Lou Kesyk’s lightsabers designs

As a Jedi knight —

Material: Haysian Smelt

Kyber Crystal: Orange

Double-bladed

As a Sith warrior —

Material: Chromium

Kyber Crystal: Red

Single blade, will sometimes detach them to make it double

Got the idea from @nightbloodraelle and thought it would be cool to make Lou’s lightsabers in Fallen Order.

#definitely had fun putting these together #oc: lou kesyk #probably gonna redo them when survivor comes out #star wars oc #fallen order #cal kestis my beloved

Comfortember Day 12: Dreams

Water presses against him, fills his ears.  

Cal jolts, eyes springing open. Overhead is a bright blue sky. That can’t be right. Doesn’t feel right. He sits up, sinking slowly into the soft sand beneath the water. Far, far away he sees a beach and a figure waving and shouting. He knows her. He does. Who is she?

Someone moves at his side, the water splashing.

Cal watches a young man run past him and toward the beach. There’s something familiar about him too. Cal gets to his feet and hurries after him. Maybe he can explain what happen. Either him or the woman calling out on the beach.

Except Cal never makes it to the beach. The people shatter like glass and drift away, the world fading into –

Water presses against him, fills his ears.  

Cal jolts, eyes springing open. Overhead is a bright blue sky. That can’t be right. Doesn’t feel…

“I’ve done this before,” he whispers.

He looks over, sees a young man, probably his own age, flat out in the water beside him, eyes closed, grinning up at the sun. Facing the beach, Cal sees the tiny figure waving and shouting.

“Hey,” Cal calls, reaching out. “Hey, I think – ”

His hand passes through the other man.

The man’s eyes open and he sits, the water splashing. “Yeah, yeah, alright, I’m coming!”

Cal knows him. He knows his face. But there’s something different. Something…

…animated?

This time, Cal tries to keep up, make it to the beach, but…

Water presses against him, fills his ears.  

Cal jolts, eyes springing open. Overhead is a bright blue sky. That can’t be right. He was…

“I’ve done this before,” he whispers.

More than once. He takes a deep breath, ignores the sound of a person beside him. He needs to remember what he was doing before this. Right before.

Inside. He’d been inside. With the others. Stuck during a storm. Invited into a home. Log cabin. Simple. Homely. Welcomed to the table. Greez helping with the cooking. BD scanning. Merrin and Cere speaking with the friendly homeowner – Dyla. She’d taken pity on them, told them it was too dangerous to go back to their ship. Talk. They’d all been talking, until Cal was called upstairs, the Force insistent. A room. Medical equipment. A figure on the bed. Young. Unconscious. Shimmering.

An echo.

The man was an echo. And now, Cal is inside the echo. Not hearing. Not merely watching. Not even seeing it from within the man’s perspective. He is inside the echo. He is himself within in the memory, in the past.

“This is new,” Cal tells himself.

He can’t let the echo loop again. There must be more.

Cal looks. The man gets up, calls out, runs for the beach. This time, Cal goes with the flow, doesn’t allow the echo to reset. He pushes through, follows through, and this time when the people disperse and the beach fades to white, everything coalesces anew and suddenly he’s back in the cabin they’ve taken shelter in, except he’s in the past with its hazy, dreamlike quality, and standing ahead of him is the young man, arms held up, with Dyla aiming a weapon at him. Instinct tells Cal to get in between them. Before he can move, the pair burst into laughter, the man turns and walks through Cal, passing by like a warm breeze.

The scene replays.

Cal swears. He needs to get the hang of this, follow the man’s memory, not get stuck in it.

Not get lost.

He tunes in, hears the pair properly this time.

“It’s going to work perfectly,” Dyla says. “No one’s going to see us coming. No one knows about us. You go to work, same as always, we come in and launch the surprise attack, take you hostage and you let us in. No one will suspect you because why would they? You being such a loyal soldier.”

The past moves on, and Cal’s there, in the Imperial outpost they’d taken care to avoid today, staring at a stormtrooper with his arms raised, Dyla aiming a weapon at him, a crowd of others behind her.

“Give us what we want, and no one gets hurt!” Dyla bellows.

