Thanks For The Tag @ladylucksrogue!

Thank you @rexsokaficquotes 🥹 I’m blushing over here!! 💕

Her throat was as dry as the Tatooine desert, and all she could managed to choke out was, “R-Rex?”

Three sets of identical brown eyes snapped to her, meeting her horrified gaze. Rex was the only one who spoke, his voice steady and resolute, despite his current life-threatening predicament.

“Commander. They sent reinforcements?” He inquired matter-o-factly as Kix immediately turned back to the injury, trying to stop the bleeding again. He swore softly under his breath as he did so.

Ahsoka ignored Rex’s question in favor of one of her own, dropping to her knees beside him. Taking his hand she asked, “Rex. What happened to you?”

For the "first time..." prompt - may I ask for "the first time Ahsoka saw Rex blush..." please? 🧡💙

Thank you for the ask my friend! Here is a little drabble for you :)

-------

The first time Ahsoka saw Rex blush was after the war. They were dismantling the old motivator on one of the ships Rex had acquired for his rebel cell, hoping to salvage what parts they could before they replaced it with a new one.

The engine compartment was cramped. They both fit, although just barely, the cramped space forcing them to crouch on their knees, facing one another. Ahsoka was sifting through a few useable parts they’d already removed, while Rex was looking for their next quarry to extract.

“I think we could also save the power cell which is…” Rex trailed off, looking around the cabin until he finally pinpointed his prize. He twisted sharply, awkwardly, trying to move in the tiny space to get to the power cell which Ahsoka identified to be directly behind him, just above his head. She grabbed the spanner and rose onto her knees.

“I’ve got it,” she murmured, shuffling over until she was directly in front of him, leaning over his shoulder to get at the apparatus. Her chest brushed against his shoulder as she miscalculated the distance just slightly, but Rex steadied her with a hand on her hip.

“Thanks,” Ahsoka said absentmindedly, her whole focus already on the power cell.

“Oh, uh, I-“ Rex tried to protest but Ahsoka was already halfway finished with disconnecting the mechanism. “Not a problem,” Rex muttered, slightly muffled from beneath her.

No more than a few seconds later, the power cell popped free and Ahsoka grinned triumphantly.

“There! Got it,” she declared and pulled back, settling back down onto the ground and smiling up at Rex, but she was surprised to find him looking rather bewildered instead. His eyes were wide, and lips slightly parted as if he wanted to say something. But most of all-

“Are you blushing?” Ahsoka accused, desperately trying not to sound too gleeful. Immediately Rex seemed to snap back into himself, vehemently denying it, all the while his blush only darkened.

“Of course not!”

“Really?”

“Really, Ahsoka.”

“Then why does it really look like it,” she teased, raising a hand to tap one of his ruddy cheeks gently. Rex rolled his eyes and swatted her hand away.

“It’s hot in here,” he said lamely, not quite meeting her gaze this time. Ahsoka scoffed.

“No, it really isn’t,” she argued, crossing her arms over her chest and sitting back on her heels.

“Well maybe not for you,” Rex exclaimed. “You’re barely wearing any clothes!”

Ahsoka let out an indignant gasp but when she glanced down at her outfit, she could see he wasn’t entirely wrong. She had on a tiny tank top and some form fitting shorts. Teth was a warm planet, and this was hard work, after all. She hadn’t wanted to overheat. But her point still stood. It really wasn’t that hot in this compartment. But perhaps it was a heat of a different kind touching Rex’s cheeks. The thought made Ahsoka blush a little as well.

“I can, uh, change. If you’d like,” she offered gently, not wanting him to be uncomfortable.

“Absolutely not,” Rex said, perhaps a little too vehemently, because they both burst out laughing at his enthusiasm.

With a smile, Rex clarified, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say… I’m just…”

“I get it,” Ahsoka said, shrugging. They stared at each other for a second before that familiar warm feeling bubbled up into Ahsoka’s chest. She helped it dissipate in the way she normally did, by leaning forward and kissing Rex’s cheek.

That earned her a chuckle and a smile. Now they were both blushing.

“Look, ‘Soka… we should probably talk about this.” He made a motion generally between them. Ahsoka nodded. She had felt it too, for a while now.

“But maybe not here,” Rex continued. “The innards of a ships engine just doesn’t quite seem like the place.”

Ahsoka laughed. “I can’t argue with you there.”

“Over drinks, after this?” Rex suggested.

