Eddie's never met a Jedi. Of course he hasn't. But he's seen a Jedi, way back during the clone wars, when a battalion had helped after seppies had targeted civilian supply lines.

Eddie's pretty sure they were Kel Dor, what with the breathing apparatus. They'd worn tan and woody robes, long and elegant and flowing as they'd weaved between people, helping them stand or tending to wounds.

What had stood out to Eddie, watching this being that was supposedly a fierce warrior of light, was that they...were normal. They laughed and shrugged and cooed at babies, just like anyone else.

That was until the Jedi had raised their hands and lifted a two-tonne shipping crate into the air without so much as touching it. It frightened Eddie, then. Barely twenty and in the middle of a war his planet didn't want a part of. Beings that could lift and toss objects too heavy to move without machinery like they were playthings are not to be unwary of.

Of course. Eddie had spent a lot of the redistribution of rations effort around clones. They'd seemed...fine? While he is no stranger to speaking his mind he had thought well enough ahead that he probably shouldnt ask if they'd wanted to be there. Figured that might get him kicked off the project and he needed the money.

He listened instead. How they called each other things like Spoon and Duck and Trinity and Loopback as though they were names. Maybe they were. Eddie didn't know and didn't want to ask at the time.

But the Clones had been friendly, if formal. They spoke of their general with fondness and respect and a tinge of awe that felt appropriate to seeing what a Jedi was capable of frequently.

Eddie had liked them.

And then Empire Day came, and the Jedi were declared traitors and the galaxy as he knew it fell apart.

It never made much sense, from what Eddie had seen, for the Clones to kill the Jedi. But nobody asked Eddie, so Eddie didn't say. He did get sucked into the Rebellion though, and heard rumours about mind control and sith and a dozen other things.

So no. Eddie had never met a Jedi. But he'd seen one.

Chrissy had spoken about the rumoured Jedi (or-- not-jedi? She said they often refused the title) that stayed in the small Rebel enclave they've been helping. There were two, apparently. She'd met them, even, during a debrief where she'd been discussing how to better use their resources to help her contacts on the Freedom Trail. They'd barrelled in and spoken in such a way that Chrissy would have swore they were of the same mind, had they not been on opposite ends of the room.

"they were polite." Chrissy said, headtail twitching. "For people who interrupted an important meeting." Eddie'd laughed. "One, the Balosar man, he was very insistent that we delay our plans. The other, I think she was human? It's hard to tell, said the force was calling to them and very insistent about it during meditation."

"seriously? And the generals did it?"

"oh no. They argued for another twenty minutes before the not-Jedi threw up their arms and said, in unison Eddie!, 'The shipment will be lost if you go ahead with it. Better late than never, pricks.' and walked out."

So. On an abstract level, Eddie knew that whenever he entered the hangar bay to run maintenance or completely rebuild a ship, there was a chance for him to meet a former? Jedi.

He'd gotten well acquainted with a group of teenagers there, ones who were friends with the younger brother of the heir apparent to the region they were in and liked the make-believe games he ran in his off hours. But he never really thought about the Jedi that supposedly haunted the base until a woman shouted for Dustin, a rodian who was part of his little sheepies and had literal stars in his eyes when Eddie spoke, to come over. Dustin, the betrayer, jumped up and dashed off without even a word of goodbye.

"okay, so the head mechanic needs this-" she gestures to a small smuggling freighter that had seen far better days "hunk of junk out of the way so they can start work on a couple of x-wings. Steve and I figured we could help her out and get you to work on control of larger objects."

Eddie meandered casually over. Just to watch. Just to...see.

Dustin bounced on his feet. "Really? Woah! Where are we putting it?"

She pointed up, to the open vertical entry doors that created the roof of the hanger. "Steve's up there, he'll make sure if your control slips we don't crush the ship or anyone on the floor once you get it high, and he'll get it out and place it where it's supposed to go. I'll be here with you so you don't hurt yourself."

"I'm not gonna hurt myself."

She patted his head "yeah. Cuz I'm right here making sure."

"uhg. Almost wish I never learned you guys used to be Jedi."

"and who would train you then? No one. You and El would be sad little tooka kits all on your lonesome." She raised her voice to yell at the roof, "you ready Stevie?" and it should not have been loud enough to carry, the tone of an after thought, as though she already knew the answer and the question was just for the spectators, but the figure silhouetted waved.

Then, Dustin took a steadying breath, raised his arms, and closed his eyes. Slowly, the ship in front of him groaned and rose up. A crowd had formed, watching a magic thought extinct.

The woman's eyes darted between Dustin and the freighter, one hand loosely outstretched. It occurred to Eddie that neither wore the tunics and robes of Jedi. Dustin ran around in the mismatched pants and shirts of the Rebels' donations, while the woman wore deep greens. There were no dramatic sleeves that swished when they moved, just slightly loose fabric fastened by a belt and holster. He wonders if she ever wore them.

