Series [Ongoing]: The Last Word [Fives x OFC]

After surviving a massacre on her home planet and rebuilding her life as a medic with the 104th, Mal’s world is thrown back into chaos when she transfers to the 501st and dives into a search for answers that she had abandoned a long time ago. Up against forces that she doesn’t understand and unwittingly a participant in a race against time, Mal turns to her new battalion for help.  Fives just wants his brothers to heal after the horrors of Umbara, and he doesn’t trust this new medic is telling them everything.

Mal and Fives' struggle to save those they care about comes together in unexpected ways, and, despite their best efforts, they find themselves thrust together in a battle for the future of a galaxy far, far away.

Series: TBD [Jesse/OFC!Reader]

You were trying so hard not to laugh, but despite the fact that you had seen him fall flat on his ass hundreds of times now, it was still funny. Fives had never seemed to get the hang of skiing. Not fully, anyway. He was miles better than he was when you first took him. But days spent skiing with Fives were full of green slopes and wobbly knees and pizza skis. And he made it a point to come with you at least once every year, enjoying spending the day with you doing something you enjoyed, even if he wasn't the best at it. Fives was spread-eagle on the slope, skis splayed out awkwardly and poles dropped by his sides. He groaned dramatically, head falling back into the packed snow. "You good?" you said, humor coating your tone. Fives let loose another dramatic groan. "I think I need a nurse." Your mouth twitched as you suppressed a smile. He was fine. "Oh, that's a shame. The nurse is out of the office. Call back in five days when she gets back from vacationing with her boyfriend." "Boyfriend??" Fives played along, voice indignant. You giggled, but adopting a serious tone once more. "Yes, sir. Shall I leave a message for the nurse?" "Tell her to get her cute little ass over here and help me up. I want to make use of the hot tub on the balcony of our suite." Heat shot through you despite the cold, winter mountain air. "Fives!" He sat up, grinning shamelessly. His goatee had a sprinking of snow in it from when he'd fallen. "Sounds like the nurse is agreeable." You rolled your eyes. Shameless. He was absolutely shameless. "Come on, you. Get up. I want lunch before you drag me back to the hotel." Fives heaved himself up, pushing off the slope with his poles to stand. But he didn't make to follow you down the slope quite yet, instead just smiling at you. "Fives?" He pushed his goggles up, and his eyes were like shining amber in the winter sunlight. "You have no idea how beautiful you are, do you?" Your cheeks were already flushed from the cold air and rush of skiing, but you were sure you went bright red at the comment. "Fives!" "I'm serious!" He scooted closer to you, looking surprisingly balanced. He was always at his best when he was on a mission. And right now his mission was to admire how golden your hair was against the backdrop of snow. Your perfect curves, not hidden even by the bulky coat you wore. The sparkle of your smile and how everything about you just made him fall more and more in love every single day. You rolled your eyes again behind your own goggles, but smiled up at him. "Come on, you giant goof. Let's get lunch, and then I might just let you talk me off the mountain." Fives grinned: a grin that sent heat rushing through you like you were already in the hot tub. And with a whoop and cheeky wink, Fives was off. You followed him, your laughter echoing down the slope.

Bestie request 😎

Just like with Fives for your ship request, I almost instantly thought of Echo as your best friend. You two were first introduced by Fives, him wanting his twin to know his partner. And you two hit it off, of course! You make Fives happy, so that was enough for Echo. And you had long wanted to meet the twin Fives had not-so-unwillingly dragged into so many shenanigans. Unlike Fives, who can somewhat cook but cannot bake to save his life, Echo expressed interest in baking after first tasting your chocolate-chip cookies and took to it instantly. You two love getting together for afternoons of baking and wine (sometimes more wine than baking). Echo has also been known to join you and Fives for some of your (space) LoTR marathons. And unlike Fives, Echo can ski very well and gives Fives endless shit about how he can't. Echo also loves visiting with you at cafes because lord knows neither of you can live without coffee. You two have a biweekly ritual of going on "best friend dates" (so coined by Fives, who "laments" that his brother is stealing his girl and his girl is stealing his brother) where you two browse the local farmer's markets for fresh produce, bread, and flowers. He likes to ask how work is going for you (you only worked 55 hours that week, it's fine, Echo), and you love hearing Echo's updates about the Batch, and the way he so perfectly reenacts Hunter's and Crosshair's cat fights (he swears Crosshair was actually going to pull out the claws this last time).

