Hello? Yes, hi. Please make fan art of my fic. Thank you.
So what if I posted a super long chapter of The Continued Adventures Of The Warrior and The Child for May the Fourth? Haha just kidding...unless?
Ok possible change of plans. My plot is holding me hostage and I'm having too much fun to stop writing. I don't know if the chapter will go up today, but it will for sure be up by the end of Kalluzeb Appreciation Week. Can't wait for y'all to see it!

You guys? I think I just came up with an ending to my fic!
Really guys? Ok but no seriously thank you for all the support. I Kriffing love you all! Ok, I'm off to Yavin IV, comm if you need me!
Hello everyone! Sorry again for the wait! Chapter 13 is here, another fairly short one but hopefully it lives up to you expectations. I'm so glad I was able to get this out for Rebels Remembered! Huge thanks as always to everyone who reads and leaves kudos/comments. It means a ton. And a special shout out to my pals in the Kalluzeb fandom for keeping stoked to write. I'm still in love with this story and these characters and I hope that's evident in the writing. Feel free to chat with me in the comments or here on Tumblr, thanks for reading!
Sneak peek of ch 12
A mirthless laugh fell from Zeb's lips, "And you know what? It's not gettin' any easier. Might not ever, because I can't change what happened. But I can make sure it doesn't happen again, and by the Ashla I'm gonna."
With that Zeb closed the gap between them and moved past Alexsandr shoving him roughly. Alexsandr was so surprised by the exchange and the following impact, he couldn't brace himself properly. He ended up flat on his back in the dirt with the wind knocked out of him. Looking up half a moment later, he saw Ezra and Sabine standing over him. He continued to lay there blinking slowly as they knelt down to help him sit up.
"I know we're doing that whole no swearing thing with the baby coming and all," Ezra started gripping Alex's hand tightly as he pulled him into a sitting position, "but what the sith was that about?"
Alexsandr grinned, "I won't tell Hera you swore as long as you keep quiet about that little interaction, deal?" He turned to Sabine who had busied herself dusting his jacket off and brushing his hair, "Dear girl," he smiled taking her hands in his, "Darling Bine, I'm fine, seriously, thank you."
She pursed her lips in frustration, "Nothing about that was fine Alex. Zeb has a serious problem."
Alexsandr sighed, "I'm afraid you're right. And I think his problem is me."
Ezra shook his head, "I don't think so. You heard him, he clearly thinks what happened is somehow his fault."
Alexsandr shook his head, "But that's simply not true. Unless he thinks...Karabast!" Alexsandr's eyes widened, "Garazeb thinks the baby being half Lasat caused my miscarriage." He reached out to both Ezra and Sabine somewhat frantically, "Help me up, quickly! I need to prove him wrong, he has to know he's not at fault. Oh Garazeb,beautiful fool Lasat."
Sabine and Ezra shared confused looks as they hauled Alex to his feet. Ezra asked, "Exactly how do you plan on proving him wrong?"
"For starters I'll go back to all the research you did months ago," Alexsandr replied, "There has to be something in there I can at least use as a start."
Straightening his jacket Alexsandr moved to take a step forward only to have his right leg collapse under him and throw him to the ground again. Pain surged through the entire limb unlike any he'd felt before. Fighting to stay conscious he tried to speak only to have a moan escape his lips. Ezra and Sabine were back at his side in an instant and he didn't hesitate to grip both hands he was offered.
"Alex, what happened," Sabine cried, "What's wrong?"
Gritting his teeth against the pain he answered, "Feels like my leg is broken all over again. It just went out from under me." He cut off in a groan instinctively curling in on himself.
Sabine moved closer pillowing his head in her lap. Turning to Ezra she ordered, "Go and get a medic, explain what's happened. I'll stay with him." Ezra nodded before heading off leaving Sabine to do her best to soothe Alexsandr, running her fingers through his hair and rubbing his back.
A short time later a familiar voice cut the haze of Alexsandr's pain, "Well if it isn't my favorite frequent flyer." Alexsandr cracked an eye open to see the medic he'd dealt with in the past approaching with a repulsorlift. As he was lifted off the ground he attempted a smirk, "Remind me of your name kid."
The medic laughed, "It's Whil, Captain Kallus sir."
