Not all of the people reading your x reader fics have white skin
Just a gentle reminder before you write characteristics that assume whiteness and exclude your black/indigenous/poc supporters-specifically in 'x reader' works.
I love and appreciate writers, but this is a recurring avoidable issue (going on for decades now).
"your dusky pink nipples" "your face turned just as red as his" "he could see the blush on your face" âyour cheeks furiously blushedâ âyour ears burn bright redâ âThe look in your reddened faceâ âyour knuckles white with effortâ âbruised purple against your light skinâ
Describing the physical feeling instead of the visual change helps include your readers while also elevating your writing IMO.
Anyone can say "Your cheeks turned red with embarrassment" or "Your face flushed" but wouldn't you rather say "A burning heat rushed across your face, from your neck to the tip of your nose, prickling right underneath the surface. You look anywhere but him, hoping your newfound interest in the buildings ceiling tiles will ease the fire tightening beneath your skin" And instead of the other character pointing out that the readers face is red, they can point out the obvious flustered facial expression/body language.
If you want your reader insert to have white/fairskin, then just label them white!reader or put the mention in the warnings/summary.
âŞI have reached out to writers I favored/supported before and sometimes I have been met with severe hostility and defensiveness. I often wonder if people are doing this purposefully or for some reason think only white people read their fanfics (?)-if that's the case then be upfront and label your reader inserts as white!reader or something PLEASE. Itâs gotten to the point where I feel like black women and other POC arenât wanted or considered in these fandoms because it comes off like that in your writing. If you need a different motivation, just know you're missing out on more interactions, reblogs, and a bigger reader base. I donât know why white is the default for so many writers in unspecified x reader/reader insert fics-the people on your blog following, reading, and supporting you arenât all white and fair-skinned.
I am not talking about OC fics or fics where race/skintone is x specified in summary or warnings. This is specifically about unspecified "x reader" where whiteness is assumed as the default
Put in the comments good replacements for writers to use!
Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.
have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.
and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.
black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.
if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.
This is Juneteenth.
white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

A/N: It appears I am unable to write a threesome under 9k words. This fic was born from a sweet ask by @eyecandyeoz who asked if I'd ever write a Thrawn x Reader x Maul fic. I felt inspired, so I did!
If someone had told you that the last two men you fucked would be sitting in the same room as you, you wouldâve laughed. It was improbable - impossible even, to even comprehend that it could happen.
But if you can just keep calm, keep this charade going, then maybe, just maybe - you could get through this without the connection being detected.
Or - After the Chimaera picks up a rogue ship, you find yourself face-to-face with a piece of your past that youâve tried so desperately to leave behind.
âââ
The red lights flashed in the hallways, the alarm blaring above your head as you rushed towards the shipâs hanger. The Chimaera had recently locked on a ship that had appeared suddenly out of hyperspace, locking onto it with its tractor beam.
Grand Admiral Thrawn had been in this sector for a few days now, on the lookout for something or someone, though he had not divulged his intent. You had thought it was rebels, but that was before this level of alarm was raised, notifying something far more sinister.
There was already a huddle of bodies when you arrived, gathered outside the transparisteel window looking out into the hangar. The air was buzzing with worried conversation as they stood together, the screeching of metal barely audible from the other side of the wall.
But the sounds fell silent as another set of footsteps echoed down the hall, coming from the shipâs commander, Grand Admiral Thrawn.
You slid into position with the others as he stood in front of you, the Vice Admiral walking forward to give a status report. Using the brief distraction, your eyes flicked over to see what set off the alarm. And it was worse than you could have imagined, a personal punch to your guts.
Your stomach sank into nothing as you gazed at The Nightbrother, blaster fire scoring the wings of the gauntlet starfighter. A ship you never thought youâd see again, and you wonder if itâs captain is also the one from your nightmares.
It was hard to breathe for a moment, the blood pounding in your ears as you stepped closer, seeing the figure in the middle of the room. Bright, blinding flashes of red swiped through the air, the screams of the troopers muted as your knees threatened to buckle.
âThatâs Darth Maul.â One of the captains breathed, fear flickering in his eyes.
âFormerly, as I understand it.â Grand Admiral Thrawn reflected none of the fear, and was instead gazing at the thrashing figure in interest instead.
Maul was mowing down the few figures unfortunate enough to be in proximity of his ship, limbs cleaved from bodies as troopers fell to the floor. The alarm had already cleared the soldiers nearest to the edge, a few lucky enough to make it through the blast doors before they locked again.
It was impossible to hear his growls through the transparisteel, but you felt like you almost could, your eyes zeroing in on the pull of his lips, seeing the way his teeth ground together. His hand shot out suddenly and curled, but nothing happened.
The trooper just out of reach continued to fire, Maulâs lightsaber parrying each red flash away. Then one was bounced back, and the man crumpled to the ground, lying motionless.
âThe Ysalamiri will weaken him. Vice Admiral, ready your troops to subdue our guest.â Thrawn shot a quick nod towards his junior officer.
A small squad of Troopers lined up to enter the hanger, blasters clutched in their hands. The Vice Admiral reached for the control panel, while the blood continued to pound in your ears. You couldnât let them, it wasnât safe.
âStop!â You cried out, taking a step forward. âYouâll be slaughtered, he doesnât need the Force-â
The words caught in your throat as you realize your mistake. All eyes were on you, including a deep red set, sizing you up after your unexpected outburst.
You sucked in a breath, squaring your shoulders, âMy apologies, sir. What I meant to say is, please send me in instead.â
The curiosity in his eyes flickered from the stalking figure, then back to you, âYou said my Troopers would be slaughtered. Sending in my unarmored Captain would appear to guarantee a slaughter as well. Would it not?â
Maker, you wish you had never gotten up this morning. This part of you was supposed to be buried, hidden so deep that no one would ever find it.
âYes, Grand Admiral.â You nodded in agreement, before amending, âTypically yes, but I-â
You broke off, throat going dry as your tongue swiped over your dry lips. The breath you took is shaky, but you try again, âBut I know him, sir. And⌠I donât think heâll kill me.â
The room is silent, eyes judging, probing, narrowing as the crew murmurs amongst themselves. The only eyes youâre looking at are Thrawnâs, and youâre sure he can read your face, the set of your jaw, the darkening of your cheeks and ear tips.
