7 mins in heaven with ajax omg thank youu
Short but sweet. Keep sending requests for my birthday blurb spree!!
my taglists are here + you can requests here at any time
Tumblr media
It was a dumb game, but the lot of you all had a little too much of Yoko's non-virgin mojitos.
You suspected Enid of having tricked the bottle to make it land on Ajax, but you were too happy to have seven minutes alone with him to fight her on the matter. She even closed the door herself and told you to ‘have fun’ with a big wink. Subtlety was not her forte.
‘’So…we’re in a closet,’’ Ajax awkwardly stated, as if you hadn’t been shoved in it by your friend a few seconds ago.
You nodded in the same awkward fashion.
‘’We don’t have to do anything you don't wanna do. I know it’s part of the game — kissing —, but I won’t tell the others if we don’t—’’
You knew he was trying to be sweet by letting you know he would not pressure you into kissing him, but you had enough of his kindness. You wanted Ajax to grab your face and smash your lips together and push you against a wall while kissing. Okay, maybe not that aggressively.
You tried to contain your frustration, but the alcohol made it spill out. ‘’I like you, Ajax!’’ you blurted out, your voice bouncing on the walls of the small closet. ‘’I’ve been flirting and hinting and trying to get you to ask me out for weeks, but you don’t seem to pick up on the hints and I can’t do this anymore. I’ve tried to sit next to you in class and ask a bunch of questions about every academic subjects even though I already knew all the answers, I became a member of the Nightshades, waited for you to get to the cafeteria to get my meals just so we could stand together in the canteen queue and Enid did me a solid tonight by tricking the game so we would get in the closet together; all in hopes that you would ask me on a fucking date.’’ You were out of breath by the end of your sentence — and out of patience.
Your sudden outburst took Ajax by surprise, but the message did pass.
‘’Oh. I— Oh!’’ He rubbed the back of his neck, smiling shyly. ‘’I didn't notice. Sorry. Gorgons are taught not to engage. I don't wanna accidentally stone someone. Especially you.’’ His face flushed a little, partly from the alcohol.
‘’Me?’’ You stepped forward, playing with the drawstrings of his zip-up jacket. ‘’I'm not afraid of being stoned by you.’’
‘’You aren’t?’’ His brown eyes flicked down to yours.
You shook your head. ‘’It’s just temporary.’’
A smile curled on Ajax’s lips and you closed the space between your mouths.

24, Al and Charles please
Hippolyta would probably know what the beast was called.
Atom didn’t.
What he did know was that a swipe of its claws had sent Doctor Mid-Nite crashing into the ground. Left deep tears that went through his vest and into his skin.
There was a growing pool of blood.
No time to think about that now. Because the beast looked like it was heading in Doctor Mid-Nite’s direction to finish the job.
The beast was stronger than the doctor. Tougher. In better shape.
And Doctor Mid-Nite didn’t look like he would be putting up much of a fight anytime soon.
What the beast didn’t have was atomic strength. Or the sheer desperation that caused Atom to face it head on.
It also couldn’t think to avoid an Amazon queen piercing its side with a sword while Atom wrestled it into stillness.
As its entrails fell from the wound, the fight finally ended. Atom slowly let go in case it managed a dying blow.
Hippolyta swung her sword and decapitated the beast.
A gruesome end. But based on the damage it had caused Atom couldn’t mind.
It was just as well that that was the end of the fighting. Someone needed to put pressure to Doctor Mid-Nite’s wounds. Try to keep him from bleeding out before help could arrive.
Queen Hippolyta set to that while Atom sent out a distress signal to the rest of the JSA. The other Doctor Mid-Nite, along with Doctor Midnight, would be there soon.
Atom rarely thought much about the other doctors. Or at least not more than any teammate he didn’t know well. He had a clear favorite with his doctor. But he couldn’t help but be glad for the moment that Charles’ students had decided to follow in his footsteps.
Not that he spared more than a second to that. After he confirmed the doctors were on the way he kneeled opposite to Hippolyta. He took Charles’ hand into his.
“Come on, Doc, wake up.” Atom looked at Charles’s chest to confirm its rise and fall. That it wasn’t already too late.
It felt like too long before the other doctors arrived. Al was left with nothing to do but watch Charles’ breaths get shallower despite Hippolyta’s efforts.
But the doctors eventually did arrive. Pieter taking Hippolyta’s place applying pressure while Beth started treating the injuries.
Pieter looked up from Charles at Al. “Atom, you need to let go.”
Al hadn’t expected himself to be addressed. He just knew he didn’t want to leave. “What?”
“You need to let go of his hand so we can move him.” Pieter sounded impatient.
But Al hadn’t even realized he was holding Charles’ hand. He looked down at it, at Charles’ glove contrasting with his own bare skin, and let go startled.
He got out of the way when Beth moved in his direction. She had applied some temporary bandages. But they would need to be replaced quickly once they got back to the Brownstone.
Still, for the moment the bleeding was stopped.
Al relaxed slightly. Then he noticed Pieter giving him a considering look.
