  4. Summary

    Happy Fictober!! I'm following the Tumblr prompt list (most likely in order). I will not be doing Fictober for only one fandom, so expect to see X-Files, Stardew, Outer Worlds, Starfield, and Zelda fics. Enjoy!

    Summary

    Commander Kharakhov is quite unlike anyone Tristan has ever met.

    or,

    Arbiter Rao sets out to solve a murder and ends up living out the kind of periodicals he certainly does not read (and saving the system)

    Summary

    "Ten years in a cryo-pod, and she fell in love with the most unsuitable man in the galaxy. Who didn't even notice her as a woman."

    Arbiter Tristan Rao is order, law, and judgment incarnate. The Commander is chaos, pragmatism, and survival. He is her tank, her critic, and the source of a furious, secret yearning that she buries deep. He is also, completely and utterly oblivious to the torturous effect he has on her.

    Summary

    “What level of attire do you expect from your superior officers?” Rao asked Niles, standing in front of him in the main room of the ship. He was in full Protectorate down-time regalia, clutching a datapad like it held the kind of secrets that could bring down the entire corrupt organization.

    Commander Bri Shepherd keeps things rather unprofessional around the ship, something her emotional support arbiter takes extreme umbrage with. Confronting him about it goes exactly as you would hope.

    Summary

    Luck and likeability are both valuable traits in a superior officer. A likeable superior is easy to follow; a lucky one won’t get you killed.

    “And, uh... Tristan, if you want to... ‘visit a friend’ too, that’s fine? I’m not your boss.”

    More important, however, is the ability to take charge and make hard decisions.

    “I wouldn’t be so quick to denounce your authority, Commander. If you do, Arbiter Rao may feel he has a responsibility to no longer tolerate the continued presence of traitors and malefactors on this vessel- and I would prefer to avoid removing a familiar variable from the Equation unless absolutely necessary.”

    Unfortunately for Commander Lane Perry, a surplus of the former is not an adequate substitute for an absence of the latter.

    Summary

    The ‘Red Spores’, as they called them- typical Auntie’s Choice behaviour, not even assigning the void damned things a proper taxonomic designation- were a scientific curiosity.
