(YES!!!!!!!! MORE SWEET TOOTH AU MWHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHE!!!!!!!!!!! mwheheh more sweet tooth au, Janai & Kazi addition yippee :3)

In this au Kazi is Janai’s biological child, and Janai had them a year after the sick started. Kazi is a Jerboa hybrid so instead of human legs & ears they have Jerboa legs & ears . . . And also a Jerboa tail and Kazi doesn’t have the vocal cords to speak so they use sign language :3

When the sick started Janai immediately went into apocalypse mode, she gathered food, medical supplies, weapons, batteries, baby stuff, like my girl was prepared and ready to defend herself and her baby. And Janai found out her child would be a hybrid she was a little worried but once Kazi was born Janai was ready to set the world on fire to protect her prefect little baby

And Janai is on a similar quest that Amaya’s on, she’s trying to find her brother & sister, they didn’t have a great relationship before the sick but Janai is determined to find them and make sure they’re safe, she also wants them to meet their nibling :3

Restocked stuff in my store, and also added a bunch of new stuffs! Thanks for taking a peek :'D

Later today I'll share a more formal post with prompts, rules and guidelines. This event will be using the tag #tdp whump week 2026 so you are welcome to follow if you'd like to stay appraised, or block the tag if you'd prefer not to engage with this type of material.

I am used to Word autosaving relentlessly; for the last few years it didn't really even have a "File>Save" command that I could see--it just autosaved like every five seconds or something. It took me a long time to get used not clicking File>Save at the end of every writing session, and I never really trusted it--with good reason, it turns out.

Apparently, when you turn off Word's new ai features, AutoSave is disabled and cannot be turned back on. There is toggle button in the upper left for it, but when I try to toggle it on, it says "Autosave is not available because of your privacy settings." I worked in my document yesterday, put my computer to sleep with the doc still open on the taskbar (my usual habit), and when I opened it today, the new work I did yesterday was gone.

This time I only lost about 300 words, which I had typed into my document from my longhand-writing in a notebook (so I guess I kind of autosaved them that way!), but if I'd really been on a roll, this could have been a disaster.

The winds are shifting. I held Vokaz’s multi-tool in a tight grip. Fuel was low but I knew of a deposit of resources not far from here. I managed to bury my friends and made a grave for them. As much as one could while stranded on a planet with a killer hunting you and with no way to contact the frigate above.

My blood runs cold as I smell sulfur in the air. It wasn’t normal. Something was here.

“There you are, little gek.” A sultry voice snarls in my direction. My heart drops to the bottom of my stomach. It was Leoxis.

“I remember when your kind enslaved my people. A shame that my life is just a mere tool to you.” He drops his gaze to the ground and I instantly know why. A giant serpent with bat wings rose up alongside the korvax.

“What are you talking about? That was thousands of years ago!” I try to speak but the air was thick with the smell of death that my lungs were burning just by inhalation alone. “I cannot speak for my ancestors but I chose to end my lineage with the very family that enslaved yours!”

The korvax grunts in acknowledgment but the noise sounded off. The light on their face glowed red. He shakes his head and the light returns to its blue color.

“Lies. Your fate will be by my hand as were the others.” Leoxis takes out his staff from around his back and aims it at me. “No more pain. No more geks to rule us. All for the Atlas.”

He shoots and the serpent strikes.

I close my eyes expecting to feel pain but I only could hear screaming and explosions sounding off. Opening my eyes to rub them clear of debris, I was greeted with a sight that makes me wanna puke every time I recount it.

Leoxis head along with the rest of his body were scattered across the ground. The serpents body was goop and blood was oozing from its severed wings. I froze upon sensing that I’m not alone.

“Pheonix-01 reporting to capital ship we found a survivor. Extraction in progress.” a voice yells from the hill near our camp. I turn to witness two nomads stopping just close enough to my friends graves. Then a giant shuttle lands at a spot where yellow smoke appears.

They don’t bare the empire’s sigma which tells me that I have to play my cards right. I don’t want to make myself a target to these people by saying that I’m an imperial. Or I am a researcher in general. Does my outfit give me away?

“Put that thing on the ground and show us your hands.” Was all I needed to know to tell me that I was in serious trouble. “You’re entering a private sector. I suggest you stay quiet and let us take you in.”

Yep, I’m doomed.
