Halfling

by orphan_account

Halfling is a highly offensive term in Hobbit culture. This meant the dwarves were being obscenely rude by constantly referring to him as one.The nerve. Bilbo Baggins was no halfling, and he would ensure they knew it.

A Decent Proposal

by Name1

"Never tell him I said this, but Greef's right for once. We are like an old married couple."He's staring at her like she grew another head, though thankfully the visor didn't give anything away. He couldn't believe what she had just said. Even though he knew she didn't mean it or even know what she was implying, it made his heart rate speed up nonetheless. He never thought in a million years he'd ever consider marriage or being a position where it was a possibility, but with Cara he would consider it—he had considered it at night when she slept beside him. She was right; they had all the trappings anyway. They had been spouses in every way that mattered for the better part of a year. And what she had just said.... he could never unhear that.-Or-Cara accidentally proposes and Din’s brain can’t compute.

When the Full Moon Rises

by WhisperingOrchard

"Your name is Dirk, and you are on a mission. Licking your lips, you lift your weapon and place the sharp tip to his Adam’s apple, which is presently bobbing up and down in a gulping apprehension. Your eyes glance dismally down at him, darting along his body one last time. His bare chest, strangely, does not heave any longer, nor does it pant; he’s started holding his breath. His fingers squirm and writhe beneath your foot, desperate to pull the trigger of the gun in his hand. Your eyes catch his own as he stares up at you, eyes wide and frantic and frightened. He knows perfectly well that his life will probably end here. Gods, you have never seen such beauty."

Zootopia (2016)

Seasonally Jealous

by Artan

Customs are a funny thing. The smallest gestures in one may be the greatest of insults in another. Unintended consequences can lead to hurt feelings. While the modern mammal may not have all of the raging instincts of the past, the effects still linger.

Welcome to my Disaster

by sharkcar

The sad, funny war memoir of Wolffe, clone commander for Jedi General Plo Koon. The story tracks the life of a clone soldier from extraction to self-awareness to adulthood as a lethal fighting force. Wolffe recounts in hilarious deep detail his observations and experiences among the different beings of the Clone War Era, from the battlefield, to time aboard ship, and what people get up to on their own time. He has heard more stories than even your most jaded cantina owner. His early days were filled with hope, as the Jedi impress him with their compassion for his kind. Eventually, he sees the toll the war is taking on him and his brothers and wonders what is the point of it all. He tracks his descent into addictions as he gives in to despair, without losing his dark sense of humor. An attempt to give Wolffe some more complexity. After this, he took on a bit of a life of his own.
