[kissingarthurclaus]

Kepler has had three previous masters before being assigned as Brea's padawan. He was starting to get used to the rejection, but something feels a little different about it this time around...

Penelope: Forgive my boldness, but… are you trying to court me?

Callisto: Yes, for the past four months *He admits firmly, revealing a bold and playful smile* I appreciate that you’ve finally noticed.

Choi Han: Ah, that clears up the mystery of such extravagant gifts.

Cale: As well as Xiao’s growing hostility in your presence *He comments with a hum, crossing his arms as he takes a seat next to the dark-haired man*

Penelope: I-I thought all those details were a show of camaraderie *She articulates incredulously, bringing both hands to her face in a vain attempt to calm the tide of emotions overwhelming her* This turned out to be more complicated than I imagined… *She exhales a sigh before setting her gaze on the young blond man, who returns the gesture with joy* You’ve been playing with me all this time!

Callisto: In my defense, I never confirmed that I aspired to be merely a "comrade" *He steps forward boldly, leaning slightly to hold her hand, tracing soft and rhythmic circles on it. Fascinated by how those emerald eyes study him with intense apprehension, appearing fiercely cautious of any small gesture of his* Besides, it’s too late to back out now, so I respectfully request your kind cooperation to let this romance between us continue.

Imperial Domesticity: Winter Days

Penelope and Callisto create fun winter traditions and heal their inner child in the process.

Penelope looked at the glistening snow and watched as the servants cleared paths in the snow. It was her fifth winter in the palace and the first since she’d become Empress. She gently stroked her womb and smiled at the thought that in a few months, she would be able to hold her baby in her arms.

Callisto came in, doors opening gently so as not to startle her. It had become a routine for him to check up on her at least once every hour or two. Her lover of five years and husband of mere weeks, he was an overly protective and doting man, and was quite a devoted husband, and one that she had no doubt would be a wonderful father to their little baby.

She smiled at him, a hand held out and waited patiently as he crossed the room and pulled her into a hug from behind. Their intertwined hands on her stomach, his face buried in her neck, tickling it with his breath. He hummed in contentment.

“I’ve dismissed court, there’s too much snowfall anyway and it seems as though more will come as the hours progress.” He said. “I sent them away through magical means.”

“And the paperwork?”

“I’ve finished it all.” He said proudly. “So we have the whole day off.”

Usually, such a statement would be met with a suggestion to retire to bed which often led to a bout of love making but Penelope had gotten a different idea. She had heard that the large reflecting pool in the garden had frozen over and she had already had some preparations made before hand for such an occasion.

“If you’re free, would you care to join me for a stroll about the gardens?”

“Won’t you be cold?” He asked her worriedly. Her attentive husband was always worrying over her health, especially now.

“I’ll be fine.”

-

-

“What are we doing? Callisto asked as he eyed the shoes.

“Ice skating.” She explained as she waited for her husband to finish tying on her shoes, something he’d been quite insistent about.

“Ice…skating?”

“Yes, we’ll be doing something fun today that isn’t within our usual activities.”

-

Callisto had picked it up immediately, something Penelope wasn’t surprised about, the man had perfect balance and could master almost anything in an instant. One of the things he struggled with was giving her independence, his need to know everything about her, to be able to ensure that nothing untoward was happening around her, meant that he had manipulated as much of her environment as he could, even the personnel she had worked with as an archaeologist. He’d gotten much better since that first argument they’d had when she ran away to the duchy and she could often bring him in line with a long conversation. And now that they were married, it was as though something had settled in him.

They laughed together as they spun around, hand in hand, over the reflecting pool he’d had placed in when he had begun planning the wedding, a feature for the gardens to commemorate their wedding. The wind whipped around as they twirled and danced, gliding on the ice. She loved watching him smile, watching him enjoy life and experience these things that a normal person would have had in a normal and loving childhood.

She loved sharing these new experiences with him as they tried to explore things they’d missed out on. Him from his duty and the war, and her through poverty and abuse in both lives.

They went ice skating every day as much as the weather permitted it, and they took Judith along as well when she was born. Judith, strapped to her father’s chest, often stared wide eyed at her surroundings, wings fluttering in excitement, a high pitched shriek of laughter as they played in the snow.

-

-

On Judith’s third winter, Penelope had decided on something new. Yes, they had gone ice skating, made snow men and snow angels, and now… now they were going up hill to where a sled would be waiting for all three of them. Callisto was now used to her wild ideas of play and went along with it easily enough, knowing that this was just as much for the two of them as it was for their daughter.

“Judith and I are getting on first.” She said. “And you come in after us, and then we’ll go down hill. Alright?”

He eyed the sled suspiciously. “Penelope, sleds like these are dangerous and they’re only useful for carrying supplies through wintery terrain.”

“Just trust me, it’ll be fun.”

He sighed, giving in easily, most likely knowing that he wouldn’t be able to change her mind nor win an argument against her.

She had sat down first, placing Judith on her lap and tying themselves down. Penelope wasn’t stupid, she had the sled made so that there would be magical protections in place to keep them safe, and she had the hill inspected after choosing one that wasn’t too steep.

Callisto got in after making sure that they were really secure. And then he braced himself, an arm around her and Judith before he kicked the ground and pushed them over the edge. Judith screamed loudly, a wide smile on her face as they sped down the hill.

When they finally stopped, Judith waved her hands. “Again! Again! More sled! Mama, Servant! More!” She demanded.

“Well, who am I to say no to my little princess?” Callisto asked as they got off the sled. He easily lifted it up with one hand and they trekked back up the hill.

