Slushies, Blackmail Collection, and Also Everyone is Losing Their Minds (If You Ask Silver Wolf) by FictionalCricket

Summary

Silver Wolf takes a sip of her slushie, watching cherry flavored liquid rise and fall within the straw. Then a far more reluctant bite of the meh burger she got at the slushie place, but a deal is a deal, to be honored or risk losing access to her games etc etc. She glances at the apple she got for basically the same reason, but that’s for later. Then she goes back to skimming the feed from Star Rail FEST on her phone, because it’s kinda being productive. (It’s the greatest spot for stuff to tease Stelle about later she’s seen in her life.)
More importantly, it’s distracting enough that she won’t look up by accident. She took enough psychic damage last time she did that, thanks.

Or, "Silver Wolf, aroace queen trapped on all angles by people in gay situationships", as my friend put it. Silver Wolf has not figured this out yet.

“…what are you asking me to do?” Dan Heng asks carefully.

Blade shifts slightly. “Some fragments of the Shard Sword were too small for me to remove on my own.”

Oh.

…I see.

After the battle, Blade asks Dan Heng for help removing fragments of the Shard Sword.

Taylir Par Ni Gar Casa (Save For Me Your Nights) by FictionalCricket

Summary

The Mando'ade have a long tradition of verse, and the more well known war songs are far from the only subject Mandalorian poets have tackled.
Enclosed herein is Taylir Par Ni Gar Casa, one of the oldest known love poems in Mando'a, translated to Galactic Basic (translator's notes included).

Or, I had an idea that I could write a poem old enough that Mandalorian Wars/KOTOR era characters could reference it, and things escalated from there.

Summary

It's been seventeen years since Balto was forced to leave his home, and Lester and Miriam Fair, behind. He did not expect his old friends to send a letter saying that their son had left Gongaga for Midgar, and planned to put himself in immense danger by joining the SOLDIER program.
Balto expected even less that he would be already too late.

Or, Balto crashes out over finding out that his friends' kid is A, in Midgar, and B, in danger, and almost stabs someone (Angeal) over it. Almost.

Summary

“I can see the exhaustion in your face,” Evanescia frowns. It’s true; even if the general’s eternally beautiful face doesn’t seem to betray any signs of fatigue to the average person, Evanescia is not… an average person. She can tell.

Yao Guang finally sighs and averts her lovely gaze. “You’re… quite the perceptive one, dear fox.”

“You’re cute like this,” Evanescia lightheartedly replies.

“I- excuse me?”

- - -

After the chaotic events of 4.2, Yao Guang pays Evanescia a visit in the Phantasmoon Courtyard.

Summary

Tighnari could hear him shuffling around the medicine table, completely unbothered by Tighnari’s lack of attention. Bottles clinked against wood and Tighnari’s ears twitched in annoyance at the sound. Glass was great for keeping medication stable, but that noise was irritating.
“What are you doing here? Aren’t you in exile, do you want to be arrested?” Tighnari broke the silence with a final swipe of the ink brush over the report, and finally turned to Cyno.
“It’s self-imposed exile. Don’t you have a mechanical life form in the corner of your room? Do you want to be arrested?” Cyno asked back, a single raised eyebrow giving away his pride at having a comeback. He placed the glass bottle back down, giving Tighnari an apologetic look when his ears flattened at the sharp noise.
Visits between the desert and the forest are few and far between, but that makes it no less special.
