Heyy boo, do you have a book that is not star wars related that you wish you could read for the first time or reread all the time?
I am searching for books recommendations and I am pretty open about every genre, maybe not horror but everything else is totally fine.
My number one book recommendation that I will always obnoxiously shove in everyone’s faces is Lord of the Rings. It is my heart and soul and favorite thing in the world and if you’ve never read the trilogy I highly recommend it. But I also have quite a few other recs!
Anything written by Andy Weir. “The Martian” is his best known work,which they made the Matt Damon movie of,and while I do love it “Project Hail Mary” is my favorite of his and one of my favorite sci-fi books of all time.
I loved “To Sleep in a Sea of Stars” which was Christopher Paolini’s sci-fi debut a couple years ago but he just came out with its prequel “Fractal Noise” and I liked it even more.
For some good old fashioned space opera brilliance I recommend the “Final Architecture” trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky. The last book of the series just came out and I DEVOURED it. Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time,Ruin,and Memory are also phenomenal, you really just can’t go wrong with him.
For more space opera and politics I highly recommend Arkady Martine,she DEBUTED with “Memory Called Empire” which won all sorts of awards. The sequel also recently came out but I haven’t gotten the chance to read it.
I’m in the middle of reading Pierce Brown’s “Red Rising” saga,which I would describe as adult Hunger Games,and have thoroughly enjoying it as well!
For fantasy I love Samantha Shannon’s “Priory of the Orange Tree” and “A Day of Fallen Night”. You’ll get varying opinions of what to read first,I read Priory when it first came out so that’s my biased opinion.
I’m a massive fan of “She Who Became the Sun” by Shelly Parker-Chan and their sequel “He Who Drowned the World” and I want it to go on record I read SWBS when it first came out and before it blew up *flips hair*
R.J. Barker’s “Tide Child” trilogy is awesome,first book of that series is “The Bone Ships.” It’s high seas fantasy with dragon bone ships and epic war and amazing world building.
I always highly recommend “Gideon the Ninth” by Tamsyn Muir and now also the rest of the books in the series. I think the usual pitch is lesbian necromancers in space.
I cannot cannot recommend “The Shadow of the Gods” by John Gwynne enough! It’s quintessential epic fantasy told as a Norse epic and it’s in my top five of modern fantasy books.
While I have serious beef with Song of Achilles just like our fellow obikin Will,I did love and devour Madeline Miller’s “Circe.” In every way I think it’s her superior work.
I can’t recommend fantasy without recommending “The Grace of Kings” by Ken Liu. His entire series will blow your socks off,but the first book won nearly every award for fantasy books that have ever existed.
I’m a huge fan of R.F Kuang’s “The Poppy War” series although I’ve heard this one is a contentious recommendation. I think this series is hate or love it but if for whatever reason you don’t vibe with this series I also highly recommend Kuang’s “Babel.”
If you want something a little less well known I could chew through drywall over Simon Jimenez’s “The Spear Cuts Through Water.” It was in my top five of 2023 release books.
I can also make a separate rec list of less new books and overall classics I always recommend or gift to people,both fiction and nonfiction!

[Get to Know Me Game]
Thanks for the tag @impossibleprincess35 and @yourfavoritefridge 🩵🩵
Last Song: Cruel Summer. I have a confession to make....I am notorious for stubbornly rejecting trendy stuff/people/books etc just because they are trendy. Eventually I come around and jump on the bandwagon, at least with some things... deserving things...like Hunger Games or Taylor Swift. I will admit, I don't like the song Anti-Hero because they blasted the thing on the radio every fucking day non stop. The first time I heard it, a few lyrics hit me the wrong way and my kid was like, this song is a like a fever dream, I had to agree...but...besides that song and Teardrops on my Guitar, her music is actually good. I've come to the dark side, I'll admit it. I still can't listen to Teardrops to on my guitar because it came out the year before I had a really nasty breakup with my ex and his name is in the song. During my break up it was on every station, I swear...ugh... Moving on... Cruel Summer is actually epic...and well, I've been kind of on a fanfiction binge lately, was reading some Obikin and just had the epiphany that the song fits some messy modern au so well…
Favorite Color: blue and green. I love bright colors though, like the ones most people hate. Like bright neon green or burnt orange or that weird ochre yellow color. I don't wear said colors, I wear a lot of grey and black, but I like those colors for decorations.
Last TV Show: CSI Las Vegas. Hubs has been binging early seasons. Shrugs. I usually half pay attention half read. It makes him happy.
Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Savory. I love stuff like chips or fries. Beef jerky, cheese, etc. I have to watch it a bit, as too much salt is not good for my kidneys or blood pressure but everything in moderation. I love spicy when it's actually done right, like the amazing Chinese restaurant in NYC that had real Sichuan chili oil, so good. Or a good vindaloo curry. Sweet stuff is not really my thing. I stopped drinking anything with sugar (non alcoholic anyway) 3 years ago and now everything with a lot of sugar tastes too sweet. Except chocolate. Chocolate is always ok.
Relationship Status: Happily married. My husband just sent me the link to one of the black series Obi-Wan figures I don't have, telling me he took care of it 💖 He enables my obsession 😆 Nah but for real, he's the best for so many reasons.
Last Google: That was a whole odyssey…the doctor's office fax number so that my insurance could fax a confirmation of insurance for my son. His card was apparently expired and I spent the whole morning playing phone tag to get it sorted.
Current Obsession: Lindt Christmas chocolate, Kenzo’s Cedre secrets perfume, my new flannel blanket, Book Lovers by Emily Henry (thanks again for the rec @yourfavoritefridge I'm halfway through and not sure what to do with my life when it's over, I'm so invested 😂), Seal Team, scarves, and of course Star Wars.
Open tag to whoever wants to participate! I'll go ahead and tag @sendpseuds @quigonsjeans @piccolaromana @elwenyere @spectral-musette

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Thank you so much @unmaskedcardinal for the tag!!
How many works do you have on Ao3?
29 total, but I haven't spent the time crossposting my old ff.net fics yet
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
198,683
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Like, actively? Cause uh, I'm the kind of person who needs to finish the fic before I can post it, and so I'm currently in the process of a whole bunch of fics that I haven't yet posted. Those are Gunsmoke (radio version), MASH, Star Wars: Legends + Star Wars: prequels, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and the DCU (but more like, specifically the all media types of Batman and Superman specifically)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Truth/Dare (revalink, college!AU, rated T)
Rainy-day Homework (ganlink, college!AU, rated G)
but when i'm alone on the longest nights, i think of you and your fairy lights (beedlink, mostly canon compliant, rated E)
Missing Memories (revalink, angst, rated T)
An Unexpected Picnic (revalink, pre-Calamity, rated G)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to! Recently I haven't been as good about keeping up with them because of my chronic illness stuff, but when I have a good day I try to get them done :) I think it's really fun to connect with people who have similar tastes as I do, and get to discuss headcanons or plot points or what have you!!
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't usually write things that end on angst, I usually aim for hurt/comfort or at least some form of hopeful ending. I've been told that Missing Memories is my angstiest fic, but I think that title is actually held by Pompeii (If You Close Your Eyes) (song fic)
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I'd say if i were to save you, would you do the same (kylux). It's the whole surviving against all odds and then looking toward the future thing, you know?
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not on Ao3, but I have on ff.net. It's been a few years since those days though!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do!! I just don't post it, for reasons related to I haven't finished the fics in question yet lol. I try to write it as a way for the characters to explore each other and connect on a different level beyond the usual grime and gore and horror of the worlds they live in.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
So. I don't have any posted yet oh no I've said this like five times by now ahh, however I have plot bunnies for a MASH/Star Wars: prequels crossover, and I just started plotting out a Gunsmoke/DCU crossover. I think the Gunsmoke/DCU one is crazier exclusively because it's a very tiny fandom for a radio/TV show from the 50's mixed with the whole Batman and Superman fandoms, which. Kind of a large set of fandoms there ngl
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I have no idea. Probably, but I haven't heard about it.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I did the 2021 Kylux Big Bang with @viraaja and the 2021 Obikin Big Bang with @skittlles !! I'd love to do more work with others at some point, genuinely wonderful experiences!
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
Is it a cop out to say I just don't have one? I never really leave a fandom, even once I'm not actively writing for it, I just kind of cycle through them, so I cycle through my ships accordingly. Maybe PruCan (Hetalia), if only because they're my oldest otp??
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Well. Ideally none of them. I have every intention of eventually finishing everything I'm currently writing, hence why I refuse to post them until they're done. That said, I've been sitting on several mostly-finished fics for like three+ years without actively working on them so. We'll see.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I've been told my characterisation is really good, and I try to get as accurate a voice as I can for every character!!!
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Repeating phrases and words without intending to. I used that exact word three times in like three paragraphs in a row, why am I like this!
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Two thoughts: if you know enough of the language to have proper grammar and etc sure go for it, but also, is it being used with or without translation? If no one else is supposed to understand (besides the reader), I think that's very fun and 10/10, but if the other characters are supposed to understand and it's a lengthy bit, I think there can be other more effective ways to get that across.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Phineas and Ferb, and honestly I regret deleting those fics so so much now! I have no records of my writing from back then, and yes I found them cringe as an older teenager but now I just wish I could go back and tell my 13 year old self how far we've come.
20. Favourite fic you've written?
Whatever is most recently finished. Right now that's but when i'm alone on the longest nights, i think of you and your fairy lights :)
No pressure tags:
@viraaja @steine-druff @aeriedwelling @someguywriting @astrophilic-soul and anyone else who wants to join!

The Will of the Force - CH 15
Fandom: Star Wars Rating: Mature Pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker, Obikin     AO3     Masterlist
Summary:  What if Obi-wan hadn’t been granted permission to train Anakin in the ways of the Force? What if Qui-Gon hadn’t perished during the battle with Darth Maul? How differently would things have turned out?
