kit's list of obikin fic recs in no particular order

y'all asked and i finally answered.....here's a list of fics i've read and adored this year! note that i've tagged things that i think could squick people (a/b/o dynamics, weird biology, dub con, heavy kink, etc), and i've noted the ratings (explicit, mature, teen), but i have not noted top/bottom (this list contains a pretty even split of both) and i haven’t indicated which are WIPs - take a chance! i've left little paragraphs as to why i liked the fic but i tried to keep spoilers out of them so the story can be a surprise :D

remember to leave a comment and a kudos if you enjoyed the fic :D

Igneous - zimriya Notes: Explicit, A/B/O dynamics, canon compliant, series!

Trying to find this fic so I could reread it was the thing that prompted me to make this list. That’s how amazing this fic is. It tears out your heart strings. It hurts. I love it. It’s soft. It makes me cry. I am never going to recover from this perfect retelling of canon. This hurts just as much as the kenobi show. I owe this author a medical bill and a thank you card. I don’t care if a/b/o isn’t your thing or omega obi-wan isn’t your thing i need you to try reading this fic i really do because it’s just honestly superb and beautiful prose and i think about some of these lines near daily. Ok, fine. Daily.

I’d Never Be Me (Without The Support of Your Loving Arms) by euryrice Notes: Explicit

i don’t think i’ll ever stop talking or thinking about this fic, it’s up there for me….such a good take on a bond/spy au that I don’t think I’ll ever seriously try at one myself because it’d never be ‘i’d never be me without the support of your loving arms’; it’s just so well thought through. Canon lovingly applied. Kit beautifully moved and hungry for a second part of the series, even though it doesn’t even need a second part and is perfect as a stand alone. Witty banter rating: 10/10

Hooked On You by @whohatessand Notes: Explicit, infidelity, side anidala (padmé is being cheated on)

Dirty bad wrong never felt so good though; Anakin is cheating on his wife with her campaign manager. Anakin is very not satisfied with being a trophy husband, and honestly it’s so valid of him. This is so well-written that Anakin’s frustration with his life, his wife, his duties all feels very real and understandable. Does that excuse the cheating and the spit-as-lube fucking at a donor ball? Nah, but they know it doesn’t. And it ends on a very hopeful obikin note, which is my favorite

The Final Frontier of Pleasure by @jedibongrip Notes: Explicit, bp!Anakin, virginity kink (ish?)

“Just the tip” made into a very hot 2k fic wherein anakin’s definitely not a virgin anymore, but obi-wan’s gonna go along with it if it makes him happy (and means that he gets to keep touching him, god bless); note to say that all of this author’s stuff is very good!

Stars To Fill My Dreams by hidden_humours Notes: Explicit, reverse master/padawan, dark Anakin

Anakin is teetering on going off the walls insane in this fic and I am so here for it. This is just amazing. I love a padawan obi-wan and I especially love this time-travel with a twist (which I won’t spoil!); the summary even says “yeah this anakin isn’t all there” and the author is right!!! 100%!! I love it. I want to poke this Anakin with a stick. I want to push him off his metaphorical cliff of sanity. I want to push Obi-Wan off a cliff just to see what this Anakin would do. What a fic. What a goddamn fic.

Obi-Two by @virahaus Notes: Explicit, Obi-Wan/Anakin/Obi-Wan

Guys, holy shit I am so excited for this WIP you have no idea. Everything about it is delicious so far. The Obi-Wan that gets zapped back in time just before ROTS/Order 66 is living to see twunk Anakin again and he is so soft yet so commanding about it. Ben!Obi-Wan literally kills me in this fic. If there’s never another chapter, I’m begging you to read this anyway, it’s that good.

Vast as the sea, constant as the tide by @moonlightatnoon Notes: Explicit, pirate!anakin, captain!Obi-Wan

So maybe Kit’s attention was captured and held by the sea-themed title…she’s a simple lady. But this fic is absolutely beautiful. I love the intrigue, the history, the pining of it all. My attention, much like Obi-Wan, was gently captured and held hostage by pirate Anakin and the way he’s like ‘my obi-wan <3 mine <3’ while also being a whole ass pathetic lil mew mew of a pirate. He is so possessive and fearsome and clingy and needy I love this Anakin and how much he needs his Obi-Wan. I love the ending especially! Beautifully done.

Buns of Steel by @ragnarlothcat Notes: Explicit, humor, himbos the both of them

Put this under Fics That Make Kit Want To Join A Gym. I love the humor here (Rag has such a legendary way with a great turn of phrase and pacing of jokes that just makes the fic fly by) and the ridiculousness of it all. Obi-Wan here is extremely lovably bitchy and I adore it. His dialogue is quite polite, but this is a fic where the narration really makes the characterization pop. Also the amount of lusting after his beautiful aerobics instructor that Obi-Wan does…and how UNFAIR he finds Anakin’s beauty. Just amazing. Cheering for Obi-Wan living his best life and getting the hot aerobics instructor in the end.

My Thoughts I Confess (Verge On Dirty) by @artemisthehuntress Notes: Explicit, horny, horny, horny Obi-Wan

This is, of course, the other fic filed under Fics That Make Kit Want To Join A Gym. I love Anakin in booty shorts. I love Obi-Wan, head empty and no thoughts because his dick is too goddamn hard to see straight. One should not be exercising under such conditions. The humor here is impeccable. Love all of Obi-Wan’s fantasies with the hot guy working out next to him. If you’re a fan of horny-grip Obi-Wan, this is the fic for you! If you’re not as into horny-grip Obi-Wan, I’d say this fic is still worth the read because it’s just written so well.

just like the days we’d burn by @travellingcircus Notes: Explicit, PTSD mentions, heavy

I was always going to rec one of travellingcircus’ fics of course. They are a fantastic writer and I love their fics - especially the long oneshots that consume my entire night when I see that one’s been posted and I get to delve into a new side of obikin I could never imagine. This fic is one of my favorites by them – and maybe one of my favorite modern aus all together. Anakin has a racing career until he has an accident. Then he goes back to his small town and decides to have Obi-Wan instead because first love (I love first love fics especially in modern aus)!! Also Obi-Wan has a motorbike. This is excellent news. He also has helmet hair. I love Anakin in this fic so much. He’s crazy. He’s wounded. He’s obsessed. He’s in love. He’s desperate. And Anakin makes Obi-Wan all these things too. Such a good modern au for these characters. They feel so close to their canon characters, it’s marvelous.

Where Every Mask Cracks by skyl_tales Notes: Explicit, a spin-off of one of their other fics, but can be standalone

Skyl_tales’ fics for me are the very definition of fandom classic. They were the first fics I read and I continue to reread them roughly maybe once every year at least. They’re just all very readable. The writing style is something I have always loved and envied – their fics are approachable and entertaining, no matter how much you know or don’t know about Star War at the time of your reading. Tbh I think this is the fic author who has influenced my writing the most! I love this fic in particular because I do have a soft spot for vaderwan. Old Ben being delightfully torn up over Vader and Vader being delightfully unhinged about his former master…..with a magical fix-it device that restores both of them to their younger, strongest selves (if only to make the fucking easier and the horny insatiable)

Gay Chicken by zimriya Notes: Explicit, enemies to lovers, light daddy kink

Where to begin with this fic!!! I guess I cannot stress enough how much I love humor in fics when done right and this is done so well. Like it is literally so funny and so normal. There is something so beautiful about putting these space monk superheroes into like. Just situations. This fic is about laundry. But also upstairs neighbors. But also lost loves??? I’m always a bit hesitant for fics with a lot of notes/messages, because I can find that hard to read, but this was very, very easy to read, both format-wise and flow of the story wise. I love them both being assholes to each other. Love them slowly becoming friends through notes under the monikers “501” and “212”. LOVE the twist.

wildest dreams by kidhuzural Notes: Explicit, 5+1 fic

Basically: Baby Anakin wants to get married to Obi-Wan. Teenager padawan Anakin wants to marry Obi-Wan. Clone Wars Anakin wants to marry Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan wants to marry Clone Wars Anakin. I love love love fics that start out with baby padawan Anakin and have him grow up. It places so much emphasis on their master&padawan relationship and how important they were to each other before AOTC or TCW, which I think is the strongest basis for obikin. Also this Anakin is just so cute and Obi-Wan cares for his baby padawan so much!! All in all, this fic is just so sweet. Obsessed.

In Pursuit of Cold Water by @jswander Notes: Mature, Merman!Anakin

Can I have a fic rec list that doesn’t include this fic?? I love this fic. I think I reread it like twenty times while waiting for the last chapter, and it was worth it and gripping and incredible each time. I am fascinated by writers who can worldbuild, and Jo worldbuilds so well in this mermaid AU. I love the descriptions of their fins; the possessiveness, the hurt, the anger, the jadeness, and the naivete of Anakin somehow all existing in the same character and all being so justified. There’s some really heavy moments and also really silly moments (they dress Anakin up as an old lady to avoid detection at one point). I love the development of their relationship and especially the growth of their mental bond. Such a good translation of their Force bond in canon (and such a clever work-around for a mermaid not speaking English!) Just an amazing fic. So good.

The Devil’s In The Details by @ragnarlothcat Notes: Explicit, demon Anakin, darker!Anakin (because of the demon bit)

Back at it again with my Rag-writing obsession! I’m loving this WIP and how evil and innocent Anakin is. Yeah, he’s a demon haunting Obi-Wan’s new house; yeah, he’s killed like. A ton of people. But he’s so pathetic. So very eager to please. So very attractive. As a reader, you’re like Obi-Wan’s friend, Quinlan, who discovers Obi-Wan sleeping with a literal demon, and you’re like ‘bestie, do you not know? That’s a literal demon?’ and obi-wan is like ‘he is quite polite and does so good on our walks around town’ and you’re like ‘you’re taking him on walks???’ but also you can’t help but root for demon Anakin and poor decision-maker Obi-Wan. Also, once again, I love Rag’s humor and timing of it. The narration Obi-Wan has is so colorful and so fucking funny, I snort all the time. He’s such a bitch. He’s amazing.