Dustin struggled for a moment, the ship quivering ten feet up, and the woman tensed slightly before he loosened. Eyes open, she deftly moved her arms up with the ship following, an ease in her movements that Dustin lacked. When she dropped her arms as well, the freighter stayed moving upwards, the other not-Jedi, Steve, likely taking over.

"good work for your first go." She said, draping an arm casually over Dustin's shoulders.

"I barely got it off the ground! Don't patronize me, Robin."

Eddie stepped in "considering I wouldn't even be able to move it sideways an inch, I'd say you did pretty well, Dustin."

The kid spun, just as the light comes shining back through as Steve maneuvered the ship out of the hangar. "Eddie! You saw?"

He scoffed "uh. Yes? Why didn't you tell me this is what you did when Im not around"

The woman-Robin, Eddie supposed, tensed. "It's not particularly safe to boast about it. Especially when it's not clear if you're alone."

Ah. Yeah. That did make sense. "Then why practice in a hangar with two dozen people around?"

She shrugged, and looked up. Eddie followed her sightlines and "wait is he gonna-" just as the figure that must be Steve launched himself off the edge of the open roof and towards them. He landed, he's leather jacket flapping behind him, and stood straight, grinning.

Robin laughed. "You'll give someone a heart attack one of these days, Steve."

"eh. No one's died so far."

Dustin smiled too "I'm getting pretty good at my controlled falls too! Oh, Steve, this is Eddie!"

And then Steve turned his gaze on Eddie, and his brain may have melted.

Steve looked like a spacer, windswept from the fall and leather jacket snug around his shoulders, two different holsters visible, his pants deliciously tight. He ran a hand through his hair, his antennapalps bobbing, and stuck it out for a shake.

"so, you're the great Eddie Munson Dustin hasn't shut up about? Good to meet you."

"mmhmm!" He forced his hand out to jerkily shake Steve's. Jeez. It was as though he'd never seen anyone beautiful before. His best friend was a Twilek dancer (and spy) for star's sake. He needed to get it together. Jedi didn't date, Eddie was pretty sure. Something about the force or power or devotion or something. He wasn't sure. He wasn't a Jedi. He wasn't a not-Jedi either.

Steve only smiled and turned back to Dustin. "So. Next time you need to let the Force flow. You're still trying to shove it, which never works. You direct it, like changing the course of a river."

"but not," Robin added seamlessly, and oh, wow, that was weird than you Chrissy "like a dam. Trying to block it won't give you strength. You're more..."

"using a log to ensure the water finds a different path."

"to go where you want it to go, do what you want it to do, without preventing it's natural flow."

"you guys are so annoying." Dustin huffed. "You know that? You can claim it's your Concordance of Fealty all you want but I know your freaky thing is not normal for it." He groaned. "But sometimes I feel when you guys, like, shape it. Change it. What the kark is that about? If I'm not supposed to dam it, how do I change it and use it like you do?"

Both grinned "We're older. Master the basics, we must, before attempting the advanced, young one." The voice Steve used was croaky, an impression.

Dustin pulled a face. "Don't quote Grandmaster Yoda at me!"

Robin and Steve laughed, leaning on each other. Suddenly, Eddie felt as though he was intruding. Though they hadn't told him to leave, they were sharing about...about a relative, Eddie guessed. Someone near to them and their almost-dead culture.

"I can quote him all I want, I drank enough of his atrocious tea to deserve it!"

"he's dead. You're going to sit here and insult your dead great-grandmaster, the last Grandmaster of the Order?"

Steve got Dustin in a headlock "while we mourn their loss, and acknowledge the pain of their untimely and unjust passing, we celebrate their memory. Yoda, the old frog, is one with the Force, and while I can wish for his guidance, I can also make fun of his vile cookies I had to eat at lineage dinners all I want."

"pretty sure they were barely considered edible for near-humans" Robin adds. She caught Eddie's eye, and winked. "Who's up for actually edible tea? Dustin can practice his fine control and pour for us.

Both Dustin and Steve groaned. "The kid is gonna spill all over us for fun, Bobbin."

Thank you to @whatevertheweather, @messofthejess, @hushed-chorus, @ionlydrinkhotwater, @wellbelesbian, @iamamythologicalcreature, @ivelovedhimthroughworse and @thewholelemon for the tags this week. I've got no students yet (they start next week), so I'm still managing some words on all my fics (we'll see how long that lasts).

So, on with my quest to turn all of my favorite childhood movies into Carry On fics: My Age of Sail AU, based off of the movie, The Blue Lagoon. Have a little bit of eleven year old Baz and Simon:

I spring to my feet and run full tilt into the pond. Simon’s eyes widen comically, and then he’s thrashing inefficiently through the water, trying to escape my wrath.

But that’s his miscalculation. I may be a novice to skin-swimming, but I’m quite accomplished at swimming itself. My father saw to it that I had lessons from an early age. Snow paddles like most of the little kids I saw at Brighton. A whole lot of movement for very little progress.

