They spend three days together, in separate bedrooms, and Parjaya works the last day so he can’t see her off, but it’s good. The companionable atmosphere from their comm conversations carried over.
“Next time, you need to come visit me,” she tells him, grinning as she sees him off.
“I will, as soon as I get enough leave lined up.” He goes up on his toes and kisses the corner of her mouth. She flushes. “Ret’urcye mhi.”
“Ret’urcye mhi,” she echoes, watching him go. She touches where he kissed and slowly a smile creeps over her face. As she turns back into the house she can’t conceal her emotions anymore. She punches the air and lets out a shrill shriek of delight. “Yes! Shab, yes!”
She grins the whole way back to Concordia.
Thank you to the amazing @nottonyharrison for accepting my commission to draw Parjaya and Utrelsor’s first kiss from Kettle of Shig Chapter Two. Working with her on this was delightful.

Hey I need to yell at you about Pack Play
First I wanna mention doppelgänger twice. I like him. He's basically the same as canon but I like him. Anyway, 
Once again your world building shines. Mating houses, what some wolves think of chew toys, the logistics of a rut room—love it love it love it
I know these two are probably a shade less platonic than a different pack would be, but I LOVE that the grooming and shared cycles ARE considered platonic. 
"Maybe, but you're my pack, And I take care of you." Delicious
The chuffing, dabi showing his stomach, shig nipping his throat, dabi WAITING FOR PERMISSION TO KEEP USING THE TOY!!! All the inhuman cues that show Dabi's submission are making me insane
And thinking about it from Shigs perspective??? The pretty, prickly alpha that probably challenged him at their first meeting now wants to be used so badly that he fucking goes limp???? And even better, it's because he trusts him?? 🥴🥴🥴
And don't get me wrong I love bitching, but this flavor of. Fuck idk. Domestic submission? Service kink? Wolves submitting to their leader no matter their dynamic, nearly got me skipping into work this morning
I'm curious about their biology in this too. Shig has a secondary sex, but dabi doesn't? Does that mean alphas are usually male and omegas female? Do pack dynamics change that, like could an omega be the alpha of a pack?
FEELING LIKE SHIG MATED HIM WITH THE CHEW TOY??????!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEE I AM SCREAMING LIKE A TEA KETTLE. IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE THAT THEY'D GET LIKE A HORMONE RUSH FROM THE SCENT OF BLOOD WHILE FUCKING!!!
Thank you to whoever commissioned this, and of course to you tanco!!!
ehehehe thank you for yelling!
I know I talk about fics re-writing my brain chemistry, but god damn did this one fucking do that too! I had such a good time exploring a different interpretation of werewolf lore!
Shig was definitely losing it to his instincts to see Dabi displaying such perfect submission when, up to this point, he'd barely acknowledged him as his pack, let alone his alpha. It definitely made everything a little less platonic on his end right from the jump!
Yeessss, I really like this concept of pack dynamics for a world where secondary sexes aren't really a thing anymore. Like this is a world where ABO dynamics existed a very long time ago, but they were bred out of the population because they weren't as strong as just having synced cycles and pack-mating (especially for turned packs, which usually outnumber born packs). If there were male omegas/female alphas, they wouldn't exist in this day and age. And the holdovers of ABO traits are very mild, like with Shig who can just continue having a knot through his whole cycle, it's not that much of a difference to a normal male wolf like Dabi (even his thought that Shig's cycle would last longer, ended up being an incorrect assumption because they ended at the same time). On the other side, female wolves who have traces of Omega still in them might produce more slick that smells more strongly, but that's about it. It's not a notable difference and in a few more generations, these traits will likely be eradicated completely because they don't have a real biological/evolutionary advantage in modern society. These holdovers are entirely biological, and don't impact pack dynamics! Wolves of any sex or gender can be alphas, but there aren't pack omegas or betas, "alpha" now just refers to the leader of the group, and no one identifies as having a secondary sex in wolf society.
The psychosexual impact of having that smell and the fake flesh in their mouths nearly made the two of them feral, and we love that for them!! You bet your ass that the next time their cycle hits, they're going to be out there taking chomps out of each other's throats until their scents are so tangled that they'll give any other wolf/pret a headache if they are within a five-mile radius of them.
Thank you so much for commenting!

