    Summary

    "I know you know how it feels. There is a way you must act, and your identity forms alongside it.” Ashur sighs. “I grew up to be a leader. No one taught me how to stop being one when I took a lover to bed. Even if these lovers were all men, it was as if there was only one way I knew to be a man with them.”

    Or: A lazy night, a silly idea, and coping with what gender can mean when you're raised to be Divine.

    Summary

    (ecdysis, n: the act of shedding or moulting an outer cuticle layer.)

     

    Soporati had to take what they could get.

    It was a privilege, they were told, to have what they had– a mostly-warm bed, a washroom shared with relative strangers, the skin of their backs unflayed. The latter was a precious thing, valuable, even as it was marked by age and harsh Tevinter sun. It was a privilege not awarded to those one mere rank below, and they were made to remember it– by laetans and alti alike.

    Tarquin wanted to shed his skin. Tarquin knew the others would not take it well.

    Summary

    “How did you know?”

    “Hm?” Tarquin twisted, craning his neck back to see Ashur, the mage’s face wrenched in solemn contemplation.

    “That you were… are a man,” he clarified, a slight tremble to his words. Like they didn’t fit in his mouth, too big. Too vulnerable, but for himself and not Tarquin.

    Summary

    Of course, Ren thinks as he stares down the hand delivering this slaughter, of course. Who would get so close, who else would know all the entrances and all the halls, who else would a jedi hesitate for despite the warnings of the Force, if not ones that call brothers?

    The yellow glow of the saber pike brings sunlight to the night-darkened halls, reflecting off polished ancient stone and new plastoid.

    ******

    A temple guard and some children find themselves in just the right place at the worst time.
