Junior Guard Captain Garazeb and Underworld crime prince Sasha fall into each other's orbit and hard. This is the 'verse where they have complimentary force powers; Guard (Zeb, empath) and Watcher (Kallus, heightened senses). you can check out the sketch phases of this here. Zeb characterization and general Lasan HCs courtesy of @sidhebeingbrand

Not ten minutes after meeting, Sasha tries to use Zeb as his ticket off Coruscant, which creates something of a diplomatic incident.

The Kallus' aren't a very powerful underworld gang, but they don't want to lose Sasha and are more than willing to become a pain in the surface's ass to get him back. Zeb's superiors don't want any of that, but there's a hiccup; Zeb and Sasha are already 'bonded'. Their auras compliment one another, and have more or less interlocked in what little time they've known each other. Untangling them now would be a process. That, and Sasha has told them some concerning things about how his family treats him and his gift.

So the plan becomes; parlay with the Kallus Family down in the Underworld.

It goes better than expected, all things considered. Sasha's family wants him to stay and are willing to accept assistance from the Lasat, because they're under no illusions that their family's way of doing things is working. Sasha's magic has always been more than either his brother or grandmother could handle. If the Lasat are willing to spare a teacher, the Kallus' will put them up and treat them like family.

Which means Zeb is going to stay.

Sasha is furious. He wants to stay with Zeb, yeah, but he wanted to go with him to Lasan. Not ruin the guy's whole career by getting him stuck in the frozen ass-end of Coruscant's basement sectors.

There's one place Sasha goes when he's feeling trapped and overstimulated. At the bottom of level 1996--a level comprised entirely of the piping needed to keep the above levels running--is a giant empty space where the next level should be. Over a hundred stories of nothing between the pipes of '96 and the sewage pit of 1994. This is where Sasha goes to worship his god. The Lasat know him as the Bendu--the one who walks in the middle--but in the north-eastern sectors of the Underworld, they simply call it 'The Void'. It isn't the kind of god to lend its favor, but it is there all the same, and it will listen. Sasha comes to it often to vent his frustrations, to scream into the dark, and this time, Zeb follows.

The whole thing freaks Zeb out. He's a good, devout child of the Ashla, and this big yawning pit his bonded feels compelled to dangle over scares him shitless. He respects the Bendu, respects Sasha as a child of the Between, so he doesn't interfere. Zeb does, however, reel Sasha into the safety of his own arms the second his crazy little human is done.

That's when this conversation happens. Across their bond, in the privacy of their auras, Zeb promises the next time he sees the stars, Sasha will be there beside him. "I know why it calls to you now, the emptiness."

A shiver works its way through Sasha. "Why are you like this?" he asks, pressing into Zeb's space, forehead to forehead. "You just promise like it's nothing."

"To be your Guard is everything. I do not want another bondmate. Terrifying small human."

Sasha's laugh is a little wheezy and broken. He forces a grin as he asks "what if?" aloud, pretending it's a game, a new way to tease the overly serious Guard, and that there's no growing fear he may misstep and give Zeb reason to abandon him.

Zeb says he doesn't know, but then counters; "what if I steal you?"

The question is left unanswered--they aren't alone in the 1996 and need to get going--but it isn't forgotten. Nor Zeb's promise that one day, the two of them will hunt the stars.

Random defectors bits that have crossed our mind the past few days:

---

Ezra [17]: Ally, would you still love me if I were a worm??

Kallus: yes. My answer has not changed in eight years.

Ezra: just checking :]

---

Ezra, 7 y/o and just opening up to Kallus: how old are you????

Kallus, internally: [I could tell him what my forged papers say. But I don't want to start this off with lies. He's just starting to trust me.]

Kallus: I am 23.

Ezra: *immediately brings his palms up/looks down at his hands to count*

Kallus: ???

Ezra: you were 16 when I was born!

Kallus, thinking that this is the most adorable thing he's ever seen: I was.

Ezra: I thought that Tua said you were closer to her age?

Kallus: because that's what my file says. It's a secret.

Ezra: a secret? Why?

Kallus: because I had to lie to be allowed to enlist on the academy on coruscant.

Ezra: so everyone thinks you're older than you actually are?

Kallus: most of them. It was harder to keep a secret when I was younger, but as the years go on its less noticeable.

---

Kallus consistently reassuring Ezra, encouraging him. He tells him how great he's doing at something, how quick he learns, how clever he is, highlights his strengths, and soothes his insecurities.

It all encourages Ezra to do more, to be more confident and comfortable. Ezra looks forward to showing Kallus all the things he does, telling him about what he did.

Sometimes it's Ezra seeking Kallus out when he's unsure or feeling dread. Kallus is always so gentle with him and kind. Warm and soft; safe.

---

Morad, near the beginning of getting to know Kallus and trying to figure out how much he can trust him: I've noticed a few things and was wondering if I could ask you a question?

Kallus, finishing up a case before putting the tablet away to continue watching Ezra run and play in the Sumar fields: most certainly, Mr. Sumar.

Morad: you aren't the most patient person and I've heard how you temper can grow shorter.

Kallus: something I'm working on yes, but I assure you, at no point will Ezra be receiving such from me.

Morad: that's what I wanted to ask about. I've also seen how you put much more effort and intention into keeping calm and level headed with Ezra. And I know for quite a few months he wasn't making that easy.

Kallus: Ezra’s entire world as he knew it got turned around and he is only seven. Angry outbursts are the least of what's to be expected.

Morad: even still, some of the best people I know don't always have that type of control over their anger or patience.

Kallus: When I was around Ezra's age, i... *pauses to gage how much he's going to share* was a very difficult child in a difficult situation. I didn't trust anyone and most people had no sympathy for me.

