“only my friends can call me by it. well, and my masters.” kestis shrugged before stepping back to sit on a stool that seemed randomly in the middle of the room. “but, we are engaged, it would be pretty weird if you were calling me by kestis.”
“if it helps, my name is bode,” the jedi shadow said as he stepped forward, holding his hand out for kestis to take if he so inclined. “calling me knight akuna would be too formal for a marriage, whether or not it’s political, and—well who knows, maybe we can become friends?”
[jedi shadow bode is given a mission that will end the war—marry sith prince darth kestis. that is, if he survives the first meeting.]

Bode looks up and Cal’s gaze snags his immediately, drawing him in. The rebel Jedi is a remarkable combination of wariness and vulnerability, like no matter how hard Cal tries to steel himself against the pain, his grief and longing and love are too strong, too pure to be contained. They shine through the cracks like a ray of blazing light.
(Or: Bode and Cal fall in love. It complicates things.)

I Don't Wanna Say No to This
FIC | 4.1k | Teen and Up
Bode is not actually looking for Cal Kestis when he trips over him on his way out of the bar.
He’s looking for work, actually— he needs to fix up the ancient freighter he’d wound up buying for Kata and himself, that first awful week after finding Tanalorr and feeling it clutching at him in the Force, the planet a near-sentient thing, clawing, greedy…
He shakes off the sensation, hopes it’s only a memory, and looks down at Kestis. He’s unconscious, his face a single bruise, and there are four beings surrounding them. None of them look like anyone he’d leave alone in an alley with anyone, even someone who most likely wants him very dead.
Tags: Bittersweet, Angst, Miscommunication, Reunions, Forgiveness, Rescue, Implied/Referenced Slavery, Non-Consensual Drug Use, Bode was not ready to face his past, Cal's not emotionally capable of facing his past, Together they make like one entire functioning person, Past Relationship(s), Established Relationship

Fanfic Requests 2024 are GO! And the first one is a Survivor fic - "Hold on", for @dancing-entwife!
This does not look good. Stormtroopers pour out of doorways, closing in from all sides, cutting off Cal’s only viable escape unless he sprouts wings and takes to the sky. Who puts a bunker on a cliff edge? The Empire, apparently. This was supposed to be a quick, easy mission for Saw – taking out a tiny, barely patrolled weapons depot supplying the entire sector…
Which means they chose to carry out their mission during a surprise inspection, meaning every single stormtrooper is on duty, quadrupling the number of people currently shooting at Cal. The twins are pinned down outside, Gabs is doing her best to lock the base down to stop anyone else turning up, and Bravo…
“Hold on, Cal!” his voice comes over comms. “I’m working on it! Hold ‘em off a little longer.”
“Holding,” Cal says, deflecting a grenade back into the crowd, grimly satisfied when it blows and flings a batch of troopers into the air. BD whoops.
They’re not out of this yet. Cal’s not entirely sure where Bravo is. The base does have planetary fighters, so there’s a chance he’s looking to steal one. Whatever Bravo’s doing, Cal really needs it to be explosive. Like a very big rocket launcher. Or a stun grenade. Or –
A blaster bolt wings him, catching his jacket. Cal swears. He likes this jacket, a lot, and now it’s ruined. That’s what he gets for losing focus.
“BD, stay down!” Cal redirects blaster fire back to the troopers, taking them down. He’s pinned down in the central courtyard, hopelessly outnumbered. And what was he taught to do in moments like this?
Surrender to the Force.
Cal sinks into its flow, lets it guide his movements. No thought, no hesitation, no fear, only lethal movement.
The Force gives him the barest of warnings (get down) and Cal drops. A fighter goes overhead, dropping an immense payload. The Force pops, and Cal returns to his aching, weary body.
The troopers, however, are down, and the fighter hovers over. The cockpit opens, Bravo waves. “Get up here!” he bellows.
BD whoops. Cal calculates the jump, gathers the Force, and leaps, grabbing the cockpit and swinging himself into the rear seat. Bravo seals them in, and they fly off.
“I got him,” Bravo tells the others. “Get out and regroup and the Mantis.”
While cheers go out, BD offers a stim and the cockpit slowly fills with the stench of burnt sweat and flesh. Cal takes the stim. The jacket is a lost cause. He’ll have to find something else.
“Thanks, Bravo,” Cal says, reaching around to pat him on the shoulder.
“Anytime,” he says. “Although maybe next time let’s not crash a party this big.”
Cal smirks. “And where’s the fun in that?”
