REXWALKER WEEK 2023 | DAY 5
Armor | Wings
Rex prefers it when his General wears armor...
The armor design for Anakin here belongs to an AU of mine... which has continued to betray me at every turn but such is the nature of stories to their writers.
Anyway, this took me... longer than I thought it would be, but it is done none the less!

RexWalker Week 2023 - Day 7: Rain / A Crying Kiss Illustrated for the fic "Nightmare for Others, Dream for the Self" by @battlekilt
Was unfortunately extremely busy the last few weeks and didn't think I would be able to manage anything for RexWalker Week; but I just had to illustrate something for my friend's fic because their writing for the week is bloody brilliant, and the Batakin AU is so very special.
So here it is, kind of encompassing a few prompts, but dominantly the Rain and Kiss, because these two deserve it and the writing is worth the world.
Enjoy!

REXWALKER WEEK PROMPT LIST!
They are finally here, and a day early! There were also a few ties, so we have chosen to offer an alternative prompt for each day! You are welcome to do the single prompts or combine them, whichever you wish in order to best show the love between Anakin and Rex. 💙
Day 1 - Sith AU or Modern AU Day 2 - Scars or Enemies to Lovers Day 3 - Undercover or Rescued Day 4 - Parenting or Cuddling/Hugging Day 5 - Armor or Wings Day 6 - Nightmares or Moment of Peace Day 7 - Rain or A Crying Kiss
A few quick reminders as well, any form of Anakin Skywalker is welcome in this event including Darth Vader or otherwise Sith Anakin (and this does satisfy the "Sith AU" prompt), so long as it is kept character positive. We are here to celebrate the love between Anakin and Rex, in whatever way you most enjoy showing it. For further details, please reference our Rules and Guidlines and our main blog; and understand that a work not following that criteria will not be shared or reblogged through this event. You may share however you wish of course, we just will not be promoting it here. Thank you for your understanding, and be sure to follow this blog to keep up to date on anything that may be changed or clarified!
And a quick reminder to join the discord if you haven't already, a space dedicated to meeting and engaging with other positive fans of Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex!
Can't wait to see and share everything you all create in November!

For @rexwalker-week—
Day 2 Prompt: Enemies to Lovers; Chapter 3 of ‘Nightmare for Others, Dream for the Self’!
Simply put: Anakin is not wholly human. He is something never seen before, and may never be seen again. Though he has great, big, powerful bat wings, he has the troubles the small little creatures also face. The Force got creative with this one.
Summary:
7567 goes to meet The Commander, which is absolutely NOT a scary prospect to an ARC Sergeant like him. Nope. He isn't the least bit—Okay, maybe he is... a little.
Stay tuned for more chapters throughout the week.

RexWalker Week - Day 1, Sith!au
Author’s Note : This fic is a part of a series me and @farkmagic came up with and are still working on. Please remember that English isn't my native language, so there might be some mistakes and stuff. I hope you all like it, have a great day/night!