By Omission by @posthumousvigor Notes: Explicit, reverse master/padawan au, drunk sex

This writer is very quickly becoming one of my favorites. I love their prose and the way they write Obi-Wan—especially padawan!Obi-Wan with Master Anakin. One of my favorite dynamics for obikin aus, and this writer gives me so much good food. TBH one of my all-time favorite cliches/tropes is one of them getting dressed up out of their Jedi robes to be put in Situations, and I especially love this for Obi-Wan cause Anakin got a whole movie of dressing up for funsies, and this fic delivers. Master Skywalker comes back early from a mission to find his padawan slutting it up in the Lower Levels, and what is a man to do other than snap?? And he snaps so beautifully in this fic. I love it when they’re horny beyond reason for each other.

how to stay by answersinahauntedclub Notes: Explicit, professor/student relationship

I know logically that this fic probably will not update again, but it is so beautiful and I think about it all the time. It is like. The peak of college/university aus in this fandom. Bold statement, I know, but I love this fic and characterization so much that I am stating it. They’re both disasters. They can’t resist each other even if they really, really should. It’s an incredible read and I am fascinated by both this Obi-Wan and this Anakin. Cannot stress enough the lovable disasters that they are. In writing this, I took an hour break and reread it again.

we’re swimming with the sharks (until we drown) by @obiwaned Notes: Teen, fake/pretend relationship

Getting this update notification felt like such a sweet sweet win for me. I loved the premise as soon as I read it and it just keeps getting better. Fake marriage for any reason is always amazing. I also LOVE non-linear timelines and this writer does it so well because you as the reader don’t get lost and confused trying to keep the timeline straight. It’s delectable, it’s straightforward, it’s so easy to devour, and I am obsessed with this fic and even the possibility of more.

Self-Insert by ZenyZootSuit Notes: Teen, crack

God this is so funny in a very crack way. Short and funny and perfect. Darth Vader writes self-insert fanfiction about being with Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Sidious finds out. Imperial secrets are leaked, but I’m sure those were important details he needed to include!! For context! Realism! Absolutely perfect; no notes.

Open Circle by Calyss Note: Explicit, Dark Obi-Wan, dom/sub (under)tones, seduction to the Dark side

This is also one of my annual rereads, and one of my absolute favorite Sith Obi-Wans in the fandom. I love how out of control this sith Obi-Wan is, how very obsessed with just Anakin he is. Sith Obi-Wan really said “he’s mine” and he’s gonna destroy Anakin’s marriage and the whole galaxy to prove it. And also Anakin is not going to say no or resist much at all because that’s his master and he loves him and has weird feelings for him he has not really examined. This is also such an id fic of mine. But no regrets putting it on the list. When I saw it updated in October 2022, I literally cleaned my room and improved my life before I sat down to read it.

How to Save a Galactic Republic Without Really Trying by @sharpest-tongue Notes: Mature, Post Kenobi show

So many amazing fics came out of the Kenobi show but this absolutely has to be one of my favorites. There’s humor, there’s touching moments, there’s Star Wars lingo I didn’t know but that made the whole thing feel very much in-universe (and that I have now incorporated into my Star Wars Wikipedia slash Dictionary for later use, even if it’s all made up). I love a time travel fic, has to be said, and this one delivers perfectly. The Jedi as family in this fic really made me emotional. Extra special shout out to Obi-Wan, raising his padawan again in a do-over, and thinking, ‘i was not this bad as a teenager wtf?? Yeah ok whatever i MAY have fought in TWO WARS at that age but still!!!’ love him. Love his obvious blind spots for anakin and also for himself. Such a good fic!!!

broken bones, thunder drums by @maragny Notes: Teen, hurt/comfort

There is so much to love about this fic and I love it all. Clone War fics are like my bread and butter in this fandom. I love obikin fics that take place in the middle of battle where the reader is confronted with the reality of either Anakin or Obi-Wan fighting – and this fic really starts by throwing you into the action in such a visceral, effective way that I was stressed! I was gripped! It makes Anakin hiding his injury feel not only understandable but also like the only option. Good think Obi-Wan is there to save the day and help Anakin through his pain because he is overprotective and in love with him. Also the first chapter is told from Rex’s point of view, which just. One of my favorite outsider POVs for obikin is Rex.

no news is good news by @rhymenoceros Notes: Mature, crack, relationship reveal, breaking news/news cycle format

This fic is so funny! The tone is perfect for what the writer sets out to do — that is, make the reader feel like they’re caught up in a social media news cycle! There’s talk shows, there’s paparazzi, there’s space reddit, there’s leaked Jedi text conversations….the Jedi screen names are hilarious and easy to tell who is who while still staying true to the joke. Cannot recommend this fic enough. Cute, funny, horny, and with that sweet sweet Palpatine downfall that the best cracky fics always have.

Falling Deep Into You by @dark--whisperings Notes: Explicit, dom/sub tones, so much pining

Any fic that has the tag “Obi-Wan Kenobi is a freak in bed” has my attention and my interest. This writer describes Anakin subbing and Obi-Wan domming so very beautifully that it’s almost a manifesto in 8k. Lots of good sex here, but I really love the opening scene and the push and pull the writer’s given the characters. They want each other so much—Obi-Wan wants so much, but alas! Religious guilt on par with catholicism! Of course the nasty freaky sex fiend in Obi-Wan wins out over the Jedi Master, but I really enjoyed the guilt and the way he gives in and goes to find Anakin because of course he does. And then the ending! A resetting of the chess board so that the game can start over tomorrow. A great fic all in all!

you took my love so tenderly by @billboguspreston & @acrylicsalts-inspo Notes: Explicit, prince/guard dynamic, exhibitionism

I started reading this fic when it was first posted, and I followed it attentively and with baited breath. I love the reverse age dynamic (I know, it’s not for everyone, but I lovelovelove it), and I love that this Obi-Wan is such a spitfire. He knows what he wants and that’s for his silent, restrained, older, handsome bodyguard to snap and fuck him and he WILL brat his way into getting what he wants as is his right. Anakin being both incredibly horny (Anakin horny-gripping the pommel of his sword because Obi-Wan has decided to get off right in front of him to see if he can tempt him into fucking him) is amazing. Obi-Wan being both the aggressor and also the inexperienced one is chef’s fucking kiss and a dynamic I do not see often enough. So worth the read. And there may be more sequels??? Be still my beating heart!

I Wanna Be Owned by @kyberkenobi Notes: Explicit, 5+1 things, light BDSM

Speaking of horny grip lol, I had to think for a bit about which fic from this writer to choose because all of them are very good and very very smutty with all sorts of kinks and dynamics. The writer you go to for mean dom Obi-Wan and if you’re feeling up for discovering a kink you weren’t sure you were into before. There’s plenty of amazing fics on her ao3 (I was also immediately obsessed with the recent alpha/alpha one), but this fic is one of my favorites. I love the style of a 5+1 for a fic, and I am obsessed with casual slut (affectionate) Obi-Wan and Anakin’s blinders of his master slowly being pulled away until he HAS to confront the reason Obi-Wan can untie and hogtie a criminal they caught so damn quickly. It’s indecent. It’s amazing.

Our Man From Tatooine by kazmir Notes: Explicit, a/b/o dynamics, intersex omegas

This story is such a good, quick, enthralling read. I really can’t say much without spoiling it, but it’s worth the read. Dark Obikin, twists and turns, roleplaying, horny mates being unable to resist the other’s draw….so good….One of those fics I paused to reread while reccing it lol

Acts of Contrition by @marycontraire Notes: A series, ranging from Gen - Explicit

Cheating a little bit to rec you all a series instead because I just reread this fic series and fell in love with it all over again. Literally a fandom classic for me. The world building is amazing, the realism and research really pays off because it creates such a rich world for people to dive into. The Tatooine culture is so rich and interesting, and I love this Anakin especially. It’s a very realistic take on if Anakin had been expelled from the Order for the Tusken massacre. This Anakin is darker and clingier and Obi-Wan is trying to keep himself level and sane and something Anakin can cling to while still being a Jedi in all but name. Every installment of this series is gold and worth reading as quickly as possible just to have this in your mind faster. Also worth a slow read to savor it because unfortunately, you can only read a fic series like this for the first time once.

You can call me baby (you can call me love) by @lilredghost Notes: Explicit, 5 + 1

This fic is so sweet that I honestly forgot it was explicit - even though, yes, it opens with a sex scene lmao! But I love this writer’s explicit fics so much (their ao3 is worth a browse) that I am not disappointed in it being explicit, no sir. Obi-Wan gets upset when Anakin calls him an old man repeatedly and I’ve read this fic so much that when I see repeated use of “old man” in other fics I’m like “! no! His feelings!!!” this fic ALSO has anakin calling obi-wan baby <3 so good so sweet so perfect.

take my hand through the flames by @atornpage Notes: Explicit, vaderwan, seduction to the Dark Side

Oh this may just be the WIP I am most excited to see updated! It’s such a clever and unique concept that I’m on the edge of my seat to see where the writer takes the story next. There are not enough stories where a character falls into a coma and time passes around them, and this is so perfect. I adore fics where baby Anakin is clingy and obsessed with Obi-Wan and everyone around them is like ‘this is not REALLY the Jedi way, guys’, and this fic has SO much of that. I can’t wait to see all the promises of the tags come to fruition and am massively enjoying the ride to get there!

Heal Me, My Darling by @wasureneba Notes: Explicit, sick fic, idiots in love

Who doesn’t love a sick fic?? The tender healing…the care…the rotten work…not to me, not if it’s you, etc etc…this fic is such a good sick fic too, I was here for the entire thing! Anakin is in top whiny form and Obi-Wan is cuddling him left and right! I also love Anakin having a praise kink in this fic – it made me soft and so receptive to the idea again when I was getting tired of seeing it as a default in a ton of fics. But this fic said “Obi-Wan tells Anakin he’s doing good while touching his ass to administer a very important for plot reasons shot and Anakin bursts into flames” and I said “absolutely and understandable, please tell me what happens next.” This is like a perfect sick fic for me. The right balance of sweet and horny. Caring Obi-Wan and whiny because he’s bored! Anakin. God-tier combination.

Νόστος by NFx Notes: Explicit, stockholm syndrome typical of hades & persephone aus

I am always here for a good Hades&Persephone AU and I feel like this is a great one! I especially love AUs that carefully place Star Wars GFFA characters into an established world (like Greek mythology in this case), and take care to match up the side characters of the GFFA with the AU characters they’re being transposed on. I like the pace and narration of this one too, the way the tone feels both readable and still old — the dialogue and narration don’t read like a BBC documentary set in Ancient Greece where everyone just sort of speaks like they’re in a Shakespeare play for some reason, but it’s still sorta oldish/stiffer dialogue that really keeps you in the fic universe without alienating readers. Also, horny. But dark horny. Love a darker Anakin.

