Kira!! 2, 7, 35, 37 for the fic writers meme?
💖
2. Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?:
oooo hm well i have yet to try any AUs other than canon-divergence (i'm a simple bitch and structure is my friend fkshdh). there's a lot of potential and really fun things you can do with like modern AUs or Fantasy AUs. they are however, significantly harder for me to write so i'd probably say it's unlikely i'll stray too far from the canon universe.
7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it:
Okay, so truthfully, I don't consider any of what i write 'prose' as much as I consider it a series of actions propelled entirely by dialogue and dry humor. But I think my favorite thing I've written so far would have to be the opening to Chapter 3 of Jareor:
The sound of a door hissing open was like a bullet, and Fox came back to himself with a jolt. He was at the entrance to the Guard barracks, standing dumbly in front of the open door. The sky outside was dark.
What?
There was a startled gasp from somewhere in front of him. Fox's head snapped to the shiny who had stopped dead in his tracks. The shiny took a step back at Fox's sudden movement, his head tilting up and down nervously, like he wasn't sure what to focus on. He spilled a bit of his cup of caf on the ground. 
"C-Commander?" he whispered, voice high-pitched and scared. "Sir, are y- are you all right?" 
Fox staggered dizzily, bracing one hand on the doorway. The shiny whimpered and jumped nervously at his movement again. Fox wasn't entirely focused but the reaction was pissing him off. Mostly because he didn't know why. Did he really scare them that much?
"I should… kriff, what should I…" the shiny was muttering to himself nonsensically. Enough of this. Fox growled something in his throat that was probably supposed to be a word and started walking forward, intending to leave the shiny alone to his babbling. His head was killing him. 
The caf cup shattered on the ground as the shiny cowered. 
Fox stilled. His senses came back all at once and he became very aware of several things. 
His ankle was either very sprained or broken.
He was holding his vibroblade in a white-knuckled grip.
He was covered in blood. 
He couldn't tell if the blood was his or someone else's.
Fox's grip went slack in stiff increments and the vibroblade clattered to the ground, making the shiny wince. The pain he had been too numb to feel blossomed and spread through his entire body, becoming more intense with each second that passed. Fox swayed. 
"Get Surge."
The last thing he heard was the shiny sprinting down the hall yelling for a medic before it all went black.
--
I guess what I liked with writing this scene was the build up. I really wanted to push the mystery of what was actually going on and not reveal what was happening until there was enough suspense. I also really enjoyed writing the one line about the shiny cowering in front of Fox. It’s the moment that truly snapped him out of the rest of his fugue state. Because to Fox, seeing one of his men openly afraid of him was so upsetting that it brought him entirely back into himself.
35. Would you ever kill off a canon character?
hmm i'm not sure! in regards to canon character death it's definitely a possibility that i'd include that, depending on the route i take. but killing off a canon character in other circumstances might be too hard for me fjdjshsh despite the amount of angst i write i'm firmly rooted in writing happy endings for the most part. so unless im feeling entirely vindictive i likely won't write a fic heavily involving major character death.
37. Talk about your current wips:
So I have a Wolffe and Plo prompt from like a month ago I'm slogging through, i've rewritten it once already but i think i'm getting there with wrapping up the ending! i like this little fic a lot, and would love to write more Wolffe! Plo as well but I find him (and Jedi in general) a bit more difficult to write since it’s hard for my dumbass brain to write wise words and stuff. But this fic explores Wolffe and Plo very soon after the Malevolence and leads to why the 104th changes their armor color.
Another WIP is a currently very early stages Depa/Grey fic from early in the war (i fell DEEP into rarepair hell with these two). It spawned entirely from two things: wanting more content of them and wanting to write a 'huddling for warmth' trope. It's taking longer than I would like because I'm still figuring out how I want to characterize them. It's currently third on priority after the Wolffe and Plo prompt fill and the Jareor update. My hell-brain also is very tempted to write a longfic for them about their entire time in the war together but I'm forcing myself not to think about it yet.
Lastly! My single multi-chapter WIP Jareor! I'm honestly flabbergasted by the response I got for this fic. It started out entirely self-indulgent because I wanted to write about Fox. And it was originally going to only be like 3 chapters. Now it's looking like it might be somewhere around 20. There's a BUNCH i wanna do with this fic. It starts slow and really kind of heavy-handed on Fox angst, but once things start to pick up (in my head) it becomes more of Fox being a reckless BAMF. I wanna do right by this fic though, but I'm not very good at planning and get bogged down by tiny details, which is why it's been some time since an update. But I think I'm getting there! And I've got some fun characters I want to bring in as well! So I really am excited to write it and share it with you guys ;u;
Oh, also I might fuck around and write incredibly self-indulgent oneshot fics about my ocs Kad and Pel because I just really love them. I’ve never centered fics around my ocs though so it will be an interesting challenge!

Blurred Lines : Chapter 6 - The Temple
yaaay chapter 6 is finally here, continuing Kavaraas adventure 
After dispatching the Weequay on the mysterious planet Kavaraa and Theron head inside the planet to search for the dark presence
Kavaraa caught her breath as she stood over the last of the crazed weequay “i think that’s the last of them” she hoped anyway all this fighting was tiring her out
“not exactly a heroes welcome is it” Theron said as he holstered his blaster, the weequay had turned on them very quickly after leading them to the temple. Kavaraa suspected some level of control either from the temple or the presence within had forced them into fighting. As a result she had tried to kill as little as possible but unfortunately some were unavoidable.
