Note: This was not a quote prompt, but rather a request for a Star Wars-TLC Crossover. This in no way is my best work, but it slightly amused me, so I thought I'd stick the version I posted on tumblr in this collection since it's not worth it's own fic.


May the Glamour be With You
Star Wars-TLC Crossover

"Master Erland, I don't want to be the Lunar Queen," Cinder whined, her body tired and her spine aching from too much exertion.

"Learn you must," said Master Erland. He was irritated at her lack of discipline, though, and it showed. "Use your inner glamour you will."

Cinder raked her eyes over the little man, finding it hard to believe that he had once been the stuff legends were made of. "I loathe glamour! I just want to be normal. Why can't someone else defeat Darth Blackburn?"

She shut her eyes in concentration though, before Master Erland could give her another lecture. Her brain was going haywire, her spine burned, and that familiar feeling of fire tried to erupt from her.

It didn't.

The smack of a cane against her back sent her flying into the mud of this desolate planet.

"Quit messing around, Cinder!" said Thorne. "Some of us are sick of being blind and, in case you forgot, your glamour buddy over here won't heal me until we're back on the Rampion."

Cinder, face and arms dripping with mud, glared up at him from the ground. He couldn't see her, of course, but she shot daggers at him with her synthetic eyes anyway.

"Maybe I should practice on you, Thorne," she said sweetly.

Thorne's smirk slightly wavered, but then he waved a hand in the air dismissively. "Been through worse. So long as it gets me back to the Rampion as soon as possible, I say go for it. Just don't mess up my hair."

"Back to the Rampion or back to your precious Princess Cress?" said Cinder.

Master Erland cut in before Thorne could respond, though Cinder had seen a flicker of something in his expression to know she'd hit the right spot in his defenses. Captain Hans Thorne, in love? Who would have ever thought it possible?

"Bicker do not," said Master Erland. "Wasting my time you are."

But Cinder wasn't paying attention to him. She was already thinking of ways to mess with Thorne.

Oh yes, the glamour would be with her for this task indeed.

Bonus:

Iko-3PO watched Thorne, Cinder, and Master Erland interact from a distance. Nainsi-D2's fan whirred, interrupting her thoughts.

"Nainsi-D2! Stop making noise. I'm trying to concentrate."

Nainsi-D2 beeped several times, and she moved forward on her treads to bump into Iko-3PO, wanting attention.

Iko-3PO put her hands on her hips. "Nainsi-D2, stop being a whiny droid. Nothing is more important than observing human relations. Besides, I've just learned that Captain Thorne is in love." She sighed, already giddy at the thought.

A whoosh from Nainsi-D2.

"Nevermind," said Iko-3PO, "you wouldn't understand."
