Jasme Shan) closer. “I… I don’t know what’s in store for us. But by thunder, I want to enjoy every moment we get.”

“Today’s a gift. A present.”

“Exactly.”

💋 for each of your Sith Warriors and their S.O.'s !

Mavasha

Mavasha and Malavai's first kiss (if we're counting a kiss on the cheek) was after they reunited as adults on balmorra. He had offered his services as part of her crew and after their first mission together we he helped patch up a bad wound she had gotten. As a thank you she gave him a small kiss on the cheek.

If we're counting their first romantic kiss on the lips then it was after Malavai finally confessed. Mavasha had been courting him for a while before he finally set aside professionalism and allowed himself to love her. He initiated the act by asking to kiss her, which she responded to by pulling on his collar and kissing him breathless.

Noiren

I actually have a little drabble I wrote for his and Kenaas's first kiss here. He finally realized his feelings for the jedi and finally opened up to him fully like Kenaas always hoped he would. He told him about his childhood, his missing siblings, everything that he had been burdened with since his youth. Then he confessed his feelings and they shared their first kiss.

Scathe

Scathe is in a poly relationship with Mavasha's adopted daughter, Cathilia, and Andronikos. Her first kiss with Cathilia was out of excitement. She had been nervous about her feelings for the other sith since she was her master's daughter, so had kept her feelings under wraps. During one of their missions together they wound up executing a difficult plan and made a near impossible mission successful. Scathe, in all her excitement and exhaustion, cheered with her partner over their success and wound up kissing her.

Her fist kiss with Andronikos was after her and Cathilia had agreed to bring him into their relationship if he wanted to join them. He was pretty quick to agree to the offer since they had been traveling together for a while and he really cared for them. The three of them went out to a cantina and the night ended with the girls giving him kisses.

Hisk'ash

It took a while for him to help Vette realize she was deserving of his affections, but he was patient and supportive of her. Hisk was smitten and wanted nothing more than to shower her in affection. After a while of friendship the two went out on a mission where Vette was put in danger by the enemy. Hisk made sure she got out of it with nothing more than a few bruises while allowing himself to get hurt instead. After the attack was over and they had a moment to breathe Vette leapt into his arms and kissed him, thankful for his rescue but also incredibly happy he made it out safe.

Wanweird for the OC of your choice/

Wanweird - An unhappy fate.

This was...very hard to make a decision about. I have tragic aus for Vits, Montym, and Bel, but they’re all very long, so I chose to go with Dapatica’s canon fate. While not the most emotional perhaps, she dies as a sacrifice for a goal she privately doesn’t believe in, with her wives at her side, and I think that’s about as unhappy as it gets. Most of it is under the cut, as it got...a bit long. Thank you for letting me explore it! Perhaps I’ll post the unhappy aus for the others some day

There was little else to do but take up arms, and take as many of the blasted Skytroopers and Knights out with them as possible. Dapatica had made sure they hadn’t left the base with much, a limited about of supplies, and whatever weapons they could carry. Anything useful had already been dismantled, and while Cimesetli had protested the entire time they’d been loading his ship with anything that could be taken back to Dromund Kaas, he’d gone before the fleet had shown up.

They were going to lose ground, that was inevitable. The point was a stand, and to direct resources away from bigger fronts. They had made enough of a stink to draw a significant portion of the Eternal Empire’s forces away from other fronts. Hopefully, razing their former base of operations would add to the delay once they finally fell.

Sith weren’t supposed to think that way. Victory or death. But victory had long since passed as an option. Death was left. Dapatica had accepted that.

She had wanted to do this alone, but Leo had been right from the start, and alone she couldn’t hold out nearly as long. Cimesetli had taken most of her troops, against orders, but he was only a bounty hunter, outside military discipline, and her troops had been given orders by their Sith and Acina would have no choice to accept the decision she’d made. She had needed him gone long before the fleet showed up. Only one squad had stayed, a barricade created at her back.

