From your "Christian Asks" - 17. If you could ask God one scripture-related question, what would it be?

Hmm I would like to know what He meant exactly when He was telling slaveowners to be good to their slaves. I know that God hates slavery, but why didnt He outright condemn it? I'll just have to trust and keep looking for an answer to that one I guess

#thanks for the ask! #plainrea #sorry i answered so late #asks #krakens croaks

Your WIP "Extra Care Won’t Flip A Boat" because I am beyond intrigued with the title. 🤔

aha! My Ahti fic :D

I was thinking about how we never see any other janitorial staff, but they obviously exist-- there’s some mentioned on the Hotline check in, and Ahti’s office/the janitor break room looks well lived in beyond just Ahti’s doing-- so I wondered: what if Ahti knew the Hiss was coming, and sent his staff home early?

I can’t really wager how much he knew overall, but at the least, I’m sure he had a hunch, a feeling, that something very big was coming, so before he set up to take his vacation and hire an assistant, he got all the staff together, and told them to take the day off. Take the week off. A vacation. He’s got it handled, and he’ll call them when they need to come back. Everyone’s a bit confused, and not sure really what he’s on about-- he seems a bit stressed, like he’s preparing for something-- but he assures everyone it’ll be just fine, he has some help lined up to pick up the slack ;D

For the "Character Asks" - 2. is your least favorite? & 19. was cast best? (I'm really curious about that second one, ngl. 😊)

#2 - For my least favorite character,,, I gotta be honest, I wasn’t a super big fan of Stephen Walker. I have nothing against him at all, I just feel like he wasn’t super memorable for me since he wasn’t on the show for that long. If he got more time, I’m sure I would’ve loved him more!!

#19 - I think most of the Criminal Minds cast was pretty well cast (maybe that’s just because I’ve just seen so much of them lmao) but my standouts are Paget Brewster as Emily Prentiss (true perfection, mwah), MGG as Spencer Reid (obviously), and Kirsten Vangsness as Penelope Garcia (truly who else could do such an incredibly job as Garcia). These are just the characters I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing!!

Thank you for the ask @plainrea <3

For the "Sleepover Thing!" ('Cause I feel bold enough now to shoot you asks. xD) Personal Questions: Do you prefer "instrumental" or music with vocals? Is there a particular hobby (i.e. sports, gaming, sailing) that would be a no-go/deal-breaker for you in a relationship? ❤️😊

i hope everyone feels comfortable popping into my ask box! you’re always welcome here! 💕

99.9% of the time i need music with vocals. occasionally i’ll listen to lofi when i want to zen out or classical music when i’m studying. but i did go to my first classical music concert at the la phil earlier this year and i actually enjoyed it!

i’m not a fan of hunting and fishing for sport so i don’t think i would enjoy my significant other bringing home dead things all the time 😳 other than that, as long as someone’s hobbies don’t hurt anyone or anything, i’m good! and might even give it a try because i think couples should take an interest in each other like that.

thank you for the Qs!! 💗

😴 sleepover thing 😴

Hi! If someone who loves Hitman but is new to fanfiction would ask which 3 of your own stories are the best, which ones would you recommend?

Wow, thank you so much for asking! <3

Such a tough question! I have no idea if the ones I like the most are actually the best of those I've written.

I think my favourite is Maybe We've Changed. Not my most popular work, but I feel like this is where I peaked. 😅 A reader commented that I "caption the immense raw emotion and feeling of this story like a poem", which is what I was going for and I'm so glad that it seemingly delivered. I wanted to give the Hitman 3 Year 2 announcement a different, more angsty spin, because I love angst, but also a happy ending because Diana and 47 deserve a lifetime of happiness after everything that happened.

Your Secret Admirer is one of my two takes on the Season of Lust DLC mission, and it was prompted by @hndcrm (whose Hitman fics are also required reading, thank you very much!). I think it's best to be familiar with the mission before reading it, but I've been told it's quite fandom blind friendly, so no DLC purchase needed. A reader commented it's a "mixture of love, lust, and angst" with a "heart-wrenching twist at the end" and that I "managed to preserve the sense of respect and affection between them to mix it in with the passion and lust". I'm so, so, so proud of this one! 😭

My third fic on this list has to be Field Research. I had so much fun plotting and writing it, and it was even nominated for an award (which it obviously didn't win, the competition was really strong, but being nominated was already honour enough if I'm honest!). My readers know that I have a soft spot for Diana and 47 meeting in a bar (It's not a problem, I swear! I could stop any time... if I wanted to. Put those intervention banners back down!), and this is where 47 tries to practice flirting with the help of a guidebook before things happen.

