Graduation Present (Book of Dayja)⌚️
Fraternizing in the Nude chapter 2🔥
I mostly post updates on my fanfiction (tagged with the title/ship), meta-fanfiction bits and bobs, and Star Wars fandom shenanigans (mostly Thrawn).
Here are some of the WIPs I am most focused on atm:
1. "Good Day, Lieutenant Vanto": The Series (GDLV)
Thranto crack-adjacent vaguely-Shakespearean rom-com featuring Alive!Thrass because I can. In progress at the moment are the sixth and seventh (and final?) works: Book of Un'hee and The Incident™️
2. Promises You'll Only Make: also a series (Promises) - in progress - rated E
A Kallus-centric series that is too big and probably merits future-me travelling back in time to stop me from ever doing it. Navigates an Imperial task force of ships: Kallivant, Thranto, Kandor, Daylus, Kalluzeb, and more still-secret ships because the Ao3 Emperor has, frankly, given me ⚡️too much creative power⚡️. Accompanying pieces from alternate POVs (Thrawn, Dayja, Yularen, Eli), and AUs also in progress. The sequel--The Stars Did Wander Darkling--is currently in the works as well.
This ask has a list of posted Ancillary Fic 🙌
3. Love After Stardust: A Ronbi Tale (M)
Yet to go live, but heartily underway. Basically Jane Austen in Space featuring Thranto and Ronbi and *secret ships*. Sometimes I just gotta Regency Rom-com, ya know?
4. “With These Will I Go” (Thrawn & Thrass; Thranto - Rated T)
A haunting AU loosely inspired by Peter S. Beagle’s A Fine and Private Place. Thrass uses Starflash to end the Vagaari threat with explosive and unintended results. Unsurprisingly, he’s dead. More surprisingly, he’s still here. And for some reason, Thrawn can still see him. But Thrass’s destiny was hitched to Thrawn’s when he was alive, why should now be any different?
5. HYDRA (Thranto Emperor Thrawn AU - Rated E)
It’s been two years now since my world collapsed aboard the Sempre. Two years since the tin toy Empire I’d built in my mind fell apart and revealed the sickness beneath. The grown-up truth of it all.
I told Thrawn then I wasn’t entirely comfortable knowing the Empire was using slaves. But the moment we were behind closed doors he learned just how much of an understatement that had been.
I screamed. I cried. I ripped my hair out and told him I never wanted to be touched by anyone again, let alone him: an Imperial officer. A complicit officer. We were all complicit, of course—always had been. It was my first time waking up into a nightmare. And I haven’t been able to sleep soundly since.
Thrawn surprised me, though. Always does. He gave me two choices:
Start learning Cheunh—the language of the Chiss. Leave him and the Empire behind to serve a more honorable people.
Or, stay with him. Fight for a perfect Empire.
As the man Thrawn trusted to hold his words in my hands, I should have realized what Thrawn had meant when he said ‘perfect.’ Not ‘better.’ Not ‘good.’ But perfect. Perfect in the way a victory could be perfect.
Or destruction.
And it is perfect. So beautifully, monstrously perfect.
I hold it here now… in my hands.
6. Now that I've Lost Everything to You (E)
Also yet to go live but I remembered past-Whale had already written a lot for it. I work on it when I'm feeling extra angsty.
Summary: After Thrawn is killed during the Battle for Lothal and Ronan is caught attempting to subvert the CDF, the political situation in the Ascendancy reaches a tipping point. Non-Chiss are banned from military service and Eli—an Imperial deserter—is left without protection… until Thrass fulfills his pact to protect his brother’s friend by offering him a marriage of convenience.
After three years of grieving the man he loved in secret, Eli finally begins to settle into his new life with the husband he never expected, but has come to care for all the same.
But Thrawn won’t even let his presumed death stop him from upending Eli’s life once more.
Or his brother’s.
7. From Coruscant with Love (E)
An alternate universe in which Eli Vanto really was a Neimoidian spy. Little does Eli know, he’s not the only spy in the Imperial Navy. The not-at-all-clichéd story of a spy falling for their mark.
8. Savant (E)
(My oldest Thranto WIP featuring Thranto and Savanto)
Thrawn’s rapid climbing of the ranks comes at a price: whatever relationship he might have had with Eli. But, as Eli’s self esteem dwindles, Eli finds himself irresistibly drawn to another admiral who recognizes the savant for his talents: and tells him so.
Unfortunately, that’s not all Savit recognizes.
The story of how Thrawn learned to see battles in the music.
