On this last Bad Batch Eve I want to say I hope we all have the satisfying ending we're looking for. Last season I wrote much more and had many more requests. Things got harder this season, but I'm still here. Still taking requests. Your favorite clones are all here and well.
Hi everyone. I'm not going anywhere and requests are open, but after the finale yesterday and really hoping to see Tech again, I'm grieving big time. I don't have the energy or brain space to write smut right now. That said, you're welcome to request something and I'll get to it when I'm ready.
To all the fans out there who thought the story was leading to us getting Tech back, to all the fans who really thought the hints about survival in season 2 meant something, I'm right there with you. I'm thinking of you all. Tech will always be there for us even if the show let us down.
I know I have two requests that are sitting in my ask box. I see them and have some thoughts for both of them, it might just take a bit because of life. I want to do them justice and make sure there's enough, you know, detail.
Thanks to @kimageddon for the new pfps! We have Tup for @clone-anon and Gregor with a man bun for @clone-anon-after-dark just because I think he can pull it off.
Consider commissioning her! I'm so happy with them.
This is really unrelated to anything I'm working on for this blog currently, but did you know that if you create one clone OC it can lead to creating more clone OCs?
Also, while I have requests to get to for my other blog, @clone-anon-after-dark, I don't have any requests for this blog currently. Let me know if you want me to write something and I hope you all have a gentle, kind 2024.
I decided to make this one its own post so I can be sure the entirety of the details are under the cut. I know this is a very sensitive topic for many people, so please take care of yourselves.
TW: miscarriage
Before we get going I’ll say that this is something I’m familiar with. I’ve been through two, although in my case I wasn’t ready to be a mom and miscarriage brought both relief and guilt. I am able to write from that perspective as well, but it’s not the take I’m working with here. I was not sure which clone was preferred so I went with Rex. If you would like a ficlet like this or on another topic, please reach out.
You both were looking forward to being parents. Getting pregnant was a surprise and you’d never forget the look on Rex’s face when you told him. He’d seen some of his other brothers take on parental roles, but he was still stunned he was going to be a father. You started preparing almost immediately. It was adding a few things to the house here or there and dealing with your changing body as well as wrapping your head around adding a third person to the family.
That all changed one morning when you got out of the shower, into your clothes, and something wasn’t right. Something was very wrong. You screamed for Rex and he came running. It seemed like a blur, but you went from excited parents to medical emergency, to recovery, to emptiness. You and Rex both cried and he would not stop holding you.
You didn’t talk about it immediately, but one day he came home to find you sitting at the kitchen table in the same clothes you’d worn for two days, staring at the wall, hot caf gone cold hours ago. He came over and sat next to you, taking your hand in his and kissing it several times.
Tears streamed down your cheeks as you simpy said, “We never got to know them.”
Rex felt it in his heart. Of course he was sad by what was going on, but he also wanted to help you both through this.
“In my head I always called them ‘little soldier,’“ he admitted. “I figured it worked no matter their gender.”
You looked at him and tried smiling before he continued.
“I thought about who they would be. Strong, smart, brave, and wonderful like their mother, of course. What kind of hobbies do you think they would have?”
You thought about it, actually allowing yourself to embrace who this child was and through sniffles replied, “They would have done anything as long as it was with their dad. Playing in the woods. Pretend tea parties. And probably eventually learning to shoot a blaster.”
Rex smiled at that. “Yeah, but not too soon.”
“They would have loved all their uncles,” you added.
“And their uncles and us... we’ll always love them. Because no matter how short a time it was for, they are part of this family.”
He took a breath. “I know we have to grieve in our own ways. I know you’re beyond sad and I am too, but I’m not going to forget our little soldier and I don’t want you thinking you have to move on or whatever just because a certain amount of time has passed or they never got to be born.”
You started crying again, but this time it was out of relief that he understood. Tears streamed down his cheeks and he held you. After you let it out, he walked you to the fresher so you both could get cleaned up. He gently washed you, knowing how exhausted you’d become. He helped you get into clean clothes and started some laundry. You made some food, choosing something easy, but enough to keep you both going. That night you got into bed together, holding each other close, whispering and kissing your ‘I love yous,’ and in your hearts you said goodnight to your little soldier.
I write little stories with you and your favorite clone(s). I write fluff. It can be romantic, first meeting, first date, platonic, support during a difficult time, etc. I default to gender neutral reader unless I have more information and it is relevant to the story. I'm also very careful to save anything romantic for adult readers.
Update: I finally have a masterlist! I will try to keep it updated.
Sometimes I randomly send stories, but lately my time is taken up with requests, which I love. So feel free to make requests!
If you want to request something for yourself:
Send me an ask with what kind of story you need and with which clone. Feel free to add any helpful information like whether you're touch-averse (clones understand boundaries) so I don't accidentally include something you don't want. I can respond to the ask on here or send you an anon ask with the story. If you decide to post the story to your blog, I reblog so others can read.
Once in a while, I may simply post a story and not tag anyone (if they wish) if the topic is sensitive and just trust they will find it.
If you want to request on behalf of someone else:
Send an ask and tell me who, what kind of story, and which clone, similar to if you were requesting for yourself. I will send them an anon ask with the story or post it here and tag them.
Please note:
I am also open to writing about difficult topics, including trauma and loss. As a trauma survivor myself, I know how healing it can be to see yourself with someone who feels safe, and I think in a lot of ways, the clones make people feel safe. I have also written about people comforting their favorite clone.
I also do not write romance for minors. This should go without saying. While I have written platonic / older brother mentor type things before, I am avoiding that option now too in light of some recent requests, just because I don't want anything misread.
Feel free to see some of what I've written throughout this blog, but also know that some people choose not to post the stories I send and that is perfectly fine. You are under no obligation to share, but it's great if you want to.
Thanks for reading, and may your favorite clone hold you in their heart.
This started as a blog to just post stories I wrote for people, and I had no idea it would take off like it has. I want to be more active in the Star Wars (more specifically clone) writing community, so I am going to reblog writing by others as well. I do reblog stories on my main blog, but using this blog and Clone Anon After Dark for the more matured themed reblogs seems like a good idea. I will tag these reblogs as "other people's work"
Also I have some requests lined up but feel free to request from either blog if you want a story.