*** MY WORK IS NOT TO BE POSTED ON ANY OTHER SITE WITHOUT MY EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION. THOUGH REBLOGS AND COMMENTS ARE SUPER LOVED AND APPRECIATED! THANKS FAM!***
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 15
     Cody patched up Obi-Wan in the ship's medbay. The entire time Obi-Wan hadn't moved, hadn't said a word, he wouldn't even look up from the floor. He just sat on the bed with his head down while Cody poked and prodded at all the cuts on his hands and face, not even a wince or a whimper of pain escaped his lips. 
     The Clone had known the Jedi for a long time now, they had fought side by side many times, and because of it he knew Obi-Wan very well, he thought sometimes he even knew him better then he knew himself. And with that came knowing Obi-Wan’s many intricacies, every inch of his personality, who he was as not only a Jedi but a human being as well. Though Obi-Wan may have been a fairly private person over the time they had known each other, Cody had come to be able to read between his lines, as best friends usually could. 
     “You love him,” Cody said as he worked on cleaning a particularly deep cut on one of the Jedi's knuckles.
     Obi-Wan finally lifted his head to look Cody in the eyes. “I…” He sputtered, not entirely sure what to say.
     Cody merely huffed a laugh. “It doesn't take a genius to see it, Obi-Wan.”
     “How did you…?”
     “I have known you for many years now, my friend,” Cody said, letting Obi-Wan’s hand fall back to his knee, “and in all my years with you, I have never seen you look like this.” Obi-Wan just nodded his understanding. “Did you fall for him during the mission?”
     “I think… I think Anakin and I have always been fated to be together,” he answered, returning his gaze to the floor, “he was young when we first parted ways, many years ago, and though our bond wasn't able to grow with the distance that was forced between us, it has been able to blossom in our time together on Naboo.”
     “And now?” Cody asked, but Obi-Wan only gave him a slight shake of his head. “Hey, you know you can tell me anything, right? Jedi code or not, I don't care. You're my friend, I want what you want, and damn the rest.”
     Obi-Wan scoffed, “You sound exactly like Qui-Gon. He told me much the same before Anakin and I left the palace.”
     “Smart man,” Cody nodded, then doubled back, “so tell me, after everything that happened on Naboo with your bond being able to grow, how do you feel now?”
     “Now,” Obi-Wan sighed and closed his eyes, “I cannot see a life without him in it.”
     “You should tell Master Qui-Gon. He has always stood by you, I can't imagine he wouldn't do the same now.”
     “I intend to tell him,” Obi-Wan confirmed, “I had hoped when I received his message it was to tell me that Anakin was safe and we could go home. And once I had taken Anakin back to the palace on Naboo, I was going to tell Qui-Gon that I was leaving the Order to stay with Anakin.”
     “You love him that much.”
     “I do,” Obi-Wan was nearly in tears, worried that he was never going to get to have that future with Anakin now, “I have to have him back.”
     “And you will.” Both Obi-Wan and Cody looked to the door where Qui-Gon was standing. He nodded to both of them as he walked over, then turned to the Clone beside him. “Cody, if I may have a moment alone with my Padawan?”
     “Of course, Sir.” Cody saluted them both and left, then Obi-Wan turned to Qui-Gon.
     “How much did you hear?” 
     “Enough,” Qui-Gon answered, and then sat on the bed beside Obi-Wan, “but even if I hadn't heard any of it, I already knew what your fate held upon your return from the Villa.”
     “You… how?”
     “My dear Padawan,” Qui-Gon nudged his shoulder with his own, gracing him with a small smile, “as you told Cody, you and Anakin were always fated to be together, and I can feel within the Force that this is true. You belong with Anakin, and he with you. I support any decision you make in the matter, Obi-Wan, including your leaving the Order to be with him.”
     “That is if…” He sighed hard, trying to stave off the panic attack he could feel creeping up on him. “If we-”
     “When, Obi-Wan, because we will get him back,” he placed a hand on Obi-Wan’s shoulder, “the Sith have not won this battle yet.”
     “I just…” Obi-Wan stood and started pacing the floor in front of Qui-Gon, both of his palms dug deep into his eyes. “He should never have been taken by Maul, I should have been able to protect him, and I… I failed him!” 
     Obi-Wan turned and punched a fist hard into the metal wall of the ship. He didn't care about the pain it caused his already bruised and cut hands, or that it reopened his wounds and he could already see the blood soaking through the bandages. He deserved it, he'd let Anakin down, he was the reason he was lost. 
     “This is not your fault, Obi-Wan, you cannot blame yourself.”
     “Oh, yes I can,” he turned and nodded, crossing his arms over his chest so Qui-Gon couldn't see the blood on his knuckles, “I let myself think that we were safe there, that nothing was going to happen. I completely dropped all of my shields and let the Sith walk right in the front door and take Anakin. I should have sensed him coming.”
     “None of us sensed them,” Qui-Gon shook his head, “the Sith infiltrated the Senate, were seated amongst us for years without a single member of the Order sensing so much as a blip within the Force. You couldn't have known, even Master Yoda was fooled.”
     “The Senate?” Obi-Wan stopped his pacing and turned to Qui-Gon. He had been so focused on everything that happened on Naboo that he hadn't even stopped to wonder how it had all come to pass. “What happened with the Senate?”
     “When I told you of my suspicions that the Sith were somehow involved, I never envisioned that it would have gone as far as it had,” he started, “Padmé and I worked with the Council to try and lure out the mole we suspected was planted within the Senate and working with the Sith, and once we had, we had planned to hand them over to the Council for their fate to be decided. But as it turned out the mole we were searching for was actually a Sith Lord, and that Sith Lord turned out to be the Chancellor himself.”
     “Palpatine?!” Obi-Wan exclaimed with wide eyes. “He is a Sith Lord? But he's been a close advisor to the Queen for years! She trusted him, Anakin trusted him!”
     “We all did, and he deceived us all.”
     “Why didn't he just take Anakin any of the times he was alone with him on Naboo? Why go through all of this and send bounty hunters after him, why infiltrate the Senate?” He started up his pacing again and shook his head.
     “Clear your mind and think, Obi-Wan,” Qui-Gon said as he stood and crossed his arms over his chest. Obi-Wan was ever jealous of his ability to remain as calm as he always did, even in the most dire of situations. “He is a Sith Lord, Maul is his Apprentice. Whatever they are planning surely has many intricate webs weaved farther into the Senate and the Order then we will ever be able to understand. To take Anakin so openly would have been foolish, it would have outed them much sooner than Padmé and I managed to do. It was too risky a move, that is why he hired the bounty hunters to secure Anakin for him, only they failed so he had Maul do it in their place. Surely they would have liked their identities to have remained secret, but we disrupted that, and now Palpatine’s influence over the Senate and the Order is no more.”
     “You're right. Of course you're right, it would have made no sense to out himself so easily. And he may have possibly been trying to win Anakin over all those years. If he'd planned to use Anakin all along then getting him to comply willingly would have been an easier path, but thank the Force he took after Padmé.” He ran a hand down his tired face and stopped to rub at his beard in thought. “But how did they even find us? Did you inform the Chancellor of our plans to hide Anakin before you discovered his identity as a Sith Lord?”
     Qui-Gon shook his head, sorrow flashing in his eyes, “Palpatine needs Anakin for whatever it is he is planning, and he knew that there would only be a limited number of people who knew where the Prince would be hiding. He also knew there was no way he would be able to get to myself or Padmé easily.”
     “... Gregar.” Obi-Wan sighed and dropped himself hard into the chair behind him, facing Qui-Gon on the bed. He had just realized that Gregar was not on the ship, and when it came to Anakin's safety and rescue, he would have been the first one on the ship and ready to take down the Sith. But since he wasn't here it could only mean one thing.
     “Palpatine lured him into a trap,” Qui-Gon explained, “Maul tortured him and used the Force to extract your location from his weakened mind. Gregar died trying to keep your secret, trying to keep both you and Anakin safe.”
     “Anakin will be devastated,” Obi-Wan said and leaned forward, resting his face in his hands, “he was close with Gregar. He was a good man, he didn't deserve this.”
     “No, he didn't,” Qui-Gon agreed, then reached out to place a hand on his knee, “so let us ensure that his sacrifice was not in vain.”
     Obi-Wan lifted his head from his hands with a new found determination, his chest heaving with the rage he could feel building within him. “Maul will pay for what he did to Gregar, and I will personally make sure they both pay for taking my Anakin away from me.”
     The doors to the room opened and Cody rushed in, both of them turning to him. “We may have a lead!”
~~~~~~~~~~~
     Maul landed his ship on the dark barren plains of the planet Sidious had given him the coordinates to. He stepped out, his cloak billowing behind him as a snapping wind barrelled through the open space he walked, between his ship and the magnificent Citadel before him. As he walked he looked over the top of the Citadel to the swirling cyclone planted there. Lightning crashed down around them from the centre of the storm, lighting up the walkway in a furious flash of blue along with the figure who stood waiting for him.
     “My Lord,” he bowed deep, then stood again, “what is this planet?”
     “Welcome to the home of the Sith, my Apprentice,” Sidious raised his arms, the thunder and lightning crashing around them in seemingly perfect synchronicity with the Dark Lord, “this is where we will enact our plan, this is where we will bring the dark side to the height of its power and swallow what light there is left in the Galaxy.”
     Maul closed his eyes and breathed in deeply, exhaling long and slow. “The darkness is strong here, I can feel it.”
     “Yes, my Apprentice,” he then eyed Anakin behind Maul, still unconscious and still being dragged toward them by the Droids, and his mouth turned up into a sickening grin, “and with the added power of Skywalker’s strong connection to the Force, we will surely be unstoppable.”
     Maul matched his grin, his hideous yellow teeth reflecting the blue glow of each thrash of lightning.
     “Take him inside the Citadel,” he turned and started walking with Maul and Anakin on his heels, “once he wakes up, willing or not, he will be the downfall of the Republic and the beginning of the rise of the Empire.
