Hunter's Moon š
Fanart for Hunter's Moon, written by the lovely @lavenderstaars
I implore you guys, please please read this masterpiece. I have no words that will ever encompass how deeply I feel for this fic. It is truly, soul crushingly, heart rendingly, breathtakingly beautiful.
LOVE this and these two!!! Best duo
āLike uncle, like nieceā
Omega wanted to learn to shoot like uncle Crosshair, so he taught her how to shoot in pool
*series of The Bad Batch modern au*
Gah they are my favorite characters and tbb duoās!!!! NEED MORE OF THEM AND MORE FANFICTIONS THAT ARENāT BEING MADE MUCH UNFORTUNATELY MUCH TO MY DEVASTATION šæšŖš¤Æš¤¬š„ŗš¤š©ššš»š¤š»šš§”šššš¼āāļø
Crosshair & Omega in somewhere like S4...
ANYTHING CROSSHAIR AND OMEGA!!!! Have a obsession with these two especially together and I am so heartbroken that Crosshair choice to NOT go with the batch even though Omega really loves and needs him!!! WISH PEOPLE DREW PICS OR WRITE FANFICTION FOR THESE TWO!!! Canāt find many unfortunately so I may be some of the few in love with these two.
Finally found a Fanfiction for Crosshair and Omega who are my favorite characters and duoās!!! Need more of them plus anyone make Fanfictions for them!!! Together too :).
I love him so very very much!!!
floppy ears
Could not NOT share this as I love both these and I do the Stitch voice for others lol. Plus, Crosshair and Omega are my favorite characters in tbb
*The Bad Batch watching Lilo and Stitch*
"Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind... or forgotten."
Crosshair: *glares at Hunter*
Hunter: It happened one time-
Crosshair: Three kriffing times.
Hunter: Well, you're here now, aren't you?
Crosshair:
Crosshair: Stitch would be fucking disappointed in you.
Hunter: Stop swearing in front of Omega.
I absolutely love this and wish I could find more with Crosshair and Omega anything (especially Fanfictions). But alas it seems to be incredibly difficult. I especially wish I could draw...have the perfect, for me anyway, drawing I would love to do of them.
I wonder if it wouldnāt be too much to ask anyone would it? I really really donāt want to be a burden or needy.
Happy Bad Batch season finale eve!! Here's some of the sketches of this rowdy group I've done in my sketchbooks since getting into it (Sorry no Echo, I still love him tho š). These are sorta in reverse order, so the Crosshair and Omega at the top is something I just finished this week with hopes for bonding between them next season.
The Tech and Omega drawing is based off of @lavenderstaars fanfiction, "Fall Back Into Place." It's sooo soft and heartbreaking, but I especially loved the chapter in question here :)
The last image is actually the first time I've drawn most of the gang, heavily referencing photos for poses haha! I had been intending to paint out the two portraits all the way, but my sketchbook couldn't handle the paint so they're permanently unfinished lol. I have more sketches and doodles but those get heavy into speculation (aka my fanfiction of how it's gonna go LOL) so they'll be a separate post :)
Here's hoping nobody dies tomorrow haha!!
LOVE these two!
āI'll see you again. I promise.ā
had to redraw the scene that made me cry the most! program: procreate
Could anyone help me? Iām new here and I donāt know how to respond to people specifically or how to tag them. How do I find peopleās Fanfictions and drawings? Specifically for Crosshair and Omega anything!!!
Sorry unfortunately, Iām still pretty new to Tumblr and I need more of this duo so badly. We didnāt get much of them and wonāt for quite awhile. Hopefully Iām not alone loving this pair lol.
Iāve read this one multiple times already! ESPECIALLY since there is a couple Crosshair and Omega moments (and not just barely there moment or whatever...people do NOT write much with these two...find more smut ones with OC than I do with anything involving these two at all) which made me SO karking happy š!!!
