#But Lux was not right for Ahsoka

[cloudwhich]

not trying to be rude but why do you ship barris and ahsoka

The lights flicker out and a candle is lit, the shadows ominous

have you ever heard of… doomed yuri?

But for real… there were always queer undertones. I stand by the notion that those two were queercoded from the start.

Barriss was a fellow padawan, maybe two or three years older than Ahsoka. Like did we watch the same swtcw? dave filoni destroyed Barriss’ character but still made those lesbians trauma bond… its right there in the second season…

Also, I’m pretty sure it’s Star Wars’ most popular wlw ship. (According to SW tumblr. There was some kind of poll I cannot find at the moment)

And let’s be honest, I don’t know anyone who particularly likes Lux or finds him a good character. Ahsoka’s character deserved more than that bruh. -_- I’d rather make up… or speculate… something more interesting actually happened.

He must’ve reread the mission brief fifteen times, eyes raking over the same details again and again. 

Mission: Imperial defect extraction

Intel Source: Gerrera 

Planet: Hosnian Prime

Coordinates: M12-94.93, M12-853.25

Aide: Lux Bonteri

It wasn’t the lack of detail that stood out to the Captain, but rather the person in which he was being paired with for this mission. 

“Something wrong, Rex?” Bail asked genuinely, the concern in his eyes ever warm and true. The Senator wouldn’t have known he and Bonteri were acquainted, had no reason to. This was sole unfortunate luck.

Rex looked up from the datapad and stored it. “I just wasn’t expecting to see a familiar name is all. It was my understanding that Gerrera’s remaining bridges with our Rebellion were burned,” he answered honestly, leaving out any distaste that might’ve arisen had he mentioned Lux. 

“It’s true, he isn’t labelled a radical without reason; we have publically distanced ourselves from him. Senator Mothma’s opinions are… sound, however, there is value in working together where we can. Our common enemy is what maintains our allyship with Saw. He’s extended this intel to us in order to assist Mon Mothma’s private interests. It’s best she not know who is involved.” 

“And Lux Bonteri?” Rex asked. 

Bail nodded, “Is a close second to Saw as I understand it. He was the son of a dear friend, the previous Senator of—”

“Onderon,” Rex finished for him. “I was there when they took their planet back during its civil war. My men and I helped turn Gerrera’s people into fighters. Bonteri was among them. We didn’t know it then, but I reckon’ we were training the first batch of rebels.”

The graying Senator offered him a solemn smile, knowing well who all had accompanied Rex on such a mission. His heart swelled bittersweetly for his daughter. “Indeed you did. It should be quite the reunion then. We have too little of those these days,” he ended with. 

Rex thanked him and exited into the bright halls of the Tantive III. Bail wasn’t wrong. It would undoubtedly be quite the reunion all this time later. There were too few of them… and not enough with the person he wished to share them with the most. 

In the two days leading up to his assignment, Rex continued about his duties. Now that Kix was free from cryo, he’d been teaching the former Captain his way around a medbay and how to properly tend to patients. It wasn’t the action he spent his life vying for, but it was action nonetheless when he wasn’t on the field. He actually enjoyed the work and had become an invaluable asset for when medical droids weren’t readily available — which was often. It was one of those things Rex never would’ve known had they won the war. 

Realizations such as those were always jarring.

Medic work was something to keep both his hands and mind occupied. Nothing felt right if he didn’t have something to worry over. In some way, it was soothing, allowing him to worry over what he could control versus what he couldn’t. 

Not hearing from Ahsoka, not being able to reach out, ate at him like a Gundark starved. Kix being unthawed had helped, but even his brother’s company didn’t lessen the tug as much as he wished it would. The only thing that had distracted him well enough was the strong scent of bacta. 

Rex kept at it until the very moment his pickup had docked to the Tantive, washing his hands up to the elbows and disposing of tools into the hazardous waste chute before climbing into the cockpit. Bonteri was piloting, appearing just as shocked as Rex knew himself to look upon seeing someone from the last war — upon seeing someone who’d changed so drastically since they were last face to face. 

Bonteri’s hair was longer, shaggier, looking the very definition of the rebel extremist Saw had made of him. He had a five o’clock shadow, had filled out more, the war turning a once lanky kid into a man Rex hardly recognized. It was a begrudging thing for him to admit, but perhaps after a shower or two, Bonteri could be considered to have grown into a conventionally handsome guy. 

Rex couldn’t pinpoint why Lux’s complicated past with Ahsoka still bothered him all these years later. This was clearly a different person entirely. They all were. 

Maybe that bothered him more.

Lux’s eyebrows were shot up. “You’re… younger?” he observed, voice deeper than anticipated, taking in a version of Rex without the characteristic lines in his face. “I’d heard rumors they’d found a cure, I just, well you don’t see many clones these days. Especially the ones fighting on our side.”

He didn’t know how he was meant to respond to that comment. Yes, in the three years since the Empire took control, his brothers have been rapidly replaced by conscripted soldiers. The ones that remained… many had chosen a life like the one Echo and the boys chose on Pabu. With time, Rex found it increasingly more difficult to convince clones to stay in the fight. Forced retirement prompted them to actually consider what else they wanted in life besides battle. And not all of them wanted the cure. Even the ones who did, half used it to catch up on lost time — men such as Cut included. They were simply tired of dying.

“And you got older,” Rex settled with, taking a seat and offering a weak smirk. 

Bonteri laughed, undocked the ship, and set out on what Rex expected to be a very quiet, very awkward mission. 

In and out. He’d be back at the Tantive’s doors just after dinner with any luck. But as luck would have it, Lux felt the need to fill the quiet air. For hours they did this back and forth game of catch up.

“How old are you now?”

“Sixteen if you count how long it’s been since the tube. Twenty-three in appearance.”

“Worked that well, huh? Been fighting since the Empire started?”

“Haven’t had a day off.”

“More people gone than recovered I assume.”

“That’s the way it is. The Senate?”

“Like you wouldn’t believe.”

To the rest of the galaxy, Lux was for all intents and purposes, still Onderon’s acting representative in the Senate. He was the youngest rep at age twenty-one. He ran a hand through his hair, leagues less greasy than it had been in his younger years. “You know the Empire well enough by now. I just say what they tell me to, but I’m sure that comes as no surprise. They just need a pretty face to keep my people content with their permanent occupation on our planet,” he explained. “Just have to shave every few months when they need me and say a couple nice things for the Net. They’re none the wiser.”

“I figured as much. Senator Organa sees less and less colleagues all the time, just more Imperials taking their places he says,” Rex added. “That’s how you and Bail are involved, I take it?”

“Passed on Saw’s intel either this week after a new bill discussion,” the younger man confirmed. “Senator circles and what have you.” He laughed, shaking his head at how ridiculous it all sounded. He knew he was just another cog in a wickedly woven machine. 

War hardened everyone. It was strange to see the shape it had given Bonteri. Rex found himself searching for reasons to continue his dislike of this individual, but if anything, the years and the hardship had made him more bearable. The arrogance of his youth couldn’t be held against him, not when he was sticking his neck out like this. He was no different than Bail or Mon, or any one person involved in their fight. 

It was ultimately up to Ahsoka to forgive Lux, and perhaps she already had, but Rex recognized it was time to reconcile his issues with Bonteri. The kid was probably never aware of his disdain to begin with. 

After all, who was Rex to hold the sins of one’s youth against him?

Hosnian Prime illuminated the cockpit of Lux’s GX1 soon enough, finding Rex in significantly less pain than he had predicted himself to be in by now. Clouds boomed around them, dark and heavy, raining with a vengeance on the city planet below. They made their descent unceremoniously, landing a few klicks out from the provided coordinates in a residential sector.

Each man shrugged on a cloak that had seen better days. “Do you know anything about the defect?” Rex asked, donning his bucket and pulling down the rangefinder. 

“All I know is that we’re looking for a woman,” Lux provided, powering down the ship and grabbing a banged up stormtrooper helmet. “You ready?”

“Waiting on you,” Rex nodded, lifting his hood and leading the way out into the downpour.

Bonteri was resourceful. Rex could give him that. Perhaps he was paying attention during the Onderon mission afterall. He chuckled to himself, thinking that the kid probably wouldn’t be alive right now if it weren’t for that first course from the boys of the 501st. He bit into his cheek, the term “kid” no longer feeling natural. Their difference in age wasn’t as stark anymore. 

They walked through sheets of rain in a back alley, parallel to an overhead hovertrain system. Distant shop signage cast them in colorful glows with each block covered, the rain only stopping when a train zipped by. They’d approach the city within the hour. 

His companion jogged up beside him, holding his modified blaster rifle close to the chest and spoke over comms, “Say, you haven’t heard from Ahsoka Tano lately, have you?”

The first thing Rex noticed after he swallowed the dreaded question was that both Bonteri’s voice and posture had shifted. Waters were being tested. He couldn’t help but think how Ahsoka would have some remark to say about banthas in the room and finally addressing them. What he could reveal was limited. She was supposed to be dead. They both were. Rex shrugged off his initial reaction and corrected his body language.

When no response came, the young Senator continued, “Imperial records have you both listed as killed in action, aboard the same downed vessel and, well, here you are.”

It wasn’t rare to see the dead, but it was rare to see a ghost. Today, that ghost was Rex. Not only was he younger, but he was alive, and Lux was bargaining on more ghosts yet. 

Wiser men have died chasing them. 

Thankful for the helmets, Rex attempted to lie — something he’d gotten much practice in being Captain of the 501st. “I haven’t seen her since the crash,” he said coolly, keeping it short. Too short. 

The younger man pushed against Rex’s shoulder with his own. “Don’t bullshit me, Rex,” Lux pressed, sounding once again like himself. 

Maybe Rex shouldn’t have answered truthfully, but he decided to. He considered himself a decent judge of character and this wasn’t a version of Lux Bonteri that acted in his own self interest, not when something as sinister as the Empire weighed heavily on the galaxy. At this point in his life, he’d seen enough regret in a man’s eyes to recognize it upon first appearance. He sighed, “She’s around less and less each time. I don’t know where she gets sent. My clearance doesn’t extend that high anymore. She’s alive… but it’s been months.”

The stormtrooper helmet bobbed, indicating that Lux understood, accepting the truth was less than he’d wanted. “Thank you. It’s good to hear, you know, that she’s alive. I know you played a role in her survival of whatever it was the two of you went through, so thank you.” He was quiet again for a long while. “I see the cure didn’t absolve you of that loyalty curse you clones are all known so well for,” he continued. “I’m sorry.”

The genuine apology sat with Rex in a way he hadn’t expected it to. Maybe because he didn’t expect the words in the first place. Maybe because it was painfully clear that he’d die Ahsoka’s loyal Captain, taking her secrets with him to the grave. But whatever the root cause, Rex knew it was ultimately because his companion was wrong. He was assuming that as a clone, Rex was bound to her beyond his will. 

“No, the cure didn’t solve it. Removing my chip did. Those are real too, in case you’d not heard it from a reliable source. My loyalty to Ahsoka is my choice.”

Nothing was said for several minutes more as each man chewed on the interaction. Rex marveled at how much power a woman like her could have on two hopeless men. She was worlds away and leaving them both at a loss for words. 

“Security detail ahead,” Rex informed, tipping down his rangefinder and leading them to the alley edges. “I’ve got four on my scanners. See anything in that ridiculous helmet of yours?”

“Not shit,” Lux joked, confirming what Rex had heard regarding the poor design. “Scratch that. Counting three more to our left.” 

Each rebel’s grip tightened on his weapon, readying to shoot their way through an increasingly sticky scenario. The mission coordinates were a few blocks north and the area was already dense with stormtroopers. Bonteri beckoned his head to the right and they dipped further out of view, navigating the city grid more stealthily.

“I thought Hosnian Prime was one of the core worlds giving the Empire a run for their credits,” Rex thought aloud, dismayed.

His companion laughed dryly, “Why do you think there’s so much security, Captain?” The younger man pointed above them. A squad of troopers was boarding the hovertrain on a nearby station. 

“You weren’t informed enough to know how much of an Imperial presence would be here?” Rex asked, doing little to disguise his annoyance. The mission brief was infuriatingly short. What was more, was that Hosnian Prime was this mental image of resistance. Seeing that even they couldn’t escape Imperial occupation made his chest ache in a way that had become too frequent. 

Lux shrugged under his drenched coat. “Gerrera wrote up the brief. He can be…”

“Oh I know.” Rex grumbled.

Bonteri was mid laugh when they turned the corner, a lively tavern of sorts bustling with crowds of customers and stormtroopers alike. It was protected from the rain, housing all kinds of individuals seeking a good time despite the dreary weather. “Shit,” the young Senator muttered, he and Rex tugging their hoods further and keeping heads down. “Shit. Shit.”