~~~~~~~~~~~ 
     Anakin woke with a raging headache. He felt sluggish and tired, like he was in a haze. As he slowly came to and opened his eyes, fighting hard against his heavy eyelids, he felt his heart rate instantly skyrocket. He didn't recognize where he was, and he was being held up in the air with his arms and legs stretched out, the energy bonds holding him tightly in place despite the beginnings of his struggling. But the thing that terrified him the most was that Obi-Wan was nowhere to be found, and he couldn't feel him through the bond anymore. 
     He could feel the dried blood on his cheek crack when he grunted, trying to break the bonds pinching his wrists and ankles with no success, and he could see that his right eye was swollen and probably black. He looked around him in search of Obi-Wan, desperate to at the very least feel him through the bond, but he couldn't find him, couldn't hear him, couldn't sense him at all, and it terrified him that something horrible had happened. 
     The last thing he remembered was being attacked in their room back at the Villa. He had been dressing so he could join Obi-Wan while they listened to Master Qui-Gon’s message together, but before he even made it there he was faced with the terrifying sight of a man. He had red and black skin, glowing yellow eyes, and he was sure there were horns, like a crown atop his head. He had to have been a Sith Lord. Anakin didn't know much about the Force yet, but with what little he did understand thanks to Obi-Wan’s teachings, he knew the feeling that surrounded him when he was met with the man could have only meant one thing. That man was connected to the dark side, and he must be the reason why he was here in this place right now instead of back at the Villa with Obi-Wan where he belonged.
     “You're awake.” Doors opened to Anakin's left and two figures walked toward him. The first was completely covered by his cloak and oversized hood, but the second he recognized instantly, how could he not remember those red and black markings, they would surely haunt him for years to come. If he made it out of this, that is. 
     “Where am I?” He growled, trying his best to not sound as terrified as he actually was.
     “You are on the Sith home world, in our Citadel,” the cloaked one said, and his voice seemed almost… familiar to Anakin, but that couldn't be. How could he have come across a Sith Lord in his past and not have known? “Can’t you feel the darkness? Embrace it, embrace the power that thrives here.”
     “No,” he forced out. And though he didn't want to admit it, he could feel the darkness here, he’d felt it the second he woke up, creeping around him and trying to burrow beneath his skin, wanting to claim him. But he would have no part in it. Obi-Wan had warned him of the dark side of the Force during their training, and had told him of the dangers and the deviousness of it. He would be disappointed in him if he let the dark side in, and he never wanted to disappoint him. Obi-Wan was pure radiance, his lighthouse in the darkness, and Anakin would never stray, not while he had Obi-Wan to always guide him back to shore. “I will never let the dark side in.”
     “You will, willingly or otherwise, it will claim you.”
     That voice, though distorted and slightly muffled under the large hood, he was still sure he'd heard it before. “You can try all you want, but you won't win, I will never stop fighting the dark side.”
     “As resilient as ever you remain, I see.”
     Anakin tilted his head at that remark. “Do you… who are you? Why don't you stop hiding behind that hood and face me like a real man! Or are you too much of a coward to show your face?”
     “My boy, I must say I am a bit disappointed you didn't recognize my voice. But I shall grant your wish just this once.”
     As soon as the Sith Lord removed his hood and Anakin finally laid eyes on the familiar face, he felt the anger rise within him instantly and he struggled against the bonds once again. “You!” He shouted, his face contorted with rage. “How could you be a Sith Lord!? You've been a trusted ally to us for years! Padmé trusted you, I trusted you! You were like family to us, how could you do this?!”
     “The moment Padmé brought you into the palace I instantly felt the strength of the Force within you and I knew, even if you weren't trained by the Jedi, that you were exactly what I needed to take them down,” he sneered, enraging Anakin even more.
     “So you lied! Everything you did for us, all the time we spent together, getting Padmé to help you rise up to become the Chancellor of the Senate, it was all just a dirty trick to get close to me!”
     “Exactly right, my dear boy. But then that… Jedi!” He spat, his face darkening as he stalked closer to Anakin. “If my bounty hunters hadn't failed me on Nesperrow, if they had done their research and knew you weren't on that ship and attacked it for no reason, then that Jedi would have never barged in and taken you away! But it matters not now, it took a little longer than planed, but now I finally have you and I can begin my take down of the entire Jedi Order.”
     “I won't help you!” Anakin screamed, “I will not help you destroy the Jedi!”
     “My boy, I don't need you to comply, i will force you to surrender to the dark side eventually,” he said, and was now just a few inches away from where Anakin was being held up by the energy bonds, “I only needed you to be here, I can do the rest myself.”
     “I'm stronger than you think, I'm not the little boy you remember from your time spent with us on Naboo, I will resist you.”
     Palpatine shrugged, seemingly not worried about Anakin's resistance at all. “You can try, my boy, but the dark side is much stronger than you think you are. Here, have a taste!”
     Strands of lightning shot out from Palpatine's hands and hit Anakin hard in the chest, shooting throughout his entire body. He tossed his head back, a grunted groan of pain escaping him, mixed with the sick cackle coming from Palpatine. He was enjoying this, enjoying watching Anakin suffer, and enjoying being the one to torture him. 
     When he let Anakin go his body lulled forward, the energy bonds digging deeper into the skin around his wrists and ankles, his breath coming out in heaved gasps. “You'll pay for this. When Obi-Wan gets his hands on you-”
     “Obi-Wan?!” He cut him off with another menacing laugh. “You think I'm worried about that second rate Jedi?”
     “You should be,” he panted, “when he sees what you've done to me, he'll destroy you and stop whatever plan you have to take down the Jedi.”
     Palpatine leaned in close, tilting his head up to leer at Anakin. “Why would I worry about a dead man?”
     Anakin's heart sank to his feet. It couldn't be, Obi-Wan couldn't be… “No…” He whispered, tears instantly welling in his eyes, “No, he's not…”
     “He is, dear boy, his body rots in the shattered remains of your perfect little hideaway.” Anakin could only shake his head, he didn't want to believe this, he didn't want to accept that Obi-Wan was dead, that the man he loved was gone. But he still couldn't feel him in the bond, and now the tears were flowing freely down his cheeks. “But not to worry, you will soon be seeing him again. Once I'm finished with you, I will personally reunite you with your beloved Jedi.”
     The two Sith Lords turned and walked back the way they came, leaving Anakin to wallow in the devastation of his loss. Once they were gone and the echoes of their steps had ebbed, the only thing that could be heard in the room was the devastating cries of Anakin's pain.
~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N:  Merry Christmas Eve my friends, have another update! I probably wont update again until sometime after the 27th since that's when my family is having our Christmas, so I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, I hope Santa is very good to you, and I will see you all soon! <3

Oh, friends, there is so much good Obikin fic about our two favorite idiots in the STAR WARS fandom out there and I have a huge back archive of recs to show for it, but sometimes it’s hard to know where to start when you’re new or haven’t read anything in awhile, so I wanted to put together a list of Starter Recs that I think are great places for a beginner who’s just dipping their toe into the waters! There are many, many fics that are often times some of my favorites that will not be on this list, because these are the ones that I think are specifically useful to those who are just kind of figuring out what they like or aren’t really sure they 100% ship it and just kind of want to test things out. And also because if you made me list my actual favorites, it’d be literally thirty times as long as this, and that might be just a bit overwhelming. So, here, have my suggestions for where to start! Joinnnnn usssssssss. OBIKIN RECS - CANON-COMPLIANT UP TO BEFORE EVERYTHING GOES TO SHIT: ✦ Equinox by lilyconrad, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, sith!obi-wan (sort of), d/s, 95.9k    During the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan and Anakin crash on a remote planet and take shelter in the ruins of a grand estate only to find they are not alone. ✦ Upfall by bell (belldreams), obi-wan/anakin & some obi-wan/satine & ahsoka & cast, NSFW, 166.8k    Anakin is doing just about everything he can to hold himself together; it won’t last. ✦ the sound of your voice (helps me find peace) by izazov, obi-wan/anakin, 34.7k    Five times Anakin had to ask for a story. And one time Obi-Wan offered it freely. ✦ Lex Talionis by intermundia, obi-wan/anakin & ahsoka & cast, NSFW, sith!obi-wan, sith!anakin, 187k    How Obi-Wan and Anakin fell to the dark side, obtained their revenge, and saved the galaxy in the process. ✦ starbird by imaginarykat, obi-wan/anakin & cast, 8.8k    Anakin thinks he knows everything about Obi-Wan but doesn’t. Anakin thinks a lot of things, actually, and he’s wrong about most of them. Anakin’s whole world view is turned upside down. Obi-Wan is having the time of his life. ✦ small gestures and grand vows by loosingletters, obi-wan/anakin & cast, 6k    Five times Obi-Wan and Anakin show how devoted they are to each other, and one time somebody demands proof and they are insulted. ✦ Across the Stars by unfortunate17, obi-wan/anakin & cast, NSFW, time travel, 14k    A story of how Obi-Wan and Anakin have thousands of firsts between them, fates intertwined by the will of the force across space and time. Or, Obi-Wan is the Time Traveler’s Wife. ✦ love is a battlefield (not a one-night stand) by izazov, obi-wan/anakin, 15.5k    For all his skills as a negotiator, Obi-Wan does a poor job of handling the aftermath of spending the night with his former Padawan. (He gets better at it. Eventually.) ✦ what heaven did you leap from, dear love? by loosingletters, obikinn, obi-wan/anakin, 3.2k    Surely Obi-Wan hadn’t meant to call him that. It was just a slip of the tongue, he told himself. But that didn’t stop his heart from racing and his palms from getting sweaty. ✦ Abyssus Abyssum Invocat by Burning_Nightingale, obi-wan/anakin, 10.3k    While searching for Separatists on the very edge of the Unknown Regions, Obi-Wan and Anakin discover three things. A Chiss pilot in desperate need of their help; a Jedi Temple more ancient than the Republic itself; and a dire warning. ✦ Into the Archives by skygawker, obi-wan & anakin (& some anakin/padme) & palpatine & cast, 104.9k wip    After hearing the legend of Darth Plagueis the Wise from Palpatine, Anakin decides that his best chance to save Padme is to break into the restricted Holocron Vault of the Temple Archives to search for information about Plagueis. Predictably, all does not go according to plan.