I can only find this chapter and not the rest to reread another time lol!!!! Thank you so much for these precious moments AND for Omega being FORCE SENSITIVE (want both SO KARKING badly lol). Loved how happy and proud Crosshair was of Omega and her love of weapons (she gets it from him obviously hehe).
The Bad Batch: Soft Universe
Chapter 6 - Medic.Ā
A large amount of time and rest had passed throughout the ship along with a large conversation that was hosted by the brothers about Omega's apparent force abilities. They had all simultaneously agreed to try and test this out whilst Tech tinkered with AZI in the back during the early hours of the morning.Ā
"Any luck?" Crosshair spoke, staring at Tech who had laid himself against the floor who was currently fiddling with several wires that fell from the droid Omega adored so much.Ā
"Some." He mumbled in response, "I'll be able to access hidden records with a little more time but to fully awaken him I'm going to need weeks." Wrecker soon turned toward the conversation, a little worried about what theyĀ may find in her hidden records. He knew they had no choice and Omega was fine with it but still - he wasn't looking forward to finding out how they experimented on her.
"Will you be getting that info today?" He asked, Crosshair turning to him with a sigh. Truth be told, they were all worried. Tech grinned as an excited 'aha!' left his lips, standing in the process.Ā
"Yes." He confirmed as a blue hologram filled with various loads of writing and numbers appeared before them. "Hunter, Echo - You're going to want to see this." The other two brothers approached, all simultaneously crowding over the droid. Tech browsed through muttering the words under his breath.
"What's it talking about?" Wrecker exclaimed, a little Impatient but almost too afraid to ask. Tech typed a little something before turning to face his brothers.
"She is force - sensitive and they know it worked." Tech took a breath in, "They lied to her and said it didn't work because the force became too powerful with her - they were afraid and kept testing on her. The misery she kept going through kept her from connecting with the force as she had to have a relaxed state of mind and they never allowed that to happen. However, now she's with us the force has finally been re-connecting with her and what happened yesterday was it finally making itself known to her." His rant finally ended as her brothers shared various shocked and even confused ones.
"She's a jedi?" Echo questioned, rubbing his head. Nothing was ever Simple for this small family but they wouldn't have it any other way.
"No." Tech scrolled through the text a little more, "The force didn't come to her naturally, she brought it to herself - well Kamino did. This results in her just being a force user, not a jedi." They all just remained in Silence whilst Echo re-lived all of the moments he spent along jedi.Ā
"Won't she need appropriate training?" His question made Hunter sigh a little.
"None of us are exactly qualified to train her with the force."Ā He drew a sharp breath inward as he ran his finger tips through his strands of longer hair. "Blasters are no Problem, but the force?" He just shook his head as Wrecker piped up.
"Does she even need training?" Tech growled in anger as the screen ALI was displaying suddenly sparked and cut out rather drastically, flinching a little at the light.Ā
"Damn droids." Grabbing his data pad he hummed as he typed a little more, rapidly tapping at the screen with a sigh, grateful that he backed up the medical records onto his datapad prior to it working. "Omega will need to be provided with some sort of training to control it, otherwise she may fall toward what they refer to as the 'dark side of the force.' This means she may end up with the Empire if fuelled by anger."
"The Empire?" Hunter snarled at Tech, "How could you even suggest that she would betray us like that?"
"You thought I did." Crosshair interjected with a glare, his arms crossed whilst chewing against his toothpick.Ā
"That's because you did." Hunter Snapped back, pushing against his chest. Echo soon pulled Hunter away from him, Signalling for Wrecker to Stand between them.
"There currently Isn't anything to worry about, from my research she's very clearly Strong with the light side of the 'Force', which is our side." Echo noticed the sigh of relief with a mumbled apology for Crosshair who just nodded in response.
"Hunter?" Omega's voice appeared behind them which featured a light gown. "Is everything okay?" The constant hum of the Havoc Marauder could be heard as the hushed shouts and bundles of Spoken Information had been hushed. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah kid!" He smiled toward her, "We're just talking about your enhanced skill."