After an hour or so of continuous sledding, Penelope had one last thing she wanted to do before they went back. As Callisto handed the sled over to a waiting servant, Penelope picked up some snow and made it into a ball, aimed for her husband and flung it as he was turning back to her. It hit him square in the face.

She laughed at the stupefied expression on his face. There was no killer intent, no malice or any of the sort to alert him. Just his wife’s regular mischief and good humour.

He huffed and picked up some snow as well. And with that, the imperial snowball fight began. Judith had even joined in, throwing a few poorly aimed and poorly compacted snow balls at her father before she merely jumped on him, ‘tackling’ him to the ground and tickling him into ‘submission’, though in truth it was her adorability that had gotten her husband to submit. Thus ending the snowball fight.

After dusting themselves off, they walked back into the sun palace and Penelope ordered some cookies and hot chocolate with marshmallows brought in for an afternoon treat. The quick change in clothes allowed her orders to be met and the three of them cuddled on a fur rug in front of the fireplace, a soft, warm, and fluffy blanket covering them as they had their treats.

She listened to Judith’s stories of her adventures and lessons, listened to Callisto’s voice reading one of their daughter’s favourite stories, and she herself sang some lullabies until their baby fell asleep. Yes, this was the perfect day among many other perfect days she’d had since she had been with Callisto.

Her eyes soft as she gazed at her husband who was staring at their daughter with so much love. The shadows in his eyes were mostly gone now, chased away by the love he surrounded himself in. And every time she found a new way to replace those horrible associations of war and death he had with things as mundane and fun as sleds with something fun and exciting, she felt as though she had won a great victory. In a way, she felt as though every time she made these core memories for her daughter, she and Callisto were also healing from the scarred and tormented children they’d been.

-

Their winter day traditions kept evolving, growing as the time passed and their family expanded and grew. Their children adapting and playing on their own when their parents were too busy. But it wasn’t uncommon for Penelope and Callisto to take one day in the winter when they’d be able to just spend time with their family rather than do some work.

The rug cuddles became more complex as they shifted around, pillows on the floor as they made little forts with the blankets and chairs, the servants already anticipating Penelope’s request for treats. The children would put on little acts or perform the songs or poems they’d written. Sometimes they’d fall asleep there, having taken their dinner in the family room, and wake up to their gift giving day. Her own take on Christmas and Saturnalia. And Penelope knew or at least she hoped, decades down the line, when her children began families of their own, they would continue with these traditions and cherish them. Holding these memories together as precious to them as they are to Callisto and Penelope.

I had this idea when I was shovelling snow the other week and one of the dad’s was running down the road for our little hill street with his daughter on a sled and pulling her back up. I wanted them to have this happy moment with Judith. And in the future, their other children would experience it as well. Penelope also liked the fact that she was changing Callisto’s perceptions of winter. Before they met, he hated it with a passion given the difficulty it made with moving his army and supplies, the fact that his men died from the cold, and the memories of the snow red with blood. The way the sleds were only used for the supplies also made him associate it with those negative memories.

After he met Penelope, she would spend winters in the palace because it was too cold to dig and the ground froze anyway so there was no point in her trying to excavate. But then she brought in mistletoe kisses, gift exchanges, New Year’s kisses, and now all of these other activities that he did with her and their family like skating, snow angels, snow men, snowball fights, sledding, rug cuddles, pillow forts. It was something so amazing he couldn’t help but look forward to snow days.

P.S. A love twice lived’s second chapter is now out.

Callisto referring to Gabrielle as “the friendship of your life” when talking to Xena is so funny to me. Did they switch it from “love” at the last minute? Was this sentence scientifically engineered to sound as gay as possible or did it just happen? Was this just a common phrase in the 90s?

Callisto’s story is awful but somehow Alcmene’s makes me even more sick to my stomach.

[gotstabbedbyapen]

It's funny how Polyboea wasn't 100% confirmed to have become a virgin huntress of Artemis but still had tangible relationships with Artemis' other huntresses or companions.

Her maternal great-grandmother Taygete was one of the Pleiades who were close to Artemis.

Her sister Laodamia married Arcas, the son of Callisto.

Her great-grandniece Phylonoe was included in Artemis' retinue.

Hell yes it is oc time babey!!! This is my togruta oc, Yora Tos, who was Brea's master when she was but a young padawan learner! 💖🫶💖

She was never offered a spot on the jedi council due to her being a little too new-age but she loved younglings and was perfectly happy teaching the next generation! Her personality was incredibly laid-back, and when little firecracker Brea was assigned to her, the council was hoping she might be able to calm the young one a little. Unfortunately for them, Yora had a very hands-off 'children will be children' attitude that gave Brea a LOT of freedom instead 😂 she wasn't UNWILLING to discipline her, but she did think Brea would benefit more from learning the consequences of her actions firsthand rather than reprimanding her too often, which eventually she did learn! The two remained very close even after Brea's knightship and I think Yora would have loved to take on other padawan after that, but the war sort of got in the way.

Her features are very soft, her gentle nature is reflected in her rounded patterns as opposed to the usually sharp-edged togruta patterns. Her colors are mainly cool, including her kyber crystal, as I think of her personality being much like flowing water and I wanted that to show it in her design. Her lightsaber also has a tulip-bud tip that I saw in the cartoon saloon star wars short 'Screechers Reach' and thought would be very fitting for her! Her first outfit design was kimono inspired but I decided to go the saree route instead in the second pic!
