🌿 doesn’t have to be romantic but can be. Honestly I just love the concept of mistletoe, and I wanna see what you do with it. Best of luck!

A Hero’s Reward

mistletoe edition This is sort of an AU version of Bas’riish, who has smuggled herself into @taraum’s most excellent Motivations story arc.

“Oh, Master Jed-aiiiiiiiiiiii!” the sing-song voice called out.

Jedi Master Daesha Ven – known throughout the free galaxy as the Hero of Tython – turned away from the Corellian councilwoman she’d been speaking with.

The Life-Day party on Corellia was the first R&R her crew had been offered in weeks. Given Daesha’s role in liberating the world from Imperial occupation less than a year before, she and her crew had been granted guest of honor status. She couldn’t deny her friends the break.

Kira was enjoying herself, dancing with some Corellian pilots. Teeseven was playing music for the room. Rusk was telling old war stories to a handful of Republic soldiers over drinks. Doc was – predictably – hitting on women while Scourge – perhaps even more predictably – was off brooding somewhere.

As she turned, she observed a familiar green-skinned twi’lek in a rather revealing outfit approach.

Captain Bas’riish had been indispensable during fighting on Corellia, foiling an Imperial attack on the shipyards before aiding Daesha’s Jedi forces in evacuating civilian refugees. Daesha had learned to appreciate her skills as well as her values; few smugglers could be expected to care about the well-being of others.

Tonight, Bas’riish was surprisingly dressed in a bright red shimmersilk gown, one with a plunging v-neck and a fit that showed off the Twi’leks curves and plenty of skin besides. Daesha had never seen the smuggler wear something so formal; she could barely make out the blasters strapped to the inner thighs of the skirt.

And she was approaching Daesha like a nexu appraising a womp rat.

“Good evening, Captain.” Daesha smiled. “Its so good to see you again…”

“Same here!” Bas’riish’s grin widened. “Call me ‘Bas’. And look - I brought you something!”

Daesha could not imagine from whereBas’riish had pulled out the sprig of mistletoe. But the next thing she knew, the Twi’lek had stepped into her personal space, and was holding the small plant above the Jedi’s head with her left hand.

“I think a Hero like you deserves a reward, don’t you?” she smirked.

Daesha felt a flush come to her cheeks.

“Oh, that’s really not necessary, Captain.” She started. “I don’t really…”

That was as much as Daesha could get out before the Twi’lek smuggler reached out with her right hand, grabbing the Jedi behind the neck and pulling her in, pressing her lips against Daesha’s.

The Jedi Master froze up in shock as she felt a surge pulse through her. Bas’riish’s tongue had slipped into her mouth and was even now skillfully caressing Daesha’s own.

It was over before she could react, the smuggler looking up at her in satisfaction as Daesha’s cheeks burned in embarrassment.

The Jedi was out of breath, and at a complete loss for words.

The smuggler patted her cheek.

“See? I knew you’d like that.” Her eyes widened suddenly, something behind Daesha alarming her.

“Oops! Time to make my escape. Comm me sometime, okay?”

Bas’riish winked at her, then darted off, moving far more quickly in the tight gown than Daesha would have thought possible.

The low voice came from over her shoulder, snapping her out of her shock.

“Who was that?” Scourge’s words were mundane, but his tone could have torn through a battle cruiser.

Daesha swallowed, recovering. She could feel Scourge’s rage, but at the same time, he had a steadying influence over her. She had given him her heart, and in turn, his strength empowered her.

“No one.” She lied.

When Inspiration Goes To Far

So - Let me begin by saying that this is a story of me screwing up.

I have several SWTOR OCs - not many, but a few - who were inspired in part by the characters of other people's stories.

Kayeh Antilles is very loosely inspired by @taraum 's Daesha Ven. Moyraah Gargun is very loosely inspired by @inyri 's Nine. And so on.

They are NOT intended to be the same characters, but I was thinking about those creator’s characters when I made my own.

So - two of my other OCs - who I will not name here - were inspired by a piece of fanfiction I read some time ago - which I also will not name here.

Now these characters are quite different from their inspirations, and that has only become more so the more I develop them.

BUT - the other day I read that earlier piece of fic that I enjoyed so much, and I realized something, much to my embarrassment:

I had copied the characters' names. Almost exactly.

I didn't mean to, but I did.

Now... I feel like I have a problem.

Should I scrap the idea of those characters and their story entirely? Should I rename them, even though I've put out a lot of content for them? Should I reach out to the author of the original fic and apologize?

Thanks. Hanging up now.