He raised at eyebrow at the doctor. He was pretty sure it wasn't visible through his mask. But some people could seem to pick up on it.
Apparently Pieter was one of them. Pieter took it as his cue to ask Al, or rather inform Al of what he had already decided, “You are going to have to move Charles. You should be able to do it the smoothest of us.”
“Sure.” Al nodded. He couldn’t disagree. Hippolyta had left to see how the others were doing once she wasn’t needed to apply pressure. Out of the doctors and Al, Al was the strongest.
He had to admit, to himself if nobody else, that he was glad he could do something to help.
As he picked Charles up, Al finally felt the adrenaline start to ease.
Everything was being taken care of.
He still didn’t fully relax until a few hours after the doctors finished in the Brownstone, when Charles squeezed his hand back as he woke up.
That time Al had been aware of holding it at least.

Ships ask- 1, 21, 27, 34, and 44, with the ship of your choice, if you could please?
I am always on some shit so you've got three ships! I've also realized I still answer questions by restating the questions sometimes so that's an old academic habit still hanging on.
The Ships
Claire Redfield x Nico Bright (Brightfield) from Resident Evil
Pre Vizsla x Solus Ve'tra (PreSolus) from Star Wars
Libertus Ostium x Feronia "Fe" Cataegis (Liberfe) from Final Fantasy XV
-
1. Describe their first date.
Brightfield: It was really cute and at an arcade bar. Claire’s obviously been on many dates but Nico really hasn’t. Yes, she had a relationship with Javi in high school that looked traditional romantic but was queer-platonic instead. This is her first big Official Romantic Date. It doesn’t matter that she knows Claire because this is Different. So, the location is somewhere they can keep moving around but also provides time to talk. Yes, Nico wins Claire a stuffed animal because she’s a gentleman like that. Yes, Claire helped Nico, age 19, get a very real Fake ID (one of many) so she could buy drinks on her own.
PreSolus: They actually don’t have a first date as much as they had a many, many things happen. It was also a little bit
What happened was they met because Solus was his temporary bodyguard during a mission to figure out why Death Watch attacked a Republic Cruiser. There was a hypothetical one night stand because everyone was still buying each other's covers. He’s a reformed Governor of Concordia, she’s a devout Jedi Padawan, and this fantastic, highly compatible hooking up is happening once. Then they had a wonderful fight near the mines on Concordia where they very much tried to kill each other (and came away with trophies). He sent assassins to Coruscant after Satine, she sent back a single living one and killed the rest, and also taunted him through the comm borrowed from a dead assassin. Then she tosses away her status as a Padawan and citizen of the Republic, fucks over some Jedi information networks on Nar Shadaa, and then joins Death Watch because being a True Mandalorian got her fucked over during the Civil War.
LiberFe: In terms of first dates, it was overall pretty standard. They got dinner at a Galahdian place then went to some little glorified art house theater to see a movie. The only reason for the movie was it was in Galahdian and they love hearing their native tongue. Afterward, there was probably drinks because Nyx is demanding they meet up. They’ve already known each other a while but both put out on the first date anyway. He has a small one bedroom apartment they end up crashing at.
21. Do they enjoy domestic life?
Brightfield: They’ve both lived hard, even if rewarding, lives so the little domestic things are still magical to them. Grocery shopping, washing the cars, folding laundry, etc. together means so much because it means they’re both in the same space, at the same time, and healthy. Claire’s even learning to cook out of it because she can’t but Nico can. In return, Nico gets to watch Claire be the Sexy Mechanic while working on their motorcycles.
PreSolus: They honestly do, which feels like it's the opposite of how they carry themselves. He’s this badass Manda’lor, heads Death Watch, and is focused on reclaiming Mandalore. She’s a savvy politician, assassin, and otherwise swiss army knife of a Nite Owl. But, they both really enjoy the simple things and spending time with each other doing the little things. When they have their children (twins Tarre and Jila) they share the responsibility of caring for them, while carrying on their duties to Death Watch, and adore it. Honestly, one of Solus' biggest dreams has always been to be a mother. She wants that Domestic Life.
Liberfe: They really do but it becomes most readily apparent after the Dawn. They move back to Galahd with the other half of their polycule (Nyx and Lunafreya) to live wonderfully simple lives. Getting to take in all of the little things each day with partners tastes so much sweeter with returned sunlight. Hanging clothes out to line dry, walking through real forests, and even cooking is stunning now. They all work in Their Bar but Fe and Lunafreya still work part time as medics.
27. How do they say “I love you” non-verbally?
Brightfield: There’s tons and tons of little ways. Claire makes Nico a cup of coffee, checks her for injuries when she gets back from jobs, and takes care of her hair; her hair is 3A curls so there’s a Routine. While Nico helps Claire touch up the color to her roots, baked her brownies with extra walnuts and lets her have more of the edge pieces, and makes her wind down tea in her favorite mug. It’s taking each other to doctor’s appointments when injured or showing up with favorite foods for comfort. Sharing clothes so they’re always together in some way. Even listening to each other talk about their passions at length. Nico almost cried when Claire was eagerly listening to her talk about plants instead of getting bored.