“Six at the bar,” Rex stated, weaving them calmly through the crowds. “Don’t look to your right. There’s a group at the high top that might see you.” Lux obeyed, falling in Rex’s expert footsteps. A male Gotal passed between them, separating them but only by a step, then a few steps.

Grunting in frustration, Lux attempted to jog up to the heels of the Captain. “Rex—” he started, leaving his thought unfinished as he kicked into the ankle of none other than a unit leader.

The orange pauldron pivoted, bringing the two men helmet to helmet. Lux’s was an older model, dated out by a year or so now. Moreover, he had no other armor on his person. 

“What do we have here?” the unit leader drawled. It was not a question Lux was meant to answer. Six, seven, eight, nine of the same blank buckets turned their attention towards him. The tavern quieted just enough, bystanders getting out of the way but most still determined to enjoy their evenings. What a show this was indeed. 

The blaster of the one behind him was halfway raised when his arm snapped. The impact was so forceful that Bonteri would’ve guessed it was a crack of lightning before he turned. Rex was quicker with the cure coursing through his veins, much more than he had been on Onderon. His elbow met the center of the trooper’s chest plate before his pistol even cleared the holster. Lux couldn’t help but notice Rex was down to one weapon despite his normal two, looking on in awe before remembering himself.

Chaos erupted throughout the tavern. Gone was the festive evening as screams rang out and drinks were spilled. The music came scratching to a sharp halt as Lux kicked the legs out from under the unit leader, sending him falling backwards into a table and leaving glasses shattering to the floor. He ducked as blaster fire screeched over his head, looking up to watch as Rex dropped another one with a devastating kick behind the knee. 

“Move!” he barked, firing twice more as another squad of the damning troops filed into the area. The exit point was a clear shot ahead. 

“What? Don’t want to stop for a drink?” Lux jested, firing his modded rifle and smirking as the fire ricocheted between the buckets of two more soldiers. 

“You and I aren’t quite there yet,” Rex grunted, turning on his heel. 

Blaster fire followed them into the alleys, drowned out by the torrential downpour that had started. The duracrete was slick with rain. A stray bolt screamed through the air, hitting the wall beside Lux’s shoulder and eliciting something of a yelp from the Senator. He stumbled, cursing and spraying fire behind him. 

One trooper went down. Then two. But not by his hand. Another shot found its way into the alley and this one hit. 

Rex watched as Bonteri nearly fumbled his rifle. A line of red scored across his palm, smoke rising from the burning flesh and the fabric of his glove. “You hit?” he asked.

“I’m fine,” Lux responded through gritted teeth, firing his weapon through the sting of an open wound.

“Good. Walk it off,” Rex instructed. “How many behind us?”

“Three last I saw,” he grunted. They ducked into a side street. 

The Captain loosened a bit, checking his datapad. “There’s a service access north past the next block. We’ll lose them there in the industrial district.”

“And if we don’t?”

“Then we’ll win a short war.”

Cheating death — even when it became routine — had a way of forcing reflection. It just so happened that narrowly escaping said demise had both men thinking of the most electric, unparalleled woman that had ever graced their existence. This woman, coincidentally, was the same woman for each of them.

Again, and unsurprisingly, Lux brought her up in conversation.

“You know, I was half expecting, or half hoping rather, that Bail would assign this mission to Ahsoka,” he revealed, catching his breath as they hunkered down in the service entrance. He clutched his wrist, causing his affected hand to lose its color. Rex fished for a stimpack in the pouch on his belt.

Dots began to connect. So that’s why Bonteri was on a mission such as this one — seizing the rare opportunity to work with Bail’s team in hopes of a reunion. Perhaps it wasn’t the full reason, but he didn’t have to say so outright. Earlier when he questioned Rex’s loyalty, he’d already had suspicions that Ahsoka was alive and working for Bail.

“Disappointed?” Rex asked. 

“Delighted,” Lux corrected, sucking air past his teeth as the liquid made contact with the raw gash across his palm. “It means she’s off taking care of the bigger fish. She’ll do great things in the name of the Rebellion, just as she did during the last war.”

The Captain nodded, still not used to the lack of a dull ache in his knees. “She already has.” he revealed. “She never says much about what it is she’s doing, but I don’t ask.”

“Because she’d tell you if it were for your ears to hear?”

“Exactly.”

Lux faced him, helmet discarded on the ground. “I’m not sure if you picked up on it before, or if she’s said anything to you in passing, but… there was a moment where we had something, Ahsoka and I. For a brief point time I thought maybe it could have turned into… more.”

The Captain said nothing, digesting the younger man’s confiding words. It’s not that he didn’t know about it — Ahsoka had spoken about her grievances and confusion over him a few times. He’d known for a while how she’d felt about Lux during the last war, how it was unrequited at different times, how she harbored her guilt with it. It’s hearing the words from Lux himself that made it real in a way he wasn’t prepared for. 

“I knew,” he revealed, wrapping Lux’s palm with a gauzy bandage.

“You ever think she regrets not leaving the war behind when she had the chance?” Lux asked, forcing a laugh to make it sound as if it were a thought he’d only just had for the first time.

After a beat, Rex finally answered him. “She doesn’t regret the things that matter.”

“Am I interrupting something here? Why are you out of regulation?” a female voice sliced sternly through the air. 

Lux was the only one in view, helmet halfway back on. “Just bandaging my hand, Lieutenant,” he improvised.

“I’m going to need your operating number, trooper. This is highly irregular.”

The young Senator was quick to regain control of the situation, removing his tattered excuse for a helmet and shaking the stray strands of long hair from his face. The lieutenant’s attitude shift was instant. She was more inclined to listen to a handsome man’s excuse rather than an anonymous one. Bonteri had evidently used this method before and knew it to be effective. 

He gave a hand signal behind his back for Rex’s eyes only — a signal he’d taught that first group of rebels on Onderon.

Signal seventeen.

He sat straight against the wall and fished the binders from his belt. The Senator secured them to Rex’s wrists and hauled him up off the ground and thrust him into view.

Rex ground his teeth and snapped his shoulders, playing the part of captive convincingly and allowing Lux to sell the ruse. His pretend captor flashed the woman his white teeth, using a mix of suave and charm Rex had used before himself.

“I’ve been hired as a bounty hunter, ma’am. Been chasing this particular clone for weeks now. His capture will undoubtedly ensure Hosnian Prime’s submission to the Empire,” Lux improvised, dialing in on the cockiness. “An older one by the looks of him. Their so-called cure must do a number on their already stunted brains.” Rex grunted and twisted in Lux’s hold, only halfway acting.

This qualified as humor for the woman. She giggled, impressed, hopelessly fooled into Lux’s lie by way of his good looks. “I’m certain the Commander will be most pleased,” she said, a twinkle in her eye and a flirt in her now relaxed stance. A phantom lock of her slicked back hair was pushed behind her ear. “Very well, proceed to detention block C. Put him with the others. If you’re in need of an assignment afterwards, you can find me on level three.”

“Promise?” Bonteri asked, tongue slipping past his lips just so as he held eye contact with her.

The only response she offered in return was the maintained lock of eyes before she nodded curtly and continued on. 

Rex gagged when she was out of earshot.

His captor released him and shot him a defeated, albeit dirty, look, “Believe me, that was more uncomfortable for me than it was for you.”

“I highly doubt it.”

“Well, not everything has to be solved with a blaster,” Lux added.

“Unfortunately. Let’s grab the target and get out.”

“Seconded.”

He hated to admit it, but it was that very interaction between his counterpart and the Imperial that Rex’s mind began to taunt him. It started with the sensation of pin pricks beneath the skin, a tightness in his jaw, then evolving into hypotheticals. He was often skilled at blocking those out, but the way Lux flirted with the woman was so… effortless. She was of no real romantic interest, if his facial expression afterward was any indication, yet his charm had her expecting a rendezvous. What could Bonteri achieve with someone he did have an interest in? Rex swallowed. Ahsoka did fall for the man once, long ago when he was more arrogant and less handsome. 

For only one year had the cure been embedded in his cells and Rex was once again facing insecurities he thought he’d conquered. The only reason he swallowed the vial was to continue the fight, to give the growing Rebellion a standing chance. His resume, his strategy, his experience were all vital assets to the cause. Taking it was an unselfish act, so he told himself. 

Sure, he also regained that rugged Fett physique the Kaminoans had shown such favor towards. He was not disinclined to once again have that allure the clones were so reputable for. 

She’d only been around him twice since the cure had been administered and not once had she treated him any differently — didn’t care that it had taken nine years off his physical age. 

They made it to the detention block without a hitch, taking out the few troopers stationed there. Only one name in the short catalog of prisoners belonged to a woman. Rex’s mouth grew dry. It was so much more than just a name. He knew the target personally.

Emerie Karr.

“About time you showed up,” the female clone said once the ray shield fizzled. 

“I’d tell you to give Echo my apologies, but I’m more curious as to how you ended up here,” Rex wondered aloud, handing her the blaster off an unconscious trooper. “And why our intel has you listed as an Imperial defect.”

She frowned, following the two men back out the way they came. “The less known the better. Rex, this goes deeper than we could’ve ever imagined. I’ve been in the sector undercover for the last few weeks and, well, I supposed I assumed Tantiss was the only place the Empire had been experimenting on children…”

Lux’s brows were knit, looking between the pair of clones and drawing his own conclusions. This ran as deep as it did dark. 

“Of course we were wrong,” she finished softly. 

“Emerie, why are you here?” Rex probed. 

She swallowed, fearful, unlike how he knew her usual demeanor to be. “They’re experimenting on Force sensitive children. I was able to shuttle many of them off-world, got them here first and then sent each to a safe location with a trusted ally, but the Imperial presence on Hosnian Prime has only doubled since I was here last. The smallest child in particular, he—”

The emergency alarm began to wail. The cold light was replaced with that of a red hue, signaling that it was time to go. Stepping over the limp bodies of stormtroopers, the three made their way through the building. 

Blast doors were closing on all sides of them, the rhythmic sound reaching them before they could see it. 

“Going back the way we came isn’t an option anymore,” Lux warned, tightening his injured hand into a fist. 

“Where did your girlfriend ask you to meet her?” Rex asked, no hint of a joke on his face. 

“Level three,” Bonteri sighed.

Emerie pointed to their left. “This way. Follow me.”

They kept tight on the female clone’s heels, turning sharp corners and hiding out of breath from nearby squads. Their footsteps charged Rex’s heart, once again throwing him into the kind of battle he was born and bred for — the kind that gave him a purpose that medic work couldn’t replicate. Snatching a datapad from the wall, Emerie opened a door that had closed on them, opening the way once more. It was in those short periods of waiting that Rex’s mind pieced the rest of the picture together.

She was working with Saw. 

Echo was working with Saw.

There was no time to digest such revelations. Emerie input the security code for the sealed room and the blast doors parted. Inside, the lieutenant Lux had promised to rendezvous with earlier had two hands on a blaster, trained on them.

“I should have suspected,” the Imperial woman spat.

“Sorry lady, you’re just not really my type,” Lux retorted, gesturing to the control panel behind her. “Now, you’re going to drop the blaster and unlock the bay for the transports.”

Her eyes hardened and her finger trembled ever closer to the trigger. 

Bonteri laughed dryly. “When’s the last time the Empire did anything for you, huh? Gave you anything of real value besides a disappointing promotion? Look at you. Blindly, fearfully loyal. Even in its own system, the Empire rules by fear. The more responsibilities, the more titles, the more pins on your uniform — the more they govern you with terror. You’re not that high ranking which is one of the many reasons you’re trembling,” he observed. “You spend your life at this post serving them and what do they do to serve you? They don’t care that you’re under the gun. They don’t care whether you live or you die.”

“You’re rebels!”

“Your occupation on Hosnian Prime won’t last,” Rex added, the curve of a smile etched into the corner of his lips. “The Rebellion only gets stronger everyday. You know this planet. You know its people. You can drop your weapon now and be promised safety amongst our ranks, or you can wait it out, dropping it once the people of this planet overrun this place. You will fail. And you know how the Empire will feel about it.”

Perhaps she might’ve done it. She might have taken the words as they intended and trusted what was said. Rex swore he saw that telling glint in her eye, the one that screams “I want to, help me save myself from this” but they’d never know. An explosion went off down the street, visible through the large window behind her. She turned to analyze the situation, and as fast as her eyes were taken off her enemies, Emerie had knocked her out with the datapad.

The light for the transport bay turned from red to green. “If you two are quite finished, we have a mission to complete,” Emerie said.

