playing dress-up with cantik is like. ok what would this FEEL like. and also did Sonnas help them. The blue and green clips like crazy but it's worth it to me knowing that Cantik is enjoying the feeling of two swishy pieces of fabric around their legs, and the black gloves and boots against brown on the other are because Cantik literally does not know they did that. there's an outfit in the works that i think will look like absolute dogshit but that's because it's literally "what cantik wears on rare days they want to be covered" and nobody was consulted on the visual effect of said outfit. this is my favourite thing in the world.
You reblogged the dialogue prompts so I come belatedly with either "you weren't supposed to give up on me." or "i'll never recover from you, you know." for anyone who speaks out of these rn
I’m a day late so maybe you already have enough, or are otherwise sated, that would be fine. I hope you’re having a good day
not at all belatedly! I got no takers on that so far so thank you, I am very excited about this
Thinking about people who give up (or seem to give up) on each other got me thinking about Tad and Ivellan and the way they drift apart... so. Back at it with characters that have not historically gotten a lot of attention but still live in my head rent-free it is! This is subject to be retconned as I poke around with Del's story but. Tad and Ivellan are onetime best friends/queerplatonic partners who drifted apart after Tad lost Ivellan's baby on the way to taking him to a different jedi temple to be raised and then lied about it... normal stuff, you know. This is after they have both come to the Alliance where, lo and behold, somebody who looks a lot like the baby in question is a sith lord. Ivellan is understandably Concerned.
also this got super long for a tumblr post oops. i was so many words in and we hadn't even had ivellan and tad TALK.
Ivellan was right to come here, and she knew it, and she still had to tell herself that every morning before she emerged into the Force Enclave where she had to work alongside Sith. Her role was not so different, in some ways, than it had been when the Jedi were whole and together: gathering unruly souls together for meditation and discussion of the Force. The trouble was that these unruly souls were adults and rarely Jedi, and they were all here not to be taught the Jedi code but instead to pick apart what it was that set the Knights of Zakuul apart from either Jedi or Sith. Ivellan knew she was right to come here. The Jedi who had vanished into distant stars needed someplace to come home to.
It did not make the beams of red light any easier to see, especially in dark corners so much like that forest where she'd met her first Sith.
Still, her time in the Alliance had taught her something. Not every Sith was an unruly soul. It matched what she already knew, that not every unruly soul was Sith.
And when she came to meditate away her nightmares and saw Tad Herron kneeling before the former Empire's Wrath in an empty Enclave, talking to him quietly as if guiding the Sith through his own meditation, all she could think that both those facts were made flesh right in front of her. Not that she missed Tad still, or was angry at him for vanishing from her life. Not that the Wrath had her nose, or that she was still afraid he might turn on them all someday. Not any thought that had plagued her about either one. They simply looked to her like a strange matched set.
She waited, wondering, as they finished. It was easy enough to brush off the Wrath's looks. They were not so similar. It was Tad, really, that gave her pause. She'd always thought he felt about Sith as she did, that same throat-tightening fear telling them to run away before they were cornered. For him to sit so calmly across from a Sith Lord, as though the Dark Side clinging to the younger man like a shroud didn't remind Tad of clinging to her with bloody hands, the Sith must matter.
Ivellan looked at the Wrath's nose again and told herself it couldn't be true. Tad had told her he'd delivered her son safely to the arms of other Jedi.
Tad had slowly stopped speaking to her over the next few months, too.
"Ivvy."
She jumped, hand going to her lightsabre on an old instinct. Wrath was gone, vanished as she lost herself in old pain and fear, and it was only Tad in front of her.
"I didn't want to interrupt," she said. She didn't apologise for reaching for a weapon. They both did, when startled. He didn't need the apology.
She hoped it hadn't been so long that he did, anyway.
"You didn't," he said. "You settling in ok?"
"Nobody has gone screaming past my window on a heavily-modified swoop bike," she said as she began to prepare the Enclave for the day. Cushions, new training dummies... Tad didn't follow her as she walked the length of the room.
"Sorry," he said.
"For not waking me up with your trademark recklessness?" Was he still reckless? In his forties, did he even own his swoop bike anymore? Ivellan couldn't look at his expression as she laid out cushions for her meditation practice.
"No," he said. "I... I suppose not."