Hunting the Homeward Light by GreenQueenofClubs Notes: Teen

One of my all-time favorites, I think, and if you haven't read it or haven't reread it recently, you need to! There's so much tension build up and detail put in with such an amazing pay off that I could literally read this fic every month and probably find something new to enjoy all over again. I don't even have strong opinions about mace training anakin, but this fic convinced me it could work and work really well. also poor poor obi-wan </3 his emotional support padawan goes missing </3 but then is found :) as a twunk :)

#asks #obikin #obikin fic recs #me: im gonna focus and write my fic #also me: jk here is 4k of fic recs #i hope you enjoy!! i actually spent like 2 nights on this lol #combing through my history #tried to also spotlight some writers i like a lot but dont really see recc'ed #also psa if you have a tumblr pls link it to it on your ao3 #for kit #my notes are so silly i am sorry #i don't have kit's opinion corner often #so i shoved all my opinions into 4k of nonsense fic review #me: i hope peoplee like my fic list :)#also me: posts at the weirdest times where most people are not online :)

migraine: Anakin x reader

request: Hi! Maybe a comfort one shot where reader has a migraine and anakin takes care of them? I have chronic migraines so a fluffy little fic to read would be so wonderful!! a/n: wasn't sure what type of reader you wanted so i just went with a Jedi reader. word count: 649

Migraines fucking sucked.

They crept onto you, never knowing when they would strike. It started off as a dull throb on your right temple, pulsing in rhythm with your racing heart. Then, a sharp, sudden, stabbing pain radiated from behind your eyes, sending searing waves of discomfort throughout your entire head. The world around you would become a blur, nausea welled up and even the softest of sounds felt like a cacophony of chaos to your eyes.

They could happen anywhere at any time but they especially happened during battles, which obviously wasn't ideal.

If a loud explosion went off or whenever there was excessive rapid fire, you dreaded the consequences they would have on you.

Today was no different; during a campaign in Felucia a loud explosion had gone off in the distance and, though sometimes even worse had no impact on you, a migraine suddenly seized you. You didn't know exactly why this specific explosion had caused it, maybe it was your lack of sleep or your empty stomach. Either way, it had engulfed you in a throbbing agony that felt as relentless as the battle itself forcing to you retreat to your barracks.

You swung the door open to the room and plumped down on your bed, a hand pressed against your eye to soothe the pain. There was nothing you could do but wait. Your master had given you exercises to do when it got bad but you had no energy to do anything right now.

¨Hey, you alright?¨

You opened your left eye and glanced at the door, a smile creeping onto your face despite the agony you were in.

¨Anakin, when you did get here?¨ you groaned as you tried to sit up.

¨Hey, hey.¨ he rushed to your side, hands gently guiding you back down. ¨What's wrong, my love? Lay back down.¨

You did as he asked, hissing as another wave of pain shot through your head. He moved stray strands of hair that had fallen in front of your face and gently kissed your forehead.

¨What can I do?¨ he whispered as he used the force to dim the lights.

¨Just hold me.¨ you said, breathless.

Anakin did as you asked, wrapping his arms around you and gently running his hand up and down your arm, hoping to soothe your pain.

¨Is it getting better?¨ he asked after a while.

You nodded gently, scared that even the smallest movement will call the migraine back.

¨When did you get here?¨ you asked again. He was scheduled to arrive in Felucia next week.

¨Just now. Ahsoka has it covered in Cato Neimoidia so they let me go early.¨ he said in between kisses. ¨I saw you running to your barrack and thought something was wrong. Guess I was right.¨

¨Yeah, you were.¨

Feeling better, you moved over to the side allowing Anakin to crawl into bed with you. He slipped in beside you and you immediately moved to hug him, your bodies clicking into place like puzzle pieces.

¨I wish we could stay like this all day.¨ you groaned against his chest, breathing in his familiar scent.

¨I know, my love.¨ he rubbed his hand up and down your chest, squeezing you against him. ¨I missed you a lot.¨ he whispered into your hair. ¨I couldn't stop thinking about you.¨

You pulled yourself away from his neck and glanced up at him, a smile slowly inching its way onto your face.

¨Yeah?¨ you wiggled your eyebrows, the migraine long gone.

Anakin burst into laughter, the sound almost like a bark.

¨What?¨ you frowned, knowing damn well why he was laughing.

¨I think we have enough time.¨ he smiled as he twisted you around so you lay on the bed, his weight comfortably pressing against you.

Anakin, practicing his basic with children's books: Obi-Wan, what's a duck? Obi-Wan: it's a type of semi-aquatic bird common on many planets in the Core, why do you ask? Anakin: this is the third book that has mentioned bringing one with you when you bathe Obi-Wan: ...huh Anakin: yeah it sounds weird Obi-Wan: Anakin: Obi-Wan: do you want to try it out? Anakin: ...yeah! Ten Years Later Rex: it's time for us to hit the showers, General Anakin: oh good, I saw just what we need earlier, let me go get one real quick! Rex: ...why did the General just run back outside? Kix: ...is he chasing those birds? Anakin, returning triumphant with a confused duck pinned under his arm: I brought us a duck to bathe with! Rex: ...is this a nat-born thing? Anakin: yeah, I guess so! Rex: ...sure, let's try it Two Weeks Later Padme: Ani, why don't we...take a bath together ;) Anankin, excited: that sounds great! I brought a duck back from the campaign with me, give me just a moment to grab it! Padme: what

Prisoner 224

I really loved writing Out of Sync for @fulcrum843's @topwan-obikin fest prompt, but fully intended it to be a one-shot until @somethingsteff started feeding me ideas and, well, I'm limited on free time right now so this is still only a ficlet but I couldn't help myself.

If you don't know the fic, the Council finds out about Obi-Wan and Anakin's relationship and they quit the Order. Anakin punches Palpatine when he insults Obi-Wan and gets sent to jail, and Obi-Wan hurries to hit the Chancellor as well so they can stay together. This also fulfills @ficwip's Hey Sweetheart challenge!

Text under the cut:

“Where are we going?” Anakin demanded. His hands were bound at the wrists in front of him, which didn’t make him look very threatening, but he gave his best glare to the backs of the heads of the troopers escorting him down the hall anyway.

Neither the troopers ahead of him nor the two at his back answered him. Their little group just kept marching along.

“I demand to know where you’re taking me,” Anakin tried, not pausing in his forward march but flexing his fingertips in preparation. He didn’t want to use the Force against them – besides the fact that they were probably just acting on orders from someone higher up the prison management chain of command, he was also pretty sure even something mild like knocking four guards out for a few hours would get his sentence extended and that was the opposite of what he wanted considering Obi-Wan was already slated to get out weeks before he did – but he also was not planning on taking a move to another cell block without putting up some sort of a fight.

He and Obi-Wan were kept apart for most of the day – Anakin in his cell and Obi-Wan in his – but because they were part of the same cell block, they were allowed to take both their exercise hour and their meal break together, Anakin holding Obi-Wan’s hand clasped in his as they jogged around the exercise track in their prison-issued tracksuits and rubbing elbows as they sat side-by-side with their dinner trays (and this only because they’d been told off for trying to sit on each other’s laps instead). But it was still a far sight better than not getting to see him at all, and Anakin hadn’t even done anything wrong (lately) and so really didn’t deserve to be punished like this.

“I want to go back to my cell,” he said.

“One of my batchmates is serving under Commander Cody in the 212th,” the trooper behind Anakin on his right said through his helmet vocoder. “CT-3812.”

“Sure. Punch, right?” Anakin said easily. “Yeah, I know him. But what has that got to do with anything?”

“That’s him,” the trooper agreed. None of the prison guards had ever told Anakin their names, just their badge numbers, although not for lack of asking. This one was one of the supervisors. Some of the younger guys were so green they had five-digit designations. “He’s met General Kenobi a few times.”

“Cool. So have I,” Anakin nearly growled. “That’s who I’m trying to get back to. So if you could just put me back in my cell, that’d be great. Or at least tell me what I’ve done.”

“Punch tells me he’s a real stand-up guy,” the trooper continued, as if Anakin hadn’t spoken. “Always makes sure his men have enough to eat. Doesn’t take unnecessary risks. That sort of thing.”

They rounded a corner. Anakin was starting to get desperate. “Just tell me where we’re going,” he practically begged. “I can call in a couple of favors and get myself reassigned back to Obi-Wan’s floor”-

“Punch also said,” the trooper on Anakin’s right said, so loudly he was almost shouting in Anakin’s ear, “that one time you and your troops joined up with their battalion, you threw yourself in front of a blazer bomb. Saved the lives of fifteen men.”

Anakin had done that enough times that that didn’t really narrow it down for him. “Which campaign?” he asked, but the trooper ignored him yet again, which seemed rude, considering he’d started the conversation in the first place.

A commlink chirped – Anakin instinctively looked to his own belt before remembering he didn’t wear one anymore – and one of the troopers at the front of their procession answered it.

“We’re ready for you, Sergeant,” the voice on the other end said.

“Copy,” the man said, replacing the device on his belt.

“Well, I’m not ready,” Anakin said, and he stopped walking. The troopers at his back nearly ran into him. “I’m not going any further without an explanation. If you can’t give me that, then you can just put me back in my cell, because” –

“We do regular maintenance, on all the cells,” one of the troopers injected, talking over the tail end of Anakin’s sentence. “Routine cleaning, things like that. Check that the water pipes are functioning properly, do a little light dusting…”

“I don’t care if my cell is clean or not,” Anakin hissed. “You can skip mine for the next five months if you want. Or let me do it myself. Is that the problem? Just give me the tools and leave me alone. If you’re worried I’m going to break out, I promise I won’t. As long as you’ve got Obi-Wan here I’m, like, the opposite of a flight risk.”

“It might take, say, three hours to finish the whole floor, wouldn’t you say?” the trooper on Anakin’s left asked the trooper on Anakin’s right.

“Maybe as many as four,” he responded.

“And we do these sorts of rounds every other week,” the first one continued.

“What’s that got to do with anything?” Anakin demanded.

“If you’d just wait right in here, Prisoner 224,” the trooper who was friends with Punch said, and nudged Anakin in the back with the butt of his rifle.

“I told you; I’m not going. And you’re bluffing. You won’t shoot me.”