Obi-Wan blinks once, twice. And freezes. The first time Anakin tells him is a mortifying experience. ✦ hey there by retts, obi-wan/anakin, 4.6k    ‘Sick,’ says Anakin, stood in the doorway of Obi-Wan’s room aboard their ship. 'You’re sick.’ 'No need to sound so delighted over it,’ grouses Obi-Wan, bringing his fist up to his mouth to cough feebly into it. Damn. 'I’m not, Master.’ ✦ O Trespass Sweetly Urged by Artemis_Unbound, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 8.6k    Anakin and Obi-Wan witness a sex ritual while on a mission. Obi-Wan doesn’t understand why Anakin is so scandalized by this, until Anakin admits that he’s never had sex.

doMAYstic: day 5
Prompt: The pet from next door Fandom: Star Wars Relationship: Obikin (gen/sfw) Words: 870 A/N: modern setting, written with my Obi-Wan & Anakin from Smoke Me and Never Quit Me in mind, but it's not necessary to have read that first; goes along with Days 1-4
Obi-Wan was rinsing the last pot when he looked up and out the window just to enjoy the view of their new backyard. But instead of the usual sight of just the porch railing and the green woods beyond, he found himself in a stare down with a scrawny grey and white cat. It sat perched precariously on the railing, and for a few moments Obi-Wan wondered if the cat was even real as it didn’t move at all.
Without breaking eye contact, Obi-Wan turned off the water and set the pot down in the sink. 
Anakin had mentioned recently wanting to get some kind of pet, but they had only been living in their new home for two months and that seemed rather soon. They were still getting adjusted to the home, finishing up the unpacking, as well as getting used to each other's quirks. adding a pet to the mix seemed like… well, it seemed like extra unneeded stress. But Anakin had given him those doe eyes that he knew worked well on Obi-Wan, much to his dismay, and he had been dangerously close to relenting. 
If Anakin saw this one and decided it was fate (or that it didn’t belong to anyone), then he’d probably be more than happy to lure it in with cat food and some love. 
Obi-Wan looked away to grab the towel to dry his hands, but when he looked back up, the cat was gone – like it had never even been there in the first place. 
He shrugged. If it was ‘fate,’ then perhaps the cat would return. 
#
A week went by before Obi-Wan saw the cat again, but this time it was stalking across their front yard. He didn’t know what it was after, but Obi-Wan was transfixed watching the way the cat hunkered down low in the grass as if trying to hide. Then it took off, pouncing across the yard after some unseen poor prey. 
Obi-Wan just hoped that whatever the cat was after got away.
#
Several more weeks went by and Obi-Wan saw the cat more frequently hanging out around their house. But somehow Anakin never saw it, which made Obi-Wan begin to wonder if perhaps he was imagining his feline friend. He was tempted to tell Anakin so he could watch out for it, but he figured as soon as Anakin knew, he would find a way to make the cat theirs. 
#
“OBI-WAN!” Obi-Wan was sitting at his desk upstairs working on a lesson plan when he heard Anakin’s excited voice downstairs then the sound of him bounding up the steps. He turned quickly when Anakin burst into his office.  “Obi-Wan! Cat! There’s a cat outside!” 
Obi-Wan chuckled, “Yes, Anakin…”
“Wait, you knew?” 
“Yes, Anakin.”
“And you didn’t say anything??”
“Well…”
“Obi-Wan! You knew I wanted a cat! Or a dog… well, some kind of pet… a cat–”
“Anakin…”
He shook his head, “So can we keep it?”
Obi-Wan laughed, “Anakin, it probably belongs to someone. We can’t just go around picking up the neighbor's animals and making them our own.”
Anakin grinned and Obi-Wan knew he was plotting something. “We’ll see.”
#
It turned out Anakin’s plan was exactly what Obi-Wan thought it would be – luring the cat into their home with food then smothering it with love and affection. It started innocently enough by leaving dry food outside, then watching and waiting. He could never catch the cat actually eating, but the food would be gone like clockwork, so clearly he was coming around. 
"Anakin, you don't know that cat doesn't belong to a neighbor!" Obi-Wan had once said in a last-ditch effort for him to stop the madness. But Anakin was convinced it didn't belong to anyone. 
"He's too scrawny! Artoo is a feral cat, Obi-Wan," he replied, as if it being feral made it any better. 
"Fer–" Obi-Wan started, then scoffed. "Artoo? You've named it??"
"Well, obviously, I can't just go around calling it 'cat' all the time, can I?" Anakin shook his head. "Honestly…"
"Right, of course, what was I thinking?"
Obi-Wan wanted to be logical about the whole thing. But all he could see was how taken Anakin was with getting that cat. He could feel himself slowly caving because it was so easy to give in to Anakin's earnestness and the way he went after something he wanted. 
(Like Obi-Wan himself, he remembered with a smile.)
But before he finally completely caved, he wanted to be sure they covered their bases, so he made Anakin put up a few ‘lost cat’ posters in the neighborhood for a while in addition to knocking on the couple of houses immediately surrounding their property. The cat didn't belong to any of them, nor had they seen it around. It was rather mysterious that the cat hadn’t bothered anyone else, and he would have thought he hallucinated the whole thing if Anakin hadn’t also seen him, too. 
So he finally gave in to Anakin's whims. 
As did the cat. 
Anakin won him over finally with wet food and treats and a warm space on the couch and eventually Artoo had no desire to go outside ever again. Then made himself quite at home in Obi-Wan’s lap.

MCM, tessiete

<<This post is a part of a longer conversation about fanfic writers, how they view fanfic, and their writing process. All views are the fanfic writers’ own, and whatever fanfic they choose to write is entirely their own decision. No judgement value will be placed on fic content. These conversations are meant to provide insight for other fanfic writers in whatever stage they are at in their writing life>>
Meet-Cute Monday (with tessiete, @tessiete​ )
AO3 Stats:
Pseuds: tessiete Pronouns: she/her they/them Current fandoms: Star Wars Current pairings: Obitine (Obi-Wan/Satine Kryze), Obikin, and Gen How many total fic: 36 How many fandoms: 8 Total word count: 527,132 Long fic word count: 201, 304 Shortest fic: 1007 Highest kudo count: 662 Lowest: 18
What’s the story behind your writing pseud? I just combined two of my favourite acting roles because I was 15, and needed to tell AO3 something in order to register. Juliet (Capulet) + Tess (D'Urbervilles)
How long have you been reading and writing fanfic? Reading since I was probably 9 or 10? I had a dedicated internet line as a child, and my mum writes SW fanfic, and has been active in the fandom for as long as I've been alive. Writing since probably 2004. But definitely not consistently. I had a HUGE break where I wrote nothing between 2004 and 2014, and then another smaller one between 2016 and 2020. No real reason. I just never felt like a writer, and definitely never felt like a writer with anything to say.
Okay, wait. That’s fascinating. Your mom writes Star Wars fanfic, too! I did not know that. Do you interact with her in the fandom or does she have her half of fandom and you have yours? She has her half and I have mine. We've never really run into each other. She's an older fan than even the "old fans" on here-- her fic was like, published in zines and stuff-- and she's very much a role player. They've got a hugely elaborate plot - it's been going for literally 25 years at this point - so there's no way she'd ever be invested in the tumblr fandom. There's at least one whole other world of SW fandom that does not cross with tumblr fandom AT ALL. But she reads all my fic, and we talk about character and stuff almost every day. She's a Luke girl.
Oh nice! That is an incredible resource to have, then! Definitely!
Okay, so. Baby Tess, when she started to write fic did she have any hopes or goals for her writing? And how have those changed over time? NOPE. Baby Tess was always told to be a writer. Tess never wanted to be a writer, and still does not want to be a writer. But my dad says follow your talent, not your passion, and writing is the one artistic thing that I can control, and requires no outside help to support or promote it
Oh that's one I’ve never heard before: follow your talent not your passion. Yeah, I resent it a lot! But I don't think he's wrong! For a long, long time I essentially wrote just for me. My early fandoms were usually pretty dead ones, and the ones that weren't tended to be uninterested in what I liked to write about. I love maturity, and the tiny little complexities of relationships. I love Good. I love Good people. I love thinking about the morality of a situation, and the philosophies of civility, I guess?
Basically, my earliest stories had no conflict because it was often adult characters being very straightforward with each other, and clearing up any misunderstandings that existed in canon. And then later, it was often just intense character studies of people with no real plot or purpose. So I never got much interaction from the fandom at all.
I guess the change is that I used to write for me, and now I feel like I write for other people? I'm not sure that's a healthier outlook, but it's definitely one that produces more content! I don't think any of my stories appeal but I like to write things that defy expectation. I enjoy malicious compliance. I enjoy crack taken seriously. And I fell into Obitine out of spite for all the hate that Satine gets as a female in space.
So the stuff you wrote before was more likely to be gen as opposed to now? Oh, YES! I exclusively wrote gen. I mean, there were often romantic undertones, but nothing more than a kiss. Even now I'm much more fascinated by platonic relationships, and I love gen stories best. It's only in the past year I've tried my hand at smut, and for me, the appeal is less...Idk....horny? And more because I try to use smut as a way of replacing dialogue. Which I know is not unique to me - I love your fic, and treescape’s fic for example because you do that also! I didn't understand for a long time how smut could work
Oooooh! I wanna hear your theories on How Smut Works. I thought smut was exclusively voyeuristic for a loooooong time. I felt that in fandoms where the canon had no explicit sex that it was sort of weird and...not inappropriate but unnecessary to bring it into it? Initially a lot of the arguments I read in support of smut were to make adults seem "adult" which bothered me a lot because I firmly don't believe that sex is a sign of one's maturity.
Later, once I realised I was acespec, it made a lot more sense in that sex as a pure concept did not make sense to me. But then, I read trees’ work, and I branched out, and I realised that sex is kind of like a different landscape. And I found that for a lot of characters - characters I particularly liked - sex can articulate the things they can't actually give voice to. Like, Obi-Wan can say a lot more in how he bangs someone than he, as himself, can speak. Smut exposes vulnerabilities and truths in people.