Taglist : @rexwalker-week
TW : cursing, description of injuries
The bridge shook with yet another explosion, kicking up clouds of volcanic dust and smoke, that choked the sky and blinded them temporarily. Coughing and blinking the tears out of their eyes, the Bad Batch did their best not to breathe in the toxic fumes as they pressed on, cutting down the droids where they stood. Rex stopped to adjust his helmet, kicking the filters into overdrive, while doing his best to suppress his coughing as the ventilators whirred to life. “You okay?” Omega asked, voice strained, glancing at her older brother, her worry palatable through her visor. “...’m fine.” he nodded, before clearing his throat and glancing around at the hellish landscape of the planet Mustafar. “We need to keep going. Come on.” He gripped his blasters tightly and jogged after the rest of the team, with Omega following close behind him, her bow at the ready. The small crew of seven pressed on, pushing forward through the debris and smoke, with the distant sounds of volcanic eruptions following their every move. Wrecker grunted as he pushed the mangled remains of a Spider Dwarf Droid out of the way, tossing it aside with ease. He let out a cheer as the droid fell off the bridge and disappeared in the lava below, sinking like a stone in the water. “This is insane.” Crosshair muttered angrily, before flicking his toothpick after the unlucky robot. “Why are we even here? The intel isn’t worth all this hassle, is it now?” “It is.” Tech snapped back, visibly irritated. “Quit that, I can see you rolling your eyes under your bucket.” Crosshair huffed in annoyance, but didn’t argue further. As they rounded a corner, they were met with yet another wave of droids, swarming towards them like ants, with blasters at the ready. A dark, foreboding outpost loomed in the distance, overlooking the battlefield like a vulture sitting on a tree, waiting for its share of rotting meat. The sight sent a shiver down Rex’s spine. “I don’t like the look of that.” he muttered quietly, as he surveyed the sea of enemies that stood between them and the blast doors of the garrison. “Neither do I.” Echo agreed, furrowing his brows. Before any of them could come up with any plan of action, Wrecker charged at the droids with a blood-curdling war cry. He grabbed one by its leg and swung it like a club, sending several others tumbling over the edge of the narrow overpass. The giant made quick work of the droids, throwing his weight around like a bulldozer, leaving the battle field looking more like a salvage yard one would see on Ferrix. He cleared out a path to the outpost, laughing like a maniac while the terrified droids scrambled for cover and fell back to the garrison. Just as he turned to face his brothers and sister, with a proud smirk clearly visible beneath his helmet, the whole crew stopped in their tracks, as the reinforced metal doors were torn open from within, nearly flying off of its hinges. A wave of cold wind rushed out of the dark tunnel, a bone chilling contrast against the hot and suffocating atmosphere of Mustafar. The air around the Bad Batch became noticeably thicker, heavier, it felt like they were underwater. It was so sudden that it knocked the breath out of Rex’s lungs, leaving him dazed and confused. Before any of them could recover, Wrecker’s whole body tensed up and he reached up to his neck, sputtering, like he couldn’t breathe. His feet lifted off the ground, as he clawed at the invisible force that threatened to crush his windpipe, kicking and trashing wildly. “Wrecker!” Omega called out with fear as she broke into a run to help her brother, only to be knocked back by an unseen barrier. She tumbled to the ground, her energy bow slipping out of her grip. “What the...?”
The emergency lights started flickering violently, before exploding with a loud crackle and showering the bloody battlefield with sparks and broken glass. The remaining droids fell to the ground, one by one, some coughing up smoke as their hard drives melted and caught fire, other simply powering off. “...kriff?” the girl finished, as her eyes landed on her discarded weapon, fear gripping her heart. Her trusty bow, one that saved her life numerous times and has been at her side through thick and thin, was now flaring angrily, with its pinkish plasma eating through its limbs. She could feel her eyes tearing up, but she didn’t have the time to reminiscent over her fallen friend, as Crosshair’s rifle spat out a few stray bolts, one missing her by mere inches. Tech’s portable computer shut down without a warning, leaving him without his beloved gadget. A groan of surprise could be heard from Hunter, as his visor shortened out, leaving him momentarily blinded as he tried to rub away the sparks that danced in his eyes. Echo’s cybernetic legs gave out under his weight and if it wasn’t for Rex, he would’ve fallen to the ground like a sack of potatoes.
They looked at each other in fear and confusion, as their equipment continued to malfunction in strange and unexpected ways.
That’s when they heard something.
Footsteps. Slow and deliberate, echoing through the dark hallway, the sound distorting as it bounced off the steel walls. Faint whispers carried by the wind tickled their ears, the voices angry, hateful, hissing and spitting indistinguishably from one another. The metal screeched and groaned, like the whole building was about to fall over, the sound reverberating through their skulls.
And then, out of the darkness, stepped a man.
Tall, dressed in black, red and grey, with a black kama wrapped around his waist, its edges torn and damaged from past battles. His armor greatly detailed and complicated, light yet strong and durable, highlighting his body and posture, with numerous belts holding everything in place. Where the man’s face should be, a black steel mask greeted them, with red markings decorating it around the visor and down the cheeks, like bloody tears. It couldn’t be any more obvious that the person standing before them was a Sith Lord. Hunter reached for his knife, only for the Sith to flick his wrist and send Wrecker crashing into the sergeant, slamming the two against the metal railing of the bridge, teetering dangerously close to the molten lava below. Rex growled in anger and aimed his pistols, but the air grew thick with acrid scent of burning metal and the clone realized, with horror, that his twin blasters were melting in his hands. “H-how?” he stammered, dropping the now useless weapons to the ground. “Fall back!” Tech yelled, scrambling to his feet and helping Omega up. “Now!” He didn’t have to say it twice, as Wrecker jumped to his feet and grabbed Echo, throwing him over his shoulder like a rag doll. “Go, go, go!”
The whispers grew louder, like a choir of demons singing their praises to some unseen deity, as the Sith continued to saunter towards them, lightsaber in hand. “Fucking go!” Crosshair yelled, his cold and cool demeanor nowhere in sight as he pushed Hunter, prompting him to move. “What are you waiting for?!” The Bad Batch broke into a run, but they didn’t even make it past the bridge, as the Sith charged at them. Rex, who was closing their escape, yelped in surprise and dodged, the lightsaber’s blade nearly taking off his head. He stumbled back and found himself cut off from the rest, with the fallen Jedi blocking his path.
He gritted his teeth as the Sith went after him like a rabid dog, the red sword cutting through the air with a loud whooshing sound. He barely had the time to raise his arm and deflect it with his gauntlet, the impact so jarring that it sent a wave of pain through his forearm, all the way from his elbow to the tips of his fingers. With an angry yell, the Sith turned and hit the clone in the face with so much strength that it cracked the visor in Rex’s helmet, the glass shards cutting his face. The clone grunted in pain, stumbling back, as his opponent continued with his merciless attack, the lightsaber hissing at it once again made contact with the beskar armor. The clone tried to fight back, but it was like hitting a brick wall with a stick. The Sith moved with unnatural speed and strength, making it nearly impossible to keep up with the onslaught. The fallen Jedi’s hand shot out, the Force slamming into Rex and throwing him to the ground, forcing the air out of his lungs. He hit the metal of the bridge with a sickening crack, pain shooting through his body as his helmet slip off his head, sliding across the floor. Blood streamed down the right side of his face, mixing with the sweat and tears as he looked up to see the Sith standing over him, his saber raised, ready to strike. In a blind panic, Rex grabbed the last thing fixed to his belt - an old lightsaber. As the saber detached from his belt, Rex was greeted by a loud crackle and a burst of brilliant, blue light. He swung it recklessly, the blade connected with the lord’s face, cutting through the metal with a sickening screech. Pieces of flaming metal and tinted glass exploded in every direction, as the Sith stumbled away with an audible groan of pain, his hand pressed to the wound. Rex lifted himself up, not waiting for his opponent to regain his vision. Keeping his distance, he brandished the saber, trying to remember what his late lover taught him, all those years ago. His chest burned with pain, lungs screaming for air, eyes watering from the toxic fumes, yet, he did not have the time to get his bearings, as the Sith lord turned to face him.
The clone’s heart stopped.
Through the broken eyeshade of the man’s mask, he saw a glint of something... familiar. The cracked visor revealed just enough of the Sith’s face for Rex to recognize the person standing in front of him. It was as if he was looking at a ghost, a memory of his past that he thought was long buried.
“...Ani?” he choked out, lowering his weapon. The Sith seemed to falter slightly, his brow furrowing in surprise and confusion, only now taking the time to study his opponent’s face, a hint of recognition in his eyes. For just a split of a second, everything went quiet. The whispers died out, the winds slowed down, even the volcanic eruptions stopped mid explosion.
This couldn’t be true. Rex knew that it wasn’t possible.
Anakin was dead and has been for years. He died on Coruscant, at the hands of Sidious, nearly a decade ago.
The clone saw the destroyed Chancellor’s suite with his own eyes, the burn marks left by lightning and the shattered windows stained with blood. He was there, during the funeral and when the Council built a statue of the man, to honor Skywalker’s sacrifice.
The clone tried to convince himself that he was just seeing things. That he got a whiff of the fumes and was now hallucinating the man standing in front of him.
But the eyes staring back at him were the same as the ones that haunted his dreams, the same as the ones he saw when he closed his own. The person hidden behind the mask was the one he had loved and lost, the one he saw every time he was on Coruscant, in the Jedi Temple’s courtyard. He knew, deep down, that no hallucination could map out all the details of his lover’s face. The scar over his eye, the very one Rex would kiss as they woke up in bed. The curve of cheekbone, the same one Rex would trace over with his thumb during those quiet and short moments they had in between battles.
