I have been tagged by @nymphl to add some self recommendations, and at first I was like "cool!" - then I choked on my chocolate when I read the rules:

Rules: When you get this, reply with your favourite five fics that you've written and pass on to others.

Five?!

Girl, I have written mostly trash. Down to the filthy porn trash. Actually, I have dug myself a grave in the biggest trashbin the neighbourhood can provide. Please, call me a trash panda, if you will. Since I returned to writing in the late 2023 (after a 7-year pause), I have been writing mostly for two ships. Let's see if I can dig out the better stories from my sleeve, shall we?

A Party Belowdecks - Thrawn/reader - Star Wars: Ahsoka - 3230 words - Chapters: 1/1 - Rated: E - Completed

Shortly after I published a multichapter story from Thrawn's time in the exile on Peridea, ideas started popping up like mushrooms after the rain. I decided to put them together in a series which seemed easier than adding chapters to an already existing story.

Summary: After long and tedious work, you decided to join Pyrondi on an adventure belowdecks. She led you to a party where you two have fun and accidentally forget about time. When you return to your shared quarters, though, Thrawn is waiting for you. What happens when he gets a whiff of another man's scent on you?

The Inbound Flight - Thrawn/reader - Star Wars: Ahsoka - 4284 (out of 54k written so far) - Chapters: 1/? - Rated: M - Ongoing

This is a little pet project occupying two years of my life already. I've been working on it on and off, and decided to publish the first chapter just for the sake of this post. It is much darker and more thought-through than the previous stories in the same series, and I've enjoyed writing on it especially because I can bombard you with crazy scientific facts - actually, that was probably the initial idea behind even starting with the character of Dr Lani Kordes. My hope is to finish it before we discover how Filoni fucked up our favourite autistic blueberry.

Summary: After so many years of loss and suffering in exile, Thrawn returns to the Known Galaxy thanks to the efforts of the Great Mothers and Morgan Elsbeth. However, his arrival has been anticipated, and the New Republic forces arrive at the site soon after, to take the feared Grand Admiral down before he can find allies to his cause. As a precaution, though, Thrawn sends the pregnant reader and their firstborn to the Chaos, with instructions to find refuge with his old acquitances, Admiral Ar'alani of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, and Eli Vanto, a former Lieutenant Commander aboard the ISD Chimaera whom he had sent to the Ascendancy well before the hell had broken loose over Lothal. The reader now has to fend for herself and step into a rancor pit. Will she be able to adjust to the changes that are coming her way?

Koalas and Cockatoos - Ben Mendelsohn/reader - Australian Actor RPF - 2256 words - Chapters: 1/1 - Rated: E - Completed

What can I say? I'm not excusing myself for writing self-indulgent porn featuring a reader who is veterinarian.

Summary: You cherished the slow mornings that usually followed after a day spent working hard - and being fucked by your husband even harder in the evening. While you waited for Ben to return from a quick trip to fetch something for breakfast, you were watching the native fauna from the window, hot tea warming your hands and mind wandering...

“Enjoying yourself?” he purred from behind you with that voice that had made you melt in the sheets last night. How did he get so close this quickly?

Tarkin's Game - Krennic/reader - Star Wars: Catalyst - 15515 words - Chapters: 4/4 - Rated: E - Completed

A part of different ongoing series, one that is actually a big experiment in itself - I've been writing it out of order, creating so many inconsistencies that I can't count them on fingers of my hands anymore. But in short, Krennic obtains a slave and frees her with intention to marry her (both for her brains and her cunt, obviously). As @meepetteoneonly said, it tells a story through smut. I think that's the best review I've ever gotten. Aside from her lovely legal advice on the reader's status of freedwoman, I have a second devil on my shoulder whispering suggestions for the whole series: @sparklebunny57

Summary: “You’ve had your fun, Director. It is time for your pretty plaything to serve the Empire properly. Perhaps you should dedicate your next leave to the effort to finally make her pregnant… Should you have a problem in that regard, I believe there are… other possible solutions to your fertility issues.”

Wilhuff Tarkin is not Director Krennic's supporter. They have been on each other's throats for ages, playing a dangerous political game. But now, Tarkin ups his scheming, including Krennic's wife (reader). He twists his Doctrine in his favour, ordering Krennic to finally make you pregnant, and thus forcing you to carry Orson's child (for the Empire, of course). Additionally, you have given him some ammunition unwittingly which he can use against you - and by extension, on Krennic himself. As he continues to manipulate you into an unwanted pregnancy, he also has a much more pervert fantasy to fulfill: since you've been turning his advances down, he thinks that he may get some satisfaction by observing you and the Director in bed.

