-Wrecker, I know how to swim! -But you don't have a hand, you need to practice!
Summer of Bad Batch 2024 Week 8 / Main Prompt: Swimming Lessons Everybody gets the meme, right? :3 (I know SOBB doesn't do reblogs anymore, so I tagged you. I think you're gonna like it. @kybercrystals94)
Reblogging until 11:59pm CST today! ☺️

Main Prompt: "Stop touching me!" // "I’m not touching you!" (Week 13)
Alt. Prompt: Lula (Week 8)
In TBB S1E1 Wrecker whacked Lula several times in Crosshair‘s face and I‘m sure it wasn’t for the first time. So here is cadet Wrecker, grating Crosshair by touching him with stuffie Lula. The latter tells his older brother to stop -- not a chance! And technically, it’s only Lula who touches Cross.
It‘s been such a long time since I’ve last drawn something. And when I looked at Summer of Bad Batch prompts, I was internally debating, if I should try it.
And it only took me the whole summer and early September to finally grab my pencil and become active for a turn. Played with a filter afterwards so that the colors appear more washed out like on one of those old instant photos.
It’s simple and I like it. And it feels good to draw something without pressuring myself to make an outstanding creation. Self-pressure often kills that little motivation I have.
(Funny fact, this is the first time I created some fanart for TBB series.)
I got inspired by @locitapurplepink's
and the last two seconds from High Ground Animation‘s "CLONES - The Clone Wars Fan Animation Compilation". That eye-roll is so good.
(Seriously, when I first watched the clip, I didn’t realized it was fan-made. I thought, I can‘t remember that particular cutout, where in the TCW series is it?)
Aaand that wraps it up. Thank you for dropping by.
Event: Summer of Bad Batch 2024
Word Count: 688
Warnings: Injury
Rating: G
Prompts:
Swimming lessons on Kamino were compulsory for all clones. Wrecker enjoyed seeing how far down he could dive and how many bubbles he could blow, but certain clones — ahem, Crosshair — had other ideas.
-
“Crosshair!” Wrecker bawled after Crosshair pulled his leg for the tenth time. “Stop scarin’ me!”
“But it’s so much fun!”
“Awww Hunter, Crosshair’s pretendin’ to be a sea monster again!”
“Knock it off, Crosshair!”
“It’s just too easy —“
“Crosshaaaaaaaaair….”
But Wrecker had his revenge. Crosshair never saw the cannonball from above coming.

a/n: hello! another fic for @summer-of-bad-batch! man, i feel like i'm slowly filling all the prompts, hehe. this time i combined lula and "hold still.". it also might scratch on the comfort zone prompt, hehe. i luckily never had a severe reaction like that, but i researched that there are different stages and i thought if hunter has enhanced senses he might get a worse reaction, even though senses ≠ immune system. BUT! please don't expect this to be an accurate process of a reaction. well. i hope you still enjoy!

Summer of Bad Batch | Week 8 | Swimming Lessons
Omega tugs at the collar of her wetsuit. It is a little tight and small, her wrists and ankles exposed. Biologically, she is the same age as the cadets standing next to her against the wall facing the training pool; however, she is slightly taller physically. Nala Se didn’t think it was necessary to have a custom wetsuit made to fit since Omega will only be taking swimming basics, the lessons extensive and lasting less than a week.
“Where’d you come from?” the cadet on her left asks, eyeing Omega suspiciously.
Omega smiles and avoids the question. “I’m Omega,” she says instead.
The cadet frowns at her. “Why are you here?”
“Same reason you are,” Omega says, shrugging.
“You don’t belong here,” the cadet sneers, “You’re not a soldier.”
Now Omega feels annoyed. She’s being friendly, so why is he being so rude? “Well, you’re not one either,” she tells him. “You’re only three cycles. You can’t be a trooper until you’re nine.”
The cadet sticks his tongue out at her, crosses his arms, and turns to face the water again.
Omega learns that the cadet’s name is Racket, which suits him. He is loud and annoying. And bossy. And a bully.
Week 8 Alt. Prompt: Lula @summer-of-bad-batch Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 2586 Summary: Crosshair watched the bomb go off by Wrecker's head on their last mission, and now he sits by his bedside, riddled with guilt. He's dying to do something good for his brother, so Crosshair goes on a little shopping trip, Hunter and Tech following along. A/N: I have been in a weeks-long mental health episode, but I am glad I wrote this. Maybe I'm back to writing. Guess we'll see! READ ON AO3
Wrecker writhed in his bed, moaning, and Crosshair squeezed his hands more tightly together, mouth drawing into a firmer line. If anyone looked in they would think by the tensing of Crosshair’s muscles, the hard set to his face, his eyes, that he was in physical pain as well.
He supposed watching Wrecker felt like that. There was an ache in his chest, and already he could feel the sore, brooding tension in his shoulders and neck from endlessly watching over him.
Crosshair knew Wrecker’s injuries were due to some mistake, some statistic that could happen to anyone in Wrecker’s position on the battlefield, that mistakes did happen.
Still, the sinking pit in his stomach, the monster gnawing at his chest, shredding him, its venom infecting his veins, told him that this was his fault. His.
No one knew who gave her to Wrecker. (Everyone suspected Crosshair, though he's always denied.) She'd showed up on Wrecker's bunk, leaning to the side and ready to cuddle.
On Pabu even Lula has to know how to swim.
Summer of bad batch. Week 8. Combined prompts: swimming lesson and Lula
Crosshair wakes up sick, and Omega proves herself the best big sister. Written for the @summer-of-bad-batch prompt Lula and inspired by the nagging sore throat I have today. ~1000 words of comfort fluff.
---
Crosshair groaned, rolling over in his bed, the covers twisting around him. He shivered despite the layers of sheets and blankets. That didn’t seem right. He slowly blinked his eyes open and swallowed, grimacing when his throat felt like fire.
Oh. Great. He was sick.
There was a knock at the door. He propped himself up on his elbow and glared blearily at the sound. Omega stood in the open doorway, looking in on him with concern clear on her face. “You’re still not up?”
“I’m sick,” Crosshair said thickly. “Stay away if you don’t want the plague.”
“Sick? With what? Hunter and Wrecker and I are fine,” she said, taking a few steps into the bedroom.
He waved a hand at her in irritation, trying to warn her off. “How should I know? I’m not a medic.” He sighed, rubbing his face. His skin felt hot, even to his own touch.
“You don’t look good,” Omega said worriedly. She’d closed the distance to his bed and now leaned over him, smoothing his short sweaty hair back from his forehead. “You’re burning up!”
“Uh-huh,” he agreed. “Tell me something I don’t know.” He shivered again, pulling the blankets up to his nose and squinting up at her. “Just leave me to die. It’s the only way.”
“Oh come on now,” Omega said, but this time she wore a hint of a smile at his hyperbole. “Okay, if you’re still able to be snarky, I guess it can’t be too bad.” She squeezed his shoulder with her hand. “I’ll get some things for you, all right? You just sit tight.”
“Do I look like I’m going anywhere?” he mumbled.
“Very funny, Crosshair.”