I was talking to a friend the other day who is trying to write smut for the first time, and she was worried she'd expose her own kinks, and honestly, who hasn't worried about that? But what I've found is that that isn't the case. If you're true to the story, then you expose character.
Ugh. Fuck yeah. Love that.

doMAYstic 9
Prompt: misplaced/displaced object Fandom: Star Wars. Characters: Anakin & Obi-Wan. Words: 846. Rating: G. SFW. A/N: Just a bit of an alternate timeline for the prequel movies, past-Anidala with maybe a hint of pre-Obikin because I'm incorrigible. Possibly a prequel to I Wish You.
There was a knot of angst in Anakin's stomach as he finally gave in and tore the mattress off his bed. He'd been methodical, he'd moved his few possessions across the room in an orderly fashion, and he still hadn't found it. He had technically already looked under the bed, but he was beyond his wits end. He threw it across the room and then tore everything off his shelves, creating chaos where there had been tenuous order.
He heard the door chime and knew that he would be forced to confront the mess sooner than he was ready too. For another moment he sat amongst the mess of broken things and felt despair crowding his anger.
"Anakin!" Rarely did Obi-Wan lead with exasperation, but his confusion was palpable this time. "What is this?"
"Oh, just a bit of re-decorating, Master." Anakin's voice shook despite his attempt at flippancy.
Obi-Wan was silent, and when Anakin turned to look, his mouth was a harsh frown.
"What's going on?"
"I can't find something." Anakin bit the words out. "I've been looking for a few days, then took the free time I had today to look more thoroughly. But I can't find it!"
He knew that lashing out at Obi-Wan wasn't fair but having no target made it harder to hold the leash.
"Perhaps if you told me—"
"No! You can't help! I'm not even supposed to… It doesn't matter what I've lost, just that I've lost it. Just." He clenched his jaw and fists, trying and failing to find peace, but was already too far gone. "Accept that you can't always help me."
"Anakin!" Obi-Wan snapped, "get ahold of yourself."
His mood curdled, disappointment in Anakin ringing out loudly, but without the urgency of a mission to force an answer, his master withdrew instead.
"I don't deserve that," Obi-Wan said coolly. "Come find me when you can behave."
It took Anakin a long while to slip into the calm of meditation, first approaching it the way he would have when he was feeling upset before trying to find the peace of battle. That was easier. Obi-Wan wasn't a combatant but it had felt like an attack, and the simpler reflexes of his body recognized it as such.
When he came into the common room, Obi-Wan was staring into space, a half-drunk cup of Gatatean brew in front of him. He'd made Anakin one as well, and it was warm enough to soothe, cool enough to drink.
"Thank you, Master."
"You're welcome, Padawan." He took a deep breath as he turned to examine Anakin. "Now, will you tell me what is going on?" "Do you remember shortly after we came back from Naboo, and I was in a sour mood?"
Obi-Wan briefly scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. "Yes," he said.
"I did something I shouldn't have…"
He trailed off, wishing for once that Obi-Wan was less patient.
"I confessed to Senator Amidala that my feelings for her… Well, I'd probably fallen in love with her as a boy, and when I was with her again… You already know, Master, I told you that I thought of her often in those ten years of separation. When I told her, however—" His throat clenched, unable to get the words out he lifted his cup and drank.
"I remember," Obi-Wan said, placid and calm.
"I demanded she give back this gift I gave her as children, and we saw one another recently, and she did. This was right before she went to Cato Neimoidia." He held fast, clasping the mug tightly enough for his knuckles to turn white. "I had made her a good luck charm and I childishly asked for it back and now I can't find it."
"Anakin—"
"I just have this foolish hope," Anakin said, hearing the waver in his voice, praying to any gods that would listen he wouldn't cry, "that if I can find it and give it to her… Everything will turn out okay."
Obi-Wan reached across the table, pulling Anakin's vice grip from the cup, taking his hands in his own.
"It isn't your fault," Obi-Wan said. "Not your mother's death, nor the…" He nearly said 'misfortune' again, Anakin knew he was thinking better of it. "The accident with the senator is not your fault. The Force may not always be clear in it's will, but you did not change her destiny with your perhaps 'childish' demand."
Obi-Wan let go with one hand, leaving the cool metal of his prosthetic hand for Anakin to cling to, and checked his wristlet. "We have plenty of time before I need to be with the council," Obi-Wan said. "Let me help you, and we'll go visit the Senator together."
Anakin nodded, feeling himself crumple under the weight of kindness, and Obi-Wan scooted around the table to embrace him.
"It isn't your fault, my dear Padawan." He let Anakin cling to his metal hand and stroked the nape of his neck with soft fingers. "It isn't your fault."
Anakin let himself weep, feeling safe if only for a moment.

listen to this AU: obi-wan sleeps with a random guy in the outer rim, realises the day after that he lacked a force signature (aka he hid it), gets suspicious but doesn't meet the guy until like three years later. they sleep with each othr again, they get the other's name (surprise it's anakin), obi-wan thinks he's a pilot, anakin just thinks obi-wan is a regular jedi, not the famous one from the holonet BECAUSE HE'S THAT STUPID. fast forward, they've met several times, slept with eachother 1/2
BUT also bonded, they kinda like each other now, obi.wan looks forward to meeting the handsome arrogant pilot with suspicious jobs, anakin likes the handsome jedi even though he knows he probably shouldn't BECASUE HE HAS A SECRET, also they've avoided the whole force signature thing. one day they meet again. on dooku's ship. anakin has a lightsaber A RED ONE, and obi-wan's like YOU'RE A SITH?? and anakin is like YOU'RE THAT OBI-WAN KENOBI? 2/?
so it turns out, anakin is a sith apprentice because he and dooku/palpatine made a deal, his apprenticeship for his mother's freedom, so he's been secretly training under dooku but never really fought in the war, only doing weird solo missions so obi-wan has never heard of him but without slept and maybeee just fallen in love with a SITH and anakin is super scared of dooku/palpatine, so he's torn between trying to kill obi and getting punished harshly if he doesn't ?/?
but yeah there's this big drama about palpatine being a sith lord, obi-wan being in love with anakin, anakin wanting to help his unofficial boyfriend but also scred of what his master will do to him or his mother, and hopefully this AU has a happy ending with palpatine dying and shmi surviving but i'm not sure. and yeah i was supposed to be anonymous when writing this but forgot so now you know my guilty pleasure aka obikin and star wars
(it’s alright, I don’t have to post your username if you don’t want other people to know 😘) 
my god, this is SO GOOD. I adore the idea of them casually having sex before catching feelings and realising who they are, what a perfect trope.
The post was getting a bit long, so have some more ideas under the cut! 
In an always-a-sith!Anakin AU, I like to think that Obi-Wan doesn’t get a padawan for a while (and probably think that because he barely made it as a padawan himself, he’s not the right person to teach future Jedi,) so it gives him plenty of time to take missions that let him gallivant around the galaxy and be his flirting and daring self without restriction for ten glorious years. So a one night stand with the gorgeous pilot (probably a spice runner, but hey, Obi-Wan isn’t here to judge,) with the arrogance of someone who’s never been praised and loved enough in his life? It’s precisely what Obi-Wan does best. 
At first, Anakin probably thought that it would be fun to sleep with a Jedi, you know, for the irony, but Obi-Wan is strangely pleasant, charming and witty. Not at all cold, moralistic and straight-laced, like other darksiders described the Jedi Order, and he hides behind his charming demeanours and smooth voice a surprisingly daredevil side, which is... very hot, if you ask Anakin.
And the sex is great, so when they meet once again a few months later, it becomes an unspoken agreement that if they’re on the same planet/close to each other, they could... catch up more regularly. It works well, so well that when Anakin sends him a message to tell him that yes, he’s on Coruscant for one rotation, but don’t expect anything from me Obi-Wan, I’m sick, cold, feverish, miserable and absolutely not in the mood, Obi-Wan shows up with medicine and his favourite pastries, before spending the night checking his temperature and fussing over his eating habits. No one has ever taken care of him like that since his mom.
The same night, the news report another great victory for the Republic thanks to the famous Negotiator, and Anakin snorts, says that it’s a very dumb nickname, and what’s his name again? Ben or something? but each time the reporter says his full name Anakin sneezes and each time there is footage of Obi-Wan on screen Anakin goes to the fresher, and Obi-Wan probably thinks he’s the stupidest person in the galaxy and he loves him so much.
Obi-Wan knows he should question Anakin about why he’s always showing up not too far from shady businesses and galaxy-wide conflicts, but Anakin can be very distracting, and his job is not something Obi-Wan wants to know too much about. After all, not talking about the contraband and the flagrant illegality of it all makes it easier to turn a blind eye to it. 
And as you say, the day comes when they finally meet as Jedi and Sith in a real battle, and after a few minutes of “you’re a Sith?” “You’re the famous Jedi who leads half of the Republic’s fleet and you never told me?? I thought you were spending more time teaching at the Temple or gathering old and boring archive files!” “Excuse me, YOU’RE A SITH.” I like to imagine a long fight scene à la Mr and Mrs Smith, with a lot of dirty moves and a lot of “so that time you said you couldn’t see me because you were busy with a large delivery on a sector suspiciously close to Separatist space...?” “yeah, I was picking up one of Grievous’ platoon.” “...I can’t believe I introduced you to my padawan!”
They’re both angry and betrayed, and it ends up with both of them tired, panting, sabers right next to each other’s neck, waiting. After a few seconds, Obi-Wan shakes his head, lowers his blade and says that he won’t do it. He can’t. It pisses Anakin off, but nothing he says (yells furiously at him) can wipe out his sad smile and the tenderness in his eyes, and Anakin breaks.  