PreSolus: She always makes sure she checks over his kom’rk, even if there’s other mechanics. It’s something she has to be sure of because she needs him back. He got her a strill to protect her and keep her company while he’s gone. She tends to his injuries both traditional ways and with her knowledge of Force Healing. He found two kyber crystals for her to forge her new lightsabers. Then it’s making cups of caf or soundboarding ideas or any number of little things that’s always “I love you” in subtle words.
Liberfe: Fe suffered a traumatic brain injury as a toddler (she nearly drowned) and it crops up in a couple of different ways; along with whatever her biological family had going on. One of the ways it shows up is selective mutism. He learned to sign for her and made sure their Final Home had an open concept so everyone could see each other and communicate with her. She also tends to decompress from sensory overloads by watching light projectors on the ceiling be it fish, galaxies, etc. He kept one at his apartment in Insomnia for her and they have a real fish tank in Galahd to supplement. She knows he loves cooking so she collects fresh herbs and spices for him. It's something she’s learned to handle for her folk medicines but still a part is reserved for him. She’ll also sort, prep, and label them for him. If he’s had a hard day she draws a bath that’s peak luxury with bath salts, candles, etc. so he can fully unwind. When he wants to think out loud she's always there to listen even if it may not seem like she's listening to an outsider.
34. Do they have any inside jokes?
Brightfield: They’re full of inside jokes that range from known to their friends group/polycule (it’s almost a circle) to just the two of them. Claire’s cooking mishaps or Nico’s plant excursions rank toward the top.
PreSolus: Yes. Solus doesn’t drop that she never got a first date. Nor will she ever let it go that his ancestor outsourced Darksaber to her through the Force because Clan and House Vizsla was such a Hot Mess. She’s a morosexual and he repeatedly reminds her of it.
Liberfe: They’re not really inside jokes as much as a lot of Insomnians just can’t understand them. Someone says something in Galahdian or she’ll sign something rude/funny/etc. that he playfully refuses to translate. Their group of friends know what’s happening though.
44. Do they cuddle often? Why or why not?
Brightfield: They cuddle all of the time. Claire’s very physically affectionate person and Nico spent one and half decades extraordinarily touch starved. It worked out so, so well that they love being clued to each other.
PreSolus: I do think they cuddle fairly frequently due to how friendly Mandalorians are with their own clans/groups/etc along with their personalities. Pre doesn’t strike me as someone who’s really dated beyond Bo-Katan (who gets folded into this relationship as their third) so having the chance to just hold someone romantically is nice. Meanwhile, Solus is an only child but spends large swaths of her time surrounded by others, be it fellow Mandalorians or her friends in the Order. She seeks out physical comfort. They also just don’t get to spend as much time together because their jobs pull them in separate ways.
Liberfe: Life is too short, especially for a Kingsglaive, to not spend a lot of time together. She’s perpetually chilly due to her Messenger of Shiva Status so cuddling her is a free cool down. It’s also really nice to drift off and wake up with each other in sight and arms length. That way everything is still real. Also, she just sleeps half on top of people so it was just gonna happen.

Possible blind Beth this season? That would be nuts
I have mixed feelings about this.
I love comics!Beth Chapel with all my heart. Comics!Beth became horribly depressed after becoming blind. After season 2, I was promised a lighter season. A teenager losing her sight is, uh, not that. And I would worry there would not be enough time or room for this show to properly do a storyline like that justice, if her blindness became permanent.
That said, I wouldn't be opposed to Beth experiencing temporary blindness due to injury, which lasts a short amount of episodes (like 1-3 max), where they know her sight will return. Think like The Darkness and the Light episode 2x05 of the Flash. I think that would be a great opportunity for Dr McNider to return and encourage Beth. I would be more excited about potential Hournite scenarios and broadened Dr Mid-Nite capabilities if this were the case, and I wouldn't feel like they would be agonizing her character. It would also leaves a door open for the show to return to a storyline in which Beth becomes blind permanently again as an adult, if they really wanted to go that route.
But if to be really honest I'm not sure that a blindness storyline is what I want for Beth right now. I was prepared for it in season 2 and it never came. I feel like the time has come and gone (for now).

V. Jai’s Decision
“Oh…”. Omera’s face fell, now sharing in Din’s sorrow. She brought a hand to his cheek, thumb running over his stubble. “Din, we have to let Jai do what’s best for them. Life in Sorgan isn’t for everyone.”
He sighed. “I know… It’s just… hard. It feels like giving up Grogu all over again.”
Stars, this man really knew how to pull at her heartstrings. “You’ve done well by them both, Din. And you care about them enough to let them go even when it hurts you. That’s the ultimate test for any parent… and you’ve passed with flying colors.”
Summary: Time jump. Din brings Jai to meet the Nite Owls, and Jai comes to a decision about the immediate future.
Note: Our main characters, but mostly Jai, will have various struggles throughout this story, and I hope the underlying theme of found family comes through strongly as they all help each other through it. Even the village at large, who have already accepted Din and Grogu as their own, will play a role in that.
