For @laughingphoenixleader, my Geode Kills The Chancellor ficlet! Link to original ask

Commander Fox was having a long morning. Really, the past few years had been this way, but he was choosing to focus on this particular day.

There had been a bomb threat in the Senate Building, and so he’d had to conduct evacuations. It had turned out to be false, but that hadn’t been discovered until after Senator Chuchi had pushed into a wall, and the Senator from Hosnian Prime had slipped and broken his wrist.

After that there were all manner of other security things to check, flimsi work to fill out, and it was only noon. Fox had a headache, and he was wishing for another cup of caf when he heard shouts and a crash from down the hall.

Good news, it's Fan Fic Friday!

The less ideal for some people news is that it's High Republic fan fic, and I don't know many people who're into that

I'll tag all the usual people, but if it's not your jam feel no pressure to check it out! First lines under the cut

The nerdily-obsessed-with-a-background-character urge to make either a Jacen Syndulla or Vessel Crew side blog where I answer asks

Peak me this week was when I bought "The Fallen Star" just because I read the sample on Amazon and my favorite High Republic characters showed up in the second chapter

Ya girl decided to contribute to the Leox Gyasi tag, and some feels slipped out along the way. First lines under the cut!

Top Six Leox Gyasi Quotes

1. "'How are you supposed to prove love to the galaxy at large if you don't know how to love any one individual person?'"

(Leox's take on the Jedi, which frankly, I don't necessarily disagree with. (obviously I mean this as no insult to the Jedi, I can just see where my boy is coming from))

2. "'Sometimes we all need a reminder to focus on the good things in life.'"

(I mean. Where is the lie?)

3. "'Noble sacrifices are not currently of any use.'"

(Me at pretty much every writer ever)

4. "'Our vessel is called... the Vessel. I named it not for the container itself, but the space within the container that gives it value and purpose. To remind me to look beyond the obvious, you know?'"

(This is one of Leox's first lines, and it's the one that made the main character think that he sounded like Master Yoda on spice. I rest my case)

5. "'Alright, then. Let's get incendiary.'"

(The most logical way to react to your protege suggesting you buy some thermal detonators and blow stuff up)

6. "'--and yeah, I know, she's out grown that nickname, it no longer describes her myriad complexities as an individual, so spare me, all right?'"

(look. The man is constantly high. But weirdly wise. And he cracks me up. And he's talking to a rock-- which is no dismissal of Geode, I love him. The whole thing just amuses me, okay?)
