Which character ends up the most bruised (physically and/or emotionally)? Since this is based in almost unrecognizable part on the Sith Warrior story, both Xhareen and Quinn take an emotional beating because, ya know, itās THAT romance story. Quinn is also not immune to bruising his own self, lol.Ā
Which character is the crabbiest/complains the most? Pierce is kinda grumpy, Quinn quibbles a bit, although less than in canon because this time, heās the team leader. He might have some opinions about Hoth, though. He mopes quietly in his dark office a lot with the liquor, though.Ā
THANKS FOR THE ASK!Ā
Original list isĀ here. Iāve done approachable, strongest emotionally, quietest, most talkative, secrets, comic relief, most bruised and crabbiest. Iāll keep taking the ones I havenāt done yet. :-)

Oh my god what a shitty thing to say to anyone, let alone your child. I'm so sorry.
-hugs- @riajade01
Like itād be one thing if I had a decently close relationship with my mum we could joke like that but we donāt (Even if I would probably make that sort of joke about myself)
She also freaked out a while back when she found out Iād done short term counselling at uni and basically acted as if it was totally her fault that Iād gone to do that
1: Summarize your WIP in 10 words or less. 2: Post a line from your WIP with no context. 13: Your characters are stranded on a deserted island. What happens? For your politics thing? Unless 'Chaos' is still a WIP then I'm SUUUUPER curious. :)
1: Summarize your WIP in 10 words or less.
Way too much pride, a little prejudice, smitten idiots
2: Post a line from your WIP with no context.
āYeah, sir, youāre supposed to be fucking her,not the situation.ā
13: Your characters are stranded on a deserted island. What happens?
When it becomes obvious that Max isnāt calling anyone, Krys is going to point out the resources he has at his disposal. He will then point out that he does endeavor to not flaunt such things in front of her, and perhaps it will be better if they simply wait for people to notice theyāre gone. Stony silence ensues, until Max points out theyāre on a desertedĀ island and there are much better uses of their time than sitting on the beach being mad. He does eventually call his sister, but Krys is mad about her wicked sunburn for at least a week.Ā
Full-body, full colors commission for the sweet @riajade01! Thank you so much for commissioning me, I had so much fun with this piece! The warm lighting was a joy to work with! <3
@riajade01 replied to your post āOTP Song Memeā
I feel so silly for not realizing that "Open Arms" was originally (?) by Journey. The Mariah Carey cover is on my Malavai & Mara playlist. xD
I honestly donāt even remember how I stumbled on it (probably a recommended video after listening to another Journey song) but I didnāt even know Maria Carey had a cover of it! I just heard the original and thoughtĀ āOMG THIS IS PERFECT.ā

There are so many reasons I regret taking Mara through Kotfe before I knew any better but Quinn's LACK OF NAME is one that endures.
tbh this is why i just pulled him out of the impatience console. nothing after oricon is set in stone for my mainverse anyway so w/e iam an adult and i do what i want
āHow dare you steal my heart like that? I should be locking you up, but Iām kind of inclined to let you keep it.ā For Vasili and Quinn.
Flirty prompts!
Itās been a long, dull day in the damp heat of Kaas Cityāthe Cart'ar is grounded for a standard week for routine maintenance, and Vasili is stuck with no assignment from his Master. The moment they made planetfall, he made sure his crew knew they were under no obligation to remain with the ship, and that they were free to do whatever they pleased, so long as they donāt break any laws or come back with any pets.
Pierce left to reconnect with old comrades, Vette took Jaesa to explore ruins on the edges of the city proper, and Malavaiā¦ Vasili isnāt entirely sure where Malavai went. His best guess is that heās gone to visit family in Kaas City, but heād been remarkably vague when Vasili asked. Not wanting to pry despite how the curiosity ate at him, Vasili left the matter there; given that this is Malavai, heāll explain himself at his own pace. Hopefully.
