Oh, friends, there is so much good Obikin fic about our two favorite idiots in the STAR WARS fandom out there and I have a huge back archive of recs to show for it, but sometimes it’s hard to know where to start when you’re new or haven’t read anything in awhile, so I wanted to put together a list of Starter Recs that I think are great places for a beginner who’s just dipping their toe into the waters! There are many, many fics that are often times some of my favorites that will not be on this list, because these are the ones that I think are specifically useful to those who are just kind of figuring out what they like or aren’t really sure they 100% ship it and just kind of want to test things out. And also because if you made me list my actual favorites, it’d be literally thirty times as long as this, and that might be just a bit overwhelming. So, here, have my suggestions for where to start! Joinnnnn usssssssss. OBIKIN RECS - CANON-COMPLIANT UP TO BEFORE EVERYTHING GOES TO SHIT: ✦ Equinox by lilyconrad, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, sith!obi-wan (sort of), d/s, 95.9k During the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan and Anakin crash on a remote planet and take shelter in the ruins of a grand estate only to find they are not alone. ✦ Upfall by bell (belldreams), obi-wan/anakin & some obi-wan/satine & ahsoka & cast, NSFW, 166.8k Anakin is doing just about everything he can to hold himself together; it won’t last. ✦ the sound of your voice (helps me find peace) by izazov, obi-wan/anakin, 34.7k Five times Anakin had to ask for a story. And one time Obi-Wan offered it freely. ✦ Lex Talionis by intermundia, obi-wan/anakin & ahsoka & cast, NSFW, sith!obi-wan, sith!anakin, 187k How Obi-Wan and Anakin fell to the dark side, obtained their revenge, and saved the galaxy in the process. ✦ starbird by imaginarykat, obi-wan/anakin & cast, 8.8k Anakin thinks he knows everything about Obi-Wan but doesn’t.

Obi-Wan is having the time of his life. ✦ small gestures and grand vows by loosingletters, obi-wan/anakin & cast, 6k Five times Obi-Wan and Anakin show how devoted they are to each other, and one time somebody demands proof and they are insulted. ✦ Across the Stars by unfortunate17, obi-wan/anakin & cast, NSFW, time travel, 14k A story of how Obi-Wan and Anakin have thousands of firsts between them, fates intertwined by the will of the force across space and time.

(He gets better at it. Eventually.) ✦ what heaven did you leap from, dear love? by loosingletters, obikinn, obi-wan/anakin, 3.2k Surely Obi-Wan hadn’t meant to call him that. It was just a slip of the tongue, he told himself. But that didn’t stop his heart from racing and his palms from getting sweaty. ✦ Abyssus Abyssum Invocat by Burning_Nightingale, obi-wan/anakin, 10.3k While searching for Separatists on the very edge of the Unknown Regions, Obi-Wan and Anakin discover three things.

Rebels Rewatch: "Shroud of Darkness"

Heading back to Lothal for the beginning of the end arc.

We start right away In Media Res with Kanan and Ezra fighting the Inquisitors. And man is it amazing to watch how far they've both come in their lightsaber combat.

Ezra could barely duel Seventh for a minute back in "Always Two There Are" and now he's holding his own against her AND Fifth, with help granted but still.

Part of the reason why I think Season Two has to span the longest length of time out of all the seasons.

This is almost over-choreographed, lots of spins and lightsaber twirls that are frankly superfluous but they look cool so you know, whatever.

"I don't go for crazy... anymore." Do tell Kanan, lol.

It's funny because the voice actors are married.

NO I DON'T THINK THE SYMBOLISM OF EZRA DANGLING PRECARIOUSLY OFF A PRECIPICE WITH KANAN AS THE ONLY THING PREVENTING HIS FALL IS ANY KIND OF COINCIDENCE, GIVEN LATER IN THE EPISODE.

Rebels tends to be very deliberate about these things lol.

I don't think I noticed before but the past several episodes have had no fanfare and I think we all should have taken that as a clue or portent of things to come.

A+ padawan tossing Kanan, slick move.

Ezra's effortless flip over the Inquisitors. <3

Kanan complaining but ultimately having full trust in Ezra and the proud look he gives him. <3

Ezra being polite and thanking the tibedee, aww.

Okay I should stop before I gush over every second here.

Kanan expresses some rather natural worries about the fact that his and Ezra's presence is going to put the rest of the fleet at risk, since the Inquisitors keep finding them, and determines to bring in the big gun (Ahsoka) on this one. The expressions in this scene and the quiet subtle emotion is just beautiful, Kanan's worry about how to keep everyone safe just palpable.

RIGHT, SURE. SMACK ME IN THE FACE WITH PRE-VADER ANAKIN FEELS WITH ANAKIN MAKING HOLOCRON LIGHTSABER TUTORIALS FOR YOUNGLINGS.

Anakin would have loved Ezra. *sobbing*

Subtle animation appreciation moment: Ezra creeping around very carefully so as not to disturb Ahsoka's meditation, and the way his hand fumbles out for the seat.

Ahsoka talking so fondly about Anakin, ow.

I remember when this aired Ahsoka's line about, "The last time I saw him, he was running off to save the Chancellor." caused quite a bit of hullabaloo in fandom because, well, TCW Season 7 wasn't actually a thing yet, from our perspective she'd just walked off in Season 5 never to be seen again.

Writers decided to be all, "Let's incorporate unfinished storylines as if they're canon!" much to fan confusion, lol, wonder if they knew at that point that they were getting renewed to finish the last season.

"I can barely protect you." "I don't need protecting." *LAUGHS IN THIS ENTIRE SEASON* Right, how many times exactly did you get captured or in trouble this season Ezra? Yeah.

Our first hints of Hera's worried misgivings about Kanan's eventual plan to separate from the fleet.

The blockade hasn't returned yet to Lothal airspace, interesting. Maybe with the Spectres gone they loosened things just a little.

Our first time hearing Ezra's theme since I think "Legacy", a nice marker of us coming home.

Did... Ahsoka not know that Ezra was from Lothal before this? What's with the question? Did she think the Spectres just picked him up randomly on one of their adventures and take him with?

Still as pretty as ever.

Ahsoka's not confident enough in calling herself a Jedi to believe a Jedi Temple would open for her, boy this girl and her self-identity issues.

She doesn't think she deserves the title. She left and then everything fell apart and there was no more Order to return to, so she couldn't return, even though she maybe wanted to, even though she realized being a Jedi was what she did truly care about.

OH HEY, THERE'S THE DOOR PALPATINE STEALS.

And they walk down the exact same hall that Ezra would later walk down in the finale into the bowels of the Temple, excuse me, I need to--

*weeps*

I do love the Force Weirdness of this episode, how only Kanan can see the door bathed in light, how Ezra just sort of slips into the ether that is between the Temple and the Nexus of the World Between Worlds and disappears.

And I love Kanan's portion of this episode. Confronted by a vision of a dojo in the Temple and a Temple Guardian, Grand before he was an Inquisitor, who warns that trying to fight will result in failure and Ezra's fall to the Dark Side. (This speech sounds eerily similar to Grand's demoralizing speech to Ezra in "Gathering Forces" in fact.)

That immediate cold protective fury aaaaah I love it!

Grand's threat here was taken way too literally as prophetic foreshadowing by fandom BTW. Still is.

So Kanan and Grand square up and in the meantime the Inquisitors have found them. Again. I don't think they ever explained how, perhaps it's just that Inquisitor intuition that made Kanan and Ezra have to separate the first time, back in "Gathering Forces".

Hi Seventh! Hi Fifth!

Ahsoka reminiscing about Yoda. :(

Ezra, meanwhile, casually chatting the man up. XD

Kanan doing some casual Jar'Kai. Just cause.

[Insert "You're doing amazing sweetie" reaction image.]

OH BOY NOW WE GET TO DELVE INTO AHSOKA'S GUILT ISSUES ABOUT ANAKIN.

Bby girl knows deep down that he's become Vader but is still so vehemently in denial of it, the Force is smacking her in the face with the weight of her own guilt. Ahsoka feels like, "Maybe if I hadn't left..." but it's not about her, Anakin made his own stupid choices, there was nothing, metatextually, that Ahsoka could have done that would have prevented Anakin's fall it's not her fault.

:((((((((((

This is something I hope we will finally delve deep into and get over in the Ahsoka show. Babygirl needs to forgive herself for the wrongs she imagines she's done Anakin and accept that he made his choice, just like she made hers.

A snippet of Ahsoka's theme here, just for extra sads.

Oh good! It's time to play my least favorite game: Is this scene a commentary and critique of the actions of the Prequel Jedi Order or is this in-text Unreliable Narrator from Yoda as a person with obvious Survivor's Guilt.

It's especially annoying because Filoni you worked on TCW, remember all that enslaving, war criming, and general evil the Separatists were involved in on a daily basis? Are you saying the Jedi were wrong for wanting to try and stop all of that and protect the people put in harm's way? THIS WAS YOUR MATERIAL DUDE.

Love the subtle effect of the ring patterns turning red and the clear effort it's taking Seventh and Fifth to force their way into the Temple.

Kanan, meanwhile, confronted by his worst fears parroted by the vision of Grand, accepts that he cannot control his or Ezra's future, and that he should not try to. He lets go, gives up his fear of failing, gives up the instinct to cling tight to Ezra, his attachment, and acknowledges that what happens will happen, he will just do the best he can.

AND HE PASSES THE TEST AND GETS KNIGHTED BY THE FORCE ITSELF BABY!

I'm so proud of him. :)

Yoda is frustratingly cryptic, only telling Ezra, "Find Malachor" (which made KOTOR fans go nuts) before letting him fade back into realspace. To this day I'm still not quite clear just why Yoda decided to sent them that way except maybe to prove a point about what can happen when you act out of fear. Malachor does contribute to a lot of Ezra's character development, for both good and bad, so... I dunno.

Vision!Grand fighting his former co-workers aaaah I love it.

Yoda waving fondly at Ahsoka awww.

AND THE BIG DARK ASSHOLE HIMSELF IS HERE TO OVERSEE THE IMPERIAL DISCOVERY OF THE TEMPLE.

Again, I do wonder just how far back they planned the World Between Worlds reveal. Because yeah an ancient Jedi Temple is a pretty nice find but Palpatine being personally pleased with its discovery?

