Passed out early last night so I still have to finish editing my fic for the expanse exchange. Depending on when I get home from work it will be posted tonight or tomorrow @thetruecaptain sorry for the wait!!! 💙
Eep I can't reply so reblogging but no rush!! I'm also posting mine tomorrow. Can't wait to see it!

“You were a radical, and then you were betrayed. Then you hid out with the Inners, and then you become a big hero. So why is Naomi Nagata here with us now?”
“I think this is our time - time for the Belt to stand up. If not now, maybe never.”
Naomi Nagata in episode 3x07 “Delta V”
To echo @the-roci‘s tags: yes yes yes to this look. Really hope that Naomi keeps her Belter aesthetic now that she’s back on the Roci. I mean, it’s just such a powerful look and it suits her so well. The high neck with the slim plunging neckline showing off a sliver of skin and her gorgeous new tattoo. The way it’s regal and feminine but kind of defensive, the stiff collar and the slimness of the opening means that it guards rather than reveals her body. It’s also very practical for zero G and engineering work - the collar will hold its shape regardless of gravity or leaning forward to fix stuff.
And with the gleaming buttons, the lovely wine colour and the changes to her hair and tattoos, this feels like Naomi displaying a sense of style and flair that she hasn’t had the chance to do before. Since the Cant they’ve been living day to day, but even with the stops on Tycho Naomi never took the opportunity to change her look. But here she’s had the chance to stop and regroup. To indulge herself a little bit. And she comes out with this new look befitting of her person, her new role and her status as a Belter. It’s very different from the company jumpsuits she’s worn up until now. The Roci crew all find small ways to make their uniforms their own, but this is Naomi choosing her look from the ground up and I love it.
I'm stoked for my fic exchange prompt but also kind of nervous because it's an AU and I've never done that *flails*
I'm so hyped to see what everyone comes up with, though!!
Ahhhhh does no one ship Amos/Bobbie? ;_;
I am sure some people do!! It's not one of the more popular ships but there's nothing wrong with it and if you ship them, Nonny, don't be afraid to flail about it! I will flail with you if you have no one else! Amos and Bobbie together would be a powerful combo, whether it's romantic or not. I do hope we get to see some bonding with them soon! I'm unsure whether Bobbie is staying with them permanently after last season but if she does, I foresee some awesome Amos/Bobbie scenes. I think they would get each other on a level that the others don't. They process things in a similar way, they're both very physical when it comes to working through personal issues. And I mean, any tactical team with Bobbie and Amos on it would be a force to behold. I'm pretty sure those two would literally be unstoppable together. SO YEAH I am here for all of your Amos/Bobbie flailing! Fandom should be about flailing together, after all.
32 - Namos! :)
Thank you so much for the prompt! Sorry this took so long!
“You look like shit, Boss.”
Dark circles lined her eyes and her hair stuck to her forehead. Naomi groaned at the volume of Amos’s voice as it bounced around her skull. She tightened the blanket around her shoulders and leaned her head against the cool metal bulkhead, hoping whatever was left of her stomach contents would stay there. The entire night cycle had been spent in her thankfully private bathroom, curled around the toilet between bouts of vomiting.
“What was in that meatloaf?” She moaned, clutching her stomach as it started cramping again.
“Honestly, I don’t even want to know. Half the Cant’s stuck in their cabins.”
“Why aren’t you sick?” She glared at him petulantly.
“I’ve had worse,” he shrugged. “Vodka goulash kept me in the head for a week. And that was once I made it there. My cabin…” he shuddered, “…everywhere. The smell, it was like-”
“Please stop,” Naomi choked out before clutching the rim of the bowl and heaving. Amos laughed. When she was finished Naomi wiped her mouth and glared at him again. “You’re such an asshole.”
“You know what they say-”
“Finish that sentence and I will puke on you and drown you in it.”
Amos only laughed again before kneeling down in front of her. He unzipped his jumpsuit and pulled out a bulb of bright orange liquid. An electrolyte booster.
“You like the orange-flavored ones, right?” He’d always seen her drinking the orange ones the morning after a night of clubbing and karaoke. Naomi nodded and accepted it from him, taking small sips.
Reaching over her head, he pulled a cloth from one of the wall compartments and dampened it from the tap. Gently cradling her head and lifting her hair out of the way, he placed the washcloth on the back of her neck. She sighed at the cooling sensation and leaned her head back, closing her eyes. When she opened them again, Amos was holding out a pillow and her hand terminal for her to take.
“Got those cube reno shows you won’t admit you like queued up on there. I’ll be next door if you need anything.”
“But that’s my bunk,” she frowned.
“Yeah and I don’t think you’re gonna get much use out of it for awhile,” Amos grinned.
“What about the Cant, who’s gonna-”
“I’ve already been down to the shop and my terminal’s linked to all the important stuff. She’ll be fine for a day.” Naomi blinked up at him. The pillow was calling her name, she couldn’t fight it. “Get some rest, Boss,” he said softly. She blinked again and his silhouette was going blurry as he walked away and the door slid shut behind him.
“Weighed on me,” she said. “All those dead people because of what I’d done. I tried to leave. Told [Marco] I wouldn’t turn him in if he just let me take you and go. So instead he took you away.” “The only right you have with anyone in life is the right to walk away.” – Nemesis Games, Ch. 25: Naomi