The rain felt like needles on the exposed back of a speeder bike. Rex cursed the damn lieutenant for the loss of their gear. He’d been losing pieces of his armor for years, starting with his pauldron, but knowing he left his helmet behind felt like leaving behind a part of himself. Even the tattered cloak he’d miss, especially now as they peeled away and towards Lux’s ship.

He patted his belt and holsters, finding everything else was still intact. He’d been down to one blaster for a while now, but he knew the other one was being kept safe.

Their ragtag group made it to their coordinates without fanfare. The explosion caused by the planet’s inhabitants had drawn the occupation’s attention and no one would suspect for a while that any outside agitators had been present. The larger Rebellion had once again succeeded in winning small wars, as Ahsoka liked to call them.

Lux signalled ahead, catching sight of the wing of his GX1 and leading them down the alley.

As soon as they stepped off, an overhead ship switched on its lights, ripping them forcibly out of the darkness and spotlighting Lux’s ship. Their damp clothes billowed, disrupted by the incoming landing. They each looked up, shielding their eyes from the intense brightness but unable to discern their above enemy. 

The lack of fire raining down on them did not equate to safety. 

Bonteri’s ship ramp wasn’t even all the way down before he was on it, ushering Emerie and Rex inside. He had one foot lifted, watching the new ship make ripples in the puddles below. 

The spotlight flickered off and the Captain’s eyes readjusted to the night sky. A rickety x-wing had joined them and, like clockwork, just as he was every few months, Rex once again found himself at a loss for words. 

“You,” he exhaled, standing in the light of the ship as a pair of familiar boots hit the ground. His body was weightless, mission nearly forgotten as he remembered the use of his feet. They carried him towards her in a motion that felt like floating.

“Me,” came the response.

“I didn’t expect to see you here,” he heard himself say.

Ahsoka crossed her arms, eyes rolling playfully and meeting him in the rain. “You always say that.” His skin soaked in the water falling from the sky, but his eyes soaked her in, searching for new scars, dipping briefly to her lips before meeting her warm gaze. A gentle hand slid across his face and hooked behind his ear, thumb running over his jaw. “Your helmet and cloak are in the storage compartment,” she continued. “Try not to leave them behind next time.”

He fought the urge to lean into her touch. “No promises,” he murmured, knowing he’d do it again.

“Lux,” Ahsoka stated, pulling Rex out of the moment. She glanced between the two men, amused, and playfully elbowed her Captain. “Didn’t peg you for a politician’s right hand.”

“Didn’t have much of a choice,” Rex laughed, walking them out of the weather and clapping a hand on Bonteri’s shoulder. 

She folded her arms and cocked a brow marking. “I imagine it was… enlightening.”

Rex smirked, shrugging his shoulders, “Only on how to get your hand seared open by enemy fire.”

Lux rolled his eyes and laughed at the jest of his new friend. “Yeah, yeah. It’s healing just fine,” he corrected, waving his bandaged palm. “I’m ready for that drink now by the way. You and I there yet?”

Ahsoka looked at Rex expectantly, “Kix’s training came in handy I take it. Thank you for taking my advice.” 

Across from them, Lux pretended to laugh at her emphasis on the word “handy”.

She bit her bottom lip and wiped a stray rain droplet from his chin, looking from his eyes to his lips and back again before adjusting his collar. 

“Yeah, I reckon’ we’re there. First round’s on me,” Rex replied, not breaking his gaze once from Ahsoka’s.

“Done,” Lux laughed. “We’ll follow you.” The young Senator disappeared into his ship with Emerie in tow, the ramp raising.

Karr’s discoveries could be dissected in the morning of the following rotation. There was nothing big or small with enough urgency to take precedence over this moment — for however long he and Ahsoka had each other. Rain dripped over his eyelids, prompting an orange thumb to swipe widely over his brow bone. 

“I don’t remember where we left off,” he spoke over the downpour.

“No?” she asked. “Because I recall you had something to tell me.” The twitch in her mouth was telling. He’d been made. His tongue darted out to wet his lips in a nervous tick and her starlit eyes lingered intently on the action.

Ahsoka leaned closer and peered up at him through wet lashes. “Do you want to say it or do you want me to show you how I feel about it?”

Before either could react to the words spoken, her fingers hooked into the loops on his belt and she pulled him into her, softening his stumble by catching his lips with her own.

[ahsokasupremacy]

Alright, here are my Top Ten funniest guesses (+1 that I bet nobody ELSE will guess) for who Inquisitor Marrok actually is!

You are most welcome to correct me or let me know who YOU think is most probable.

And just to challenge myself, I’m NOT putting Ezra. Because that would be too obvious.

1. Barriss Offee

I’m serious when I say that this is probably the most likely.

We know that she is a very important character in Ahsoka’s life, the writers could be trying to mislead us into thinking that the Force User is a man when really we have no confirmation that they are. Plus Dave Filoni has said in interviews that he refused to have the character make cameos just because he wanted to save her for later. Also, many people already speculated that Barriss became an Inquisitor after Order 66, explaining the double-sided Inquisitor lightsaber.

2. Darth Maul

Their build is a little too skinny for Darth Maul, and also wow, he must really be getting up there. And also, he died in Rebels. But when has that really ever stopped Disney from resurrecting him? I just think they should keep bringing him back. For the bit. I want the opening scroll for the upcoming Daisy Ridley movie to contain the words “Somehow, Darth Maul returned…”

3. Bo Katan

I highly doubt this because her character arc on the Mandalorian is already concluded, but I can kinda see her doing this as like, a side gig. Homegirl is probably broke from paying off Mandalore’s restoration fees. She’s not a Force User unfortunately, but when has that ever stopped her? I like to believe that Bo Katan simply woke up one day and decided to be Force Sensitive and it all kinda worked out for her somehow.

4. Lux Bonteri

If this is the option David Filoni is going with, BOOO. Yet another character who isn’t Force Sensitive. If you really think about it, Dave Filoni probably wants to include someone with an important history with Ahsoka, someone close to her that she held dear and that betrayed her and that she still has lingering feelings for.

Well actually that person is Barriss, and yknow, she kinda went MIA. Sooo the next best thing we could get is Lux, I guess!

5. Anakin (Force Ghost)

Daaaad, what are you doing here?

Well, the ghosts of Obi-Wan and Yoda told him to fuck off and get a job. So here he is. He’s putting in the work! He’s logging onto his Zoom! Ahsoka is gonna be sooo surprised when he finally takes off the mask and reveals it was him along. Just you wait! It’s gonna be so funny!

6. Korkie Kryze

Now we’re really starting to get big brained here.

In Legends, we have Jacen Solo. In the sequels, we have Kylo Ren.

But in the Brand New Republic era? Hark, a new villain arises. Korkie is embittered about being left behind and forgotten by his biological parents, Satine and Obi-Wan. And now he is out for revenge against all the Force Users and Mandalorians who abandoned him. Mwahahaha. We should’ve known he would turn out like this, he’s a ginger after all.

7. Ventress

This would technically make Dark Disciple non-canon? But I don't think Dave Filoni cares, considering he hilariously made the Ahsoka novel non-canon. Ventress is obviously very powerful and capable of dual-wielding and she would make a great candidate for an Inquisitor. Plus her and Morgan Elsbeth are both former Nightsisters so points for rapport.

8. Anakin’s Evil Clone

Hey, I mean Palpatine HAD to start somewhere, right? He didn’t just create Snoke without practice. I like to think he tried making a second Anakin at first, only to discover that Clonakin was a huge pain in the ass and doesn’t wanna follow orders just sit on the couch all day eating the space equivalent of Hot Cheetos.

9. Cal Kestis but he’s evil now

This one pretty much goes against everything we know about Cal but hey, I’ll take a live action Cal cameo any day now. I’ve been on the frontlines defending my babygirl Anakin since day one, don’t even try to lecture me about the ethics of stanning Darksider Cal.

9. Mara Jade

OK no more messing around!! I'm serious this time!

EVERYONE LISTEN CLOSELY!

I think the reason why Dave hasn't made any references to Eli, or Ar'alani, or Vahnya must be because he grew up on the 80s Legends trilogy (not the canon trilogy). Whenever Thrawn is mentioned, there is a direct reference to Heir to the Empire. The same novel where Mara Jade is introduced as the Hand of the Emperor. Coincidence? I think not! Obviously, this must be part of Dave Filoni's master plan to softlaunch the upcoming top secret Thrawn series adaptation.

10. Starkiller

My only real proof is that his name (Marek, Marrok) kinda sounds similar?

Making Starkiller canon would create a whole bunch of problems for the Star Wars timeline. I think his origin story is too Mary Sue-y for even Dave Filoni to try and integrate into current canon.

However, it would be interesting to see a showdown between Anakin's two former apprentices. Interesting, but unlikely.

And finally, for my last guess, I will tell you exactly who Marrok REALLY is. Kathleen Kennedy told me personally, so don't get mad at me! She said it, not me!

11. Luuke (the clone Palpatine made out of Luke's dismembered hand)

This is the ONLY correct answer.

Us Timothy Zahn enjoyers know that this was really Luuke all along. I told you, Snoke isn't the first clone that Palpatine made! I imagine he had a lot of downtime and got bored and decided to fuck around, and that's how we got Luuke.

And yes, I would cast Sebastian Stan to play him because I'm petty AF.

[lyaswriting]

Ok I really have a problem I think…

Because I was just writing my Captain Rex x Half Theelin OC Story and just realized a major plot hole in it…

Because essentially she is Obi Wan‘s new Padawan after her old master died (she‘s about 20 in my mind), and over time falls for Rex. And there‘s always the talk about how they couldn‘t be together because if someone found out Rex would get decommisioned.

But then I realized that Theelin are a species that is endangered/near extinct by the time of the clone wars… and that Ki Adi Mundi was also granted an exception to the no attachment rule because of this. And then I realized that if Rex were ever to be decommisioned, for being with this OC, they may be able to make a case of it because I read somewhere that Theelin have difficulties to conceive and as such their species is endangered. But that could be different if the partner was a clone, because then more of the species of the clone‘s partner could come through, like with Cut and Sue and their children.

And this seems to be due to Cut being a clone because other Twilek x Human Children are majorly human e.g. Jacen Syndulla.

And then I realized that if Rex would get arrested for being in love essentially which the Kaminoans would see as a defect, Padme could make a case of it if she decides to help, because then Rex would help essentially „keep an endangered species alive“ and could be granted citizen rights. And if you grant them to one clone, you have to give them to all.

And then I thought how the Kaminoan would want the counter it and maybe they slip up and reveal the inhibitor chips as a reason. And maybe Mace Windu would then start an investigation because a chip to override their free will? That cannot be right, and he‘d find out and then order the chips to be removed.

And the clones would become citizens, but Rex and OC would have to marry for it to hold.

But for this OC would also need the Jedi Councils approval, who are not amused at all, but grant it and maybe even losen the rule on attachments/abolish the rule with a little suggestion from Obi Wan.

And this is then when the chaos starts, and Anakin comes clean that he‘s married.

And then Aayla Secura and Bly also come clean.

And then Quinlan Vos.

And maybe Ahsoka then also wants to give Lux Bonterri a call.

And Mace Windu is already having a terribly no good day becaus what do you mean you lot never followed the code.

And then Obi Wan mentions how he will now fly to Mandalore and visit Satine, and maybe even see his son.

And that‘s it then, Mace Windu faints.

And Palpatine realises years of work have been undone by this, and is so furious he dies of a heart attack.

And once a new chancellor is elected, the war ends within a week and it‘s revealed that Palpatine was the sith lord.

And Rex is just shocked because… he just didn‘t want to die, how did this happen?

And Fives absolutely laughs his ass of.

And now excuse me, I need to go write this, but please tell me I‘m not insane.

Sabine Wren

Tale As Old As Time

Story Summary: On a cool evening night on Peridea, Sabine and Ahsoka discuss the stories they wish to leave as their legacy.

Evening was falling; a cool breeze whispered through the Noti encampment to herald the coming dark.

Preparations had already been made to move the next morning. Sabine had come to appreciate the constant movement of the strange crab-like beings that had welcomed them into their company. It gave her a sense of purpose; something to focus on in the meantime while her master figured out their next move.

Huddled around the campfire, her belly full after a good dinner consisting of some spicy stew, Sabine listened to the chatter of the Noti around her and gazed into the luminous night sky above.

“It still amazes me, no matter how much I look at it,” said a familiar voice. Sabine turned to find her master, Ahsoka Tano, walking up to the campfire, Huyang close behind.

Sabine agreed. Many evenings on Lothal had provided her with a wondrous view of the stars but Peridea had it beat by a large margin.