This episode is obviously very Plot Important but I do tend to skip it when I'm rewatching episodes, I'm not fond of the kind of downer ambiguous ending or the vaguely Jedi-critical sentiments that maybe lace through the episode.

That being said, it is a good one and definitely worth at least a couple watches. Contributes to the melancholy, "Everything is going to change" feel the last few episodes leading up to Malachor had. And that was one of this season's strengths, the build-up to what they knew would be a status quo-changing finale. Also contributes to the wider arc of the "five year plan" and the secret reason Palpatine was interested in Lothal, laying down the tracks for that reveal eeeearrrly so that it feels completely natural.

Love that. Between that and Ezra and Kanan being badass it's not terrible, just not my favorite.

The Republic, the Jedi Order and Slavery

So I have seen some discussions on the matter of the Jedi, Slavery and the Republic that I think would be interesting to explore from a legal point of view just to get a little bit outside the blame game going on in the fandom.

First off I think what we need to remember is that slavery, while being banned in the republic it is tolerated on worlds associated with it but that are too distant for the core to bother to enforce their own laws there, like Tatooine. The Republic tacitly recognizes the Hutt and others Empires who support slavery even if it isn´t official or legal. So right there we have a big plot hole into Repblican legislation and law enforcement.

This means that on Tatooine is completely legal to own, blown up, buy or sell people as property and it´s a practice so widespread there are actual space pirates who dedicate themselves to capture and sell people for this same end, this was the case of Shmi Skywalker who was born a free person but who was captured and sold to Gardulla´s the Hutt and her Son, Anakin, who was born a slave.

But this isn´t the case inside the Republic, much less on Coruscant, at least in the bare bones of their laws, so what happened to the Clone Army? Why no one, not even the principled Senators like Padme, Bail Organa or Mon Mothma were calling them a slave army? I believe the problem comes from the fact the clones, just like the droids, are not fully recognized as individuals with rights acording to Republican laws, when a member of a respected organization like the Jedi Order, Master sifo Dias, can use Republic credits to buy an army for a war that didn´t even exist until Dooku created the Separatist faction and no one raises an eyebrow, it means the Republic recognizes their purchase as legal within the law, which means they aren not recognized as sentient beings and the Clone Army are not citizens of the Republic but a property bought by Republican Credits with the Jedi Order acting as an intermediary.

This is my pet peeve when it comes to the Jedi Order in the Prequels, because they are not being actively evil, they didn´t order or buy the clone army, all of this was part of Palpatine´s and Dooku´s plans but by accepting the clone army they legally became the owners of the Clone Troopers.

In this instance it doesn´t matter much if they like them or treat them well, I love the fact Anakin, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Plo Kloon have an awesome relationship with their troopers in general but the deeper issues stays the same, they are not recognized citizens of the republic by law and they are owned by the Republic and the Jedi Order, to give an example of this problem: Watto also liked Shmi and Anakin and actually asisted Shmi´s marriage with Cliegg Lars after he freed her in legends canon, that didn´t mean he didn´t have the legal right to blown both of them up if he thought it was neccesary as their slave owner and that´s exactly the same problem the Jedi have, they are legally the owners of the clone army.

My other pet peeve was that instead of talking about this very serious issue or making a formal investigation because this was looking too suspicious, the Jedi Council, including Obi-Wan and Yoda, were more concerned about them losing their place as peace keepers by becoming members of the Republican army than by becoming owners of hundreds of people from one day to another and I could actually think this was just a plot hole in Lucas narrative but the problem is that this is actually talked as an issue by the Clones in the Clone War series, even more, Lucas originally thought to skip the use of the chip and have the Clone Army voluntarily attack the Jedi in Order 66 because their loyalty was to the Republic not to the Jedi Order, which says a lot about issues between them.

So the Jedi didn´t just renounce their right to have a political voice inside the Senate, they also skip over or just plain never talked about their responsibility as owners of sentient beings, yes, this was part of Palpatine´s trap for them, they were done for the moment they accepted the army because they were left vulnerable to an attack like Order 66 but they were still an semi independent institution within the Republic who certainly had the means to discover the truth, they just choose to let it lie until they could win the war and that moment never came.

Now another interesting discussion is that some fans make a relation between the Clone Army being a slave army and the Jedi being obliterated by the Republican army and I think this take is forgetting the canon reason why Palpatine could legally give the Order 66.

The Jedi Order being attacked with Order 66 didn´t have anything to do with them being owners of the clone army but Order 66 was legal within the Republican law post clone wars, why? because they became virtual members of the army when they became generals, this means they were subject to the Republic as members of their army and once they attacked the Chancellor of the Republic they officially became a Rogue army that needed to be put under control. The Jedi were no longer seen as civilians or diplomats or a religious order but a rogue military that was a menace for the Republic, this was the reason most of the corrupted Senate supported this action and not even Padme´s and Bail´s group could stop this because it was a "legal action" within the Republican laws as they stood post Clone Wars. Consider that even the founders of the rebel alliance were doubtful about the Jedi´s support to tackle Palpatine´s political power beyond those they knew personally, like Obi-Wan or Anakin and that Master Windu didn´t even consider to contact trusted members of the Senate because he considered them too corrupt to truly tackle Palpatine, that´s how distant the Jedi Order had become from non- force sensitive people, even members of the senate.

So I agree with the sector of the fans that are of the oppinion the Jedi´s problem was that they didn´t involve themselves enough in politics and that was the main reason why Palpatine could take over their entire organization so easily once he had enough support of the Senate because yes, he was attacked by the Council of Jedi Masters and Yes it was because he was a Sith but also yes, that´s a coup d'etat which was ilegal and punished within Republican law and Master Windu felt there was no other option because yes, the Jedi didn´t involve themselves in politics and that made sure the Senate had virtual control over all of them even in the case of naming them rogue.

Now a curious thing that happens with laws is that they just won´t go away when they became part of the legislation until there´s a change in legislation and in the comics Darth Vader as the last member of the Jedi, member of the Sith Order and part of the military of the Empire is also subjected to the previous Jedi Order´s check and balances, anytime the Emperor considers he´s become rogue, he has the right to pursue him with all the power of the Empire and the army can be used to stop him including the stromtroopers even those who are loyal to Vader.

I think this is interesting because Vader has both the power of the second in command of the Empire, he´s the "Emperor´s voice" but also one of the most precarious positions within it´s power structure and I don´t think Palpatine did this just to be a dick to his apprentice, which he can be for shit and giggles but because Vader´s position allows him to be a serious contender for the throne if an admiral or grand moff ever considered to make an alliance with him, this way he assures himself his position as Emperor, Vader is virtually isolated from the admirals and stromtroopers even if Vader truly is loyal to the Emperor and the admirals/grand moffs/etc get the message that if the Emperor is ready to do this to Vader who´s almost fanatically loyal to Palpatine, to his second in command, his literal voice, who has access to all high levels meetings, "his favorite" then what hope do they have to try something like that? It´s better to keep being close to the Emperor and follow his rules.

Palpatine as Emperor is still playing the same politics and the only way to change this was by making legislation changes, which could be done in the Republic by a Jedi Order associated with the Senate and with the imperial Senate before the Emperor disolved it.

If Star Wars was a political thriller like the Cassian Andor and to a less extend the clone wars series it would be interesting to explore the story from this pov but given the narrative is looked more like a mythical story, most of those issues are hinted but not developed much beyond what serves the narrative.

I think it´s worth discussing those issues and what they said about the society pictured in the prequels because Lucas definitely didn´t write them as a perfect society that existed protected by the Jedi Order before the evil Emperor took over, this version is mostly Obi-Wan being romantic with the past he misses, Lucas very much added a lot of issues to explain how a society like the Republic, Jedi Order included, became a dictatorship and it doesn´t need to begin with a big bad evil wizard but mostly that same society ethical issues, especially those it refuses to recognize.

[FIC] To Be Free Once More (That's Worth Fighting For) ~ Star Wars: Prequels ~ Fox/Obi-Wan ~ Mature ~ Ch 3/15

Title: To Be Free Once More (That's Worth Fighting For) Fandom: Star Wars Prequel Era Author: Batsutousai Rating: Mature Warnings: Alternate Universe, Qui-Gon survives, Jedi Shadow!Obi-Wan, Jedi culture positive, Coruscant Guard deserve better, clone trooper dehumanisation, institutional abuse, discrimination, learning to trust, Jedi and clone trooper relationships, strangers to friends to lovers, idiots in love, trans/nonbinary/agender clone troopers, trans/nonbinary/agender Jedi, character deaths (Palpatine, some Corries, offscreen Jedi OCs; more detail in notes of relevant chapters) Summary: As a Jedi Shadow, Obi-Wan hadn't expected to have much to do with the clone troopers. Until, suddenly, he does.

CHAPTER THREE

Obi-Wan straightened and turned towards what was apparently another entrance hallway, when he felt Fox approaching, their Force-presence dimmed under the heavy weight of exhaustion and a sharp sting of pain.

The exhaustion was even more obvious when they didn't seem to notice Obi-Wan's presence, or the fact that all of the clones in the office had turned to look towards that hallway, clearly curious about what had caught his attention, instead continuing on their route to another hallway.

"Dear one," Obi-Wan heard himself call as he got up, his chest clenching with an uncomfortably familiar feeling to see someone he cared about struggling.

The commander glanced back, movements slow, and then they tripped.

Obi-Wan couldn't have said how he got around the three desks between them, but he managed to catch the commander before they could catch themself or, worse, fall and hurt themself even more.

"General?" Fox said, sounding uncertain, before raising their voice to ask, "Anyone else see a Jedi?"

"Yeah, vod," Thire supplied, voice sounding almost cheerful through their helmet's vocoder, even as wary concern filled the Force around them. "He came looking for you."

"Huh," the commander said, and then very carefully drew away from Obi-Wan's steadying grasp, standing straight, but wavering slightly. "What can I do–"

"Force's sake, Commander," Obi-Wan interrupted. "Sit down before you fall down."

Someone choked back a noise that could have been a giggle.

"Office," the commander said, and gingerly stepped around Obi-Wan and continued towards yet another dimly-lit hallway branching off the office.

Obi-Wan glanced towards Thire, who waved their hands in a 'go on' manner, then followed the commander down the new hallway, which actually had some doors along it. Fox tapped a code into the lock for one of the doors, then stepped inside when it opened.

Heir to the Empire: Chapter 3

"The door slid open, and with her usual catlike grace Mara Jade walked into the room. 'You didn't say what' -- her green eyes flicked to the elaborately set table -- 'this was all about,' she finished, her tone just noticeably different. The green eyes came back to him, cool and measuring."

THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED!!!

"The vornskr peered out from around the edge of the desk, its front paws gripping the carpet, its muzzle close to the floor as if on the hunt."

The concept of predators that evolved to hunt Force-users is in and of itself cool, but I just find the vornskrs' design in official art very appealing.

Also, I love that vornskrs are basically giant, Jedi-hunting space kitties.

"'Then there's your talent for starship piloting, your ability to give and accept orders' -- he smiled slightly, gesturing to the table -- "and your ability to adapt to to unusual and unexpected situations. All highly useful talents for a smuggler."

Or a covert operative.

"Karrde shrugged. 'My people hear stories and rumors; I take the pieces and put them together. Much the same way your own intelligence units operate, I imagine."

I hope Karrde becomes canon again. An information broker with a code of honor, something that doesn't occur often in Star Wars (see: Cid), and someone it pays to have on your side. Ahsoka Season Two provides the perfect opportunity to reintroduce him and Mara, and I really want Disney to take it.

"'You can't just pull them off their branches, not without killing them. An ysalamir in this stage is sessile -- its claws have elongated to the point where they've essentially grown directly into the core of the branch it inhabits.'"

I didn't remember the singular of ysalamiri from the first time I read this book. It's fun!

While not the wildest example of speculative biology I've seen, the ysalamiri's claws basically combining with the branch it lives on has always stuck with me. Maybe it's the fact that this was one of the science fiction books I deliberately sought out, maybe it's my love of Star Wars before any other sci-fi franchise, but I remembered this detail when I was neck-deep in other fandoms and hadn't interacted with any SW media in years.

"'Vader died on the Death Star,' Mara said. 'Along with the Emperor.'

'That's the story, certainly--'

'He died there," Mara cut him off, her voice suddenly sharp."

True for Vaderkin, in Legends and in Disney, but not true for Palpatine, also in Legends and in Disney.

"Someday, he promised himself silently, he was going to find a way to dig the details of her past out from under the cloak of secrecy she'd so carefully shrouded it with. To find out where she'd come from, and who and what she was.

And to learn exactly what it was Luke Skywalker had done to make her so desperately hate him."

This curiosity is probably what makes Karrde such a good information broker. He wants to know things.

Everyone's pointed out the irony of Mara's introductory chapter ending with a line about her hating Luke when we all know that they ended up together.

The Will of the Force - CH 19

Fandom: Star Wars Rating: Mature Pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker, Obikin AO3 Masterlist

Summary: What if Obi-wan hadn’t been granted permission to train Anakin in the ways of the Force? What if Qui-Gon hadn’t perished during the battle with Darth Maul? How differently would things have turned out?

*** MY WORK IS NOT TO BE POSTED ON ANY OTHER SITE WITHOUT MY EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION. THOUGH REBLOGS AND COMMENTS ARE SUPER LOVED AND APPRECIATED! THANKS FAM!***

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 19

Anakin dropped to his knees beside Obi-Wan. He still hadn't moved, his eyes were closed, and Anakin couldn't even tell if he was breathing. He lifted his head into his lap with one hand and rested his other hand on his cheek. “Obi-Wan…” He breathed, “Obi-Wan, please wake up.”

Obi-Wan rolled his head in Anakin's lap and groaned, “Anakin…?”

“Obi-Wan!” Anakin smiled, so relieved that Obi-Wan was alive that he could feel the tears instantly welling in his eyes. “I thought I'd lost you, I thought… Palpatine told me you died at the Villa.”

“I’m here, I’m-Im okay,” he answered, his voice raspy and haggard.

“I was so worried about you,” Anakin said, and realized Obi-Wan still had his eyes clamped shut, which worried him even more, “Obi-Wan, open your eyes and look at me, I need you to open your eyes.”

“I can’t.”

“Yes, you can, you have to,” he pleaded, rubbing his thumb soothingly over his cheek, “I need you to open your eyes and stay awake.”

“I can’t, Anakin, I… I failed,” he said as he choked back a sob, still refusing to open his eyes, “I let the dark side in, I let it slip through my cracks because I wanted so badly to save you. I was so angry that you had been taken from me, that my worst nightmare had come true, and I was worried that I would find you…” Obi-Wan shook his head in Anakin's lap, not even able to say those words aloud. “I failed you, I failed Qui-Gon, I almost let it consume me and… my eyes have changed, I can feel it, they show my failure.”

“You didn't fail,” Anakin said, “you defeated Maul, you helped bring down Palpatine, you saved me and you won your fight against the dark side. Not many can face the darkness and still come back to the light, but you did, Obi-Wan.”

“Once you see my eyes… you won't look at me the same, you won’t love me-”

“Stop,” he cut him off, leaning closer to him, “there is nothing that would ever make me stop loving you. Open your eyes.”

Obi-Wan hesitated, but slowly he opened his eyes. He looked up at Anakin, who was just staring down at him. He couldn't tell what he was thinking, and the silence between them was too much to bear for Obi-Wan, so he quickly turned his head away from Anakin. He was sure his fear had come true, Anakin had seen the change in him, seen it in his eyes and he didn't like the reminder that Obi-Wan had fallen, even if it was only for a moment. It was still there in his eyes, plain as day for everyone to see. He was sure Anakin hated him, and honestly he couldn't blame him.

The change was there, just as Obi-Wan had said it would be. His left eye showed the change, now mixed with half his normal blue colour and half the Sith yellow. But it didn't scare Anakin, it didn't change his feelings or deter him in any way. So he tilted Obi-Wan’s face back to look at him, and smiled down at the love of his life. “I don't see failure, Obi-Wan, all I see is your victory. You won, the dark side could not claim you, and this,” he said as he ran his thumb lightly under his left eye, “is proof of your strength.”

“But it almost did, Anakin, it almost had me, but…” He lifted his own hand, still shaky from the electricity that had been forced through his body, and gripped Anakin's forearm as tightly as he could manage. “The only thing that stopped me from falling completely was you, your voice was what saved me, I heard you calling to me and I knew I had to come back to you.”

“It would seem we saved each other then,” he laughed lightly, “we need each other, Obi-Wan.”

“Anakin,” he started, taking a deep shaky breath, “the yellow in my eyes, it will never go away, every time you look at me you will see the dark side-”

“And it doesn't change anything, Obi-Wan, not a single thing about the way I feel about you. Nothing will. Not your eyes, not what happened, I will never not love you.” He moved his thumb to catch a falling tear. “I love you, Obi-Wan Kenobi, now and always, no matter what.”

Obi-Wan couldn't help but let a few more tears fall. How could he be so lucky to have found a love as strong as he had with Anakin? But he did know one thing for sure, now that he had it he was never letting Anakin out of his sight again. “And I love you too, dear one.”

Anakin smiled down at him, then leaned the rest of the way to plant a soft kiss on his lips, lingering close for a moment before Qui-Gon walked up behind them and made himself known. “Anakin, I'm sorry to interrupt but we should get Obi-Wan back to the ship so the medical droids can check him.”

Anakin nodded, rubbing his nose against Obi-Wan’s, then sat back up.

“Can you walk, Obi-Wan?” Qui-Gon asked, the concern for his Padawan clear on his face.

“I'm sure I can manage-” The second he tried to push up to stand, his still wobbly legs gave out and he fell back into Anakin's arms with a grunt. “I’m fine, I'm fine, just a bit shaken still.”

“I've got you, Obi-Wan,” Anakin said, and before he could so much as protest, Anakin had scooped him up in his arms and was walking out of the room with Qui-Gon at his side.

“Anakin!” He shouted, “This is hardly necessary. I just need a moment or two and I will be fine to walk on my own.”

Anakin just smirked and looked over at him. “Don't even try to argue, Obi-Wan, you know you won't win.”

Obi-Wan huffed, “Now that I do know to be true. But I was the one who was supposed to be saving you.”

“And you did,” he nodded, “now it's my turn. And afterall, you are an old man, it is my duty to help you.”

Qui-Gon actually chuckled beside them. “Just you wait until I'm back to full strength, you'll pay for this.”

Anakin leaned in to whisper to Obi-Wan, but still made sure it was loud enough for Qui-Gon to hear, “Are you going to spank me, Obi-Wan?”

Obi-Wan balked, his embarrassment growing tenfold when Qui-Gon’s chuckle turned into a full blown laugh as he picked up his pace and walked farther ahead of them.

“Anakin! I can't believe you! In front of my Master!?”

Anakin just laughed and kissed the top of Obi-Wan’s head as they finally stepped out of the Sith Citadel.

~~~~~~~~~~~

When they stepped onto the ship, the two men who Anakin had watched arrest Palpatine were waiting for them with a stretcher for Obi-Wan.

“Oh, this is completely unnecessary, I am perfectly alright,” he argued, trying to refuse, but Anakin placed him gently on the stretcher anyway.

“Obi-Wan, please let them check you out,” Anakin begged, flashing those puppy dog eyes he knew Obi-Wan just couldn't resist, “I need to know you really are okay.”

“Fine,” he gave in, and Anakin didn't even bother to hide his victory smirk, “but only if you also promise to let the medical droid look at you as well, for my sanity.”

“Deal,” Anakin smiled and leaned down to kiss him quickly.

“Sir,” Cody said from his other side, and Obi-Wan turned to look at him, seeing Rex hovering close behind, “we were worried about you, but were glad to see that you're alright.”

“Thank you,” then he turned back to Anakin, “these are two very close friends of mine, Anakin, we've all fought together. This is Commander Cody and Commander Rex.”

“Nice to meet you, your highness,” they both said.

“Please, just call me Anakin,” he waved to them both, “and make sure Obi-Wan does all the tests he needs to do, don't let him try and talk you out of anything.”

“Will do.” They saluted and then took Obi-Wan into the depths of the ship with Anakin and Qui-Gon trailing behind them. Though they didn't get far before Anakin was practically tackled by Padmé, who as soon as she saw him entering the ship, took off at a run through the halls.

“Anakin! I'm so glad you're safe,” she said, then pulled back enough to grab his face in both hands, “I was so worried about you. Are you alright? Are you hurt? Do you need anything?”

Anakin laughed, but he was glad to finally be able to see her again. “I'm fine, Padmé. I missed you.”

“I missed you too,” she smiled at him, just glad to finally have him back with no threats looming over them anymore.

He returned her smile, then his eyes travelled past her to look around the hall, and confusion flashed in his eyes. “Where is Gregar? I thought he would have accompanied you here, he's usually not too far behind you.”

“Anakin,” she said in her most soothing voice, taking his face in her hands again, “Anakin, Gregar died on Coruscant.”

“What…?” He panted, shaking his head.

“He was captured by the Sith Lords and they tortured him to try and get your location. And if it wasn't for Gregar then we never would have known that Palpatine was involved, or that Maul was on his way to Naboo. He fought hard and lived long enough to warn us, without him we surely would have failed.”

Anakin looked down between them, taking a moment to mourn the loss of a dear, dear friend, and he let the tears fall freely. Gregar had always been a major part of his life, he had helped Padmé raise him right from the very day he was brought to Naboo by Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. He loved him like family, and he would be very missed in their lives.

“When we get back,” he sniffed, looking back up to Padmé, “we must honour him properly. He deserves a funeral fit for that of a member of royalty. All of Naboo shall pay their respects to the Galaxy's hero.”

“I agree with you, and we shall do just that,” she said and patted his chest, “he will be honoured as he so deserves.”

Anakin nodded and wiped the tears from his cheeks, and though he craved to sit and talk to her, tell her everything that had happened and hear her side in return, his eyes moved past her face to land on Obi-Wan. He just wanted to be with him right now, to even just be close, after everything that had happened he didn't want to be too far. But he also didn't want to brush Padmé aside so abruptly.

But Padmé saw the shift in his demeanor and followed his gaze past her and over to Obi-Wan, then she looked back at him and smiled. “Go on,” she said, pulling away from him and moving to the side, “I'm sure he won't want to be too far away from you either.”

“Are… are you sure?”

She nodded and tilted her head down the hall, “Go, we can talk about everything else later, go get your Jedi.”

He didn't say anything more, just smiled at her and took off running down the hall to catch up.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Once Obi-Wan was situated in one of the rooms in the ship's medbay, with Cody by his side while the medical droid got started, Anakin left to give them some space. He walked out of the room and around the corner to join Qui-Gon where he was watching his Padawan through the viewing window, arms crossed over his chest.

“How is he feeling?” He asked Anakin without moving his eyes from Obi-Wan.

“I think he'll be alright, thankfully, though I was worried when I saw him lying there like that. I thought…”

“I know, I was scared too. But I am very confident when I say I do think you're stuck with him.” He turned and smiled at Anakin. “When you were taken by Maul, the only thing that was on his mind was saving you, and I don't think he's ever going to let you out of his sight again.”

“I think you're right,” he said, looking over to the window to see Obi-Wan’s head turned, staring at him, “I can feel that he's exhausted but he won’t sleep, like he's afraid that if he does I'm going to disappear.”

“Has your bond returned then?”

Anakin nodded. “When we left the planet's atmosphere it started to come back, and the further away we get the stronger it is. It's almost back to its full strength.” Qui-Gon said nothing, and Anakin waited a moment, almost hesitant to say it but he decided to anyway. “He's worried that he's disappointed you. I can feel it through the bond.”

Qui-Gon turned to him, still saying nothing.

“You saw his eyes.” Anakin knew he had, the stark yellow against the soft blue of Obi-Wan’s natural eye colour was hard to miss.

“I did,” Qui-Gon sighed, and turned back to look at his Padawan through the window, “but Obi-Wan has nothing to worry about. As soon as we stepped foot in that Citadel and I felt the strength of the dark side there, I knew what was going to happen. He was determined to rescue you and have you back in his arms, nothing was going to get in his way, even if it meant taking in the dark side to do it. But Obi-Wan is strong, stronger even than I think he thought he was, and with you by his side I believe the two of you could defeat anything, even the dark side of the Force. What happened in the Citadel doesn't matter, what does matter is that Obi-Wan is here with us, both of you are alive and well, and there is no darkness left within him. He fought it and in the end came out victorious. I am not disappointed in Obi-Wan, in fact I have never been more proud.”

Anakin smiled at the older Jedi then turned back to watch Obi-Wan. He knew Qui-Gon would have no ill feelings toward Obi-Wan, he loved him like a son and would stand by him no matter what. He was a good man, and a great father. Obi-Wan was lucky to have him.

“Do… do you know what happened to me, back in the Citadel?” Anakin chanced asking, hoping that Qui-Gon would be willing to help him as much as he always was to help Obi-Wan. “I know you saw everything, I felt it when you entered the room. I was consumed by something, but it wasn't the dark side. I had complete control over it but I was so… strong. I've never felt like that before.”

“I felt your strength,” he nodded, “it was powerful, more powerful than anything I have ever felt. I was able to grab a hold of it through the Force and use it to keep the darkness surrounding me at bay, so that I could return to normal and get to you and Obi-Wan.”

“But what was it? And how did I end up like that?”

“It is clear that there is still much I need to learn in the ways of the Force, and I cannot even begin to fully comprehend what you experienced within that Citadel,” he began, turning to Anakin, “But what I do believe is that you saw Obi-Wan, the man you love very much, about to die right before your eyes. Your instincts kicked in and, just as Obi-Wan was for you, you were willing to do anything you had to, to save him. But your connection to the Force, even as untrained as you are, is a strong one. And so instead of taking in the dark side to save Obi-Wan, the Force allowed you to use its full strength. Anakin, I believe that you were a physical embodiment of the Force.”

“I… so I was the Force?!” He asked, unbelieving of it.

“Yes, I believe so,” he nodded, “the Force has connected with you in ways that even the Jedi have never come to know or unlock. It felt your pain in a time of need and gave you everything it had, so that you could save the other half that makes you whole. And once you and Obi-Wan were safe, the Force let you go, though your connection to it now is even stronger than it ever was before.”

“Do you think it will happen again?”

Qui-Gon sighed. As much as he wished he could quell all of Anakin's worries, he just didn't have the answers he was looking for. “I am not sure. I don't think even Master Yoda would have an answer for you. But do not be frightened of it, the Force will never steer you wrong or take advantage of you like the dark side would. And with Obi-Wan by your side from now on, it will not go unnoticed if something does awaken within you. It is something that will have to be monitored, something that I know Obi-Wan will be willing to do, as well as perhaps train you so that you can learn some control. And I will keep an eye on it as well. Do not worry, Anakin, you are well taken care of.”

“You're right, and thank you, I appreciate all of it.” Both of them gave each other a small nod, then Anakin turned his attention back to his Jedi, still watching him through the window.

~~~~~~~~~~~

“He’s not going anywhere, Obi-Wan.” Cody said, and Obi-Wan actually managed to tear his eyes away from the window long enough to look up at his friend. “Just relax, everything looks fine so far, you'll be able to see him soon.”

“I'm honestly fine, Cody. I just want to get out of this bed.”

“I'm sure you do,” he nodded but his eyes remained on the work the medical droid was doing, “but you really do need to relax. You just fought two Sith Lords, one of which really kicked your ass, some rest would do you good, my friend. And Anakin told me to make sure you did all your tests and didn't try to duck out of any of them, and I do not want to risk the lashing I know I would get from the Prince if I let you out of this room right now.”

Obi-Wan just sighed and plopped his head back down against the pillow. Cody was right, Anakin would not let him weasel his way out of this, better to just get it over with.

“Obi-Wan, I know you want to get on the other side of that window and be with Anakin, and I know you hate these tests, but once we know everything is okay everyone will have peace of mind and you can love that Prince for the rest of your life,” Cody said and made Obi-Wan blush a bit, “but if you close your eyes and rest for a while, he's not going to disappear. In fact, I'd be willing to wager that if you did, when you woke up he would be sitting right beside you waiting. The fight’s over, my friend, there is nothing left to worry about. So please, let yourself relax and heal.”

Obi-Wan just nodded, hoping it would appease Cody enough, then he turned his attention back to Anakin through the window. He was talking with Qui-Gon, though he couldn't tell what about, but then suddenly Anakin was sending him love and reassurance through the bond as he also turned to stare back at Obi-Wan.

‘It’s okay, Obi-Wan,’ Anakin said to him across the bond, and he was flooded with a calming feeling, ‘rest, and I will be right here when you wake up. Rest.’

It didn't take more than a few seconds for Obi-Wan to fall prey to the feeling and close his eyes, and the last thing he saw as he fell asleep was Anakin.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Anakin had been keeping watch over Obi-Wan while he slept, and much to Anakin's pleasure he had been sleeping for hours. He was sure it was going to take a miracle to get his Jedi to actually allow himself to sleep, as it meant that Anakin would be out of his sight while he did. He was even getting ready to tell Cody to sedate him if need be. But thankfully Obi-Wan had been so exhausted, that after a few reassuring words from Anakin across their bond, he had fallen asleep halfway through his tests.

But he was starting to stir now, and Anakin could feel him starting to slowly float back to consciousness. So he leaned forward in the chair he was sitting in beside the bed and took his hand.

When he finally opened his eyes and saw Anakin was still there beside him, as promised, he smiled sleepily up at him and squeezed his hand. “Hello there.”

“Hello there,” Anakin repeated and smiled, lifting Obi-Wan’s hand to his cheek and leaning into it, “do you feel better?”

“I do,” he answered, lifting himself up a bit, “and how are you? Did you get checked out?”

“I did, don't worry, and everything is fine. We're both fine.”

Obi-Wan eyed him skeptically for a moment, his eyes landing on the still nasty, but now clean looking cut over his eye. “You're sure you got checked, and they did all the tests on you? I will ask Cody so you better tell me the truth.”

Anakin just laughed at him, always the worried Jedi. “I promise. Cody had the droid run every test on me that they ran on you. Everything is fine.”

“Thank the Force,” Obi-Wan sighed and laid his head back against the pillow again, rubbing the thumb of his hand on Anakin's cheek back and forth, “I have never been so worried in all my life. I thought I was never going to get you back, and when the bond went dark… I feared the worst.”

“I know,” Anakin whispered, leaning further into Obi-Wan’s hand, “I did too. Palpatine told me Maul had killed you at the Villa when I was taken, and after I saw that you were actually still alive I had to watch while Palpatine almost did kill you, and I…”

Anakin shook his head and Obi-Wan could tell he was trying to fight back tears, as he was doing the same. “Hush, dear one. Maul is dead and Palpatine will face justice. Neither of them will ever be able to hurt you again.”

“I don't want to talk about them anymore,” Anakin said, clutching tighter to Obi-Wan’s hand, “I'm just so glad this is over and we don't have to worry about them ever again.”

“As am I, my darling.”

“Did…” Anakin started, having to take a second to control his breathing. “You know about Gregar, I assume?”

“Yes, dear one, I know.”

Anakin nodded, then said, “I told Padmé that when we get back to Naboo, I want him to be honoured properly, and I want all of Naboo to be a part of it. It's the least he deserves for everything he did.”

“You are right, Anakin.” Obi-Wan sat up a bit more, pulling Anakin's face down to be closer to his. “And I will be right there beside you through all of it. Gregar died trying to protect you, I owe him everything for that.”

“Thank you, Obi-Wan, I wouldn't be able to get through it without you.”

“I would be nowhere else, Anakin.”

“Obi-Wan, there's something else I have to tell you.” Obi-Wan waited patiently, staring up at Anakin while he took a breath before continuing. “When we were in the Citadel, and Palpatine was about to kill you… it wasnt Master Qui-Gon who saved us.”

“Who was it then? One of the Clones, Cody or Rex?”

“No, I… it was me.”

Obi-Wan took a second to think back on what he could remember before passing out, then shook his head. “But, Anakin, that makes no sense. You were being held by energy bonds, and how could you have defeated a Sith Lord?”

“I'm not sure how it happened,” he answered, looking down at where his hands were now fiddling with Obi-Wan’s fingers idly, “but when I saw you about to die something took over me, a light, and I was overcome with this insane strength I have never felt before. I was able to break out of the bonds, and I was somehow strong enough to get Palpatine away from you and hold him back long enough for Master Qui-Gon and the Clones to arrest him. Then just as quickly as it had come, the power was gone and I was back to normal.”

“Anakin,” Obi-Wan soothed, placing his free hand back on Anakin’s cheek, “my darling, did you speak to Qui-Gon about this?”

“I did. He said he really doesn't have a definitive answer, but he thinks I was a physical embodiment of the Force. He thinks that because my connection to the Force is so strong, it felt my fear over losing you and it helped me to save you.”

Obi-Wan’s eyes were blown wide and he jolted upwards. “I… what does this mean? Are you alright? Will it happen again? Is this something I should worry about?”

“Calm down, Obi-Wan, you're supposed to be resting not fussing,” he said as he forced him to lay back again, “I asked Master Qui-Gon all the same questions, but he doesn't know for sure, he said this has never happened before. All he said was that I should trust in the Force, and that you would both make sure nothing bad happened to me.”

“And I will do exactly that. Whatever it was that took you over, if it was the Force lending you its strength, I will make sure you are never in the position to ever have to go through that again. I am so sorry I wasn't strong enough to save you and that you had to go through that, you must have been terrfied.”

“It's not your fault,” he shook his head, looking up at him again and smiling, “I would do it again if I had to. And it wasn't a bad feeling, it was just strange, I've never felt anything like that before.”

“Well I promise you won't have to again. I am never leaving your side from now on and I will do everything to make sure you are always safe.”

“I know you will,” Anakin breathed, looking down at his Jedi with all the love he could muster in his eyes, and of course he got the same look in return.

The two of them just sat there for a while, staring at each other, sending every ounce of love across the bond that they could. Then Anakin suddenly blurted out the words that he'd wanted to say since the night Obi-Wan finally surrendered to his feelings, and coupled with everything that had happened over the last few days he didn't want to wait any longer to say them. “Marry me.”

“What?” Obi-Wan sat up again, though he was smiling widely at Anakin.

“Marry me,” he repeated, “I won't risk losing you like that again, and I never want to be parted from you for another single second of my life. And with Gregar’s death… it's just further proof that life is far too short to leave anything unsaid or to hold any regrets, and I don't want to wait any longer to start our futures together. So, marry me. Once we get back to Naboo and make the arrangements for Gregar and he is properly laid to rest, then we will announce our engagement and get married as soon as we can. If… if that's what you want, I mean if it's not-”

“Anakin, Anakin,” Obi-Wan chuckled, pulling him in even closer and smiling against his lips, “you've beaten me to the punch, I was planning on proposing when we got settled on Naboo.”

Anakin laughed, closed his eyes and whispered, “You're too slow, old man.”

Obi-Wan huffed, “I think we have well established that slow is something I am definitely not.”

“Obi-Wan!” Anakin gawked at his Jedi. “You've become quite bold, haven't you.”

He couldn't help but giggle as Anakin used his own words against him, words he'd said to him during one of their first days together at the Villa, so he repeated Anakin's back to him in turn, “If it gets me what I want.”

Anakin smiled and shook his head. “So, does that mean you'll marry me, Obi-Wan?”

“Of course I will, my love, I want nothing more than to marry you.” And he leaned in the rest of the way and kissed Anakin with everything he had, and Anakin gave it back just as fiercely.

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Just take it easy, Obi-Wan, lean on me if you have to.”

They were slowly making their way through the halls of the ship, despite Anakin's protests that it was far too soon for Obi-Wan to already be walking around. Obi-Wan was still weak and needed more rest, but he had insisted on getting up after grumbling endlessly about hating being stuck in bed, so they were currently heading for the cockpit. But Anakin could both see and sense Obi-Wan’s exhaustion, so he made sure he hovered close with his arms ready to catch him, just in case.

Eventually they made it to their destination and Anakin opened the door for them. Qui-Gon, Cody, Rex, and Padmé were all there, and Padmé looked up and smiled when she saw them come in. “Well, look who's up and about.”

“At a much slower pace than usual, but I could not lay about in that bed any longer,” Obi-Wan said, smiling back at her. Then he took Anakin's offered hand and let him help him down into the chair next to Qui-Gon.

“And how are you feeling, my Padawan?”

“Better,” he nodded, pulling a protesting Anakin down to share the chair with him, but again Obi-Wan insisted, “I will still need some time to rest, but I am slowly regaining my strength. Have you been in contact with the Council since we left the Sith planet?”

“I contacted Master Windu. I let him know we had rescued the Prince successfully and that we were returning with Palpatine in custody,” he answered, eyeing his Padawan and noticing his worried look, “but that is all I have told them so far, Obi-Wan. The rest can wait until you are well enough.”

Obi-Wan nodded, he knew Qui-Gon wouldn't have just thrown him under the bus in regards to the Council, but even the thought of having to tell them about everything that had happened during the mission worried him. He knew they would not be pleased.

“I also have some news to share, since everyone is here right now!” Padmé said, trying to diffuse the tension she could feel growing. “I received the news while Qui-Gon was in contact with the Jedi Council.”

“What is it?” Anakin asked, turning where he was perched on the arm of Obi-Wan’s chair to face her, a little nervous that it could be more bad news.

“I have been elected the new Chancellor of the Senate!”

“That's wonderful news, Padmé!” Anakin beamed at her, standing to hug her tightly.

“Chancellor Amidala,” Obi-Wan hummed in thought as he rubbed a hand over his beard, “I must say it does have a nice ring to it. I am confident that you will be a fine Chancellor.”

“But wait,” Anakin said, pulling back to hold her at arm's length, eyeing her with a furrowed brow, “being both the Chancellor and the Queen of Naboo will be tough, and we both know that sometimes one can be hard enough as it is. So I want you to know that whenever you need help, I will always be there for whatever you may need.”

“Well, that's the other thing,” she started, though her smile faded slightly and a more anxious look took over her features, “I've actually been thinking about this for a while now, and I had planned on speaking with you on the matter before, but then we were forced to split up and I never got the chance. And I'm sorry to be springing this on you so suddenly after everything you've just been through, but Anakin, I want you to take your rightful place on the throne. It's time.”

Anakin stared back at her with wide eyes. He had known this was coming, of course it was, it was the one thing he had been training to do for most of his life. The second he had come into Padmé's care he started learning all that it meant to be a prince, and eventually the king of Naboo, yet still he found himself speechless and suddenly unsure.

“Congratulations, Anakin!” Obi-Wan said, beaming up at him from his chair, “You're going to be king, this is fantastic news.”

“I…” He shook his head, he wasn't sure he would ever get used to the idea of anyone calling him king, especially not Obi-Wan. “Are you sure I'm ready? I feel like I still have so much to learn from you. I… I don't know if it's time, what if I can't do it, what if I'm a terrible King-”

“Anakin, calm down.” Padmé reached forward and soothed her hands down his arms. “You are ready, I know you are. You are going to be the greatest ruler Naboo has ever known.”

“I don't know about that,” he smiled, slowly starting to relax and breathe properly again, “filling your shoes is going to be a very difficult job. Naboo has been very lucky to have you all these years, I'm sure they will be saddened to lose you.”

“But then happy again to gain you in my place. The people love you, Anakin, I have no doubt in my mind that you will be a better King than I ever was as a Queen.” He smiled at her kind words, though he still wasn't sure he would be able to ever live up to her. “After we get everything sorted on Coruscant and back home on Naboo, I want to hold your coronation ceremony. Please accept the position, Anakin, it's where you belong.”

Anakin nodded, taking one step back to mull it all over. Padmé was right, in a way at least. The throne of Naboo was his right as Padmé's legal heir, but was it really where he belonged? Of course Anakin already knew the answer to that question, he knew exactly where he belonged, in which case there was only one way he would accept the throne, otherwise he would gladly leave Naboo and give it up.

“I will accept, but on one condition,” he said and stepped further back. His eyes never left Padmés, and they were clear and focused as he kept her gaze, determined and ready to stand his ground if she in any way tried to refuse. Then he reached down and took Obi-Wan’s hand in his, before continuing, “I will only be crowned and take the throne after Obi-Wan and I are married. I want him to be coronated with me, as the Kings of Naboo. I won't be King if I can't have Obi-Wan by my side.”