I really enjoyed writing about the village gossip and their meddling in the previous chapter, so I think I’ll try to make it a recurring thread throughout the remainder of the story.
Warnings: Mild temporary angst.
Read on AO3
————————————————————————
The arrival of the young Mandalorian was causing quite a stir in the village, creating gossip the likes of which had not been seen since Omera and Din’s relationship had been the talk of the town.  Who was this teenager, really?  Was it Din’s own child?  Were they “special” like Grogu?  Did they get themselves into some sort of trouble?  They tried their damndest to gather information, but Omera was not forthcoming, and Jai was even harder to read than Din, evasive to the core.
Clearly, Din had never made the curious villagers aware that Mandalorian helmets were equipped with audio enhancers, allowing the wearer to hear every word spoken about them, and Jai was delighting in the hilarity of the increasingly outlandish theories that were being thrown about.  One bright spot in the whole thing was that Jai’s sex was never a subject of conversation - the lack thereof simply accepted without question.  Jai had come to realize quickly that the village was rather open to variations in gender expression and relationship structure, and there were others like themself in the small community.  Probably, that was one of the reasons nobody seemed much to care that Din and Omera were unmarried.  Rules and ideals governing such things just didn’t exist here.
Din and Omera… Stars , Jai owed them everything.  They’d been just so wonderful, and Jai pondered if this is what it would feel like to have parents.  The two adults had been careful, of course, not to overtly parent Jai, respecting that they were nearly of age and had already spent several years surviving on their own.  But they took care to make sure that Jai’s needs, the ones that had been neglected in favor of basic survival all this time, were met… and met well - enough food to put back on some healthy weight, appropriately sized clothing, and a comfortable place to sleep.  Omera frequently offered small doses of motherly affection and advice, tempered as much as she could muster to serve Jai’s rather private personality, while Din gently encouraged Jai to continue thinking about their options and maintain their training without setting any hard deadlines or expectations.  
Winta and Grogu had become good friends, too, and Jai enjoyed their company more than they had ever enjoyed spending time with the other foundlings at the covert, normally relating more easily to adults.  But Winta was just so genuinely kind and Grogu so sweet and friendly that interacting with them, even so frequently, was an effortless pleasure despite Jai’s relative propensity for introversion.
For the first time in their life, Jai felt accepted, cared for, and free … and something that seemed an awful lot like happiness was worming its way into their psyche - a state of being that they’d never dared to consider while living amongst the covert. 
Though Din seemed to think that Jai was putting off a decision, about whether to stay in Sorgan or join Bo-Katan’s tribe, the decision had essentially already been made… Who in their right mind would leave this place… and these people?  But that was not to say that the choice was simple.  Mandalorian ideals die hard - Din was a shining example of this, straddling both worlds because he just couldn’t bring himself to give up the resol'nare entirely.  Jai needed to give all of this proper consideration.  A visit to Trask seemed to be in order.
Jai had, in fact, already accompanied Din on a few of his travels.  While the older Mandalorian had not been tasked with any particular missions, they’d made a social visit to Nevarro so that Jai could offer Greef and Cara their gratitude in person for helping them out of a difficult situation, and then the pair had made a quick stop in Tatooine to take care of some minor repairs at Peli’s shop.  But Jai desperately wanted to go meet Bo-Katan, in order to make an informed decision about their next steps, and they had no idea how to broach the topic with Din, not wanting to appear ungrateful for his and Omera’s generosity.  
As fate would have it, Din ended up suggesting the visit himself.  While he had tried his best to repair and modify Jai’s undersized and damaged armor, it was proving near impossible without the proper tools.  Visiting the armorer was out of the question, obviously.  But Din figured that the Nite Owls must have had their armor forged by somebody - maybe they could help.  And Jai needed to meet them, anyway, so they could kill two birds with one stone here.
Jai seemed both elated and relieved when the suggestion to visit Trask was made… and that gave Din pause, an unexpected, innate reaction which surprised even himself.  Jai had integrated extremely well into life on Sorgan, and deep down, Din assumed they’d want to stay.  In fact, Din realized now, he wanted Jai to stay - he’d grown quite fond of the teenager in a rather familial way.  But damn it, this wasn’t his choice to make.   He promised to support Jai whatever they decided, and he was going to do just that.  If joining the tribe was Jai’s choice, then so be it.
——————————
Omera sidled up to Din where he stood staring out the small window overlooking the farming ponds, wrapping an arm around his waist and peering out to see what he was watching.  Jai and Winta were outside sitting on the grass playing cards, while Grogu climbed up to rest atop Jai’s helmet - a happy snapshot of their small family, recently gaining one member.  But Din certainly didn’t look happy about it.
She slid her body around to stand between him and the window wrapping her arms around his neck and looking into his eyes.  “Why are you so grim?  You’re not exactly prone to elation, but I rarely see you like this .”
He couldn’t even bring himself to smile, the serious expression firmly planted on his face.  “I think Jai is leaving… to join Bo-Katan.  They seemed relieved and… excited even...  when I suggested visiting.”
