#echo bad batch

AAAAAh I love how you wrote him. Sweet imperfectly sweet. And I did in fact giggle about him being super private of his sex life as he should have given who he surrounds himself. Let him have some dignity.

thank you so much!! echo is truly so beloved to me, one of my favorite clones for sure 🥺🥺 i just know for a fact that dating echo means constantly being bugged by the bad batch (and 501st if yall go way back…) this man’s beautiful energy attracts chaos.

like he would def surprise everyone when they find out he’s been seeing someone and it’s like “SINCE WHEN????” and he says something crazy like “a few years” LIKE HELLO WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL US…echo, babe…

but the reason he kept it so private is exactly because his annoying ass brothers are now ON his ass about it. he’s pinching the bridge of his nose and muttering, “this is why i didn’t tell you guys…”

and he’d be so protective of you too like yk how guys do a little silly locker room talk, nothing harmful ofc bc it’s them but just light teasing about how echo’s “finally” getting laid, etc etc, oh my god…he’s shutting that down INSTANTLY i can just picture his stern mom glare. so fuckin hot 😩😩😩

Echo used the flattened and stretched starlight to see as he worked Tech’s mini air compressor around the head of his scomp. Small bits of metal and wire fell into the cloth across his lap; no wonder the thing hadn’t been turning smoothly since before he’d driven it into the head of that battle droid. He tucked the compressor away and tossed the debris into the scrap bag to be dealt with later.

He ran his left forefinger around the edge of the scomp and, with only a thought, made it spin. It turned smooth, slowed to a stop when he willed it. And for a moment he found himself marveling at how quickly you could get used to something so new, so strange.

Before his surgery on Anaxes, Kix had given him a choice to have the scomp removed. With the caveat that he had nothing, at the moment, to replace it with and it might be 30 rotations or more before they could make that happen. If they could.

Echo had chosen to keep it. Even if they’d had a mechno hand ready for him, he thought he might have chosen to keep it. It was...useful. Though he could admit—thinking of the empty sketchbook he’d found in the Tipoca City library, now tucked carefully away in his pack—there were some things he missed having a right hand for.
