Local trainwreck getting out of a speeding ticket.

In my rewrite the werewolf wedding gets started a little differently. Most importantly, the gang don’t get turned into meifwa.

It just always felt a little weird to me. There doesn’t seem to be any actual lore connections between the werewolves and meifwas, beyond a surface level “tee hee cats vs dogs”, and with meifwas solidly confirmed to be a minority racial group in this setting, it felt extremely off to me to have human characters turn into them for the sake of cute cat ears and tails.

In my rewrite, Fenrir’s tribe instead has a prophecy about a union between one “touched by the sun” and one “touched by the moon” which I think plays a lot better with the duality theme of the werewolves. Fenrir is considered touched by the sun due to his albanism, and Aph slots into being touched by the moon because of her birthmark but it would also work well for rebirth Aphmau with her crescent shaped markings. Which is a big hint that the whole prophecy is bullshit, because Aph is the most sun-coded person that’s ever walked the earth.

Okay, probably last thing for the TrollsxAphmau designs I’ll do for a while. This time around, my Zoeymau QPR family

Aph: Redesigned her slightly because in the first drawing of her I wasn’t doing a ton of troll headcanons, but now I absolutely do. I’ve decided I want the classical trolls to be bird-like. Aph’s wings don’t work though, so they hang down more like a cape.

Levin: Country funk (Garroth being a country troll and Matilda being a funk troll) hybrid. Basically an alpaca centaur, I love him so much

Malachi: Pop troll, originally Aph found him mostly crystallized and drained of his talent. His connection to the family has strengthened him somewhat, but he still has to limit his singing, and is constantly bundled up to keep warm.

Good morning everyone. Happy Star Wars Day! I thought I'd share my latest fic, originally published on another site on Sapphic Visibility Day, but revised and improved for you all. It brings together two iconic characters: Doctor Aphra and Qi'ra. There is flirting, queer themes (and queer characters), implied/referenced sex, unresolved romantic tension, theft (to come), manipulation, manipulative relationships, and more.

Here's the summary, which hopefully piques your interest:

Qi'ra prepares for meeting a notorious rogue and renegade who steals from sealed archives, floating prisons, and almost-impossible-to-access caves, selling the artifacts to the highest bidder to earn some cash for herself. Thanks to her informants, she has a strategy in mind to ensure that this woman, who can be described as nothing short of an interstellar disaster, will work for her and do what she wants. She sees this as one of the many ways to bring down the Galactic Empire. At the same time, she plans to offer this woman something she can't, and won't, refuse, something she will not turn down, considering her dalliances with other women…

Hope you all like it!
