I didn't have time to create posts/pieces for each day of the event, so I'm using this final catch up day to catch up! I've combined excerpts and sketches that follow the six themes, all from the current (unpublished) story I'm working on for Crosshair and OC Senator Dala Vardis.
Working title: Between Sea and Stars Story summary: Immediately prior to his mission to Barton IV, Crosshair is assigned to Senator Dala Vardis as her security while she undertakes a diplomatic tour of the Elrosian system. Young and new to the job, Dala is still finding her footing as a leader, and she discovers an unexpected source of support and something more in her cynical Imperial companion. Together, they attempt to solve the problems facing a region undermined by recent Separatist influence, and in doing so, they must confront deeper questions about their own place in the galaxy. Rating and warnings: Mature (18+; minors DNI); smut; nudity; angst; intimacy; lovesick and confused; undefined relationship but desperately wanting more; reluctantly Imperial; clone troopers who have defected; a constant, quiet crisis of conscience. Recommended soundtrack: Disco Elysium OST by Sea Power
