This is an unfinished draft that I'm clearing out. "why not finish it?" because I'm lazy and ik I'll never do it.

I never thought I'd say this about anything, but AoT needed more filler (not me acting like this is an uncommon take).

Tldr: The 104th barely had on screen interactions with the vets (excluding Hange and Levi), It made most of the vet's deaths boring and made it look like the kids didn't really care about their comrades. It also made their interactions feel too inhuman, robotic, whatever, you get it.

This show might be my hyperfixation, but my memory is flaming horse shit. So if I'm forgetting something that did happen, I apologize.

OG Levi squad: Their deaths were done great (not in the anime, we dont talk about the flashback). In my opinion it was the one of best in the whole series most built up and it was shocking. They were clearly a very strong, (almost) unstoppable team with great unity, motivation and loyalty towards Levi and to the Corp. The 4 of them worked well together and they worked well with Eren and Levi. They built a bond with Eren and Levi. Learned to trust Eren, and Eren learned to depend more on his comrades.

Those kids in the 34th squad(I think that's what it's called): they weren't that fleshed out, but when we did see them interact with Eren in s1 they clearly got to know eachother well, and Eren clearly cared about all of them. But the rest of the 104th (besides armin, he cried at least.) and the traitors? Mikasa and Annie never even mentioned Mina. None of the guys mentioned Thomas. If there were any more characters there I don't remember them.

Milieus: I only remember his name because of AoT tactics. I didn't even remember how or why he died. But according to the wiki he got mentioned again. "Royal Government arc

While speaking to Historia Reiss under the Reiss Chapel, Eren mentions Milieus as being among the victims he and Grisha Jaeger are responsible for killing by stealing the Titan's power." I don't remember him mentioning anyone but wiki is canon (i think)

Miche: Miche's death didn't make me feel anything (until i got obsessed with this shit show), it was shocking and a great introduction for the monkey but complete wasted potential for Miche. He was the 2nd strongest and supposedly the bravest(i dont think the word Gelgar used was brave but im not going back to look), but a talking monkey shivered his timbers. I get it he was shocked but he could have gone out cool like moblit did instead of getting his gear stolen and then torn apart. Or a death that actually proved his strength.

(I dont know how to edit this into to paragraph, but Miche was there on the misson they found Ilse's notebook, he would have known it was posible for a titan to talk. I can't imagine how it would feel to have a 17 meter primate towering over me, but from what I remember he was just shocked because monkey could talk.) For the bitches like me who can't imagine 17 meters, it would be approximately 10.5 Levi's tall. Don't quote me on that, I failed math.)

I don't remember them saying anything about him afterwards either. Like not even Erwin, someone who was in the training corps with him? AoT2 made his death more meaningful then the source material. I know Miche was in the "I'm on a mountain of corpses" scene but like nobody was worried? Levi and Hange, two of the most empathetic characters, not a single word about Miche. Why even give these characters names, heights, weights and birthdays if you just murder them. CONNIE DIDNT EVEN MENTION HIM DISSAPPEARING WHEN HE TALKED TO ERWIN. ik that wasn't the focus of the scene at all but not even a sentence about Miche or his squad.

This post wasn't that serious to being with, here's the even less serious bits I added so I can wrap this the fuck up.

Erwin: he literally just wanted to kill himself, there's no other explanation. Levi should have showed Erwin Queen instead of Elton John.

Ymir: also seems like she just wanted to kill herself. Isayama should have just given her amnesia or something, it would have made more sense than "Paradis might actually have a future, too bad I won't be here to see. It I'm going with twiddle dee and twiddle dumb. See you later wifey." (Direct quote from chapter #32: kiss my ass.)

I just can't imagine loving someone as much as Ymir loved Hisu, and then fucking leaving. Especially when she thought that Paradis had a future, she knew she could help the survey corp, she could live out the rest of her years with the one she loved and help so many more people then the two jack asses.

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN ARMIN'S DEATH(nsrs at all, but 'what if?' yk.): it would have been a fitting end for his character, he would have died proving his worth and making a sacrifice for the betterment of humanity. He could have been spared from isayama's questionable writing after chapter 90. And hopefully Erwin wouldn't have sat around for 4 years not making any plans knowing that the outside world wants to blow up Paradis and think that a conversation is going to fix the entire world hating eldians. (Don't get me wrong, Erens plan was shit too.)