“Oh…”.  Omera’s face fell, now sharing in Din’s sorrow.  She brought a hand to his cheek, thumb running over his stubble.  “Din, we have to let Jai do what’s best for them.  Life in Sorgan isn’t for everyone.”
He sighed.  “I know… It’s just… hard.  It feels like giving up Grogu all over again.”
Stars, this man really knew how to pull at her heartstrings.   “You’ve done well by them both, Din.  And you care about them enough to let them go even when it hurts you.  That’s the ultimate test for any parent… and you’ve passed with flying colors.”
“Doesn’t make it sting any less.”
“No, Din, it doesn’t.”  She pulled him close, embracing him tightly as his arms wound around her back.  “But we’ll get through it together, alright?”
He gave in to her comforting embrace, head falling to her shoulder as he responded.  “Okay…”
——————————
“Are you not… taking your things?”
Jai cocked their helmet in confusion from their spot in the jump seat, looking at Din questioningly.  “Uhhh… no…. Why would I?”  They paused, trying to assess Din’s intentions.  “Were you planning on just… dropping me in Trask and leaving?”
Din was visibly taken aback.  “What?… No!… I just thought…”
“Din, I’m not making any decisions today.  I just want to meet the tribe and see if I’d even fit in.”  Jai leaned toward him to convey seriousness.  “I’m coming back here with you afterward regardless… Well, assuming you and Omera don’t mind having me…”  Was that why Din was acting so weird?  Had Jai overstayed their welcome?
Din shook his head in an exaggerated fashion.  “No, Jai, you’re welcome for as long as you want to be here.”
Jai paused again, still confused about the nature of this conversation, but then shrugged, giving up on making sense of Din’s strange behavior.  “Okay, then… I guess that’s settled…”
Din breathed out a quiet sigh of - at least temporary - relief as he closed the hatch and ignited the engine.
——————————
To Din’s great chagrin, the visit to Trask went… extremely well.  Of course, they accomplished the primary task of getting Jai’s armor repaired, Axe apparently becoming somewhat skilled in such things since the loss of their own armorer.  But it was Jai’s immediate taking to Bo-Katan, their rather unique personalities and intellectual natures melding quite well, that was most alarming.  They’d hit it off immediately, conversing endlessly as Bo-Katan showed Jai around their small compound, sharing bits of Mandalorian history - the kind never taught in the covert - and Jai couldn’t get enough, fascinated by it all.
From Din’s perspective, Jai was already lost - another foundling better off without him .  But he needed to snap himself out of it.  This wasn’t about him - it was about what was best for Jai.  He was taken out of his brooding by Koska’s hand on his shoulder.  “She’s pretty charismatic when she wants to be, isn’t she?”  
He didn’t respond except for a subtle nod.  Koska continued.  “You can’t help yourself, can you?  Taking in lost souls?  Getting attached?  I’ve seen you like this once before.”
Din cleared his throat.  “I was a lost soul once, and I wouldn’t be standing here right now if the Watch hadn’t taken me in.  I only do what they did for me.”
Koska looked at him pointedly, smirking.  “ You are not like the Watch, Din.  You are something much better.  Come on, vod.  Let’s spar and get your mind off it.”
The friendly sparring match was a good distraction, actually.  They chatted about some updates on the Mandalore front, as well as a newly discovered covert that had agreed to join the ranks.  Koska dutifully asked about Omera and the children, but Din offered up very little, as per usual.
Eventually, Bo-Katan re-emerged, commanding an interruption.  “Djarin - may we speak privately?”
Din turned toward her voice.  “Uhhh… sure… Where’s Jai?”
“They’re at the forge, putting on the final touches.  The armor looks much better - Axe is really becoming quite skilled.”  She whipped her head to the side, gesturing for Din to follow and then turned to face him as they stepped into her administrative space.  “Are you in the mood for a drink?”
Stars , he could use one, actually.  “Yeah, a drink would be good,” he murmured as he lifted off the helmet.
“So I get your face today… that’s rare… what’s the occasion?”  She placed two drinks down on the table and pushed one his way, sitting down across from him.  
He only shrugged in response, so she continued.
“Jai is something… they’ll make an excellent strategist one day… sure kept me on my toes.”
Din perked up a bit, happy to know at least that Bo-Katan could see what he did in the teenager.  “Yeah, they’ve been like that since childhood, actually.  One of the smartest people I’ve ever known… if only they knew what to do with it…” He actually managed a chuckle there.
Bo-Katan looked at him for a moment, assessing.  “Hmmm… They would fit in well here, if they wanted to join us.  I’d love to have them in our ranks.”
Din looked down at his drink.  “Yeah, I could see that.”
“They told me a lot about you… and Omera…”  Din looked up in surprise at that.  “How you’ve both cared for them, made them part of your family.  You’ve both done very well by them, Din…  Jai is very grateful to you.”
He cleared his throat uncomfortably.  “I… uhhh… I owe it to Jai to help however I can.  It was my fault that they were put in that situation in the first place, and I have to fix it.  Turns out they don’t really need me, though.”  He laughed.  “They have a way of seeing things clearly that you can’t see yourself… if you know what I mean… It’s been enlightening, having Jai with us.”
