I was tagged by @sunsetofdoom, thank you!! Since I saw you want more of these, is it allowed for me to tag you back again? :P I’ll also tag: @opalxempress, @dvrthncx, @miss-spooky-eyes​, and anyone else who wants to!

I’d feel weird doing one of these two and not the other, so you get two for the price of one. :P

If I was dying on my knees, You would be the one to rescue me. And if you were drowned at sea, I’d give you my lungs so you could breathe. I’ve got you, brother. I’ve got you, brother.

- Brother by Kodaline

*sigh* Folks, it happened again. a) I listened to a song and instantly attached it to a character, and b) I got more emotionally attached to new side ocs than I planned.

Dzalu actually ends up having a talent for Force-healing, much more than basically any other Force skill, especially with his twin.

I don’t draw these two often enough.

Send me WIP asks!

Thanks so much for the ask! :D

Reunion is definitely a temporary title. It’s a scene between Duserra/Darth Nox, my canon Sith Inquisitor, and one of her apprentices, Lusâri Khalso (another OC of mine, because I decided the head of Ancient Knowledge needs more assistants, in no small part because she still. can’t read or write. help her). This takes place well into KOTET, maybe even into Onslaught, after Nox was presumed dead and her position (and apprentices) taken over by Darth Anathel. (I’ve got OC tags if you want to know more about either of these two (Duserra, Lusâri) :3)

Since I don’t have a ton and I’m not sure I’ll finish this anywhere resembling “in the near future,” or at all for that matter, I’ll just post the whole thing.

-----

The masked Sith froze, lightsaber still locked with Duserra's. Shock rippled through the Force, even though Duserra couldn't see their face. For a split second, Duserra hesitated, and all was still as they strained against each other. A voice, muffled by the masked helm, asked incredulously, “Master?”

Duserra hesitated again, and the other Sith disengaged, taking a few rapid steps back out of reach and dismissing their lightsaber. They dropped hastily to one knee, reaching up to remove the helm.

Duserra hadn't seen her in years, even not counting the years in carbonite, but half-Sith were distinctive and this one was no exception. “Lusâri?” she asked, incredulous

“Master,” Lusâri repeated, all stunned awe openly displayed on her face. She was older, her braid tied back into a bun to fit within the helm, her face more weathered and tanned even through the blotchy red coloration her Sith blood had given her – but her face was still unmistakable. “You're alive! We thought you – I thought we'd never see you again.”

Duserra dismissed her lightsaber, almost absently. “Likewise,” she admitted. “Although this isn't how I imagined us meeting again.”

Lusâri paled slightly. “I – I'm sorry, master, I had no idea. From behind, with the hood – you could have been any Zabrak. I should have recognized your Force-presence.”

“Why did you attack us in the first place?”

“I was told an Alliance party would be coming through here, and ordered to eliminate them,” Lusâri replied. Duserra gestured for her to stand, and she got to her feet. “I had no idea – I didn't even know you were alive, much less that you'd be here.”

“Funny how that works, considering I haven't exactly been subtle,” Duserra muttered, half to herself.

“Sounds like someone's been trying to keep your survival quiet in the Empire,” Lana agreed, arching an eyebrow.

Duserra crossed her arms over her chest, another thought occurring to her. “Ordered. So you have a new master.”

“I – yes,” Lusâri replied. “Darth Anathel took your seat on the Council, and your holdings. But my loyalty is to you, Master. I'm sure Dzalu's will be too. If you'll have us, of course.”

Send me headcanon asks!

Oooh, thanks for the ask!

1. Their physical weak spots

Random d10 roll: Lusâri! Which is fun, because I don’t talk about her much.

Had to think about this one for a bit, because I don’t actually put Lusâri in combat situations all that much - she’s more Duserra’s secretary and research assistant than anything else. But she definitely can, does, and has fought, so.

Probably her biggest physical weakness is that she’s not all that physically strong - she can enhance her strength with the Force, but only temporarily, and it drains her. It’s not her specialty. She’s more fast and agile than anything, and she prefers to end fights quickly and at range if possible. (Telekinesis is a gift of hers.)

KOTFE/KOTET era, she’s got asthma or something similar from that one time she almost died and Dzalu had to almost kill himself to bring her back from the brink of death - she healed, mostly, but there’s some internal scarring and her lungs really never fully recovered. She still can and does fight if she has to, but she keeps an inhaler on her at all times.

3. Scars or painful spots

Random d10 roll: Duserra, which is hella convenient for this one.

Easy answer: she has a number of other scars, but the most notable ones are those on the back of her neck and those on her back. (Picture below the cut down below.)

Both sets came from her years as a slave. Not all slaves end up with scars from shock collars, but if the collar is chronically too tight and/or if it’s used too frequently - both of which were true in Duserra’s case - it can leave permanent marks. The mess of knotted, layered scar tissue on her back is from being whipped and beaten - Duserra got passed from master to master for basically her entire adolescence because despite having been raised in slavery, she never was good at submitting or obeying orders, even more so after her sister was taken away from her and she felt she had nothing left to lose.

She doesn’t take any special effort to hide them, because as far as she’s concerned they’re proof she went through a terrible ordeal and came out stronger, but there’s no pretending there aren’t painful memories tied to them.

4. Best places to kiss on their body

Random d10 roll: Zavi, which is an interesting choice from the dice gods. xD

Zavi doesn’t really have anyone xe’s genuinely bonded with, so the little domestic things like forehead and cheek kisses are pretty much out of the question. (Although I think if xe actually found someone xe could trust enough to genuinely fall in love with, xe would probably melt under being shown that kind of gentle tenderness without expectation of anything in return.) Aside from that, without getting too nsfw on this particular post, I am on the “Sith purebloods’ ridges are generally fairly sensitive,” and Zavi’s got a lot of them on xir chest/sternum and back, so. Take from that what you will ;3

7. Their tickle spots

Random d10 roll: Duserra again.

First off, tickling her purposely is 100% certain to lead to bruising at best, maiming or death at worst. That being said, her sides high up on her ribs and the backs of her thighs are both fairly sensitive and ticklish.