Ahsoka sat down next to her Padawan with a slight huff. After a moment, the older Jedi asked, “Would you like to hear a story, Sabine?”

Sabine blinked. “Aren’t I a little too old for bedtime stories?”

“One is never too old,” Ahsoka chided, “to hear a good story, my Padawan.”

Huyang offered, “I have plenty to offer in that department, Lady Wren.”

Sabine considered that. “What kind of stories?” she asked.

“Tales of the Jedi, and their numerous exploits across the galaxy,” said Huyang.

Sabine’s eyebrows raised in astonishment. “I thought the Empire wiped out all stories of the Jedi. Or replaced it with their own propaganda.”

“Oh, they tried,” replied Ahsoka. “To their credit, they did do a thorough job of it. Most of the modern galactic citizens don’t know much about the Jedi at all, despite the purge happening fairly recently in our lifetime.”

She smiled a little. “But they couldn’t erase all of it. The Jedi existed for a millennium before the Empire. Their stories are written in the very fabric of the galaxy.”

“Are there stories about you, Master?”

Ahsoka laughed. “Oh, I’m sure. I traveled a fair amount back in my youth.”

Sabine looked to Huyang with a grin. “Are there any funny ones about her, Huyang?”

Huyang pondered for a moment before replying. “There is one where she had to pretend to be someone’s fiancée. It was with a boy named Lux, I believe-”

Ahsoka, embarrassment coloring her tone, interrupted him. “Okay, maybe not that one.”

Sabine’s grin turned mischievous. “Oh, did you have a crush on him, my master?”

Ahsoka crossed her arms and sighed. “It was complicated. Happened during the Clone Wars.”

“Oh.” Sabine dropped her teasing. “What happened to him?”

Ahsoka seemed to withdraw into herself. “I’m not sure. I heard rumors of his death during the Rebellion.”

Sabine felt a gentle sadness and regret pulsing out from her master. She decided to drop the subject.

“What kind of story would you like to be remembered for, Lady Tano?” asked Huyang.

Ahsoka blinked at the droid. “That’s quite the question, Huyang.”

“You’re a hero,” suggested Sabine. “You’ve helped so many. So maybe a heroic story.”

“Jedi don’t do this to be remembered, Sabine,” reminded Ahsoka. “We do it because it’s right.”

The older Jedi stared into the fire. “I’m not sure I want to be remembered at all,” she confessed. “I haven’t always done the right thing.”

Sabine said, “But you’ve always done the best you can. I’ve never seen you settle for anything less.”

It felt weird defending Ahsoka against herself. She had rarely seen her master be so unsure before.

Ahsoka smiled appreciatively at Sabine. “That’s true.”

She looked at Huyang. “I suppose that’s the story I’d like to be known for: someone who tried her best to help out.”

“Very appropriate,” observed Huyang. “I’ll keep that in mind for future reference, Lady Tano.”

The droid turned to Sabine. “And you, Lady Wren? When the time comes, what kind of story would you like to leave behind?”

Sabine blew out a breath. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “It’s still being written.”

“A good answer,” said Ahsoka. “You’ll have plenty of time to decide.”

“I would suggest a comedy,” offered Huyang.

Annoyed, Sabine flicked a pebble at the droid. It dinged on his metallic exterior, satisfyingly.

Ahsoka laughed. “Go ahead with a story, Huyang. There’s a funny one with Master Yoda, if I recall? When he spent time with the Wookies.”

“Ah, yes,” said Huyang, approvingly. “That is a good story.”

Ahsoka settled into a more comfortable position. Sabine followed suit, leaning in with interest.

“A long time ago,” started Huyang, “in a galaxy, far, far away . . .”

When the story was over, Ahsoka stood and stretched her back. “You’ll take first watch?” she asked Sabine.

Sabine nodded. “Sleep well, Ahsoka. Same to you, Huyang.”

Huyang replied, “As a reminder: I am droid, and therefore do not require sleep.”

She rolled her eyes. “I will throw a bigger rock at you next time,” Sabine promised.

After they left, Sabine took a stick and poked at the campfire. The Noti had retired to their huts; she was alone with her thoughts.

She leaned back and gazed into the star-lit night sky over her head.

When the time comes, what kind of story would you like to leave behind?

Sabine thought of her life so far; what had been lost and sacrificed.

Her mistakes and failures.

Should it be a tragedy? A cautionary tale for others?

As she brooded, the fire began to die out. Reaching out for another log to feed it, she paused.

“I don’t want to be a tragedy,” she said out loud.

She tossed the log into the campfire and it roared back to life. Sabine watched the glowing embers rise on the night breeze, drifting into the night sky like fiery petals.

She thought of home. Not Mandalore - but Lothal. Her loth-cat, Murley.

Kanan. Hera. Jacen. Zeb. Chopper.

My family. The names repeated in her head, over and over, like some sacred prayer.

And, of course, whenever it was darkest for her, she thought of him.

Sabine looked back into the fire, feeling it’s warmth flow into her.

Ezra filled her mind and, like the campfire, beat back the darkness. It was his constant gift to her; making the dark small.

When the time comes, what kind of story would you like to leave behind?

Sabine smiled. She had her answer.

Whispering, Sabine says it to herself, as though she was uttering a private, secret wish.

“A love story.”

[spacelesbiandisaster]

Remember that Onderon Rebel who tried that flirt with Ahsoka but she was way too distracted by Steela Gerrera?

No not Lux Bonteri, I'm talking about

There's one scene were Ahsoka is teaching the rebels how to neutralize Droidekas (that's ball droid that comes with plasma shields) with bomb's, and Lux is the first one to do it. He then proceeds to "teach" Steela how to do it by grabbing her arm and having this little romance moments.

Not sure if I'm explaining right, but the scene had this vibe:

Meanwhile Ahsoka is staring like her soul depends on it and Saw gets to her and its like

"Hey Commander Tano, how about you teach me how to do it?" Wink wink.

And Ahsoka does help him, but doesn't get close to touch Saw and instead just gave verbal instructions.

After that Steela actually got away from Lux and instead of go talk to her male love interest Ahsoka actually go after Steela to console her for not being able to destroy the droid in her first try and then they got a little moment was well.

I actually believe that this was the moment Ahsoka realized she liked girls by how quickly she lost interest in Lux and the way she doesn't even acknowledge Saw's attempt to flirt with her.

I didn't find any gifs or prints for the scene were Saw flirt with her, but I swear it happened! Go check on the episode if you want to, it's going to be there.

So we have Saw Looking at Commander Tano, who is look at his sister, who's looking at Lux Bonteri, who's looking at every single one of them because he just can't keep his hands to himself.

I thought that arc gave us a love triangle, but it actually gave us a love square! And that makes Anakin and Rex reactions to this teen love drama so much funny (the boys of the 501s are going to love hearing all about this).

Luckily for Saw, he seem to get over that very fast and by the end of the arc he isn't even looking at Ahsoka anymore. I guess he just got over the fact that his sister is the popular one of the family... (At least until she died)

Better days || chapter 2

Today I released second and final chapter of my first fanfiction! I also decided to add some additional tags, as this chapter shows also relationship between Padme and Anakin and Bly and Aayla.

Give me also some advice about AO3 age rating system. I don't know, how should I rate my work.

Please let me know, if you liked this fanfiction or it sucks!

Warnings: swearing, drunk people and Lux being dick

Link to AO3:

Several days have passed since those events. For Padmé and Anakin, the day they wanted has finally arrived. Padmé went into labor. Anakin was very upset about Padme's birth, and was still haunted by memories of visions in which Padmé died during childbirth. He waited impatiently for a medical droid or a doctor to finally come out and tell him that everything had gone according to plan. Anakin informed Obi Wan and Ahsoka that labor had begun. He wanted someone to accompany him and support him at that moment. Seeing Anakin's behavior, the bearded man decided to calm him down a little: 

- Anakin, don’t be so nervous! Padme is in the best medical facility on Coruscant, she is under the care of professionals! In addition, she is now the chancellor, so she can always count on much better specialists than others! 

- Thank you Master for these words, you calmed me down a little. Maybe I'm actually panicking too much. But it takes a while. 

- Skyguy, everything will be fine! - Ahsoka said with a smile - Padme is a strong woman, she has been through a lot, so she will easily cope with childbirth! 

 - Thanks for these words Ahsoka! 

After a dozen or so minutes, the medical droid left the room where Padme was lying and began to walk towards Anakin. Anakin sprang from the chair he was sitting on and said to the droid: 

- How about her?! Everything went according to plan? 

- Mr. Anakin, yes, it all worked out! - the droid began to say - your wife gave birth to beautiful twins! Both your wife and newborn children are safe! 

Anakin's face turned pale and he slumped to his feet. Obi Wan caught him in time, otherwise he would have fallen to the floor. All three had shock and disbelief on their faces. Everyone, especially Anakin, thought Padme would only have one child. Nobody expected twins. After a moment, Anakin said: 

- Twins! I have twins! I will be the father of two children!  Tears began to gather in Anakin's eyes, he was very touched by this joyful news, after a moment he asked: 

- Can we go inside? 

- Yes, although your friends can only come in for a moment. The patient is very tired after the whole birth, so visits from people outside the family must be limited - replied the droid. 

They entered the room where Padme lay. The sight they saw confirmed what the droid had said earlier. Anakin's wife was very exhausted and tired of giving birth, but her face showed joy and contentment. Right next to her were newborn babies. 

- Ani! - said Padme in a weakened voice - everything worked out, why are you crying? - she asked seeing tears flowing down Anakin's cheeks 

- It's from happiness Padme! - He answered her then walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek. 

- How are our kids? 

- They are healthy, we have a boy and a girl - Padme said happily - take them in your arms - she added. 

Anakin pulled the girl out and carefully took her in his arms. He looked at her carefully, then said: 

- She looks a lot like you! I think she inherited many traits from you - Anakin said with a smile 

- Can I hold her? asked Ahsoka 

- Yes, just be careful - he said, handing the girl over to Ahsoka, then took the boy and said: 

- Honey, what shall we call them? 

- Ani, I think I've already come up with names that will be best for our children. I was thinking of naming the boy Luke and the girl Leia - announced Padme - what do you think Ani? 

- Padme, these are the most beautiful names. I don't think I could think of better ones – he replied 

- Obi Wan, would you like to hold him? - asked Anakin 

- Can I? I don't want to scare him… - Obi Wan started to say, but Anakin cut him off. 

- Master, you must hold him - Anakin said, handing Luke with the utmost care in Obi Wan's arms then added: 

- I feel like you're going to be a great uncle, Master! - he commented, seeing with what care his master looks at the child  

- And you Ahsoka, will be great aunt! - Padmé added in a cheerful voice 

- I have a good feeling about that! - Anakin said 

Ahsoka and Obi Wan both smiled upon hearing these words, but immediately afterwards Anakin's former master said: 

- I think we should get going now, we've been sitting here for a while, haven't we Ahsoka? 

- You're right, I even forgot that I made an appointment with Rex to go to one certain place. 

Hearing the Ahsoka’s words, Obi Wan, Anakin and Padme looked at each other and were unsure of what they had just heard. 

- With whom? - they said at the same time. 

- Well? I love him more than anything, and he loves me. And besides, I'm not a Jedi, so you can't blame me for anything. The Code no longer applies to me. 

- Calm down Ahsoka, no one is mad at you or holds any grudges. We're just very surprised by it - Anakin said, then added: 

- At least I see I wasn't the only one keeping my relationship a secret. I hope the Code will be reformed. I wonder how many Jedi still have some kind of secret love relationship, he said with a smile 

- I agree with the idea of reforming the Code - Ahsoka replied to his words 

- I support that too, Anakin. The Jedi Code was always changing. Changing some of the rules of the Code and how the Order works wouldn't be such a bad thing - Obi Wan added. 

Anakin laid down his children at this time, then thanked Obi Wan and Ahsoka for coming and visiting. 

A few days later  

Military medical facility  

As announced by Chancellor Padme Amidala, the chip removal process, mandatory for all clone troopers, began today. Each unit received guidelines on the time and place of the procedure. The 332nd company was one of the first to undergo this treatment. Rex was to undergo the procedure first. A moment before the procedure, he was very stressed, he was afraid that something might happen to him or the procedure itself would fail and he would die. Fortunately, he was accompanied by Ahsoka, who calmed him down and was with him all the time. Before starting the procedure, Rex hugged Ahsoka and kissed her before saying: 

- Just in case something... - Ahsoka interrupted him: 

 - Rex, this is completely safe! Pull yourself together and get in there! I will be with you all the time  

- Okay commander! - Rex said with a smile, then walked in. 