I can't talk about any deaths after this, just adding the last bits gave me a headache, covering the rest would probably give me an brain aneurysm.

The Rescuers

Part One: “Old acquaintances meet again"

Summary: You are a mandalorian rebel friends with Captain Rex so you are well aware of the entire "clone situation" going on. And of course you want to help as much as you can. You then go to Ryloth trying to help the Syndulla's and maybe find your old friend Cody.

Pairing: None. Yet. But will be a Crosshair x Reader.

Gender: There'll be no mentions of gender or pronouns on this part yet. Though further in the story it might have she/they pronouns used.

Word count: 1.6k

Tags: Injury recover, post-clone wars story, rescuing clones/friends, a bit of melancholy?

Warning: Brief description of injury.

Notes: So, I literally dreamed most parts of this story (I know, crazy Star Wars obsession here). I filled up some parts as I was writing of course. And it turned out a bit like a beautiful sad tragic. I might even do a playlist for this fanfic actually. Hope u enjoy it :)

The war, the republic, the jedi all have ended. Literally on the same day. And what it seemed like a fresh start, finally a moment of peace in the chaos turned into nightmares. You weren’t there when it happened, you just heard the news of Obi-Wan saying the jedi order and the republic had fallen and you also heard the now Emperor Palpatine telling everyone that the clone wars has ended and the jedi were traitor, they’ve tried to assassinate him according to well… himself. And now he’s forming this new galactic empire, giving people numbers like the ones clones used to have and killing off any resistance against this new order. Everyone seemed to believe him, you gotta give him that he was a pretty damn’ good liar indeed. But you knew better than that. You are mandalorian after all and were friends with no one less than Duchess Satine and Senator Padmé. You helped them countless times in their diplomatics and you even fought with the jedi and the clones at times. They were good people, yes, the order might have messed up at lot but traitors? Murders? They sure didn’t deserve to die like that and I guess… No one does.

You quickly then joined the rebellion. There you found many of former politics like Senator Organa and even a clone… Captain Rex (or is it Commander now?). You’ve met him once before and he seemed like a good person and looks like he’s really a great man just like you thought. You soon became friends. But sadly, the other clones you knew before like Cody were still with the empire. Though both you and Rex were very determinate to help others like him. And also, obviously, protect your allies against the empire.

Well, as expected trouble begins. There’s been rumors about what’s going in Ryloth with the Syndulla’s and the empire occupation. Worried about them and their people, you go there to help as you can. And if there’s need, you’d call more rebels to help too though you didn’t want to envolve more people yet because you’re afraid of the reaction it could cause ( and what that would cost for ryloth and its people). You also have a tiny tiny hope that maybe just maybe Cody could be there.

Arriving in Ryloth, you discover the Syndulla family have indeed oppose agains the empire occupation and they’ve went into a lot of trouble because of that but apparently a group of mercenaries (?) have already rescued them from the prison they were sent to. One less problem for you to fix I guess. You were glad for them but you still want to spy a little on the empire and see what you could find out after all, the trip couldn’t be for nothing.

You find your way and get to a particular high hill with a great view of one imperial base. You pick up your binoculars and the only person you see in a sort of balcony is a very depressive-looking Crosshair. You remember him from that one time clone force 99 saved your butt from the mess you’ve yourself in. He was… quite unfriendly, let’s say. But he did get the job done and made sure you were okay so you just ignored his behavior. Looking at him now it was looking at a shadow of him.

It made you remember what Rex told you once:

“We clones were all created with this chip thing in our my minds. We were made for the war and the war only but apparently someone thought it would be great if they let us think we've got free will. That we could be anything we wanted to be after the war. So we made friends, some of us found a family with our jedi. They let we hope. Just so we have all of that taken away from us with order 66. The war had ended for everyone except for us. We had our will taken from us, our minds controlled by this chip and we had to follow orders. While we're still there conscious of what we were doing we had to kill the people we fought together the entire war. I remember her face... I'm so glad she didn't see my face. I couldn't bare.”

