A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away– no rly tho, it was a long time ago, I got into the Star Wars: Expanded Universe and fell in love with both Tenel Ka Djo and Jacen Solo. There have been fanfictions, cosplays, websites, craft projects — all kinds of things I’ve created surrounding them and one of those things happens to be this blog. So welcome to ereneda —

Ice Cave by MarshallLipp


THE FIRST THING Jacen noticed before they ventured out into the night side of Ryloth was the searing cold. Though the mouth of the cave sheltered them somewhat from the frigid wind, there was no way to avoid it completely. A white cloud of steam formed in front of his face with each breath he released.

The serviceable brown jumpsuit that had kept him barely warm enough while they mined ryll proved a completely ineffective barrier against the deep, gnawing iciness of the eternal winter on Ryloth’s dark side.

He shivered and looked at Tenel Ka. Her lizard-hide boots rose to midcalf, but her tough and durable scaled armor covered only a minuscule portion of her upper thigh and left her arms completely bare.

“You must be c-c-cold,” he said.

“This is a fact.” She reached into her belt pouch, pulled out the fingersized flash heater she always carried, and ignited it. Although it was capable of starting a fire–if they’d had anything to burn–the heat it radiated was too small to warm more than the hand that held it.

Jacen wished he had some extra piece of clothing to give her. He toyed briefly with the idea of stripping down and offering Tenel Ka his jumpsuit. But even in the dim light, one glance at the brave face framed by warrior braids told him that he would risk her wrath even to suggest such an idea. 

Chill wind gusted into the cave like knives of ice. Unable to think of any other comfort, Jacen put his arms around Tenel Ka and pulled her closer to him, in hopes of at least sharing some of his body warmth.

“It is also a fact that we cannot stay here,” Tenel Ka said. Though she was careful to keep the flash heater away from his clothing, her arm slid around Jacen’s waist and hugged him tightly. “We must find our way to the temperate zone, over the mountains. I do not believe we have come farther than five or six kilometers from where Lowbacca indicated we should wait for him.”

“You m-mean, go back through the tunnels? We’d get lost.” He shivered convulsively. “It could take us d-days to find our way back, if we ever do….”

“No,” Tenel Ka said. “We would risk being I recaptured.” She nodded toward the frigid land scape outside. “No, we must go out there.”

“But you’ll f-freeze,” Jacen objected. His lips begun to feel numb.

“I am already cold,” she said. “We will grow no warmer by staying in this cave. We cannot hope for rescue if we stay here, and we risk being spotted by the Diversity Alliance.”

Jacen’s hands, still on Tenel Ka’s back, were growing stiff and ached with the cold. He flexed his fingers a few times, then buried them behind the unbraided portion of hair that hung down her back. “You’re right,” he said. “I just wish we could make a blanket out of your hair.”

She jerked backward a few centimeters and looked into his eyes. "Jacen, my friend, that is an excellent idea!“

He blinked back at her, not quite sure how what he had said could actually prove useful. “Please, assist me in unbraiding my hair,” she said.

Reluctantly, Jacen released his hold on her; he had enjoyed the close contact. He shook the stiffness from his fingers and tugged a thong from the end of one of her braids. Still clumsy because of the cold, he combed his shaking fingers through her hair to untangle the braid. Handing Jacen the flash heater, Tenel Ka used her single hand with considerably less clumsiness. When they were finished, clouds of thick red-gold hair flowed down Tenel Ka’s arms, shoulders, and back, all the way to her waist.

Tenel Ka looked out through the cave opening, preparing herself for the ordeal they were about to face. Gazing out at the starry sky, she said, "Beautiful. As beautiful as rainbow gems from Gallinore.“

"Yes… beautiful,” Jacen agreed, though he was not looking at the sky.

       After the lightsaber accident, in the days before they all joined Tenel Ka on Hapes, Jacen found himself drifting around the woods outside of the Jedi Temple, alone and listless. His mind whirled with guilt and fear as he mentally repeated the same questions to himself.
       Could he have stopped his swing? If he hadn't been so desperate to impress her with his skills, could he have realized her lightsaber wasn't working correctly before it shorted out?
       Little did he know that years later, Tenel Ka would wander the grounds of Reef Fortress, the same place they spent time together after the accident, in the same state of mind. She had become the Queen Mother of Hapes and he had been taken by the Yuuzhan Vong, presumably killed.
       What could she have done differently? Could she have saved him? Kept him from going with Vergere if she had just stood her ground?

The Witches of Dathomir 

While rancors dined on others, the daughters of Allya prospered from generation to generation, teaching their own daughters the spells. We divided into clans, and for a long time the clans vied for men in friendly competition, stealing mates. We governed ourselves, punished anyone caught using the night spells. In my grandmother’s day, we pushed the wild rancors from these mountains. My grandmothers hunted the last of them. We hoped for peace at last.

Another commission for the SWEU (aka J/TK) wall! :D

Basically brb sobbing cause this is so beautiful and oh my god Tenel Ka and Jacen were absolutely robbed in canon.

This is by the lovely and talented Dani and you can find her on IG! She based the outfits off of costumes we made and there's no lie when I type here that hex made the dumbest sounds probably too high for even dogs to hear when she first saw this image. ;___;

The Nightsister seemed to snap as her anger came free of its delicate cage. “Then I won’t hesitate to destroy you as well!” Her black robes rippled like a thunderstorm. Locking her violet gaze on Tenel Ka, she raised her clawed hands, fingers outspread, glossy dark hair crackling with static as her body charged with electrical power.

Tenel Ka stood directly in front of her, unflinching, as the dark Force built to a climax within the Nightsister.

Without warning, Tenel Ka lashed out with her foot, putting all of the strength of her muscular, athletic legs behind the kick. The sharp toe of her hard, scaled boot struck the Nightsister’s unarmored kneecap. Tenel Ka distinctly heard the crunch of a breaking bone and tearing muscles as her blow struck home. The Nightsister shrieked and fell to the ground, writhing in agony.

Calm and self-satisfied, Tenel Ka stared down at her with cool gray eyes. “I never use the Force unless I have to,” she said. “Sometimes old-fashioned methods are just as effective.”

I love Tenel Ka, she’s amazing
