Hi! This is EwanMcGregorIsMyHomeboy12, and I just wanted to say that I really love your stories! I still think abouts it's raining dear frequently and how beautiful that story was and saltcoats is of course amazing. Thank you for sharing your work!!!

Sorry for anon-ing, I can't send directs from this account

Ah thank you so much!! This is really sweet so here's a short scene I had cut from It's Raining, Dear pulled from the drafts just for you 😬❤️

Luke stepped into the batter’s box, brows drawn in, cleats untied, and lifted his bat high before hammering it down onto homeplate, sending a dust cloud billowing out around him.

“Cody.” Obi-Wan gestured excitedly from his folding chair. “He’s up, get a picture.”

Cody lifted his phone and zoomed in. “I have literally had my camera ready this entire time you don’t have to-”

“Well how was I supposed to know that?”

“Baby. Why else would I be holding my phone up?”

Obi-Wan tipped his head down and scowled over the top of his sunglasses. “Why are you being short with me? I haven’t done anything.”

Cody snapped a few shots while Luke swung and missed at the first pitch. “I’m not being short I’m – Good job, Luke! Keep your eye on the ball! – I’m just a little tired of you asking me every two minutes to take a picture when you also have your phone out.”

“Oh, well I’m sorry that I’m forcing you to support your lovely nephew, I can’t imagine how hard it must be.”

Luke watched a pitch in the dirt go by and the count evened to 1-1.

“Good eye, kid!” Cody flashed a thumbs up before turning back to Obi-Wan and dropping his voice. “Are you really bitching at me right now?”

“Well if you’re going to bitch at me-”

“Oh my God,” Cody groaned.

Luke knocked the next pitch fowl and slumped his shoulders.

“It’s alright!” Obi-Wan sat up and applauded him. “That was good contact, just straighten it out this time!” He reached over and tapped Cody’s shoulder. “Make sure you get a picture; this might be his last pitch.”

Cody raised his phone higher. “If you ask me that one more fucking time-”

“Then what?” Obi-Wan snapped. “What are you going to do? Leave?”

“I might.”

“In front of Luke?”

Cody shook his head, getting a few more pictures of Luke’s batting stance. They looked great; the sun was reflecting off his helmet just beautifully. “No I mean I’m leaving you, I hope you like sleeping on the couch.”

Obi-Wan sipped his beer, unaffected by the threat. “Darling, you are welcome to sleep on the couch if that’s what you want, but you’re not making me do anything.”

“Watch me.”

Luke swung and cracked the ragged baseball hard down the third base line.

Cody jumped to his feet. “There we go!”

Luke froze.

“Luke, run!” Obi-Wan pointed both hands to first base. “Run!”

“Run!” Cody shouted.

Luke whipped around and tripped on his laces, drawing a curse out of Obi-Wan that was loud enough to start the nearest group of little-league parents muttering and pointing.

“Get up!” Cody could still see the baseball, resting peacefully in the grass while the confused left fielder ambled towards it. “You still got time!”

Luke pushed himself up, dazed and coated in dust.

Obi-Wan raked a hand through his hair. “Oh for – run!”

He tripped twice more, and it took about two years, but Luke did eventually sit down on first base, grinning wildly and stopping to wave at the crowd. “Uncle Ben! I hit a single!”

“I saw!” Obi-Wan covered his face, trying his hardest not to laugh. “Very impressive.”

Cody sank back down into his chair, heart still pounding. “What do you think, Obi? Next stop the major leagues?”

Obi-Wan swatted his head. “Don’t be mean, he’s trying.”

“Sit down,” Cody chuckled. “Do you want to see the pictures I got? There’s some really nice ones in here.”

“Yes I do.” Obi-Wan leaned down and kissed his head. “Am I still sleeping on the couch?”

Cody looked up, squinting at the sun until Obi-Wan gave him a proper kiss on the mouth. “No,” he decided. “But you’re not getting any help with the dishes tonight.”

“Such a cruel man,” Obi-Wan muttered. “I married a monster.”