The stormtrooper – the young man – opens the door and beyond is a prisoner transport. Dyla and her people rush aboard, start freeing people, start –

The echo shifts. A firefight. Prisoners versus stormtroopers. Cal sees Dyla. Sees the fear on her face. It’s all gone wrong. Cal knows exactly which stormtrooper is the young man, can see him a sea of white.

Sees a prisoner behind him. Sees the prisoner holding a weapon – a slugthrower.

The prisoner doesn’t know he’s aiming at an ally.

He lines up the shot.

Fires.

The slug cuts through the helmet.

The young man drops.

The crowd moves past him, the fight heading beyond the prison. Dyla alone remains. Her, and Cal. He joins her at the man’s side, sees that despite the terrible headwound, he’s still alive. He’s still –

The echo fades and they’re back in the water, back on the beach. The echo has looped again. Cal sits, turns to the man, reaches for him.

The man looks at him, stares in confusion. “Who are you? What are you doing here?”

No one ever noticed Cal in an echo before. No one. This man, this rebellious stormtrooper, is trapped within it. Stuck in his own past, going around and around and –

Cal holds out a hand. “Come with me. Come back. Dyla’s waiting.”

Their hands connect. The echo ends. Cal is back in the cabin, hand closed around the young man’s. The young man who is staring up at him from his nest of medical equipment. Cal’s head gives a nauseating thud. He can’t be sick. Can’t be. Not on this poor guy he just woke up. He takes a deep breath. “I’ll go and get your, uh, your – ”

“You were in my head.” The man’s voice is a whisper. “My memory. And now you’re here. How?”

The door opens. Dyla is there, staring first at Cal, and then at her partner in the bed. She rushes forward.

“You’re awake!” she cries out. “I never… I never thought it would…”

He reaches for her, hand trembling. She grabs it, sits on the bed, kissing his fingers.

Cal backs away, finding a wall to lean against. His head throbs, the migraine gaining strength. He’d never, not once, done that before. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb him.”

She looks up at him. “You’re joking, right? Dev’s been in a coma for months. You woke him up. The doctors said he would never –” She trails off, stares at him, wonder in her eyes. “What are you?”

He’s going to be sick, that’s what he is. He rushes out of the room, almost crashes into Cere, finds the cabin’s refresher and just about makes it in time. A few minutes later, there’s a knock on the door and Cere calls out. She steps in, crouches down by his side. “What did you do?” she asks.

He holds up a hand, begging for silence. He’s not ready. His head is in a vice, brain slowly crushing under the pressure.

Cere’s voice is next in his head, soft and soothing. It’s alright, she tells him. We’re still safe here. I’ll be back for you.

She slips out once again. The only sound is the rain lashing the refresher window. Cal sinks to the refresher floor, eyes closed, the cold tile the most soothing thing he’d ever experienced in his whole life. Slowly, surely, the nausea backs off and the migraine steadies. He sits up, massaging his head. He wishes he hadn’t left his sunglasses aboard the Mantis. They’d really come in handy right about now. Instead, he gets to his feet and washes off in the sink. When he steps out, Dyla is in the hallway, eyes swimming with tears.

“I know what you are,” she says.

Cal takes a breath, steadies himself with the Force. “And I know what you are. You and Dev.”

Dyla smiles. “Guess that means we’re on the same team.” She salutes him. It’s the Partisan’s salute. “I promise I’ll never tell a soul, not after what you’ve done for us.”

“Will Dev be alright?” Cal asks.

“Eventually,” Dyla says. “He’s got me. And I spoke to Cere. She told me offer you a bed.” She nods to the door on her right. “That’s for you.”

Cal thanks her, steps in, and finds Cere and BD waiting. There’s a bed with the covers turned down, and BD’s busy hopping on the pillow to fluff it.

“What did you do?” Cere asks.

Flopping carefully into the bed, Cal closes his eyes. Cere places a cold compress over his head. It feels so good. “It was an echo,” he tells her. “It called to me. But it wasn’t like others. It was a sequence, a chain of echoes, stuck on a loop.” He pauses, takes a deep breath. “Cere, I think I walked through his dreams.”

“Your psychometry is strengthening,” she says. “This is likely the next progression of the ability.”

“Could have used a heads up,” Cal says.

“Get some sleep,” Cere tells him. “And try to stay in your own dreams."