A few dozen minutes later  

Rex was lying in a hospital bed. He has not yet woken up since the end of the procedure. According to information from doctors, clones can wake up even after a few hours. Ahsoka sat by Rex's bedside all the time, waiting for him to wake up. She looked at the bandage on his head. This is where the chip was implanted. Ahsoka thought for a moment about what would have happened if things had turned out a little differently and taken a wrong turn. What if someone had issued Order 66 that Anakin mentioned. She wasn't a Jedi, so technically she shouldn't have been executed. But she couldn't imagine how, in an instant, the clones, the soldiers with whom the Jedi were fighting side by side, could turn against them and start killing them. At some point, she noticed that Rex began to move his fingers and slowly began to open his eyes. 

 She grabbed his hand and asked: 

 - How do you feel Rex?  

- Okay, Ahsoka - he began to grope his head at this point, and came across the bandage with his hand and said: 

 - So it was here that they installed these contrapties in us? 

- Looks like it, honey - Ahsoka said 

- You were right, it was safe, I didn't even feel anything when they pulled it out of me - Rex said happily, then added: 

- I think I slept a little, didn't I? 

- Yes, you lay down for a while, but you slept a short time anyway, because some clones may even wake up after a few hours - Ahsoka told him.  

The two talked a little more. Rex was discharged from the hospital the next day because he was healthy and did not show any symptoms that could indicate his poor health caused by undergoing surgery.   

2 weeks later  

During this period, 3 landmark events took place. The first thing was to capture the Separatist leaders. Republic intelligence tracked them down in the Mustafar system. Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were the commanders of the operation. The 501st Legion took part in the action, including the 332nd Company, formally commanded by Rex, but in fact Ahsoka Tano, and the 212th Battalion. The Jedi agreed to allow Ahsoka to participate in the operation as an "advisor", similar to the siege of Mandalore. For obvious reasons, she could not officially command any clone unit. The operation itself went quickly and efficiently. The troops encountered little resistance, and all the Separatists were captured and sent back to the Republic, where a peace treaty was signed with them. A few days after the treaty was signed, the trials of Darth Maul, Mas Medda and Separatists leaders took place. Darth Maul and Mas Medda were sentenced to death. The charges Darth Maul has received include treason against the Republic, genocide, Jedi assassinations, leading an organized crime group, and the murder of the Duchess of Mandalore. The sentence was carried out by beheading with a lightsaber. Mas Medda was charged with complicity in conspiracy, treason against the Republic, and deliberate misrepresentation of the Senate. The sentence was carried out by hanging. The Separatist leaders were originally sentenced to death, but these were later commuted to long prison sentences. The second major event was the completion of the investigation into the Kaminoan experiments. The investigation revealed that the Kaminoans were working on cloning the Zillo beast that attacked Coruscant earlier, and they also created female clones of Jango Fett. Two such clones were discovered: Emerie Karr, an adult woman whom the Kaminoans trained to conduct research and experiments. It was supposed to help the Kaminoans in their research. The second clone was a girl named Omega. She had not yet been given any functions, perhaps the Kaminoans were waiting until she became an adult woman. Kamino was placed under the strict supervision of the Republic, and the Jedi presence on its planet was increased from one to three. Any new experiments now had to be reported to the Jedi stationed there. Correctly, Lama Su and Nala Se, as well as the whole of Kamino, should be sanctioned even more for their continued support of Palpatine's plan, but it was decided that they would act from now on on on behalf of the Republic. They did not want to waste their previous achievements, and their research was decided to be used for good purposes. The first order of the Republic was to significantly reduce the production of clone troops. There was no need to produce an excess number of clones, because the conflict with the Separatists was resolved. It was also known that clones have accelerated aging, which is why the Kaminoans were commissioned to develop a special vaccine with a special substance that would inhibit the rapid aging process and restore normal aging. In addition, the newly created clones were to have accelerated aging until they reached an age adequate to the clone's function. The last important thing that happened at that time was the issue of granting rights to clone troopers. Pantoran senator Riyo Chuchi took up the fight for clone rights, but convincing the Galactic Senate of her demands was an extremely difficult task. Although it won the support of several senators, there were still not enough senators to convince the rest of the Senate to grant rights to clones. Some of the postulates of the pantoran senator included: 

Granting a Senate seat to one clone, who will represent the interests of all clone troopers 

Granting civil rights and allowing clones to participate in public life 

Providing the clones with decent living conditions after their service ends 

Unfortunately, Riyo Chuchi knew that she had a difficult task ahead of her, and it might be some time before she could convince the other senators to support her idea. 

One week later  

Anakin, Obi Wan, and Ahsoka decided to meet at Dexter's bar, owned by Obi Wan's friend. It was Dexter who once helped Obi Wan find Kamino when he was looking for the assassin who tried to kill then-senator Amidala. The three friends talked to each other about the events that have taken place recently and the ceremonial parade that will take place to celebrate the end of the war. At some point, Rex unexpectedly entered the bar, followed closely by Cody and Wolffe. 

- And what brings you here? - Obi Wan asked 

 - Let me guess, you probably did something and are afraid to say? - Anakin added, laughing  

- We didn't do anything wrong - Rex said, then continued - Ahsoka knows why we came here, because I told her about our idea yesterday. 

 - What idea? - Obi Wan asked 

 - Well, together with the guys we thought that maybe we could invite others and organize an unofficial celebration of victory at 79s cantina? 

- So you want to throw a party, right? - said Anakin 

- We thought it would be good to integrate and get to know a little bit from a different side. Well, you understand, so far we know each other only from the military, professional side. - Cody said 

- And besides, we want you to participate, because this event would also be a kind of thanks to you! You saved our lives more than once! - finished Wolffe 

- I can count on you, my darling, right? - Rex turned to Ahsoka 

- Sure - she replied 

- And you accept our invitation? - Rex asked Anakin and Obi Wan 

- I'd have to ask Padme what she thinks. You know we have kids now and things... but I don't think she should mind. 

- It's okay, just let me know as soon as possible, because we plan to arrange it all in 3 days 

- If you're coming, I'm coming too - Obi Wan said, then added - and who else have you invited? 

- We actually sent invitations to all the Jedi who led us and some senators. There will definitely be master Plo Koon, Aayla Secura and senator Riyo Chuchi. We are still waiting for answers from the rest. - Rex replied 

- Well, this is going to be a party Coruscant will never forget! - Anakin said laughing 

3 days later  

The party at 79s cantina had been going on for several hours. Most of the invitees agreed to come, although some refused and did not come. This group included Mace Windu. Inside the cantina it got very colorful. Clones from various units came to it, which was synonymous with the fact that they wore uniforms in colors symbolizing individual units. And that's how you could watch the 327th Star Corps drink together with the Coruscant Guard and hear stories from soldiers of the 104th Battalion and the 501st Legion. Some, slightly more drunk clones arranged various competitions and games, while others danced with the women present in the cantina. It also seemed that Ahsoka wasn't the only one who had found her love in the clone. Sitting at the table, Ahsoka noticed Bly holding Aayla Secura's hand. It didn't last long, because after a while, Aayla gave Bly her gaze telling him to hide his hand, and then whispered something in his ear.  

- She probably wants their relationship to remain a secret. She is afraid that she will suffer some consequences because of this. - Togruta thought 

After a few minutes, the Twi’lek Jedi Master got up from the table and headed for the bathroom. Seeing this, Ahsoka decided to follow her. 

- Where are you going? - Rex asked 

- I'll be right back - Ahsoka replied 

Togruta quickly followed Aayla and managed to catch her just before the door. 

- Are you having fun? - Aayla Secura began 

 - Of course! What about you?  

- Me too - the two women entered the bathroom. Ahsoka quickly made sure that no one was in the toilet stalls and no one was coming. She tried to ensure discreet and privacy for Secura as possible, and she didn't want anyone to hear their delicate conversation. 

- Aayla, are you in love with Bly? 

Aayla's face was shocked, she hadn't expected such a question from her Togrutan friend. After a moment, slightly frightened, she spoke:  

- How do you know that?  

- I saw you holding hands for a moment.  

- Damn, I just told him not to do it in front of others because someone might see it. Yes, we are together, but we remain hidden for obvious reasons. - Twi'lek replied nervously, and then added: 

- We quietly hope that the Code will actually be reformed soon, so that we can freely show up together, without fear of consequences.  

Seeing Aayla Secura's stress and nervousness, Ahsoka decided to calm her down:  

- Relax, don't be nervous. You can always count on me, I will never betray you. And if someone asks, I will say that I drank too much and something predicted me or that I do not remember anything.  

Hearing Ahsoka's words, Aayla breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the Togruta saying:  

-Thanks! You don't even know how important it is for me and Bly! I am very happy that I can count on your discretion!  

- No problem! I understand how you feel, you don't want to experience extra stress - Ahsoka said. Ahsoka then left the bathroom and Aayla occupied one of the toilets. Walking to the table where she had been sitting earlier, the Togruta looked around the room a bit and noticed that Obi Wan was nowhere to be found. As she sat down at the table, she decided to ask where Obi Wan had gone:    - I'm back, where is Obi Wan?    - He said he was going to get some air outside the cantina - Anakin replied    - He's been gone for a while - Rex pointed out    - Actually, he said he would only go for a while, and he's been gone for several dozen minutes - added Padme    - I'll see what’s going on with him - Anakin said, getting up from the table 

Anakin went to the exit of the cantina, in the meantime he was accosted by a certain commando: 

- General, are you running away already? - he say a little incomprehensibly. You could smell alcohol from his mouth. He must have drunk a lot. 

- I'm just going to get some air for a moment - Anakin replied to him, and then he suddenly heard someone calling the commando: 

- Gregor! Leave him alone and come back to us! - the unknown clone screeched    - Okay, okay, I'm coming! - said Gregor, who staggered to the table from which he had heard the call. 

Anakin stepped outside the cantina and began to look around. He saw many clone soldiers and other party attendees who also went out to get some fresh air or smoke a cigarette. At one point, he noticed one of the clones vomiting and the other holding him up. Young Skywalker finally managed to find Obi Wan. He stood alone, leaning against the wall, and looking out over the panorama of Coruscant. He seemed to be thinking about something. Anakin finally walked up to him and spoke: 

- Here you are Master! And I'm looking for you everywhere, we've already started to worry, because you're not coming back for a long time.  

-You know, I left because I had to think things a little bit. Anakin stood next to him and listened to what the bearded Jedi was saying: 

- We won the war, but look Anakin at the cost to all of us. How many towns, villages, had been destroyed, how many people had lost their - his voice began to break - loved ones. 

After saying these words, Obi Wan looked up into the starry sky. Tears began to roll down his cheeks. Anakin quickly connected the facts and guessed what, or rather who Obi Wan meant:  

- You miss Satine, am I right?  

- Yes, you don't even know how much I miss her! Why did I have to suffer so much? First I lost my master, then Maul murdered the love of my life in front of my eyes! Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake. Maybe I could have left the Order when I was still a young Padawan of Qui-Gon, at least I would have spent some time with Satine. 

Anakin listened to Obi Wan's monologue and wondered how to comfort him. After thinking about it, he said:  

- Master, I think Satine would be very proud of you! You helped her sister liberate Mandalore, you can control your emotions and thanks to this you are not consumed by the dark side. Satine would be immensely grateful for what you have done so far for her, her sister, and the entire Mandalore! 

They stood for a moment in silence, which was interrupted by Obi Wan:  

- Thank you, Anakin! I needed this conversation, I had to finally tell someone about what was constantly on my heart! You're like a brother to me, I'm glad I have someone like you! - He patted Anakin on the shoulder, then added:  

- I hope that Bo Katan will consider the Jedi and the Republic's participation in the liberation of her planet. My dream is that we will finally have a good relationship with the Mandalorians. They would be good and powerful allies. May this be the first step towards establishing good relations with the Republic for the first time in history. I also hope that Bo Katan will honor Satine in some way. Despite being enemies in the political arena, Bo Katan loved and respected her sister very much. 

With these words, the two Jedi began to return to the cantina. As they sat back at the table, Padme spoke:  

- Where have you been for so long? We thought something had happened to you, I was about to go looking for you!  

- We were talking in front of the cantina, you could come to us! - Anakin replied  

A group of friends started talking to each other and sipping drinks. Suddenly, everyone heard a powerful bang and the sound of a smashed bottle. The music stopped playing and everyone started looking around the room to find the source of the sound. Immediately afterwards, all eyes were on Wrecker, who, trying to get up from the table, pushed the bottle with his hand and fell to the floor. He was drunk. At that time, Hunter burst into the canteen, who was gone for a long time. You could see on his face the nervousness of the situation he saw after entering the cantina: 

- Fuck! You cannot be left alone even for a moment! How many times have I told you not to let Wrecker drink alcohol!? shouting, he walked to the table of the Bad Batch, and there was laughter all over the room, and then the music sounded again and everyone went back to what ther were doing. 