I catch up to him within seconds, and I’m clamping my hands over his shoulders and shoving him down with all my strength. He knows enough to close his mouth, and bobs up a moment later, blowing out his held breath. Then he laughs and pushes a wave of water towards me with both hands cupped in front of him.

So it’s war then.

From To Heal a Broken Mind (I'm starting the last chapter, whee!)

I see a muscle in his jaw jerk, and then he’s pulling the sunglasses off his face and pinning me with his icy glare. I stiffen. I haven’t seen this Baz in weeks. Have I done so much damage that I’ve set us back to the beginning?

“You, Simon Snow, are not going to do this,” he says, and his voice is hard.

From Westward Son:

Baz tosses another stick in the fire. It’s hard to believe that, within a matter of weeks, we went from sweating our way through each day to shivering under blankets and huddling close to the fire, but it’s our reality now, as evidenced by the foot deep white slush I had to wade through just to get from our wagon to the fire ring. Baz is shivering. He’s always been thin skinned and susceptible to the cold. His Egyptian blood coming through, I think.

Simon’s attention is drawn away from Penny by Baz’s movement, and, without even pausing to think, he stretches his other wing out and wraps it around Baz. Baz sighs after a moment and his shivers cease, and I’m left kind of wishing Simon had a third wing for me.

From Saving Simon Snow

“Baz,” he growls, turning to face me. A faint shiver runs down my spine at his irritated gaze. He’s so beautiful with his blue eyes snapping, his jaw hard and fists clenched. I can’t help it, I’ve always loved riling him up. I’ve wanked to the memory of it sometimes in the shower. “That’s a bloody mansion! How many mansions does your family own?”

I let my lips curl up at him in an almost-sneer. “It’s not a mansion, Snow. Crowley, there are only four bedrooms!”

He glares at me. “And how many rooms that aren’t bedrooms, Baz?” he asks pointedly.

From: Snow Fox

Baz

My parents have been hosting Colonel Tarleton and General Cornwallis all evening, so of course I’m joining in the conversation and listening with everything I have for things of use to Simon. So I’ve got an unfortunate front row seat when one of Tarleton’s men strides in, dragging a bound Pacey Bunce behind him.

The boy is wearing a continental army uniform, the poor fool. Just putting on that blue coat is considered treason.

From the Naked Next (finished by this weekend!)

She giggles, before gulping down a deep breath and forcing her face back into serious lines. “Shep…I mean Love…I mean…”

“You can call me love,” I purr.

I can tell she’s fighting back laughter, but she manages to contain it. “The cure. You’ve got to…please?”

I shake my head as if I can shake the cobwebs out of it. “Right! The cure!”

I let her drag me to sickbay, not least because she’s holding my hand in order to do so.

Tagging for any time in the future you'd like to post something!

I was looking at all the Magoverse stuff recently and remembered I too own several Magolor AUs and wanted to post about them

So here’s some doodles of all my little dudes

Basic info about each of them:

Starting with the one in the corner labeled “normal AU”

This Magolor is from my main AU, which I’ve dubbed Collection of Stars in my files, or CoS for short. Warden and Trailblazer stem off this guy, while Fallen and SD-M are their own things. Out of all the guys, this is the one I’m most normal about and therefore have no idea how to start with telling his story lmao.

If he thinks these 4 are a lot wait until he sees the rest of the Magoverse lmao.

Next is Warden Magolor, from a PLA AU. Of all the guys, Warden probably has my favorite design, excluding CoS. He comes from the idea of “what if instead of Kirby Clash Magolor went to PLA at the end of the Epilogue.” He becomes Electrode’s Warden, and does an ok job before Electrode gets frenzied. From that point he feels really bad for letting it happen and doesn’t let Akari help, instead trying to use his magic to quell the frenzy. What happens next remains to be seen…

Also he does have arms they’re just hidden under his cape so you can’t see them.

Serial Designation M (SD-M) is from a Murder Drones AU where basically RTDL is Murder Drones-ified. He’s on a quest for an ancient Microchip that can turn him into the most powerful Drone alive, and requests the help of SD-K, known as Kirby, and his friends, who help him achieve his goal.

Probably has my least favorite design and gonna be redesigned later. He too also has arms under his cape like Warden

Trailblazer Magolor is from a Honkai Star Rail/Kirby AU where he replaces Caelus/Stelle after the Crown fight because I thought that would be interesting. So the plot goes like the normal Star Rail plot, except instead of Trailblazer having a fire version and physical version, he would always be quantum but still changes paths

I really like his design for some reason lmao.

Last bust not least, Fallen Magolor from a Kirby/Undertale swap AU, where he replaces Flowey/Asriel. The epilogue form is Flowey, his normal form is normal Asriel, Omega Flowey is Soul Magolor, and God of Hyperdeath Asriel is First Phase Crowned Magolor. Other than that it’s literally just undertale but with Kirby characters instead.

So these 5 are my contribution to the thing that’s going on rn except I’m still so new idk if anyone will see these guys. Ty to anyone made it this far through all my weird thoughts I would really appreciate a rb !!