Vasili, for his part, spends most of his time on the ship, tuning his sabers andāmore importantlyāmaking sure he doesnāt miss any unexpected calls from Darth Baras. (None come. A dutiful apprentice wouldnāt be relieved at the silence, he thinks; certainly they wouldnāt be kept awake at night in fear that their master might jerk their chain across the galaxy again. A dutiful apprentice, a good Sith student, would simply be happy to serve. But then, when has he ever been either of those things?)
His brief hours away from the ship are spent in the company of other up-and-coming apprenticesānetworking, as little as he wants to be doing so. While his presence in the Sith Sanctum always turns a few heads, no one remarks on it aloud, and the others seem to at least tolerate him, which is about as much as he can hope for. Vasili forces himself to be happy with that so he can return to the ship and decompress.Ā
Vasili returns from one such outing two days before the Cart'ar is due to be spaceworthy again, an hour after nightfall. Heās tired from talking to other Sith and from walking across most of the city center, heās overheated and damp from the heat and rain, and he knows he must look a right mess.
So when he steps onto the bridge to see Malavai sitting by the holoterminal, itās equal parts startling and distressing. He wasnāt supposed to be back this early, and he certainly wasnāt meant to see Vasili so disheveled when he doesnāt even have the excuse of any sort of battle.Ā
āCh'acināt,ā Vasili blurts out, not even thinking to check if the rest of the crew have also come back early. āWhat are you doing back already? I thought you were going to enjoy your time off.ā
Malavai quickly turns his head before standing, bowing at the waist out of equal parts respect and habit. āI was able to finish all of my errands before we left the planet,ā he says, as if that explains everything perfectly.
At least that confirms no one else has come back earlyāif the others were in earshot, he wouldnāt have neglected his usual my lord. Vasili lets himself relax, walking around the small row of seats and sitting down next to where Malavai had been before. After a momentās hesitation, Malavai follows suit, settling back down a handās breadth away.
Vasili closes the distance himself, leaning against Malavaiās shoulder and shutting his eyes. āYou know, if you donāt let yourself have an actual vacation one of these days, I may have to order you to enjoy a little free time,ā he says with a small smile.
Malavai raises his arm, folding it around Vasiliās shoulder; Vasili obligingly nestles himself just a little bit closer, his loverās gentle warmth a pleasant contrast against the oppressive, humid heat of the jungle outside. āI never said I didnāt take some time for myself,ā Malavai says, a hint of a smile in his voice. āAs a matter of fact, Iāve only just come back from the Trade Market.ā Thereās a faint rustling, and Malavai jostles Vasili slightly with whatever movement heās making.
Confused, Vasili sits up a bit, looking at his lover to see what in the worlds heās doing. Malavai seems to have just pulled something out of one of his belt boxesāa small, somewhat rounded object, wrapped in white cloth. He holds it out to Vasili, smiling.
Vasili looks at the object for a moment before taking it, waiting for Malavaiās nod of approval before unwrapping it. In the folds of white fabric rests a small, bright red gemstone, almost perfectly smooth. Breath caught in his throat, Vasili holds it up above his eyes, mesmerized by how it catches the light.
āI recall you mentioning an interest in geology,ā Malavai says. āWhile it doesnāt have any special properties as far as Iām aware, if I might be permitted a momentās sentimentalityā¦ the color rather reminded me of your eyes.ā
Vasiliās heart stammers for a moment at that, and he pulls his gaze away from the stone to look at Malavai. He bites his lip for a moment, trying not to smile too much. āYou know,ā he says, āI distinctly remember telling you and the rest of the crew that you werenāt to break any laws.ā
Malavai falters, frowning. āMy lord, I assure you, I paid for this with my own fundsāā
Vasili grins then, reaching out with his free hand to put a finger to Malavaiās lips. āHow dare you steal my heart like that?ā he asks.
The frown immediately melts into affectionate exasperation. Malavai shakes his head and takes hold of Vasiliās wrist to kiss the palm of his hand.