On the buddhista hc I have no words
The worst hc I remember by now...
Izu is a creepy stalker. God I hate those.
Ochako is super poor and she has some eating disorder bc "she is too poor"
Shoto is deadly afrait of keetles and is used as a joke in fics.
Iida is a robot.
Have seen one where Izu is a bully....😒
Dfo (sorry it was bad since day 1)
Izu is a Shimura (same)
Shig and Izu are bros (wtf?)
LoV as family.
God I hate the Izuku is a stalker headcanon, especially when it’s been shown that Izuku has tried to intentionally avoid Katsuki after a while. If anything, Katsuki’s the stalker. He’s always following Izuku to start shit or eavesdrop on convos he’s having.
Ochako is weird cause while it’s mentioned she’s poor to the point where she’s got a flip phone, her family’s somehow also able to afford an apartment for her.
Hate the kettle theory with a passion. Him not wanting to use a kettle because it constantly reminds him of what his father did to the Todoroki family is one thing, but using it as a joke is so insensitive.
The Tenya robot thing is a misunderstanding of his character.
I have no opinions on the DFO and the Izuku is a Shimura theory. Izuku being bros with Tomura works in an AU setting but if someone thinks it’s canon, they clearly were reading a completely different story.
LoV as a family is one I can see, but also one I can’t tell if it’s true or not.

Every time I hear you say "HE!" in regards to Shigaraki, I picture a tea kettle doing a high pitched whistle. You enthusiasm makes me very happy.
Aaaaah this is so cute and so sweet!!!
Thank you, I’m happy that my enthusiasm makes YOU happy! It’s just that whenever I see Shig I am just compelled to be extra and scream my joy out there on the internet, I see him and my brain goes “oh wow!!! it’s him!!! ly boy!!! it’s he!!! he!!! the boy whomst i love!!! wow wow wow!!!”
Shigaraki Tomura is making this teapot really happy :D

Something that amuses me is that one of the most common criticisms I see of Shig’s character is that he has no solid motivation except evil for the sake of evil (and I mean that’s a whole other kettle of fish but that’s not the point of this post). That’s funny to me because do you know what other villains carry very similar criticisms frequently? Video game villains.
Idk man I just like the idea that Shigaraki “Game Over” Tomura enjoys being evil because he wants to be like the cool characters in the video games that were the closest thing he had to human interaction during his adolescence.

We’re live on Ao3! Rated T, Archive Warning for Major Character Death (it’s more implied than anything and is at the very end of the fic)
 There haven’t been Vhett children with Vizsla blood since the Mandalorian Wars were in living memory. There has never been a Vhett elected Mand’alor.
 The only Mand’alore the Fetts have in their history married in. To the point the clan is almost a hidden pedigree. If Mando’ade back then cared about it, it would have been enough to have many Fetts elected after. But instead, they’re only known to the general population as descendents of Cassus Vhett. Now days, there’s more care, but unless you’re interested in other clans’ genealogy or you’re related to Jaster Mereel, history nut that he is, you wouldn’t know.
  Despite everything, he still surprises her and leans over, taking her hands and squeezing them. “I still want to say the riduurok with you, though.”
 “You’ll risk getting pulled into this mess?” she asks.
 He shrugs. “I know what I’m signing on for.”
 She squeezes his hands back. “Then I want to, too.”
Utrelsor Vizsla builds her life as a Fett and watches the family she was born into fall apart.