You wanted to apologize, but you donât know what for. Not for trying to save a life, but for⌠past actions, for the old you that you thought was long gone.
A beat passed before he nodded, gesturing towards the door. You moved forward, standing in front of the blast doors, closing your eyes for a moment as you took a deep, calming breath.
âSo full of surprises, ch'acin't.â His voice hissed low and smooth in your ear as he stepped behind you, his arm reaching across to key the door.
You didnât look back as you stepped through, one hand gripping your standard-issue blaster while the other ripped the kepi from your head.
The Ysalamiri cage was set towards the center of the room, and that just may be what saved you. Maul flung a sharp shaft of metal in your direction the second you moved inside, a prickle running up the back of your neck, giving you the split second to roll to the side.
Another piece flew toward you, and this time youâre ready, jumping to your feet and sprinting towards a row of crates in front of you, just managing to dive behind them before he could volley another attack.
âMaul!â You yelled, voice somehow strong, in spite of how you were feeling.
The figure was in a low crouch, another bit of ripped metal clenched in his fist. He hesitated for just a second, giving you time to clamber to your feet, holding out a hand in front of you.
âMaul, please.â You put as much feeling as you could in those two words, your eyes locking with his the instant that you stood.
You watched the progression flicker in his eyes - burning anger, hesitant curiosity, and then recognition. He still moved like a cat, all fluid motion as he stood, the fist lowering as his lip curled up. His eyes burned into yours, the gold and crimson tones seeming to glow against the whites of his eyes.
Then, he smiled. Itâs chilling, the stretch of lips and sharp teeth, a quick peek of tongue. His voice, the smooth, honeyed tone that still echoed in your dreams rung out, the years seeming to melt away in your mind.
âYou looked better in black, my dear.â
âââ
His eyes never leave your form for long during his short conversation with Thrawn, the tips of your ears burning as you clutch your wrinkled cap in your hands. Maulâs eyes arenât the only ones, it seems like everyone in the room is sending glances your way, wondering why so many were slain, while you were spared.
His saber had been handed over as he entered the room, a small comfort for those in immediate reach, with the promise it would be returned to his ship in exchange for his cooperation.
Then, Thrawnâs voice was cutting into your thoughts, pulling you back out, âSo itâs settled, you will accompany us to my office, where you will be questioned and then released. Satisfactory?â
âVery well.â Maul nodded thoughtfully, all loose ease and casual arrogance despite the situation.
âExcellent. Captain, with me.â Heâs gesturing towards you to follow as the troopers urged Maul forward while giving him a wide berth.
You blinked, stuck to the spot for just a moment before you made your legs move to follow. Knowing Thrawn, you should have known better than to think your job was done. The man had a hunger and curiosity for knowledge that was almost insatiable, and right now you were dangling the potential for something far more interesting than he had anticipated.
Escorted by Troopers, the three of you found yourselves in Thrawnâs office, guards stationed outside the heavy blast doors, ready to react if needed.
In the middle of the room sat Thrawnâs command chair, surrounded on almost all sides by displays. Off to each side sat arrays of tables, benches, and chairs, each situated in their own pods, lined up with the artwork on the walls.
âSit, please.â Thrawnâs tone is polite, as if everything before had not just happened, as if there isnât someone, somewhere, mopping blood up off the floor of the hangar.
You moved slowly, waiting until Maul had chosen the table to the side before joining him, sitting opposite on the padded, durasteel chair. If you didnât know Thrawn, you wouldâve said he was stupid. But he believed in knowing your enemy, so perhaps he knew things about Maul that made him feel safe enough to be enclosed with him like this.
âI hope youâre not expecting to detain me long, Grand Admiral. My shipâs rigged with explosives, I will not hesitate to use them if I feel youâre going back on your word.â Maulâs voice was low and smooth, his words a threat but his tone a picture of politeness as he kicked a leg up, heel resting on the seat below a bent knee.
âI see no pointâ, Thrawn replied easily. âIf you destroy your ship, how will you escape?â
âIâd rather see it destroyed than in the Empireâs hands, Grand Admiral. Maybe even take a piece of your ship with it. Would be a shame to see that pretty paint on the bottom destroyed.â
Thrawnâs eyebrows raised, the corner of his lips twitching as he considers, âI believe this to be mutually beneficial, I have no intention of detaining you. Just a few questions.â
âThen by all means, begin.â Maulâs arms mirrored Thrawnâs, crossing his arms over his chest.
âWe will skip over the pleasantries then, at your request.â Thrawn rotated his chair to face the two of you, forearms resting on either side of the armrests, âIâve been observing you for a while, youâve been spotted with a few members Iâve taken an interest in.â
âHave you now?â Maulâs eyes glinted in the evening sun, the beams sliced into horizontal lines across his face by the blinds covering the viewport, âI am assuming you mean the Rebels, but no. I am visiting an old friend in the Tatoo system.
He pauses, eyes narrowing as he confesses, âI did pursue one Ezra Bridger at one point, but my attention has been turned elsewhere.â
The Grand Admiral considered his response, while your clammy hands smoothed over the fabric of your trousers. Youâd never thought youâd find yourself in this situation. It was difficult to keep your breathing level, you could feel a drop of sweat beading at your brow as you tried to keep your face looking politely interested.
If someone had told you that the last two men you fucked would be sitting in the same room as you, you wouldâve laughed. It was improbable - impossible even, to even comprehend that it could happen.
But if you can just keep calm, keep this charade going, then maybe, just maybe - you could get through this without the connection being detected.
âI have no quarrel with The Chimaera.â Maul continued, laying his hands flat on the table. âI donât appreciate being delayed, but Iâm not interested in whatever youâre organizing.â
âPerhaps.â An answer you had heard before, an answer meaning he was not convinced, and wanted to dig deeper.
âDo you have any knowledge of where the Rebels are heading?â Thrawn asked a second question, his eyes zeroed in on Maulâs, looking for any sign of deception.
It was wrong, so fucking wrong, but you could feel your stomach clench needily as they stared each other down, a sort of dominating aura heating the air around both of them.
