Omg This Was So Adorable! Literally Just What I Needed Today. Thank You For The Fic đź’•đź’•
Omg this was so adorable! Literally just what I needed today. Thank you for the fic đź’•đź’•
For your valentines drabbles: Echo/Cadence for prompt: Dancing! Thank you đź’•đź’•
Thanks for the request and for the opportunity to write more about these two! đź’™
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! đź’•

This is my first multichapter fic, I'm so excited to share with everyone! Prologue and Chapter 1 are up, and updates will be once a week on Monday or Tuesday. Hope y'all enjoy!
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 :(
Canon x OC Fanfic Writers are criminally underappreciated.
I refuse to believe that so many amazing stories with incredibly crafted original characters have barely any interaction, terribly lacking in comparison to x reader fics. I love a good x reader fic, smut or not, but so often I see authors on here whose x reader stories get traction while their larger, fleshed-out canon x oc stories aren't read or liked, much less reblogged or interacted with. It's sad to think that these writers spend so much time working on these stories because they are so complex. Crafting characters and full storylines to span tens of thousands of words and multiple chapters...they're out there writing novels and their work so often gets ignored because it's not a quick read and/or the reader won't explicitly see themselves reflected in the story. I always stand behind x reader fanfiction and love me some great x reader smut.
But can we please stop to think that there is so much more to reading fanfiction? With some of these stories, you could get a whole retelling of your favorite show with another character in the board to change the game. You could get parts of your favorite show you'd never see on screen, but they're being brought to life by a writer who loves it so much they're willing to pour their heart out into a story. Can we please stop for a moment and think of how magical these stories are?
Please, go read some Canon x OC fanfiction. Go give these stories love. The stories and their writers deserve all the love. Reblog their stories. Engage. Comment. Support the writers blessing our fandom with brilliant work.

First/Last Line Challenge
Thanks for the tag @tealmisthams!
I will also do both! Here is the first and last line I wrote today for the next instalment of my Crosslo series!
The first line:
Arlo merely leaned over and kissed his cheek, communicating her answer through a small wink.
The last line:
“I’m yours,” he rasped, and then kissed her, moving his lips slowly and assuredly against hers.
