Online shopping time 🛒 Echo realized that an extra hand can come in handy for disguise 😅 and if Crosshair’s getting one anyways and they are on sale… well why not 😎
"Twenty minutes later he’d made it back to his room with no memory of the journey and the taste of vomit stuck in the back of his throat.
No one asked what he’d done - it was an unspoken rule, never to ask - but Wrecker opened his arms and let Crosshair disappear into them without a word."

About a year or so ago I asked for fanfic submissions to be turned into comics! And this was one of them! I had actually started drawing this a year ago, but just now got around to finishing it!
It's a pretty heavy fic, but its short and really well written! Id suggest checking it out if your in angsty mood!
What if Tech was a Professional Race Speeder driver???? Like he retired then became a Professional NasSpeeder driver????
✨ First Times ✨
To spark some positive fandom enthusiasm, I thought I'd try creating a ~fun little ask prompt~, so here goes!
This can be serious ("the first time character A confided something in character B" / "the first time character B thought about kissing character A" / "the first time they dealt with loss together") or entirely silly ("the first time character A heard character B snoring" / "the first time character A's uniform was horribly out of place in front of character B" / "the first time they laughed so hard they cried together").
I encourage all writers and non-writers alike to participate however they wish! This isn't about creating mesmerizing prose, but about sharing in each others' love of the Characters™.

OMG thank you so much for this <3 It really made my day!
Thank YOU for being my friend! I have been so grateful to have someone to enjoy the fanfic world with this last year, and reading all of your wonderful fics are inspiring. You are also a fantastic writer, and I can't want to read whatever you write next. I am so grateful for our friendship! Happy Valentine's Day to you as well my dear friend <3

My dearest LadyAnidala,
YES I AM GOING TO GET SENTIMENTAL. I LOVE YOU! Also I can't believe we only met A YEAR AGO?!! I feel like I've known you forever (I mean our first Facetime call was 5 hours long so no wonder why)
Thank you so much for your friendship, your voice messages, your glorious TBB drawing, late night advice (or early morning, depending on which time zone we're looking at), support, and for all the fun we've had. You were my first friend I made in this fandom and I am so blessed that what turned out to be a simple email has blossomed into a deep friendship that includes fandom but grown beyond that too.
Now for the truly sentimental part... I have to thank you for being such an inspiration to me. The way you are so selfless and sacrifice your time for others is truly admirable and the most beautiful example of what love is. And of course, I have to talk about your writing. You are not just an incredibly talented, hilarious, and very emotive writer, but you are also so encouraging and a helpful critic. The fact that you send VIDEO REACTIONS is worth its figurative weight in gold and then some.
So my dear LadyAnidala, enjoy some Crosshair, and I hope you know how loved you are and what a privilege it is to call you my friend!
Always & forever,
aknightreaderr AKA your number 1 fan AKA irl's hunter wife with 2 kids xo

Everybody watch out ⚠️
Arlo
color: Green -> a color often associated with spring, life and new beginnings, Arlo embodies all of these qualities. She is vibrant and full of feeling, and her endless optimism allows her to inspire new beginnings in even the most desolate of beings flower: Spring Beauty -> symbolizes cheerfulness, youthful gladness, which is Arlo's general state of being animal: Dove -> this ties into the role she plays in Crosshair's life. Just as the dove is a symbol of peace, freedom and love, Arlo is Crosshair's love, helped him make peace with the scars of his past, and ultimately find his freedom scent: Freesia -> a light, cheerful scent, often associated with springtime song: imperfect for you by Ariana Grande -> this song is the Crosslo theme. Neither is the perfect partner, but they are exactly what the other needs, and are better together because of it feeling: warmth -> a lot of the Crosslo series focusses on Crosshair and Arlo's desire to feel safe and a sense of belonging, and this is often described as the feeling of 'warmth', which Arlo embodies for Crosshair.
This was a fun way to share more about Arlo with you all! For those who don't know her, she is my oc love interest for Crosshair in my Crosslo series, Cross My Heart and Help Me Heal . Please check it out if you want to read their story!

I’m very interested in hearing more about “Five times Crosshair says I love you, and the one time he didn't.” 👀
Also, “poor sad Crosshair fic” oh no 🥺
Thank you for the ask! <3
The first one is a little idea I had when coming up with head canons/day dreaming some scenarios for my Crosslo fics post TBB S3. It's not all Crosslo tho (and not all of the chapters will be post S3). I was planning to have one chapter for each person in the batch and my oc, Arlo (ie. 6 chapters total, one with each of Hunter, Wrecker, Echo, Tech, Omega and Arlo). Five of these chapters will be Crosshair (often begrudgingly) telling his brother/sister/partner that he loves them, and one chapter will be a time where he couldn't/didn't say it (but probably really should have). I'll let you guess who he doesn't say I love you too (hint: it's definitely not who you think it would be).
Yeah my "poor sad Cross fic" is one we've chatted about before. Cross is a poor traumatized boy, and unfortunately I've been very kind to him in the last few fics of my Crosslo series. After the first date fic, there are less happy times coming Crosshair's way :(
Just an aspiring writer and Star Wars lover 🧡 You can find me as Snips2112 on ao3 as well!
