Thanks for the tag @tealmisthams!
This is from the next instalment in my Crosslo series, which I am slowly working on! Please enjoy :)
She knew she was likely blushing like an idiot, but she otherwise tried to smooth out her appearance, dusting the sand from her hair and her back, and readjusting her shirt where it had ridden up to her ribs. She resolutely ignored the warm, honeyed desire in her core, pretending like she didn’t want to grab Crosshair’s hand and run across the beach in search of another secluded location to finish what they’d started. But she was able to control herself. Probably. Mostly. Maybe.
The rest of the series can be found here on ao3!

Someone posted this to the Star Wars Discord I’m in. I have no idea who the artist is. If anyone knows please let me know.
Rules: In a new post, share the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).
Thanks for the tag @tealmisthams! Since I am so spotty in terms of my activity these days, please have the whole last passage I wrote, instead of simply a last line! Unfortunately this is from a fandom that I know you don't normally live in, but I hope its still good <3
With a frown, he pivoted slightly, facing her at an angle. The sunlight filtering through the windows hit his face, highlighting the angry red mark her palm had left upon his cheek. Eldhira continued to cry. She hated him. She hated herself. Why she’d thought this dangerous scheme could work, she did not know. But his next words bolstered her resolve, sealing his fate and hers. “Dar’eth Shiral… Inquisitor Lavellan.” Eldhira stared him down, using his words and her hurt to lock away her softer feelings. Fen’harel left her without another word, all alone, to ponder how one who’d held her heart so softly could be the one who rent it open so completely, even after all these years. She supposed it didn’t matter. In the end, it would either be his blood or hers staining these marble floors, and the one left alive would be the one who truly lost.

“Good man,” Hunter says, and gives him a firm pat on the shoulder, though his brow is still furrowed in concern.

