#Alpha 17

[zeldurz-art]

@wispsofwhimsy’s post about a Fox + Alpha-17 fix-it came across my dash and has not left my brain since

[cc1010fox]

Alpha-17: Do you ever get the urge to just-- Alpha-17 picks up the nearest cadet and smooches his adorable chubby cheeks several times each. Then, he sets him back down. Jango: ...No? Thire: Are you ok, Tenten? Fox, dazed and confused: ...Did I just get married? Wolffe: I don't know, but I think we should tell our trainer...

[roseaesynstylae]

Alpha-17, holding Maze’s face in his hands: My perfect precious baby brother. My beautiful younger sibling. My delightful gem of a kinsman. My—

Maze: Let go of me and never call me those things again, for the love of god.

Alpha: Nnnnnnooo.

Zey: I hate to interrupt, but I believe Ordo’s skull has been fractured.

Alpha: Walk it off.

Zey: You put him through five walls and a decorative mosaic (which I am not sure why we even fucking had).

Alpha: He deserved it.

Maze: He hit me once, and not even as hard as you did.

Zey: He could very well die.

Alpha: Good. Who’s my precious, perfect, beautiful, intelligent, adorable little baby brother? Who’s better than those nasty Nulls?

Maze: You’re doing this to mock me, stop it. Also, I don’t like Ordo at all, but I don’t want him dead.

Zey: Fuck it, I’m taking him to the medbay. Anyone want to help me lug him or…

Maze: I DO NOT NEED TO BE WRAPPED IN COTTON AND LOCKED IN A SAFE

Alpha: Yes you do. You’re helpless.

Maze: I AM A COMPETENT ADULT WHO WENT THROUGH THE SAME FUCKING TRAINING AS YOU

Alpha: Sure, but you’re still helpless. Like a baby shaak.

Maze: I AM NOT EVEN IN THE EIGHTIES YOU ASSHOLE

Maze: FORDO IS YOUNGER THAN ME

Zey: Ordo, you’re extremely lucky to be unconscious.

Maze: I AM NOT A CADET AND I DO NOT NEED TO HAVE MY HAND HELD

Maze: WHY IS EVERYONE CONVINCED I CAN’T TAKE CARE OF MYSELF

Maze: I AM A GODDAMN ARC TROOPER LIKE HALF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM

Alpha: Yes, but Ordo punched you.

Maze: This is going to be your talking point for the next year, isn’t it.

(Or, what would happen if Maze commed his brothers during Triple Zero.)

Yuri On Ice!-Style CodyWan AU

Cadet Cody is ashamed to have blown his chances of working with a top General after he made a nearly-fatal mistake during his graduation test because he still had his left eye covered by a bandage from the training accident that gave him his characteristic scar

so when Alpha-17 is introducing his former Jedi, General Kenobi, to his first class of command cadets that night, Cody had already hit the smuggled contraband starshine hard

with no real memory of the meeting, Cody spends the next month waiting for assignment on Kamino despondent, thinking he's blown his chance of ever getting to work with the newly-promoted High General Kenobi after his less-than-impressive showing

but then, he gets a Call

newly-minted Marshall Commander Cody jumped at the chance to work with High General Kenobi, known for his very shiny beard and effective but insane battle plans

things go really well, Cody thinks they've hit it off well personally and their leadership and communication styles are remarkably compatible

and if it keeps seeming like Kenobi is coming on to him, well, that's clearly just wishful thinking on Cody's part

meanwhile, Obi-Wan keeps space-texting Alpha-17, 'why doesn't your protege like me anymore :(', 'he said he wanted to climb me like a tree, but he keeps ignoring my hints to try it :(', 'is it my new hair cut :(', 'I can grow it back out :('

Alpha-17 keeps telling Kenobi to lose his comm number

[jedi-starbird]

Alpha-17 and Obi-Wan being friends (derogatory) on 17's part and friends (threatening) on Obi-Wan's part is such an underrated dynamic

They could be so funny and terrifying, like Obi-Wan went through a soul shredding experience with Alpha-17 as his only company. They're friends because what else are you gonna be after you witness each other at absolute rock bottom from torture.

It's like 'dog put in cage of cheetah who's threatening to go crazy', except the dog is a grizzly bear and also threatening to go crazy.

Emotional support trooper except the trooper in question has never done any sort of supporting in his life and is actively an emotional distress trooper to a great number of the CC batch.

I want them texting everyday, I want Obi-Wan mailing handmade BFF bracelets to Alpha and Alpha sending pics back of him flipping off the camera but still wearing them, I want Alpha using Obi-Wan to keep track of and occasionally terrorize his cadets, I want 17 ending problems in the GAR (like Krell) before they begin because Obi-Wan has him shipped out on a personal transport at the first opportunity, decked out with slug-throwers Obi-Wan got him for his decant-day.

Natborn officers think this is all just an odd indulgence of General Kenobi, the Vode, however, correctly identify it as a goddamn threat and their danger assessment of Obi-Wan ticks up significantly.

When Alpha arrives on Kamino, Shaak Ti presses a shiny new comm into his hand. It has the Jedi Order symbol painted onto it alongside a smiley face sticker, and it pings immediately with a new message: Hello! I hope you're settling in well!

Alpha stares at the message, stares at the singular contact named 'OWK' and then stares Shaak Ti in the eye as he pitches the comm straight into the ocean. Shaak Ti's serene smile only grows larger as she calmly reaches into her robes and pulls out an identical comm, only this one has a frowny face sticker, and presses it into his hand. It lights up: I'm afraid we've bonded, Alpha :). Alpha shuts it off and pockets it with resignation.

Cody arrives on Alpha-17's personal recommendation.