"You are?" All of that Sleepiness left her voice as she rushed over to her brothers who couldn't help but Smile at their little force wielder. "What about it?"
"We're beginning to discuss your training regiment." Tech Spoke, adjusting his goggles a little. "Your new abilities need to continue to be Controlled as you're their wielder." She stood in thought for a moment before gazing back up toward him.
"Who's gonna train me?" The members of the batch exchanged Various gazes toward one another, unsure who it would be.Ā "And how am I supposed to train? A blaster wouldn't work would it?" Crosshair just smirked at her enthusiasm for weapons, she definitely got that from him.
"Echo would train you as he's been with more force-sensitive People then we have and you'd train with your mind, not just your blaster." She pouted a little before Crosshair rolled his eyes, blasters would always be better to him.
"With my mind?" She was confused but very optimistic regardless. All of this felt new to her as any previous training within Nala Se's lab remained repressed in her mind, locked away and definitely not being released any time soon. " How am I supposed to do that?" Echo just chuckled at her, ruffling her hair through her moment of confusion and wonder.
"Don't worry, kid." Echo remembered what the basics were through overhearing and learning about their abilities from others. He knew that She'd be able to expand her skillset alone without any further training after he helped her nail the basics. "You'll do great and I'll teach you as much as I can alright?" Echo's words alone brought a smile to her face before the ship's control panel began to beep, Tech rushing over to approve the signal with Cid shortly appearing on a hologram.
"Cid?" Wrecker asked as they all made their way around the message. "Fancy meeting you here!" Everybody heard her sigh before seriousness coated her voice.
"Listen up, I know you can't come back to Ord Mantell for a while because of the kid and that's alright- but I have a mission for you all if you're willing to accept." Everybody's eyes soon turned toward Hunter, they knew he was the one who picked if we were to accept a mission or not.
"What've you got?" He replied curiosity leaking out of his voice, moving closer toward the hologram with his arms still folded against him.
"I need you guys to go to Geonosis to grab a droid and take it into your care for a while until you can return it to me at Ord Mantell." Ci'd smiled before waving a box of credits toward them all. "And this will all be yours - don't worry I'll keep it Safe."
"A droid?" Tech hummed, "What's it doing at Geonosis?" she sighed, snarling her voice a little, shaking her head.Ā
"Shut your mouth goggles, I thought I told you not to ask any questions? Just go and get the droid and then you'll get your credits. I'll send you all the information." With that, the hologram disappeared and they were left in rather confused silence.Ā
"Why did she send us on a mission to just collect a droid?" Echo asked, pretty annoyed.Ā
"I'm not sure, but it seemed worth the credits offered." Hunter replied, running his fingers through his hair. "We're desperate so at least it's simple enough." A beep echoed throughout the attack shuttle, Techs datapad lit up at the information received.Ā
"Okay I have the coordinates, shall we get this over with?" He mumbled, tapping away and examining the map. "This will truly be thrilling." His voice dripped with sarcasm as he requested everybody to take their assigned seats with Hunter next to him.Ā
"Alright, let's go then." He hummed, rapidly typing in the hyperspace coordinates before the stars became blurred - one of Omega's favourite things to see. The universe was fascinating to her and it always would be. Being trapped on Kamino in a small lab, she never had the luxury of exploring the universe around her until now with her brothers - any mission to her was a welcome one.Ā
"So what's the plan?" Omega asked, gazing toward Hunter who always controlled that aspect.Ā
"We're going to go into the cave system quickly and quietly. Tech I want you to focus on the map and keep us guided. Wrecker, you need to keep our path clear. Echo and Crosshair I want you to stick with me in case we get any unwelcome visitors." His plan was light and cleared the simple mission they were believed to be going on, knowingly arriving soon.Ā
"But what's my job?" She asked, worried she'd have to stay back on the ship again.Ā
"You?" Hunter smiled, "You're our Medic."

First off, this is great and hilarious and filled my heart with happiness because you ADDED Crosshair in it and a quick interaction with him and Omega (they are my favorite characters and pairing for the brothers and sister).
Hi, I just wanted to say I posed my first Bad Batch fanfiction. Itās a one shot that is Tech centric. Itās posted on ao3 so Iāll drop the link to it if anybody would like to read it :)
Please feel free to leave a comment, Iād appreciate it.
Wow this gave me chills! I absolutely LOVE Crosshair and Omega, both characters especially as a pairing are my favorite SW characters besides Grogu and Ahsoka Tano! The person who did this is AMAZING and hope they have one for each of the bad batchers (including Omega of course)!!! Not sure how to look lol.
"The Bad Batch | Crosshair"
Probably one of the best edits I've seen.
Isnāt Omega so intuitive and I feel like her enhancement (or enhancements since there is something incredibly important and special about her) has something to do with it. I also hope she is a force enhanced clone! Just me though lol š.

They where the ones the Grand Army of the Republic would send for to do the impossible. His squad won every battle, survived every suicide mission theyāve been sent on. Itās in his blood.
So how was a kid, whoās never even seen dirt until a few weeks ago, was genuinely beating him in Dejarik???
Hopefully it is okay to reblog this againā¦just hoping that maybe someone new will see this and share any content with these two especially Fanfiction!
Someone please please please help me!!!! I cannot find barely anywhere (especially any that arenāt just a one shot) Fanfictions for Crosshair AND Omega. Iām looking for mainly ones that have just the characters from SW/TBB, not ones where the reader can insert themselves/make up the character(s) for themselves. If that makes sense at all (have TBI, traumatic brain injury and my sentences and words donāt always come out right/make the best sense).
Iāve read most on both Archive Of Our Own and FanFiction.Net is there anywhere else to find any? Or anyone that is currently working on any and/or finished work, etc :).
Apparently, I must be in a category mainly on my own with NEEDING these two and not getting enough of them. Iām SOOOO heartbroken over the finale! I donāt know why Iām so in love with these two characters and especially their dynamic together!!!!
Thank you so very very much in advance and if you are a big SW fan I would love to follow you! Always looking for pictures, Fanfictions, etc on this fandom especially for The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch!!! ššš§”ššš¬š„ŗšš»
OMG I LOVE THIS POST!!!!!!! My ultimate favorite doesnāt seem like most peopleās from what Iāve seen is Omega. I donāt know why but I have a HUGE obsession with Crosshair and Omega together as a pairing. I wish I could find more content with the two of them in it! ESPECIALLY centering around Crosshair and Omega but it is SO HARD to find unfortunately. If possible please tag me in anything relating to these two, Iāve been looking up their thread together but not much with those two :(.
Reblog and put in the tags your favorite Bad Batch member!
Two of some of my favorite SW characters of all time! Ahsoka and Omega....just need to add for sure Grogu as heās so beloved heās like my child lol (I have about 3-5 absolute favorites but I think these three are my favorites).
The Song of Twin Suns Chapter Eight
Ahsoka and Omega find themselves in the middle of the Second Sisterās attack once again.
Determined to protect Vah'nya, Quinlan Vos pulls her from the scene to safety, but concerns about Sacherās status are taking a turn towards darkness.

Shared this already (not sure if it was from the same poster) I believe but I needed to do it again. I absolutely LOVE these two characters so much especially together (not sure why but they make me happy especially together). I believe that she makes Crosshair think in a positive/different way (she is the kindest and is one of the most compassionate people in all of the Star Wars universe. Also, she loves him even after he specifically told his men to shoot her or anything else that he did against her. I think/believe that Crosshairs chip is still in but just malfunctioning and not working like it used to. So I think he still loyal to the empire in most ways (saw that he canāt still be COMPLETELY loyal as he still killed his men whether to get them to join the empire. That is something against what āgood soldiersā do in my opinion) but at the same time Omega makes Crosshair have more of a conscience if that makes sense any sense. If you make or find any Fanfictions or anything else with Crosshair AND Omega especially interactions with them...please somehow share them with me if possible. Thank you so much, Iām so obsessed with finding everything with these two in them! Sorry for the long explanation and request...hopefully it doesnāt bother anyone. May The Force Be With You!
Speaking of content I desperately crave. Bring back toasty toothpick man. I will not rest till the Bad batch is a whole family again.
I absolutely LOVE this so very much!!! I love Crosshair and Omega Fanfictions because thereās something about these two beloved characters to me! I love their dynamic and how much Omega loves him without caring about herself.
Sheās so selfless and Crosshair needs her and that kind of undying love and kindness towards him especially from his little loving sister!
Crosshair's Back! (And you can't stop me)
A/N: Okay, so this is an exert from my CrosshairxOC fanfiction I'm working on. The story itself is set after the events of the season finale, so I make happen whatever I want to happen. So here: I give you part of this chapter. Quick background: Crosshair was taken back by the Empire, but they found no use for him and were going to end him. The Batch turned around and came back for him, rescuing him from the Empire and ACTUALLY removing the chip. That's where this chapter picks up. I went for a dramatic feel. Hope I accomplished that. ^^'
Also, if you want to be tagged whenever I post the rest of the story, just let me know!

Warnings: None; lotta pain and regret, but a happy ending, I promise.

It hurt.
Everything hurt.
His head was pounding, his muscles burned. His legs ached as if he had been running mile after mile. His lungs begged for air, but every breath was excruciatingly painful. Every fiber of his being was screaming out in agony. And yet, for the first time in Lord knows how long, there was one ache missing. One tiny-but-sharp pain missing from the side of his head.
Instinctively, ignoring the pulsing burn that traveled up his arm, his hand found its way to his head. He braced himself as his fingers brushed that familiar spot, waiting for the tormented thought to rush through his mind. Good soldiers follow orders.
A bandage?
No skull-splitting headache ensued. Instead, he found himself pressing his palm to a small, soft bandage plastered onto his skull. The only voice in his mind was his own. There was no one else, telling him to obey orders, to follow the Empire, to hurt his brothers.
A groan escaped his lips. He forced his eyes to open, but immediately regretted it when a bright light flooded his vision. He hissed in a breath.
āCrosshair?ā
He tried again, slower. He was greeted by the face of a young, golden-haired child. Her brown eyes were filled with worry. Concern. Were those tears? Why did she look so scared?
āCrosshair! Can you hear me?ā
āOmega?ā Yes, that was her name. Omega.
Her eyes lit up. A smile spread across her face. āCrosshair! Youāre okay!ā
A chorus of voices that he couldnāt make out surrounded him. Pats to his aching shoulders, a set of hands helping him to a sitting position, all touches he could feel but not fully comprehend. He was disoriented, displaced. Until that child climbed up in front of him and threw her arms around his neck. Suddenly, his floating mind grounded itself in this girlās hug. Everything came into focus and he could finally make out four faces he knew, oh, so well.
āHow do you feel, Cross?ā Hunter. He placed his hand on Crosshairās shoulder.
Crosshair grunted in response. He felt again. That was enough. Even if it was pain he was feeling, it was still better than nothing.
āHowās your head?ā Omegaās small voice was pleading. Gingerly, she reached up to touch the bandage, but he grabbed her wrist before she could. Her small body tensed and her eyes grew wide as his action. She stared at him until he loosened his grip. He let go of her hand entirely and his gaze blankly fell to the metal surface he was sitting on.
āYou came back for meā¦ā His voice trailed off. Even to himself, he sounded weak and pathetic.