âI do not.â Maul leveled a look, annoyance flickering in his voice, âI last saw them on Dathomir, but they wouldâve moved on by now. My interest in them died on that planet, and I have not thought of them since.â
âA final question, then.â Thrawnâs fingers tapped absently on the desk, his eyes sweeping over to you, âWhat is the nature of your relationship with my Captain? I am certain she is the reason for your accommodating behavior.â
Well, this was it. Your life, over. The secrets that you kept, buried deep inside were about to be uncovered, and you didnât know if Thrawn would still want you after he learned of your dishonesty. Surely heâs guessed by now, or had a clue, but it wasnât the same as hearing the truth come from Maulâs taunting voice.
âIsnât it obvious?â Maulâs smile was rueful, his blazing eyes landing on you as well. When neither of you answered, he clucked his tongue while shaking his head.
âHas she never mentioned me?â He made a face of mock disappointment, âNever mentioned her Master?â
Thrawnâs brows creased, a brief hesitation flickering across his features, before a look of satisfaction as he understood.
âA pity.â Maul smirked, his voice a low drawl, âShe was well on her way to becoming my apprentice. Did she mention that?â
âMy Captain has never displayed the temperament or ability that I would associate with a Sith,â Thrawn countered, his voice taunting. But you knew he knew, and was prying for information, âAre you sure you are not mistaken?â
âSith thrive on emotions, Grand Admiral. Anger and hate, yes, but thereâs more, things you couldnât dream of. Passion, for one.â Maulâs voice grew low and sweet, practically a purr, âAnd ours burned for days. Do you remember that, darling?â
Your face heated as his words, but you grit your teeth as you glanced down, âToo many cycles have passed, I must have forgotten.â
Maulâs chuckle was dark, rumbling from his chest with a bright flash of teeth, âNot that many, you must be slipping. Tell me, my dear⌠do you need another lesson? Surely you remember our last-â
Your eyes shot to his, your eyebrows pulling together as you snarled, âThatâs enough.â
The Grand Admiral turned in his chair and you froze, for a split second your anger had clouded your vision, rendering Thrawn invisible. You were furious, how dare he tease you after what happened?
âI was never a Sith,â You spat, unable to help yourself. âMaul was training me using the power of the dark side, but I never believed their antiquated point of view.â
âExplain, Captain.â Thrawn gestured towards you before folding his arms across his chest again.
âI⌠lost my home when I was younger. I had no money, and I was constantly on the run as a young adult. I found myself wrapped up with the Crimson Dawn.â Your eyes were trained on the table as you tried to pair your history down the bare bones, the anger still simmering under your skin.
âI was a low-level mercenary, picking up jobs where I could. It was good, I stayed alive, started to build a life for myself. But then, I caught Maulâs attention.â It was like there was a magnet in the room, your eyes drawn automatically to the Zabrak.
âHe said he could sense⌠something in me, and he took me under his wing. I started training in the Force, became his Apprentice. And then it got uh-,â Clearing your throat, your mind raced, but there wasnât a good way to put it, âIt got... complicated.â
Both men were silent, incredibly enough, waiting for you to continue. If anything, Maul looked slightly bored, already aware of this new development. But Thrawn was entranced, his finger curling under his chin as his suspicions were confirmed.
âWe⌠fought. The night before. Maul wasnât happy with my progression, and I was frustrated for my own reasons. The next morning, he was gone, called on a mission from her.â Your eyes unfocused, remembering as you spoke, âAnd, he never came back. There was a power vacuum in his absence, and I got out while I could.â
âNever came back?â Maul voice cut in, interrupting you like he couldnât help himself, âSuch a sad tale. Did you hear where I ended up, darling?â
You opened your mouth to speak, but he cut you off again, âI was on Malachor, for years. All alone, no contact to the outside world. Did you even look for me?â
It was hard to breathe, his accusation stinging. You.. hadnât. You hadnât looked, too caught up in your own grief to consider he was trapped, not gone.
âI d-didnt-â, He cuts you off again, lip curling.
âOh, donât play games, love. Itâs in the past, but donât act like youâre the only one who was wronged. Youâre resourceful, you could have found me if you really wanted.â He tapped his forehead, and again, he was right.
Your heart twists, thinking about this change of events, that maybe youâd gotten this all wrong. You thought heâd left you for something new and better, disappearing to a new world, with a new partner. Not that it changed anything, you couldnât go back, not now.
âBack to the matter at hand, Captain.â Thrawnâs unamused voice broke your staring contest, chastising you for the brief argument.
You blinked, finding your place again in your story, âI stopped using the Force after that. I stopped intentionally, but when I tried later, it wouldnât come back. I still feel something, sometimes. A flicker, or a feeling. But not like it used to be.â
Thrawnâs eyes are on you, you can feel their weight from your position. You know heâs thinking about the mission just a few weeks ago, when you had successfully helped locate the Rebelâs base on Atollon. That had also been a hunch, one that led to a promotion, and a small task force of your own.
âYour paperwork from the Academy did not reflect these sordid details, Captain.â Thrawn sounds amused more than annoyed, a slight tug curving the edge of his lips.
âYou looked at my paperwork?â Your eyes bounced to his. As an Ensign, you had assumed you were randomly assigned with, at most, the Lieutenant above you looking over your credentials.
âBut of course. Your marks were exemplary.â
Your cheeks darkened with the compliment, âThe admission papers were fake, but the work I did at the Academy was real. What better way to hide than to become a cog in the wheel? No one found me, and Iâve worked hard for the Empire since.â
But then something was dawning on you, a horrible realization. This could change everything, the life youâve built, all your hard work - youâd have to start over again.
âA-Are youâŚâ Your voice wavered, eyes searching his crimson ones, âAre you going to turn me in?â
And he looked at you, a beat too long to be entirely comfortable, his face flat and passive as he considered.
âNo,â He finally answers, eyes darkening, âI donât think I will.â
He smiled afterwards, though not at you. At himself, enjoying a private joke that only he knew. It was the smile of a man that kept his own secrets.
âNot unless you give me a reason.â He finished, the answer more of an understanding than a threat.
There was no reason to threaten, and as much as you dreaded it, he knew that youâd want him safe above all others in the ship. And this worked in his favor - having Ruhk do his bidding was one thing, but this was another thing entirely.
But it might all be for nothing.
âI, canât, uh-â Your eyes fell on Maul, on the heat in his eyes as he gazed at you. Maker, you hated him sometimes. Half the time you didnât know it you wanted to hit him or fuck him.