A-17: He's the most difficult little bastard I have. You're perfect for each other. OWK: Thank you, he's very handsome :3 A-17: No. Stop.

The first thing he asks once he gets comfortable is who his general is texting so much that has him swinging his legs and twirling his hair. Cody assumes it's Anakin, given they seem joint at the hip anyway, but little does he know Obi-Wan's ability to consistently have the Weirdest Relationships Ever.

"Oh, it's Alpha-17, I understand you're familiar with each other?" Hmm. OK. Cody.exe is experiencing a processing error, please hold. He exits the room instead of answering. The next day he peeks over the General's shoulder when he's texting and sees walls of rambling messages from Obi-Wan. Alpha-17 replies every hour with a single text: Lose this number. Obi-Wan giggles. "He's so funny." he says.

When Obi-Wan meets the rest of the CC batch, Cody makes sure to stand perfectly angled so that he can record the reactions when his general cuts off their introductions with "Oh, no need, Alpha-17's told me all about you." It's always immediate FEAR.JPG followed by a slow spiral of What The Fuck.

What do you mean by that General. What does that mean Cody. What do you mean they text. No. Cody. What the fuck is happening, Cody. Alpha-17 doesn't have friends he has enemies and enemies he tolerates enough not to shoot on sight.

OWK: Wolffe reached for his vambrace? when I mentioned you A-17: That's where he keeps his spare knife. OWK: Hm that does explain the way he eyed me up, ambitious. A-17: Clearly not enough, he should have followed through. I taught them better.

I made a clone wars timeline to combine all of canon and legends into one cohesive and somewhat manageable timeline, mainly for fanfic and ttrpg purposes but I thought people might like it, it has a full workout of the galactic standard calendar and has precise(ish) dates for events (mainly republic commando) but I want as many people as possible to be able to see it and hopefully enjoy it

Fox: If you want to be with me, you have to prove yourself to my buir. Alpha-17: I'm his buir, and my ad deserves only the best.

[roseaesynstylae]

Alpha-17 definitely encountered one of the Nulls while raising the CC batch and he definitely handled it by chucking the cadet he was carrying at them. The Null — who for the sake of clarity we’ll just assume was Ordo —, regardless of any moral deficiencies, caught the cadet on instinct, having not expected 17 to just do that.

Unfortunately for him, the cadet was Fox. Who promptly started attacking his face like a rabid honey badger.

(It took a full forty-five minutes to pry him off Ordo, and it only really worked because 17 got bored and told Fox to get his ass over there so they could rejoin the others.)

(Needless to say, 17’s kids aren’t too impressed with the Nulls.

Cody: Well if it isn’t Flighty McBitchass.

Mereel: Great, you’re one of his.)

[twinterrors29]

Alpha-17 is returned to the past, at a point a few years before his creation, from soon after Order 66 and all that ensued

his first step, naturally, was to kill Jango Fett

from there, it was only logical for him to step into the man's life as a bounty hunter (he's got to eat somehow, and it's not like he doesn't more than live up to the Prime's reputation)

but then, despite refusing the bounty on Vosa, is still cornered by a very recognizable Sith and ominously offered the Kamino job

he cannot let himself hesitate to accept it

his first task is to recruit a group of 'trainers', ones he believes are loyal to him (or can be made so)(and, if not, that he can easily dispose of) and brings them all to Kamino, and bides his time

he waits until the first batches of his siblings are born, playing along about just long enough so that his supporters can watch and learn how to continue their operation without requiring the Kaminoan's involvement

and then he strikes, removing them from the picture, and immediately modifies the cloning contract on record:

the clones he's raising are all for the Jedi, and in the name of the one Jedi he actually trusts them to

so when Kenobi is lured to Kamino by the Sith's machinations several years later, it's only Alpha-17 waiting for him in the rain on that landing platform

and all he says in greeting is, "Kenobi, good, you finally made it. Here's the boys, we're killing the Sith, are you coming or do you need any more time to prepare"

and proceeds to not wait for the man's answer as he drags him along through the final preparations for their mass departure for Coruscant, dodging meaningfully addressing any of his questions by fobbing him off onto his curious and delighted younger siblings who only have vague ideas of Alpha-17's plans

when they arrive, he plays along with the Chancellor just long enough to get close so he can cut the head off that snake directly, along with several other key Imperial Senators and ambitious would-have-been military personnel

he immediately declares Kenobi the Emperor to a crowd of aghast politicians (and an equally shocked Kenobi)

Anakin, hearing this news, swiftly returns from the solo mission that the late Chancellor had dispatched him on, furious that his Master has taken over the political system without inviting him to help 💔

he's equally swiftly mollified when, upon his arrival, Alpha-17 intercepts his impending meltdown by immediately turning him back around to be dispatched on missions important to securing their new Empire

Nala Se: it seems you're growing attached to the other Clones

Alpha: no, never. what could have made you believe such a thing?

[Nala Se looks down to see cadets Rex and Fordo attached to his legs like koala bears to a tree]

[chiliger]

It’s a sign of affection.

Teaching cadets how to round in math

Little cadet: “Seventeen how old are you?”

Alpha-17: “Twenty one.”

Little: *Doing the math*

Alpha-17: “TWO and ONE.”

Little: “Oooh…so you’re almost fifty!”

Alpha-17: “That’s right.”

Little: “And then you’ll be dead.”

Fordo: *gasps from the other side of the room* “Cadet!”

Alpha-17: “I hope so. Well don’t correct him he’s right. I yearn for the urn.”

Fordo: “NO-“

Alpha-17: Why are there little handprints all over the wall?

Cody: Why are there little handprints all over the wall?

Rex: Because I have little hands

Cody: Because he has little hands
