    Summary:

    Holy people are forever bound to their gods, be it with a collar they chose to wear, or with their umbilical cord turned leash.

    A fallen Bhaalspawn attempts to find himself, perhaps save the world, with a group of other leashed people and a vampire who knows more than he lets on.
    Notes:

    This is technically a continuation of my prequel series Unsaved, but it can be read without it, if you want to go in blind! The only thing that you need to know is that Strike (my Durge) and Astarion met twenty years before the bg3 events, and were really good friends for a while.

    CW: not much, some violence, some gross food habits; we're only starting babey

    Birth was always meant to be painful.

    Probably not for the person being born, though.

    Summary:

    In an abandoned hospital on Taris, Quinn is infected by the rakghoul virus.

    Notes:

    Many thanks to startrekkery on Tumblr for inspiring a couple of scenes in this fic <3

    Chapter 1
    Chapter Text

    With a wet splat, the last rakghoul’s body fell in pieces to the floor of the abandoned field hospital. Lightsabers still humming in a combat stance, Ajis reached out with the Force and scanned the immediate area for threats. Nothing. They had eliminated all the rakghouls on this floor, at least.

    She closed her lightsabers down and reattached them to her belt, turning to Quinn. “That's all of them. For now.”

    His scars fucking hurt. It’s like he feels every rune being carved into his flesh, deep and harsh– for they are a promise, not a suggestion. He has to grit his teeth, grinding them til his jaw hurts. They cause bile to rise in the back of his throat, threatening to spill solely due to the umpteenth time of holding in the screeches and cries.

    The war hadn’t been kind to Donald. He’d taken a piece of shrapnel to the beak at Normandy — could still remember the taste of blood mixing with saltwater, flooding his lungs as he sank beneath the waves. Everything was dark after that; it was a miracle he’d survived, but all the congratulations and well-wishing rolled off him like — well, like water off a duck’s back.

    Summary:

    A series of vignettes set in the Triumvirate timeline: a dream, an engagement, an affair, and an encounter.

    Notes:

    For evilmouse.

    The truth of the matter is that I’m not much of a Thrawn fan. evilmouse prompted me to write the first Triumvirate story, and I wrote it for her and JediMordSith. It was fun to write, and I got so involved with the worldbuilding and character dynamics that I just kept going. And going and going. But my primary interest remains in Luke/Mara, and I sometimes feel like I neglect Thrawn. I think it's important to consider every angle of a polycule, and I don't think that I give Thrawn enough attention. These character studies aren’t going to balance out the many, many, many words I’ve devoted to Mara and Luke’s pov, but they at least allow us a little insight into his perspective.

    Summary:

    The Battle of Lothal is over, and a captive Jedi is sleeping off his stun bolts in Thrawn's bed.
    Notes:

    This is a fusion of Disney Star Wars with Legends. The imaginary timeline here is:

    6 months ago: Battle of Bilbringi
    Present: Battle of Lothal (just ended)
    6 months from now: The events of Dark Empire

    In this AU, Thrawn was injured at the Battle of Bilbringi but survived and won. The New Republic is still fighting, but is much less powerful than it used to be. During this period, Thrawn cracked down on the Rebel cell at Lothal.

    If you're not familiar with Dark Empire, all you need to know is that Palpatine is resurrected thanks to a secret stock of clones on the planet Byss, w