Bo-Katan grinned.  “I do know what you mean, actually.  These past few hours have been enlightening on my end, too.”  She chuckled lightly, “Jai told me some other things, you know, about you and your lady love …”
Din groaned.  “Oh, no…”
“Don’t worry, Din.  It’s nothing too embarrassing.  It sounds like she and her daughter have been good for you.  Jai said you’re like a different man when you’re with them - that you’re an excellent father and that you and Omera are very sweet together.  Always sneaking out…”  She laughed out loud as Din’s face reddened.  “You’re a good man, vod.  Your secret’s safe with me.”
He downed his drink.  “Okay… I think it’s time for us to go…”
——————————
Jai didn’t speak much on the flight home, lost in thought.  The visit had gone well, and Jai sensed that they would fit in.  But despite the easy comradery with Bo-Katan, something about her didn’t sit right.  It was true that the Nite Owls were much less strict and manipulative than their former tribe, but Bo-Katan still reminded Jai in some ways of the armorer - withholding information to exert her will and acting dishonorably if it would serve her cause.  Jai gleaned all of this over the course of casual conversation, something Bo-Katan would not have suspected a teenager capable of doing - and this was Jai’s advantage in such a situation, asking leading questions and receiving the older woman’s relatively unguarded answers which told more truth than she intended if you knew how to read between the lines.  Jai would have to ask Din about his experiences with her later, to see if their impressions were correct.
Anway, this experience only confirmed that Jai’s place was no longer with a tribe.  Jai’s place was in Sorgan with these wonderful people who had welcomed them into their home and allowed them to have a life of real freedom.  There was nowhere else they could imagine being now.  Jai’s decision was made.  They would tell Din and Omera tonight.
But Maker, dinner was a somber affair.  Din barely spoke, and Omera looked on the verge of tears.  Jai was starting to wonder if something was going on.  Maybe they should wait to give them the news?  No , Jai thought to themself, it’s time to make this real .  They only hoped that whatever was happening to the two adults right now hadn’t changed their feelings about allowing Jai to stay in Sorgan with them long-term.
As everyone finished eating and Omera started to stand to begin clearing the table, Jai cleared their throat to get everyone’s attention.  “Could we all… talk about something?”
Omera nodded, face contorting as she tried to hold the tears at bay, while Din looked down at his lap with a strange expression.  Jai put both hands down on the table in frustration.  “Okay… what is going on?”  They gestured to Din.  “Why are you making that face?”
Din looked up as if he didn’t know what Jai was talking about.  “What face?”
Jai looked at him pointedly.  “That face you make when you’re upset that you’re having emotions.”  Then they looked at Omera.  “And why have you been crying all evening?”  Winta and Grogu just looked on in utter confusion.  This was going nowhere.  “Alright, then.  I have something I’d like to tell you, if you all can pull yourselves together long enough to listen.”
Omera sniffled.  “Of course.  We’re listening, sweetheart…” Tears promptly filled her eyes.
Jai was baffled.  “ Maker, I really don’t understand what’s going on right now, but here it goes…”  They took a deep breath.  “I’d like to stay here in Sorgan… with you… permanently, if you’re still willing to have me.  I don’t want to join the tribe.”
Winta and Grogu whooped with joy, while Din and Omera looked shell-shocked, apparently expecting something else.  But finally, Omera’s hands flew to her face which took on a much happier expression while Din broke into a genuine smile, the rare kind that reached his eyes.
Din spoke first.  “Jai, we’d love for you to stay, if you’re sure that’s what you want.”
“It is,” Jai said with sincerity.
Omera got up and came over to Jai’s side of the table.  “May I hug you?  Is that alright?”  She knew Jai wasn’t particularly affectionate, but the occasion seemed to call for it.
Jai stood and happily embraced her, suddenly feeling a little bit emotional themself, allowing a couple stray tears to slip down their cheeks.  Winta and Grogu were next, crying tears of absolute joy.  
Din kept his composure, just barely, as he pulled Jai into a warm hug, a rare thing for the two Mandalorians.  “I’m really glad, kid.  I was hoping you’d stay.”
Jai smiled and wiped the tears from their face.  “This is the Way.”
Din chuckled.  “Yeah.  This is the Way.”
——————————
That evening, the news spread quickly once Winta shared it with a friend, and an impromptu harvest celebration was declared not long after in honor of the village’s new resident.  This time, Jai indulged all of the villagers’ curiosities, telling them how they’d known Din nearly their entire life, what series of unfortunate events had left them fending for themselves, and how Din and Omera had taken them in and made them feel at home.  Of course, everyone sang Din and Omera’s praises, the kind and brave caretakers of their small village and all who live in it, and Jai happily agreed with the sentiment.
Little gossip was to be had now.  Jai had revealed their background.  Din and Omera were long-settled.  All that remained at this point was to wait… for the two Mandalorians to show their faces… if they ever would - there were some bets being made on whether it would ever happen at all.  Jai made a pastime of listening in on the villagers’ theories about what they both looked like.  Some got it right - that they were both plain old, regular-looking humanoids just like the rest of the village, while others had more exotic ideas.  They would find out... someday soon...
