if you bully people on anon, your blorbo hates you. they told me themselves. ❤️
The series would run tandem with tcw
Seeing the way the senators and civilians treat the clones (aka padme and bail are the only good senators)(aka why do the Coruscant Guard troopers flinch all the time)
Getting to see what was ACTUALLY happening with commander Fox (we know palpatine is involved)
Commander Thorn
Commander Thorn annoying fox with every ounce of energy he has
Commander Thire being soft
Commander Stone consistently having to deal with Jar Jar
Commander Stone is done
We know the Coruscant Guard has riot troopers, what about riots. Do they get violent or out of hand? Are they about the clones? How do the troopers react afterwards?
Did I mention commander Thorn?
Fox getting thrown out windows on a regular
Commander Fox chase scene
Getting to see a different perspective on what is happening through tcw series (fallout from umbara? Rako Hardeen?)
79s
The 501st and 212th causing trouble on leave
The 501st and 212th getting arrested by very amused CG troopers
The 501st and 212th in Fox’s drunk tank
Fox chewing out the 501st and 212th
Fox, Rex, Cody, Wolffe, etc bro moments
The command batch worrying for Fox
The command batch nicknames (we know they exist, David filoni)
Palpatine giving off creeper vibes that set the CG commanders on edge
The CG commanders not letting shinies go near palpatine alone
Closure on what really was going on with fox during and after Fives (*glares at palpatine*)
Seeing the Guard have to deal with the Jedi on Coruscant
Seeing the guard have to deal with Quinlan Vos
Good brother dynamics in a not good situation
Fox not having slept since the war started
Fox surviving solely through caf
Fox is very tired thank you very much
Can’t forget commander Thorn, who has definitely heavily salted Fox’s caf once only to be horrified as Fox gulps it down without so much as a grimace
There also must be certain regulations for members of the Guard (armor paint? Not removing helmets while on duty or in the senate building?)
Fox only taking off his helmet for Thorn because he feels safer that way, or maybe to hide a mutation (maybe Thire takes it off for him after Thorn’s death, because Thorn isn’t around to check on Fox anymore; we all know his death wouldn’t have sat with fox well)
Or even worse, what if it’s palpatine that makes him keep his helmet on? That way his brothers wouldn’t see the change in Fox’s eyes whenever palpatine takes control?
qUiNlAn VoS
Seeing the red hair we know Fox has
The Coruscant Guard commanders being good brothers to each other and their shinies
Too busy to actually write to have a plot instead:
Cody, Wolffe, Ponds, Bly and Rex go to a creepy castle as part of a mission, the data is vague and the source anonymous but their generals agreed to spare them for it and so they went.
Yellow eyes watch from the parapets and a fanged smile forms. It reaches into the Force and leans. The smile widens.
At first they think it’s a waste of time, until the first scream echos down the halls. They can’t determine where it’s from. But they know who it is.
Fox.
They split into smaller groups to search and find Fox first on the security cameras, emaciated and scarred being dragged by a cloaked figure across the uneven stone floor.
They rush to that corridor. He’s not there.
The first time they see him in person he’s across a gap to wide to cross, there’s no direct path. Again, he’s gone when they get there.
This thing is playing with them. It has their brother. And they can hear it talking, along with Fox’s screams they hear it. A voice they can’t pin telling Fox he’s alone, unloved, good for nothing but to serve as a battery and a pet, that nobody’s coming for him if they were they’d have come by now. Nobody cares he’s gone, he might as well give up.
How long has he been here…?
Coruscant has been comm silent for so long.
The first time they see him in person (through a window)and on camera they have to acknowledge the possibility that whatever thing is here, its messing with them. Taking their deepest fears and playing with them while Fox isn’t here at all. But what if he is? They can’t leave him here.
The screams sound so agonised, so real.
They keep searching.
Wolffe alone finds Fox first. Cradles him close as he tries to remove the metal shackles. Fox is barely conscious, barely with it, too thin and too scarred in his arms and the scars are deep, some look like they should have been fatal. Wolffe promises he loves his brother. Wolffe promises he’ll get him away from the Sith, get him somewhere safe.
Fox laughs, “you’ve already failed, I’m not the Sith who has your brother, I’m not the one who made these scars and screams” and Wolffe sees yellow eyes and fangs and darkness rushes in.
Cody, Rex, Ponds and Bly can’t find Wolffe or Fox…
It picks them off, one by one.
In a dungeon below the castle in a cell together they wake, and Fox walks towards them. But not Fox, because it has fangs and leathery wings and yellow eyes.
It taunts them. Fox is in the hands of a real Sith and that knowledge will die here with them.
They disagree.
———
:-D
(In summary: a dark sithly creature lures them in using the real visage of how fox looks under Palpatines ‘care’ and uses his real screams to mess with them. It enjoys suffering and like all Sith feeds off of it and that their fears are reality is even more fun and filling. It plays with them then picks them off while revealing the truth knowing they’ll die knowing they can’t do anything to save Fox.)
Enjoy.
Honestly one of my fave fic things atm is when Fox is with his batch and casually mentions something horrific that the Guard thinks is normal and his batch just blue screen because Fox WTF that’s not normal or right but Fox had assumed they all went though the same thing and hadn’t know the rest of the GAR weren’t being treated the way the Corries were.
I’m very curious as to what this means for my life lol Like… do I need to reevaluate a few decisions??? Eh that’s for future me to worry about.

1. FIRST, create a picrew using this maker, and then 2. SECOND take this quiz on how fandom would see you if you were a fictional character. 3 (THIRD) POST YOUR PIC AND YOUR DESCRIPTION IN THE REBLOG!
You’re a bastard. A wet cat, if you will. And we love you for it. You’re a little shit, but in the good way. You are the baddest babygirl. You killed a man, but you looked good doing it. You flirted with the hero and the enemy. All of Tumblr is madly in love with you. Congrats, I guess?
Tagging EVERYONE but especially @magicaltear, @the-beeses-kneeses, @wafflesrisa, @mykingdomforapen, @marbat, @scientistsinistral, @halberdierminister!
I like to imagine that in any atla modern au, aang still, for some reason, finds a reason to beat ozai’s ass
I had to do Anakin on Mustafar for the palette Volcano. It just had to be done.
Listen I love stoic Fox but imagine Fox, under the safety of his helmet, making Kermit faces when a senator says something stupid. He can control his expressions obviously, but when he’s wearing his helmet, he has the freedom to make those faces