If everything goes well, I’m gonna compile the different stories and see what kind of chaos us gremlins created!
Shore leave is supposed to be a time of relaxation, distance from the throes of the war, and enjoying the company of your brothers; it is not supposed to be like this.
Ask game 💙
“That Familiar, Yet Unfamiliar Feeling”
3, 11, 15
Aww thank you so much for the ask!
3: What’s your favorite line of narration?
Ooo great question. I honestly couldn’t decide, and without going back and rereading the whole fic, there was one passage that stood out in my mind (sorry, I’m gonna cheat and give you a small passage instead of just one line)
As her scent and her arms enveloped him, Rex’s brain was aware of only one word as he hung on the precipice between the waking world and unconsciousness.
Home. Ahsoka felt like home.
He fell into a dreamless sleep with a smile on his lips.
This is from Chapter 5: The Ones Who Survive. I really like it because I feel like it is a turning point for Rex, where he finally decides to give into his emotions and seek comfort with his friend, yet also it is when he decides to make her his purpose, which helps draw him back from the precipice of his grief.
11: What do you like best about this fic?
I feel like this is maybe the opposite of how my readers feel but I love the slow development and slow burn of the relationship between Rex and Ahsoka. I wanted to show case the little, but still significant moments just as much as some of our more traditional “firsts” (ie. First kiss, I promise it’s on its way!).
I feel like I’ve done a good job building this relationship between the two of them and I’m quite proud of it.
15: What did you learn from writing this fic?
I learned the importance of outlines 😆 I literally went back and added like 7 chapters to the beginning/middle of this fic. The original vision I had for it just wasn’t what I ended up wanting it to be, and tbh I think it woulda been much more effective to outline it first instead of writing and then rewriting things in the way that I did.
I also learned that it is a good thing to have the whole fic written before you post so that you can go back and add scenes/chapters if you need them. I definitely did that in this fic, and I’m glad I waited to have everything pretty much wrapped before I started posting.
Omg this was so adorable! Literally just what I needed today. Thank you for the fic 💕💕
For your valentines drabbles: Echo/Cadence for prompt: Dancing! Thank you 💕💕
Thanks for the request and for the opportunity to write more about these two! 💙
The song that Cadence sings in this drabble is “Better When I’m Dancin’” by Meghan Trainor.
It’s also here on AO3.
Echo was tired. It wasn’t something specific, though. He hadn’t had a particularly difficult workout nor had the 501st’s most recent mission been especially long. He hadn’t lost anyone he was close to recently nor had he performed any tasks that were more mentally taxing than normal. No, it was more of a general tiredness.
He was tired of war, of watching his brothers die—whether or not he was close with them—and the hopelessness of it all. How much longer would it go on? However long that was, would he even live to see the end? It was just one of those days.
But Echo did his best to push his weariness to the back of his mind as he strode through the streets of Coruscant. Cadence had just arrived on the capital planet and it would be their first time seeing each other in over a month. That last thing he wanted was to dampen their reunion with his dismal mindset about a situation that he wouldn’t be able to change.
When he reached the hangar, he stopped to take a breath before approaching her ship, making one more effort to clear his thoughts. Then he made his way over to her freighter, the Atonal , and tapped the entry code into the security panel.
“Echo!”
He had only just made it to the top of the ramp when he heard his name. Then Cadence was running at him and leaping into his arms. He caught her instinctively and held her off the ground as she kissed him fiercely.
“I missed you,” he breathed, after they broke apart.
He was still holding her and she leaned her forehead against his. “Echo, what’s wrong?”
He fought the urge to sigh. Of course she knew and he knew better than to think that she wouldn’t sense his negative emotions immediately.
“It’s nothing specific,” he answered honestly. “Just one of those days when I wish this war would just end already.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
He shook his head.
“Dance with me then,” she said.
“What? Now?” He wasn’t opposed to dancing in general, but now didn’t seem like the best time.
“Yes! Put me down.” He did. “Now, come on.”
She took his hands and led him to the living area of her ship.
“Bettii!”
At the sound of her name, the little BD unit darted in from the direction of the cockpit. She beeped excitedly when she spotted Echo and hurried over to greet him by climbing up onto his shoulder.
“Hey, Bettii,” he said, patting the droid’s head.
Cadence pressed two fingers to the side of Bettii’s head and music began to trickle out of the little droid. The instrumental tune was upbeat and Cadence immediately added her voice.
—
Don’t think about it, just move your body
Listen to the music, sing, oh, ey, oh
—
A small smile crept onto Echo’s face as his partner, still holding his hands, pulled him farther into the center of the room. It really wasn’t fair. She knew hearing her singing voice always made him smile.
Bettii hopped off his shoulder and Cadence continued her vocals, as she began moving their arms in some sort of motion that Echo didn’t quite understand.
“What dance is this?” he asked.
“Don’t worry about it!” she responded, between lyrics.
“But what are the steps?” Echo asked again.
“I have no idea!” She beamed at him and he couldn’t stop his own smile from widening.
—
We can do this together
I bet you feel better when you’re dancin’, yeah, yeah
—
Now they were spinning aimlessly around the ship’s living area, still joined by their hands. At one point, Echo thought to lift one of his arms, so Cadence could twirl underneath it. Then he pulled her to him and kept an arm around her waist as they continued their chaotic dance routine. His partner’s voice remained steady the entire time; he still couldn’t understand how she could sing so flawlessly while moving her body so rapidly.
When the song finally tapered off, Echo halted their steps and pulled her into a series of heated kisses. They were both breathing heavily by the time their lips disconnected and he bent down to lean his forehead against hers.
“Thank you,” he whispered, tucking some of her wavy hair behind her ear.
“I hope it helped,” she said quietly. “For now, at least.”
“It did.” He tilted his head to place another soft kiss on her mouth.
The Love Drabble requests are now closed, but stay tuned for more drabbles that have yet to be posted! 💕
Var lath Vir Suledin....!! And so it did, vhenan -- I just imagine that at some point laughter returns to the two of them as the weight of their lives becomes easier to shoulder together.
Welcome to Rexsoka Week 2025! This is our chance to come together as a community for a week of joyful creativity, celebrating and appreciating Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex as a couple.
And, so you can help us create the best event, we’re asking for your input on the prompts (you can submit prompts AND you'll vote on your favorites)!
If your brain is already whirring with ideas, we LOVE it! For now, save these dates:
October 1-15: Your chance to influence our prompts! Submit as many prompts as you’d like through a form that'll be posted to this blog on October 1.
November 1-15: We’ll compile all the prompt suggestions into categories, and then you’ll have the opportunity to vote for your favorites/the ones that inspire you.
By December 7: The great unveiling of the prompts! Depending on how many prompts we get, we hope to have more than one prompt per day so you can be flexible on which one you select (if there’s one that speaks to you more).
In the meantime, be thinking of prompts to submit them on October 1. We can’t wait to see what you come up with. In the words of Ahsoka herself, we couldn’t ask for better soldiers, or better friends!