- Echo, Tech, help me pick him up! We'll take him to the Marauder. The members of the Bad Batch stood up and slowly began to lift their friend. Crosshair was watching them, giving them his characteristic smile. 

- And what are you waiting for? Move your ass and help us! After all, the three of us will not be able to carry him! - Hunter ordered, then the sniper reluctantly stood up and proceeded to help. The whole situation looked comical! Minutes later after the incident, Padmé noticed it was time to go home:  

- Ani, we should be leaving now!  

- You're right, darling!  

The Skywalkers said goodbye to their friends and began to wait for the pilot to come after them. Half an hour later, Obi Wan decided to return to the temple, and an hour later Ahsoka with Rex left the canteen. It was late at night and more and more people were starting to leave the party. The party in the cantina has already ended, but everyone who was there will have nice memories of the moments that they experienced together with their friends! 

One week later  

The day has come for the parade that will march through the streets of Coruscant. It was decided to organize it to celebrate the victory of the Republic in the devastating war for 3 years and the defeat of the Sith. Representatives of military units from other planets were also invited to the march. Only senators or leaders came from some of the planets, because not every planet had its own armed forces. The most important people in the Republic sat in special seats. Right next to Chancellor Amidala, the Jedi Council and some military commanders took their seats, including Wulff Yularen and the not very popular Wilhuff Tarkin, who did not have a very good reputation among clones. Next to them were senators, leaders of planets invited to take part in the parade, and other Jedi. Ahsoka also sat in the VIP area. Her contribution to winning the war and her help in command was appreciated, despite the fact that she was no longer a Jedi, and she was allowed to sit next to the most important people. A large crowd of citizens gathered around the entire route, who wanted to take a closer look at the presented military equipment and the march of soldiers. The march was opened by a representation of the Coruscant Guard, led by Commander Fox. Seeing the commander of the Guard, Riyo Chuchi began waving at him. Ahsoka has heard rumors that Pantoran has crush on Fox. Right behind soldiers was the passage of BARC soldiers on speeders. Moments later, LAATs in the colors of the Coruscant Guard flew over the heads of the assembled crowd. This was followed by a march by the 501st Legion and the 332nd Company. Ahsoka quickly grabbed her holo-tablet and began recording the march. Rex asked her the day before the parade to record the moment when the unit she had commanded would be walking. Rex was very curious to see how his team fared at the parade. The clones were followed by AT-TE walkers and AT-RT rovers, and ARC-170 and Y-Wing star fighters flew in the air. After passing these walkers, the audience saw the representation of the 41st Elite Corps, which took part in the Battle of Kashyyyk. The soldiers were followed by HAVv A6 Juggernaut tanks, followed by clones from the 327th Star Corps. Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared over everyone, the assembled crowd reacted quickly and looked up to see what was above their heads. A low-flying Venator-class star destroyer appeared before their eyes. After passing all the representatives of individual units of the Grand Army of the Republic and troops from other planets, at the end the Volunteer Army of the Republic, a newly formed formation of the armed forces of the Republic, was presented. It was open to citizens who were willing to defend the Republic against threats and to bring peace to systems that were turbulent. The elite unit of the Republic Volunteer Army, whose members were the best of the best, were stormtroopers. The purpose of both groups was to carry out anti-terrorist operations, escort VIPs, conduct peacekeeping missions and support the Grand Army of the Republic. After the parade, many important personalities decided to speak and give speeches. 

One month later  

The Galactic Senate has finally reached a breakthrough! Pantoran Senator Riyo Chuchi's demands to grant rights to clones have been implemented! The first clone in history to represent the clones' interests in the Senate is Rex. Initially, he did not want to accept this function, because he believed that he was not suitable and did not know politics. However, he was convinced by Ahsoka and his brothers, who explained to him that there was no better clone than him who could act as a senator. In addition, he could always count on the support of the Chuchi, which somehow became a symbol of the fight for the rights of clones. Eventually, Rex agreed to serve as senator of all clones and began drafting the first bills, which he wanted to introduce in the Senate after some time. His additional task was also to supervise the observance and fulfillment of Riyo Chuchi's postulates. Unfortunately, not everyone was happy with Rex's Senate seat and support for Chuchi's ideals. One such person was Lux Bonteri, a senator from Onderon who had crush on Ahsoka in the past. One day, he led to an unpleasant situation in which he humiliated Rex and the other clones and insulted Ahsoka. After the deliberations, Rex went out into the corridor, where the Togruta was waiting for him: 

- Hello my senator! - Ahsoka said with a smile  

- Hi! - Rex told her, then kissed her on the cheek 

 They began to head for the exits, and Ahsoka asked him:  

- How was today?  

- Honestly, it's nothing interesting! - Rex began to say - we still vote only on taxes and some unimportant bills. The job of a senator is not as exciting as serving in the army! 

They both laughed and then continued talking to each other about slightly different topics. However, they did not notice that they were being followed by Lux, who after a few minutes of tracking decided to speak: 

- Well, who am I seeing here, Ahsoka Tano! - he said dismissively - I see you like to fuck with clones! I still love you all the time, please be with me! You'll have a better life with me than with this... thing! 

On the faces of Rex and Ahsoka, first there was shock caused by the words of the Onderon senator, and then nervousness. Rex was about to punch Lux in the face, but Ahsoka stopped him. 

- Fuck off from us, okay? I never felt anything for you and never will! We won't be a couple! - Ahsoka said furiously 

- I still think you're making a mistake. I also believe that giving "test tubes" a seat in the Senate is the biggest mistake the Senate has made! Now listen to me CLONE! I will always vote against the bills you support and create, and I will ruin your senatorial career. - Lux, after saying these words, spoke to Ahsoka: 

- And you got kicked out of the Order for being a whore or there was other reason? 

Rex couldn't stand it and finally reacted to Lux's words: 

- Listen to me now, you bastard! First, no one asked you for your opinion on my bills and the wisdom of giving clones a seat in the Senate. Secondly, you can vote against me, I am supported by the majority of senators anyway, so your miserable opposition will make me laugh. And thirdly, if you continue to insult me or Ahsoka, I will talk to you differently! 

Ahsoka listened with bated breath as Rex crushed Lux. She had never seen Rex in such anger. Lux was speechless, he didn't expect Rex to answer him so harshly.  

- What choked you up so much,? In the Senate, you're never talkative either! - added Rex Wanting to prevent further escalation, Ahsoka grabbed Rex's hand and said:  

- Let's go Rex, leave that jerk already! 

The pair turned and walked away from Lux with a little quicker step. The Onderon senator stood stunned for a moment, then walked in an unknown direction. Moments later, Ahsoka began to say to Rex: 

- Thank you Rex for saving me from him!" I've never seen you like this. 

- I just hate it when someone insults the woman I love - Rex told her - They may offend me, but I'll never let anyone talk badly about you! - as he said these words, he put his arm around Ahsoka. 

A few days later, Ahsoka and Rex learned that Lux had been dismissed as senator by his superiors in Onderon. Apparently, he was demoted to some insignificant position because of acting in the Senate under the influence of emotions and neglect of duties. For Ahsoka and Rex, this meant that they would probably not meet the problematic senator soon. In the meantime, a group of clones from the 501st legion came up with a very good initiative. They secretly collected money that they want to spend on building a monument commemorating clone 99, who died defending Kamino, and Fives, who was wrongly shot while trying to apprehend. The idea was supported by Senator Rex, and after a short time it was decided that a monument to clone 99 would be erected on Kamino, and a monument commemorating Fives would be placed in the square next to the wall with the names of soldiers who died during the first battle of Geonosis. Boards were added to each of them with information about both clones and the deeds they performed. 

3 weeks later  

A touching event took place at Ryloth. On the initiative of the parents of Numa, a girl who was saved during the war by the clone Waxer, it was decided that one of the rebuilt schools would be named after the fallen clone. The opening ceremony of the school was attended by Boil, the clone who found the girl with Waxer, Obi Wan Kenobi, as well as Senator Rex. Jedi Master Kenobi himself has also been commemorated. In one of the cities, an avenue was put into use, which was called Obi Wan Kenobi’s Avenue. Meanwhile, the Republic began to withdraw troops from planets that had previously been covered by hostilities. On some planets, however, it was decided to leave small garrisons, in which soldiers changed every few months. Republic also began to monitor the situation on Mandalore, which was still in conflict. Although Bo Katan Kryze managed to control a much larger part of the planet, there are still isolated groups of rebellious Mandalorians resisting. Several times there were negotiations with the Mandalorians, who did not want to submit to Bo Katan, but they did not bring any result. Small Republic troops were left on Mandalore after the siege to provide assistance to Bo Katan, but they were too weak, so discussions began to send a peacekeeping mission led by the Jedi to de-escalate the conflict as soon as possible. 

2 weeks later  

A very important and personal event took place for Anakin. After much discussion in the Senate, slavery was finally banned across the galaxy! Anakin, who was a slave as a child, like his late mother, welcomed the news. This decision also marked the launch of many operations aimed at breaking up human trafficking groups and freeing slaves. Aayla Secura and Bly also had reasons to be happy. The Jedi Council began to implement a project to reform the Code. This meant lifting the ban on attachment. It was also decided to send a peacekeeping mission to Mandalore. These were some of the most serious steps to restore justice and peace to the galaxy. However, the Republic still had a few problems ahead of it. These included piracy, cartels and other criminal groups, terrorist organizations and planets that were lawless or mired in civil wars. However, it was only a matter of time before the Republic dealt with these problems. Everyone knew that better and safer times had come!

[truetgirl]

slaps Ahsoka's head Today's pride headcanon character can fit so many lightsaber colors in her! In all seriousness, let's talk about how Ahsoka "girl of the week" Tano is 100% a lesbian.

Oh, Ahsoka, my beloved. Fun fact: she's on the shortlist of "characters that trans'd Kelly's gender" and is probably the character on that list that I've been into for the longest. But, I digress! We're here to talk about why I think this girl is gay and you should too.

First up, let's cover the elephant in the room: Lux. There's some interesting material to be had with Lux Bonteri, it's true, but his supposed "romance" with Ahsoka is not one that I ever really bought. For one thing, Ahsoka pretty much always has bigger fish to fry than that stuff when they see each other, and so should he, but he spends a lot of time being creepy and overly forward. There's stuff here, just not stuff I'd build a ship with.

As for my actual reasoning as to why Ahsoka is gay?

Also Kaeden Larte, but since she's strictly an Ahsoka novel character I've got no official art for her.

Take Aksoka's dynamics with these four along with how she seems to charm her way through random side character girls' good graces almost constantly? Yeah, you get the picture. Barriss, in particular, I think is interesting because I remember having seen one of the writers of Weapons Factory say that they had been trying to drop hints for that on purpose. Unfortunately, I can't find the quote right now, so if anyone else can, please help me out here lol.

Puppy Love- Lux x Ahsoka

Return to File- Event Masterlist

Recovery date: July 21st, 2022

Description: In which Ahsoka surpassed her Masters in first loves.

Notes: An entry from my 2022 research project into the universe of Star Wars. You can find the next entry here.

Back to directory

The first time Ahsoka’s heart fluttered and her stomach churned when Lux actually looked at her, she panicked. It was a weird feeling, and it was very similar to when a plan started to go wrong on the battlefield.

She chalked it up to him being a separatist, even though Padme trusted his mother, she didn’t trust either of them.

“How many separatists have you met?” He asked as she walked away.

That should have been her first clue that she didn’t see him as a threat, she turned her back on him. It was because she trusted Padme, she told herself when thinking back on it.

---

The first time Lux’s heart clenched in his chest and his stomach churned, he offered to take her bag. It wasn’t special, just a common courtesy, but her eyes were beautiful. They were sharp and guarded, he should’ve taken offense, but he didn’t.

“May I?”

He reached for her bag and she pulled away, glaring at him, and he couldn’t help the faint smile that pulled at his lips. It was admiration, he was sure of it, if she really was a jedi it meant she risked her life for her cause. That was something he could admire, at least in principle.

---

The second time, for both of them, is their first goodbye.

Their sincerity catches them both a little off guard, even though they’d realized they were not the enemies they thought they were.

“You really think the republic would vote for peace?”

“I hope so. I wouldn't want to meet you on the battlefield, for your sake.”

It’s sincerely right up until the end, she’s teasing him, but there’s genuine worry. Lux is not built for a fight, and a part of Ahsoka worries what would happen if he got caught up in one.

Then she smiles at him, she really smiles, and he gives her a small smile back.

