How much do I adore this aesthetic @regionalpancake made for my Rios/Jurati ficlet? So, so much! The blues and greys, the smoky air, the perfect representation of story elements — I love it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you @regionalpancake. I am humbled and honored by your talent.
Double ask! Thanks @curator-on-ao3& @jazzfic:) The Rios Manoeuvre is (very probably a mistake) a very silly series of unfortunate events stemming from Rios’ terrible parking skills. So far it includes:
Bad parking
Quark
A ball-gag
Snippet!
It was hot, too hot. Raffi squinted at the terraforming pylons as they shimmered in the distance. She wondered just how hot it would get on this planet without them. A bead of sweat dripped from her chin and hit the baked leather of her boot. It sizzled.
Cris was taking too long.
The brittle grass outside the mining settlement crunched under Raffi’s boots as she walked around the Terrelian transport ship. It wasn’t exactly an elegant design, but it had probably looked a lot better before the La Sirena shaped dent in the aft hull plating. She watched Cris squat down to inspect the damage.
“I think you might actually be getting worse at this, babe.”
“Piss off.”
“All this space,” Raffi gestured at the scrubland surrounding them, “and you still hit it. It’s impressive really.”
Omg! How creative and wonderful and all the thingsis@regionalpancake for bringing this lovely collection into the world?! Thank you so, so much, @regionalpancake.

If you’re interested, I hope you enjoy the issue. ❄️✨
I have to admit, one of my favorite things about Commodore Oh is that she deepens use of the Murder, She Wrote holodeck program to at least one adventure with either Tom Paris or Nick Locarno.
he’s a Maquis, she’s Tal Shair, can I make it any more obvious?