Padmé was stunned, and Anakin was even a little worried that she had stopped breathing. She was just gaping at him, her eyes darting quickly between the anxious couple awaiting her response, and the nonchalant Qui-Gon who had clearly seen this coming, but she still hadn't said a word. Now Anakin was worried she didn't approve and the wait was killing him.

“Padmé, please say something,” he practically begged.

“You're…” She looked between them both one last time. “You're getting married?!”

Both Obi-Wan and Anakin nodded, but before they could do much more, she had lunged at them and managed to grab them both in a hug. “This is amazing! Congratulations! And of course you both have my blessing on the wedding and Obi-Wan being crowned, and as soon as we get everything else sorted we will start with the arrangements for both the wedding and the coronation ceremony!”

“Thank you, Padmé, your blessing means a lot to both Anakin and I,” Obi-Wan answered as Anakin was still seeming to be coming down from the anxiety pumping through his body, “but, Master…”

He turned back to Qui-Gon who had remained silent the entire time, and still was. His expression was stoic, as always, and Obi-Wan just couldn't decipher it. He was going to marry Anakin no matter what, his mind was completely and irrevocably made up on that matter, but it would haunt him forever if he didn't have the blessing of his Master as well.

“Is this what you want? Both of you?”

“Absolutely,” Obi-Wan said.

“And you are happy,” he said, more a statement than a question.

“More than I have ever been, Master.”

Qui-Gon nodded, a small smile creeping across his face. “Good. As long as you are happy, Obi-Wan, I will always be by your side. And if leaving the Order to marry and be with Anakin is what you want, then I support you. You have my blessing.”

“Thank you, Master.” Obi-Wan could barely contain himself, his Master’s blessing meant everything to him. Qui-Gon was like a father to him, and to have him always on his side was more than he could ever express in words.

He tried to stand to get to his Master, to hug him and try as best as he could to convey his gratitude, but both Anakin and Qui-Gon placed hands on his shoulders and kept him in the chair. “Obi-Wan, you have worn yourself out enough for today. You focus on getting better and I will take care of the rest. And once we land on Coruscant, I will inform the Council of your leave, you just be with Anakin and let me handle everything else from there.”

He didn't say anything, didn't try to stand again. His Master never ceased to amaze him, he always knew exactly what Obi-Wan needed to hear. Obi-Wan was sure that no matter how hard he tried he would never be able to ever repay him for everything he had ever done for him, and would surely continue to do for the rest of his life.

A/N: I hope everyone enjoyed the newest chapter! We are getting down to the end here, but there is still so much more good stuff to come <3

Hello and a very, very happy birthday to you!!! I hope it has been a joyful and restful one.

I hope this isn't too presumptuous of me, but I wrote a wee snippet of a Codywan X-Files AU, in the hopes that it might bring a little warmth to your day. There's no need at all to respond to it or to post it publicly: please feel free to do with it what you wish! Thank you so much for all the creativity and generosity and beauty you bring to the fandom. I hope your birthday brings all that good energy back to you many times over.

....

“Working on that report for Windu?” Cody asked.

The question was, of course, rhetorical, given that Kenobi was currently slumped over his desk, dozing with his forehead resting on one elbow and the handle of a mug still gripped with improbable firmness in the other hand.

Kenobi’s head sprang up the moment he heard his partner’s voice, his face settling into an expression of alertness that was only partially marred by the faint indents that his wool sweater had left stretching across one temple.

Cody emphatically did not find it adorable.

“Ah, hello, Cody,” Kenobi greeted him. “I was just finishing up.”

“You should go home,” Cody replied. “Or better yet, you should go to the hospital. I’ll drive.”

“It was very minor electrocution,” Kenobi assured him, for what was at least the fourth time since Cody had broken down the door to the warehouse and watched his partner disappear into a haze of blue light before dropping, limp, to the ground. “The EMTs looked me over at the site.”

And Cody knew that was true, but still, he couldn’t stop remembering what Kenobi had looked like when Cody had rushed over, how horribly still he’d been when Cody had first pulled his head into his lap.

Cody hadn’t experienced adrenaline like that - the cold sweat on his forehead and the bitter tang of metal at the back of his mouth - since his last deployment. Since the mission that had ended with a Purple Heart and an honorable discharge.

“I was assigned to the X-Files to watch out for you,” Cody explained.

“In point of fact, Cody,” Kenobi observed with a wry smile. “I believe you were assigned to the X-Files to watch me.”

Cody set his jaw, shifting his weight slightly as he clasped his hands behind his back.

“I’ve reinterpreted the parameters,” he said.

Kenobi paused, his smile softening.

“Indeed you have.”

He searched Cody’s face for a moment longer before looking over at his computer with a sigh.

“A compromise,” Cody proposed, sensing an opening, “I’ll drive us to Dex’s, and we can finish the report together over -” He glanced down at his watch. “- what’s either a very late dinner or a disturbingly early breakfast.”

“Did you put the hospital on the table so you could talk me down to waffle fries?” Kenobi asked, cocking one eyebrow. But he was already shutting off his monitor, and Cody felt some of the tension bleed out of his shoulders.

“Well, I'm not the one they called ‘the Negotiator’ at the academy,” Cody allowed, “but I’m a quick study.”

With the right motivation, he added to himself, reaching out to hold the collar of Kenobi’s jacket as Kenobi tried to slip into it while juggling several file folders and a half-empty mug of tea.

“Shall we?” Kenobi asked brightly, and Cody’s fingers absolutely did not feel warm in the places where they’d brushed the back of his neck.

“After you,” he replied.

OMG OMG OMGGGGGG

This is! So good! I am so delighted and just bouncing with joy! They're running the X-Files! Cody is there is watch (over) him! Does this mean Anakin was abducted as a child? Is Palpatine the Cigarette Smoking Man? I am---- TWO THINGS I LOVE ALL MIXED TOGETHER THIS IS AMAZING!

#X-files au #Codywan #Glimmer replies #Ask me anything #THIS! IS! SO! COOL!#THANK YOU SO MUCH

popping in with the clone wars for the character ask thing!!

Oooo Tori excellent fandom choice! Thanks for sending the ask! I had a lot of fun doing this and probably put too much thought into it lmao

1, bake cupcakes for: Cody. Being the voice of reason all the time would be exhausting, he needs some cupcakes.

2, trust with the keys to my car: Bail Organa and LITERALLY nobody else. Cody gets an honorable mention, but I think he'd be dragged into using my car for something that would totally destroy it by other people, so...

3, put thumbtacks on the chair of: Palpatine, I think that would actually be so funny. He thinks he's this untouchable, refined mastermind pulling the strings of global politics and then he just SHOOTS out of his chair because there's tacks on it lol.

4, have a crush on: Obi-Wan, like the rest of the galaxy

5, pack up and leave if they moved next door: Honda Ohnaka. He is one of my favorite characters of all time, but I really don't think I could survive living next to him.

6, vote for President: Padmé. Absolute queen (literally lol) and defender of democracy, I love her.

7, pick as my partner in a buddy movie: Honestly, R2. There are a lot of good candidates for a buddy movie partner in this fandom, but I just think it'd be awesome running around kicking ass and being besties with R2. Imagine the chaos 🙌

8, pair up: Assuming this means like for a mission or a story arc together, Ashoka and Yoda. I might be wrong but I don't think they had one in the Clone Wars, but I think it would be an opportunity for Yoda's bad grandpa energy to really shine in a way that's good for him and Ashoka, and I'd love to see it.

9, vote off the island and into the volcano: General Krell, who I would personally throw into the volcano. I'm pretty sure he's literally only in that one episode, but I'm still not over my beef and never will be. Fuck that guy.

10, wheedle into fixing my MP3 player: Anakin. He built C3PO so I have faith he could do it and probably make it better than it was in the first place.

His Legacy (Obi-Wan Kenobi x Jedi!Reader) | Part 3

fandom: STAR WARS

pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi x Jedi!Reader

type: series (>part 2)

genre: angst/fluff

word count: 980ish

warnings: none really, minor mentions of death

plot info: You are a Jedi Knight in the order and fight during the clone wars for the cause of the republic. The story is set after Obi-Wan’s alleged death through the hand of the bounty hunter Rako Hardeen. Obi-Wan and you joined the Jedi order together when you were only children and are consequently life long friends. However, like Anakin you are not informed about Obi-Wan’s faux death and under cover mission disguised as the bounty hunter Rako Hardeen in order not to endanger his endeavor. A month has gone by and you are still not over Obi-Wan’s death.

summary: Master Yoda has sent you on a mission on Naboo to protect the chancellor. Having stopped the bounty hunters from kidnapping Palpatine, you are now strolling through the palace when an ominous voice calls your name.

a/n: Finally, I have written the third part which means that you will get some awesome Kenobi content. I don’t know whether this is the final part or whether I’ll continue this story and write it into a proper love story. That depends on the reactions I’ll get. So please interact with the post.

masterlist

As the fireworks were illuminating Naboo's night, peace was filling your heart and flowing through every fiber of your being. Master Yoda had been right, the mission was exactly the right distraction that you had needed. You had stopped the bounty hunters from completing their assignment, you had protected the chancellor and you had prevented a kidnapping.

Now you were standing at the edge of an abandoned balcony gazing into the colour struck night. You knew that now Obi-Wan was watching you, guarding you and filling you with strength. Your wounds were still healing, but you knew that sooner or later you were able to live with your loss - you had to. Slowly, you were leaving the balcony and making your way down the corridor to the hangar, your cloak was gently dragging behind you wiping the floor. Acceptance was a burden hard to embrace, but nothing that you could not manage. You were strong, you were brave, you were a Jedi and it was finally time to move on.

"Y/n?" A coarse voice cut through the dark startling you.

"Who are you?" You answered suddenly sensing a queer yet familiar disturbance in the force.

"You know me." The voice echoed.

"Show yourself!" You turned around and noticed a shadow slowly approaching you. The bulky statue was indicating you that it was a man. When he stepped into the moon beam that was toiling through the window into the quaint corridor, you recognised a scar beaten face.

"You are Rako Hardeen, the bounty hunter. I was pursuing you when you killed Obi-Wan." You gasped. What was he doing here? Was he with the other bounty hunters? He was surly following Doku's orders, wasn't he?

"No, y/n. I am not who you think I am."

"Watch your words or you are a dead man." You spat into his face. Keep calm, y/n. Collect your thoughts. Don't freak out. Don't let hatred overcome yourself.

"Y/n. It is me. Obi-Wan."

"Liar. Obi-Wan is dead." Was he mad? He was the one who murdered Obi-Wan, what was he thinking.

"He is not, let me explain."

"I will have to arrest you, you are suspected of attempting to kidnap the chancellor. Follow me without resistance and you will get a fair trial." You urged through gritted teeth.

"Always the negotiator."

"Shut it."

"Y/n! Listen to me." That wasn’t the bounty hunter's voice, though. It was more gentle, caring, somehow soothing. It was the voice that you had heard a million times, that echoed in your head, that followed you in your dreams.

"Obi-Wan? How is this possible? You- how? You can't be here? Stop meddling with my brain!"

"Y/n, I am here. It is me."

"No. Even if it is. You are dead."

"It was all part of the plan."

"What plan, why was I not informed?"

"I wanted to protect you."

"Protect me? I don't believe you." This could not be real, your mind was surely tricking you. Slowly anxiety was creeping up inside of you. You were so close to moving on. You had thought you were stonger than this, but you were wrong. Immediately, you turned on your heels running away, rushing through the corridor, leaving the scene.

"Y/n!" you heard his voice hollowing through the darkness, but you did not look back. You were already headed to the hangar where you jumped into your Jedi fighter and left for Coruscant.

-Cut-

You were sitting in you quarters meditating when you heard someone knocking on your door.

"Come in." You called whilst opening the shutters using the force.

"Y/n." A sudden pain struck your heart and you turned facing the door where there stood erect a familiar figure dressed in the same soft Jedi robes that you had missed for so long. The same piercing blue eyes were staring at you checking wether you were alright. The only thing missing was Obi-Wan's copper hair and full beard. Instead a light stubble was growing on his bald head and cheeks.

"I came as soon as I could." He uttered his hands fiddling with the hem of his robes.

"Why?" You managed to stumble. "Why did you leave me without telling me. I- I thought you were- you were dead." Tears were filling you eyes and gradually rolling down your cheeks. You wiped your face trying to hide them looking down and staring at your feet.

"I couldn't tell you."

"Do you trust me this little?" You sobbed.

"It's not that, y/n. I couldn't tell you because I knew that when you and Anakin believed in my death my disguise would be more secure and accurate. I feared that if you had known people could have told that I was only pretending to be Rako Hardeen."

"But I'm not like Anakin, I can disguise my emotions well enough. I'm not weak!"

"I know, y/n. You're the strongest Jedi I know. Master Yoda told me how well you hid you feelings. But please understand, only your genuine sorrow was able to make my role believable." He had come extremely close.

"You're the only person I fully trust, y/n."

You wanted to hate him, scream at him, punch him, but you could not. You could not be angry with him. Still sobbing silently you leaned your head against his chest. Gently, Obi-Wan embraced you and held you close placing a small peck on you hairline.

"You don't know how much I missed you." You nuzzled into his robes. He had never before been this close to you. In fact you were usually both avoiding physical contact. But in that moment he knew that he had hurt you dramatically, he knew that you had suffered and he knew that you needed the embrace. And you equally realised that he had missed you just the same.

"Trust me I do." He said hugging you closer. "It broke my heart knowing that you were miserable and I would have done everything to ensure your happiness, if it wasn't for the galaxy's safety. I'm not gonna fool you again, y/n."

"Promise me." You mumbled.

"I promise you with every fibre of my being and as the force flows through my soul that I will not leave you again."

"Thank you." You hugged him even closer never wanting to let him go again.

Fic rec tag game

@illegalcerebral had a great idea of making fic recs into a tag game! Thanks for tagging me 😘

1) An ongoing multi chapter fic you are excited to get updates for right now

The Secret in the Heart of the Forest by @myrskytuuli - Harry Potter AU, a survival horror set in Maradeurs’ era, with each of the PoVs having a very distinctive voice and mindset. The worldbuilding is incredible both in terms of creepy magic and creepier family secrets, but even more then the concepts themselves I love their execution. Like a lot of people can say “Harry Potter is part desi” or “the Blacks are abusive”, these are fairly popular headcanons. But this author breathes life into them - vivid and horrifying. The chapter about Euphemia Potter’s story is one of my favourites.

2) A completed multichapter fic that you can binge read

American Pie by @micamicster - We Are Lady Parts, but being familiar with the canon is not strictly necessary - a long story about opening up to love (both romantic and familial) and how terrifying and hard it is (slow burn with lots of pining, obviously). It manages to be both hilarious and heartbreaking, sometimes in the same sentence, but all’s well that ends well.

3) A oneshot you think everyone should read

Of bark and bloom by @dapandapod - an adorable original story about autumn and a tiny dragon. It’s less than 500 words, and I love it dearly.

4) A fic you have re-read more than once

Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail by @vmohlere - MCU, stucky - I’ve read the whole series like four times at least, the first two - in Russian translation by the magnificent Sangrill. Plus the occasional reread of a single installment! I would say it feels like a cozy blanket, if blankets could make you laugh for hours.

But be aware! I did not even like coffee that much before reading this, and now I can’t imagine my life without it! Very insidious product placement, I feel like the author should get paid by Starbucks.

5) A fic you first read over a year ago that you want to spotlight

I’m coming up blank. Golfish memory!

6) A fic that introduced you to a new ship/character/fandom

like a prayer by @earlsgrey introduced me to Alinej (from Shadow and Bone), and I’ve been shipping it ever since.

7) A fic you'd recommend to someone new to your fandom

If you’re new to Leverage: Redemption, go read If she won’t accept gifts, soon she’ll give them by @neverfeedthesarlacc right now!!! I read this fic and it changed my view of Breanna forever, like it helped me to finally get her.

8) A fic you would recommend to the person who tagged you in this game.

Hmmmmmmm, how about Just Go Kill Palpatine by @nevertheless-moving? It’s short and extremely funny

Optional: one more wildcard choice of fic.

Complicated Feelings About Snow by @illegalcerebral - I actually went to your fics to see if Aliens Skies was old enough to fit the criteria of #5, but found this little gem instead! A very lovely piece of Loki's angst over snow, I love it

Tags (no pressure!): @arretoskore, @the-maidofmischief, @abstract-moth, @onedragontorulethemall and everyone tagged above!

Can you believe I’ve been reading non-stop STAR WARS fic for about seven years now? And that there are still incredible writers putting out incredible stories that feel just as fresh and engaging as they would have when the source material first came out? Yeah, sure, we get a steady diet of supplementary content, but the main storyline is almost 20 years old now and we’re still going with these two dipshits and how much we desperately need them to kiss it out. With fic that is brilliantly written and emotionally satisfying and cool as hell AUs and gorgeously written porn and running such a great gamut of tropes, whether canon divergent AUs, canon compliant missing scenes, character pieces, full on modern AUs, there’s always so much amazing stuff being thought up and shared with us. And I have lost my mind over this set of recs because they’re everything I’ve ever wanted and the writers are so talented at giving me all the feelings, like, I cannot express what a joy it is to be in a fandom that is still so passionate and enthusiastic about these characters we love. There’s no corner of these two that we would not turn over if it meant a chance to write some angst or write a fix-it or have them fuck it better. And I’m just really, really glad to be a part of it with everyone. Even if you guys did make me cry more than once with these fics.

WHAT KIND OF FIC YOU’LL FIND HERE:

FRIENDSHIP WITH CANON ENDED, THIS COOL AU IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND NOW

CANON-COMPLIANT (-ISH, WHATEVER) AT LEAST UP UNTIL THE GALAXY GOES PEAR-SHAPED

FUCK THE NOISE OUT OF ANAKIN SKYWALKER’S HEAD

DARTH ASSHOLE CAT KNOCKS EVERYTHING OVER AND SCRATCHES UP THE FURNITURE BECAUSE HE NEEDS MORE ENRICHMENT

WORLD IS HARD AND COLD, OBIKIN IS SOFT AND WARM

WHEN YOU’RE IN THIS DEEP YOU JUST NEED MODERN PROFESSOR OBI-WAN OR SUGAR BABY ANAKIN AUS AND FANDOM IS SO GOOD WITH THEM

OBIKIN RECS - FRIENDSHIP WITH CANON ENDED, THIS COOL AU IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND NOW: ✦ (feel like i die) ‘til i feel your touch by decideophobia, obi-wan/anakin & yoda & mace & ahsoka & cast, 15.5k OR; Obi-Wan gets himself cursed and makes it everyone’s, but mainly Anakin’s, problem. ✦ Neutron star collision by thedunesea, obi-wan/anakin & cast, NSFW, canon divergence, 107.1k wip In the aftermath of Order 66, Anakin Skywalker’s miraculous survival after his confrontation with the new Sith Apprentice Darth Vader ignites a sparkle of hope in the remaining Jedi, in the fledgling rebellion and, above all, in his former Master, who thought he had lost everything to darkness. ✦ For He, too, is King by MayMeows, obi-wan/anakin & padme & cast, NSFW, historical au, 7.7k Obi-Wan would be impressed as Anakin’s title as God-King, born from the divine himself, often struck people with awe, terrifying or glorifying, but Queen Amidala’s voice is as strong as her shoulders are squared. ✦ cranes in flight by TheGoodDoctor, obi-wan/padme (& implications of obi-wan/anakin/padme & previous anakin/padme), depression, padme lives, 10.9k “I’ve found us rooms for tonight,” he says, voice pitched to cut through the downpour. “I’ll find something more permanent in the morning.” She just stares at him. The next five minutes are far from her reach; permanency is unthinkable. ✦ use my body to break your fall by tennessoui, obi-wan/anakin & padme & yoda & ahsoka & mace & rex & palpatine & cast, NSFW, sith!obi-wan, sex worker!anakin, 63.5k Obi-Wan Kenobi is too good at being a Sith Lord general of the Separatist army. The Jedi Council approaches Anakin with an offer he can’t refuse. These things are, actually, related. ✦ Awed by ToolMusicLover, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 16.8k Or: Obi-Wan is left awe struck when he joins Anakin on a mission and fails to be subtle about it. ✦ The fire and fume by Himboskywalker, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 9.3k On opposite ends of the Republic Anakin and Obi-Wan have fought desperately and apart for years, protected only by their men and their swords. But a much greater threat than Separatist invaders comes, a Sith dragon of old, and there is only one living knight in the Order who has faced dragon fire. Long parted master and apprentice must join forces to track down the Sith shifter, beyond the desert and across the sea, before flame and ruin befalls them all. “Lend me your light and your sword, master, one last time.” ✦ Something broken that can be fixed by ToolMusicLover, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 8.2k In the aftermath of the Rako Hardeen incident, Anakin and Obi-Wan attempt to rebuild their relationship. The only thing stopping them from reconciling is themselves. ✦ what tomorrow may bring, what tomorrow may carry away by tennessoui, obi-wan/anakin, nsfw, royalty au, a/b/o, 12.4k As weeks of negotiations in Stewjon draw to a close, King Obi-Wan Kenobi is given a gift of thanks. The gift in question: a boy with a creature’s furry ears and tail, clearly sentient and clearly enslaved. Furious beyond measure, Obi-Wan is forced to accept the gift or else be the reason the boy, Anakin, is sent back to his owners. At least he can free him and the boy can leave. But then he doesn’t leave. It takes Obi-Wan a while to figure out why. ✦ encode by loosingletters, obi-wan/anakin & padme & dooku & ahsoka & cast, 72.7k Instead of being accepted into the Jedi Order at the age of 9, Anakin Skywalker became a ward of Naboo. He figured out the Force on his own by trial-and-error, tracing its will through ancient temples and scriptures. Despite his night terrors and the Clone Wars raging through the galaxy, life was working out just fine for Anakin, thank you very much. At least, that was before Obi-Wan Kenobi crashed back into his life with unexpected ferocity. OBIKIN RECS - CANON-COMPLIANT (-ISH, WHATEVER) AT LEAST UP UNTIL THE GALAXY GOES PEAR-SHAPED: ✦ broken bones, thunder drums by maragny, obi-wan/anakin & ahsoka & rex & cast, 4.3k “I’ll call for a stretcher,” Rex says, but General Kenobi shakes his head. "There’s no need,” he says, and then he crouches, slides an arm under General Skywalker’s knees, and picks him up. ✦ full of silver moons by beetlesacquired, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, sith!obi-wan/jedi!anakin & jedi!obi-wan/sith!anakin, dom/sub, 17.1k The Sith resumed their position on the couch, somehow even closer to each other than before. If making Anakin uncomfortable was somehow part of their evil plot, it was working. He could hardly even look at them without feeling like he was going to explode out of his skin, and that was the most bearable part. What was unbearable was the vicious jealousy that burned in his chest. If he’d known that all he had to do to get affection from Obi-Wan was fall to the Dark side, he would’ve done it ages ago. ✦ Over and Over by obiwanobi, obi-wan/anakin, 1.4k "I love you,” he blurts out, loud and impossible to miss. Obi-Wan blinks once, twice. And freezes. The first time Anakin tells him is a mortifying experience. OBIKIN RECS - FUCK THE NOISE OUT OF ANAKIN SKYWALKER’S HEAD: ✦ on sep'rate stars by mysticmjolnir, obi-wan/anakin/padme (& obi-wan/anakin), NSFW, dom/sub, 4.4k Obi-Wan visits Coruscant for the first time, but there’s only one thing he’s interested in seeing. Anakin, after some encouragement, makes a decision about who to have dinner with. ✦ Concupiscent by LostLine, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 3k Obi-Wan can’t stop fucking Anakin. A one-shot pwp to feed your Obikin feelings. ✦ Devotion by Padraigen, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, past pregnant!anakin (force shenanigans), 4.3k Anakin’s head jerked up in bewildered indignance, a disappointed grumble already readying in the back of his throat before it was abruptly cut off at the sight of Obi-Wan. Anakin’s confused frown deepened. “What are you doing?” ✦ needs must by silianrail, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, a/b/o, 1.7k Anakin must be the neediest omega in the entire temple, if not on the entire planet. But if Anakin is needy, what does that make Obi-Wan, who, after all, bends to so many of his padawan’s desires? ✦ Use Me by kittimau, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 2.1k Anakin knows what Obi-Wan needs, even if he won’t say it. ✦ When You’re Not There by recursion_after_dark (recursion_error), obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 3k Following a mission gone well, Anakin and Obi-Wan are exhausted and at the end of their ropes. Ropes which have nothing to do with the mission and everything to do with what they’ve been both ignoring. Each in his own, special way. ✦ Mission Debrief by Lemon (lemon_sprinkles), obi-wan/anakin & cast, 5.8k Obi-Wan tries to act in a professional manner befitting of a General and a Jedi. Anakin, however, has other ideas. ✦ radiance by demi_fae, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, a/b/o, 2.8k Anakin and Obi-Wan spend some time together before Obi-Wan’s rut hits, after Anakin has fully transitioned. ✦ paddled into next taungsday by RexIsMyCopilot, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, spanking, 4.7k Anakin messes up negotiations. Obi-Wan deals with the aftermath. ✦ untitled by binaryeclipse, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, modern au, ~1k “Fuck, did you get bigger?” Anakin groaned. The burn was simultaneously exquisite and just shy of too much, especially after the admittedly hasty fingering. ✦ i’ve been waiting for you by RexIsMyCopilot, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, dom/sub, 4.2k Anakin and Obi-Wan’s relationship is relatively new and Anakin is unsure of how to ask for what he wants. ✦ Carrier by JSwander, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, a/b/o, read the tags, 3.3k Anakin Skywalker gets pulled from active duty by the Jedi Council as a punishment for reckless behavior on his most recent mission. In the resulting fight with his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi decides to take drastic measures through his Stewjonian biology to help Anakin find peace away from the battlefield. ✦ Persistence is Key by ToolMusicLover, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 2.2k Anakin has been making suggestive remarks all day, when they’re finally alone together Obi-Wan finds himself succumbing to Anakin’s persistence. ✦ forever my master by RexIsMyCopilot, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, dom/sub, 3.6k Anakin sits on Obi-Wan’s cock while he reads mission reports. That’s it. That’s the fic. OBIKIN RECS - DARTH ASSHOLE CAT KNOCKS EVERYTHING OVER AND SCRATCHES UP THE FURNITURE BECAUSE HE NEEDS MORE ENRICHMENT: ✦ to restrain the darkness by treescape, obi-wan/darth vader, NSFW, 2k Vader wants Obi-Wan to tie him up ✦ dreams of old by treescape, obi-wan/darth vader, nsfw, canon divergence, 4.1k Or, Obi-Wan surrenders to Vader on Jabiim in exchange for everyone else’s freedom. ✦ falling up by obiwanobi & shatou, obi-wan/anakin & ahsoka & cast, raised as a sith!anakin, 24k wip Darth Sidious is dead, by the hand of the apprentice he raised. Anakin doesn’t want to be Vader anymore. The only person he trusts is a Jedi, and now Obi-Wan Kenobi has his hands full. ✦ untitled by obiwanobi, obi-wan/anakin, raised as a sith!anakin, 2.4k “I’m here to rescue you.” Obi-Wan blinks. “Oh. No, thank you.” ✦ to hold until brightness by treescape, obi-wan/darth vader, NSFW, 1.4k Or, Obi-Wan continues to fuck Vader back to the Light. OBIKIN RECS - WORLD IS HARD AND COLD, OBIKIN IS SOFT AND WARM: ✦ who you were does not define who you are by RexIsMyCopilot, obi-wan/anakin, nsfw, 3.3k Anakin begins skipping strategy meetings and lying to Obi-Wan about it. Obi-Wan finds out. ✦ For Breakfast by Crowgirl, obi-wan/anakin, 2.6k The house by the lake is small, primitive compared with their Academy lodgings, but it’s also quiet, blissfully quiet and far away from anything that might turn into a battle or an ambush or a skirmish or even a brawl. ✦ So I Love You Because I Know No Other Way by DontCallMeShirley, obi-wan/anakin, 3.2k Anakin and Obi-Wan just need a little push to admit their feelings. ✦ Morning Interlude by SingManyFaces, obi-wan/anakin, ~1k Obi-Wan and Anakin sleep late by accident, then stay in bed on purpose. ✦ And Then There Was One (Bed) by DontCallMeShirley, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 1.7k Obi-Wan and Anakin are on a mission gone wrong, and they have to share a very small hotel room with only one bed. ✦ the taste of fear, unforgotten by treescape, obi-wan/anakin, ~1k Or, Anakin’s been sick. Obi-Wan’s been scared. ✦ Just Resting My Eyes by hellowkatey, obi-wan/anakin & ahsoka & rex, 1.2k During a war, sleep is few and far between sometimes. Especially for stubborn Jedi who think meditation is a substitute for a REM cycle. ✦ permission to speak frankly by maragny, obi-wan/anakin & bail & cast, 2.8k In which a Senate party is attended, wits are matched, and a realisation is had. OBIKIN RECS - WHEN YOU’RE IN THIS DEEP YOU JUST NEED MODERN PROFESSOR OBI-WAN OR SUGAR BABY ANAKIN AUS AND FANDOM IS SO GOOD WITH THEM: ✦ The Fundamentals of Being a Sub by RexIsMyCopilot, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, dom/sub, 7.8k Anakin had always assumed he was a Dom. That is, until he met Obi-Wan ✦ My Anankē (chapter 8) by intermundia, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, modern au, 5.4k Hello friends! It is my birthday today, and the middle of summer, and in honor of that, have some extremely self-indulgent winter smut ✦ In the Family by Das_Hazel, obi-wan/anakin & qui-gon/shmi & ahsoka & rex, NSFW, modern au, 12k The last person Anakin expected to see, standing in front of his childhood home with a bottle of wine, was his one night stand from a week prior. Anakin was here to meet his mother’s boyfriend and his son. Ben said he was invited to meet his father’s girlfriend’s family. ✦ Parry & Riposte by farawaygalexi, obi-wan/anakin & ahsoka, modern au, 2.6k When Anakin encouraged Ahsoka to try out a sport, he meant like, soccer, or swimming. Not sword fighting.

Or, more concretely: he’s in the middle of succeeding because said intelligence first has to learn how to speak. Also known as Obi-Wan and Anakin teach a tiny program called A.H.S.O.K.A. how to be something more than lines of code via the power of linguistics.