Morad: so you're trying to be who you didn't have?

Kallus: I'm trying to be the one person I did have. There was this miralukan chef from a few levels up. They made consistent efforts to try and gain my trust.

-Morad realizes that Kallus was most probably from the lower levels of coruscant rather than the upper crust.

Kallus: I can't tell you how many times I lashed out at them and fled. I thought they were going to hurt me. But. They kept trying.

-Morad pieces together that Kallus grew up on the streets, but unlike Ephraim, most people weren't kind to him.

Kallus: and eventually, I did trust them enough to accept the food and clothing they brought me. I would follow them sometimes to see where they were going, where they came from. I sought them out and they would help me.

Kallus: it didn't take long after that, they took me in but I was still so temperamental. I still lashed out. But they always kept patient. They never lashed back at me.

Kallus: in fact, it stuck out to me that they never turned their anger to me, their impatience. I've seen them get angry at other people. Yell at them, scream at them, even have physical altercations. But...

Morad: they made it a point to be patient and gentle with you.

Kallus: Yeah. And for the longest time I thought they were just being the kindest person in the universe. But when I met Ezra, it struck me just how young I had been when I was in such a position.

Morad: kids have a way of realigning how you perceive things.

Kallus: that they do.

So I made a deal with my girl @accidental-spice, and now, thanks to this spectacular fan art... have a Mermay ficlet

“It’s really unfair,” Kanan mused, propping an arm against the dock. Hera, who was sitting next to him, her bare feet dangling in the water, lifting an eyebrow at him.

“What’s that?”

“I mean, here I am, a Mer,” he said, gesturing at himself. “And here you are, a pirate queen.”

“Captain, not queen.”

“Close enough. Yet between the two of us, you’re the one with the better voice,” he pointed out, flicking his tail back and forth, catching the sunlight on the glimmering teal scales. “The most beautiful one I’ve ever heard, in fact.”

Hera shook her head at him, giving him an affectionately exasperated look. “Why do I spend my free time listening to your attempts at flirting?”

“It’s true!” Kanan protested.

“Uh-huh. Flirting or not, I still can’t believe you were spying on me while I was singing.”

“Is it really spying if it’s unintentional?” Kanan pointed out. “And I did already apologize for that. I’ll do it again if you want me to.”

Shaking her head, Hera said, “It’s fine— I just don’t understand why you wouldn’t just ask me about it.”

Kanan hesitated, his gaze dropping to the wood of the dock. “It’s… different for Mer,” he said, sounding uncharacteristically unsure of himself. “I can’t just ask you to— to sing for me.”

“Why?” Hera asked, her brows knitting together. She’d known Kanan for close to a year now, and she’d never seen him this flustered. In fact, it almost looked like he was blushing.

“Well. You know.” He coughed, running a hand through his hair. “It’s like… declaring your intentions for someone. Your intentions to… court.”

Hera’s eyes widened. “Oh.”

“Yeah.” Kanan was quiet for a minute. When he finally looked up, however, his face wore the same easy good humor as it always did. “Don’t worry, Captain Hera— if I ever ask you about that, it won’t be for a while yet. The pre-courtship courting has to last at least a year, you know.”

Hera scoffed. “Oh, please. You’re nowhere near courting in human terms, you know.”

“Really? Care to give me some pointers on some of those human traditions?” Kanan leaned a little bit closer, flashing the flirtatious smile that she knew at this point was really just teasing.

That didn’t mean her heart didn’t speed up a little, though. Nor did it change the fact that she’d been having a harder time pulling her gaze away from his lately, or the way she’d almost blushed at some of his more flirtatious comments earlier. Or the fact that Hera had been really, truly excited to see him this time.

But none of that was part of her life. She was captain of a ship that was wanted in twelve countries, and that didn’t leave time for relationships. Certainly not with a merman, of all things, which had its own list of complications.

So instead, she used her foot to flick water at him. “You wish.”

Rearing back dramatically, Kanan said, “Oh, really? You want to start a water fight with a merman? You’re gonna regret that one, Captain Hera.”

“Don’t you dare—” the rest of her sentence was cut off with a yelp as Kanan lifted his tail out of the water and slapped it down again, showering them both in freezing cold sea water.

Sputtering, Hera glared at him. “You’re going to pay for that one.”

“Bring it on, Captain.”

Hey yall remember the Ezra & Kallus Defectors AU Concept, yeah?

Well here's a random scene, courtesy of Alex working on healing some of our parenting wounds vicariously through fanfiction. :)

Ezra sneers up at Kallus, anger rising in the kid as his glare pierces through the man. "Yeah, well, at least they didn't abandon me. They've been by my side since the day they met me."

Kallus freezes and digests Ezra’s words. And even though they hurt, even though it's his biggest regret the past few years, Kallus doesn't lash back at Ezra in retaliation.

Instead, he softens his stance, backs off. "You're right. And you have every right to be pissed at me over it. You're allowed to be angry." Kallus is not about to try and invalidate the betrayal Ezra feels. Because no matter the reason Kallus had to leave Ezra, he still left him. Even if it had been to protect him, Kallus still left Ezra. And Ezra is more than allowed to hold that against him.

Kallus expects Ezra to yell more, to let out his anger that he's held over Kallus’s decision for the past few years.

Shock rattles Kallus when he sees tears forming in the kid's eyes shortly before Ezra surges forward, nearly knocking them both to the ground. Kallus instinctively wraps his arms around the smaller human.

He’s grown so much.

But he's still so young.

"I don't want to be angry at you. I just want you to come home."

Kallus’s breath audibly hitches, the act of breathing almost too much to bear as he feels his face heat up, tears forming in his own eyes.