They end up fucking again. There are... way too many feelings involved here to be as casual as they pretended until now. “We shouldn’t,” Anakin says quietly, after, both of them still entangled in each other, unwilling to let go.“You shouldn’t. I’m a Sith.” “Now you tell me.” It makes him laugh for a second. 
Now, what’s the ending of this story? Does Anakin tell Obi-Wan that this is just this one time, and next time he will definitely kill him, whatever happens? Does Obi-Wan sees right through him and knows that he’s on the edge of a breakdown, that there must be a reason for Anakin to do all of this, pleading for him to “talk to me, dearest, why won’t you talk to me? Why won’t you let me help, Anakin?” even when they’re both in the middle of a battle, and it justs breaks Anakin a bit more each time?
Or does Anakin explain everything to him right away, and Obi-Wan convinces him that they will find a solution, they will save his mother and stop Sidious, but for now, he has to pretend to remain a loyal Sith? To play it safe, give them time to figure out how to rescue Shmi and stop Sidious? 
 I’m 100% invested now, you should definitely consider writing this fic because it’s an amazing AU! (with or without the ideas I threw here, I was just really into it)

1-10 for star wars?
1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?*
OBITINE OBITINE OBITINE OBITINE.
She's a literal colonizer and committed cultural genocide and Obi-Wan is fucking married to the code. Also there are a million other love interests for Obi-Wan that they could've explored and they would've been a thousand times more compelling. I have so many more issues but you've heard them already.
2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?*
Obikin, Anything with Ahsoka, Anidala (literally just me thinking that Padme deserves better)
3. Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?
Not because of Star Wars. At least not yet.
4. Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?*
*cough* Obitine and Reylo *cough* and Yes, yes they are.
5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?*
Not in Star Wars. Again, not yet anyway.
6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?*
I'm slowly coming around to Cal/Merrin and Rexsoka but the latter is mostly a platonic ship for me. But yes, I suppose.
OH also Obi-Wan/Siri Tachi. I used to not be a big fan of them but now I adore them.
7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?*
This may surprise you but...Obitine. I did enjoy them once upon a time.
8. Have you received anon hate? What about?*
Not for Star Wars related reasons *knocks on wood*
9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?
I really can't fucking stand Palpatine. I'm literally writing a time travel fix it fic just so I can murder him. Also Bo-Katan Kryze. She's just....very entitled.
10. Most disliked arc? Why?
In terms of Clone Wars arcs I've seen, I really didn't enjoy the Mandalore Arc for obvious reasons, but also I felt it completely undid so many of the things that made me like the Mandalorians in the first place? I know it came before The Mandalorian, but I wasn't happy with how Eurocentric and white the arc was and Satine constantly trying to get the moral high ground got on my fucking nerves as they tried to shoe-horn a last minute love interest in.
In terms of arcs in general, the whole Sequel Trilogy.

What about 25?:D
Thanks for sending this love!🖤🖤🖤😊😊😊
Ashjbk tbh this is the most popular ask for this game in my inbox rn. 🤗
Okay so this fic is one of my top fave Obikin fics of this year!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/19323928
It’s by @dirkygoodness @dirkygoodnessfic and oh my fucking god this fic came for me entire life tbh. Like the author grabbed me by my throat and was like here read some art™️ AND Y’ALL!!!! Y’ALL WHEN I SAY THAT THIS FIC GAVE ME ALL THE GODDAMN FEELINGS!!!!
Like words cannot describe the way I felt when I read this scene:
‘Darling, I’d never leave you, could never leave you,’ He feels Obi-Wan say, wordlessly, through the bond.
‘I need you,’ Anakin responds, with as much emotion as Obi-Wan is putting in his words.
“Anakin,” Obi-Wan moans, breathless, against his ear.
“I love you,” Anakin says before he has time to stop himself, and Obi-Wan's hips stutter with his words.
Anakin’s eyes snap open, panic suddenly gripping his heart like ice and he digs his fingers into Obi-Wan's back hard.
Ohnohnohnohno-
“Say that again,” Obi-Wan gasps, jerking like he was about to pull back but the hold Anakin has on him stops him.
“Obi-Wan I'm sor-”
“Say it again, Anakin, ” Obi-Wan all but begs, and Anakin sucks in a sharp breath, squeezing his eyes shut hard.
“I love you.” He says, quietly, fearful. Anakin is expecting anger. Or detached disappointment.
He's not expecting Obi-Wan to moan louder than Anakin’s ever heard him before and thrust into him hard, knocking the breath out of Anakin.
“I love you,” Anakin says again, shocked, his eyes snapping open. “I love you.”
“I love,” Obi-Wan starts, gasps, presses his forehead against Anakin’s shoulder. “Anakin, I love you .” Anakin’s mind whites out for a good minute, because, what?
What did Obi-Wan just say?
Did he just-?
“Force, Anakin, I love you,” Obi-Wan says it again, as if reading Anakin's thoughts - he might as well be, with his shields down.
“Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck,” Anakin whines, taking himself in hand with a moan. “Please, please.” He squeezes his eyes shut, doesn't know what he's asking for.
“I love you.” Obi-Wan says again. “I love you, Anakin. So much, I know I shouldn't but I can't - I love you.”
“Master,” Anakin keens, high and breathy, his head falling back as he presses himself as close to Obi-Wan as he can get.
'It's wrong, I love you, it's wrong, I love you,’ Is a mantra of feeling coming from Obi-Wan's mind, and Anakin knows it is.
LIKE!!!! *screams* EVERYONE PLS GO READ THIS FIC IF YOU HAVENT ALRWADY AND COME YELL WITH ME BC ITS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFULLY WRITTWN AND THE PORTRAYAL?????
Like the characterization?????? The writing????? FUCIKING GORGEOUS!!!!!
And not just that!!! Like it’s all about the mutual pining and the yearning and how in fucking love they both are with each other?????? FUck???🤧🥺🥺🥺🤧😭

For the Star Wars questions- 16 & 19. :)
Thank you!!! (y’all this got ridiculously long for two damn questions lol)
Send me a number and i’ll tell u my fave/least fave:
16. Book/Comic (Aight, so I’m actually not a huge comic reader in general, most of my comic knowledge comes from other fans on here posting about them, so this is gonna be mainly book-focused)
FAVE:  Welllllll, since I’m literally incapable of narrowing down my favorite anythings, I’m gonna do faves for both canon and EU novels.  
Canon-wise, it’s a tie beween A New Dawn and Ahsoka.  I know I don’t post about them as much on here, but I truly have a super soft spot for Kanera and Kanan and Hera’s characters, they’re just so GOOD and I love themmmmm aaaaaaaaa.  You get super good insights to how Kanan was running wild and traumatized and trying to repress everything and how Hera was a little naïve but still tough as nails and she had a dream and she was going to make it happen or so help her, ugh I just love how the story showed how they’re strongest as a team working together and I just love character dynamics where the two are so obviously married and kinda snark at each other sometimes but they have each other’s backs through everything and know each other like the back of their hands and uggghhhh this is just such a healthy good ship and such a good book.  The Ahsoka novel is just fantastic all on its own because it shows Ahsoka as a young adult, kinda floundering and lost in this new world, full of guilt over what happened with Anakin and the Order, trying to do what she can to help people and just enduring because she’s a survivor, she was raised (by two argumentative, adoptive parents who love her very much SO SAYETH THE BOOK) to be a survivor and handle herself, but that doesn’t mean she’s not lonely as all hell.  And oof I just fucking adore Kaeden Larte and her relationship with Ahsoka (who absolutely comes back and marries her once the war is over oh yes) and her relationship with Miara and ugh just all of it is A+++++.  E.K. Johnston is just an amazing author in general and her other book, Queen’s Shadow is one of my two canon runner ups because I am in love with her Sabé and her Padmé.  Other canon runner up is A Certain Point Of View, if only for the “Time of Death” chapter.  Don’t get me wrong, the rest of it is also fantastic, but oh god it kills me DEAD OBI WAN DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER AND I CRY I REALLY CRY
EU-wise (oh god, I haven’t even gotten to least-faves yet), it has to be the Revenge of the Sith novelization.  Without a question.  Y’all it’s SO FUCKIN’ good, and in my personal opinion should be considerrred canonnnnnn (look I think the reason they gave for excluding it is that there’s no mention of Ahsoka or Rex or Mandalore or any of the stuff that happened literally the day before which is valid, but I counterpoint that Anakin is a mess with A Lot Going On At The Moment, he could have just forgot?  He forgets most of his morals, all of his common sense, and three of his limbs by the end of the story, Snips could have just slipped his mind! xD).  Anyway, besides the fact that it’s like 99% written in Obikin-colored glasses which really just makes me happy as a person because I love it being acknowledged just how important they are to each other, it really offers a deeper insight INSIDE the chaos going on in Anakin’s head, the mess, just why he falls so quickly and so awfully.  I love it gives the Padmé plot that got cut on screen some validity.  The beautiful beginning and the goddam introductions to Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi are just A++++++++++++++ and oof other people can more accurately describe just how good this book is, but I love it a Big Lot ok?
LEAST FAVE:  Okey doke, here we go....  So firstly for canon, I’m not the biggest fan of how Claudia Grey writes Leia’s character.  She’s a wonderful storyteller and I love her worldbuilding, but just the way she characterizes Leia herself never felt... right, ya know?  Idk, I can’t really explain it, but it makes it difficult for me to enjoy her Leia novelsWarning right now that this is a VERY unpopular opinion and my opinion alone, please do not yell at me!  So as skilled and admired an author Timothy Zahn is, I don’t like the Thrawn books.  I’m sorry, I don’t.  To me, Thrawn is just.... ok so he’s like BBC!Sherlock but in space.  The plot makes a big deal about how “oooh cool and intelligent and Literally Better Than Everyone Else” Thrawn is, but the only way they really show his “cleverness” is by either him solving problems by pulling together information that literally no one but the writer knows and then acting like it was oh so obvious and in front of everyone OR, the story dumbs down other characters to make him look smart.  And maybe it was because the one Thrawn book goes after Anakin/Vader in particular to do the latter is what kinda ticked me off on Thrawn books in general, but y’all, it really ticked me off, because Anakin is like the lowest hanging fruit for an author to pick to make their character look good in comparison, and therefore it is done All The Time (LOOKING AT YOU, CLONE WARS), which I think is lazy and an insult to Anakin’s character.  Look, I am fully aware Anakin Skywalker is a dolt to the highest degree sometimes, but he is ALSO A GENIUS.  He is SMART.  IT IS CANON THAT HE IS SMART.  So when the Thrawn book has Thrawn constantly one-upping Anakin The Useless Doofus (and Padmé a bit!!!) and then doing it again once he meets him as Vader, that just makes me hmmmm.