His look made your stomach clench, heat rushing to your belly and making your lower half throb as his eyes skimmed down your form. You swallowed, trying again, âI canât use the Force anymore though. I wonât be of much help to you.â
âTry.â Thrawnâs tone was flat, unimpressed with your confession.
You knew it was useless, but did as he asked, closing your eyes and reaching out with your mind and soul.
There was something, a presence deep within you, but it was just out of reach, slipping through your fingers like smoke. You made a grab for it again in your mind, but it danced away from your closing fingers.
âI canât.â You shook your head, shoulders shrugging.
âMay I?â Maul asked, shifting toward.
Thrawn nodded slightly, and before you could blink Maulâs hand moved, cupping behind your neck as he yanked you suddenly to him. Your mouth collided with his, his lips pressed against yours, soft and warm, His tongue was hot as it traced over the seam of your lips, and then you could feel it, a tugging in your gut, the slightest hint of an old, familiar spark igniting.
The room felt bright, as if the sun was shining directly through the transparisteel, though it had already set. It took you a moment to find yourself and you shoved yourself back with a glare.
Thrawnâs head was tilted up, examining the lighting above. His head moved down to look at Maul, gesturing vaguely above, âWas that your work?â
Maul shook his head, one corner of his lips curving up into a satisfied smirk.
âIn that case,â Thrawn leveled a look at you, âAgain.â
âWhat?â You breathed out, brows pinching in confusion.
âAgain. Donât make me repeat myself.â
Maulâs lips were on yours again before you could process the Grand Admiralâs words, His tongue stroking yours as his thumb stroked the column of your neck. A low whine slid between your lips as he nipped at your lip, and this time it was your hands reaching to hold him to you.
The bright lights came again, flickering before becoming blinding, and this time you cracked your eyelids open. The lighting above was impossibly bright, some sort of power increasing their strength.
You sucked in a breath, breaking the kiss as the lights powered down to their normal luminosity. The fluttering in your chest died as the room returned to normal.
âAs I said before, full of surprises.â Thrawnâs voice was low and rough, and when your eyes met his you saw the hunger in them, âBut it appears you require more intense stimulation.â
Thawn was leaning back in his chair, his hand steepled as his elbows sat on the arm rests. His head jerked almost imperceptibly towards the long, wide bench a few feet in front of him.
It felt like a trap, and you wondered for a long moment what the punishment would be. But you dutifully moved to the bench, perching on the edge as your heart pounded, fingers absently your rubbing kiss-swollen lips. Maulâs already up, his legs moving until heâs next to you, a leg swinging around easily to straddle the bench.
He doesnât need to be told anything twice, his hands are hooked under your thighs and heâs pulling you, tugging your thighs over his. Your legs draped over his, and you can feel the smooth metal under his robes as his arms wrapped around, tugging you close again.
âHow far do you think heâs going to let me go?â Maulâs voice was low and smooth as his mouth dropped to your neck, and you shivered as he bit down, your hands clinging to the front of his robes.
âAs far as it takes.â The reply came a little too quickly, but masked in a cool and smooth tone.
You felt his sly smile against your skin, and your hands started to work on the front of your uniform, tugging the buttons free from your jacket and shirt as his hands dropped to your belt.
Maul reached to help you, his dexterous fingers whipping the belt through their loops, popping the button. Your legs were wobbly as you lifted them to remove your pants, leaving them in a heap on the floor.
âA Grand Admiral and the leader of the Crimson Dawn. You do have a penchant for authority, little dove.â Thrawn observed, his voice like silk.
Before he finishes, Maulâs fingertips are digging into your hips, biting into your skin as he tugs the scrap of silk down your thighs to join your pants.
âI see that look in your eyes, darling. Are you wet for me already?â
You tried to shoot him a look, but he wasnât wrong. Itâs not worth lying anyways, not when your body betrays you, your slit slick with arousal and clit throbbing with need.
Maulâs hands tugged at you as he leaned back on the long, padded bench. You wound up straddling his chest, your bare pussy pressing against the tattooâd planes of muscle.
âRide my face, love, please.â Maulâs deep voice turned into a whine, his hands tugging at you again, âBeen too long since I got to taste you.â
Thrawnâs lip twitched at the other manâs words, his eyes flicking away and out the viewport before returning.
âOh, Grand Admiral.â Maulâs eyes missed nothing, his tone knowing, almost condescending, âHave you never begged before? I feel sorry for you.â
Thrawnâs crimson eyes snapped to Maulâs golden ones, his brows creasing the tiniest bit, lips pulled tight at the edges.
âA Grand Admiral never begs.â His response is clipped, gritted out between clenched teeth.
âPity. Is it your pride that prevents you, or is it your need for control?â Maul smirked, âLet go of both. Youâll thank me later.â
âIt is neither,â Thrawnâs voice was tense, his agitation flashing for just a split second in his eyes. âMy Captain enjoys serving the Empire and myself.â
âHave you ever asked, Grand Admiral?â Maulâs brow lifted, and then heâs reaching for you again, his tugging more insistent when no reply comes.
âShow him, darling. Show him the you that I know.â
You slowly lower yourself down to Maulâs mouth, and his tongue is reaching for you before youâre fully seated, a groan leaving both of your lips as it flicks up your slit.
Your eyes rolled shut as you moaned, thighs bucking as he sucked on your clit, the pleasure spiking in your core. When your eyes opened again you found him watching you, his irises darkened with a familiar lust.
âSweetest cunt in the galaxy.â Maul murmured as his tongue licked you, tongue parting your folds to taste your slick.
âFinally, a matter we agree on.â Thrawnâs tone was flat as he adjusted himself, palm passing over the front of his trousers as he sat back in his chair.
Your hands slid across Maulâs forehead, the juncture of your fingers sliding against the familiar curves of his horns. Your mind may have forgotten this, but your muscle memory did not, slotting the soft curves of your fingers against the hard bone, finding the perfect hand-holds to grip onto.
âIf you want to fuck me, youâll have to make me cum first.â Your voice is pitched low, a growl of your own matching his, âEarn my cunt, Maul. Use that sweet tongue of yours.â
You could hear the sharp intake of breath, but you donât look at Thrawn as your hands tighten, your shoulders curling back as Maul doubled his efforts.
He ate you greedily, his hands hooked around your thighs to hold you against him, his mouth hot and wet and open against you. Maul wasnât quiet either, his throat humming, almost purring as he feasted, as if you were a meal, and he hadnât eaten in days.
Your hips flexed on their own, trying to grind down, feeling his nose nudge your clit as his tongue slipped into you. It was familiar, the way his tongue fucked you, the rhythm of your hips as you rocked against him. The way your breath was turning into a whine as he moved back to your clit, lapping roughly and sucking on the bud.
Your hips bucked when he scraped a sensitive spot, Maulâs arms gripping your thighs tighter as your grip tightened on his horns. Then he did it again, bringing you closer to the edge with each dexterous flick of his tongue.
âStars, you look so good under me.â Your voice is wrecked and breathy, the dominant side of you laying dormant for years, the words harder to get out after so much time had passed, âYour face was made for me to ride, you know that? Should keep you right here like this.â
Thrawnâs eyes were on you, utterly entranced as he watched you fuck someone else, their tongue buried in your cunt and moaning at your words. His pretty, blue lips were parted almost unconsciously, the heavy bulge in his pants making you keen as the feeling in your core tightened.
You put on a bit of a show as he watched you, your eyes half-lidded, needy moans sliding from your throat. Pushing yourself up on your knees, you reached your hand back, back arching as you slid your palm over Maulâs clothed cock. He moaned at the contact, and you let him chase your cunt, a string of slick connecting your soaked folds to his damp lips, before he tugged you back down with a deep growl.
âI-Iâm, fuck, Maul, Iâm close,â Your eyes moved down to meet Maulâs, your pussy clenching as you saw the way he was gazing at you, like you had hung the stars yourself. âMake me cum, so fucking good for me-â
Maul moaned, starting a rhythm that makes you dizzy, the air filled with the wet, lewd sounds of him eating you, paired with your loud cries. One of his hands leaves your thighs, traveling up to your breastband, grabbing and squeezing your chest, roughly groping at your soft flesh. He tugged at one of the cups, freeing your breast on one side as his fingers work your aching, stiff nipple.
âAre you going to cum, Ch'acin't?â Thrawnâs voice was a low hiss, as if he wasnât fully conscious he was saying it out loud, âSoak a manâs face who isnât mine?â
Your eyes traveled back to Thrawn, laughter threatening to bubble up in your throat as you saw how close he was to breaking, his hands curled into fists, his jaw set while his eyes blazed with heat.
Maul sucks on you again and then youâre coming undone, praises falling from your lips as you cum hard on his face, whimpering as he licks at your release. A shudder wracked through your body as your hands dropped, fingers digging into the seat as wave after wave of pleasure radiated through your limbs.
The moan you make is loud and long, pitching up at the end as he continues to taste you, until youâre shaking above him and overstimulated. In the haze of your orgasm, as you start to come back down, you felt the walls in your mind splinter, but it still held firm as you reached out to them again.
âRide my cock now, darling, please.â Maulâs voice was a plea, his hips shifting on the bench, âWant to feel you wrapped around me.â
You slid backwards off his chest, his hands grasping your hips as your ass bumped against the hard curve in his pants. Maulâs head lifted, and your mouth met as you tasted yourself on his tongue, his hips grinding as his hand drifted up your waist, up your ribs until theyâre tugging at the bands around your chest, pulling your tits free.
His robes were soft under your fingers, and you tugged the fabric up over his torso, exposing the vast array of ink, the patterns dark and jagged on his red skin. You moved backwards to the hard metal of his thighs as you tugged at his belt and he lifted his hips to help. All the while his fingers drifted down to swirl in your heat before he brought them to his mouth, a low groan as he tasted you again.
But then you were looking at Thrawn, the question in your eyes. He hadnât stopped you yet, but well - this was different, a step further than before.
âGo on, little dove. Show him what youâve learned in his absence.â Thrawn coaxed, his head giving you a short nod as he looked at you with someone almost like pride in his eyes.
You can feel him, hard under your hands as you tug his pants down his thighs, exposing the metal joined to flesh, the same as you had remembered.
âFascinating.â The Grand Admiralâs curious eyes were on Maulâs lower half, looking a beat longer than what was polite. You understood though, you had felt the same all those years ago.
Maulâs lower half was completely synthetic, replicated artfully by the Death Watch some time before the two of you met. Some things you could not manufacture, but they had done their best, the evidence present in the thick, long length under your hand.
His cock was just as you remembered, thick at the base, his shaft tapering slightly before curving at the tip, ridges running up the underside of his considerable length.
You moved further down his legs, settling between his spread knees before ducking your head to lick a stripe up his metallic shaft. Maulâs hips bucked into you, his back arching off the bench with a groan.
He was too long for you to take all of him, so you settled on licking the tip, feeling the cool metal and the ridges under your tongue as you ran it up and down his shaft. Curses fell from his tongue when you took him as deep as you could, only taking half of him before your throat closed around the tip, making yourself gag.
Maulâs head was thrown back, hips bucking up as you held his hips down against the bench. Pulling your mouth back when he shifted upwards, letting him thrust into the air, waiting until he settled before taking him in your mouth again. You did this a few times, before you heard him whimper, his hands closing around your biceps and squeezing.
âDonât tease, or it will be over before it begins.â Thrawn chided, and you smiled at his need to instruct.
Swinging a leg around, you straddled Maul backwards, his hands settling on the curve of your hips as you lined yourself up. You hesitated, glancing back over your shoulder at Maul, meeting his wrecked gaze, the curve of his lips as you hover just above him.
âIs he thick as I am, love?â Maul bucked up suddenly, his tip pressing into your folds as you both moaned, âCan he reach that sweet place in you? Make you cum from his cock alone, like I could?â
Thrawn growled a warning, his hands clenching on the arm rests as you began to lower your hips, spearing yourself on Maulâs cock.
Going slowly, you eased yourself down, the moans caught in your throat until you finally sat flush with his hips. He was filling you, pressed deeply inside, each move you made sending waves of pleasure. Your hands rested on his thighs, and you used them to push yourself up, before dropping back down, earning moans from both of you.
He met you thrust for thrust, snapping up to meet you with every rock of your hips. Maulâs hands kneaded the flesh of your ass, spreading you to watch the way your lips gripped him, making his cock shine with your arousal.
It was heavenly, but you wanted more. You wanted to be filled, fucked until you forgot your anger, forgot everything, too cock-dumb to think anymore.
âGrand Admiral,â your voice was low, coaxing as you reached for him.
Thrawn gave you a long, thoughtful look before his fingers plucked at the clasps of his jacket, his broad shoulders flexing as he shrugged the garment off, folding it before placing it on the edge of the chair.
Then he stood, moving to the end of the bench in front of you, letting your fingers tug at the belt of his trousers.
Stars, he was hard, possibly harder than youâd ever seen him. His face, as always, was still composed, but there was something in his eyes, a hunger, that made you shiver.
You drew him out, one on your hands steadying yourself on his muscular thigh as Maul almost knocked you off-balance with one of his thrusts. Thrawnâs cerulean-hued cock was flushed at the tip, precum threatening to drip down the curve of his pointed head.
His cock was thick, considerably thicker than Maulâs, but not as long. The tip of the head tapered to a curved point, the ridges underneath leading to where his girth flared deliciously in the middle, eventually tapering back in towards the base. Your hand wrapped around him, watching his stomach muscles tighten as you gave his shaft a slow stroke.
âAsk me.â Your eyes flickered to his, challenging him with your gaze.
He hissed in a breath, teetering on the edge, a curiosity gnawing deep in his bones. You nuzzled the skin at his abdomen, dragging your tongue just above the base of his cock, the heavy weight of his length twitching.
âThrawn,â You murmured his name, gazing at him as you moved your lips close to his dripping tip. âYou want to fuck my mouth, right? Canât you use your pretty words to ask me?â
You were pushing it, and you knew it. For a split second youâd thought youâd won, seeing the way his lips curled over his teeth, the tremor of his hips as he contemplated.
But then his eyes snapped shut, and when they reopened, their crimson tone was blazing.
âYour little show was amusing, but this is my command room.â Thrawnâs voice was thick, almost betraying his brief moment of uncertainty.
His hands tangled in your hair, guiding your face to his cock, and you let him, your mouth opening as the tip slid past your lips.
In some ways, it may have looked like you were unsuccessful. But you had gotten him to hesitate. He had considered letting you take control, in front of a stranger, no less. That was no mere feat.
Youâd laid the foundation tonight, and you were certain the next time the two of you were alone, heâd break.
There was a certain high youâd discovered during your experiments with Maul, making a man beg to cum while you rode him, his pleasure held in the palm of your hand. Thrawn would look so pretty begging, his voice like sin.
You closed your eyes, pushing that thought out to return another day as you sucked on him, taking him deeper into your mouth, stroking him with your tongue.
It was hard to fit all of him in your mouth, you found yourself gagging when Maul thrust up again, Thrawnâs cock slipping further down than expected. Your head jerked back, tears pricking your eyes as Maulâs hands worked your hips, moving you up and down on his cock.
âSuch a foolish girl, thinking you could command me,â Thrawn murmured, his voice low as your mouth moved back to his cock.
Maulâs hands moved to your thighs and he pulled himself up, sitting so his chest brushing your back. His pace slowed, changing from deep thrusts to a slow grind, a hand gripping your hip to keep the rhythm, the other sliding up between your breasts to cup your neck.
He didnât squeeze, the hand curling around your throat, holding your back to his chest in an embrace, thumb smoothing over soft skin.
âTouch me, please.â Your mouth left Thrawn for a moment, looking up at him with heavy-lidded eyes, needing to feel him against you in some way, any way.
The corner of Thrawnâs lips tugged, his large hands coming to cup the weight of your breasts, thumbs rolling over the stiff peaks, just like he knew you liked it. Groping and squeezing, you whimpered against his cock, tongue swiping against his skin.
Maulâs nose skimmed your neck, finding a patch of skin above his thumb with his mouth. The slow pace heâs keeping up was exquisite, each drag grinding and bumping places in you that had you seeing stars, and your hands grip Thrawnâs thighs again when his teeth scraped against you.
âNo marks.â Thrawn warned, voice turning into a groan as you took him deep, your lips stretched around him.
Maul shot him a look, pressing a hot, open-mouthed kiss under your ear instead, feeling the way you clenched around him, your hips shuddering as you lost your rhythm for a moment.
Then, both hands lifted, his fingertips pressing against your temples. You felt the breach into your mind, the thoughts being quickly shifted through and then shuffled like a deck of cards. The cracks in your mind deepen, barely holding the wall together now.
âYou love him.â Maul accused, his fingers dropping, âBut I sense no passion from him. Tell me, cyarâika, does he fuck you as well as I did? Does he make you scream?â
Your breath caught at the old, familiar nickname. It had been so many cycles since you last heard it, a remnant from his days as Mandâalor. Lips parting, you groaned around Thrawnâs cock involuntary as Maul thrusted roughly upwards.
âOne can be passionate without losing control of oneâs emotions.â Thrawn replied easily, his hand coming to cradle your face. His fingers manipulated your jaw, angling so your eyes were brought into contact with his burning gaze again, âI always leave my Captain quite satisfied.â
You whimpered, brows pinching together at the heat of his words. The sensations were too much, being filled at both ends was overwhelming you, your core already coiled tight like a spring. But you kept your eyes on him, allowing him to catalog every moan, every whimper you made.
And then you felt it, a soft brush of fingers, sliding down your mound, stopping to circle at your clit. The sensation made you cry out, clenching down on Maulâs cock, not sure if you wanted to press your thighs together or spread them wider.
But, Thrawnâs hands hadnât moved, and neither had Maulâs, all four hands roaming your skin and wrapped around you. You risked glance away from Thrawn, eyes dropping down, but there was no hand between your legs.
âCan you feel that, love? Did you forget?â The feeling of fingers circle again, rubbing gently at your sensitive bud, while his cock continued to thrust into you.
âYes-â Your head drops against Thrawnâs hip, âMaul, I can feel you. Keep going, please-â
His chuckle was low in your ear, the sound sending shivers up your spine as he picked up the pace of his hips, bringing the slow grind into a faster thrust, his cock hitting your spongy walls again and again. You werenât going to last, the blood was rushing in your ears and each touch to your clit was sending you higher and higher.
âI, I-,â you began to babble, and then Thrawn was kneeling, pressing his lips to yours to swallow your moan as you came, his hands tangled in your hair.
The pleasure was blinding, and you came harder than before, your hands braced on Maulâs thighs as you rode him, Thrawnâs lips silky smooth, his tongue stroking yours as you made little whimpers against him.
âYes, let me feel you.â Maul was murmuring into your neck, his voice a low whine, âLet me cum with you, darling, Iâm almost there-â
His hands dropped to your hips, getting three more slow thrusts before his chest was pressing into your back, his pretty groan cracking through the air as he came, grinding into you as he rode out the sensation.
Your lips had broken away from Thrawnâs, your face was buried in his neck as his hand smoothed down your arm. Only when your breathing slowed did he speak, pulling back so he could see you.
âI was promised screams.â Thrawnâs tone was laced with mock disappointment as his hand rose, a finger tracing the curve of your lips, âIs that really the best you can do?â
Maul scoffed from his prone position, his hand resting on his chest as it rose as it fell, âIâve made her come undone twice while you lounged. You tell me.â
âMy turn.â Thrawnâs hands are around your biceps, yanking you up and off of Maulâs cock. You yelped at the feeling of emptiness, surprised by his sudden show of strength.
He carefully spun you around, settling your knees on either side of Maulâs hips, your hands bracketing his shoulders, leaving the two of you face to face.
Thrawnâs hands sank into the flesh of your hips, pushing and holding you steady, unable to move forwards or backwards. You could feel the pointed tip of his cock slide against your folds, but he didnât press into you, not yet.
âWhat was it you said before, little dove? Oh, yes. âAsk meâ.â
You made a frustrated sound, trying to push back against him, but he held you firm. He made a sound of disapproval, sliding his cock further down until it bumped your clit, before moving back up.
âLet us hear you beg.â Maul coaxed alongside, his hand cupping your jaw, âI want to hear it too, before he makes you fall apart.â
âF-Fuck me, Thrawn, please.â You tacked on the âpleaseâ at the end, knowing how much he liked politeness.
âTry again, ch'acin't.â His voice was smooth, he was enjoying this, âThat is not how I taught you to ask. Descriptors, please.â
Oh, so thatâs how it was going to be. He was going to make you work for it. You sucked in a breath through closed teeth, your mind picking out your next words.
âPlease fuck me, Grand Admiral. Need to feel your cock in me,â Your face burned, eyes focusing on anything other than Maulâs face in front of you. âI want to feel you for days afterwards.â
âVery good.â His voice was a low hiss, his hips pulling back as he lined himself up with your opening, âIf your wish is to be ruined, then who am I to deny you?â
Then he was pushing into you, the tip sliding in easily, but then you were moaning as his shaft started to swell in the middle, slowing his pace as you felt each delicious ridge rub against you. Thrawn kept a steady pressure, his breath slow and steady as he continued to push, watching as your pussy stretched to accommodate him, swallowing him up.
Your arms buckled as he seated himself fully in you with a final thrust, your stomach hitting the smooth metal of Maulâs hips and groin. His cock had retracted sometime in the last few minutes, the opening mechanism lying flush and nearly invisible against his prosthetics.
Maulâs hands brushed down your arms as you struggled to push yourself up on your elbows, your back arching to keep your hips in place where they were, snug and flush with Thrawnâs.
âRest against me, love. Itâs okay.â He purred, letting your chest relax against his, your breasts pressing into his hot skin.
You relented, your head dropping to his collarbone as Thrawn made an experimental thrust, the short, slow drag drawing a moan from your lips. He was so thick and big, something you still werenât used to, your thighs trembling as he repeated the action.
The curve and gentle point of his cock caught and dragged within you, bumping against your spongy walls, the swell of his girth pulling himself back into you every time he rocked back.
âSo tight, made to take me.â He drew back further this time, seeing his cock slick and wet with your arousal. Then, he was gripping you, pulling you back to meet his rough thrust, sheathing himself in you as you cried out.
Maulâs hands wrapped around your back, holding you steady as Thrawn hooked his long fingers around your hips, pulling you to meet each of his thrusts. They were shorter and quicker now, and his hips circled and ground against yours with every stroke. Each loud slap against your hips, each bump against your inner walls had you crying out, the pressure building and building in your guts.
âI can feel you, little dove. You grip me so exquisitely when youâre close, thereâs nothing comparable.â Thrawnâs voice was pitched low, the praises slipping from him, âI want to hear my name on your lips when you fall apart.â
You whimpered at his words, your face pressed into Maulâs neck, your arms wrapped under him, nails biting into his shoulder blades for support. Being trapped between the two of them was almost too much, your senses overwhelmed. There were too many hands touching and groping your flesh, their pretty, jewel-tones contrasting with your skin.
âDonât hold back, darling.â Maul groaned with him, his hand working its way between you to cup your breast, relishing in your moan when his fingernail scraped across your sensitive nipple. His other arm stayed looped over your waist, keeping you pressed tightly against him.
Thrawnâs hand left the swell of your ass, his body arching over you as he leaned forward. The cords of muscle in his arms flexed as he reached, extending his fingers until they pressed against your parted lips.
âSuck.â
You opened your lips wider, letting him push one digit, and then two inside, sucking on his fingertips. Groaning, your eyes slid closed as your lips wrapped around them, humming in disappointment when he withdrew then a moment later. But those feelings evaporated when his hand curved under your hip, his slicked fingers brushing against your clit, making you buck back against him.
âOh, fuck, Thrawn-â Your head was turned sideways, one eye focusing on the figure behind you.
He was beautiful, strands of hair coming loose, spilling across his forehead, teeth gritting as he rutted into you. Thrawnâs cool, intelligent, eyes were wild, his mouth falling open into a low groan as you involuntarily clenched around him. Youâd never seen him like this, this fierce before, his eyes flashing when he noticed you looking at him.
âI want you to cum, now. Thatâs an order, Captain,â He gritted out, his hips snapping forward and grinding, pressing himself as deep into you as he could get.
His fingers had gone from light, teasing touches to pressured circles, and you couldnât help but rock against him, using all your strength to push against Maulâs grip. You were babbling now, so close to breaking, nonsense falling from your lips as Maul moved beneath you until he could reach your neck, pressing hot kisses to your flushed skin.