“That’s true,” the trooper admitted. “I’m not. What I am going to do is count to thirty, and by the time I get to the end, you’re going to decide to go, all on your own.”

“Ha,” Anakin said. “Like hell I am. What on earth do you think would make me” –

“Here we are, sir,” another of the troopers said, and he punched the button to release the door guard in front of one of the cells. He was wearing a bucket, but he somehow seemed to be able to stare straight into Anakin’s eyes anyway. “Four hours, every other week,” he repeated slowly, enunciating very clearly.

“I don’t care how clean it is,” Anakin insisted, just as he was very unceremoniously shoved forward into the new cell he absolutely did not want to be in –

“Oh. Hello, sweetheart,” Obi-Wan said, sitting up from where he’d been lying on his back across his bunk, his arms crossed behind his head. “Fancy seeing you here.”

“What” – Anakin stammered as the door guard slammed down behind him, locking him in. Locking him into Obi-Wan’s cell. With Obi-Wan.

Anakin opened his mouth. Shut it. Opened it again. The binders around his wrists unlocked and fell to the floor with a clatter. “Send Punch my regards,” he said, without turning his head. He and Obi-Wan hadn’t stopped staring into one another’s eyes from the moment they’d faced one another. Obi-Wan grinned. Anakin grinned back.

“Will do, sir,” his friend said jovially, but Anakin missed hearing him as he launched himself at Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan, laughing, caught him and lowered him down onto his bunk.

“Did I just hear you say something about four hours?” Obi-Wan asked mischievously, one eyebrow raising into a verbal question mark.

“Shut up and kiss me,” Anakin said, and Obi-Wan did.

AU where Anakin drops out of training halfway through his Padawanship and starts a mechanic shop of his own. This, predictably, saves the galaxy.

Because let's be real, he would be insanely good at it. This leads to several patents running under his name by the time he is 18, including but not limited to

A very easy and cheap to build scanner that *can* be used for detecting slave chips (the Hutts are Not Amused by the skyrocketing number of freedom trail escapees. There is a bounty on his head because he is silently donating a lot of his money to the people organizing said freedom trails. Anakin is aware of this but doesn't let it show. It is a badge of honor, but not one everyone knows how to read. The people who do know know either way.)

a little addition to hyperspace antennae bc he wanted!! to talk to!! his mother!! more often!! that coincidentally completely revolutionized military communication (Anakin is unaware of this)

some type of hyperspace engine modification just because ships and space travel are cool. This also starts to revolutionise research in that area; "The Force told me I could" may not be a valid basis for a scientific project, but "How the kriff does that mechanic DO THAT" sure is

Probably some lightsaber modifications bc come. On. There's no way he wouldn't find a way to improve those. (In the ensuing legal battle, it is noted that the construction and possession of lightsabers is no longer prohibited to the general public. Some Jedi Shadows slip away and do some investigating into when exactly that was changed. And by whom.)

He can’t buy his mother back because even though he has the money now, Watto won't sell her in the hopes of extorting him with her welfare. Anakin is this close to hiring a bounty hunter to deal with this and rescue his mum by himself. Only is Shmi happily busy directing her fellow slaves to operation centers and has no intention of stopping by leaving the planet ("Mum, don't you always say the true tragedy in the galaxy is that nobody helps each other?" Yeah, that woman is SO organizing the resistance against the Hutts.)

While the Jedi aren't really allowed to help because of politics, a good deal of them (the chaotic good alignment faction, i.e. Quinlan Vos & Company) help whenever they can, brokering peace with the original natives (Tuskens and Jawas) to facilitate escape through the desert and prepare an interim government for the inevitable slave/native revolt against the hutts. The council turns a blind eye to this, because a) they know it's the right thing to do and b) the lightsaber permit headache.

It's up to you which faction Obi-Wan belongs to.

The Techno Union is extremely unhappy about their monopoly on, well, technology being broken. This leads to some more legal battles that ... idk, I didn’t think this through, but they lose. Badly, and this proceeds to drag the Banking Clan and Trade Federation down with them as further investigations are opened.

Padmé delightedly pounces on the opportunity to drag all of them down and get revenge on Nute Gunray; she and Anakin make a magnificent team by combining political/legal and technical/market expertise into hell of a headache for the people who would otherwise fund the Separatists. There may or may not be a passionate kiss over some legal evidence and spare parts.

Sidious, who had so far been trying to push all the pieces into position he will need for the Clone Wars while keeping Anakin friendly to him and slowly building public support, now has his hands full juggling a) the lightsaber construction legislature investigation from the Jedi, of which they keep him duly informed (stressful), b) Anakin hyperfixating on mechanics so badly he hardly has time to spiral, never mind build up resentment against the Jedi, c) the Techno Union, the Banking Clans and the Trade Federation slowly crumbling under the combined weight of Skywalker being stubborn, Amidala campaigning and R2 slicing some pretty damning evidence, taking the financial backing for the droid army with them; d) what do you mean, the attempt on Shmi Skywalker's life was thwarted by a random Jedi "passing through" and several hundred newly freed slaves?? Since when did the Outer Rim start getting democratic??, e) with the slow, but steady dismantling of the three most powerful enterprises in the Republic, the main reasons for secession (Republic inefficiency, corruption, and corporate greed using monopolies to choke smaller planets into financial ruin and dependency) slowly falling away, the reasons for a war also fade into nothingness and the Republic returns to functionality.

By that time, the Jedi Shadows, led by Mace Windu (who traced the lightsaber construction thing) and the Jedi Slave Freeers (who traced the attempt on Shmi's life) meet up in front of the chancellor's office like the spidermen meme, down to kill a chancellor for completely different but both very valid reasons.

Upon opening the door, they find Padmé Amidala with a Ysalamiri lizard and a blaster. The unexploded (because Force-blocked) body of the Chancellor is lying in front of her, three smoking holes in his chest (he tried to blackmail her into leaving the Techno Union alone by way of her affair with Anakin (that she, as a Senator from Naboo, is not allowed to have). She brought the lizard without knowing it blocked the Force, but she got it as a gift from Anakin, who told her it would keep her safe if ...).

Mace Windu deactivates his lightsaber and tells Padmé with a straight face to drop the gun. There might be fingerprints on it that could lead to the culprit.

#Credits roll #After the Kaminoans contact the Republic in annoyance about their ordered army they haven't picked up #They instantly get sued for human rights violations #The clones are depending on personal preference integrated into the Jedi Service Corps or Mandalore #Obi-Wan is chosen for the negotiations over citizenship with Duchess Kryze.

Hiya! I hope you're doing well. I made the Hottest Star Wars Man Poll, so when your posts about it were brought to my attention, I felt I should probably reach out.

The polls are just for fun. I make them with no agenda, and I run them with no agenda. I've received messages talking about bots before, but I never wanted to get into the weeds about it.

However, as the discussion about bots is bigger than I realized, I guess now is as good a time as any to speak about it:

My opinion is that the spikes in Hux votes are a mere side-effect of the poll being passed around the internet and bringing in new voters in droves. As your Anon mentioned, @tomatette's edits might's also pulled in waves of people who voted for Hux out of fidelity to her.

I'm fine with the campaigning. As long as the vote is ultimately achieved by a human clicking on the vote themselves, it's alright by me. Hell, I always reblog 'propaganda' I particularly like, and I even requested some Anakin propaganda when he was in his elimination round. It's all fun and games to me.

However.

If anyone is using bots, I'm asking nicely for them to please stop. I'm going to pull the 'I'm not mad, I'm disappointed' card on anyone botting. The polls are all strictly unserious things, so I hope that nobody is taking them too seriously.

Hi there! Sorry the nonsense has reached you, honestly lmao. I just wanted to make a post cause I was upset about the possibility (and, as I've said, I don't have rock solid proof, just suspicions based on observations by myself and others, so like. If people don't agree with me, that's fine, it's all good - I just wanted to speak out in case it was happening like, as a kyluxer, I don't want people to think that if someone is botting, that's something we as a fandom are chill with). I honestly didn't expect it to get quite this much attention either but here we are. I also want to make it clear to both you and my followers that I don't put any blame of anything on you - you're just making fun polls and that's it, you're not responsible for what people do or what drama may arise

I do agree it's possible someone just got a bunch of people to vote within a small window of time, like anything is possible, always is. I just feel like some of the increases I saw, observations from others, and things I've heard are enough to warrant suspicion. If people do or do not agree that there's a reason to think it happened, that's their choice and I'm not going to insist that my word is law and they have to believe me. I don't have receipts, I was just expressing myself and I do appreciate amicable discussion even if my mind has not been changed as of yet

But yeah I agree, propaganda and making funny edits and posts - that's not at all what I was referring to in terms of 'cheating', but somewhere it seems that got mentioned in the discussion? (3 separate people have brought this up to me lmao, like thinking I'm accusing them but I am NOT and no one better be out there accusing them either without actual evidence beyond 'oh you posted about it' cause that's a shitty thing to do) and I also want to make it clear I am not against propaganda fun. That's all just part of it. If people are mad about that, that's their problem and they should use blacklist more liberally. And if people are saying I'm saying that, then those people are either lying or are at 'how dare you say we should piss on the poor' levels of reading comprehension lmao

But yeah, I'll post this publicly, but let me know if you want it taken down and I'll delete it - I appreciate you reaching out and I'm sorry you had to deal with this, that was definitely not my intent when I made the post. I just wanted the botting, if it is indeed happening (and if it's not, all the better, I am just not yet convinced it didn't happen), to stop

And lastly, because of some of the DMs I've received: if you, the person reading this (not you the asker), are sending hate or harassment to people based on my post, FUCKING STOP IT RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, you're no better than the bad actors I was initially referring to

#I'm also gonna start tagging these with #poll drama #cause I didn't think it would escalate to quite this level #but anyway yeah here is the words from the poll runner themselves #and do not fucking be mean to people on my goddamn behalf ffs #never EVER do that #ask tag #jessequinnfirstofhername #text #long post #misc

I have another!

🤍 for Cody/ Kix

Sorry it took so long! I'm getting to everything in my askbox slowly, I promise!

Anyway, 🤍 kiss at the wedding / milestone.

This is maybe a little less what we were going for, but I was really feeling this scenario and ran with it. (Don't worry, there's still smooches, lmao!)

“It is tradition that the bride’s father walks her down the aisle,” General Obi-Wan Kenobi said wistfully over the rim of his teacup and stroked his beard thoughtfully.