"Well, you should be," Ivellan said, startling herself. She straightened up to glare at him before she could catch herself. He still wore his hair the same. What right did he have to look like so little had changed? "We had a whole life planned together. So where have you been all these years? More than two decades, Tad! And I -"
Lightning, or the memory of it, crackled in the corners of her eyes. She wrapped her arms around her middle and turned away from him.
"You weren't supposed to give up on me," she said quietly.
"I didn't, Ivvy," he said. She still couldn't look at him. "I... Ivellan, I - your son, I -"
"I don't want to know," she cut him off sharply. "If I'd wanted a son I would have done something to keep him. You were the one I meant to keep. You're the one who left me alone."
There was no sound but the quiet hum of the computer terminal in the corner. Then one footstep. Then another.
"What do you want from me now?" he asked. He was too quiet and calm. He shouldn't have stepped hesitantly toward her. Where was his energy?
"I want my Tad," she said quietly. "Or did you lie him out of your life, just like me?"
A quiet, rueful laugh. She looked at him again, properly this time. He still wore the mask she'd gotten him so he'd look more presentable on Jedi business, red fabric now faded with age. There were lines on his forehead.
"I can still show you a good time, princess padawan," he said, reaching out a hand. "Got a swoop bike in the garage and lots of empty planet out there."
Ivellan sighed fondly and reached out to squeeze his hand.
"I have work to do," she said, like she always had when they were young. "Ask me when I'm done."
I hadn't written much about Tad or Ivellan and I wanted to do something, so have a little slice of life for whatever value of slice of life you can get from two teens who recently survived a slasher movie and are now haphazardly forming a codependent platonic Thing. You are welcome
Ivellan was starting to get used to this. Not that she would ever enjoy being woken up in the middle of the night, but at least she was secure in the knowledge that she would be.
"Ivvy, wake up!" Tad said from the foot of her bed.
Ivellan considered, as she had so often since she and Tad returned to the temple, whether she should continue this relationship. It seemed to mostly put her in the position of nearly getting caught doing illegal things.
But Tad had saved her life. A lot. And he wasn't all bad when he wasn't obsessively working on the speeder bike he wasn't meant to have.
"Wasn't there a race last night?" Ivellan asked as she sat up. Tad threw her a jacket. She unfolded it with distaste. He'd found a rough, too-large bantha-leather jacket with spikes on the shoulder.
"That was just some diving," Tad said.
"I'm not wearing this," Ivellan told him, tossing the jacket back. She frowned at him, trying to think when she'd ever seen Tad swim. "Diving?"
"Off the landing platforms!"
Ivellan thought about how high up the platforms were and sighed heavily. It made more sense. It did not fill her with confidence in the boy who'd attached himself to her side.
"You should come," Tad continued as Ivellan started to change. They'd gotten used to being too close, lacking privacy on the run for their lives. Tad had seen all of her before, when they'd both been covered in blood. It was hard to care now.
"Isn't that why you got me up? For the race?" Ivellan tried to snap him with her shirt, but he darted out of the way, grinning.
"I meant diving," he said. "You and me, we don't need gear. Not with the Force. Everyone thinks it's cool."
"Just so long as none of these everyones want to copy you." Ivellan frowned as Tad's grin got bigger. "And I'm not coming!"
Tad groaned, but he still looked eager as he opened Ivellan's windows.
"Come on," he said. "Crystal's out back."
"Crystal," Ivellan muttered, shaking her head as she climbed out the window after him. Only Tad would name his swoop bike. Or - maybe not only Tad, in all the galaxy. But he was certainly his own kind of Jedi.
my brain is like a monkey's paw. i think to myself "well I may have at least one roleswap au for each of my original three legacies but at least the new one doesn't have a roleswap" and then immediately was like "ok but WHAT IF -"

just took Cantik through Taris and she had. a bad time. spoilers for the consular story depending (if i recall my first two playthroughs correctly) on the choices you make. Being a good but abrasive person has its drawbacks... I want to do a second part to this but my head hurts so this is what we've got. At least I'm getting my writing groove back!
Sonnas had promised he would wait for Cantik in the Taris spaceport. He was always true to his word.
“Head back to the ship,” Cantik told Qyzen as soon as she felt Sonnas’ unmistakeable light in the Force. “I’ve got something to do.” She darted through the spaceport, dodging the few poor saps who had to work here, and only had to listen for Sonnas’ delighted exclamation of her name before she was tucking herself into his arms.