As a starter, I'd also highly recommend reading Catharsis by @hndcrm, Half the Victory by @apricotbones, Skeletons of the Past by @cajunandfire, Death and Orchids by @nihilnovisubsole, Eavesdropping the Pancakes by Boggy, whose Tumblr plainrea seems to be gone now, Little Deaths by @skylightpirate, and, well, so many more. I already gave you my favourites by @cicaklah on her post, but just as @hndcrm said, everything by her is required reading.

Luckily it's a small fandom, so all you need is dedication and a couple of days to work your way through the riches of our AO3 tag. 😅

Welcome to the party!

2. my heart is with yours in another life

Mandomera has such a special place in my heart. So special in fact that they are the first ship I’ve ever written for! And I’m so glad because I have met very cool mutuals because of it ;)

Rebelcaptain also has a very special place in my heart. I especially love this little fic TvT

Things Din does for Omera

How’re we feeling, fellow Mandomera’s? We didn’t get a return to Sorgan and our fav krill farmers this 2nd season like we hoped. But surely not all hope is lost for the 3rd season! Thanks to @foxlace, @purpletangomintsprite, @plainrea and @sheena-is-a-punk-rockrrr for helping us keep up the hope!! 

These are ideas I’ve had in my head for over a year because while I love so much of the Mandomera content I find, a lot if is...Omera taking care of/doing things for Din and rarely the other way around (unless it involves protection of some sort). So I wanted to write something that showed more reciprocation in their relationship. You can imagine this all takes place during S1 CH 4: Sanctuary, or even after all of Season 2! Here we go! 

Those krill-filled baskets get heavy and rarely is there just one to haul up from the ponds. Omera often does have help from her fellow farmers in lifting them up but when they have their own hands full, Omera is used to doing it herself. Cue one day Omera is struggling with 4+ baskets and Din easily, gently takes them all out of her hands to put them on the wagon. He...may have decided to show off a bit by carrying all of the baskets in just one arm. 

By the end of that farming day, Din carried a last batch of 5 more baskets for Omera in one arm and easily gave her his free arm to help her out of the pond and onto the bank. #GetchuADangerousManThat’sAGentleman

Din, ever interested and respectful of other people’s cultures/ways of life, pays rapt attention when Omera explains to him how to farm krill and the history behind it. He is absolute shit at it, but he’s as wiling a student as Omera is a teacher. It’s more than one krill that he accidentally squishes instead of carefully opens them for their blue dye (he gets a little better at it when he shucks his gloves); he gets blue dye stains on his beskar (when a blue stain hit him right on his T-visor, he was 0.002sec away from asking Omera if he can just shoot the damn things open); he nearly slips and falls in the pond’s sand; and he even somehow accidentally unravels one of the baskets. 

Also, yes, when he took his gloves off to better open the krill, Omera had to pause to stare at his bare hands. #RepressedVictorianVibes

Din also let her hold onto his bare hand as he helped her up onto the bank. He didn’t let go until she did. #RepressedVictorianVibes

Omera has nothing but high praises and gentle laughter for Din’s trouble trying to farm with her. While Din can’t remember the last time he felt such a fool, but it’s more than worth it to see Omera smile and hear her laugh. 

Omera is too busy one day to go grocery shopping in the village’s nearby market. She’s thinking of another day she can go and it doesn’t cross her mind to ask Din, but he offers freely. Winta begs to go with him so she can show him all her favorite vendors and, in turn, show all her favorite vendors her and her mother’s cool new friend and his baby. Omera thinks this is a great idea and Din can only agree. 

Cue the Most Fearsome Mandalorian Bounty Hunter In The Parsec on his way to a market with a little Winta skipping at his side and swinging his hand (kudos to @plainrea!!) as she leads him into the hubbub; a cooing green baby riding in the basket slung over his vambrace; and a shopping list in that free hand. 