“Not to point out the obvious, General, but I don’t think either of us would be considered a bride,” Commander Cody countered over his own cup. “Not to mention, we’re clones, Sir. We don’t exactly have parents.”

He trailed off, staring into his black tea and thinking he might like it with more milk. “The closest any of us really came to having someone to fall back on is maybe a commanding officer, or our Generals.”

Obi-Wan smirked. “Do you consider me a father figure, Cody?”

Cody chuckled off his quickly rising blush and poured a generous amount of milk into the tea before tasting it again. Good, but it needed something else. Honey, perhaps. “I…perhaps, in a sense. You were a better role model than the Kaminoans, if nothing else, but I don’t think General Skywalker is father material, if you catch my drift.”

The General laughed, setting his cup down and sliding the honey over to his Commander. “I see what you mean. Perhaps not, but if asked, he would do it with enthusiasm.”

Shaking his head, Cody took the honey, and again, used a generous amount to sweeten it. “I don’t doubt that, but I don’t see that it’s necessary for this. We clones are far from traditional in most cases.”

“Be that as it may, I know Kix. He may be a level head in the field or on duty, but he likes to be as integrated as possible in his surroundings,” Obi-Wan commented and sat back in his seat, crossing his arms. “The war is over, Cody. Clone rights are being fought for in the Senate as we speak, with Senator Chuchi heading the campaign. She is young, but I believe with enough support, there will be tremendous compensation for the men, including you and Kix. He’ll want a home, I’m sure. Somewhere to settle down and learn who you are outside of the war wouldn’t be a bad idea.”

Cody sighed, nodding. “I know, and he does, and it’s what he deserves.”

“What you both deserve,” Obi-Wan corrected. “You both fought in the war, and you both made it out. A wedding is something to celebrate. Whatever the two of you decide, I want you to know that you will have mine and Anakin’s full support, as your former Generals, and as friends.”

A bright smile tugged on Cody’s lips, both from Obi-Wan’s words and finding the perfect mix of milk and honey to make this tea perfect. He was right, after all. Kix would want to follow at least some of the traditions of a nat-born wedding. Maybe General Skywalker wasn’t the best choice, but…

“Walk him…down the aisle?”

“It’s a nat-born tradition,” Cody explained. “Like, someone who cares about him is trusting him to another to take care of him.”

Across from Cody, Rex smirked. “I already trusted you with him, and here you are, days from your wedding. You made sure he made it to the end of the war.”

Cody shook his head. “I did what I could when we were stationed together, but he was in Torrent Company, Rex. He is one of yours. You kept him safe when I couldn’t.”

A moment of silence passed between them. The same couldn’t be said for some of their men, but they’d done their best over the years. After barely any more consideration, Rex sighed.

“Yeah, of course I will, if that’s what he wants.”

Being the Marshal Commander came with perks. For starters, his General was Obi-Wan Kenobi, the master negotiator who had a way with words that allowed their ceremony to take place just outside the Jedi temple. The veranda was full of men from both battalions, and several star cruisers hovered nearby to get an overhead view.

The only view that mattered, however, was the vision of Kix in a tailored white jacket and fitted collared shirt, a cobalt blue tie, and white dress slacks. His lightning bolts were freshly shorn into his hair, and Rex stood proudly beside him, arms hooked together as he escorted his soon-to-be husband down the path with 212th and 501st men on either side.

“Nervous?” Obi-Wan asked, grinning ear to ear at his Commander as he bounced on his heels. It was rare that Cody was so excited for anything that wasn’t fisticuffs with a battle droid, but Kix just seemed to bring out a side of him that so few got to see. They locked eyes, and suddenly Kix was all he could see. Kix was everything. His past, present, and future were all in the hands of the man that was smiling back at him as he approached.

“To be honest, General, I’ve never felt more alive.”

As Kix and Rex came to a stop beside him, Rex grinned at his Chief Medical Officer and hugged him tightly before turning to Cody and doing the same.

“I did my duty,” Rex whispered with a smile. “Now, it’s your turn. Keep him safe.”

“I promise,” Cody whispered back, and held Rex a second longer before letting him join the rest of his rowdy group right in front.

Kix’s cheeks were painted a gorgeous shade of red that looked stunning against the blue accents on him, and Cody couldn’t help himself. Obi-Wan had said that, traditionally, you had to exchange vows before you kissed your bride, but Kix was no bride, and well, maybe clones needed to make a tradition of their own.

Strong arms pulled Kix flush, and their lips met with a surge of excitement and passion that could have electrified an entire battalion of droids. Finally, it all had come down to this point in time, this moment, this kiss. He felt Kix laugh into his mouth, but not pull away.

Whatever happened from this day on, as long as he had Kix, he could take on the entire galaxy a hundred times over.

Unbeknownst

rex x f!Jedi!reader

word count: 960

warnings: mentions of alcohol and kissing. (let me know if you spot any others).

Rex doesn't know why he agreed to join the other clone commanders and captains at 79's. He should be filling out the reports, but Cody practically begged him to come along.

"Come on Rex, join us. Have some fun with us and live a little. Maybe you'll find some nice to spend time night with".

Rex tried to say no, but Cody threatened to pull rank if he didn't join and relax a little.

"This isn't relaxing" Rex thought to himself as he and the others were sat at one of the booths.

He can hear one of the others talking about this humours incident that happend on their last campaign, but he isn't really paying attention. Until he hears Wolffe say "Isn't that Y/N, what's she doing here?"

This caught Rex's attention. Y/N was the general of the 501st alongside Anakin Skywalker. The council said that there weren't any other battalions ready for a new general, but Y/N told Rex the real reason. Apparently master Windu thought Anakin could use more help, "two heads are better than one".

Rex wasn't complaining though. He might have a soft spot for the second general, not that he'd ever admit it.

Unbeknownst to him, Cody suspects Rex has feelings for General Y/N. Hence the reason he insisted Rex join them, he knew she'd be here tonight.

"Looks like she's with the 501st boys tonight. Did you know she was gonna be here Rex?" Fox asked.

"No, I didn't". Rex said while struggling to keep his gaze away from Y/N.

The others went back to to their conversations, but Rex just couldn't keep his gaze from her. "Maker why is she here" he thought to himself.

At that moment Y/N caught his gaze and smiled at him. Rex became flushed as all these feelings within him increased, and so he turned away and downed his drink. What he didn't realise is that Y/N was now in the same predicament as Rex had just been in. She couldn't tear her gaze from him.

Rex tried to subtlety glance back at Y/N, but quickly shied away as he noticed her gazing at him. She then went back to talking with the 501st boys, but not without glancing occasionally at Rex.

Rex desperately tried to focus on the conversation happening at his booth in hopes he'd be able to distract himself from the butterflies and the thought of Y/N. Unfortunately Cody noticed Rex's flushed face. "Everything ok Rex?"

"Yeah, yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Rex hastily said. "I'm gonna go out for a bit, get some air" he said.

He quickly got up and headed for the exit. His departure didn't go unnoticed by Y/N though.

As Rex was breathing in the night air, and trying to relax, he heard footsteps approaching him. "Cody, I said I'm fine, I just needed some air".

"I'm not Cody. Are you ok Rex? I was worried when I saw you quickly leave."

He was surprised when he heard her soft voice instead of Cody. He looked up and noticed she was quite close, not too close, but close enough.

"Oh, hey Y/N. Fancy seeing you here. I'm ok". Rex said while awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.

"You're looking a little flustered".

"Probably the drink I had. Shouldn't have downed it all in one go I suppose" At this point it felt like the butterflies in his stomach were doing somersaults.

She chucked in response. "What's got you all worked up then? I've never seen you like this".

"I guess there isn't really any way to get around this". He thought to himself. "I could just shrug it off".

Rex shook his head. "It's nothing, not something you can really help with. I'm sorry". He then started walking back to the bar when he felt her grab his hand.

"You know I'm a Jedi, and you know that I can sense when you're lying to me. Please be honest with me Rex". There's a hint of desperation in her voice, but he can't be sure.

He looks over his shoulder at her, and then slowly turns around. His breath hitches when he sees her intertwine their fingers.

"It's me isn't it. You seemed fine before you noticed me". There was a pause as they both sighed.

"Do you like me Rex? And I don't just mean as friends or colleagues, but as more than friends? I...I like you Rex, and I don't know, I feel as if you might like me back". She let's go of his hand and starts pacing. "Your not saying anything. I got it wrong didn't I. You don't like me back. Oh kriff what have I done!".

She keeps on rambling, and doesn't notice the look of shock on his face. Rex is astounded, "there's no way she likes me, right?" Then again, thinking about all the encounters that they've had, all the subtle touches to the arm and all the stolen glances. Had he really been blind enough to think that she didn't like him in that way.

He notices that she's still rambling and looks like she's on the verge of tears. He decides to take a leap of faith. He grabs get her face and presses his lips against hers.

She moans in surprise, and Rex quickly pulls away. "You like me Y/N, as in more than just friends?"

She smiles, still surprised by the kiss. "Yes, I have for quite some time."

Rex smiles in return before glancing at her lips again. "Can we do that again? Kiss again I mean". He asks while rubbing his neck sheepishly.

Y/N chuckles in response before gently grabbing his face for another kiss.

A/N: Hey, I hope you enjoyed this. I haven't posted in awhile, but I do plan on becoming more active (hopefully) and writing more fics :).

have you ever gone through your drafts and found something that made you cry, not because it was good or well written or any of that but because you remember. you remember what life was like. you remember how the comments your friends left you made you feel, and you just want to hug that little girl who wrote that fic and tell her things will get better.

yeah so this is that fic @ljbrary and @ashgryff left a bunch of comments on it even though it was probably kinda terrible fic but i love them so much and i want to hug them. so to ash and lily, ily, i found this and cried a little and want you to know that you are loved and even if we aren't the same teenagers who wrote bad fic and shared it with each other because we were too afraid to share it to the world, we can still appreciate those kids who loved each other and didn't quite know how to live.

that was all very deep for a fic about pizza, but here's some emotional whiplash for you <3

“I really want pizza right now, think it’s open?”

Obi-Wan had made the comment casually, in passing as he guided his new Padawan down the temple hallways.

Little did he know what he was in for.

“What’s pizza?”

It occurred to him suddenly, that Anakin had come from a planet where good food included gamey meat and dry rations. And that this child had never experienced what must be the staple in anyone’s childhood: a trip to a pizza place.

