Proton! Specifically, Proton Docs, which is currently a feature of Proton Drive. Pretty much exactly like Google but without the bullshit.

I am here for it, let me tell you. Maul/Kanan, Maul/Ezra, Maul/Kanan/Ezra, queue up Queen’s I Want It All because I certainly do.

Maul whispering lurid enticements into Kanan’s ear? “Your skills are lacking for a Jedi of your years. I can show you how to make up for it,” he says as he gently slides his hands over Kanan’s shoulders? Yes, please.

Maul seducing Ezra closer and closer to the Dark Side and turning him into his obedient little pet? Or kidnapping an unwilling Ezra and keeping Kanan as his blinded hostage in order to prevent Ezra from escaping because Maul swears to execute Kanan if Ezra makes a wrong move? Unf ♥

I’m here for all the angsty, darknasty stuff as well as the G rated stuff, too. Like Kanan and/or Ezra teaming up with Maul and pulling him just a leeeettle bit closer to the Light. Or Maul actually opening his heart(s) and learning to love because of Ezra, forgetting his lifelong plan of vengeance and embracing a new path, a new purpose. I have at least four (4) fic ideas where something like this happens and they’re almost all platonic, so I guess you could say that, like Kanan and Ezra’s relationship, I love the dynamic of these three characters whatever form it takes.

I really wish there was more Kanan/Maul art, though. And Maul/Ezra art, for that matter. One of my first-ever explicit artworks for Rebels (drawn in October 2020) started out as a threesome between Maul, Kanan and Ezra, but I eventually cut out Maul entirely (better than cutting him in half lol) and just focused on the Jedi.

I also have one (1) Maulezra fic under my belt with plans to eventually write more someday. You can read it here on AO3; please mind the tags and warnings. It’s dark, dubcon, and very, very explicit.

Hi! As far as I can tell, there's no existing copy of Operation Salvation hosted online anywhere, but I know I have a copy from my personal fic archive. Let me see what I can do.

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that I have the fic. It's safe, it's preserved, it's backed up.

The bad news is that the HTML is totally FUBAR and quotations and apostrophes aren't displaying in rich text.

Translation: It's gonna be a bitch to get this thing reformatted to a point where it's legible.

enjoy

God this is beautiful. Thank you.

(You don't have to answer if the ask makes you uncomfortable)

It's so kind of you to offer help, thank you. I appreciate it tremendously.

My post was a little vague; I'm self-conscious about airing my personal struggles, so perhaps I gave the impression that I'm still suffering. But I'm very happy to say that the worst appears to be over. I'm getting the help I need for the medical emergency I had on the 13th*, and the situation with my partner's job situation is resolved. Like, miraculously. It exceeded my highest hopes. Whatever good vibes everyone was sending me last week, I received them in full. I can't thank you all enough. I feel like asking anything more would be too much. I'm alive, I've got a roof over my head, a car that works, and renewed hope. I'm still trying to find my new "normal", so I'm not yet back to enjoying my hobbies, but let me tell you, receiving email notifs about nice comments on my fics and posts and art when I was Going Through It™ was like finding tiny glittering diamonds in a world that had turned to pure shit. I'm very grateful for those precious distractions.

Thanks so much for reaching out and for caring. I'm supremely grateful ☆♡

Oh my goodness. Thank you for such a lovely note, my friend. I hadn't thought of lower_tadfield in years, but oh boy, those were some great times! Just reading those usernames brought back a deluge of fond memories. The fics, the art, the icons, the conversations—what an experience! I'm so happy to be counted among those memories, especially yours. I'm fortunate and grateful to have been a part of the Good Omens community back then—and in a way still am, thanks to wonderful people like yourself.

Hey, no problem, thanks for reaching out to me!

Yeah, my website updated its PHP software a few months ago and the eFiction software I used to run my personal archive is no longer compatible with it, so the archive won't run anymore. The eFiction software hasn't been updated in years and may be on the verge of dying out altogether; I've noticed a lot of the old web archives that used to run on eFic have pretty much all migrated over to AO3.