What nobody realized, though, was that something much more exciting was in store…

Performance regarding value-based acquiring for compound use treatment method diamond along with retention.
Some, 3.7 and also multi-axial), pressure charge (12(-4) a few moments(-1) in order to Ten(-1) mere seconds(-1)) and also temperature [811 K in order to 1033 Nited kingdom (538 degrees C to be able to 760 diplomas H)] by using a Gleeble thermo-mechanical simulator. Deformation has been seen as a both qualitative along with quantitative means, utilizing standard microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis and flow tension acting. The outcome reveal in which deformation is especially lodged via energetic restoration throughout sub-grain development. EBSD analysis shows a consistent surge in sub-grain border misorientation together with growing tension, in the end generating recrystallized whole grains through the sub-grains in substantial ranges. This means that a sub-grain revolving recrystallization system predominates on this heat variety. Looks at of the benefits disclose a new reducing indicate dynamically recrystallized feed dimensions using escalating Zener-Hollomon parameter, and an growing recrystallized small fraction together with increasing tension. DOI: 15.1007/s11661-012-1381-4 (H) Your Mineral deposits, Materials & Materials Society and ASM Worldwide This yearHistory: The actual EC-funded EuroPrevall project reviewed the particular incidence associated with reaction to certain food throughout The european union. A well-established take into account the appearance of food allergic reaction is principal sensitization to plant pollen. Goal: For you to analyse geographical and also temporary variations in pollen direct exposure, making it possible for the analysis of precisely how these types of variations effect the actual frequency and incidence involving foodstuff allergic reactions around European countries. Methods: Airborne plant pollen information for two anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody many years (1990-2009) have been extracted from 12 overseeing websites located as close as you can for the EuroPrevall review centres. Start off times, power and time period of Betulaceae, Oleaceae, Poaceae as well as Asteraceae plant pollen months had been reviewed. Mean, pitch of the regression, probability amount (G) along with dominating taxa (Per-cent) had been computed. Trends ended up considered important at R smaller compared to 0.05. Benefits: On the Western size, Betulaceae, specifically Betula, is among the most dominant pollen exposure, on several levels above in order to Poaceae, along with in excess of a few retracts greater than for you to Oleaceae and Asteraceae. Just within Reykjavik, The city and also Derby had been Poaceae the dominant pollen, as ended up being Oleaceae within Thessaloniki. Pot plant pollen (Asteraceae) wasn't dominant, direct exposure taken into account bigger compared to 10% involving full pollen coverage just inside Siauliai (Artemisia) as well as Legnano (Ambrosia). Constant trends in the direction of altering intensity as well as time period of exposure are not seen, probably with the exception of (not significant) decreased experience Artemisia as well as elevated contact with Ambrosia. Results: This is actually the first extensive study quantifying experience the main allergenic plant pollen family members Betulaceae, Oleaceae, Poaceae along with Asteraceae throughout The european union. These kinds of information is now used for scientific studies in to styles associated with sensitization as well as sensitivity in order to plant pollen as well as meals.You will find there's lack of evidence about the optimum age from which in order to stop mammographic testing for cancer of the breast.

Remembering and holding on to the reality of hope: “The object of our faith is the essential substance of it. When we lose sight of the actual meaning of our faith, then we lose the very thing that sustains it. The joy of the Christmas message is so much richer, deeper, and more beautiful than any other story that’s ever been told. Glory was wrapped in flesh and dwelt among us, so that we could be wrapped in righteousness and dwell with God. Jesus lived a perfect life so he could be the perfect sacrifice for all that is wrong both in our own lives and in the world. Without Jesus our belief has no merit, our faith has no basis, and our hope has no anchor. In Jesus, we find the joy of believing. In Jesus, we know this to be a season of hope. In Jesus, we find the substance of our faith.” - Melissa Kruger As i breathe & battle thru continued years of sleepless nites - skeletal pain, head pain, neuropathy, allergy, reaction to allergies, TBi and dysautonomia (neuro-storms) symptoms uncontrollably or government-limiting because of addiction/abuse or insurance costs or not enough to medically address (yet at the same time prescribing things no one can explain how they work); i can choose to focus on the worldly temporary that brings hopelessness as a devouring, drifting, darkness… or choose to focus on the only God who would sacrifice all so you and i might be made whole, healed, cleansed of our sins, preparing a place where life is everlasting with no more pain nor sorrow nor tears. Christmas. Jesus. Immanuel. God with us. Make room in your heart for hope and strength and peace everlasting, i pray.

