Til Death, We Be Scarred

Happy Valentine's @clone-exchange for @ryr-art ! Crosshair finds himself joining Maul's underground empire and becoming something a bit more after realizing they share similar scars. I hope you enjoy!

Has anyone else been painfully dragged by the nonexistent legs or hand (im sorry) into the Crosshair and Darth Maul ship?! I don't know how I got here, but I'm kind of here for it despite the utter lack of content.

The parallels, the potential!

Also, it's just funny. They are both so mentally ill, and I can't tell if they would make each other worse or maybe just stable enough to succeed.

Their dynamic would be interesting, too. Maul probably sees a kindred spirit in Cross and wants to see what would happen if he cultivated all of his feelings into messing up the Empire. Crosshair wants nothing to do with him, but the Sith is taking out all of the Imps on his trail while he's looking for work and refuge.

If they find the Bad Batch (and they will,) they're going to have to be careful Omega doesn't spend too much time around him. He'll either try to train her and/or she will try and fix him. (Crosshair thinks them interacting is a terrible idea. They are terrifying in their own ways.)

I might have to write a fic or something to get this out of my system.

Summary:

Crosshair is taken to medbay after Mayday dies. When he is well again, he kills Nolan in his sleep, steals a ship, and deserts the Empire. Feeling unworthy and too ashamed to rejoin his brothers and sister, he strikes out on his own. And draws the interest of a Sith Lord in the process.

Here's that Crosshair and Maul fic I mentioned earlier. Hope it's readable.