Alderaan - Krennic/reader - Star Wars: Catalyst - 6969 words - Chapters: 1/1 - Rated: E - Completed

This one is less stressful than the other fics in the same series - until you remember that the planet will be blown up at some point in the future.

Summary: It was your first direct experience with assassination attempt. There had been always a possibility of it hanging over your head, especially when people had recognised you as Lady Krennic, and you had learned to live with that. But some situations are better to avoid altogether - especially since you are eight months pregnant with baby girl. To keep you safe, Krennic decides to move you to Alderaan, tasking his friend Lio Partagaz with the logistics in his absence. You are to stay hidden there until further notice. Assuming a false identity, ISB agent Bhrea is to pose as your husband. Thing is, you had not anticipated that you would have to deal with all the changes completely alone...

Honourable mention: Never an Absolution - Titanic - unpublished

Aside from writing for Star Wars, I have been working on a completely different one over the past few years (well, over 8 years now). The research beyond this behemoth is very intense, though, because I got the idea of introducing the less known passengers of the doomed steamship through the lens of a female medical officer, Dr Alexandra Metcalfe. So far, two excerpts from the story exist - one from boarding while the ship is prepared in Southampton, and a little dinner scene from the voyage.

Me, sipping wine: Uuuh, oh, so… umm, yeah. I was researching whether there is a defined relevant market for car safety belts manufacturing.

Grand Admiral Hux

When I first saw the trailer of <Rogue One>, I did think that handsome man in the white uniform maybe Hux’s father, but the Visual Dictionary, which recently released names of all characters, did deny this theory.

I like to imagine that Ghorman planet wasn’t completely destroyed in the end. Maybe Galen managed to find more efficient solution for coating the reactor lenses, maybe the mining didn’t go as easily as the Empire would like.

I also like to imagine there was uprising before the total collapse of imperial reign, beginning in Palmo and spreading further.

As a grown up kid that used to be huge history nerd, I would love the Palmo Uprising to be notable historical event, starting with announcement of time in the radio, a routine part of the day in mines. Except, it’s Dreena’s voice and Ghorman rebels seized the main place from which mining is oversaw and took control over the mines during night partisan operation.

Of course, Empire would deploy all the forces to prevent rebels controlling mines any longer and to destroy the rebels. A battle would erupt. Heavy imperial force trying to exterminate the rebels. After few hours, we would hear Dreena broadcasting once again:

“Calling the Ghorman people, Ghorman rebels and Rebel Alliance! Come to the mining site at once —the stormstroopers are trying to slaughter us!”

“We are calling on everything that is Ghorman to come to the aid! The stromtroopers are murdering Ghorman people here!”

Yes. This headcanon of mine was heavily inspired by Battle of Czech Radio in 1945 which marked the beginning of Prague Uprising against Nazi occupation. So - as much for what I think about when taking a shower.

some people don’t deserve fanfics, much less for free.

also even if authors didn’t tag any specific warnings but they used the “creator chose not to use archive warnings” tag, then that is your warning.

Nothing Worth Staying For

Thinking about how Orson Krennic is one of those Star Wars characters who basically arrives in canon fully assembled.

We know he came from Lexrul. we know he ended up at the Republic Futures Program on Brentaal. we know he grew into the kind of man who would help build the Death Star.

But what happened in between?

So I wrote a fic about it.

It’s about a kid from Sativran City’s Sixth District, where factory accidents are routine, illness is something you learn to live around, and everyone already knows exactly what your future is supposed to be.

It’s about class, resentment, ambition, and the particular kind of person who decides that if the world refuses to value him, he’ll force the galaxy to.

And maybe most of all, it’s about how the cruelest revenge Krennic ever took on the place that raised him wasn’t what he became.

It was forgetting it existed.

Summary: This is art.

A porn with a smidge of plot where Krennic believes he has all the cards. A Krennic/Kleya fic, ofc. Seven Minutes

There is something truly exciting about being subjected to Kleya’s stare.

He is used to being desired – for his status, for his own sex appeal, it has always been easy to provoke such a response from others. Since his days in the Academy, people have tried to get him for his body or brain, especially now that his influence is no small thing.

The fact is that power is attractive, and that is what he exudes from every inch of his skin. It amuses him that they don’t realize their own attractiveness to him relies entirely on the power he has over them.

Kleya is another story.

A pretty little thing that caught his eye while shopping one afternoon and that he couldn’t stop himself from acquiring her too.

He supposes he was not the first to try it. But he was the one to actually get her. That should imply her happiness or, at least, tenderness.

Her prickly nature makes it impossible.

Krennic has never had a pet before Kleya. He knew that one would demand attention and time that he doesn’t have.

But how can he resist when every time he holds out his hand there’s a chance that it’ll be batted away?
