Chapter 30 summary: The purpose of the Empire's new drug is revealed as the Partisans and clones make plans. Crosshair gets to know Brith and Dara better.

Omega wrinkled her nose, looking back and forth between Crosshair and Dara, unsure what had changed.

For the last several rotations, her grumpiest brother had had a marked improvement in disposition. When he had first returned to them months ago, after finally deserting the Empire, it had taken some time for him—for all of them, really—to adjust. He and Hunter had clashed more often than not, especially at first, and most days he was gloomy and miserable (even more so than he used to be, according to her other brothers). And although things had gotten steadily better, and Omega could tell that he was trying, Crosshair was still prone to a certain amount of brooding and bad moods.

But lately, his usual barbs had taken on a decidedly less vicious tone. He hadn’t picked a single fight—with Hunter or the regs—since they’d been back on base after Xagalus. And while he was still spending plenty of time away from them, now, when he turned back up, he was at least more likely to haunt the common areas, quietly keeping the rest of them company.

She’d even caught him smiling a little to himself while he prepared the caf the other morning. It was weird.

Pairing: Crosshair x OC Luvari Tulren, GAR psychologist Ship Name: Crossvari

Crosshair divider by @stars-n-spice

“Would you ever want another kid?”

Luvari looked up from the article she was reading to send her husband a questioning look. “I have one little boy attached to my chest, and we just got the other one to bed after getting noodles out of both of his ears. Are you seriously asking me NOW if I want another one?”

Crosshair shrugged. “Asking when you’re exhausted and stressed will give me the most honest answer.”

“Hmm.” Luvari ran the backs of her fingers over the tiny blue cheek at her breast. “Good point. You don’t think two is enough?”

“Two is perfect.” He glanced over at the toddler resting angelically in the small bed in the corner of their bedroom, and his voice went soft. “Forget I mentioned it.”

Luvari stared at Crosshair’s face. Her uncanny ability to read facial expressions and body language got a genuine workout when it came to him, but there was something in the ever-so-slight way his eyebrows were raised that told her that forgetting he mentioned it would be a mistake. “Cross?”

Crosshair sighed, his voice shrinking to a whisper. “I missed all of it, Vari.”

“What do you mean?”

He crossed the room to sit beside her and their newborn son on the bed and cupped his hand around the little mass of silver curls. “I was only here for the last few days of your pregnancy with Genet. We adopted Bilyk. I didn’t get to do what husbands are supposed to do.”

“You did exactly what other husbands do. That’s how we ended up with Genet,” Luvari teased.

“That’s not what I meant,” Crosshair returned with a smirk. “I wasn’t here to help you. I didn’t get to watch your belly grow or be here when you felt the first kick.”

“We were on the run,” she reminded him gently. “Considering how enormous the galaxy is, it’s incredible that you made it back in time to welcome the little sniper at all. We were lucky.”

“You’re not wrong, but it still bothers me that I missed so much.”

“It wasn’t all magical firsts. You also missed the vomiting and non-stop complaining.”

Crosshair huffed a small laugh. “It would have been worth it. For me. Clones weren’t meant to have families. This…” He gestured between the two of them and at their two little sons. “This wasn’t supposed to happen for us. You can’t blame me for wanting more of it now that I have it.”

Luvari could see the regret and vulnerability in her husband’s face. “Are you saying you want us to have another baby so you can be part of the pregnancy?” she asked slowly.

There was a twinkle in Crosshair’s eyes as they met his wife’s. “Not only for that reason and not right away, but I haven’t ruled out the possibility. What about you?”

Luvari smiled softly. “I might be persuaded to try for a third—after these two are ‘fresher trained.”

Crosshair glanced at the pile of unused nappies in reserve off to the side and chuckled softly. “Obviously.”

An Echo Valentine's, for those whose hearts are held captive by an arc!!

And I figured we might be missing him even more than usual, what with comics and the novel that he's eh, not in... tally marks represent counting down the days till we see him again, in whatever medium that may be... *please let it be a new animated series*

Love that the TBB comic really proves when the dadification of Hunter began because prior to meeting Omega, he had no problem just showing off his arms and pecs and whatever, but the second they took her in, he's like no... no I have to wear an undershirt with this tank top

Like this is sending me

Shoot First, Argue Later

Author's Note: If you are reading along (or not) with Quiet Corners of the Galaxy, this takes place after the conclusion of that fic, so it contains some minor spoilers, including some details about Dara's ship and allusions to where Dara and Crosshair leave things for their relationship.

Summary: Crosshair and Dara argue while caught in a firefight and resolve the conflict the only way they know how.

Content Warnings: NSFW, PIV sex, angry sex, dom/sub dynamic, subspace, choking, gags, bratting

“This is all your fault!” Dara snapped. She reached under her poncho, retrieving a grenade, and threw it full force at a group of thugs, who scrambled to get out of the way before it exploded with a loud boom.

Shamelessly throwing in Bryn's armor design because it fits best with this prompt.

Brynter: Conflict

For prompt #3 of @clonexocweek, I'm jumping a little bit into the future to a still unwritten part of Bryneir and Hunter's story. I like to let the characters guide the story as I write, so things I plan in advance often end up changing somewhat. Without giving too much context of the events I have in mind, here's an unedited angsty confrontation.

Word Count: 1764

Content Warnings: abandonment

⚠️⚠️⚠️SPOILERS AHEAD⚠️⚠️⚠️

Damn! Exciting teaser for the fic!
