One Night After Another

Summary: This is just the ‘sharing a bed’ trope with a gender-neutral Reader and Tech. Need I say more?

Pairing: Tech x gn!Reader

Rating: SFW

Word count: 6.4k

Tags: Sharing a bed, Huddling for warmth, Slow burn, Mutual pining, Idiots in love, First kiss.

Notes: This takes place over a few weeks. I hope that’s clear when you read it ;-; I had a hard time figuring out how to format this. Please show support by reblogging my work!

The Kaminoans have assigned you to this unruly bunch. You are to monitor and work with them over the next few weeks, and if you fit in nicely, the Kaminoans may ask the Batch if you can stay. They explained that despite the Batch’s high pass rate, they’re a set of loose canons who have broken more equipment than you could ever imagine; your job is to figure out what’s going wrong, and make improvements where you can. You’re no clone, far from one - you’re just a simple person, trying to make their way in the universe. At first, the Batch seems… hesitant, but you can understand why. They’re very close-knit, tight and enclosed, and not too welcoming to strangers. Well, the one they call Crosshair wasn’t welcoming to you, but the rest got along with you just fine. Hunter, Wrecker, and Echo made nice first impressions, and Tech kept to himself, all until you made a passing comment that wasn’t factually right, and then Tech’s personality came out in full-swing.

Senator Riyo Chuchi, fresh from the events on Orto Plutonia, vows to uphold her senatorial duties and enforce the laws of the Galactic Republic. Can this be the start of a strange friendship?

Riyo gives a speech (as senators do) and Fox is unimpressed. He’s more impressed when she stands her ground and gets in his face.

[Image ID: A Digital Illustration Of The Clone Wars Characters Commander Doom And Tiplee, A Jedi General.

[Image ID: A digital illustration of The Clone Wars characters Commander Doom and Tiplee, a Jedi General. The image is zoomed in on their upper bodies, with a dark brown background. Doom, in his green canon armor but no helmet, is on the left side of the canvas, facing slightly to the right. He's holding a large white candle in his right hand, and looking down at the flame. Tiplee, appearing as in canon, is on the right side of the canvas, standing close to Doom. She is facing slightly to the left with her left hand over his, and her right hand on his left spaulder, between them. She is also looking down at the candle, mouth slightly open. The warm candlelight is the only source of light in the image, creating shadows above their lips, noses, and foreheads. Doom never appears without his helmet in canon, but here he is pictured with an inverted yellow triangle tattoo, matching the one on his chest plate, on his right cheek. On his left cheek is a blue tattoo to match the forehead markings that Tiplee and her twin, Tiplar, shared. He has a regulation haircut with a stripe dyed green. It starts at his forehead, over his right eye, and goes over the crown of his head to the back. End ID.]

I made this for @blackkatmagic's May Rare Character Appreciation Day. I really love the excuse to draw less popular characters! :D

When I decided I wanted to draw Doom, I thought a somber scene with him and Tiplee mourning would be pretty, and then my brain was like, "Just so you know, we ship them now." And I was like

Oh No, What Have I Done?

Oh no, what have I done?

The Trouble with Tribbles is my all-time favorite episode of Star Trek: The Original Series (and the only one I remember, to be honest). I couldn’t help but imagine what could happen if in a crossover universe the clones came across tribbles. At least one of the boys would try to keep one for sure… Big mistake. Just imagine how chaotic it would be, ahah!

For those who don’t know Star Trek, a tribble is a small, furry, and adorable creature which has the particularity to reproduce very very quickly.

A Case for Rexsoka

image

I’ve been around the block when it comes to ships. I’ve seen people obsess over them, and I too have been driven mad by obsession. I was a hardcore original avatar fan and I was OBSESSED with shipping Toph and Sokka together. Any time they so much as made an interaction I over analyzed it and picked it apart looking for clues that somehow would prove that my hunches were correct. It was because I related with both characters, and I loved their chemistry. I wanted them to have a romantic relationship because it would feel like some sort of personal validation.

I’m an adult now and nothing has changed. But it has been a while since I’ve desperately shipped two characters together that are not obviously romantically involved with one another, or who could be romantic behind the scenes or beyond the story shown.

Until Rex and Ahsoka.

And I’ve seen people be adamantly against it. 

“No no no it’s just a brother/sister relationship.” 

“No it’s gross she is a child”.

And of course being disagreed with on the internet can drive a person crazy, and instead of individually arguing with dozens of people online, I’m making this post once and for all to explain why I think Rex and Ahsoka have romantic feelings for each other. Especially Rex.

The argument I’ve seen, that their deep passion, commitment, love, admiration, and respect for one another (which are all so obvious you’d have to be…silly to not see it) are felt in a platonic fashion. Which, for the first 6 seasons and 8 episodes, I would totally agree.