“You got it,” Ahsoka replied, unable to keep the excited grin off her face. Butterflies erupted in her gut in anticipation that finally, they might move forward with this. Ahsoka hoped that meant she’d have the opportunity to see Rex blush many more times to come.

Unbidden - Update

Sorry guys! I know I promised the last chapter would be up tonight, but life has seen fit to get in the way.

It will be posted tomorrow. Sorry for the delay and thank you all for the love you've given the fic so far <3

Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth,

No grave can hold my body down,

I'll crawl home to her.”

That Familiar, Yet Unfamiliar Feeling - Part 5

Summary: Lost and adrift after the events of Order 66, Ahsoka and Rex struggle to find their place in this new reality. Both need to deal with the loss in their own way; as they help each other in this shared struggle, their relationship blossoms into something neither expected. As the threat of the Empire grows, can such a tentative, new connection be sustained? Or will they be torn apart by their duty to fight?

Fandom: Star Wars The Clone Wars

Pairing: Rexsoka

Rating: M

Chapter Word Count: ~4000

Posting the next chapter a few days ahead of schedule! This chapter is both fluffy and rather angsty, and one of my favorites. Please enjoy, and let me know what you think!

For the ask game, for any of your crosslo stories,

8: Did any real people or events inspire any part of it?

And 13

Thank you so much for the ask! I’m so excited to answer this for Crosslo! 💕

8: Did any real people or events inspire any part of it?

Not that I can think of, actually! Arlo is an oc I wrote that has many characteristics I admire in a person, but I also tried to give her flaws and secrets to make her feel as though she is a real person, and not just some idealistic fairy tale partner for Crosshair. I know we’ve been slow to get there, but I will be revealing some more of her past (specifically related to her scars, and how she defected from the Empire) in my upcoming fic for them.

Another thing I’ve tried to incorporate for Arlo is contrast. For example, she’s a beautiful girl, but she has these horrible, visible scars. She has a sunny personality but carries a sad secret. She came from a wealthy, privileged background only to lose it all over what she thought was right.

Sorry to go into a character analysis but essentially, although she’s not based on a real person, I’ve made many efforts to make Arlo feel real. I hope I’ve succeeded!

13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

Oooo I love this question! I have a Crosshair theme playlist with all of his angsty themes from TBB and a Pabu Happy playlist with all of the happy songs from TBB. I alternate between the two depending on if it’s an angsty fic or a happy fic. Other times I’ll listen to chill music from artists like DPR IAN or eaJ to just vibe while I write.

One of the most recent Crosslo fics about their beach day was actually written while I was sitting on a beach, so I would say setting the tone is very important for me to write!

I will be crying over this forever.

Fivesoka Creation Day

Officially announcing the first ever Fivesoka event! 💙🧡

Guys, I cannot put into words how excited I am and I’m still amazed at how many people responded to the interest check. You guys are the best! Best birthday present ever. 🥹

When: March 15, 2025

What is the event? An opportunity to create new Fivesoka content for ourselves and the fandom! Create something—fic, art, mood board, whatever you want—and submit it on March 15!

How to submit your creation: Post it here on Tumblr or, if it’s on another website like AO3, post the link. Make sure to tag @everythingfivesoka so I can reblog it and include the tag #fivesokacreationevent

Not sure what to create? I will be taking prompt suggestions over the next few days, which I will then compile and post, to help with the inspiration. That being said, create whatever you want! Create what Fivesoka content you haven’t seen yet, but would like to. Create whatever makes you happy!

There are a few RULES…

1 — Please only create content in which Ahsoka is portrayed as an adult. Whether you want to age her up during TCW or have your setting be after TCW or an AU, up to you!

2 — Aside from that, anything goes, as long as it is Fivesoka-centric. Just make sure to tag sensitive content accordingly. (Smut/NSFW, trigger warnings, character deaths, etc.) If you’re not sure if you should tag something, tag it anyway, just to be safe! Also, please put NSFW content under a cut here on Tumblr.

3 — Creations that will NOT be accepted: AI or plagiarized work. Any creations depicting hate or harassment of any kind. Creations in which either character is underage.

4 — Please be kind and considerate! The Fivesoka community is very small, so let’s support each other as much as possible!

Since many of us are in different parts of the world, the official time for the event will be rather loose. Just try to post on March 15, whenever that is for you! And if you post later, I’ll still reblog. 😊

Feel free to message me either here on @everythingfivesoka or on my @tealmisthams account with any questions!

Also, let me know if you’d like to be tagged in future posts related to this event!

Thanks, you guys. I’m so excited!

~ Misty 💙🧡
