Re-watched the Boba arc and RIP Ponds :(

-------------

They all feel it when Ponds' light in the Force is extinguished.

The voices that cry out from the 187th are the loudest, the loss of their commander a great blow.

Once all has been said and done, Mace Windu spends almost a full week out in deep space. Ponds looks like he's merely been sleeping, save for the blaster bolt in the middle of his forehead that made the Jedi sick to his stomach.

Mace sighs, and gathers up the body to place in a coffin that was stored carefully in the ship's hold. He doesn't always get a chance to bury his men, but when he does, it helps the sting of loss feel a little bit lighter.

His men are waiting when the Jedi finally returns, and he watches as Ponds is taken by his own to be buried on a small world they had been to once a long time ago.

Mace meditates in the barracks once the somber ceremony finishes, taking a page from Plo Koon's book to open himself up to the Force around his men. Their lights are dim as they mourn, and one by one Mace can feel them starting to surround him, as if drawing some strength from their general. When he opens his eyes sometime later, Mace realizes nearly all of his legion are sleeping or working, with the Jedi safely nestled in the middle as if he was the calm center of a storm.

Mace understands now why Plo loves his children, and closes his eyes once again.

He's not concerned about letting go, for Mace knows his men will be there to catch him.

See what Fox doesn’t remember is that it was his idea.

Okay hear me out on this one.

Command batch get to go on a mission together, cause Cody missed his brothers and said pretty please to Kenobi. They all get cursed to temporarily hear others thoughts and are all panicking cause their deepest and most embarrassing secrets will be revealed which are as follows:

Wolffe loves and cares about and cherishes his brothers so so so so so so so so so much.

Cody had sex with his general multiple times but they haven’t kissed yet.

Ponds has several pet rocks, all with names and distinct personalities and boxes that he’s turned into little houses.

Bly has a crush on his general.

Fox is blackmailing and/or threatening at least half the senate and is attempting (unsuccessfully) to blackmail the chancellor.

Rex daydreams about bullying Skywalker like a middle schooler (swirlies, wedgies, ext.)

When they all stop panicking they take turns taking the piss out of each other about their various things. Not Fox though, he’s pretty damn close to getting clones rights but they do make fun of him for not knowing how the chancellor electrocuted him that one time. They are all still in the middle of the mission while this happens, so they’re hiding from the enemy and communicating half telepathically and half in sign language. Later they all individually start collecting rocks they think Ponds would like. Everyone starts giving Wolffe more hugs cause he’s too self conscious to ask. Fox is sent whatever blackmail material they can get their hands on.

clone commanders + emails

first batch | second batch

[kitcat22]

In a world in which Fox died saving the republic from Palpatine, the newly reformed government, maybe out of gratitude maybe out of a publicity stunt, decide Fox should have his own monument.

The corrie guard commanders are initially opposed to this ‘cause they know fox would despise the idea, and they don’t want to remember fox as some martyr, he was a person with thoughts and feelings not a symbol.

After a while though, the want for Fox to be remembered for what he did wins over. They are also promised a large amount of creative influence, unfortunately they have to agree to share this with Fox’s batchmates.

There is, understandably, a lot of friction and arguments during the design process. The Corrie Commanders despise Fox’s batchmates for what they perceive as Fox’s abandonment, they dont think the others have any claim on Fox. The command batch on the other hand are immensely guilt ridden and are torn between doubting their right to be involved and hating the idea that they don’t have a right.

They do come together eventually, after a lot of blood and tears. They may never fully like each other but Little Gods did they love Fox. They really cant help but see little fragments of their lost brother in each other and together they really do manage to capture Fox’s essence and create something even he would struggle to hate.

The monument they settle on is a slightly larger than life statue of Fox, showing him with a rather feral look in his eye and a grin as he flips the middle finger, which they position to face the senate building.