He follows Winta’s lead on where to go to complete their list. He nods at everyone she introduces him to. Some people are curious; all of them are courteous. He never pays with the money Omera sent them with, instead paying with his own money. He tells Winta it’s the least he can do for her mother giving him lodging, but it’s really bc this already feels like this is his family and he hasn’t felt this comfortable since he was last among his covert on Nevarro. 

If his son grasps for something (like he did with the frog family’s tadpole in Season 2), Din lets him get it. Winta may yet feel too shy to ask him for anything yet but he pays attention to how her eyes linger on some ice cream treats (...is there such a thing in Star Wars? Well now there is) and buys some for her. 

On the way back home, Baby Yoda cuddles some fresh lettuce in the basket and falls asleep. Winta stays swinging Din’s hand and eating her ice cream treat. 

Din helps Omera put the groceries up in the house and sets the kids down for an afternoon nap. 

And since Din has gone grocery shopping with the kids...Din has also made dinner for his Clan of 4!! He’s made them a huge pot Mandalorian Tiingilar stew with the spice toned down a bit, as it was their first time trying it out. Omera had a whopping 3 bowls and Din was thinking of 3 ways he could propose to her. 

They don’t...really go on traditional “dates” like other couples in the early stage of their relationship. There’s neither that much to do on Sorgan nor can Din even really go out to eat with Omera. But one of the more special nights was when Din rode them all the way back to the Razor Crest to let Omera have her run of his gun closet. There’s not a firearm she’s not comfortable with and he loves watching her hit every target they set up. Later they sit to watch Sorgan’s moons and stars. 

Din can sew! Whether basic mending or making something entirely from scratch, part of his Mando domestic training was learning how to sew! So when Omera is working on a huge, huge blanket for some neighbors that are new parents, Din sits next to her and takes the other ends with his own sewing kit. He listens in as Omera tells him stories of the 1st blankets and stuffed animals she made for Winta back when she was pregnant with her. 

While they’re sewing the blanket, Din...doesn’t have as many stories of Baby Yoda to share in turn, but he shares his adventures of bounty hunting. Omera listens raptly, as it’s been so long since she’s seen other worlds besides quiet, tranquil Sorgan. Sometimes when Din is describing a particular fight of him and Omera has trouble following, he will move his sewing needles in accordance with the fight to help her visualize the story he tells her.

Omera isn’t that much younger than Din, and so sometimes bending over in the ponds puts a crick in her back and/or neck and harvesting so many krill and weaving so many baskets cramps up her hands. Din learned basic massage techniques as part of his training-it doesn’t do to have sore, achy muscles when one must be a warrior ready to move. 

So he shyly asks Omera permission to massage her hands. Omera consents and when Din takes his gloves off again...she can’t help but stare yet again. She extends her hands to him and Din couldn’t feel more nervous than if he was facing a planet full of Krayt Dragons with neither his beskar nor blaster. But he keeps his hands strong and sure as he works from her wrist to her fingertips. 

It’s just a few days later when she gives him permission for her neck and back. She feels so relaxed that she falls asleep...right up against that place on his chest where the wrap-around of his cape meets the bottom of his helmet. It’s very warm there and she loves that she can feel the vibration and depth of his voice organically in that spot. 

That becomes Omera’s favorite place to lay on him: right where the wrap-around of his cape meets the bottom of his helmet.

Post 7 sentences from your current WIP, and tag 7 people 

Tagged by @retro-jupiter  - thank you so much!

From Iron and Kyber, the sequel to Crossroads:

So Din works, sticking with a shallow depth, only enough to push the ink through her skin. He traces the outline of the stencil first, then fills it in with a steady hand. Never once does he draw the blood of the woman he will marry. She has already shed too much blood for him, for him and their son. She is sure to shed more in the future. The least he can do in these moments is to not take any more, to be as gentle as possible while he brands her with the icon of the animal that had brutalized him to within an inch of his life. The animal that his son had lifted pawing and enraged from the mud, the animal he had killed with a single stab and twist of his knife.

I’m sure a few folks have gotten dozens of these already and I have so much trouble with names and who is who which is even harder when AO3 names don’t match with Tumblr names but what the hell:
