It's done - this is my last Delta Squad Week entry, filling the 14th and thereby last prompt! Thanks for sticking with me, and I apologise for spamming your dash with Delta Squad ficlets today and yesterday! Event masterlist will be up soon (:

DELTA SQUAD WEEK | @deltasquadweek | Day 7: I Love You ART: Day 1 | Day 2 | Scorch Day | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 FICS: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7

Summary: Delta, give me an explosive solution; Scorch is asking the real questions here (AO3) Tags: banter, brotherly love, fluff (SFW) Words: 717 Featuring: RC Boss, RC Scorch, RC Sev, RC Fixer

“Boss?”

Having shore leave as a clone in the Grand Army of the Republic was a rare luxury, especially when you were a commando trained by elite Mandalorian warriors. And although Delta Squad was one of the last true pods out there, which he was very grateful for, Boss would have appreciated some quiet time to catch up with much needed sleep right now.

“Hmm?” came his disgruntled hum, slowly opening his eyes to look Scorch’s way. He could have known his brother was not ready to drift off just yet, since there was simply no stop to his thought process. Scorch laid in his bunk, one knee pulled up and his other arm dangling down the side of his elevated bed. He was staring at the durasteel ceiling right above him, as if he would find his answers there.

“What are you supposed to say to someone you care about?”

Taken slightly aback, Boss’ face wrinkled into a confused expression, since this was the last question he was expecting from Scorch. He rolled his eyes and tugged his blanket over his shoulder as he addressed his brother: “Shut up and grab some sleep.” But instead, Scorch shot upright instantly, balancing his torso on one elbow when he threw a response at the squad leader, faking his gratitude. “Awww, very affectionate, leader-man. But I meant to someone special.. Like, a partner.”

Before he could come up with another response, Sev’s low voice came from the bed below Scorch: “Keldabe kiss them.” Boss should have known the squad’s sniper would pick up anything, even when he was supposedly asleep. Seemed like Fixer was the only one getting some rest at the moment. Scorch curled himself around his bed’s edge, facing Sev upside-down. “I don’t think they’ll appreciate the headbutt-” he started, but Sev didn’t let him finish his sentence. “Affectionately,” he elaborated, and with the word, he kicked his foot against the bunk above him, making Scorch struggle to keep himself from crashing down.

After he regained his balance, he threw an obscene hand gesture at Sev, whilst wittingly returning the sharp bantering: “Oooooooh, I didn’t take you for the affectionate partner.” The cooing tone in Scorch’s voice was not appreciated by Sev, who tossed his blanket from his body, preparing to get physical with his brother. “Let me show you my affection for you,” he sneered, but seeing this coming, Boss was already intervening.

“Stay put, Sev,” he said sternly, “I’m too tired to get up to keep the two of you apart.” Sev grunted in annoyance, but he wouldn’t go against his sergeant. Scorch shot a soft yet teasingly ‘prickly’ at Sev, granting him another dangerous look from Sev, but averted his attention to 38 again. “Boss, some input?” With a deep exhale, Boss relaxed a little, since a physical altercation had been averted – for now, at least. “You could toss in some Mando’a. I bet it would be effective; especially with the ladies.”

With his own eyes closed again, Boss didn’t see the twinkle in Scorch’s eyes, caused by his suggestion. “Oooh I do like the sound of that. Like cyar’ika..,” Scorch tried, staring into the distance without focusing as he spoke the word, as if daydreaming about someone he could call his sweetheart one day. Boss chuckled softly, before giving his own favourite: “Meshla.” It came out like a longing hum, but it drowned in Scorch’s gasp of awe. “You’re a natural, Sarge!”

“I love you.”

Boss frowned when he heard the suggestion from the bunk on top of his, realising Fixer was awake after all. Scorch seemed similarly confused. “What was that?” he yapped, searching for Fixer’s silhouette in the dimly lit barracks. “I love you,” Fixer replied with a sigh, already regretting he had joined the conversation. “Thanks vod, I love you too?” “No, di’kut. Say ‘I love you’ if someone is truly special to you.” “So I’m not special to you?” “You are – on a completely different level.”

A loud snort came from Sev’s bunk, breaking the rising tension. Scorch simply grunted, before addressing all of them: “Well, you are all very special to me, and I love y-.” And simultaneously, in like-minded harmony, the other three Deltas interrupted him, shooting at Scorch: “Shut up.” “Can it, Six-Two.” “Stow it, Scorch.”

I was tempted to give Sev the upper bunk, out of sniping habits - but I needed him to kick Scorch's bunk, so I apologise for military inaccuracies

Summary: Boss, I’ve got a problem here; alone and forsaken on Kashyyyk, Sev remembers his brothers (AO3) Tags: loneliness, being lost, angst (SFW) Words: 376 Featuring: RC Sev

A falling leaf made the calm stream ripple as soon as it touched it, distorting the reflection. As he waited for the water’s surface to calm down again, he noticed the Kashyyykian wildlife around him. It felt weird to get used to their sounds and motions, their habits and routines, but he had never been in one place for as long as he had been here – not since the war had started, at least.

The surface returned to normal, and Sev looked back into the stream, intently staring at the reflection. His hair had gotten longer, and there was stubble on his normally smooth face. He had gained a few scars, too. But he didn’t pay much attention to his own features; it was the face of his brothers he was looking for.

The natural rippling of the stream gave his reflection a determined look, and he thought of Boss. Although they were all capable, they had all accepted his leadership. Sev had never questioned Delta Lead’s choices, and as a commando, he knew orders were orders. He respected their sergeant for taking the right decisions. The continuing rippling slightly altered his reflection again, and for a moment he saw Fixer. His appearance was most similar to a regular trooper’s, but it was unmistakably his squadmate. Practical, pragmatic, pedantic..

P for plenty crossed his mind, and with it, the rippling created a slight deformation right across his face, and it reminded him of a burn mark. He took a deep breath, and exhaled shakingly.

“I dreamed about you, wiseguy,” he whispered to his pod brother Scorch, softly, as if afraid someone out there would hear him. But there was no one around. He knew, because if they had been around, they would have evaced him by now. No, he was utterly and completely alone. His brothers were with him, always; but only in his dreams.

He threw a pebble into his reflection, sick of the empty feeling that emerged inside him whenever something reminded him of his pod brothers. He was created to hunt in a pod, to complete missions with his squad. It was his destiny to be with his brothers. The thought of being alone was the most frightening feeling he had ever encountered.

The premier dark entertainment magazine and fiction market.

Have you all seen this magazine? Sex-positive, dark in tone, lots of articles about dark art and literature, and it’s an up and coming market for horror fiction. 

Plus they posted a positive, rec-ish essay about hannigram fanfiction. I thought it would be up some of your streets, or at least down your back alleys, or something.

Halloweenlock 2015

Now with fancy art (via Krystal Sarcone).

Last week I made an A03 collection for Halloween, spooky, and fall-seasonal Sherlock fanfic, mostly because I wrote a zomblielock ficlet and I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I know you tumblrers love Halloween like nothing else. By “take advantage” I mean “use this as an opportunity to encourage you to art, write, and otherwise be creative.”

The official description:

A themed collection of Halloweenish, spooky, horror, horror comedy, fall-seasonal stories, art, or what have you based on BBC Sherlock, ACD Holmes, or any related Sherlockian works. All additions to this collection are most welcome! All ships and rare pairs welcome.

What YOU can do:

If you think this sounds like fun and you want to play, write the thing. Draw the thing. Post the thing. If you post to A03, add it to the Halloweenlock 2015 collection so we can find it and love on you! If you post it here, tag it “halloweenlock 2015″ so we can find it and love on you!