“I guess I know where we’re going for dinner.”

With a smile he hadn’t really seen on himself in a while, Obi-Wan led Anakin down the temple steps and to the nearest diner that might sell pizza.

========

“I really want pizza right now, think it’s open?”

If he thought Anakin was a handful before, he was certain of the fact now.

“Now isn’t really the time,” Obi-Wan responded, walking the hallways as they came back late from a mission. Frankly, he just wanted to sleep, even though he was already certain he wouldn’t get any. Watching his former apprentice almost lose his life half a dozen times in as many days was enough to make a man stay awake.

But that was the key, wasn’t it? He was awake either way. And Anakin knew it.

Obi-Wan eyed the now-knight who was asking his former master for pizza, of all things. It was one of his fondest memories, though, watching the look on the boy’s face when he took a bite of the ‘delicacy’ for the first time.

“You know you want to,” Anakin said with the look that reminded him so perfectly of the teenager he had become accustomed to before the war.

“I’m going to regret this.”

And they walked out the temple doors, to where a greasy diner was waiting.

(It was worth it. He didn’t regret it.

Because time spent at a pizza parlor with Anakin was still time spent with Anakin. And he didn’t know how much more of that he’d get.)

========

“I really want pizza right now, think it’s open?”

Sometimes he wondered how he ever survived raising Anakin and lived to do it again. Because Ahsoka seemed to test him. Not always in temper; in fact, not often in temper. She had one, but unlike Anakin she knew how to control it. No, it was the ideas that made him sigh, like getting pizza at what was much later than either of them should even be awake.

Remind me again why we gave Anakin a Padawan?

An imprintable, immature child who learned everything she saw. But apparently not poetry. He’d tried. “Padawan, it’s two in the morning.”

“So?”

Yes, those were the kinds of comments that tested him.

“I have many things I could say right now,” Obi-Wan responded with a grunt as he stood, abandoning the reports they had both agreed to finish that night before they realized they had an entire extra stack of them from their most recent campaigns.

“If ‘let’s go get pizza’ isn’t one of them then I’ve probably stopped listening.” Ahsoka leaned back in her chair. “No offense, obviously.”

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes. “Obviously.”

Although, he couldn’t deny the fact that he would do just about anything to stay awake right then. And pizza didn’t sound awful.

So with a sigh, he grabbed his robe.

“Don’t tell Anakin.”

Her smile lit up as she crossed the room, silently thanking him in the only way she knew how; with a hug that couldn’t reach above his shoulders. It made him laugh and reminded him it was all worth it.

========

Obi-Wan Kenobi was alone.

He had little Luke, a presence so bright in the force it was a wonder Obi-Wan had held himself together, and the bartender in Mos Eisley had gotten pretty familiar with him, but they didn’t make the loneliness go away. It wasn’t a matter of people, it was a matter of presence.

Loneliness was not healed by being around anyone and everyone. It was healed by gentle hands and whispered words. It could not be healed by a little boy he rarely saw or a bartender that he saw too much of.

And maybe she didn’t heal it. But when Ahsoka came knocking on his door at such a late hour, he sure felt better than he had in a… long time.

“I really want pizza right now, think it’s open?”

The words tore a watery laugh from his throat as he flung his arms around the girl- woman. The woman. It had been too many years for her to be considered the girl he had become accustomed to. The girl who loved pizza (and still did). The girl apprenticed to Anakin, but the lines had become so blurred it hardly mattered anymore. Some said she had two masters and she never argued.

Now she had none. But she still had Obi-Wan. And he wouldn’t leave her.

“I have never seen anywhere that sells pizza on Tatooine,” He answered as they hugged. “But I’m willing to look.”

For you. Anything for you.

I don't know what schedules are, so in honor of Chapter One of YCDHN being posted, it's time for something I have been waiting for SO LONG to give more details about my process about.

WHAT IS A NONAGON AND WHAT DOES IT DO?

So given that this entire fic series is based entirely on “but what if” and I had a lot of specific theories about where the Aeor arc was going, when it came time to decide what to do with Lucien, I leaned on those theories a bit when building this alternate take.

Now normally when you have an arrogant asshole dealing with Eldritch Beings such as Lucien, you end up in a scenario where he’s probably going to get betrayed or just fucking eaten by the damn things, so I kinda expected that was where it was going- that he’d get consumed somehow and the Nein would have to rescue his dumb ass and yada yada yada they’d get Mollucien out of this somehow, because at that point I didn’t know the campaign was ending and I wanted purple tiefling AND Caduceus and just assumed that Matt would play the Mollucien as an NPC since… Lucien memories.

That did not happen! Obviously! And I love what did happen, because the Dragon kicking the Big Bad’s teeth in and becoming the Big Bad, himself, is an awesome trope. BUT as a fanfic writer, I am often preoccupied with what could have been, and therefore when I started drafting out OUADYA as a two-part story (since originally it was going to leave Lucien’s fate and the Somnovem ambiguous and just focus on the Creedemption part of the narrative, and that aspect of it was removed EXTREMELY early, like… Hupperdook arc early), I knew that no matter what else happened the Somnovem were going to be the final bosses and therefore they needed to be built up A LOT more menacing than they were in canon since they were kinda, through circumstances (probably because of the absence of Molly to torment), not as massively terrifying as they could have been within canon.

So to do that, we have their constant hassling of Molly, but then there’s Lucien, too. And that’s when I started thinking about what exactly IS a Nonagon and why did Lucien succeed where the previous guy got completely effed up and consumed? And how do we tie the idea that Lucien is probably Ruidus-Born and Fate-Touched into it (and again this was a fucking year before the Lucien book came out)?

So I built my little Anakin Skywalker narrative- Lucien was, through some insane alignment of the cosmos, born specifically to deal, for good or for ill, with the Somnovem. That’s why he has the same fucking red eyes- miss me with anyone telling me that isn’t significant somehow. Now he wasn’t born specifically to be their herald, but he was built with a soul/mind strong enough to handle them or combat them. If he’d taken Sehanine’s hand (as shown in there’s something divine in the way screams can sound), he would have ended up as her Champion- she’s the Lady of Dreams, so she’s the one in a position MOST suited to fighting them. He didn’t, so that put him on the path to either being subjugated or subjugating them.

The book definitely agrees with my belief that the Somnovem saw him as a pet (Culpasi), an unpaid intern (half of them), and the punkass teenage getaway driver who needs to stop questioning the adult criminals and drive the fucking bus already (the other half), though the book was also VERY OBVIOUS about them letting him fucking know that, which… Yeah. Then again, the book also skipped over the two years he was in the Astral Sea to the point where it looks like it never happened, so maybe they had to speedrun his dawning realization that these assholes may love him, but he’s still their chattel slave bitch.

Since the Astral Sea field trip IS a massively important part to Lucien’s narrative IN ACTUAL CANON AND IN MY VERSION OF IT, I had to construct what that meant for a Lucien who can’t leave, who isn’t and can never get out of his situation and is rapidly losing hope and sanity. I also had to figure out a reason for Molly to even fucking want to get him out and therefore the linchpin thing came about.

And the second the word “linchpin” entered my narrative, I realized I had just built the Soul King again.

But before I get into WHAT THAT NONAGON DO and how it relates to the shift in power dynamics within Cognouza, let me… fucking explain the Soul King.

The Soul King is the thing (and I say thing not to be dismissive or sarcastic but because it is a fucking thing in all reasonable sense of the word and Urahara, who is about as much as as fantasy realm atheist as you can get calls it that) that controls the balance of souls in Soul Society in Bleach. Without it, existence falls apart and all the different worlds of the dead and the world of the living would collapse in on themselves (sound familiar). He has zero power in the governing body of any realm, no voice, and is honestly, basically a torso and a head sealed up in a damn vault somewhere, and everyone is like “yeah the Soul King is fucking great” without giving a single damn about who he is or ever talking about how they fucking sealed him in the vault so he wouldn’t one day destroy them because some of his fucking limbs went out and caused problems on purpose.

(also fun fact- the Soul King’s power manifests as eyeball creatures that look like this.)

Basically what this means for the Nonagon is that with Lucien very very close by as in RIGHT THERE IN THE AETHER CRUX, the Somnovem can move more independently, have a stronger since of self, and can cooperate better with one another. Without him, they’re in the slop, biting each other, and unable to reason. The two years Lucien spent where they were mostly backbiting and annoying him were the worst of it, but after those two years things started to solidify and then Molly died and the Moonweaver’s seals on the eyes broke and suddenly they have TWO Nonagons and an actual fucking goal to work towards and aren’t just using Lucien as a sounding board and a free brain to solve problems for them.

Any free mind can be of use to the Somnovem, but only the True Nonagon (aka Lucien) is capable of sustaining them and managing to hold up the weight of Cognouza’s bullshit without going mad and crumbling into the void. That doesn’t make it easy and left to this bullshit, Lucien would ultimately… Become a fucking soul in a vault capable of regulating the flow of information throughout Cognouza so it can goddamn function. He would lose his identity entirely. That’s what they want. That’s what he’s been risking happening by trying to put out a fire inside of the house, and the Somnovem have stopped playing the coddling masters and have brought out the lash now that he’s not even pretending to follow their lead.

To them, he has always been an object- an object they very much love and adore and worship and want to keep happy so he does what he’s supposed to do without any of them having to cause him harm (because you don’t want to abuse your cute little pet), but an object. If he isn’t going to fall into line, then that needs to be fixed and that’s where we’re picking up at the start of YCDHN- what happens when Lucien tries his big subjugation monologue in a situation where it’s very much NOT “I’m not stuck in here with you, you’re stuck in here with me” because at any point the Somnovem could have forced him to obey and Lucien’s arrogance just chose to believe that wasn’t an active choice they were making. He believed they wouldn’t try to cause him harm because they needed him and they worship him, and never thought oh shit, these are wizards they will do whatever they can to get what they want.