Alexsandr nodded stiffly, "Alex will suffice I assure you. Always seem to be around when I need you, good man Whil." And with that he promptly lost consciousness.
A short time later Alexsandr had been brought into a room in the medbay. Bev was looking over a scan of his leg, her brow furrowing more and more every second. Sabine and Ezra were sat on either side of Alexsandr's bed each still holding one of his hands. They waited quietly for Bev to speak.
"I don't think this should even be possible," the doctor breathed.
"Is that like this is so great it shouldn't even be possible?" Ezra asked hopefully. One look at her face gave him his answer, "Shab," he murmured, turning to Alex who remained unconscious in the bed.
"Alexsandr's leg is broken," Bev began slowly, "There are several breaks, two in the lower leg, one in each bone and one in the femur." She paused and allowed that to sink in before asking, "What was he doing just before this happened?"
Ezra chimed in before Sabine could stop him, "Nothing! He'd been sitting on the ground and I pulled him to his feet. He tried to take a step and collapsed."
Bev nodded, her mind obviously working quickly, "And he'd been sitting on the ground because?"
Ezra's eyes went wide, "Huh? Oh he, heh he fell when uh…," he dropped his gaze mumbling, "When Zeb pushed him down."
"Alexsandr and Captain Orrelios fought?" Bev asked her voice rising, "He's not been cleared for that sort of thing!"
Sabine jumped in at this point, "Ma'am they weren't sparring, Zeb got angry and shoved him."
"Sabine!" Ezra yelled.
"What would you have me do? Lie?" Sabine cried indignantly, "These are our friends Ezra, our family! I can't just sit by and watch them hurt each other!" Sabine sat back wiping a tear from her eye. Suddenly she felt her other hand being gripped. Looking over she saw Alex smiling softly at her with tears in his own eyes.
"Thank you Bine," Alexsandr whispered, "I appreciate that more than you can know." Turning to Bev he cleared his throat roughly and addressed the doctor, "Bev am I on a terribly large dose of pain medication?"
She nodded, "Not the highest possible but I thought it appropriate given the circumstances."
Alexsandr sighed, "I was afraid of that."
Bev turned back to his chart asking, "Is there a problem? You don't have any drug allergies we're aware of."
Alexsandr shook his head, "Not allergies per se, more intolerances." When she didn't seem to understand he clarified, "By and large pain medication has no effect on me other than clouding my judgement or knocking me out completely. But as far as treating the pain, nothing works."
She crossed her arms and stared at him head on, "Alexsandr are you...as far as you know, intolerant to any other types of medication?"
He laughed quietly before it ended in a groan, "Medics on the ships I served with always commented I didn't take to Bacta very well. One even said something to the effect that it might stop working on me one day."
Bev stood quietly for a moment before muttering, "Welcome to one day."
Alexsandr attempted to sit up straighter only to cry out when that caused the pain in his leg to spike, "Bev are you actually telling me my leg re broke itself?"
She nodded again, "In both areas."
"Well that at least makes sense," Alexsandr reasoned, "The break I got on Bahryn was clean across both bones."
"And your femur?" Bev asked, "There's no mention of that happening anywhere in the medical history we have on you." She'd been looking at his chart again but when Bev looked back up at Alexsandr he'd gone completely white. "Alex? Are you alright?"
Ezra and Sabine had moved closer to Alex when they saw the color leave his face so they heard his reply before Bev, "Onderon. Saw Gerrera's Lasat mercenary broke my leg and left me for dead after he killed my platoon on Onderon."
Apologies I haven't finished this chapter yet and I'm not sure when I will. Tell me what you think of this and if you haven't started The Continued Adventures of the Warrior and the Child, go check it out! Also, if you want me to start a tag list for fic updates let me know. Until next time dear readers!
Hi guys, I messed up
I thought the anniversary of Star Wars Rebels was today. It was in fact yesterday and I missed it entirely. So how about I share a bit of the latest chapter of The Continued Adventures of the Warrior and the Child to make up for it?
AO3 won the 2019 Hugo Award for Best Related Work!
Here’s the speech given by Naomi Novik when the award was accepted:
All fanwork, from fanfic to vids to fanart to podfic, centers the idea that art happens not in isolation but in community. And that is true of the AO3 itself. We’re up here accepting, but only on behalf of literally thousands of volunteers and millions of users, all of whom have come together and built this thriving home for fandom, a nonprofit and non-commercial community space built entirely by volunteer labor and user donations, on the principle that we needed a place of our own that was not out to exploit its users but to serve them.