While Ahsoka’s butterflies dissipate quickly, focusing back on her trip and Padme, Lux’s linger a little longer.

---

Ahsoka forgets about the feeling, it’s an attachment she can’t have. Lux becomes drawn into his grief and anger after his mother’s death. They move on.

And then he bursts into the meeting on Mandalore and Ahsoka’s stomach sinks, a bad feeling crawling up her spine. 

“You didn’t mention that Lux Bonteri would be here.”

“I didn’t know.”

“I stand before you, son of Mina Bonteri, loyal separatist, a patriot, a friend.”

He looks at her when he says friend, and the bad feeling backs off and her expression softens. The corner of his lips quirk up, and it comes back like a tsunami. This would not end well.

“It has come to my attention that my mother was murdered by Count Dooku in cold blood!”

[graylinesspam]

Well well if it isn’t the foreshadowing of the clone rebellion on kamino we’re witnessing (is it? IS IT??? Please be it).

No but really, are you actually planning on writing this kind of ending or you’re sticking to the canon?

Anyway im having a lot of thoughts, most of them are AGAFAGGAZGAVAVAVVAAGHAVSVSSVS I LOVE IT. IT WAS SO CUTE AND THEN GOT SO FREAKING SAD AND THEN GOT CUTE AGAIN AND THEN THE PLOT TWIST????? ALPHA PLANNING A COUP RIGHT UNDER THE LONG NECK’S NOSES HELLO????? BRILLIANT

Also

DID REX OFFICIALLY ADOPT AHSOKA MANDO STYLE ???? Did the rest of the torrent do the same omfg they’re literally family 🥹🥹🥹

Rex trying to keep teenage cadets away from Ashoka is both cute and hilarious. He is such a dad.. ahem… brother material 👀

And I absolutely love the way you characterized Shaak Ti. Everyone always portray her as this wise Jedi that cares about the clones just like Plo Koon. And that’s true to some extent but she is so wrong for sitting in her own bubble and refusing to see the way kaminoans and trainers abuse them. She's a kind soul and means well but she totally lacks critical thinking. (but also yeah I would love to see her finally being able to adopt a few baby clones and raise them as her own sons. Such a touching moment it was, right until the aiwha baits ruined it that is)

And Kamino being compared to the eye of the storm is such a poetry honestly yk it rhymes

In conclusion, wonderful chapter as usual.

Okay. So much happened this chapter. Let me bullet point my response.

I likely won't get around to writing a clone rebellion in SH, though one is definitely planned for ASOI. I just can't see the war ended (without the empire's rise) and there nit being a clone uprising. But yeah ask me about that for ASOI and I might tell you my plans.

Yes, Rex officially adopted Ahsoka previously in SH. Off-screen. He knows her name as his sister and all that. I chose Rex partially because he's more traditional and sentimental than a lot of her other brothers. Kix has also said the vows but the rest of Torrent didn't feel the need to. They heard that Rex adopted her and basically went,"Sister? Ah ok, sister." *vigorous nodding*

I don't like to focus too much on Ahsoka's relationships with boys, but also y'know everyone (within age or developmental range) had a crush on her during the war. Cal, Kannan, Lux, Korkie, some clone cadets. She's just a pretty girl. But yeah no Rex overheard like one remark about her and moved an entire class and had them running laps for hours. He does not play.

He is absolutely her Dad-ish in the beginning. They develop a more on par relationship as she grows up and then eventually he fully relinquishes social rank to her. IE not being her elder anymore. But the whole Brothers raising brothers, line was the most important from that section.

Shaak Ti is traumatized and depressed. That's what this is. The Jedi never should have been in a war. That's it. And trying to run a war when you're completely unqualified hurts everyone. Which isn't to say they have a lot of choice. Realistically if she stood up one day and decided that the Kaminoans needed to surrender all of the clones to the jedi and stop producing them she'd be removed from her station and ignored. There's really nothing she can do. And she knows it. Which is why she lives with her hands over her "ears". Because if she just holds on and does a little good every day maybe she can actually change something one day. (the pessimistic view being it's futile in the face of the rising empire of which she's an active participant in building.) (and the more optimistic AU view being that Ahsoka succeeds in ASOI and the clones go free but they have to unpack their abuse in a plee for citizenship forcing the galaxy to realize what Kamino did and what Shaak participated in. Likely resulting in her retirement.) either way not pleasant for her.

Maybe she does end up with some sons, depending in which older clones decide they want to ally with her. It's all gonna be communal raising of the children.

The whole theme of this arc was really that there is no peace in war. So long as the storm rages you'll always have to step back into it. Only by pushing through to the other side can you escape it. But yeah I put SO much effort into the environmental symbolism. I was planning this for months before I started writing it.

So thank you so much for the ask and for reading the latest chapters. I had a blast writing them. Fingers crossed no one is too mad about my characterization of Shaak, I guess we'll find out.

LOVE & ROMANCE HEADCANON PROMPTS

😍 = Does your muse have any crushes? If so, who are they?

kdjfhalkjfhladkfjg....yeah. she hoards those crushes like thorny little pets in her pockets so they keep jabbing at her uncomfortably. depends in where in her life it is, though.

pulling from all canon sources to start, it's been kidd kareen (cutest little danger playground crush ever), lux bonteri (questionable broody hot guy), and kaeden larte (gorgeous and a little too curious) even though she had Some Timing telling ahsoka she'd kiss her right after they switched gears from rescue to defense. still, ahsoka did like her. and it was because ahsoka liked her that she didn't want to stay in touch. there was too much risk of putting kaeden and miara in dire danger again. with all three, ESPECIALLY with lux and kaeden, ahsoka shows that she's got very interesting and unfortunate luck with love interests.

as for my blog canon, oh boy. that there's a list and ahsoka is mad at herself for so many of them because she's essentially offering her heart up on a platter for pain. but for the first time in her life for many of these, she follows through. SO: we've got boba fett (this one should account for THREE. they're the galaxy's longest on and off relationship), an adult crush on elias kanu because even though they were padawans together they were on very different sides of the war post 66 and after alderaan very different levels of people-ing, then there's an adult crush on captain rex because ahsoka realized just how much he added to her life and dammit she missed him, captain vaughn since they practically grew up together and fought so closely, and i'm also running with the idea that ahsoka likely had a bit of a crush on barriss offee, but unlike the above that was very brief and went nowhere. and the longer she lives, there's bound to be even more. she is not immune to The Feelings.

Little Un

Summary: Ahsoka loves his men at the bottom of her heart, she will do everything to protect them from any possible dangers even if she had to risk her life.

She was their Vod'ika their little sister in Mando'a, but things wasn't quite right when Ahsoka had this fleeting feelings of infatuations between them that she couldn't fathom, a sexual awakening when she could see the torrent company as more than just her boys, but men in her own right, even she was devastated heartbroken when she found out that her Captain was already taken.

When she wanted to be his first.

Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Jealousy, Confession, Ahsoka loves his men including his captain, Rex has a girlfriend, Complicated Relationship, Temporal underage drinking, Declaration of Love, 501st Loves their Commander.

Rex, Kix, Jesse, Fives, Echo, Hardcase, Tup, Dogma,

A sea of distinctive faces and voices, but unique on their own looks of individualism  that echoes their personality.

While she grew up on this battalion, the men were very keen on protecting their Vod'ika on this treacherous battle, many times had she possibly risked her life to save them in the jaws of death even though she was gratuitously the favorite head acne of the torrent company. 

Head strong just like her Master, a terrible trait that she was heavily influenced by.

She was certain of herself to accomplished her goals to be a Knight of the Order even it feared her to face the consequences of it, that's why she wanted to be good, and sometimes you need to learn from the experience, and throughout her journey as a Jedi were known to be peacekeepers in the galaxy now that they we're soldiers of the Republic, despite their livid opinions to the codes, nobody willing to broach the subject even they have a morally views about attachment that we're considerably frowned upon.

And Ahsoka was uncertain about her growing attachment with the men that will only leave a heavy heart in the pit of her chest, but to continue to accept them; and Rex was one of them.

The closer she gets to his captain, lest it become an infatuation. 

She was there when they lost another brethren from the frontlines, and Ahsoka didn't hesitate to enter their barracks to comfort them, she was their to handed Tup a sweetened Juja fruit candy, and she was there for Hardcase to stay with him at the Med bay too enlightened his mood, and her captain Rex was their to accompany him on his reports talking about their per usual day about battle and what not or Fives cooperating about his notorious shenanigans or Echo and Dogma listening attentively about manuals that she was eager to learned the amount of knowledge in the military or Jesse, Kix helping on their  inventory that she was sorely comply, but nonetheless that they we're pleased about her companionship, and she did everything to her best of her behavior to love his men of the 501st.

And she was their Vod'ika there little sister, and for Rex she called me her 'little Un' which is so sweet.

When I was kidnapped by Lux Bonteri all that happened in the campaign were the Death Watch allocated; she never expected that he would steal her first kiss that was supposed to be her captain, everything came so fast suddenly after that kiss when I'm the one who did it, just so our undercover wouldn't exposed.

Guesses were not really subtle enough when the truth was finally revealed, and when I  told this to Rex realizing it would impact his jealousy over that Bonteri boy. I was overwhelmed for a fact that Rex truly loves me.

Sometimes I thought about my relationship to the Order and my men, but it doesn't matter.

When I could no longer control my feelings anymore. 

The men on the torrent invited me to the bar where they never allowed me to come, since I already grew fondly at their taunts to celebrate my life day, but my Captain wouldn't allow me to drink a single each of Alcohol, so I would go home sober, which I reluctantly agreed to.

And yet I couldn't barely contain myself that I was going to confess my feelings to him.

But there's an inner part of me thinking about the possible rejection that was about to come, Ahsoka disemboweled this into her thoughts, and a flash of grin when the Commander of 104th came and greeted me along with his men.

The music was fascinatingly loud, and vibrating to our ears, along with the inebriated clones laughing joyously. It was the first time that Ahsoka witnessed these men to be so openly brash and carefree publicly, even in the face of the war they deserve all the joy they enquire in this cruel galaxy.

Ahsoka tried to have a constant glances from his captain who sat on the  barstool with a hand clutch on his glass of alcohol, talking with Commander Wolffe cracking about some wild battle stories; he suddenly met her eyes and his luscious lips curled upward that Ahsoka felt her blood rushing to her cheeks, and return her gaze to Fives talking to him the way she was absorbed on his conversation.

She hadn't put a sterling effort to approach him, there's a feeling of anxiousness that lived within her chest.

Ahsoka briefly glances at his captain when he slides to his barstool leaving her glass on the stool.

This was the time that Ahsoka excuse herself to go to the fresher. It's not as if the men would care; Ahsoka passed between the dancing patrons making her way from where Rex disappeared, and waved at Wolffe who arched an uncertain brow, his lips pressed in the tip of his glass, as he returned his gaze on the view of the party.

Her heart pounds in anticipation when Ahsoka punches the button and the entrance slide opens, and  goes outside at the back of the dark alleyway, feeling the faint signature of his captain not far within her reach.

She wrapped her arms, wondering why Rex would come outside looking searchingly.

The alleyway stretched silently, and moved to the side when she spotted a clone and a human woman from the distance having a time to experience pain and pleasure when she was pinned against him, hands were on top, and one leg was wrapped between his waist.

Her lekku suddenly turned a shade of blue, and darted her attention from the debauchery, continuing her search for her missing captain.

" Oh, Rex~"

Ahsoka stopped.

Does she hear it right? 

Ahsoka was unsure whether the human was calling someone by the same name of his captain; she wanted to deny this chasm of loss and slowly returned her attention from where the couple was being held in a frivolous activity.

The artificial Led gave away the color blond of his blonde shaven hair, the way they kissed passionately when she could almost see Rex face from the distance, shutting her eyes on the world, embracing the woman as if he was his dear life.

When their lips parted.

The woman smiled.

"My captain~"

Her Captain?

Ahsoka felt her heart fall into a million pieces.

A spark of anger coiled into her chest like she wanted to tear that throat with her bare fingers---she stopped, and cast her eyes on the ground, and immediately hid behind  the wall.

She couldn't believe what she was saying?! Why would she think about that so heinously?

 Seeing her Captain, her Rex , her Best friend.

Was already mated, before she's going to act and confess all  about her feelings all riled up into tears that fall into her cheeks.

How long has it been since he was taken by this woman?

Ahsoka's face goes distant, and marches to the bar, pushing through the crowd and making her way fast from where her companions are on the table, upstairs.

Ahsoka didn't hesitate and took the glass from Jesse's hand who seemed surprised by her appearance while he was absorbed by their conversation.

Fives chuckled. "Woah! Easy with the drink Commander."