Kettle of Shig (Chapter One Preview)
I’m going to try and get the next chapter done before I post this in full, but I figured I should show you all a bit of my new WIP.
Tag Preview:
Characters: Jango Fett’s Mother, Original Mandalorian Characters, Jaster Mereel, Tor Vizsla, Jango Fett’s Father, Arla Fett, Jango Fett
Abrieviated Tags: Dysfunctional Family, past Jaster Mereel/Tor Vizsla, Mandalorian Culture, Mandalorian Adoption, Force Sensitive Mand’alore, Angst, Mandalorian Courting, Political Alliances, Falling in Love, Marriage Proposals, Weddings, Pregnancy, Babies, Children, Parenthood, Mandalorian Civil War, Canon Compliant,
And a bit from the first chapter, which involves everything up to Angst:
“Do you know when Tor gets back from the mine check?” Jaster asks. He looks out the window.
Sometimes Utrelsor wonders why Kori’buir didn’t let them court, why he adopted Jaster instead, but she knows more about politics than she should to let herself wonder too much. “You can do better than him,” she says instead of changing the subject or just telling him.
Jaster scowls and firmly doesn’t look at her. The tips of his ears go a little red. “I just—.”
“One day you’re going to find someone awesome,” she says with a sniff. “And I’m going to tell you ‘I told you so’ and make you get a dumb tattoo with whoever the guy’s name is, and he’ll be just as smart as you and a hell of a lot less prideful.”
“It’s not like that,” Jaster protests weakly. “We just have plans to spar tonight.”
“Ah hah.”
Her accent on that particular phrase breaks the tension, sending Jaster into frantic giggling that a man his size shouldn’t be able to produce. “Sometimes I do wonder if you like your ori’vod,” he admits after a moment.
“Of course I do.” She trusts Tor more than anyone with her worries, but right now she’s between boyfriends and doesn’t have any.
“So do you not like me?” he asks.
Utrelsor stares at him. She throws the stylus at him.
It bounces off his forehead and results in a look like a surprised gi.
“Of course I like you, di’kut. It feels like you always should have been here, most of the time. You’re my ori’vod too, so don’t forget it.”
Jaster smiles, but it’s really sad in comparison to earlier. She wonders, sometimes, about what he left behind on Concord Dawn.
She’d like to give his old boss a piece of her mind. And a few broken teeth.
Hmm, maybe she can convince her project for this season to be hunting down the aliit of the bastard Jaster got exiled for killing. They may be rich but they’re not as powerful as the Vizslas.
Her thoughts are interrupted by the door to the library swinging open. They both look over to find Tor, his intact beskar’gam still coated in mine dust, with a manic edge to his eyes but a big grin.
“Don’t breathe in too much dust, di’kut,” Utrelsor drawls.
“Yeah,” Jaster adds in a matching drawl.
The manic edge ebbs away and is replaced with a pout. “Stop ganging up on me.”
The two of them share a look, then look back at their vod. As one, they say, “Nayc.”
“You’re both horrible, you know that? Absolutely terrible, the worst siblings a man could ask for. I ought to tie you both by your feet from the announcement poll!”
“Tor,” Utrelsor says, smiling.
He shuts his mouth and gulps.
“What did you need that made you step into our calm, peaceful, quiet library while still covered in mine dust?”
“Oh.” Tor flushes. “Kori’buir wants to see us.”
Ah.
“Go change and have someone hose your beskar off,” Jaster says, taking charge. “We’ll make shig.”

Kettle of Shig (Chapter Two Preview)
A few days later, when she arrives at Jaster’s apartment, she snaps the typical holo of the family’s academic dead-eyed after meetings and, instead of just sending it to Kori’buir and Tor, she whims to send it to Parjaya too.
[He hasn’t changed.] is what she gets in return.
And that starts it.
He sends her a buy’ce snap of a brawl with one of his colleagues looking on with clear disdain and annoyance in the foreground.
She sends him a snap of the younger kids she’s helping train for their verd’goten acting similarly.
Meat skewers from a market day.
Jaster’s horrible pantry.
A pan of tiingilar in progress.
A view of the forest.
A view of the vhettin.
Each snap is followed by hours of messages exchanged in bursts during their bits of free time, talking to each other and learning about each other, making jokes between the two of them, comforting each other about loneliness and frustration.
Her family notices how often she smiles at her comm. Kori’buir says nothing, just looks smug, so he’s easy enough to ignore. Jaster always asks about Parjaya with genuine friendship.
Tor is the one who takes issue with it.
“What’s so great about this guy?” he asks, leaning over her shoulder while she shoves his chin up so he can’t look. “I swear you smile more at your comm than people.”
She sticks her tongue out at him from where she’s curled up in one of the library chairs, typing out a response to a recipe Parjaya has sent her. She may not cook but she likes to eat, and she knows when something won’t work.
“When are we going to meet him?” Tor asks after it’s clear she won’t humour him about details.
“I don’t want you scaring off my new friend,” she drawls, sniggering when he pouts dramatically. “Come on Tor, let me keep him to myself a bit longer.”
“Are you going to date him?”
She shrugs. She’d like to. He’s cute and funny and smart and, like Jaster had said, he’s calm. It’s made her look at her life seriously to try and see what is different. He’s attractive to her not just physically and mentally, she’s realized. The kind of life he lives, the kind of pace that Concord Dawn seems to have… She likes it.
She wouldn’t be disappointed with her life, to go there.
Her comm beeps and she opens up the message. It’s another snap, this time of a large tree. It’s looking up and the perspective makes it look like it’s going on forever, with thick bark that rounds into swirls, almost as if the shapes are carved in to make them stand out more as they grow. She can’t tell how wide it is either, except that she probably couldn’t get her arms to even tap on the other side.
Another beep, this time a snap with a very different view. It’s looking down through foliage, out at the vhetin she’s seen before. It’s cosy, she thinks, and private.
It’s the tree that Jaster said that Parjaya always hung out in.
Oh.
She hops up and shoves Tor to the side.
“What the…”
She ignores him, instead slinking through the shelves back to the area she goes when she wants to be alone, the place that’s hers and has been hers since she could remember. It’s just a little corner, by a window, with a look out to the dark green and mist of the forest that surrounds the compound.
She takes the snap, checks the composition, and sends it.
It’s a return gift. He showed her something personal, something just his. So she does the same.
She looks up from the comm out at the shivering fog and trees.
She needs to see him again.
[You can read chapter one on SquidgeWorld and Ao3. Chapter Two goes up on Sunday and Monday respectively.]