“Your ship or mine?” she asked, slipping her arms around him and pressing her face into his chest. He smelled like swamp, probably the same as her, but he was as solid as ever.
“What, we aren’t going to catch up?” Sonnas laughed. Cantik ground her teeth together. She didn’t want to talk about what they’d been doing here. Sonnas was saving the galaxy, and she’d murdered a Jedi.
“Cantik,” Sonnas said. He reached for her chin, trying to get a look at her expression probably, and she snapped at his fingers.
“Yours or mine?” she repeated.
“Cantik,” Sonnas sighed. “I can tell something is wrong.” He’d been startled by her sudden attachment to him, but now he wrapped his arms around her. Cantik shuddered in his grip involuntarily, and hoped he wouldn’t notice. It was a futile hope, she knew; Sonnas noticed everything. Normally she liked that about him. He really paid attention to her.
She didn’t want anyone looking at her right now.
“Are you going to take me to your ship and screw me if I ask nicely?” she said plaintively.
“Tell me what’s wrong, first,” he said. “Then we’ll see how you feel.”
He wasn’t going to drop it. He never did. He cared too much to let Cantik get away with glossing over her emotions.
But she’d never done something this awful before.
“I killed a padawan today,” she admitted quietly. Sonnas’ arms went slack around her for a moment as he stopped breathing. Cantik winced, waiting for him to pull back entirely.
“What happened?” He pulled her a little closer. Cantik couldn’t respond for a moment, with the relief sitting so large and painful in her throat.
“She wouldn’t listen,” Cantik said. “She kept – her master was – he was suffering like Yuon. He kidnapped her, and she bought into the crazy shit he was spouting and she wouldn’t fucking listen to me!”
Cantik had been told she was lucky she couldn’t cry. She didn’t think that was true, because the lack of eyes for tears left her with nothing but dry, heaving sobs in her chest. It was loud and painful and embarrassing and now she was doing it directly into Sonnas’ robes no matter how she tried to bite it back.
“Oh, Cantik,” Sonnas sighed. “What hangar are you in?”
“What?” Was he seriously going to take her up on her proposition now?
“Doesn’t seem like now is a good time to introduce you to Kira,” he said. “And we should talk in private. I’m sorry I made you tell me out here in the spaceport. That’s… awful.”
Cantik swallowed, her horrible sobs fading to hiccups. “Yeah.” This wasn’t how she’d wanted him to make her feel better, but maybe it was. She knew what Sonnas was like. She knew what he would do for her. He always put effort into the ugliest of feelings, and Cantik couldn’t deny that was part of what she loved about him.
“She was such a good kid,” Cantik murmured as she pulled out of Sonnas’ arms to lead him back to her ship. “She and her master were close. Like you and yours.”
Sonnas knew how jealous Cantik was of the years he’d spent with his master. Nobody ever passed him around like a piece of junk they didn’t know what to do with. Typically, he didn’t say anything, just hummed sympathetically.
“I told her it was stupid. That nothing Tykan was saying made sense. She wasn’t an idiot. Why didn’t she listen to me?”
“I don’t know,” Sonnas said. “It wasn’t your fault. You tried everything you could. She made her choice.”
That was what Cantik had said to the soldier who’d wanted her to kill Tykan. She clenched a fist thinking about him. He was so angry she’d let Tykan live, when it was never his fault this happened, but he’d been broken up over the girl who heard Tykan spout nonsense and still thought he was worth fighting for? How was that fair?
“Cantik?”
“Nothing,” she said. “Look, if we’re not going to sleep together, you don’t have to come with me. Not much left to talk about. I told you everything.”
“I have a little time,” Sonnas said. “My ship needs maintenance before we can leave. I’ll stay.”
“Great,” Cantik muttered. “Just great.” At least Qyzen would have already tucked himself away in the depths of the ship like always. He was reliable like that.
“It’s obviously bothering you,” Sonnas said quietly, stopping Cantik just before she stabbed her finger at the button that would take them down to the hangar. To her embarrassment, he reached out and tapped the button below the one she’d aimed for. She’d been so caught up in herself she hadn’t been paying attention. Stupid up and down arrows, always painted on and never textured. “I don’t want to walk away until I know you’ll be all right.”