A bemused Kix scolded her that hi--Captain Rex wouldn't permit me to drink.

"Well, kriff that. I'm having the time of my life!" She replied loudly.

Torrent company exchanged a glance of confusion and surprise at the crass tone that slipped into her lips.

Ahsoka felt the alcohol burn into her lungs, and hissed that she didn't expect the alcohol could be so strong.

 Ahsoka coughed bitterly, glaring from her now empty glass; she threw it on the floor, making their shoulders stiffened, and grabbed the bottle on the center of the table, and drank it swiftly.

"Commander?" Tup spluttered.

Ahsoka ignored their protest, continuing to drink in complete utter satisfaction, but before she could finish the contents of her drink, a hand caught on her bottle.

It was Fives.

"Commander. Is there something wrong?"

Ahsoka swatted his hand on her bottle, and her eye marking pierced at him.

"I'm fine."

"Are you certain?"

Ahsoka wanted to deny the  sadness that stirred inside her, but she hastily dismissed this, and took a long gulp of  drink.

"Vod'ika, are you okay?" Jesse replied.

"Fine. I'm fine guys." She replied bitterly.

But they looked at her unconvinced about her response.

"Commander. If the Captain finds out about this we're screwed." Hardcase says in hesitation.

 "What does it have to do with him? It's  my life day , remember? Could a girl at least enjoy what little things she has?"

She could nearly feel the alcohol take over her system slowly.

The men felt a bit concerned about her situation, they never saw their commander to act like this? 

Ahsoka swipe for another drink, mulling over the thought about her---No, Captain betrayed her feelings.

"Yes, but this is different--"

Kix reaches out into her shoulder.

"Vod'ika." 

Ahsoka slumped beside Fives into the couch with her hand on her bottle, and continued to consume the contents of her alcohol deeply; she could feel their concern radiating from the force; she grunted eyes on the view of the dancing patrons below the floor ways.

"Commander, can you at least tell us what's wrong with you?"

Ahsoka impassively ignores Jesse's questioning glance, pressing the tip of her bottle between her lips and gulping it.

As it may seem the men currently neglected the another bottle of alcohol that was set on top of Echo side, she reached into it when she instantly finished her bottle, and took another one in a swift long gulped.

"Commander!" Kix scolded her.

Ahsoka swipes the liquid into her lips; she lightly laughs. " What's with all this bleak atmosphere should've we at least celebrating?"

Ahsoka didn't shy away, feeling the bitter liquid crawling into her system with ease.

" I don't like it when all of you are quite projecting."

"Projecting?"

"Your emotions." Ahsoka countered with a smile.

Fives equally shook his head just like Kix. "Commander, stop."

"Do you think I'm pretty?" Why did she say that? Must because of the alcohol that's for sure. Is this how it feels?

Fives scoffed in surprise, exchanging a glance with his brothers . "Of course you are."

Ahsoka scoffed in return, and leaned closely into his shoulder.

"Commander."

 "You think so?" 

Fives pursed his lips, exchanging a glance from his brothers.

"Y-yeah. I-i guess?"

"You guess?" Ahsoka felt herself deflated at that tone.

"It's not like that Commander, you're really really pretty." Fives tried to reciprocate.

"Then explained." She almost slurred.

He tensed.

"Uhh well,"

Ahsoka gave him a challenging brow. "You have beautiful round blue eyes."

Ahsoka wanted to believe him, but she couldn't.

----Does Rex don't think I'm attractive?

Fives nudge Tup on his stomach, as he winces, giving him an ire piercing brow.

"Why me?" They lowered their tone.

"Help me out of here Vod."

The two started to nudge one another, expecting a good compliment.

She drank silently.

" Commander?"

"..."

"Do you want some...Chips?" Hardcase slowly handed her some appetizer; Ahsoka reached into it and put it into her mouth without ever responding.

Hardcase deflates, looking back from one of his brothers to cheer her up, but none of their antics couldn't work. 

Ahsoka didn't answer, which only increased their concern.

"Vod'ika you have to stop drinking."

Ahsoka swats Kix's arm, tipping the bottle into her lips with a satisfied gulp.

"Kid."

She growled and bared her fanged teeth as she viciously exclaimed. "STOP CALLING ME A KID!" 

They all stiffened, thankfully the music was garish and few of the patrons on the corner  swept their attention to them.

Ahsoka frowned, and realization struck her when all of that frustration vanished into mid air. All eyes were drawn into a group with curiosity.

Fives, Jesse, Kix, Hardcase, Tup, look at her in fear and worry into their faces, enough for them to inch over their blaster.

Ahsoka cast her eyes on the alcohol bottle within her grasp, and slowly returned it from the top of the table, and yet the contents of the liquid hadn't finished, leaving her dazed from its effect, her eyes dropped in pearl into sadness and one of them noticed it in shock.

"Comma--

" I'm sorry." Shame rose into her chest, and rushed her way to the stairwell, refusing to look back when she could faintly hear his men tow behind her, but they couldn't pass the crowded people, blocking their way towards her, she was almost near the exit when….

Ahsoka abruptly halted and her eye marking rose upward.

"Commander?"

Rex frowned in concern, but she noticed his delicate lips were faintly smeared with her red painted lips, and where his other hand curled around the waistline of the woman that he was currently in a relationship with, looking at her in genuine curiosity.

"Are you alright?"

All of those memories with her captain flash before her eyes.

His smile, his laughter, his share of loss, his anger, and his burning determination to inspire bravery in the field of battle.

He was everything for her, even she was there to hit his lowest point that he deserved everything in the whole galaxy, so was his brothers.

But that opportunity only blew in despair, when he was already mated with a woman.

 Eyes only burst into tears, covering her lips and passed the couple with restrained sadness, but his hand caught on her elbow, and Ahsoka couldn't look at his hazel eyes.

"Commander--Ahsoka."

They already phase the formalities, but why does it only leave a sorrowful heart into her chest; Ahsoka immediately swatted it away never responding and moved into the entrance, leaving them an air of confusion.

///

"Rex. Who is that?"

Rex still maintained his eyesight on the entrance with a frown where Ahsoka just left in tears.

"That's Commander Tano."

"Oh, that's your Commander? What happened?"

Rex looked at her as all the questions in his eyes were left unanswered.

"I don't know? Gina, that's why I'm going to find out."

Gina squeezed his hand in reassurance.

///

Ahsoka slid away to her quarters, slammed shut.

Tears trailing down into her cheeks, and flopped down into her cot with a dull thud laying flat into her belly, as she burrows her head into a stiff pillow, feeling her emotions running rampant.

Ahsoka slowly moved her head on the side, thinking about his beloved captain being taken away by a beautiful stranger.

She let her legs pull into her chest, and wipe the last tears into her eyes.

It was so immature of her to think of the possibility that Rex would like her, all those fleeting feelings of admiration were all good for nothing,  she was so caught up in a moment that she wanted him to be the first person to know her feelings were more than just an infatuation, but she desire him.

Maybe she was young and stupid to think of any of this, she was beginning to like Lux from the start, but who wouldn't think that he only might as well take advantage of it because of her naïveté.

Steela Gerrera was his type all along. She's strong, determined, she got this fuzz hair---I mean, She is human and beautiful, and Ahsoka remembers all of their longing stares; their foreboding desire the way it registered their feelings would often intensified in the force.

 Realizing Lux wasn't in love with her.

And it only made her heart clenched the first moment they kissed. Ahsoka was sort of in a state of shock and she had no other choice but to lay aside her feelings, and fixate on her obligation.

What is it with all this attachment anyway? Is this how it really feels? 

Ahsoka turned her head to the side, and sighed, contemplating her beliefs.

And tomorrow she's going to fix this.

Author's Note:

Another Rexsoka fiction, but this is different where Ahsoka was hurt, because Rex already found someone whom he could love with. I didn't mean to hurt Ahsoka! If this is the fic that you want then  prepare yourself for a tear jerking experience, because this is going to be full of angst and a lot of dramatics. If this is not the fic you wanted to read go back.

Oh! This is a work of  entertainment where people yearn to write that isn't part of the Canon Universe, English is not my native language sorry, and I don't own anything.

Its going to be a sporadic update💀

Lore dump for this new War Torn AU under the cut hehe

So the main premise of this au is that the Clone Wars never ended, which is why my working title of the War Torn AU, bc the galaxy is being torn by war. 

Basically the prequels play out exactly like the movie, right up until the end of Revenge of the Sith, along with some background action during Clone Wars.Two main things change: anakin’s arc, and Five’s quest. 

During the clone wars, instead of just running, Fives calls upon his ex-commander, Lady Tano. She can’t prevent his inevitable confrontation with Fox and Rex, but she can secretly prevent the bullet from lethally hitting him, effectively faking his death. Fives tells her about the control chips, and while she chooses not to directly involve herself, she does send him to Lux Bonterri, who decided to help work on a cure for the chip, or at least a way to loosen it’s hold (don’t come at me for the Lux thing, I just think that he should have more screen time and I haven’t watched CW in like two years. Ahsoka, disturbed by this information, goes to Bo Karan earlier than in the original timeline, and convinces her to allow Ahsoka to use Mandalorian resources for humanitarian efforts. I think that because she’s still struggling with her complicated relationship with war and fighting she’s originally be opposed to the idea of rejoining the war effort,. She would try to focus more on the peacekeeping role of the Jedi, even though she doesn’t think of herself as one. 

Timeskip to around Season 7: Fives catches word of the bullshit on Scako Minor, and realizes that Echo is alive. He wants to contact Echo, but realizes that he’s not in a spot to do it without risking his ally’s efforts (btw they’ve pretty much developed the cure by now). So he contacts Ahsoka, who’s about to speak with the Jed about Maul and Manalore. He asks her to take him along, so that he has a chance of speaking with and persuading Rex. She agrees, and he also gets her to talk it through with Anakin. After their discussion, Ahsoka realizes the identity of the Sith controlling the senate.

She goes and tells Obi wan, and together they confront Anakin and convince him to not do anything rash, effectively holding back his dark side turn for now.

Meanwhile Fives confronts Rex and Echo (he didn’t join the Bad Batch), they get told the truth, and Fives shows them the chip-cure that all clones need to be exposed to. They have a huge speech in front of the 501st, who are convinced (not easily).

They have to go back to the plot, though, and Anakin is wrestling with his feelings the whole time whist saving the Chancellor. When he doesn’t kill Dooku it raises suspicion from Palpatine, but he doesn’t act on it for his master plan is almost complete. Ahsoka’s story is mostly the same, save for the speed of it. With the entirety of the 501st fighting with their whole hearts, Ahsoka, Rex, Fives, Echo, and Bo apprehend Maul, although Jesse is left in rough shape. Lux and his ‘rebel’ organization meet them on Mandalore and equip all of the 501st with th cure. They then take off and try to spread it as quickly as possible to the rest of the clone army.

Anakin, brash as ever, decides to confront Palpatine in lieu of the Jedi Masters, while Obi wan lets them know about the chips and the Sith. Palpatine plays with Anakin, but once he realizes that he’s been pushed towards the light, he becomes angry, and basically kidnaps Anakin. After that he enacts Order 66. Unfortunately for him the 501st managed to cure a good chunk of the Army thanks to Plot Holes. About of a 1/4 of all Jedi do die, though.

The Senate realizes that the war was not what they thought after the Jedi reveal most of the truth. Bail is elected to Chancellor, and Padme worries about her husband who’s currently being held by Darth Sidious. The facade of the ‘separatists’ falls away and is revealed to the Empire, looking to take over the galaxy. In response the Republic begins using civilian soldiers, the Jedi fighting to retain control over the Clone Army (for fear of generals like Pong Krell taking over) but resolving to fix the issues and darkness within their temple first.

After this I’m not sure exactly what happens, but I do know a few things

Anakin has to struggle with his darkness and the manipulation/torture Palpatine puts him through while being captured.

Ahsoka rejoins the Jedi and leads the Reformation movement, fighting to alter their code into one that better represents the core values of the Jedi

She also accepts the title of General, leading the 501st in Anakin’s absence, and becoming a renowned leader/fighter/peacekeeper

Obi wan is promoted to Grand Master and has to struggle with the influence of power and how he wasn’t able to recognize the influence of the Sith

The clones grapple with the implications of their chips and their place in a world with dwindling need for them

Padme must raise her children and fight for the rights of all Republic soldiers.

Anakin turns into a Winter Soldier-esque weapon for the Empire??

Skywalker twin bullshit

This is all subject to change and shamelessly fan service (it’s me, I’m the fan), so I’ll stop yapping now and start hyperfixating about this AU

Design sheet for my new Star Wars AU :)

I’ll rb with the details, but can we just appreciate my girl for a sec?