ââSâgood, Grand Admiral. Iâm so close, Iâm-â Your voice cracked on a loud wail as your walls tightened on his cock, soaking him with your release. Your body shook with the force of your orgasm, your mind feeling sluggish, your eyesight darkening at the edges as your clit throbbed, your pussy fluttering around him as you gripped his cock.
Thrawn growled behind you, dropping his hand to grip you for leverage. He was pounding into you now, rutting against you now that youâd found your release.
âSo obedient, my ch'acah von'ot.â His voice is strained, his hips starting to stutter as he used you, his cock coated with your cum, âTell me, who can make you cum this hard?â
You could feel Maulâs smile against your neck, the low chuckle in his throat as he heard the desperation in Thrawnâs voice.
You couldnât manage words yet, just a tired whimper. His hand cracked down once on the swell of your ass, drawing a low moan from your throat.
âAnswer me.â Thrawn growled, almost angry but there was something else, a need to hear you say it out loud.
âNo one, just you,â You answered automatically, eyes closing so you wouldnât have to look at Maul. âFuck, Thrawn, you - j-just you.â
Your words are what he needed, and his nails bite into your skin as you feel his cock swell with the next thrust, spilling himself into you while a mixture of basic and Sy Bisti fell from his lips. Praises and curses, woven together and he filled your pussy with thick ropes of his cum, until it was dripping down your thighs.
Thrawn always filled you, leaving you wrecked and cock-drunk, his cum dripping out of you for ages afterwards. His hips shifted as you milked himself dry, clenching yourself around him to take every last drop.
âYou wound me.â Thereâs a whisper in your mind, and your brain suddenly feels clear, your eyes darting to Maulâs. His brow raises, head tilting, âCould you hear me? Iâve been reaching out all night.â
Your breath hitched, understanding the implication. You used to converse like this, thoughts flung into each otherâs minds when it took too long to speak, âYes, I can hear you.â
It was back, youâre not sure when it happened or what caused it - the physical acts themselves, the acceptance of your situation, or where it was when you mind was breeched. But as you concentrated you could feel it - the hum in your veins, the way you felt just a little more sensitive to everything around you. Your eyes found his again, yours soft and tinged with regret, his determined and resolute, âThank you.â
All of this passed in a matter of seconds, and you were brought back to the present as Thrawn withdrew himself, leaving you groaning at the empty feeling. Your legs finally collapsed, and you rested prone on Maulâs form for a long moment as you tried to remember how to make your limbs move.
Thrawn pushed the dark strands of hair back from his forehead, smoothing them back into place. Always looking put-together, even as he leaves you loose-limbed and fucked out on the long bench, unwilling to move just yet.
"Am I to assume your little problem has been resolved?" Thrawn's glance your way was questioning, curiosity tinging his expression.
"Yes, yes it has." You tried to hide the smile, but he caught the look in your eyes at his question. Something like fondness flickered across his features for a split second before he turned his attention to the other man.
âThen, my thanks, Maul. This was not the information I was anticipating, but it was still quite enlightening.â Thrawn was buttoning his jacket, smoothing the hem over his trousers, âI appreciate your assistance.â
Maulâs chuckle was dark as you shifted off on him, wincing as your sticky thighs pressed together as you reached for your clothes. You were a mess, cum already starting to pool in your panties - hopefully youâd be able to clean up soon.
He replaced his robes carefully, eyes wary as he pushed himself to his feet, âIt was my pleasure. I trust there is nothing else I can assist you with?â
âI am a man of my word, Maul.â
You were quick to finish dressing, re-looping your belt, tugging your shirt on, trying to fix your hair the best you could. The two men were waiting by the door as you buttoned your jacket, a heavy silence settling in the room as the blast door whooshed open.
Thrawnâs hand held you back for a moment at the door, his ruby eyes intently scanning yours, âIs what he said the truth?â
As vague as always, as if he expected you knew exactly what he meant. Everything Maul had said was true, and after a moment, you think you did know what he meant. Was he asking about what Maul had said, when he delved into your mind? Or was it something else? It didnât really matter, the answer was the same either way.
âYes.â
He gave you another look, still incomprehensible, but you think you saw a hint of a smirk before he stepped out into the hallway, the bright white lights a stark contrast to his dimmed room.
The troopers on the other side were gone, Thrawn had sent them away some time ago, when the night had taken its interesting turn. The hallways were silent as well, the sound of your footsteps being the only noise as you traveled the path to the hangar. When you reached it, you keyed open the door, following behind both of them into the room.
Thrawn stopped half-way through and you stopped with him, allowing Maul to continue the rest of the way alone. The hangar was empty, the troopers reassigned and the floors smelling of cleaner, making your stomach clench with uneasiness as you remembered earlier that night.
The ramp of the Nightbrother lowered, the bright lights of the interior spilling across the durasteel floor. It was a stupid thing to do, but before you could think, you were stepping out, your legs moving you towards the ramp of the ship. Maul could sense you behind him, turning slowly at the base as he regarded you silently, waiting.
You sucked in a breath, pushing the words out before you could think them through, before you could change your mind.
âMaul, you don't have to go. You could stay here, with me. With us, we could make it work.â Your eyes searched his, soaking up the way his eyes met yours. It was a half-hearted plea, you knew heâd decline, but you couldnât let him go without saying anything.
âYou know I can not. Not with him being out there, not after what happened.â He shook his head, face solemn, âI am glad to see you again, before I go.â
Maul doesnât offer to let you come with him, he knows it would just feel like an insult. Your paths branched here, just like they did have years ago. A brief convergence, before a split that would span a chasm.
He turned again to leave, but then he had a thought, his eyes roving over you one last time as he moved back in front of you.
âI was wrong, my love. Green does suit you.â His hand brushed your shoulder, running over the stiff fabric.
Then his eyes were glancing over your shoulder, at the Grand Admiral standing just within earshot, âBut white would suit you even better.â
And then he was gone. No formal goodbye in a verbal or physical sense. No âthank youâ or a final, passionate kiss, just the movement of a man on a mission. One that could stand to take a detour for an evening, but would be driven towards the same path again and again, until his last breath.
You watched him go, the ship powering up before shooting out of the hanger, disappearing into starlight.
You would not see him again, this time you knew it in your soul. But everyone had their own path, their own destiny. He had found this, wherever it may lead.
And, you think, as you turned to head back to Thrawn - you might just have found yours as well.