“What if you have to? What if your ship gets fixed and they need you somewhere right away?”
There was a flicker of guilt in Sonnas’ Force presence. Cantik pounced on it.
“You do have somewhere to be. What are you doing with me?”
“I can’t go anywhere until my ship is fixed, so I might as well help my best friend,” Sonnas said firmly. “Yes. I should go as soon as I can. But I can’t right now, so I’m here.”
She wished just an ounce of that care was because he loved her the way she loved him. Then again, she was bad enough at being a Jedi in most people’s eyes, for all that she followed the code and tried to do everything right. Clearly she hadn’t been Jedi enough to convince Aris…
Maybe Sonnas not loving her back was another way he was saving her.
something something extremely sexy when magic users resort to physical violence. yeah i have the power of god and anime on my side but i also have THESE HANDS. i cast Punch You In The Face. i take my magic staff through which i channel the vast energies of the elements and the cosmos and i cast Severe Concussion And Skull Fracture. casting time for xenoglossy too long, chose the quicker route of Stab You In The Throat.
job well done, or perhaps they're just out for a stroll?
borrowed @ebitenpura's grail for a doodle with him and miri. there's a little tiny world in the back of my head where these two are good friends and miri is a hired gun for grail's alliance. i wonder what sort of missions the lost prince and pride of clan cadera are going on ...
i must now know how Maligna would respond to getting attention from Areia 🤌🏽 i don’t think Areia would mess with Maligna the way she does with most people but would definitely be interested in her given her interesting background and “hobbies.” Areia would probably see Maligna as a potential ally, on top of being physically attracted to her, and lavish her with attention and gifts (including a few individuals for Maligna’s “collection”).
oooooohhhhhhhhhhh yay horrible sith women unite! hmmm. Maligna's vibe when she is the one pursuing people is very forward, very blunt in her own confusing way, increasingly excited as the object of her affections proves to be weirder... I think if Areia shows anything that's similar to Maligna's approach then it's easier for her to understand, but if (as I suspect) Areia is smoother and even just a little more socially adept it becomes much more confusing. People don't want Maligna. She isn't a thing to want, and certainly not a person to covet. She is in the wrong place and she knows it and she doesn't try to fit. I think it makes her a little uneasy at first, having never had anyone return her interest.
Definitely the gifts are where her opinions would start to shift. Small gifts are fun enough that Maligna can be warily excited; people Maligna would collect? Oh. Clearly Areia understands! She wants Maligna to gather all the Wrong People in the galaxy! She's helping! If Maligna can make it past whatever security she's dealing with, she's showing up at like 6 am in Areia's bedroom with a delighted grin on her face and a holo of whoever Areia gave her where they are now locked away in Maligna's home.
(Also. re: Areia's attraction. Maligna doesn't think of herself as enough of a person to really know whether she experiences sexual attraction or not. She's never bothered with sex. Her interest in her collection is... not sexual in nature. I think it's possible it could turn sexual given the right dynamic, but more because the object of her interest wants it than because she would. She's just so disconnected from herself as a person... If Areia initiates sex, then so long as they've had time for Maligna to get used to her Maligna is delighted to oblige. A lot more interested in servicing Areia than the other way around, so to speak - but she'd have a good time with it. It would make her feel like Areia is a little bit hers, even if Areia isn't exactly her collection. She's not obsessed with Areia the way she is with the people in her collection, but I think if Areia played her cards right she could have a pretty ride-or-die ally in Maligna.)

hiiii i love all your Darth Maligna content so far! her “collecting” people is interesting to me so a thought experiment, if you will: are there any of my ocs that Maligna would be interested in collecting, like Novei or even Areia? 👀 any who she wouldn’t even bother with?
Ooooohhhhhhhh this is a fun question. Maligna likes people who are very obviously unusual in their situation, though if she finds out someone is more subtly strange she will obsess over them too (like. She wouldn't blink at a cathar in the republic, unless she found out it was my girl Ava whose parents run the Alliance which is independent. She likes the complication...)
I think the most obvious person to catch her eye is actually Selaea, which i am sure would go terribly, but. That is not where Chiss are supposed to be! Maligna wants them. And maybe their whole crew if i remember Selaea lore correctly honestly -
Areia is a maybe, I think it depends on what Maligna knows about Echani and if she has met many among the Sith. If Areia is unique in her experience then that would be a sign of not fitting in enough for Maligna to start watching, though she might not try to "collect" Areia right away depending on how well Areia seems to fit in.