Leo and Calica had stayed, no matter how much she’d wanted them to go. They wouldn’t hear leaving her, not if this was to be her last stand. Perhaps it was for the best, at least she could know their loyalty withstood all else, and it would not waver after she was gone. She had been forced to send Etelvina with Cimesetli because of it, nearly needing the Mandalorian to drag her Apprentice back kicking and screaming. He would have done it too, they had always had a good working relationship, and it was a shame to know most of her fellows wouldn’t compensate him well enough to get the best out of him. Men like him were needed in this war, alien or not. But she had worked to hard to leave her legacy in the hands of anyone else, if her wives were to die with her.

It should have gone to Viticalia. She was- had been- nearly a decade younger than Dapatica. Volatile Sith politics aside, Viticalia was supposed to outlive her. She had done what their parents couldn’t do with their family name, and one day, she was supposed to die, and Viticalia would be the one to have apprentices and children and continue the legacy. She had worked hard to get their family name to where Viticalia only had to worry about maintaining it.

And then Viticalia had gone and become the Emporer’s Wrath, above and beyond what Dapatica had ever asked of her sister, and things could have been perfect. The family name could be squandered for generations before the power and titles they’d amassed together were finally lost. But Viticalia would never have allowed her children to be so frivolous with their efforts.

If Etelvina was smart, and she was, cut-throat and cunning, which was why Dapatica had chosen her, she would keep Cimesetli on retainer, and use her Master’s name to her advantage to keep hold of what was now hers, with no relations to fight for what Dapatica was leaving behind.

It all should have gone to Viticalia. Etelvina should have become her Apprentice, on Dapatica’s death. Her sister wasn’t meant to be gone, the opening shot of a war, when she hadn’t known who she was firing at, or even that she was. She had been better than that. Better than a useless sacrifice. Marr be damned, Viticalia should have been one of the ones to come home, whether he did or not. But instead, she’d done her duty. Or so her Major Quinn had said. 

Dapatica had almost taken his head off there and then for saying such. Duty meant nothing anymore. He’d lived because he had been in Viticalia’s good graces, and her crew and her ship were all Dapatica had left of her. 

If the Force had a will, then duty to it or anything else was only a path of pain. The will of the Force was a crock of bantha shit. If the Force had a will, it should have kept those who could change the galaxy alive. But instead, it had let Viticalia die for duty. It should have only been a tool for good reason, it seemed.

Leo had laid up in a sniper nest, far enough back that she could run for the base, even if her bad leg gave her trouble. It wouldn’t be an escape, it was only so she could activate the defences and make it seem like the base needed to be occupied, forcing the Eternal Empire to follow her. She and Calica both had tried to show her their love as much as possible before they left. It would be the last time. They’d left their coms open.

Calica’s back was to her chest, Dapatica’s arms around her as they waited. It wouldn’t take long now, only a few minutes more before the Skytroopers set down. Calica’s rotary cannon was waiting, and her own lightsabers were a comfortable weight on her hips. She’d taken a page out of Viticalia’s book, loading up with grenades and a blaster of her own. The Force and her lightsabers wouldn’t be enough. Not to take as many of them out as she could. And she intended to take as many of them with her as possible, recompense for her own death, for Leocadia’s, and Calica’s, and Viticalia’s.

Acina would bow to Zakuul eventually. Either she would die fighting them, or live to see Viticalia’s sacrifice mean nothing.

According the Lady Beniko, this distraction would give her the opening to get onto an Eternal Empire station and get the data she would need to plan an assault on Zakuul itself. She had asked Dapatica for her help personally, hoping the information she was getting would allow her to free Viticalia.

Captured, she had said. She was convinced of it. Convinced Viticalia hadn’t been killed. That Viticalia had survived both the ship and killing Zakuul’s Emporer. She was certain they had left Viticalia alive.

She should have been able to feel her sister across galaxies if that was what it took. She had felt no death blow, and Viticalia’s apprentice Jaesa hadn’t felt it either. But she was simply no longer there. It wouldn’t have been surprising if Viticalia had had the power to hide her own death blows from them.