SO GOOD TIMES, AMIRITE??

please please tell us how Obi-Wan finds out he has a "campaign manager" 🙏

im SO glad you asked currently the plan is that one of the doors anakin knocks on is either quinlan vos or satine kryze and so when anakin is like do you care about local politics/do you know who obi-wan kenobi is and would you vote for him in the upcoming election, they're like 'boy, do i know who obi-wan kenobi is'

and they're like 'wait i didn't realize obi-wan was hiring for his campaign re-election?' and anakin is like 'wait people get paid for this shit? i've been doing it for free'

and they're like 'wait. you've been canvassing for obi-wan kenobi?'

and anakin is like (lying) 'yeah im getting into politics for my university class here's my flyer of information as to why you should vote for obi-wan kenobi'

and its clearly made in ms paint and features a picture of a sweaty obi-wan kenobi post hot yoga class that is just him in sweaty leggings and a thin shirt looking very handsome and then him during a council debate looking even more handsome with his sleeves rolled up and glasses on and hair dishevelled and quinlan or satine is like....'wait are you the reason obi-wan has been recognized in the grocery store three times in the last week???'

and anakin is like maybe idk i guess?

and they're like stay right here actually i need to. make a call.

and they have a call and then obi-wan either comes tearing into the house or his campaign sends anakin an email requesting his presence at the city council's office where obi-wan gives him a please cease and desist order

and anakin says no absolutely not and then the feud begins

and yes, obi-wan has been asked to autograph the flyer anakin made with the hot yoga pictures. anakin prints 100 more.

#asks #body politic au #obi-wan is like (to his lawyer) is this allowed???#and his lawyer is like 'you are a public figure so. yes. it's weird. but it's allowed'#obikin

Hello! I've been following you for a little while now and I'm curious about something I see pop up in your feed every so often: is there a serious conflict online about the jedi order being good or evil? I just watched the prequels for the first time recently and I never considered them as bad, just human. I always viewed the conflict, especially in ROTS, as multiple "shades" of good (ex: the Jedi council are wary of Anakin because he has the potential to be dangerous while Padme wants to save him because she loves him, but neither are inherently evil), and that it just added to the whole tragedy. Do you know a little more about this? (Btw, no pressure to answer, opinions on social media are scary! I'm just very new to the fandom and you seem pretty level headed and more seasoned than me :))

Hi anon! Opinions on social media can absolutely be scary, but this blog isn’t scary, so don’t worry!

Ah, I guess you could say I’ve got some seasoning here lol. Welcome to the Star Wars fandom, watch for the landmines.

To be 100% clear and upfront, there is no conflict in canon at all about their morality: they are good guys working and giving everything they have for goodness. They are shown to be heroes time and time again and are only ever shown to be “iffy” by narrators who are known to be untrustworthy, “gray,” or straight up evil in the first place. Fandom is different. There is absolutely conflict, it’s a spectrum from what I’ve seen, and some of the “hot takes” are rancid.

Yeah, I’ve been here for a while, and unfortunately many people believe the Jedi are oppressive child stealers (literally been refuted in canon about a million times; literally the main argument used against them). @monjustmon and @gffa have spoken about this in great length in the past. Personally, I think it comes from people stanning groups of people who have historically rivaled the Jedi and looking for excuses to call their favs “good” and their antagonists “flawed”. (Problematic favs are great, just please accept that doesn’t make them good).

To start, I wouldn’t call the Jedi council acting the way they did with Anakin as shades of good, but just them acting as they should have in an unprecedented and potentially dangerous situation. Anakin was sus, 100%, no ifs, ands, or buts. Them being cautious about what they let him do in a galactic war makes sense (especially considering that when he was out of Obi-Wan’s direct line of sight he murdered an entire village, including the children and got married to a senator. He also had a major hand in the genocide of his people not too long after).

The conflict itself was initiated, fueled, and ended by the sith. The skirmishes? The sith. The battles and slaughterings? The slavery rings? The sith. The stolen children? The sith! The genocide of a peaceful culture? The sith! Every slanderous campaign and the growing, cultivated attitude of the Jedi in the period leading up to and during the war was because of palpatine and his little followers.

I don’t want to get too into it in case this isn’t what you were expecting (come back to my inbox if you want any clarifications or anything, anon!), I just think it’s important that the fandom remembers to take a step back and look at it from an objective point of view.

Thanks for the ask, anon!

#thanks for the ask anon!#and welcome to the fandom!#my thoughts are a little jumbled but I’m tired:’)#Jedi council #star wars #ask #anon #tempo talks

#like anakin carries newly de-aged ahsoka onto the resolute and every clone in a 1mile radius goes

My Top Posts in 2022:

Ok I don’t know what it is, but Howzer looks so much like Rex. I know you probably are all like ‘well no shit they are clones’ but if u look at like Rex and Fives side by side THEY BARELY LOOK ALIKE. Same with Rex and Jesse and everyone else, but u put Howzer and Rex next to each other and they look so alike. Like I’ll see edits and the top bit of Howzer gorgeous hair is cut off so u just see the buzzed sides and I have to do a double take because for a second I think it’s Rex.

These are all from the Umbara arc so they all have the same design model (Rex, Fives, Jesse, Hardcase)

I think it’s hilarious that we are all in agreement that the CC batch of Cody, Wolffe, Bly, Fox, and Ponds adopted Rex because his old batch was a bunch of assholes

Clone Wars Headcannons

All over the place but yeah enjoy

Ahsoka will let her men test out pick up lines before shore leave and give them tips on how to better pick up girls

Ahsoka picked up her eye rolling habit from Wolffe

Fives and Echo refer to Rex as “oh captain my captain” (Rex is very annoyed)

Clone troopers sleep better when they cuddle up with someone

Anakin has given Ahsoka and many of his men heart attacks when he randomly removes his prosthetic hand

There are painted line of the Resolutes floor near the medical bays to mark how far troopers have made it when they attempt to escape the medics

This usually ends with the medics full body tackling their vod and occasionally their Jedi

Hardcase has the furthest mark with Fives very near behind him

Much to Wolffe’s dismay young animals love to imprint of him during campaigns, he says he hates it but Sinker once saw Wolffe carrying around a baby loth cat wrapped in one of his blankets

Rex is a natural blonde due to a mutation and I will die on this hill

Fox and Wolffe have the highest spice tolerance of their batch and their brothers are very concerned for them

Based on the scene in the Umbara arc where Tup is hanging onto the gunship handle with 2 hands, he is a very nervous flier

Ahsoka noticed that Tup was a nervous flier and now tries to get on the same ships as him to help keep him calm

The 501st has different tallies up throughout the barracks for random things like ‘how many times the general loses his lightsaber’, ‘best quotes for the week’, etc

Clone troopers speak mando’a, kaminoan, and basic fluently

Rex always wins arm wrestling contests, even against Anakin

Ahsoka learned how to play sabacc from the Wolf Pack and has been banned from playing in most 501st circles because she always wins

The CCs have the ability to sleep with their eyes open and Wolffe and Fox actively chose to do so to creep everyone else out

Cody has broken his wrists and his shins from fist fighting droids but he continues to do it

Many troopers in the 501st have also attempted to fist fight droids but quickly stopped when the medics refused to treat them

Anakin has also attempted to fist fight droids and damaged his cybernetic hand enough that he had to get a new one

Ahsoka purrs when she sleeps close to other people

Hardcase almost cried when he first heard Ahsoka purr because he thought it was cutest damn thing

Capture the flag is the 501st’s favorite down time activity

Cody has hidden drugs in Obi-Wan’s tea to make him sleep which Obi-Wan was rather offended by but continued to accept all tea given to him by his commander

Ahsoka set up a projector in the rec room and on hyper space trips she plays holomovies so her men can be ‘cultured’

Ahsoka is good friends with Padme and Riyo Chuchi and regularly gets together with them for girls nights

Rex has gotten a tattoo while drunk but Cody is the only one that knows about it

Ahsoka and the 501st Headcannons

- Ahsoka is known for going to the barracks to comfort troopers after a campaign. She will sit with them for hours and listen to them and offer a shoulder to cry on. It’s not uncommon to find a group of shinies huddled around her on the floor

- Speaking of shinies, some of them (esp when Ahsoka was still pretty small) they’d hug onto her like she was a stuffed toy, and she didn’t mind at all. If it made her trooper feel better then she would do so happily

- If a trooper finds something cool on a campaign, like a pretty rock or a flower, they will give it to her and she keeps all the little gifts they give her

- She has lets some of Torrent play around with her sabers, and even taught Fives some of the basic lightsaber stances so they could mock duel

- Ahsoka knows what kind of music each trooper likes and will share songs she finds that she thinks they will like with them. She also was able to barter for a portable speaker that they could keep in the barracks or rec room

- She and Fives started a prank war that eventually involved all of the 501st and the 212th

- Echo helps Ahsoka study because he’s actually enjoys reading ‘boring’ stuff. Jedi temple work is actually a lot more interesting than REG manuals

- It started with Jesse, but one day while he was bored in the rec room, he asked Ahsoka (who was doing course work) if he could try to do a push up with her sitting on him (like in some of the holovideos he’s seen). She says yes. Rex walks in to see Jesse doing pushups while Ahsoka is typing out an essay on his back

- Pretty soon there is a competition between the veterans in the 501st on who can do the most pushups with Ahsoka sitting on them. Hardcase held the record until Rex stepped in and beat him by double

- There is an ongoing debate on how tall Ahsoka is, she argues that you measure from the tips of her montrals, her men argue its the top of her forehead.

- “Why would you measure from my forehead my mortals are literally attached to my head, the ARE the top of my head!” “even if we measured from your montrals, you still short as kriff.”

- Because Togruta don’t have hair, she is fascinated by it. Originally she only messed with Anakin’s hair but soon her men started letting her touch their hair was well. She would sit there playing with it for hours if they would let her (and many times they did because it feels good)

- They began teaching her some sayings in Manda’o and in return she taught them a few things in Togruti

- they all complain whenever they have to fly with her, but in reality they prefer her flying to their generals (and she is actually a very good flyer but they would never admit that)

- If Ahsoka hears someone insult her or say anything inappropriate about her, she ignores it, you say something about one of her troopers, she will not hesitate to jump them (Rex has had to haul her away from many brawls)

- If the troopers hear someone insult them they ignore it, if someone catcalls or insults their commander that person better pray to whatever god they believe in because they are about to meet their maker

- Ahsoka and Anakin started a karaoke tradition with the 501st but it stopped after Ahsoka left the order

- After Ahsoka left the order the clones still found themselves picking up small gifts on campaigns, and some chose to keep them with them in case Ahsoka ever came back

My #1 post of 2022

I see your “Ahsoka Tano gets de-aged and Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Plo enter dad mode” and I raise you:

Ahsoka Tano gets de-aged and battle tested, top strategist and captain of the 501st Rex, melts and enters ultimate ori’vod mode as soon as he sees his commander tiny. The 501st as a whole fights over who gets to carry her around the ship and Anakin watches his extremely competent and experienced battalion fall to pieces as soon as they see baby Ahsoka.