It sends the senators into fits but the Clones adore it and many bring their kids to see it over the years.

you know what I needed today? Tookaverse shenanigans

[1-800-crscnt]

a cute thought i've had lately is that since the Guard likes to spoil other battalions while they're on leave with higher quality replacements, new foods, and small gifts like nail polish, the other battalions like to bring back photos of really interesting animals or pretty scenery, and sometimes even rocks and small plants (though that's harder to sneak) that they've seen throughout their battles. a really specific idea in my head is that one time, Ponds brought them an actual fish and a tank, which is one of Fox's most prized possessions, and inspired many new names and interests in marine life. i also like to think that the Guard has a hidden trophy room, where the more rare / difficult to obtain items (like the tooth of a very dangerous animal) are kept.

[varpusvaras]

You all know the trope of the Corrie Commanders becoming increasingly closer and protective of Fox as the war goes on, and sometimes become even hostile towards the rest of the CC's.

That, but they are really just competing over who Fox likes more. Thorn and Cody have a fistfight about it on the streets.

Mace Windu aka Master of the Order

[cc-tens]

My brother, we were never meant to spend our lives apart, I have known you since we were so very small. Now everyone is telling me that I must live on without you.

ALWAYS READ THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

a The Unlucky Ones snippet

“I’ve seen them all together,” Crop stated confidently. “The batch,” he emphasized with a knowing look.

Recoil looked up and snorted. “Right.” She turned back to the stubborn as fuck stain on her bucket. “Talk kark about something else. Everybody knows eerie shit happens when CCs are close together.” She had seen what went down when Marshal Commander Cody and Commander Doom had accidentally bumped into each other. Goosebumps broke out at the mere wisp of the memory and it hadn’t even been bad, or battle conditions. Or anything like what happened after Commander Faye—

“No, I swear,” Crop insisted and Recoil smothered the urge to rub her temples.

“You ain’t seen shit,” Forest chipped in, flopping down next to her and graciously helping himself to her blaster oil.

“You’re welcome,” she hissed and grinned nastily when he slowly put the oil down again.

“Anyway,” Forest continued, turning back to Crop, “as I was saying, you ain’t seen shit. Stop spreading this banthashit or you’ll catch crap.”

Crop tried hard to hide his embarrassment, Recoil would give him that.

“What are they teaching on Kamino these days,” Forest sighed. “We can’t have two CCs within five feet of each other or you’ll literally piss your blacks when the Curse goes batshit. So there’s no way you’ve seen the batch all together.”

Crop’s shoulders drooped. “Okay, maybe it was just a holocall with General Kenobi. But I swear Marshal Commanders Cody, Bly, Ponds, Wolffe, and Fox were there. The whole batch.”

Now that was interesting and disconcerting. Recoil grabbed the blaster oil Forest tried to inconspicuously snag. “What the hells’ brawl needs three systems armies and the homefront?” Campaign planning with two and more battalions already was a headache and a half because despite more soldiers in the dirt, life expectancy dropped ridiculously low.

Crop held up his hands. “No, dude—“

Recoil raised a brow.

“Sergeant,” he stuttered out, flushing red under her unimpressed stare. “It was about the Curse.”

“Did the commanders update containment protocols again when one of them goes berserk?”

“Something’s wrong with it.”

“Fucking hell,” Forest breathed.

“Something is wrong with it,” Recoil echoed. “Something is wrong with the Curse.”

Crop shrugged. “Seems like it. Marshal Commander Cody cleared the war room immediately.”

“Eyes only,” Recoil muttered to herself. “Shit is going to go down if they up the top secret.”

Coming soon to ao3 near you,

Fox’s batch finds out what’s wrong with him, except “what’s wrong with him” is that Fox was dropped on his head as a child and terrorizes his (unknown to him) evil wizard boss with just his personality alone until he gets electrocuted. Spoiler alert: telepathic torture does not discourage him.

Idk I’m a sucker for glowing eyes

Alpha 17: as the CC batch's instructor it is my job to keep an eye on the cadets and while doing that, i've come to the conclusion that it consists of two kinds of people. observe.

Alpha 17: THE FLOOR IS LAVA!

Wolffe: kriff! *climbing up on the couch with Bly thrown over his shoulder and dragging Ponds with him*

Cody: BATTLE STATIONS! *shoves Fox off the table*