āI should be locking you up,ā Vasili continues, leaning forward to catch Malavaiās lips with his own, ābut Iām kind of inclined to let you keep it.ā
"You are incorrigible, my love,ā Malavai murmurs, gently pushing Vasili until his back is against the seat. Vasili can feel him smiling.Ā
āYou love it, donāt lie,ā Vasili says with a grin.Ā
Malavai draws back, hovering above Vasili with eyebrows raised. Thereās still the hint of a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth, and it takes an unreasonable amount of self-restraint for Vasili not to push himself up and kiss it again. āThere are moments,ā he says dryly. āI think, however, that a reprimand might be in order for putting my heart under such strain just now.ā
A faint shiver darts down Vasiliās back. āIām all ears, Captain.ā
For Xhareen and Quinn in any AU you like: Trepverter - a witty response or comeback you think of only after it's too late to use
Sorry this took so long, surprising given my lifelong devotion to smart-assery! Although yeah, I do this all the time. Set in the main Xhareen!Quinn verse on Alderaan, before the events of The Spaces In Between, their main story.Ā
Trepverter:Ā a wittyresponse or comeback you think of only after itās too late to use.Ā
List is here, feel free to keep sending!Ā
Previous: Verklempt, is here.Ā Ā
Quinn stormed into the small āhealth roomā off the backkitchens in the west wing of House Thul. Xhareen was sitting on an exam table,joking with the medics as they brought her in. He had sent her back on the quickest shuttle available, and returned on his speeder by himself. He quickly dismissed the medics andtook over examining Xhareenās arm.
āMy lord, you must be more careful. You cannot jeopardizeyour mission so foolishly,ā he said, unwrapping the field dressing heād appliedafter watch in horror as she got sliced with a vibroknife.
āCalm down, Quinn. Itās just a scratch,ā she shot back,although she did wince when the bandage was removed. It was far worse than whather flippant remark would indicate.
He was not pleased. Not with her attitude, nor with her blatantdisregard of his suggestions as they faced at least 15 ruffians from HouseUlgo. She had ignored his assessment of the situation, and his suggestion thatthey sneak around to the south. Without warning him, she jumped and attackedthem all, head on.
āWell, at least you didnāt say āitās just a flesh woundā,āhe snapped at her.
āWhat? That would be worse.ā
Was she trying to get under his skin? Was it because he hadsaid, after their ill-advised but much-enjoyed kiss last night, that he didnātthink a relationship between them was wise?
āThat would be more flippant and thatās what I have tried toconvince you is dangerous,ā he said. āYou must be more serious, my lord.Whether itās in conversation or in battle.ā
Did she really not get it? He thought she was gettingbetter, more responsible, more like the leader she clearly was being groomed tobe.
She squirmed as he gave her a kolto injection.
āWhatās up with the mylord bit?ā she retaliated. āI thought we were past that and youād figuredout my name by now. Didnāt realize you went around kissing strangers, Captain.ā
So, she was thinking about the kiss, too. His anger and frustrationwaned a bit; he truly did not want to hurt his remarkable Sith. But he wantedher to be careful. The thought of losing her ā¦
āI say it when Iām trying not to be cross. Iām remindingmyself how serious this is.ā
āHow serious this is,my lord,ā she said, in a fairly good imitation of his voice. Ā
He threw down the empty kolto unit on the equipment stand. āIam doing my job, Xhareen. Is mockery really necessary?āĀ
She looked up at him with slackened cheeks and a slight,unintentional pout. He had started this verbal sortie and she had just admitteddefeat. That should have improved his mood, but it did not.
āIām sorry, Quinn. I honestly thought I could take them on.I have before.ā
She wasnāt trying to egg him on, but he was still irked. Hefinished bandaging her up in silence.
When he was done, he asked, āIs there anything else? If not,then I take my leave and hope that you at least take my advice and get somerest.ā
He was at the door when she said, softly, āI guess I just thought I can be a littleĀ reckless, knowing I have the fleetās best medic by my side.ā
It was a compliment, a peace offering, but all he could dowas nod once and leave.
As he walked down the hall, he started to turn back andinform her that if she took his entirejob more seriously, she wouldnāt need a great medic.