There was nothing left to say between them, and so the comm was silent for now. She’d told her wives of Lana’s opening, but not of her doubts. No, it was better they go to their deaths together at peace, rather having there been any doubt in their minds. They still would have joined her, they were better than that, but it wouldn’t have been fair to them.

Viticalia was gone. It would be pleasant to join her. Pleasant to have her wives at her side, and not have to watch everything they had worked so hard for fall. They would not have to watch their Empire crumble and debase itself.

Sacrifice. It had never been a Sith ideal. Perhaps in a time of war, it was, only phrased differently. A victory of sorts. At least it was not a surrender.

Leo’s voice broke the reverie, and Dapatica dropped a kiss in Calica’s hair before the other woman turned, kissing her once, and lifting her cannon. “Contact. Two clicks. Get ready.”

“Leo-”

“I know, I’ll see you both on the other side. I love you both.”

“Love you too.” Calica echoed it softly, and Dapatica drew herself to her full height, lips pursed, and watching the horizon line. They’d chosen the battlefield, taking the higher ground, and already she could see the approach, troops landing in quick succession. 

“I adore you both, and if this is where we meet our ends together, I am glad to have known you both for the time we had. May we meet again on the other side.” She shook herself once, centred, prepared, and ready to rage against the face of death for as long as she could. She let her voice carry. “Men! It’s been an honour. Let’s make them hurt.”

fic writer meme

Tagged by @swtorpadawan​ -- thanks for the tag!

Tagging: Open tag! Tag yourself in if you want! ♥︎

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

93 (it would probably be closer to 200 if I didn’t insist on combining my prompt responses into anthologies, but that requires like, coming up with titles and descriptions for each. And I got no time for that)

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

691,415

Oh, my. For some reason I thought it’d be lower.

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Across the Stars (SWTOR), Wit's End (SGA), By Guidance of the Stars (SWTOR), See No Evil (SGA), Unsent Correspondence (SWTOR)

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! AO3 makes it easy, so I try to answer there as much as I can, although sometimes it takes me a few days to form proper words because for some reason I can’t brain when it comes to comments.

FFnet became a flaming garbage fire that was actively hostile to authors, and made it really hard to respond or reply so I kind of gave up over there (and the I’m not even sure if I’m getting notifications anymore if people are even leaving reviews? Is the site still up? I don’t know, I haven’t checked in forever.)

I’m really bad at doing it here on Tumblr, because like? I’m not really sure what the proper etiquette is? Do people feel weird if you @ them and respond to their tags? Is that the done thing? Or is it like “thank you for your kind words internet stranger I hold them close to my busom and cherish them always but never speak those words aloud”? Having a bit of social anxiety I kind of defaulted to the latter, because I didn’t want to be weird if replying wasn’t the done thing here. (But yes I do see and love all of your tags!)

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Oh goodness... I’m not going to count my earliest works, because you know, teenage angst and all. Of what has been actively written (and not just in my head waiting to be written), I would say Thicker than Water (SGA), because while in my head the downer ending was eventually resolved -- I never actually resolved it because writer brain didn’t cooperate in writing the follow-up.

There’s a few SWTOR fics I’ve written where the ending is a bit more tragic or angsty, but in my head those aren’t as angsty because there’s other stories around different points in the timeline that show that what’s an angsty ending in a one-shot is eventually resolved later into a happier resolution.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

I would guess maybe Caught (SWTOR)? I generally try to end most stories on an upbeat ending, unless I’m just going for an emotional one-two punch (sorrynotsorry ♥︎). However I think maybe that was one of the ones that seemed to generate the most squee from readers.

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

In generally no. I’m trying to think if I’ve got any, and nothing is coming to mind.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

This is... a complicated question. And I’m now going to put this under a cut so as to allow people to scroll on by if they so wish.

I wish I could just easily answer no, because no one really wants that, right? And I considered remaining silent and just answering briefly, but fuck it.

The short answer is: Maybe?

The longer answer: Due to a little trail of clues that I can’t tell if were intentional or not, unfortunately last year I stumbled across a series of vague posts complaining about very specific story elements in a fic I wrote, including a photoshopped meme as a “joke” that basically said people who write those elements shouldn’t be allowed to write SWTOR Blorbo because they don’t deserve him in their fics. Classy.

Because of the way the posts were written, there’s no way to know definitively that the poster was talking about me -- except that shortly before those posts were written, the poster left kudos on that fic and another that seemed to suspiciously line up with another post of them complimenting-complaining about. And then, for some bizarre reason, they went rifling through my blog, dug up a week old post to reply to it and then try and tell me that I was wrong about something I was idly musing on in the tags.

As you can imagine, I was extremely baffled by this WTFery, went to their blog, and got a face full of what appeared to be vague blogging about how I didn’t understand the character of the fic they left kudos on and shouldn’t be allowed to write him? Which made me second guess if it was about me. But also, the specific element that generated the shitty photoshop meme? WAS IN THE FIC THEY LEFT KUDOS ON. YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MY CONFUSION. And also the feeling like I just got punched in the face.

(Also I should mention this is not the first time this person has made rants about specific fic elements that felt like they were specifically targeting one fic that hit a little too close to home)

But honestly, even if that wasn’t about me (as you can see above on why I’m unsure) -- fuck that person. They were clearly being an asshole and badmouthing someone in fandom. I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but maybe you shouldn’t photoshop memes mocking other people. And if you want to complain about a fic, have the guts to leave a bad review. I have plenty of fics I’ve read that I didn’t care for, for one reason or another. And you know what I’ve done?

Nothing. Because at the end of the day, I didn’t want to be an asshole just because I personally disagreed with an element of someone’s writing. An act that, unless you’re kind of a weirdo who wants to chase fandom clout (why tho????), is almost exclusively an act made out of love for the source material, or for the love of writing/creativity/what-have-you.

Do not worry, that person is blocked on their five million accounts they keep rotating through, and will continue to have them blocked until they grow up and learn how to behave in a community.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Um... what kind is there? Other than the smutty kind? But yes, I do occasionally have the nsfw entry now and then.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

For some bizarre reason, the one Four Brothers fic I wrote years upon years ago is a popular one for teenagers to steal and swap the characters out. Off the top of my head, it was turned into a Supernatural fic once, and for some reason One Direction another time??? It’s possible there was more but those two are the ones that stick out in my head. And the funny thing is, that particular fic is super tropey, so they probably would have gotten away with it if they’d just filed off the really unique framing device used to open each of the first few chapters.

And unfortunately it seemed like almost the entirety of my SWTOR fic collection was thrown into a blender and then various sentences and paragraphs were fed through Google Translate and then back again(?), then piecemealed into various fics by an offender who apparently wanted to replace my Knight with theirs. (They even stole poor Grey’s coffee order.) This went on for about six months by the time I discovered it, mostly because the plagiarist for some reason started @’ing me in WIP memes, with my actual sentences staring back at me.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I have! Several of my SGA fics were translated into French, and I think Russian over the years. Someone requested to translate one of my SWTOR fics a while back, but I’m not sure if anything ever came of that one.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have! ♥︎ The only one up on AO3 is a collaboration between me and the always lovely @jadesfire about the SGA team playing a bunch of board games. It was a blast to work on, and I may have gotten a little carried away with the visuals. 😅

13. What’s your all time favourite ship?

I don’t think anyone will be surprised if I say it’s Theron Shan x Jedi Knight, based on the pure volume that I’ve written. They live rent free in my head still, so I guess that says something.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish, but don’t think you ever will?

Oh goodness, I think the only one that has active words on I’ve already shared, which is this piece that got completely Joss’d by Fractured Alliances. There are few stories rattling around in my head that I still hope to write, so I haven’t given up on them yet (like the Theron Childhood AUs that maybe will get more pointed Photoshopped memes).

15. What are your writing strengths?

I feel like this is difficult to answer objectively -- but maybe dialogue? I have a lot of fun writing it, and routinely have to reign myself back in, and my “cut bits” documents are sometimes half witty dialogue exchanges that I cut because they were rapidly derailing a scene.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Description. Hands down. It’s the absolute biggest struggle for me, to remember to include it to begin with, and then to make it flow and feel like it’s not something that I just inserted after the fact (spoiler: it usually is.)

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I usually try to avoid it as much as possible, because I am fluent in exactly one language, English, and some days I question even that. I usually try and write around or allude to whatever is being spoken, and indicate that it’s written in another language. Things like fictional languages I might pepper in some words or phrases here or there, but then usually also put the translation in too.

Real world languages I am more often than not likely to get it wrong, and would rather not make an ass of myself so avoid it. If I had to include a snatch here or there? I’d probably enlist a native speaker to help correct it after the fact.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

The first fandom I’ll admit to writing and publishing for is Rawhide. Although I think there’s a lost ficlet somewhere that I wrote for the Jedi Apprentice series that bit it when Yahoo Groups shut down. (Don’t worry, it’s no big loss. It really wasn’t that good, long, nor did it make a lot of sense.)

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet, but want to?

I don’t really have any that come to mind. Generally when I want to write something, I write it 😅

20. What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

Oh goodness, this changes by the day/hour. I think my consistent answer has more or less been “Unsent Correspondence”, because I angsted over that one, and turned what would have originally been like, this massive 200-300k fic idea into a neat 10,000 word epistolary character exploration. I think at least half of my affection for that fic is the fact that I saved myself a ton of work and didn’t generate an unfinished massive WIP.

Fandom Meme - A, R, T

A -  Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)

Ooo this is a fun one. You brought up the idea of Viticalia/Lana and I’m now thoroughly obsessed with Vits/Lana/Thomsyn bc they’d be so good. Bel/Theron which I think is...probably obvious, I give Bel a lot of screentime, although I have the idea of Bel/Theron/Balkar in my head AND THAT I think would be great. Also Keiral/Biron - come at me I wanted more from them okay.

R -  A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

Hmm, I definitely have a few, but I’ll stick npcs and then one extra which I’ll explain. Keiral/Biron as I stated above, bc I loved them. Also I know I reblogged a post about it earlier but um Vector/Quinn esp for an Agent!Quinn au. I think they would be really interesting together. OH also Phi-ton/Agent/Vector bc when I first played a female agent I thought Vector being okay with that marriage was very sweet and also that Phi-ton and Vector both seemed like they’d be legitimately interested in learning from each other at least. 

I’m pretty sure I saw this elsewhere, but I cannot remember where and for some reason Doc/Scourge is the funniest and best pairing I have ever heard I kind of wanted it.

I do have one that’s a bit weird, which is that I very much ship Viticalia’s older sister Dapatica with Senya in an au where Daps survived the Eternal Empire’s attacks.

I’m also gonna out myself here and just say that a friend got me into Hellblazer and Demon Knights and JLD in the DCU and I heavily ship John Constantine/Jason Blood and I will die on that hill. Give me that chaotic punk warlock and immortal queeny witch pairing pls.

T -  Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)

I tend not to change my decisions for ocs about like gender and sexuality and race once decided, usually bc I make them for a reason, but other than that not so much. Oh I will die on the hill that Kaliyo, Malavai, Doc and Vector should 100% have been bi romances (or at least added like some of the others in the expansions) bc the dynamic the three of them have with the player character male or female gets really deep and sometimes very homoerotic and I just pretend those were options in fics bc I can. Yes, I know Doc is a womanizer but like...man could that have been fun. 

I have some personal headcanons about Imperial, Republic, Zakuulan and Alliance culture but like, only stuff I would toss in fics, not anything I care about anyone else using.

This got long and I’m so sorry but thank you so much for asking!