I only have one chapter left to write of Kettle of Shig. Hardly the end of it, because I have a few Parjaya POV oneshots planned, two sequels, and a canon divergence AU. But.
It’s still going to be the end.
I’m so happy with everyone who has been reading along, everyone who has found it ongoing, and everyone who will read it in the future. There’s been a lot of unexpected and expected pain while writing this.
Sorry I’ve not been great about posting links here on tumblr. My job has been taking most of my energy. I write while the gallery is empty, typically, but try not to tumblr too much. Especially this month (Kettle and other fics are doing most of the NaNo work for me this month, because I’m working more hours than planned).
Anyways. Pretty much every chapter from the one posted last Sunday/Monday on have High Emotions. I’m not (entirely) sorry.

Kettle of Shig: Chapters 3 & 4
I was swamped last week, so this is a round up for Kettle of Shig chapters.
Chapter 3 on SquidgeWorld and Ao3
Chapter 4 on SquidgeWorld and Ao3
This fic updates Sundays on SquidgeWorld and Mondays on Ao3.
For anyone unaware, summary and tags under the cut:
 There haven’t been Vhett children with Vizsla blood since the Mandalorian Wars were in living memory. There has never been a Vhett elected Mand’alor.
 The only Mand’alore the Fetts have in their history married in. To the point the clan is almost a hidden pedigree. If Mando’ade back then cared about it, it would have been enough to have many Fetts elected after. But instead, they’re only known to the general population as descendents of Cassus Vhett. Now days, there’s more care, but unless you’re interested in other clans’ genealogy or you’re related to Jaster Mereel, history nut that he is, you wouldn’t know.
  Despite everything, he still surprises her and leans over, taking her hands and squeezing them. “I still want to say the riduurok with you, though.”
 “You’ll risk getting pulled into this mess?” she asks.
 He shrugs. “I know what I’m signing on for.”
 She squeezes his hands back. “Then I want to, too.”
Utrelsor Vizsla builds her life as a Fett and watches the family she was born into fall apart.

For the Depenn prompts;
❝  you’ve stolen my heart,  the least you could do is tell me what you intend to do with it.  ❞ from the yearning prompt list? 👀
This was fun!
(currently accepting Depa/Fenn prompts)
Fenn is pretty sure his brain just malfunctioned. The question is more about whether or not it happened before or after he heard those words from the woman he’s been referring to, in the privacy of his own mind, as his Jetii. The noise that comes out of his mouth, something like the whistle of a shig kettle, does nothing to help him figure it out.
“My, I thought you’d be better at hearing these things,” Depa says, voice crackling over the comm in his buy’ce, “considering you’re always telling me them.”
He swallows hard enough she probably hears it. “I don’t think I’ve ever said something like that,” he tries.
“‘You are more beautiful than any star in the galaxy,’ ‘I’ll never forget your laugh as long as I live,’ ‘My heart aches for—.’”
“Oookay, point taken,” he says, laughing at his own lines and the fact she’s remembered them. His face feels warm. “Fair play, my lady.”
She snorts lightly. “Fenn.”
He grins, even if she can’t see it. “You still thinking you and the kid are going to come visit once the war’s over?”
“Absolutely. You made a compelling argument. And I think I’d like to just...be somewhere quiet for a while. I mentioned it to my old master and I think if he was able to he’d have shoved us off immediately, war be damned.” She laughs again, but it’s strained this time.
His heart clenches. “Understandable. Well, I’m looking forward to it.” His HUD blinks distractingly and he scowls. “Same time tomorrow?”
There’s some shuffling. “Hour earlier work for you? I have a meeting.”
“I’ll make it work,” he promises. “Ret’urcye mhi.”
“May the Force be with you,” she replies.
The smile in her voice is absolutely what he’s blaming his successes in this battle on.