I think most humans and apparently-humans Maligna doesn't bother with. Humans are everywhere and they do everything and unless their parents/origins make their circumstances unusual they're boring to her. For instance, if she had any chance to find out about Stasma's family she would be intrigued but if she just saw Staz she would be like. Ugh. Dull. Which is actually so funny, imagine you are a human with fucked up parents minding your own business far away from your family and at first this sith lord looks at you like you're furniture, then she reads a couple news articles about your dad or whoever and suddenly she is stalking you insisting you and she are the same... rip this hypothetical person. She is definitely more likely to be intrigued by aliens, since as an Imperial she isn't used to seeing them in positions of power.
Selaea, upon realizing they're being stalked by a Sith Lord:
Selaea is definitely confused as to how or why a Sith Lord is trying to poach them and their crew (which you did remember correctly! Sealea's crew is primarily composed of Chiss defectors). at first, they might just chalk up Maligna's interest in them as a classic case of Sith Lords being "weirdos" (their words, not mine) and not take it too seriously. but once they realize Maligna is serious about stalking them and adding them and their crew to her "collection," they'd be fighting for their life to make sure that doesn't happen 💀 i also realized that Maligna might find particular interest in Rera, Selaea's older sister, who: ran away from the Ascendancy upon discovering she was Force-sensitive, was kidnapped back to the Ascendancy with her memories erased/Force-blockers administered, and sent to Imperial Intelligence, where her mind was further fucked with through the Castellan Restraints—and through the process of freeing herself from them, her old memories returned and she then defected from the Empire to join Selaea's crew :D
as for Areia, she is a fallen Jedi, but i don't know if that'd interest Maligna 😅 i actually think that Areia and Maligna are similar. while Areia doesn't exactly "collect" people, she does like interesting people and sewing chaos and discord wherever she goes. it actually might be Areia who tries to "collect" Maligna first because she finds her interesting for much of the same reasons Maligna would be interested in Selaea.
5. Who said "I love you" first? How did it happen?
21. What are their favorite everyday activities to do together?
25. To what degree do they engage in PDA or general physical touch?
For Cantik/Kerrish/Lana? (it's forcemalarkey, hellooo, i love them)
Hi!!! I also love them thank you for the chance to ramble more about them
5. I think. It's probably Kerrish. Maybe I get silly with it and the very first 'I love you' ends up being Cantik at Kerrish and everyone is like 'i'm sorry what did you say' because that WOULD be fun, but I would need a really good moment to choose for that so the definitive answer must wait until I've dragged Kerrish to kotxx and really gnawed on how that all develops... the more likely answer is that Kerrish tells one of them he loves them. I had this idea of Lana seeing Cantik and Kerrish kissing and realising that she loves them both together so probably to Cantik? which isn't as messy as Cantik being the one to say it but still. messy. especially because knowing Kerrish it's in the middle of him kind of breaking down about how Cantik always looks at him for Sonnas even now that they've been getting nicer and he's tired of it, tired of pining for someone who just wants the ghost over his shoulder, and then Cantik picks up on the word 'pining' and asks about it, and. Kerrish can't lie. just a really simple, quiet, "I love you." absolutely defeated. expecting Cantik to blow up at him. and then they don't.
(Lana gets quiet, reasonable first 'i love yous', after Kerrish comes back from running around Dromund Kaas with Acina for him and then a couple days later when Cantik is being weird about it because she didn't say it to them so does that mean she doesn't like Cantik as much?)
21. everyday activity is such a fun thing to define in this universe. everyday for them means running the Alliance. this is not, as you can imagine, Kerrish's favourite thing. He does like taking his ship out for a flight, so any chance he can steal to do a basic smuggling run, he's going to try and bring Cantik (Lana is NOT safe to bring, she'll make him do commander things) so they can just. sit in hyperspace together. He'll show Cantik basic ship maintenance and inevitably take over when Cantik pouts too hard about it. (Cantik likes that, too. They actually really want to know how to do everything and want to figure it out themself but being taught by Kerrish, and then having Kerrish be really competent and confident right next to them, that's pretty good too.) For the Lana involvement... She does like her job and she does like getting Kerrish ready for speeches or appearances and so on. But since he's usually uncomfortable, the best everyday experience is probably just. bedtime. everyone is winding down, it's the closest Lana can come to stepping out of her advisor role usually, and they can be close without worrying about anything political.
