    Interconnected fics in which I have people overhear conversations and witness shit not exactly meant for their ears because apparently I love this plot device?

    Summary

    Written simply because after 2x9 I needed to fix what happened to Dedra and Syril. We go all the way back to the beginning of Season 2 to see where it all could have been different: one crucial change alters everything. AU from S2 and onwards. Updates daily / every two to three days.

    Summary

    Determined to secure an ally in her fight against Axis whose loyalty transcends ambition, Dedra Meero takes the unorthodox step of marrying Syril Karn. Wed to him secretly and under false pretenses, Dedra decides to wield love as a blunt instrument—and to employ affection as nothing more than a manipulative tactic.

    Unfortunately for her, Syril doesn't view their union so dispassionately.

    Summary

    Syril gazes at her expectantly, curly-haired, and pajama-clad, and no doubt perplexed as to why she won’t permit him to make tea. Unwilling to dance around the matter any longer, Dedra gives a huff, straightens as much as her brittle spine will allow, and gets on with it.

    “The condition Gorst diagnosed me with is remedied by... physical contact. Apparently, it’s the only thing that eases the symptoms.”

    A crease forms between Syril’s brows. Dedra can practically see the gears of his mind whirring until they smoke. A blush creeps across his pale cheeks, and she envies the warmth he must feel. “Physical contact,” he echoes.

    ***

    When Dedra contracts a rare illness after a trip to the Outer Rim, Gorst recommends a remedy that leaves her chilled to the bone... a remedy only Syril Karn can provide.

    Summary

    There’s nothing in her stomach to come up when she retches. Her body heaves for the sake of heaving. It all seems wrong. If she opens the door, she should see him standing proudly in his brown coat and his beret, with a scarf wrapped around his neck. She should be able to look into his eyes, smile, and tell him they’ve won. That they’re the Imperial heroes they’ve always dreamt of being, and now, having claimed victory, they can go home and be together for the rest of their lives. They can put this Ghorman mess — and all the smaller messes it encompassed — behind them.

    I didn’t want this.

    ***

    Syril dies. Dedra mourns.

    Summary

    Perhaps it would be better that way, she muses as she catches her breath in the foggy, unreadable darkness. Better for both of them. These sorts of attachments rarely work long-term, and there’s no point to letting Syril tiptoe his way into her life when she’ll have to slam the door on him in the future. The trouble with that well-reasoned realism is that, as she’d found both before and after Ferrix, Syril has a way of showing up again. He’ll pick the locks. He'll find his way back to her, no matter how hard she slams the door.

    Dedra wakes up screaming. To her surprise, this doesn't frighten Syril away.
