## Auspice is just a fancy word for Cockblock: honestly one of the best fics about cross species romance and quadrants also hilarious. The idea of Condesce needing a third leaf for a human relationship isn't something I ever read before. And the dialogue was amazing!!! Honestly probably one of the best fics I've ever read.

FIRST LINE: “Well,” said Rose, uncrossing her legs and growling like a tiger. “It seems like we’re at an impasse, Empress.”

FINAL LINE: “Looks like we all got a… peace of mind, huh?” said Vriska, winking. Rose and the Condesce, despite being mind-control pinned to the floor, managed one, collective groan at her pun.

The hardest part was definitely the galactic war parallels. Researching military strategy was sure hard work, and it didn’t help that the only planet destroying technology I’ve come in contact with before was from Star Wars. Pretty sure I managed to pull off the parallels between Rose/The Condesce/Vriska’s relationship and Earth’s crumbling defense force and catastrophic population loss tho.

can you believe i almost tossed the human genocide scene at the end??? god. if earth achieved a diplomatic stability…. as opposed to a totalitarian one with the condesce as a puppet ruler for rose and vriska, as I thankfully decided on… man, that would have been hells of boring.

MEME MORE! MEME MORE!