āWe did, Cross. We werenāt going to leave you, not again.ā Hunter squeezed his shoulder. āIām sorry we didnāt come back sooner. We shouldāveāā
āNo, no you shouldnātāve.ā The sniper kept his eyes locked on absolutely nothing. He knew that one look at his brotherās face and he would crack to pieces. āThe Empireā¦ They wouldāveā¦ā He squeezed his eyes shut. Images of his rifle sights set on Hunter crowded his mind. āI wouldāveā¦ killedā¦ā
āCrosshair, look at me,ā Omega spoke with all the force of a commanding officer. She cupped his rough face in her soft, delicate hands and gently tugged him until he looked into her eyes. āIt wasnāt you. You didnāt do any of that. It was the chip.ā
āButā¦ But Iā¦ā
āIt wasnāt you, Crosshair.ā Omega smiled at him, those eyes lighting up like a thousand stars. āWe missed you.ā Before he could protest, she hugged his flaming torso and buried herself in his chest. She gave him a light squeeze, being mindful of his many bruises.
He stared down at her in wide-eyed shock. She felt so warm, so alive. She was willing to hug him, toā¦ to love him, even after everything he had done. What did he do to deserve that kind of undying loyalty? Absolutely nothing. He had tried to hurt his brothers, to force them to join the Empire. And yet, here was this little girl, clinging to him, as if she never wanted him to leave again.
āWe did miss you, Cross,ā Hunter spoke, his smoky voice low and sorrowful. āWeāre sorry.ā He joined Omega, wrapping his arms around Crosshairās shoulders and Omegaās back. āIām sorry.ā
One by one, Echo, Wrecker and Tech fell in and pulled their long-lost brother into a warm embrace. Crosshair could do nothing but sit there, fighting every emotion that came welling up inside him. He was a soldier. He couldnāt give into thisā¦ He couldnāt allow emotion toā¦
He broke. The tears he tried to ward off came flowing out, and he hugged Omega tightly to himself. He cried into her shoulder, his own shaking with each sob, and his brothers held him closer. āWe love you, Crosshair,ā Omega whispered as she stroked his head.
Finally, he was back where he belonged, with his squad. He was with his family. And nothing, absolutely NOTHING was ever going to tear him from them again.
I wish this actually happened! The finale really shook me!
The Silence Brings Me Home
Hey! This is my first fanfic so I hope you all enjoy it! I was inspired by an illustration I saw of Crosshair sobbing and holding Lula for comfort (which I cannot find for the life of me, if I do eventually Iāll link it). I meant to get his done before ep. 11Ā Devilās DealĀ (and especially before this weekās) because we still didnāt know what Cross looked like at that point, but Iām slow and here we are. There is some fanart I did at the end, Iāve only recently gotten back into drawing after a long time, so it might be a little rough sorry!
Summary: The Batch get Crosshair back, but what he has, and almost done haunts him. Comfort is given in the simplest of ways: by being presen for the healing.
Warnings:Ā Mention of blood/injury, killing/murder. Heavy angst with comfort. Self loathing ideation.The beginnings of a family healing together from trauma.

It was as close as it got to silent within the Havoc Marauder. The ship always faintly hummed as it cruised through space; the engines and various systems constantly working away in the background via a complicated web of technology and wiring, maintained by the Batchās resident genius. Rumors were, if someone listened close enough as a ship passed through hyperspace, they could faintly hear the sound of the decillions of particles out there passing around the ship. Something like sand blasting the outside of the hull, but with a bell-like, ringing, song. It was that sort of silence that found all six of the inhabitants within the Marauder.
Tech, the aforementioned genius, was nursing a new goose egg on his forehead with a cold compress while attempting to repair a hairline fracture in one of his goggles lenses. Echo sat across from him helping to guide the nearly blind man in his endeavour. Besides a myriad of small cuts and new bruises, Echoās left leg lay detached and balanced on his lap, waiting for attention from Tech for a recently smoking blaster hole through the calf. Laying in his bunk, Wrecker was also nursing a new blaster wound: the bolt having ripped through his armour and taken a chunk out of his right bicep.