25. oooohhhhh touch. I think Kerrish is a very "hand on the waist to tell you I'm here sneaking around the corner" and "hand on the shoulder as I reach over you for a plate from that tall cabinet" kind of guy, not just with partners but with everyone. He likes to touch and thinks very little of it. Cantik is much more hyperaware of touch, having not gotten much of it except from Sonnas, so Kerrish's easy touch freaks him out at first and then slowly turns into something he absolutely craves (which is a fun little miscommunication. Kerrish trying not to touch and Cantik silently begging for it. they're really normal together.) Lana doesn't like true PDA, because they have to be professional running the Alliance. There are moments where she is physically affectionate with Cantik in subtle ways, because they got used to each other in the five years even before anything romantic came up and so she picked up on how much Cantik appreciates a gentle touch (and that Cantik won't say a word about it) - she comforts them with a hand to the arm or takes their hand under a table. Kerrish she learns to comfort in this same way, though she's even more subtle about it because again. Professionalism. But in private or among friends I think the kinds of hugs and kisses we get in-game are occurring semi-frequently. Partly she is very much managing her partners, showing them affection because it keeps them from freaking out, but also she does that because she wants them happy. Manipulation for a good cause? It's not like she doesn't like the kissing she's just very practical about what kissing achieves for her. I do think when they're in truly private moments, they're kind of all over each other. Or, really, Lana and Cantik all over Kerrish, who's tall and broad and soft and very good to cuddle with. He doesn't mind that at all. Weighted blanket made of his favourite people...
ohhhhh i get to revisit all my theron ships today yay! time for the cuteness (i hope. i always think they're going to be cute and then these two look at me like it's time to contemplate The Angst)
3. How did each realize they had feelings for the other? (I.e. the "oh no... I actually have feelings for them" moment)
I want to say that Theron's realisation is right before that fic I wrote where Ansehi talks about her eye socket and kisses him - like literally as she is at Vaylin's feet looking like she's about to get killed, he's like "oh NO I'm in love with her and she is going to die." because I love to torment him. Ansehi notices her own attraction to him really fast, and their early relationship is a lot of her pestering him and then just "happening" to leave him with the thought that he needed to do whatever he was working on, but she actually realises she loves him after that fic. she wanted to date him and see where it went, to be clear! the kiss was her signalling that. but love? Theron falls asleep working on something while sitting next to her in her bed, and she takes the datapad out of his hands and saves his work and turns it off and tucks him in, and she realises this is exactly what she wants forever. (And then she wakes him up to tell him that because she is so excited that she's even capable of this kind of love. he's been asleep for five minutes and now his girlfriend is shouting about the fact that she loves him? where did his datapad go? ansehi i love you too you're being very loud and i am very tired - he is capable of receiving that information much better the next morning)
22. What is each of their ideal date night ideas?
Ideal for Ansehi? She cooks a wonderful fancy dinner and there are candles and rose petals and a gorgeous dessert and Theron loves everything and it all goes perfectly and he's extra in love with her. Because that's what normal people romantic evenings look like. But in terms of what date nights she can actually achieve while also being ideal, I think it looks a lot like the in-game date night. They go out for drinks or stay in with takeout and a holodrama, she sits on his datapad so he can't be distracted, and they have a nice time that hopefully doesn't veer into any serious topics (it usually does. they can't escape it). I think Theron's ideal date night is very much in line with that, too, though Ansehi is so concerned with ideas of what Normal People Do that he might try to give her that kind of night on his end. He will be procuring takeout for it though. He knows his limits.

Which is actually so funny, imagine you are a human with fucked up parents minding your own business far away from your family and at first this sith lord looks at you like you're furniture, then she reads a couple news articles about your dad or whoever and suddenly she is stalking you insisting you and she are the same... rip this hypothetical person. She is definitely more likely to be intrigued by aliens, since as an Imperial she isn't used to seeing them in positions of power.