But then Ahsoka comes back. And let’s face it. She is a woman. Age wise, she’s around 17, but everything from the maturity of her Lekku (which weirdly don’t get all that longer, especially compared to other Tagrutan women) to her poise and confidence, to her prowess as a warrior, a user of the force, and her ability to command soldiers as well as control her emotions points to her being an adult woman. She’s no Snips anymore; she’s no child. She’s grown up. And how her peers react to her illustrates how they now view her as an adult.

image

First there is Obi-wan. Obi-wan has always been a mentor to her, a sort of second Master. Obi-wan never hesitated to guide and Ahsoka or offer his council. He is proud of her when she succeeds, and will admonish her when she makes mistakes. When she returns and he sees her as a woman, he changes the way he treats her. He acknowledges her maturity by addressing her as an equal. He doesn’t admonish her. Instead he discusses with her, challenging her ideas and letting her offer an argument for them instead of putting them down and telling her how she should think or act. He also comes to her in his time of need, trusting her to help him with Anakin.

image

Then there is Anakin. We all know of Anisoka shippers, and they are perfectly able to ship and enjoy said ship, but we can all acknowledge that it is a crack pairing with no basis in the canon. Anakin portrays the perfect kind of brotherly love. He is excited to see Ahsoka, and is stunned by her unexpected reappearance. Things are harder for Anakin because he is used to their fun banter and sibling-like companionship. He’s constantly shut down with her business like manner and he struggles with coming to terms with the fact that she isn’t a little kid sister anymore. She is an adult with a mission and a plan. When he looks at her, he is endearing. He loves her. Admires her. And he can’t wait to pick up where they left off. There’s joy and adoration in his face. He is proud of her and what she has become, but he also feels alienated and even hurt because of how her adulthood has changed their dynamic.

image
image

Then there is Rex. When he first sees her, he wants nothing more than to reassure her that she still belongs. The clones had accepted her into their family. As far as they were concerned, she was one of them. When he looks at her for the first time, he’s beaming with the same adoration as he had had for her before, but also with a solemn awe at what she has become and what she has grown into. He welcomes her back into his life without hesitation.

image
image

But then there is a moment things shift so drastically that I paused the show and re-watched it half a dozen times. We all know it and love it. This face he gives Ahsoka. The Look.

image

What we see here is something we have never, EVER seen in Rex for 7 whole seasons. And it is my opinion that this is the first time Rex has been able to feel and express that he is attracted to Ahsoka. In other words, Rex has a sexual awakening.

Up until this point, Rex has been a sexless character. Nothing he does is flirtatious, sexy, or at all suggestive that he has those feelings inside him at all. Every sexual being has a moment where they are first animalistically drawn to another being. Characters who have already had this moment are easy to pick out. Obi wan. Anakin. Ventress. These characters have already experienced their sexual awakening. Ahsoka has too. Lux was her first object of attraction.

But Rex has never had this moment. Until this reaction.

I know some of you might be thinking “but Ahsoka gives a very similar look to Anakin, does that mean she is sexually attracted to HIM?” It’s a very good point. Ahsoka and Anakin share some cheeky playful looks during “Old Friends Not Forgotten”. We see many characters give similar looks to other characters, but does this mean it means the same thing as when Rex does it? The short answer is no.

image

When animators design a character, they establish the “range of emotion” for that character. You can easily see this when you look back at how many times you see Rex break from his stoic, captain’s face. He rarely laughs, smiles, or emotes in any way. This is why when we see him emote it is exciting to us as an audience. A character like Ahsoka or Anakin commonly show a wide variety of expressions. Ahsoka is much more likely to give a cheeky look than Rex is. So “the look” for Rex, means a lot more when he is doing than it does when another character does it, say Fives or even Obi-Wan.

Which means the writers are trying to tell us something about this moment. 

This moment has changed Rex’s and Ahsoka’s relationship. 

Now does this mean that they are going to go bang each other immediately? Does this mean the second they are alone after “Victory and Death” they start an intense, sexual relationship? Of course not. That’s not what this ship is about at this time. But the reason many of us ship it is because suddenly they don’t feel like brother and sister anymore. It isn’t entirely platonic. And the show does a good job to further emphasize this as they come closer and closer both emotionally, and physically during the finale.

Blocking is a huge factor in visual storytelling. During the finale, Rex and Ahsoka are blocked in a way that makes them as close as physically possible on the screen. This communicates to the audience that they are closer now than they have ever been. As Jedi and Clone Trooper. As friends, and as companions, their bond forged in the fires of war, struggling to find meaning in life as soldiers.

image

In contrast, look how Ahsoka and Anakin are blocked in their scenes. There is nearly always a gap between them, illustrating that they are distanced from each other emotionally. Rex is even visually inserted into the gap between them in several instances. Anakin and Ahsoka are growing apart, but she and Rex are growing closer.

image

We get to experience Rex and Ahsoka engaging in actions and conversations that we had rarely seen before. From casual banter, to moments of intense intimacy, to emotional peaks, Rex and Ahsoka interact more in these four episodes than in the previous six seasons. Part of this is because their maturity gap has closed. Ahsoka is finally Rex’s equal in experience and maturity. It is also in part because it is a unique dynamic. No Obi-wan. No Anakin. Rex and Ahsoka are equal leaders of the 332nd. There’s also the fact that they are put into life threatening situations and have no one else but each other.