Both men were frozen in place and time, like the world around them ceased to exist, like they were the only two left in the entire universe. It was only them and the platform they were standing on. Rex could feel the heat of the lava below, the toxic air burning his lungs and eating through their membrane, but he didn’t move an inch. All he could do was look at the man he had loved, the man he thought he has lost forever.
He wanted to scream, to lash out, to beg and plead for it not to be true, for it all to be a cruel nightmare, a trick of his imagination...
The fallen Jedi shook his head, as if to clear his mind from a haze, before looking up at Rex with anger, fury even. He lunged at the clone and their sabers connected with a loud crack, showering the two men with sparks. The plasma blades screeched and groaned against each other, as they fought for dominance, trying to gain extra ground. The men traded blows, their lightsabers creating a blur of blue and red. The ground shook beneath their feet as the seismic activities grew stronger, more violent.
The clone was able to push his enemy back before hitting him in the face, cracking the mask clean off. The Sith took a shaky step back, blood trickling down his face, before swinging his weapon in a wide arc.
Rex parried the hit and, with, tears blurring his vision, he reached out, grabbing Anakin by the arm and trying to wrench the weapon out of his grasp. “Anakin, stop!” he yelled, his grip tightening on the black sleeve of the Sith’s robe as they continued to wrestle. He didn’t know what to do, what to say, what his next move could possibly be. His mind was racing, trying to make sense of it all.
Now, up close and without the mask, he could see the man’s face clearly : mangled and scarred. His hair was longer, eyes more sunken, making his face look nearly skeletal, but it was him, without a shadow of a doubt. “You left me to die, Rex!” the man yelled in response, his words ringing over the explosions and wind. “You all did!” Rex could feel the blood draining from his face and his heart breaking into a million little pieces at the sound of his lover’s voice. “Ani, I...!” he tried to deny it, to defend himself, but the Sith cut him off with a vicious kick to the chest, sending him tumbling backwards to the ground. The lightsaber slipped from his grasp, sliding across the floor and out of reach. He struggled to get back up, his body aching and vision spinning, coughing violently, the vapors scratching at his throat and forcing tears out of his eyes. He could hear footsteps approaching and the hum of the lightsaber, as the fallen Jedi raised his weapon, ready to deliver the final blow. Suddenly, with a deafening roar, the Marauder descended upon the battlefield, the ship’s laser cannons firing at the Sith, kicking up debris and forcing him back, creating a barrier of fire between him and the injured clone. Rex looked over his shoulder, to see Echo standing on the entry ramp of the ship, as it hovered a few feet off the ground. “Get in!” the cyborg yelled, reaching out for his brother. “C’mon!” But Rex hesitated. He turned to look at the Sith, his heart sinking. Anakin stood at the other end of the platform, his gaze wild and filled with hate, pain, animalistic fury. “You did this to me!” he roared, his voice distorting and warping to the point that it could no longer be recognized as human. The wind picked up, tearing at his clothes and hair, throwing ash and smoke up into the air. The disembodied voices were now wailing, cackling, howling. “Ani, please!” Rex could feel tears streaming down his face. “Come back to us!” “Oh, Rex...” he chuckled mockingly. It was a sad, nearly pitiful sound. And as their world continued to fall apart around them, with waves of scalding hot liquid crashing against the supports of the bridge, eating through the metal like it was nothing, with the pieces of the bridge breaking off and falling into the ocean of lava, their eyes locked. And as the ground split apart, molten lava spewing like a geyser, the heat and fumes threatening to suffocate them, Anakin... smirked.
“...you are the one who left.”

REXWALKER WEEK 2023 | DAY 1
Sith AU | Modern AU
Bit late to the party, but here I am. Originally intended to do a one shot from this AU for the prompt... but then the potential of the AU got away from me so I settled on doing a bit of art. I'll just say... Vader's not the only Sith here...

12 DAYS UNTIL REXWALKER WEEK!
The countdown is really on now everyone! The month of October has been crazy and packed with fun events, but this is the excited reminder that RexWalker week is less then two weeks away, and we wanted to give some quick reminders as well!
Remember this is a week to celebrate the romantic relationship between Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex; and though we love to see any and all positive relationships with the two, we are only going to be reblogging and including romantic creations in this event.
There are two prompts per day, and it is your choice which you wish to do (or if you decide to do both!). We just ask you to make sure you include which prompt in your post so we can share correctly; and when posting to the AO3 collection (AO3 tutorial for this here), it is included in the summary and/or title. Note: If posting all prompts in the same work on AO3, we ask you include the prompt(s) as the title of the chapter, to help with creating the Master Summary later.
On of the prompts this year is "Sith AU", and we want to reiterate that RexVader does fulfill this prompt! RexVader is also encouraged for any of the prompts, as it is still an iteration of Anakin Skywalker. So, as long as you remain positive in the characters, we would love to see and share such works!
We do have a cutoff day for accepting posts (November 15th), simply for mods to create the Master Summary in a good time frame before the holidays. BUT we will still be happy to reblog and share RexWalker content here after that date, and will be continuing to do so throughout the year as well.
Please tag this account in your posts when sharing so we don't miss anything, and note we will be following the #rexwalkerweek23 tag when the week comes around!
Please remember to check the full Rules and Guidelines before submitting or tagging this account in your posts. And check out our pinned post for links to the prompts, FAQ, AO3 collection, and full schedule, as well as a link to a discord full of other people excited to celebrate this ship. OR simply hop to our main page for everything you could need to know. And if you still have questions, on anything with this event, feel free to send them in!
So excited to see what you all create!

Submission Prompts Open! We are inviting you to come list some prompts to be put to a vote for the event. The form will require you enter at least one prompt, but you can submit up to five! Please keep in mind this is a writing and art/media event, and we request that the prompts submitted are vague enough to accommodate. Short answers such as "beach day" or "Armor" are some good examples. And before submitting, please check our rules post again, to ensure you are staying within the guidelines. Can't wait to see your ideas!

Welcome! This is the official blog for the annual RexWalker Week. Below are some quick guidelines for how it will run this year, and if you have any questions not already answered in our FAQ tag, feel free to send us an ask!
This is both an art and fic event, and we will happily accept other media such as playlists (15- 20 songs per day) or gif creation (3-5 gifs). So long as it incorporates the prompt for the day and focuses on RexWalker, we are open to discussing how to get your creations to work! When posting be sure to tag this account and use the tag #rexwalkerweek23 so we can be sure to share your work! And when posting on AO3 be sure to submit to the RexWalker Week 2023 collection! This is meant to just be a fun time to celebrate a shared love for the RexWalker ship, and we want to encourage that even if you can only create one or two things we would love to see it! And if you can't create anything we would still love to have you chat with us in the server and share and engage with others and their work shared here.
Now some rules! Feel free to send us an ask for clarification or any question we may have missed answering.
No Anakin Skywalker slander. We are here to support and enjoy the ship, not needlessly pick apart characterizations or Anakin's canon character.
You can have what ships you will in the background so long as they remain BACKGROUND and are PROPERLY TAGGED. Improperly tagged works will not be rebloged/shared or permitted to the AO3 collection.
Be sure to include which prompt(s) you are doing somewhere when you post (Tumblr tags, AO3 chapter name/description, authors note at the start of chapter, etc.), so when we reblog your works, we can tag it for the correct prompt(s); and when making the summary, we can properly sort it! If doing multiple submissions for a single prompt, post them separately if you can do so, in order for us to give each piece its own shoutout/attention, and once again better organize things at the end of the event!
This event will be 18+ and potentially have sensitive and/or adult content. PLEASE TAG APPROPRIATELY.
We will not accept submissions to the collection or the official summary post past the late date (November 15th), BUT if you share on Tumblr and tag us, we will still happily reblog and share throughout the year :)
RexVader does qualify and is in fact encouraged! So long as you remain positive with the character we would love to see works featuring them (and with the "Sith AU" prompt being voted upon this year, we shall specify that RexVader satisfies that prompt fill)
Follow this blog to stay up to date on what is happening, including the prompt submissions and voting. And find our schedule outline here.