The canon comics are actually gonna be featured on the list here a bit because if y’all don’t already know my hatred for That One Particular Vader Comic (not the rest of the series run as I have not read it and from what I hear, it’s excellent and I’d probs like it a lot) doing the implication in a dream sequence where it says that Palpatine used the Dark Side to impregnate Shmi and create Anakin, well I HATE IT.  Look, I know the plot was literally about Sidious trying to mess with Vader’s head and that dream shouldn’t be trusted, but it fooled all the fans too and now like 60% of Star Wars fans actually believe Sidious fathered Anakin and I am so damn tired of hearing about that.  Yeah, now that Reylo is canon, that comic’s authors are trying to do damage control by saying that no, Sidious isn’t Anakin’s father and Rey and Ben are not second cousins, but they’re still being mysterious about it and “oh well it COULD be this--” so now there’s just more fans who are digging into that theory just because they don’t like Reylo and I don’t really care for the ship either but I really HATE the entire “Born of the Dark” concept for reasons I can explain more separately, so I’m pissy at that particular comic for spawning it.  I know it’s petty but I do.
EU-wise, well, this is gonna be unpopular too, cuz I haven’t read most of the EU stuff, and from what I’ve heard of it, there doesn’t seem to be much that I WOULD like.  The movie novelizations all seem good, but everything else???  “Obi Wan prequels but guess what, he had a shitty childhood too!” uh, no thanks, the rest of his life sucks enough, I want to see him happy.  “Mandalorian worldbuilding, but they’re all a bunch of stoic, overpowered badasses who are Good At Everything And Better Than Literally Everyone and the plot bashes the Jedi left right and center!” ehhhhhhhh pass.  “What happened after Return of the Jedi, except the Skywalkers still don’t get a happy ending because the galaxy goes to war again, Han and Leia’s son turns evil, Luke Suffers, and Palpatine comes back again!” nah, that sounds too depressing-- oh wAIT :) :) :)(at least the EU actually lets Han and Leia grow old and happy together okay okay that’s enough sequel salt for one day)
19. Outfit
FAVE:  Everything Padmé Amidala wears in the movies.  No I will not narrow it down.  I am in love with her whole wardrobe and I want it. 
 I also love the standard Jedi tunics and tabards and cloak (c’mon, the cloak completes the picture!)  It’s just such a signature and unique look that’s supposed to combine medieval European knight tunics and samurai warrior clothing and just the #aesthetic is oof, just wonderful.
Also Sabine Wren’s armor and its various paint jobs.  It’s just so uniquely her and bright and beautiful and badass in all its stages and yes good I like it.
Also Lando Calrissian’s cloaks!  Swooshy and colorful and good!  I love cloaks!  
LEAST FAVE:  Gonna go with my petty, silly ones first, and those are all of Padmé Amidala’s outfits that are only seen in the The Clone Wars TV show (so not the ones that were based off of movie costumes).  Eh, actually three of them were nice, her orange outfit she visits Mina in, her white casual housedress, and her black slinky Clovis dress.  All of her other series-only outfits made me highkey pissy because they were either A.) Wrong for the situation she was in, B.) Defied the laws of physics and should not have held the shape they did/stayed on her body, or C.) just plain UGLY (the highest crime of all), and for the animators to have the audACITY to put any of those things in the mere vicinity of the most stylish woman in the galaxy is an insult to Padmé, an insult to ME, and an insult to Star Wars as a whole (yes, I am mostly joking, but come on!).  No, I will not give the designers the excuse of clothing being difficult and expensive and time consuming to animate because I have SEEN the fancy, PRETTY outfits of the other ladies of Padmé’s status on the show.  Everything Satine Kryze wore was intricately beautiful as all hell and I loved it.  Riyo Chuchi’s two outfits were lovely and fashionable.  Heck, I’m pretty sure I liked Mina Bonteri’s outfit too.  There were tons of people on that show with stylish clothing!  How hard would it have been for the animators to remember Padmé doesn’t wear exposed midriffs on official government business?  That dresses with no sides or back cannot be sleeveless or they will not stay up?  Not give her hairstyles that looked like either a goddam tuning fork or like Jimmy Neutron’s mother?  That beige jumpsuits are BORING and adding a mauve vest is NOT enough to make it exciting!!!! xD xD xD 
Aight, now in more seriousness, I also hated both of Ahsoka’s outfits in the original TCW show.  Enough people have spoken on why sending a fourteen year old into an active warzone in a tube top and miniskirt is a BAD IDEA, but like it just makes me extra mad when you remember her older and more experienced at Not Getting Pulverized Masters were both in full concealing robes and chest and shoulder and shin armor, so you can’t even pass it off as Jedi not getting hurt as easily.  Her updated outfit was only slightly an improvement because her Masters STILL got at least fully covering robes and arm bracers, while Ahsoka still had her entire back exposed, leg holes exposing valuable arteries and stuff, and a goddam boob window that basically signals “shoot me here”.  Look, I know the animators goofed, and I know how they have learned from it because from Rebels on, they never show her as improperly covered for battle, in the new TCW season both outfits are cute and practical too, but seeing her running around in her red outfits actively impeded and took me out of my watching experience because I was cringing over her having a lack of protection, that it made her that much more vulnerable to injury.
Finally just gotta give a standard raised finger to the Slave Leia Bikini.  Carrie Fisher hated it so I do too.

Every even number :)
2.                  What is your favorite movie?
AOTC : we got introduced to so much greatcharacters : Dex, Dooku, Jango Fett… We got to see Obi Wan drink and play detectiveand going with the flaw in some of the most ridiculous situation ever shown onscreen, we got to meet the GAR for the first time too! I also loved Kamino aesthetic.
4.                  Do you ship Anidala?
This is a complicated question. I don’t, notreally because I don’t think theirs is a healthy relationship. They jump into amarriage after having lost contact for ten years, Padme just brushes under thecarpet the fact that Anakin committed genocide, they don’t seem to agree onsome of the fundamental things such as democracy. I mean Padme fought untildeath to preserve the Republic and the Democracy, while Anakin was on board fora dictatorship and then brought on the Fall of the Republic. And some of therecent comics have shown that Padme does not trust Anakin (even if it’s only onpolitical matters because of his relationship with Palpatine). Also Anakin doesnot do healthy relationship and that is reason enough to not ship Anidala. On theother hand, I find Anidala fascinating because of all this: it’s a deeplyflawed relationship, yet they did it anyway and tried to make things work.
6.                  Luke or Leia?
Definitly Luke. Leia is way to belligerent forme.
8.                  Did you like Lando?
As a matter of fact I did! I liked his slyhumour, his friendship, the hinted background with Han, everything. I think heis one of the characters of the Original Trilogy that stuck with me the most.
10.                  Did you like the sequels?
Nope not at all. TFA is nothing more than aremake of ANH with characters with a different name/colour/gender (it was likewatching the Beauty and the Beast live action remake), as for TLJ, I still don’tknow what they were trying to do. At least I had some things to say afterleaving the theatre, even though none of them were nice. It’s a Star Wars travestythinking it’s a clever film. And I’m still mad that we saw Yoda and not Obi Wanhaving a talk with Luke. I mean who better to talk about what happened but ObiWan? Especially since the same catastrophe affected the characters in such adifferent way. But no, it would have required the movie to have some substancethat was very sadly lacking.
12.                  Snoke or Palpatine?
Palpatine. I mean have you SEEN what he did tothe Galaxy? He played the game from the inside, become Supreme Chancellor then Emperorand he had corrupted the Republic so much that SENATORS applauded him when he proclaimedthe Empire!!!
14.                  Thoughts on General Hux?
He spends most of his time on screen screaming?I’m not into the sequel fandom so I don’t have to say much about him. One thingfanart made clear however is that he seems to be a cat lover, so he scorespoints.
16.                  Least favorite ships?
Ooh boy, here comes I fear some unpopular opinions:Obikin first and foremost, just NO. Obitine just doesn’t work for me, nor ObiWan/Siri Tachi, despite Ruth Baulding excellent Lineage and Legacy series. Rex/ObiI just don’t get it (not that I mind it’s just I don’t understand why Rex/Obi).
18.                  What is your favourite quote?
« Hello there! » or alternatively ObiWan and Dex : “Cloners? Are they friendly?” “Depends how good your manners are andhow big your pocket money is” It’s just so reminiscent of Obi Wan attachment tothings that are “civilised” (and Dooku attachment too), like Ok, we know moneyis what makes the world go round, but I like this idea that manners and respectare really important too. Thank the Force it’s Obi Wan who went to Kamino. Can’timagine their reactions if it had been Anakin….
20.              Sith Code or Jedi Code?
Jedi Code, wether you agree with it or not, it’sa quality food for thought and meditation.
22.              What is the saddest Star Wars scene?
DO YOU EVEN HAVE TO ASK????? Qui Gon’s death akathe scene that didn’t happen
24.              Han or Luke?
Again Luke.
26.              Favorite villain?
It’s a tie between Dooku and Palpatine. Palpatinebecause a villain of such scale and cunning is an extinct specie in blockbusterstoday and Dooku because he’s fascinating, and it gives me so much Lineage feels!AND he’s played by Christopher Lee.
28.              Do you want Rey to have a love interest?
Noper. Being asexual and seeing how the romanticrelationships are handled by Hollywood (romanticizing predatory behaviour in men,thinking that snide remarks are belligerent sexual tension, pushing characterstogether that have NO chemistry) I would prefer for Rey to be single and allowher character to have some growth on her own before being saddled in arelationship.