But there is that “look” that is given at the beginning of all this that suggests something else, that as their bond undoubtedly becomes strong as beskar, there is an element of it that takes their relationship from the platonic to the romantic.

I feel every detail, moment, and piece of dialogue in the finale tells the story of this bond. 

image
image
image
image
image
image

Many instances of their strong emotional bond have been spread throughout the internet, with most ready to acknowledge that they have a connection unlike any other, one that may even be described as a “force” connection. These last four episodes are so exciting because we see two friends reunited, but then we get to watch as their relationship transforms.

image

Even disregarding their implied attraction to each other physically, they dive into each other and hold on tight. Ahsoka shares deep personal worries with Rex, and Rex and her are shown opening up to each other in ways they have never opened up before.

image

We were all floored and dumbfounded at scenes such as these that show these characters at their most vulnerable. But they decide to be vulnerable together. Is it because they are all that is left of their 501st family? It part, this is definitely true. But by being this vulnerable they transform their relationship into something very different from what they had before. It will never be the same again, and it will be near impossible to back out of the emotional intimacy that these two have participated in. Once you have formed that kind of an attachment with someone, there is no going back, and as is seen in rebels, these two maintain that strong connection even after years of being apart.

This goes beyond their sexual desires or needs. They’ve forged a bond that cannot be broken. They have shared minds, shared pain and agony that only the other can understand. They’ve been isolated from the world, and all they have left is each other.

image

And at the end of the series, when we have Rex and Ahsoka broken, their world flip upside down and everything they ever valued or cared about lies in ruins before them, the idea that they still have each other is that beautiful seed of hope Star Wars is so good at preserving. Those of us who believe that their relationship could be romantic want good things for Rex and Ahsoka. We want them to have that love and share it with each other. Maybe only for a few moments, but having known it would be better than both of them living and dying without having that experience. 

image

When we see the two in Rebels, for me it confirms that these two love each other deeply. But their lives can never be lived in a normal fashion. They cannot even be together as partners in life. The Empire has stolen this from them. The tragedy of this ship is that it can never be the way we want it to be. Rex will age and die long before Ahsoka is even halfway through her own life. They cannot live with one another. They cannot wake each morning with each other, at least not at the point we see them in rebels. 

But they continue to love each other. Even over distance, even knowing that mortality will claim them with only a fraction of the memories that they deserve with one another. 

So please, the next time you see some art or a fic, or a post like this, think of what I had to say. Rexsoka is about two adults, their lives destroyed at the hands of Sidious, but in defiance they still forge a bond that he could never break or take from them. And that to me is beautiful and something to celebrate.

[Image ID: Digital Painting Of Commander Fox And Riyo Chuchi From Star Wars: The Clone Wars. They Are

[Image ID: Digital painting of Commander Fox and Riyo Chuchi from Star Wars: the Clone Wars. They are depicted standing in a Coruscant alleyway, shown facing one another from the knees up. Riyo wears a light purple dress with gold ornamentation and a dark indigo shawl with sweeping designs. Her headpiece and hairstyle is similar to hers in the Orto Plutonia arc, added teal beads the only difference. She is on the left and looking up at Commander Fox, who is in his standard Coruscant Guard Armor sans helmet. Riyo looks concerned, while Fox is downcast. The two are holding hands. End ID.] Thanks to @padme–amygdala for letting me add their image ID to this post!

This doubles as fanart from @amukmuk‘s amazing fic, “Perception,” and as a contribution to day six (Secret: private, secluded, undercover) of @foxiyoweek. :)

I won’t spoil anything, but in this scene, Fox was just reminded of how low many people’s opinions of clones are. It makes me angry and breaks my heart at the same time. T____T

I had sooo much fun with the paint job on Fox’s Phase I armor, and playing around with Riyo’s fancy outfit was challenging but also a good time!

hi just wanted to pop in and say i adore that rex and cody piece you just posted (': idk how long it took you to make it (i imagine quite some time; it's so detailed and pretty?!?!) but i'm glad you decided to take longer on it and do the cool lighting cause it looks amazing!!! (also cody and rex with the different rankings on their greys is really fun and i'm impressed with the attention to accuracy!! ...and also bless you for putting them in greys :D we need more clones in greys and gosh you made them look so good!!!)

Aaah, thank you so much, that means a lot! °д° I wanted to add a lot more details like graffity on the wall and maybe more stuff on the table, but after I’d finished the lighting I just kinda... forgot.

Your message made me super happy (as do your tags... and basically everytime I see you on my dash, you are an absolute darling) so please take this humble offering of Dogma, because I know you like him!

Also in his Greys, only that they’re black because my quick research showed that that’s what non-officers seem to get? Maybe? It’s all very vague.