Marshall Commander Cody aka the ori’vod of half the GAR let’s baby Ahsoka sit in his lap as he does reports and carries her to meetings. The 212th take turns escorting the tiny commander to the med bay to be checked up on (because god knows how many diseases they come into contact with as they travel around the galaxy). Obi-Wan watches one of the best legions in the GAR fall prey again and again to his grandpadawan’s tooka eyes.

All of this only happens if they can pry Ahsoka from the 104th. Wolffe refuses to let Ahsoka out if his sight when she is with them, usually resorting to carrying her everywhere. Rarely has anybody seen Ahsoka not being carried, either on the shoulders or in the arms, of Commander Wolffe. Those in the 104th that had known Ahsoka before she became Anakin’s student and the commander of the 501st don’t trust her well-being with their other brothers. It’s not that they doubt their brothers’ with Ahsoka, it’s just that they feel much better when she is safe with them. Completely normal. Plo watches his serious and battle hardened battalion soften as soon as they get their hands on baby Ahsoka.

I raise you, the clone troopers born from Jango Fett’s DNA, a mandalorian through and through, see a child and immediately adopt it.

A (any/in general), F, and V for the ask game 🤠

A: How did you come up with the title to [insert fic]?

my general titling style is like a flowchart of logic. is there a title somewhere in/about the premise? if no, search through my 8 thousand poetry bookmarks to find a poem with the same ~vibes as the fic, pick a line from there. if no, resort to shakespeare.

F: Share a snippet from one of your favourite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

i'll share something from my slutty mechanic anakin fic! (appended to the bottom of the post under the read more)

in this, padme is 36 and anakin is 23, and it's the morning after they just boned for the first time and padme is trying to be reasonable while anakin is...you know, anakin about it. can't exactly tell you why i'm proud of it; i guess i'm just enjoying characters being really honest with each other.

V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

maybe a sequel of all the rest is rust and stardust (cherik fic that's no longer on ao3)? i say that only because it's the fic i've read most recently that destroyed me, but it also seems silly to write a sequel considering it's like 700k long.

wip snippet under the cut!

After a few minutes of silence, she says, “You’re not very chatty this morning.”

“I’m waiting for the bad news.”

“What bad news?”

“This was fun but we can’t keep seeing each other, blah blah blah, and then I leave while trying to maintain my dignity and pretend I’m not totally shattered.”

“I’ve heard of leaping to conclusions, but that’s more of a pole vault.”

“But I’m right, yeah? There’s bad news.”

She gives up on her eggs. She’s not hungry anymore. “You think you’re in love with me, don’t you?”

He rips off a piece of toast and chews it sullenly. “Before last night, yeah, I did think I was in love with you.”

“And now?”

“Now I know I am.”

“Anakin, we have to think about this.”

“You have to think about this. I’ve thought about it plenty.”

Fine, she’ll just say it. “Look, I really like you.”

“But?”

“No ‘but.’ I really like you and that’s the problem.”

“Why?”

“Do you want kids?”

“Yeah. Eventually.”

“If we stay together, that’s something that we’ll have to do in the next five years or so. My family has a history of complicated pregnancies and I don’t want to get pregnant into my forties.”

“Okay, get undressed, I’ll get you pregnant right now.”

“You’re not listening. I still have at least two more years of grad school, then I have to start applying for postdocs. In three years, I may be on the other side of the country.”

“This may come as a surprise to you, but I can fix cars anywhere.”

“You have a family business. I don’t want to take you away from that.”

He takes a long sip of coffee and leans back in his seat, his breakfast as abandoned as hers. “Fine, you want to get real, I’ll get real. I hate it here. I hate that I’ve been working at the same shitty auto shop since I was eight years old. I hate that every inch of that place reminds me of my mom. This whole fucking town reminds me of her.”

“But I remind you of her too.”

He looks away and clenches his jaw. “In a good way.”

“I can’t be your mother, Anakin.”

“I’m not asking you to be my mother, Padme. I’m asking you to give me a chance. I’m asking you to believe me when I say this is real, and not just brush it off as the idyllic ravings of an obsessive twenty-three-year-old.”

“How do you know it’s real? How are you so sure you won’t get bored with me in a year? It’s not the difference in age that bothers me, it’s that I’ve already lived through my crazy, dramatic, high-stakes twenties and you’re just starting yours.”

“Right, because working fifty hours a week changing oil and rotating tires is really living large.”

“When we first met, I told you grad school was a fresh start for me. I lied. It’s my retirement. That’s how stressful my life used to be. You want to know who I last campaigned for? The president, Anakin. The fucking president.”

He stares at her for a long moment. “You’re lying. I googled you. You’re nowhere on the internet.”

“I changed my last name. It’s Naberrie.”

Anakin scrambles up from the chair and rushes into the bedroom. A moment later he comes back with his phone in hand, staring down at it. “You have a Wikipedia page.” He scrolls and scrolls, sinks back down onto his chair. “When I first met you, I thought I recognized you from somewhere. CNN. I recognized you from fucking CNN.” He finally looks up at her. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I don’t know if you remember the last election, but it wasn’t great.”

He clicks off his phone and sets in on the table. “I don’t know if you meant for that to deter me, but it just gives me an even bigger boner for you. Like I went from ‘oh nice, maybe she’ll spank me’ to ‘I want you to put cigarettes out on my chest.’”

“I’m not entirely sure I understand that line of reasoning. Also I think we’ve gotten a little off topic.”

“Can we have sex before we get back on topic? I’m really hard now.”

“My Wikipedia page made you hard?”

He reaches down and adjusts himself. “Of course it did.”

They’re supposed to be having a serious conversation. She puts a hand over her mouth so he doesn’t see her trying not to smile. “You’re ridiculous.” “I’m crazy about you. I want to marry you. I want to have kids with you. I want to follow you across the country until you find a tenure track job. I want to build you a library like in Beauty and the Beast. I want to read every single book you’ve ever read. I’d get my GED, I’d go to college, I’d get a doctorate just to be on your level. I know I’m young. I know I have baggage. I know it’s absolutely insane to tell you I love you this early on. But it’s true. I have no doubt in my mind that I could love you for the rest of my life.”

Chapter 11: Stories

Masterlist | Previous | Next

Notes:

Fair Warning!!! We've got another dump coming in until I finally get everything here caught up with what I've got done on Ao3! ~~~~~~ Based on Landing at Point Rain; includes some dialogue from the episode.

The 501st arrived at yet another planet Rasha had only heard and read stories about. Geonosis never sounded like a nice planet, no matter what version was said or written. She knew she would still be needed on the ground tending to the wounded, helping Kix or some other clone medic like usual, so she made her way to the bridge. She was anxious about going down there, about what she might find, and how bad everything might be. She was anxious about whether those stories were true or not. The bug-like things, the Geonosians, that live there were always the creepiest part. Two of the Generals, Captain Rex, and Commander Cody were already having a light conversation until they came out of hyperspace in a few minutes.

Obi-Wan smiled when she approached the table but kept his conversation with Ki-Adi-Mundi going, “I cannot believe we’re back here again.”

“It is unfortunate. The resistance from the native Geonosians was stronger than we anticipated,” Ki-Adi Mundi said before turning to Rasha. “You must be the other Captain. Captain… Skohl, correct?”

“Yes, General. Please, just call me Rasha.”

“If you insist,” he chuckled.

“Thank you, sir. So, this is Geonosis?” Rasha asked when she could see the planet finally. By now, she’d been on several desert planets, but this one was off-putting for no reason other than the stories.

“Yes,” Obi-Wan answered, “their loyalty to Count Dooku seems to be stronger than anticipated as well.” She heard to door to the lift open. “You’re late,” Obi-Wan sighed.

“Sorry, Master, Ahsoka and I were busy routing the Seppies near Dorin. It’s not exactly right next door to Geonosis,” Anakin informed, receiving a small chuckle from Rasha and Ki-Adi and eye-rolls from everyone else.

Ahsoka looked up to Anakin, “My squadron alone had 55 kills,” she pointed out proudly.

“Yeah, but mine had 76. Looks like we’re ready for our briefing. Ahsoka, contact the Outer Rim Command,” Anakin ordered.

“Show off. They’re already waiting for us.” She opened the communications channel, receiving images of General Unduli, her Padawan, General Windu, Yoda, and the Chancellor.

“Our ships are in position and we’re ready to begin our campaign against the Geonosians,” Obi-Wan began, “It seems that Poggle the Lesser is holed up at the primary droid foundry.” The Generals continued the briefing for several minutes with Rasha’s nerves growing with every second.

“Cody, these are the coordinates for the rendezvous. When we hit the ground, we’ll set up a perimeter. The trick will be getting past their defenses. Rasha, you’re with me this time.” Obi-Wan turned the map, pointing at the flashing red dot, continuing as everyone explained the mission and what they were going to do upon launching the gunships.

After finishing the briefing, everyone headed for the hangar to prep ships. Obi-Wan and Cody were discussing their strategy once they were at the rendezvous as Rasha walked up to join them again.

“No, sir. I wasn’t involved in the original assault on Geonosis. I had just finished training on Kamino a few days afterward,” Cody pointed out.

“What happened in the first assault, sir?” Rasha asked politely.

“You two didn’t miss much. Last time, I was chained to a pole and attacked by several giant monsters,” Obi-Wan answered jokingly.

“Wait… You’re not being serious, are you?!” Rasha asked, surprised by how he could joke about something like that. He could’ve been killed.

“Yes. Why would I lie about something like that?”

“I have no idea, sir. I just know you and General Skywalker like to tell… outrageous stories. Where was he in all of that?”

He boarded his gunship and shrugged. “Well, he and Senator Amidala attempted to rescue me and got tied to poles too. The Senator was able to get out of everything on her own while Anakin and I just kinda hung there.”

Cody sarcastically answered, “That sounds… Entertaining…”

“Oh, it was. For the Geonosians at least.” The doors closed as Rasha gave Obi-Wan a surprised look that he only chuckled at as they left the hangar.

“What’s that supposed to mean, sir?!” Rasha still couldn’t believe that he could be making light of a situation like that.

“They wanted some sort of competition and panicked when it didn’t go quite how they wanted.”
