#but i will say i could see ahsoka coming along with anakin and the trophy wives
Note
I was reading back through the pbatmb tag and saw the post about Anakin playing nice with the other trophy spouses and now I can’t stop thinking about some contrivance that leads to Anakin lowkey teaching the trophy spouses some basic self defense, bc You Never Know when you might get kidnapped as leverage against your politician spouse. And they all end up bonding over it and Anakin makes some Actual Friends for once. (I know I stole this idea from some movie but Force knows which one)
ahh this is so nice but i don't think anakin would know what to do with a friend if he ever actually managed to a) convince someone to be his friend and b) want to do that. kid has mad unhinged energy and also i feel like pretty bird anakin sees the world as Family (Affectionate) and Not Family (Derogatory). He's satisfied with only Family, and i don't think that's even a result of him being with Obi-Wan. I think he's just...born like that. He only ever cared about Ahsoka before meeting Obi-Wan, and I'm sure his mother was like that for him before she died.
In the same way, Obi-Wan sees the world like Family (Tolerant), Pretty Bird (Worshipful), and Not Family Or Pretty Bird (Derogatory).
so what can a new friend give to either of them that they cannot just get from Rex, Cody, Ahsoka, Boil, Waxer, Jesse, Jax, Slick, etc etc? vapid conversation? genuine compassion? overrated and sickening. due to their personalities and personal histories, obi-wan is much, much better at playing nice with anyone and everyone because he's cold and calculating and he sees people as things to use that would be useful for him and his plans. Anakin sees people as...a distraction from boredom most of the time. Maybe a means to an ends. Certainly not a project worth investing his time or attentions towards.
obi-wan says his time and attentions are very, very valuable, and anakin agrees.
#asks#pbatmb#this just turned into another character story im sorry rip#character study ***#but this is a darling idea i love that sort of trope#they're just too psychopathic for it to really work with how i imagine pb and mobi-wan to operate </3#like i cannot stress enough. dark#evil psychopaths who love each other#but i will say i could see ahsoka coming along with anakin and the trophy wives#and ahsoka (who is normal and not insane and evil and unstable) loves them!#THEY bond#ahsoka starts spending her free time with angelina call me angel and sabrina#anakin is mad with jealousy#he definitely 100% wants to kill them for taking ahsoka away and threatening his world#but ahsoka says it would make her really really really sad if they were to die :(#so anakin can't but you know mobi-wan is hearing about it all the time#mobi-wan with anakin's begging ringing in his ears#rigs a few elections so angelina call me angel's husband loses#but also gets him a good job in another city#so they have to leave#and then obi-wan and anakin have great we-just-ruined-someone's-life-let's-fuck sex

Vod’ika 18
...Sorry for the delay. I had a rough week. Not that anyone particularity cares.
This was a request from LEC - Hope you enjoy mate.
Read, review and enjoy
They were used to losing their brothers in this war. It was something each and every one of them had to live with. But at least then, they usually had a body or armor to show for it. For their sister however, there was nothing. She seemed to just… vanish. But they knew she was alive.
"What do you mean you can't find her?" Skywalker asked, his fury barely contained.
"We've searched the perimeter five times now sir – there's nothing. No trace, no signs of struggle… Nothing," Rex managed to keep a passive expression.
"Then search again. She couldn't just disappear!" Anakin didn't want to yell at the man, especially since he knew they were all worried about her. But he couldn't take it anymore.
"Understood sir," the Captain gave a cut nod and turned, heading back to the others.
"…They have not found her yet…" Plo Koon said, a few steps away from Skywalker.
"No… But we'll keep looking," he assured, eyes following Rex as he gave out more orders to the men. Fives spared a look to the Generals, before giving a nod to the blonde. They were all exhausted – it was a long battle – and even with the Wolfpack's help, they've only come up empty. Ahsoka was gone.
"Still nothing?" Rex asked, seeing Appo walk up with disappointed eyes.
"No. We just can't find her. Hardcase, Jesse and Kix checked every meter of the last place she was seen. Comet, Boost and Sinker tried to look for any weapons marks and found none. Whoever did this… they were good," Appo said in short.
"Captain! We might have something!" Fives called, rushing towards them. "Kano and I found half hidden tracks – someone probably got a bit sloppy."
"Where?" the three were already moving, the ARC leading the way.
"Here," Fives stopped by a small clearing, with Kano already waiting.
"Our best guess is that whoever was here, had someone waiting for transport. The tracks end, but the grass is slightly flattened," Kano explained, looking at the Captain.
"Were you able to identify the tracks?"
"…Trandoshan."
"What do you think they're going to do to her?" Hardcase asked, sitting in the med-bay while Kix patched up his shoulder. He tripped over some roots and crashed into a bunch of rocks. It wasn't serious, but the medic needed something to do.
"Eat her?" Fives felt a shudder up his spine as the words left his mouth. He didn't even think about it, leaning on a wall next to the bed.
"Not helping," Jesse shook his head, lips tight and arms folded. He sat on the chair opposite Hardcase, leg tapping the floor.
"Trandoshans don't just 'eat' others. They usually want to hunt, and make trophies. Thrill of the hunt or something…" Oz rubbed his chin in thought, seeing all his brothers giving him steady and blank looks. "Right, not helping…"
"Thinking about what'll happen won't help anyone and won't change anything," Kix finally spoke up, finishing up with the patch. "So stop."
The doors opened seconds after, and an exhausting looking Rex stepped in, a deep sigh leaving him.
"Captain," the soldiers greeted.
"How're you doing?" the blonde looked around, but didn't step closer.
"Fine. How's the General?"
"…As you'd expect. Anxious and worried. But I think General Koon managed to calm him down a bit," Rex answered.
"You don't look all that great yourself," Kix gave him a quick glance and shook his head.
"Been checking on the others. We'll be heading to Coruscant for a few days."
"You mean until we find Ahsoka."
"…Yeah."
"How are the others?"
"Worried, mostly. Kano and Appo are working on a map – try to see if they can track the ship. But they haven't had much luck…"
"Damn it! I feel so useless!" Fives punched the nearby wall, eyes burning.
"Taking it out on the infirmary won't help you," Kix gave the man a pointed look.
"We all feel that way, Fives," Jesse stood and gently put a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, she's our vod too," Hardcase nodded, putting on his armor.
"Isn't there anything we can do? Some way to help?" Oz asked, looking at the blonde.
"Nothing so far. Unless we know where these bastards are, we're in the dark," Rex shook his head, but there was a certain determination in his eyes.
"I wonder how she's doing… What, she's doing…" Jesse mused quietly, eyes on the floor.
"C'mon, she has to deal with us all day every day. She sure as kriff can handle some Trandoshans," Hardcase lightly nudged him in the shoulder.
"He's right," Rex spoke up. "She learned with and from us. She learned from the General. She's a Jedi. Someway, somehow, she'll find a way to either contact us, or get back on her own. We just need to be ready when that happens," the others grinned and nodded.
"If I see any of those lizards, I'm knocking his teeth out," Fives had a wicked smirk on his face as he cracked his knuckles.
"Ha! I hear you need to pull their tail if you really wanna annoy them," Jesse tossed in.
"You can do both. Don't forget the talons," Oz moved his fingers to emphases.
"Boyah! Kick some lizard ass! My kinda fun!" Hardcase was getting excited.
"Try not to get yourselves killed," Kix rolled his eyes, but was grinning.
Rex simply watched. They were all worried about Ahsoka. But they also believed in her and her skills. They knew their sister, and knew she would beat this and come home stronger than ever. And if not? Well then, there would be a severe decrease in the Trandoshan population, with Skywalker at the front of it.
When the news came, it spread like wild fire. Everyone practically dropped what they were doing, asking for details. But there was only so much they knew. There wasn't much to do on Coruscant even – many just stayed on the ship. But even to those who weren't on it at the time, the news reached quickly.
"Wookies?" Fives asked, head turning to the others.
"Said so himself," Jesse answered, speeding up his walk.
"And they found two more?" Kix barely kept himself from brining his pack along.
"Yeah – missing for a while now," Jesse took the sharp turn.
"Why did he call you?" Hardcase was rushing after them.
"I don't know – but he ended the call quickly."
The four of them walked up the stairs and spotted the Captain by the doors of the landing platform, arms folded and leaning on wall. Outside, they could see a Wookie ship, the Wookies themselves, some young looking Padawans and Generals Skywalker and Koon. They didn't see Ahsoka however…
"We're waiting here," Rex said, opening his eyes. He was tense and curt, but the words probably weren't his own.
"…Orders?" Fives asked in disbelieve, watching the brunette Jedi from afar.
"Yeah. Don't want to get the men's hope up."
"But, then why call us?"
"Because I know she's on that ship," there was an iron assurance and confidence that these men have only seen in their leaders.
"Then we wait," Kix nodded. He didn't sound like he liked it, but understood.
"I wish I could see…" Hardcase frowned, but didn't move.
"Give it a few minutes…" Jesse assured, but he was anxious himself.
They saw the Generals move in closer, looking at someone short and they all knew it had to be her. But still…
Skywalker was talking to the short person, his body language tense but angry. At himself. Further proof that it was her. But they were assured, when Skywalker turned and beside him stood the Togruta, covered in dirt and dust, but smiling.
"It's her!" Hardcase yelled, his smile wide.
"She's alive!" Jesse high-fived with Fives, then smacked their forearms together.
"She's seen better days, but yeah," Kix let out a relived breath.
"She's our vod after all," Rex smiled, got off the wall and stood straight in front of the men.
"Commander Tano!" he called, giving a salute as she neared.
"Boys!" she called back, eyes bright as she ran forward.
Anakin ignored the group hug they shared, but gave a smile. The Masters might still be watching, but none of them cared about it. He saw the relief and joy on her face as she buried her face in the familiar white-blue and durasteel armor.
"Olarom yaim," he heard Rex whisper. His Mando'a was still rusty and weak, but he could at least figure the context of it. He felt the same.
Cut! Yeah, so, LEC - hope you liked it. Thanks for the request.
I'd like to say I'm ending the story in two chapters - at 20. The last one will be... slightly different, but there's one more in between. Hope you all stick with me for that one...
Anyway, thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed. Feel free to review
Till next time