Thinking about what all the clones been through, you can’t just leave him like this. He did save you once and this was your chance to repay that. Rex keeps saying we can’t save everyone (more to himself than to you) but one person is better than nobody, right? At the time you improvise a plan: neither the empire nor Cross can’t know yet that you’re a rebel. You haven’t done anything yet incriminating (at least not that they were aware of). So you can just jump in there where he was standing and talk to him. Worst case scenario he ignores you. However you sure knew how to annoy him enough that at least he would call you out and when that happens you act. Ok, that you still have to figure out exactly how you would act. Well, half of a plan is better than no plan.

You just jump in behind his back and of course he points his gun at you as expected. But he apparently recognizes who it’s standing in front of him and put his riffle down.

“ Hello there.” You say.

“What do you think you’re doing?” He replies.

“Oh, please, don’t act like you aren’t happy to see me.”

He gives you a faint of a smile. “Don’t flatter yourself.”

You smiled back. “But seriously, what you’re doing here all alone? And why- You finally noticed the burn mark on his now bald head. - are you like this? Doesn’t the empire takes care of its soldiers? Nor your squad? The bad batch, right? That’s what you called yourselves?”

His face closes again. “You have nothing to do with that. I’m-”

“By yourself?” You pause for a moment. “Alright, I get it. You’ve probably been through a lot. We all have. Not sure why you’re like this but it doesn’t matter right now. I just wonder… Don’t you want to get out of all of this?”

Cross pauses for a moment. It seems like he's considering the possibility. “I… I can’t.”

“But…” You then think. You remind yourself of how protective he was that one time you were saved by them. Maybe this instinct was still there, you had to try. You saw a pointed rock close to where you were standing and decided that you would accidentally cut yourself. “Ouch!”

“What’s up?”

“Oh! Nothing! Just might have cut myself here.” You show your hand now with a bit bigger than you expected cut and some blood.

He almost laughs at it. “What a little clumsy one you are, eh?”

His mocking at you, that’s something, right? “Yeah, I guess….”

“Well, let’s go?” He points to the door.

“Go where?”

“Don’t you wanna take care of that, sweetheart?”

“Right, medical bay then?”

“Obviously.” Perfect. He would be right where you needed him to be.

The both of you enter the facility and walk directly to the medical bay. The empire base is pretty much a bland dark and boring military base with some troopers walking around, some commanders (you think) yelling at the soldiers and some droids doing whatever they have to do. You knew only that they were “r - unities” but droids weren’t exactly your area of expertise. However you do notice that the troopers walking around still wear the same clone armor from back the war. And you feel guilty. Because as much as you’d like you won’t be able to help them all. They’ll stay there with their chips on being controlled by the empire…. By the force, that was a hole guilty trip you knew you shouldn’t take. It wasn’t your fault. No, no. They did this. Palpatine and his men were the monsters. Not you. And certainly not these poor clones. One day, yes, one day maybe you could come back and save them?

“Hmmm…. You wanna me to do this?” Cross says. You were so distracted in your thoughts you don’t even realized you were already in the medical bay.

“Oh. You don’t have to.”

“It's fine. I’m used to do this anyway.”

“Ok. Be my guest then?”

“Wow, you’re so funny.” He jokes.

“Whatever. Just do your thing.”

“Give me your hand.”

You give him your hand and he takes it. And to your surprise he’s very gentle while taking care of your wound. He applies some alcohol pads to clean the wound. And as he presses the wound to stop the bleeding you reach for your gun and keep looking at his face. His very concentrated. It’s almost like the rest of the galaxy doesn’t matter. He’s only there at the moment focused on helping you. And you’re trying to plan how you’re gonna knock him out to take his chip off.

“Now I’m gonna get some stuff to make a bandage for ya, ok?” He says and turns his back. Now is you chance. You turn your blaster to stun only and shoots. He falls.

“I’m sorry. But there’s no other way.” You whisper as if he’s actually listening.

It takes some effort (seriously, Crosshair's heavier than he looks) but you manage to put him on one these surgical stretchers. You also have to learn super quick how to use the pad control to see where the chip’s in and take it off. But it’s done. And you wait and wait… For what it seemed like hours though it was only like 15 minutes.

And he wakes up very confused.
