Okay! I need to start posting pictures from this last month at some point, so let’s start with an easy grouping: a pile of works by @cacodaemonia! When my friend was (actively and deliberately) dragging me down deeper and deeper into the star wars pit, okay, so just imagine her hiding around the corner as I amble along, just minding my own business, her holding the reconstruction corps verse like a baseball bat, lying in wait
It worked!! Oh boy did it work. Will You Walk With Me dragged me in hard, Open Skies sunk its hooks into me, and I was an easy target when Cartography started dropping (and then I was deep enough to start looking up what happens to these characters in canon dgfhjg (we don’t talk about canon))
So! Here we’ve got the RCAU as it was like two and a half weeks ago, so it’s definitely a snapshot of a living verse, but it’s such a shame to hold off binding an au that’s in motion because you’re waiting for it to Conclude. The marbled fabrics with dots are for one shots (WYWYM in orange, Cartography in green), and the peacock marbling is for anthologies (RCAU in pink, Open Skies in blue). The other marbled fabric is a surprise, and the muted, faceted-looking fabric is for Fading Light and Cooling Space, since that wrapped up just as I was formatting these other books. I’ve still got a lot of posts to catch up on, but this was a set that I had been planning on as a project for the month, and it was SO delightful to see that vision realized :D
Did I share this…? I’m so behind with putting on stuff here idek. Anyway, the full, spicy image is on AO3. I don’t interact on Tumblr, so if you want me to see anything, please comment there.
I figured I’d share these here, plus a link to AO3, where I have a bunch of process shots, brief descriptions, and more photos of the finished products.

Summary: Dimly, Waxer feels heat all along his back, pressed close. When he inhales through his nose, slow and deep, he becomes aware of a hand on his chest, fingers splayed under his loose shirt. Humming faintly, he rubs his right cheek against Boil’s upper arm, upon which his head is pillowed, as soft breaths caress the nape of his neck.
“Time ’s it?” he mumbles, luxuriating in a warm haze.
“Dunno, lights ‘r still off,” Boil whispers, trailing his lips over the bumps of Waxer’s vertebrae. His mustache prickles faintly, comforting and familiar. “Jus’ woke up.”
“Mmm…” Waxer starts to drift off again when Boil shifts behind him, the hard line of his cock against Waxer’s tailbone. “’S 'at why you woke up?” he asks, pushing back just enough to make it clear what he’s referring to.
Boil hums, stroking his thumb over Waxer’s chest. “Prob'ly.”
Lifting his left arm, Waxer lays it over Boil’s hand on his chest. “Gonna do anything about it?”

EDIT 2022/05/07: Okay so I absolutely cringe every time I see the old version of this image (which I replaced with the updated one above). I was still playing around with TCW’s geometric style when I painted it, but the way I picture the characters in my head has changed a lot since then. Every time I see the CG models or my art based on them I’m like, “Gah, who are they?? D:” Sooooo I’ve spent many frustrating hours recently fixing some of this. I redid the faces entirely, made Boil’s legs shorter and his torso longer (he’s slouching but like, not that much), and got rid of the can-cell because there were just too many pets, haha. I still don’t like the stiff plastic mannequin feel of it all, but it’s better than it was, anyway.

This goes along with the last TCW image I finished because it’s in the same “everyone lives/nobody dies (Except Palps and Krell)” canon-divergent AU, which I’m just calling the Reconstruction Corps AU. The text accompanying that image explain the basic idea for the AU.
After the war ends and the clones attain citizenship, Waxer and Boil leave the now-voluntary GAR and travel to Ryloth to find Numa. She’s been living with her uncle, so Waxer and Boil settle down in a house on the outskirts of Nabat and eventually integrate themselves into the community, which proves beneficial for everyone. Long story short, Numa eventually comes to live with them and their growing menagerie of strays. And they live happily ever after. *glaring at Dave Filoni*
@cacodaemonia has me by the throat with their Reconstruction Corps AU: Open Skies, focusing on Boil, Waxer, and Numa, and their life on Ryloth. It is a touching, sincere, love letter to clones, and I cannot reccomend it enough.
So I made their house in the Sims 4 in a gesture of affection

Just layouts/floor plans I made for my own reference. If anyone is like me and enjoys being able to visualize spaces in writing, here are Waxer and Boil’s house, and their ship. Images through the AO3 link and under the cut.

A silly little thing I messed with on floorplanner.com to make a 3D version of their house. Obviously the furniture and stuff are just rough approximations, haha.
And the Happabore! I used this model by Shiwei Ren to make the outlines. When I actually put the ship on a grid, where each square was 1x1 meter, to get a better sense of the scale, it turned out to be a lot larger than I initially imagined, so the babes get a bit more room. :D There are some official images of the Twilight that show some cut-away views, but they’re mostly concerned with weapons and not where people actually, you know, live and sleep. XD Since this ship is modified from a standard G9 Rigger Freighter, anyway, I basically made up everything except for the cockpit, medbay, and where the ramps are.
Instead of massacring the Jedi and clones at the Temple of Eedit on Devaron, Savage Opress is captured, frozen in carbonite, and brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. But what can the Jedi do to counteract the Nightsisters’ magical hold on him?