Even if I listed every founder, every builder, every tireless support staff member and translator and tag wrangler, if I named every last donor, all our hard work and contributions would mean nothing without the work of the fan creators who share their work freely with other fans, and the fans who read their stories and view their art and comment and share bookmarks and give kudos to encourage them and nourish the community in their turn.
This Hugo will be joining the traveling exhibition that goes to each Worldcon, because it belongs to all of us. I would like to ask that we raise the lights and for all of you who feel a part of our community stand up for a moment and share in this with us.
Fanfic Writers: Director’s Cut
Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines.
Or, send in a ⭐star⭐ to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!
Do you all read what I have on AO3? If you do and want to send me asks about The Continued Adventures of the Warrior and the Child or my kalluzeb drabbles it would make my day!
I think it took a while for Hera to really trust Alex, but with both being insomniacs they began to become friends and began to trust him. Heck she trust him to watch her baby.
I'm actually working on a scene dealing with this. It'll be a little ways away in my fic. So far I kinda picture it like this:
Alexsandr stepped out of the dark hall blinking in the bright light of the galley. His captain sat at the table staring off into the middle distance. This was far from the first time their paths had crossed in the middle of the night. Even before she'd gotten pregnant Hera had been something of an insomniac and Alex often found himself unable to sleep due to a mix of pain and being unable to shut his mind off. Their late night bonding sessions had become a regular thing, so Alexsandr wasn't surprised to find her up even at this late hour.
A mug of tea sat on the table in front of Hera as she sat gently running a hand over her very pregnant belly. He coughed softly announcing his presence so as not to startle her. She shook her head slightly before looking over to where he stood and smiled, "We really do have to stop meeting like this."
He grinned at her, "Very right, after all what would our respective partners say?"
Hera laughed, "Kanan would tell us both we needed to relax and meditate if we really wanted to sleep," she took in his stance that had him favoring his right leg, "And Zeb would be fussing over you for not waking him up when you were in pain."
Alexsandr rolled his eyes and waved off the last of her comment even as he limped over to the table and slid into the seat next to her, "It's really not all that bad," but he bit back a grimace as he spoke.
She pursed her lips and looked like she might disagree for a moment but didn't say anything. They sat in amicable silence for a few minutes that was suddenly broken by Hera suddenly hissing in pain and curling her hand over her middle. Alex immediately moved closer. "False contractions or is our youngest crew member over active tonight?"
Hera let out a breath slowly, "It's one thing for this baby to be force sensitive, but practicing lightsaber stances in the womb is a bit much."
Alexsandr nodded in agreement and started to lay a hand on her stomach but stopped short asking, "With your permission?" After a nod from Hera he laid a hand against her belly. Using a voice reserved for the greenest of academy cadets he spoke, "Now listen here young man," he paused when he felt a jab against his hand and looked up to see Hera wincing, "Excuse me? I won't stand for this sass," another, softer jab, "No, absolutely not. Favorite nephew of mine or not. I'm sorry but this obstinance will not be allowed to continue. So what do you say? Will you go to sleep and give you misha a break?" Another soft jab met Alexsandr's palm as he spoke again, this time in a much softer voice, "Very well. Goodnight little padawan. Uncle Alex loves you."
Leaning back he looked up to find Hera had drifted off in her seat. He smiled and debated waking her up but decided against it. He sat for a while longer and when he'd decide to go back to bed he woke Zeb to carry her back to bed.
*Misha is Ryl for mother*
How's that? I'll flesh it out when it's connected to the longer fic. Also if you or anyone else want me to start a tag list for my ao3 updates let me know!
i made this for the discord but its important
You forgot a step
I'd just like to apologize to my readers. I'd like to...but I'm also kinda not sorry?
The latest chapter is up! Also Kalluzeb Drabbles has been updated. I sincerely hope you're enjoying both!
The biggest problem with stream of consciousness writing? Where's the stopping point?! Someone come slap me I've stayed up all night AGAIN!
In case anyone cares I found the stopping point over 12 hours, some sleep and a ton of keyboard plunking later. If you're enjoying The Continued Adventures of the Warrior and the Child there will be more soon!
