the words fall from my tongue like ripe fruits eager to turn into jam.
a single spoonful on a piece of warm bread.
enough for the cosmos on the tip of your tongue,
just discovering the ways of sugar.
@onesingularbean tagged me in the “make a moodboard of your url” meme, which was pretty difficult! Since my username is deliberately generic & I don’t have a strong blog aesthetic, this ended up as a mishmash of things I like, my natural habitat, and some random images with incognito vibes.
(My PFP and the centre image in this board is from Woman Reading by Édouard Manet, which I chose on a whim but have become very attached to over the years! She even looks a little like me.)
No-pressure tagging some people with fun usernames: @intellectual-carrot @rain-sleet-snow @serceleste @englishable and @ninelanterns!

I am v interested in Untitled AU #2! (Also, I love your work!)
Thank you so much!
Untitled AU #2 is basically, order 66 never happens and Caleb becomes a Jedi Knight! Cham travels to Coruscant with Hera for Senate business and while he is there, he asks Mace to have a Jedi watch over Hera ~discretely~ because Cham is paranoid and thinks certain parties will try to take her. I'm trying to be a vauge as possible because I don't want to give too much away but things happen and Caleb travels to Ryloth with Hera where they uncover a sinister plot, face danger, and eventually fall madly in love!
snippet under the cut!
ask me about my WIPs!
“You’re late.” Master Windu said, keeping his eyes on the multiple arched doorways leading to the sprawling megatropolis of Coruscant.
Mace didn’t exactly smile but Caleb could feel his amusement in the Force. “At least you’re honest.” there was a beat of silence before he said, “I appreciate you doing this Caleb. I know we’ve been pushing you hard these last few months.”
“Of course master. I’m happy to help.” Caleb folded his arms over his chest, tucking his hands away in the long sleeves of his robe. “If you don’t mind me asking, who are we meeting? I know you said an old friend, but who is that exactly?”
“It’s good to see that you haven’t lost your ability to ask a question at every turn.” Mace smiled down at him, sunlight gleaming off of his bald head. “I’m sure you remember Cham Syndulla?”
“The liberator of Ryloth?” Caleb wracked his brain trying to scrounge up what he could remember of the planet and the people. He never made it out that far during the war but he knew Master Windu and Master Kenobi had spent some time there.
“At one time.” Mace nodded. “He sent me a hologram a few days ago, asking for a meeting. I’m not sure what he wants exactly but I know Ryloth has not recovered well since the war.”
Caleb hummed thoughtfully. Ryloth was situated along the Corellian Run, one of the many trade routes that was being held hostage by increased tax and regulations. It was very likely that the Twi’leks were unable to import the supplies and food they needed to survive, just like during the Seperatist occupation all those years ago. There wouldn’t be much the Jedi could do to help that matter, other than oversee the negotiations. Caleb shuttered at the thought, he had his fill of bureaucracy with his last mission.
The fading sunlight glowed in the spacious hall, the purple pink sky of twilight dotted with the constant flow of air traffic. Two figures walked through one of the many doorways, casting dramatic shadows on the polished floor. Caleb felt Mace straighten beside him as the figures began walking their way. They were two Twi’lek males, one tall with burnt orange skin, his long lekku decorated with red clan markings while the other was shorter and had deep blue skin.
“Master Windu. It is good to see you again.” the orange skinned Twi’lek said grasping Mace’s forearm with familiarity. “Although I wish it was under better circumstances. This is my comrade, Gobi.”
Mace nodded formally to the blue skinned Twi’lek before addressing the man Caleb assumed to be Cham Syndulla. “I’m sorry to hear of Ryloth’s struggles. I’m assuming that is why you wished to meet?”
“Not quite.” Cham said in his heavily accented Basic. “I have come to plead Ryloth’s case in the senate but what I require from you Master Windu is a bit more personal.” the Twi’lek’s sharp red eyes glanced over at Caleb, assessing him before saying, “As you are well aware, the Pyke syndicate had a rather large presence here on Coruscant. They have been trying, in vain, to set up a mining installation on Ryloth. My daughter has traveled with me and I fear my being here will put her at risk.”
“You want someone to follow her around.” Mace said diplomatically.
“Discreetly if possible. My daughter can be...headstrong about these matters.”
