"She's one clone, she can't be that much trouble." The recruit said harshly, and Crosshair pinned him with a stern look.
"I trained her. Wherever you are, you are not safe. You stay behind cover, and you might just survive."

CT-9900, the first enhanced clone. One of the first clones ever made from Jango Fett's DNA. Zero, or Z, has been fighting alongside her brothers for years. Being known as the 'Shadow' of the Republic, and one of the most reliable sources for mission completions. Whether it be a standard mission or ones that are hidden from the public, Z has done it all. But Clone Force 99 has been her home, the place where she belonged the most. Until they found themselves being ripped apart.
The one thing Z could rely on vanished, leaving her wondering; what's left for her and her squad? And what does the Empire have over her brothers, both in her squad and beyond?

FORESIGHT and SCOPE: BOOK TWO
*SEQUEL* to my first TBB fanfiction titled "Stealth and Track" The adventures of Fern, Omega, and the boys of the Bad Batch continue after the destruction of Kamino a few months prior.

While Fern's relationship and feelings with Hunter grows everyday, someone else's feelings grows for her... Fern also realizes Omega is growing up and, after experiencing many life-changing events even a soldier like herself found difficult to process, must become more than a protector and mentor...Fern must become so much more... Meanwhile, as Crosshair continues to show his loyalty to the evermore ruthless Empire, a new woman by the name of Athena appears before him and challenges his perspective, whether for better or for worse... ***I DO NOT OWN ANYONE EXCEPT FERN AND ATHENA!!!!!*** MOST IMPRESSIVE RANKINGS #1 in OC x STARWARS 🥇 #1 in OC X Hunter 🥇 #2 in Crosshair 🥈 #3 in Tech 🥉 #5 in EchoComplete
The Fire Between Shadows (Book 2)
Book Two in the Series Sequel to The Light Between Storms Now a fully graduated combat medic, Elara Thane joins Clone Force 99 on missions across the galaxy. But war is a different kind of classroom, and it's about to test her in ways no training ever could. Her past still follows. Her choices cut deeper. And every victory carries a cost. As the battles intensify, her bond with Hunter grows stronger-but so does the weight of what they're fighting for. The Republic treats its soldiers as expendable, and Elara begins to ask the one question no one else dares: What is the cost of war when the people fighting it are treated like numbers? She's no longer just trying to prove her worth- She's ready to redefine it. What do we hold onto in war? What do we lose? And what happens when the fire between shadows burns too bright to ignore?Complete
The Sharpness of Silence (Book 3)
The third book in The Light Between Storms series, following The Light Between Storms and The Fire Between Shadows. Though this story stands alone, the first two books paint the storms and shadows that make this silence sharper. Senna has always lived by rules no one else can see: steps measured in even counts, belongings kept in perfect order, silence used as shield. It is the only way the world makes sense. But war does not bend to ritual, and now the weight of memory has carved new cracks into her careful structure. Nightmares. Flashbacks. The kind of silence that does not soothe but strangles. Crosshair is the last person anyone would call gentle. Detached, cutting, impossible to read, his presence raises more questions than comfort. The sniper whose words cut deeper than his aim, he has no patience for weakness and even less for kindness. So how could someone like him, already unsettled by feelings he does not understand, ever hope to reach someone as fractured as her?
Ambassador
If you want to read a slow burn about Crosshair, this is for you. It is completely cannon compliant and fun to read if you have seen the first season. It fits into the season as if it was always a part of what was happening. What if Crosshair stays with the empire because he has more there that just being a good soldier to come back to? Written in novel format based on Season 1 of the Bad Batch, this is a platonic romance that dives into the darkness of what Kamino has done to the clones and what the future holds for them after Order 66 and the enactment of War-Mantle. As an author, I enjoy looking deeper at the issues of interpersonal drama woven together with politics. A story about Crosshair and his journey fits that quite nicely. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story Description: The war was over, but the danger of the future remained. As the Clone War came to a close, Ambassador Alanja Rampart, the sister of Admiral Rampart, is tasked with learning the truth of the dark plans of the Kaminoans. To her horror, Kamino is far darker than she could have ever imagined. Her only comfort among a sea of cloned faces is CT-9904-Crosshair. #1 starwarsthebadbatch #1 crosshairxoc #2 crosshairbadbatch ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fanart available on Instagram: @regina_au_mundi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regina au Mundi is my fanfiction pen name, and I am a published author in the Young Adult genre.Complete

The Light Between Storms (Book 1)
Elara never meant to stand out. On Kamino-where lightning splits the sky and cadets are pushed to their limits-she's just trying to survive. Exhausted from night shifts and falling behind in the combat medic program, she's one mistake away from being cut. She doesn't expect anyone to notice. Especially not them. But Clone Force 99 is watching. Led by the enigmatic Hunter-sharp-eyed, soft-spoken, and impossible to read, the squad offers her something unexpected: a second chance. A new kind of training. And a place she never thought she could belong. As Elara fights to prove herself, her bond with the team deepens... especially with the quiet sergeant who sees more than she wants to admit. In the storm of war, survival isn't just about strength. It's about trust, found family, and the courage to let someone in. And on a planet where it never stops raining, Elara might finally find her light.Complete