Oh yay! The original Nalyan ship (unless you count the crush on Corso starting from moment one with the man. And the Lando Calrissian one night stand that I like to drop into nalyan posts at random because it's funny to me.)
12. What is one of the most pivotal moments in their pre-romantic era of their relationship?
Technically the sex is pre-romantic... but really I think it might be when they find Nok Drayen. If there is one thing that gets Nalyan to really truly soften to Risha, it's knowing about her dad. He has a complicated relationship with his own father, after all. He is so intensely caring and apologetic after all that goes down, not even bothering to put up his usual prickly front, and that's when things really start to change for them both - a chance to see each other without the bravado for the first time.
17. What nicknames would they use for each other? If none, why not?
She mostly calls him Captain, because he spends literal years not even telling his crew his name and then by that point it becomes habit. If anything, "Nalyan" functions as the nickname. It's rarer, and usually what she breaks out when she wants something. He calls her Rish, because it pissed her off, and then it became the thing that only he could call her.

12. What is one of the most pivotal moments in their pre-romantic era of their relationship?
13. What is one of the most pivotal moments when they are well within the timeline of their romantic relationship?
9. Are there any AU ideas involving them that shake up their dynamic or story?
22. What is each of their ideal date night ideas?
Oooh thank you! It's been a hot minute since I trotted out Kit/Theron so let's play in this space...
12. Pre-relationship the most important moment is as they're working together with the Korriban/Tython battles, because Theron gets this puzzling guy to think about and finds himself as interested in Kit as in the looming intrigue, and significantly less worried about Kit (hilarious given the uhhhh bright yellow eyes.) And Kit gets someone treating him really normally - not like The Hero and not like a failure, just. A man who knows how to fight. And then Theron does ask Kit out for a drink and it may not have been a date but by god does that stick in their minds after, the little "what if it had been." Without that, none of their relationship could ever have happened.
13. Most pivotal during the romance? Well. Uh. Traitor arc. Not in a good way... Kit finds out Theron has left and goes after him. In the au where he is commander he goes full "I'm going to kill you" (and then marries Theron in the end way too fast anyway -) but in the main universe, well. Ven is commander. Kit doesn't trust his own beliefs. If Theron says Ven is wrong, Kit has to believe him, so he turns on Ven too and goes out to find Theron.
As you can imagine this makes a mess, because now Theron has to convey the truth to Kit so he won't actually kill their friends, but also they are both being watched. I also imagine that the conspirators are even less likely to trust Kit than Theron given his history... this both brings them close in a weird way, stuck among enemies as they are, and pushes them the furthest apart they ever are. Kit resents not being told the truth. Theron resents that he now has to watch over Kit which distracts from what he's doing here and means that maybe none of it works, which makes none of it worth it. And their need to cling to what they have without examining the problems means i think it's very likely Theron proposes to Kit during the Traitor Arc, instead of at its conclusion like in game. They at least wait to get married until their actual friends and allies can be there, but. Well. Things get easier but they're really bad at talking to make that happen.
9. I did mention the Commander Kit au... ironically being put in that position helps Kit stop his own fall, because he does have more of a sense of right and wrong than he believes even if he does imagine it like "what would kaoja do?" So he makes better choices than he had been doing, is kinder, accidentally starts climbing back to the light... he and Theron have it a little easier because of it, because Theron isn't seeing the worst Kit will do, though again. He did threaten to kill Theron for betraying him. Kit is not fully healed by any means... (no version of Kit would ever go through with it, I should say. He could never bring himself to hurt people just for hurting him. Yes he loves Theron and that's part of it but also is his life really worth revenge?)
22. Theron wants to work on the couch together and then Kit throws his datapad - ah. Game references aside I do think Theron is more a low key date kind of man, so he would like to stay in and talk with some movie in the background or something. He can even be convinced not to talk about work...
Kit's ideal date is also very quiet and private. A night in, maybe some romantic gesture like flowers or candles, a meal they absolutely got from the odessen cantina because neither one is a stellar cook by any means... they cuddle and Kit feels a rare moment of calm. No one depends on him, no one has expectations, it's just him and Theron finding happiness together. (His mood does immediately plummet if there are any interruptions from the outside world. Theron learns to turn off all holocomms fast. Everyone else learns after that that knocking means being met at the door with a grumpy, lightning-wielding togruta who may or may not be shirtless. They are left alone on date nights.)