frankly speaking, i was really naive being in loved with someone by only the way he treat me really well which was just the bare minimums. i fell for the minimums. and so i look back and tried my best to rebuilding my self to not getting attached into love, because for me, love is just the way we feel, not we think. 
i hardly believe myself is going to be in the positions where i can thousands of butterflies flying in my stomach again, ever since that day. i lose sparks, in my whole life. the butterflies were dead. gue udah numb sama semuanya. 
but last nite, i didn’t know it was going to be the day where i realized the butterflies still there. it was all just casual meeting. dia jemput, having a basic convo at the first 30 minutes. we talked a lot at coffeeshop, nemenin dia kerja, he convienced me is it okay kalo dia sambil kerja, 3x, he asked 3 times, or even more. he crave for my opinion. gue rasa itu turning pointnya, i feel somehow.. content, gue berasa dianggap, it was two way conversations. and i jokingly said i want seafood tapi dia alergi and he insists to go there where he can only eat ayam goreng for real supaya gue tetep bisa makan seafood. kita ngobrol banyak banget, ngobrolin bola, badminton, basket, politik, makanan, banyak bgt sampe gue sadar, these are what i looking for. gue butuh temen ngomong, temen diskusi, and its all on him. 
its 12 am, we tried to find another place to stop. dan akhirnya roti bakar eddy. we rode down the lane, manggarai to blok m and ended up rotinya tutup hahhaha. we stuck on the car, dia izin ngerokok dulu, dan gue gabut. and when i showed him some reference places, he moved closer to see my phone and he tapped my head for like...5x?. it was the moment where... the butterflies strucks up. receh banget, kaya hah gini doang, tapi gue udah kehilangan itu sejak, idk, smp? sma? udah feeling numb aja sama yang kaya gitu. and for a moment, i know this not going to last, ya sadar aja hal-hal kaya gini temporary, so gue gak terlalu attach, kalau pun emang jalannya, i know the road will always lead to him, tapi kalo engga, ya gapapa juga. but it was truly a wonderful midnight diary with him, it was in my dream, strolling di jakarta tengah malem, ngeliat kehidupan tengah malem, and it came true! so adam, thank you for making my dream come true, unconsciously:’))

Pentose phosphate pathway Packed Chitosan-Protamine Nanoparticles Revealed Antitumor Exercise Through Suppression involving NF-κB, Proinflammatory Cytokines and Bcl-2 Gene Phrase within the Cancer of the breast Cellular material
Summary: Free Alternative flap composed of pores and skin as well as adaptable subcutaneous muscle, equally decreases donor internet site deaths and it is ideally suited for most soft-tissue renovation in the dorsal ft ., heel as well as plantar base. Free muscle tissue flaps, however, offer comparatively simpler cells moves and are favored with the ankle joint location inside the presence of open tibia fractures, plus high risk sufferers to decrease the perioperative deaths.Although the co-occurrence regarding damaging affect and discomfort is well recognized, the system main his or her organization is actually cloudy. To examine whether or not perhaps the most common self-regulatory capability effects the experience of the two emotion as well as discomfort, we incorporated neuroimaging, conduct, along with bodily measures from about three tests split up by considerable temporary durations. Each of our outcomes revealed that person variations feeling rules capability, because classified by an objective way of measuring emotive state, corrugator electromyography, expected self-reported achievement although controlling discomfort. In sentiment as well as ache paradigms, the particular amygdala mirrored regulation #Link# achievement. Especially, all of us learned that greater sentiment regulation achievement had been connected with increased alter regarding amygdalar exercise right after pain regulation. Moreover, personal variants a higher level amygdalar modify right after emotion legislation were a powerful predictor regarding ache legislations good results, and also from the a higher level amygdalar wedding right after ache legislation. These bits of information claim that frequent individual differences in sentiment and also soreness regulation good results are usually reflected in a nerve organs composition known to give rise to value determination procedures.Gold(My spouse and i)-catalysed addition of alcohols to 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropenes occur in an extremely regioselective as well as semplice way to create alkyl tert-allylic ethers in great produces. The reaction is actually loving toward sterically hindered substituents about the cyclopropene as well as primary and also extra alcohols as nucleophiles. On this entire article, many of us directory of the particular substrate opportunity as well as plausible mechanism, as well as the regioselectivity issues arising from following gold(We)-catalysed isomerisation associated with tertiary to primary allylic ethers.Sr(Pd1-xPtx)(Only two)Ge-2, SrPd2(Ge1-xSix)(2), along with Sr(Pd1-xAgx)(2)Ge-2 individual crystals had been created by using a self-flux approach to examine the connection between chemical substance strain and also electron doping on the superconductivity of SrPd2Ge2 superconductors. The greatest increased superconducting stage move temperature (T-c) ended up being 3.Twenty-six Nited kingdom, that was affecting Sr(Pd1-xPtx)(A couple of)Ge-2 from a Equals 2.0618. In comparison, the particular T-c of SrPd2(Ge1-xSix)(A couple of) continued to be practically constant because the level of dopant elevated, and also electron doping throughout Sr(Pd1-xAgx)(Two)Ge-2 under control your superconductivity. In addition, regarding by <Equals 3.0657, the particular superconducting upper crucial industry (H-c2) greater linearly with an boost in the price of a throughout Sr(Pd1-xPtx)(2)Ge-2, whilst H-c2 stayed practically continuous inside #Link# SrPd2(Ge1-xSix)(Two). The outcome in the present #Link# review ended up in comparison with that relating to pnictide compounds which has a ThCr2Si2-type construction.