I bet Cal would be a great teacher.

As a youngling, he's surrounded by thing belonging to teachers and mentors and masters of their craft. People who know how to teach, how to approach different styles, who practice understanding and patience.

And then Cal learns through these echoes, learns quickly and was probably considered a prodigy at least. But he's also kind and generous, and he would've turned around and taught others as well.

From anyone else, it probably would've come off condescending or something, but Cal's just so earnest, who can say no? Especially when they really are struggling and Cal knows the best way to explain it.

✨️ cute Cal Kestis and BD-1 headcanons because these two own my entire head and heart and ass 💕

Cal and BD cuddling up close under a blanket for a soft night's sleep under the stars. Cal pats BD's head like a beloved dog, asks BD to tell a bedtime story for them, and huffs a silent laugh once BD is finished, maybe a little teary eyed and lonely.

Cal sharing a piece of cake with BD even though he knows he can't eat it, tells him the recipe for how the cake is made, the sugar, the flour, the stirring. BD promises that he'll be there the next time Cal wants to bake a space cake, he can help fuck shit up stirr the ingradients and maybe even hold the eggs for him.

Cal and BD hitting a local farmer's market and Cal just. tucks BD under his arm like a watermelon. BD has a lot of excited opinions on every fruit and food they pass, which he obviously has never tried. He thinks they're all fantastic, including the dripping oily food. Cal hums and listens attentively to BD's raving reviews.

The sun occasionally glares too hot on dome planets, so BD climbs Cal's shoulder and balances on Cal's head, tries to act like an umbrella so Cal's scalp doesn't burn. Cal mimicks his wobbly movements, spreads his hands and sways around, "this is what you look like BD, haha"

Cal and BD falling asleep curled together, small and vulnurable and warm.

Cal tries to keep a diary to process some of his emotions and his trauma and his thoughts, remember things, but he struggles with writing and loses a few notebooks before BD offers to listen to him and record this thoughts for him as he speaks. Because his thoughts are important; they deserve to be recorded and preserved and cherished like all the other world data BD knows.

BD helps Cal cook. they fuck up the whole kitchen and Cal almost slips on spilled sauce. BD helps him (haphazardly) to clean up.

BD likes to watch sunrises. Not sunsets, just sunrises. Cal is not an early bird, but he sets clock and curls besides BD in bed and pats his head as BD adjusts the lenses of his eyes and and watches the sunrise. He chirps that he wants to record sunrises, but he's afraid that he might fill up his memory and have no more space for recording important data. Cal tells him that sunrises are important data, tells him to record all he wants. So a part of BD's internal hard drive becomes a little treasure box of blurry and badly composed sunrise pictures, because BD doesn't understand artistic metrics, but he loves sunrise so much.

Whenever Cal's thoughts spiral out of control BD sits by his side and plays a slide of bad sunrise pictures, he thinks sunrises are beautiful and make you happy. Cal stares until he remembers that there will be a tomorrow, maybe a better one with a brighter sun shining on them.

BD brings Cal breakfast and makes sure Cal doesn't go hungry in the morning; he tends to forget breakfast. BD carrying a tiny little fanny pack with him that has chocolate bars and sour candies in it so Cal can grab a bite anytime.

Cal buys BD a raincoat! and shoes for winter!!

BD goes through a rebellious phase and wants to look punk, so cal gets a pack of kiddie markers and tries to paint cool things on him. He's spectacularly horrible at it but BD feels badass and runs off before Cal can clean up his masterpieces so there they are. BD is a tatooed punk now.

BATH TIME BATH TIME, Cal needs to wash BD up and oil him. BD doesn't like bath time and needs to be tricked by treats, treats being, Cal says he knows a lot about a certain part of a map BD is trying to refine in his database, but he will only tell him if he lets Cal wash his dirty feetsies. BD throws a tantrum but lets Cal do it eventually.

#listen i. i love them so much😭😭 #i can't believe Cal and BD invented the concept of friendship it's insane #not to be dramatic on main but i'd literally face god and kill him if BD asked me to #Cal Kestis #BD-1 #Cal Kestis and BD-1 #jedi: fallen order #star wars jedi fallen order #star wars #star wars headcanons #casket kiss and birdy one my beloved ❤️ #farimah writes