“yeah not exactly, let’s get back to the temple we still need to investigate” she said, the temple was clearly made by an ancient force user judging by the structure but the big giveaway was that the door could only be opened by a force user. As they made their way over Kavaraa began to concentrate making sure to think peacefully, she muttered the Jedi code under her breath as she raised her hand and concentrated on unlocking the ancient temple. Her mind began to wonder as she concentrated, to recent events, why she was here and what that all meant, as she did her hand began to close into a fist before she heard a crash which snapped her out of her trance. As she opened her eyes she saw the door was open and bits of rubble were scattered at the bottom of the door.
“you know i probably could’ve done the same with a few thermal detonators” Theron said with a cute grin on his face, oh yeah so much precision in a thermal detonator
“oh yeah i’m sure you could” Kavaraa said with a coy smile where did that rubble come from was it her? probably not this temple was pretty old 
“you okay there Kav?” Theron looked concerned Kavaraa realized she’d just been standing still for a bit 
“yeah fine sorry i was somewhere else for a second” they should probably head in she was already delaying their time off with this little escapade no use in standing around. They headed into the temple and Kavaraa closed the door behind them as she did they were engulfed in darkness “oh woops i uh didn’t think it’d get so dark in here” she began to fumble around in the dark before bumping into Theron and then she lost her balance feeling herself fall onto the ground. Then a sudden bright light illuminated the chamber she put her hands in front of her eyes to block the light.
“is that better” Theron was holding a flashlight with his hand out “how did you end up on the floor?” but she bumped into him what?
“i bumped into you and fell over did you forget” Kavaraa was confused if not Theron then what
Theron shined his light on something behind her “i think you mean you bumped into that crumbled statue” oh god she bumped into a stationary statue she was so embarrassed “is that how you see me” he said with a smile
“no no of course not sorry i didn’t mean to i uh” Kavaraa wasn’t sure what to say
“honey i’m messing with you cmon get up off the floor” he extended his hand out and pulled her back up “one of the most powerful Jedi huh” Kavaraa knew Theron was messing with her but she thought she’d lean into it
“you wanna test that theory” she said trying her best to look intimidating
“ah uh yeah probably not” aw he was so cute when he was flustered Kavaraa gave him a quick peck on the cheek before heading down the corridor. They continued down the corridor until they found a large circular room with a skylight letting the in the sunlight “what do you think this was” Theron said clearly not that familiar with Jedi architecture this was probably a common area for peaceful meditation or a training room one or the other.
Kavaraa however saw an opportunity to get him back for the floor thing “looks like a ballroom to me” she said gesturing some dance moves
“why would Jedi have a ballroom that doesn’t sound right” he said scratching his head
“oh it’s actually more common than you think” This wasn’t true but Kavaraa wished it was true maybe she should add a ballroom to her temple “some Jedi enjoy a good bit of dancing” she said beginning to dance “maybe we should you know to appease the temple” she said turning on her holopad for some music

“i don’t think that’ll be necessary Kav” This was gonna be a hard sell but she could do it
“cmonnnn it’ll be fun” Kavaraa had began to properly go for it she had no idea if it looked good or bad she didn’t mind “nobody's watching cmonnn” 
“ugghh fine” yessss another win for Kavaraa, Theron began to awkwardly move his arms back and forward aww he was at least trying she should help she grabbed his arms and began to try and dance with him. They began to try to dance with each other both a little awkward but enjoying the idea of it. It took Theron a little while but he began to loosen up and they began to try and do more than just mild arm movments and shimmying on the spot. Kavaraa thought she’d try a spin she went for it but Theron wasn’t concentrating and didn’t catch her oh no she thought as she tumbled onto the floor witha crash.
*music stops*
“oh my god are you ok i’m so sorry” Theron quickly ran over as Kavaraa started laughing to herself
“yeah i’m fine you big dummy” she smiled at him before kissing him suddenly “ make sure to catch me next time we do that” Theron was blushing as Kavaraa stood up and picked a corridor to head down. They continued to explore the tunnels for about an hour before they found a clear direction to the main chamber, Kavaraa could sense the dark presence getting stronger as they made their may towards the main chamber.
“man it’s so dark in here i feel like something is gonna jump out at any second” Theron looked nervous 
Kavaraa knew what she had to do she reared back a bit “BOO” she jumped out at Theron but he didn’t even flinch “what why weren't you scared” Kavaraa said pouting
Theron smiled at her “you do that every time we go to these sorts of place” damn it he was right as well she did always do it “I've kinda grown wise to it, you need to raise your game” he said smiling
“challenge accepted” Kavaraa said with a devious smile
“wait no forget i said that” Therons regret was immediate realizing the mistake he just made hehehe she was gonna eat him alive with her scare. They reached the end of the tunnel and came to an odd door, it was inscribed with planets on circular movable discs.
“oooo oooo oooo a puzzle” Kavaraa could hardly contain her excitement she loved puzzles. She studied it for a second before saying “back in two seconds” 
“wait where are you going” Theron said as she dashed off, she just needed to look through that skylight again. She made her way back there looked at the stars and came back. Without a word she began moving the discs to around until the door clicked and opened. “how did you do that” Theron looked taken aback and perplexed she should explain
“those planets are the ones which can be seen from the sky so i checked where they were in reference to a compass and then moved them around to the right positions” Kavaraa was intensely proud of herself she loved riddles and puzzles and the solve was always the best part but now on to more important matters
“well colour me im-” Theron started 
“BOO” Kavaraa said out of nowhere, Theron jumped back in surprise nearly losing his balance 
“god dammit Kav is that all you’ve been thinking about since i said it” he looked annoyed but in a good way
Kavaraa giggled “hehe yeah you gave me a challenge i had to win” she was now double proud of herself 
“let’s head down don’t wanna wait here forever” Theron said recovering from the fright she agreed and they headed down into the main chamber. They entered a large expanse of a room with a large shrine at the end of it sitting at the top of the shrine she saw a hooded figure kneeling down in front of the alter, she recognized them as the dark presence she could sense this may get ugly she thought...