"Hey, let's stop a minute?" You and Echo both stopped, taking seats on some rocks lining the hiking trail. It was the end of spring, just edging into summer. One of your absolute favorite times to go hiking. The mornings when you started out were still cool enough to be pleasant, before it warmed up in the afternoon as you were coming down the mountain. Echo reached into his pack, drawing out one of his water bottles. You dropped your own pack at your feet, doing the same. The water was still cool and felt amazing as it slid down your throat. There was a light breeze going, ruffling your hair in its ponytail and making a mess of the flyaways that had become unruly with your workout. Sweat cooled against the back of your neck, and you reached into your pack to get some more sunscreen. "Here," you said, tossing the bottle Echo's way after squeezing a measure into your hand. Echo's skin tone was slowly, but surely, warming and darkening the more time that passed. While he was still much paler than he should've been, and lighter too, he was getting better. And these regular hikes of yours were helping him regain his strength and endurance. The hike you were on today was a mild one in terms of difficulty, but a longer one in terms of length. The hike didn't have a lot of steep inclines, or portions of the trail where you were practically bouldering. Instead, it was a winding, clear, comfortable trek through the forests towards a clear, grassy valley and lake. It was one of your favorites, and you and Echo had finally taken a day to do it. Echo had pushed his sunglasses up to his brow to reapply some sunscreen, but he smiled briefly when he saw you looking his way. "Something up?" he asked. "No, just enjoying the morning." He smiled wider. "Me too." Within a few more minutes, you two were off again. A few more miles and breaks later, the trees opened into a scene that was so gorgeous it could've been a painting. The splatterings of colorful wildflowers throughout the green grasses, the purple-toned, snow-capped mountains, the sky so blue it made the fluffy clouds look even fluffier, the glassy lake, so clear you could see the mosses and rocks and fish in its depths. Beside you, Echo felt his shoulders fall slack with wonder. This. This was something he was never going to take for granted again. He'd lost so much time while in stasis, and never imagined he would get a second chance. But now he had one. He had his twin. He had his brothers in the Batch. And he had his best friend. All that, on top of this gorgeous, impossible view, Echo was happy. "Last one to the lake is a rotten bantha!" "Hey!" And you took off running after your best friend, laughter filling the valley.

Rival request ⚔️

Okay, this one took me a bit longer to put together, because who in the fucking hell would dislike you?!?? But then I realized, that's okay, your rival actually does like you, and you two are in fact friends, however, neither of you will admit to it because you've been mean to each other for years now and that's how it's going to stay, dammit, because Anakin Skywalker is one of the most stubborn SOBs in the galaxy and you find the situation kind of hilarious. You are constantly thinking up new ways to give him crap and rile him up. But your rivalry does actually start through frustration with each other. You got stuck treating his injuries once and he was not only being a total baby about it but he was refusing to follow the post-op care regimen!!! It exists for a reason but nooooo, not for Mr. Chosen One! You are fully willing and capable of sedating his ass if it refuses to get its injuries looked at (whether you've had to or not is between you, Kix, and Coric). But you also frustrate Anakin because Jesus Christ he's fine, he doesn't need this, so what if he hasn't slept in three days and has a six-month old blaster wound that still hasn't healed properly and a freshly broken ankle, he can walk on it still, so it's fine! But no! You just won't leave him the fuck alone! Through it all though, you have to admire his sheer determination and bullheadedness. It's brought him this far (once again, Victory!AU). And he admires the way you don't back down and okay, maybe you actually know what you're talking about. Once the twins are born, you sit him down (a fair amount of alcohol has been consumed already between the two of you) and tell him that he's a dad now. He has a responsibility to look out for himself and make sure he's still around to care for those kids. Not even Padme and Obi-Wan had managed to get through to him in that regard like you did. But the following morning and a pair of hangovers later (neither of you are willing to admit that night happened), Anakin and you still gripe at each other, but it's far more playful and has less heat in it than normal. But Maker, he still fucking frustrates you. And Obi-Wan is no fucking better lol.