30.              Thoughts on Solo?
I haven’t seen it. But from the clips I’ve seen,I LOVED Lando.
32.              What is your favorite Star Wars pun?
I had to look them up, because I don’t think I’ve ever heard/seen one. The one I found genuimly funny was this one : “What did Cody say to his fellow clone when Count Dooku spotted them? “Tyranus saw us, Rex!”
34.              What is your favorite battle?
I haven’t seen TCW so I can’t say much about it (onlythe two first seasons were available on Netflix and since it isn’t in chronologicalorder, I find it very confusing and sort of gave up). So I’m gonna go with themovies. For the lightsabre battle, it’s Obi Wan vs Darth Maul in TPM.
36.              If you could be trained by Qui-Gon Jinn or Obi-Wan,who would you choose?
Obi Wan. Qui Gon would have infuriated me.
38.              Anidala or Scoundress?
Scoundress because I said earlier Anidala is notan healthy relationship.      
40.              Leia’s hair or Lando’s fashion?
Lando’s fashion. I would never wear anything asflashy as he does, but I wish I could rock the capes as he does!
42.              If you could have any creature as a pet, what wouldyou choose?
A Loth-cat.
44.              Yousa like Jar Jar?
I never really disliked him in the first place.Anakin annoyed me more than him^^.
46.              Finn or Poe?
Finn became a joke in the TLJ and seeing whatwas done to his character, I much prefer Poe, who was at least a bit morefleshed out. But I admit I don’t really care about either of them, the sequeltrilogy did nothing to make the character other things than walking/talkingtropes. And as such, I was never emotionally invested in any of them.
48.              What are your top five ships?
My OTP is QuiObi, after that, well Obidala isthe only het ship I like when it comes to Obi Wan. Then there’s Quinlan/Obi Wanbecause these two were totally in a relationship at some point or another. Finally,Han/Lando. Yes it’s only four ships but that’s it.
50.              Who is your favourite character?
Obi Wan. Hands down. Nobody comes close.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 11 
     Obi-Wan woke to his new favourite sight in the entire galaxy. The sun was just beginning to stream through the windows, still tinted with the golden orange hue of the first signs of the sunrise, washing across Anakin’s still sleeping face where it rested on Obi-Wan’s chest. The blanket had been long lost in the heat of their love making the night before, and Anakin's naked body was on display for him, fitting perfectly against his own. 
     He looked down at him and smiled at the marks he could see on his neck, screaming to the world that Anakin was his and only his. He ran his fingers through his messy hair and gently traced his other hand along the perfect curve of his back, and memories from the night before came flooding back to him. The memory of Anakin's skin against his own, moving together in perfect harmony. The memory of Anakin's lips against his, tongues mixing together, tasting each other, and oh how sweet Anakin had tasted. The memory of how it felt to be inside Anakin, with his arms and legs wrapped around him as he thrust into him, finally becoming one completed heart, one completed soul. 
     And now, as he lay there thinking of his perfect world currently sleeping on his chest, looking down at him with only love in his eyes, only one thought crossed his mind. Even sleep ruffled and thoroughly fucked, Anakin was the most beautiful being in the entire galaxy. 
     Anakin stirred against him, running a hand up his chest and coming to rest on Obi-Wan’s cheek, then murmured with his eyes still closed, “You really think I'm beautiful?”
     “Of course I do, my love, I-” Obi-Wan stopped, head tilted, then lifted up a bit more to get a better look at Anakin and asked, “Wait, how did you… how did you know I thought you were beautiful?”
     Anakin lifted his head and gave Obi-Wan a very confused, and still half asleep look. “I heard you say it… are you okay, Obi-Wan? Did I really wear you out that much last night?”
     “Anakin,” he started with a shake of his head, “I didn't say that out loud, I thought it in my head.”
     He opened his eyes a little wider, more alert and asked, “Did I read your mind? Can I hear your thoughts?! How is that even possible?”
     “It has been said that if the bond between a Master and a Padawan is strong enough, then thought transference is possible, though it is extremely rare. I myself have never known anyone who has achieved it.” Then he smiled at Anakin and placed a hand over his where it still rested against his cheek. “Our bond must have strengthened after we gave ourselves fully to each other last night.”
     “I knew we were meant for each other.”
     “Right as always, dear one,” Obi-Wan smiled, then turned and placed a kiss on the palm of Anakin's hand and said, “tell me if you can hear this thought.”
     Anakin focused his mind, let the Force surround him as Obi-Wan had been teaching him, then reached out towards the bond and he did hear it. Clear as day, as if the thought were being said in his very own head, ‘I have never known true love until I met you, my sweet Anakin’. The thought made him blush and turn away, his entire body filling with delight as Obi-Wan’s voice echoed in his mind.
     “I heard it,” he whispered, then suddenly turned back to Obi-Wan with a playfully evil smirk and said, “okay, tell me if you can hear my thoughts.”
     Obi-Wan rested his head back against the pillow and waited, he didn't have to focus nearly as hard as Anakin, before Anakin's voice was inside his head. “Really, Anakin, so early?” He shook his head as Anakin's smirk grew impossibly more impish, though he was also fighting back an elated smile. “I am no young man you know.”
     “You may not be, but I am,” Anakin said as he lifted himself up to straddle Obi-Wan’s hips, “I can do most of the work for the both of us.”
     The shift in Anakin's position revealed that Obi-Wan was just as hard as he was, and both of them groaned when Anakin took advantage of the angle he was at and ground down into Obi-Wan, rubbing their aching cocks together. He kept up a steady rhythm of thrusts as he bent down to suck at Obi-Wan’s neck for a moment, Obi-Wan’s heavy panting in his ear spurring him on. “Do you want me to stop…old man?” He breathed against Obi-Wan’s ear with a smirk, knowing full well exactly what his answer would be.
     “I may not be as young as you, dear one, but I am no old man,” he turned and captured Anakin's lips in a dirty kiss, and already Anakin knew he wouldn't last long, “and I most certainly was not saying no to more of this.”
     “I don't need much to be ready,” he whispered against his lips, and Obi-Wan took no time in reaching to the bedside table to grab the tube of bacta.
     Anakin was right, he was still a bit loose from their last session, so Obi-Wan’s first finger slid in easily, and Anakin was already pushing back against it. Seconds later he added another finger, and soon after a third, and when Anakin was a writhing and grinding mess above him, he pulled his fingers out and slicked up his cock. 
     When he was ready he took hold of Anakin's hips and shifted to roll them over, but Anakin planted his legs on the bed and stopped him from moving. “No, wait.” Obi-Wan stopped his movements and looked up when Anakin lifted off of him, hovering just slightly above his hard cock. “I want to try it this way. Just let me.”
     Obi-Wan just nodded and loosened his grip on Anakin's waist, then laid back and let him take charge. He watched with wide eyes as Anakin sat back, and then lowered himself just enough so that the tip of his cock was rubbing against Anakin's hole. Anakin tossed his head back, eyes closed, as he slowly lowered himself on Obi-Wan’s cock, and slid all the way down until he was fully seated. 
     Without even giving Obi-Wan so much as a second to collect himself, Anakin started moving. He lifted himself back up and slammed immediately back down, pressing Obi-Wan mercilessly into the bed. He started up a quick pace, bouncing on Obi-Wan’s cock, and was already a moaning mess along with Obi-Wan. Not only was the feeling of Anakin around his cock pushing him quickly over the edge, but the sight that was before him was enough to make him come on its own. 
     Anakin still had his head thrown back, eyes closed, and mouth open as the lewdest noises escaped his lips. His back was arched slightly over Obi-Wan’s knees, his hands reaching back and clutching tightly to his thighs for balance. And as Obi-Wan’s eyes trailed further down the taut muscles of Anakin's stomach, they landed on his cock which was bouncing in time with him, the tip occasionally coming down to smack against Obi-Wan’s stomach, smearing precome with every touch. 
     Barely able to control himself any longer, Obi-Wan tossed his head back against the pillows, moaning with every press of Anakin's body against him. He arched up into Anakin, lifting his hips off the bed and thrusting up into him with every bounce, which had Anakin seeing stars and moaning so loud Obi-Wan was sure they would have heard him in the city. 
     Obi-Wan kept hitting his prostate over and over again, Anakin's body starting to turn into mush above him, his moans coming out rasped and gravelly from the barrage of pleasure coursing through him. His hands trailed slow up Anakin's sides as he arched harder into him, grabbing Anakin and forcing him down onto his cock impossibly harder. Anakin moved his hands from Obi-Wan’s thighs to grab his hands on his sides and entwined their fingers together, then leaned forward a bit to give Obi-Wan more access to thrust up into him. 
     They were both so caught up in their love making, the only thing they could get out were wanton moans and grunts of each other's names, and Anakin wasn't surprised when Obi-Wan sent his words of praise over their newly strengthened bond. ‘Oh, Anakin, you are so beautiful, such a good boy for me.’ 
     The praise nearly finished Anakin. He didn't think he was ever going to get enough of Obi-Wan not only calling him his ‘good boy’ but now he could do it inside his head. Then he leaned forward even further, his hands still clasped tightly to Obi-Wan’s, and added a roll to his hips that drove them both insane, and again he had Obi-Wan’s voice inside his head again. ‘Ah yes, Anakin, you take it so well, dear one, my very good boy.’
     Anakin was too far gone to even attempt to say anything across the bond, seconds away from coming completely undone. Obi-Wan felt the shift in Anakin through the bond and stopped his thrusting to sit straight up, pressed tightly against Anakin’s chest. One arm moved to wrap around his waist and hold him close, and the other hand reached quickly between them to grab the base of Anakin's cock and stop him from coming. “Oh no, darling,” Obi-Wan all but growled into Anakin's mouth, his lips parted in a silent moan, eyes rolled back, “you will not come, I am not done with you yet.”
     The command in Obi-Wan’s voice shot lightning straight to Anakin's gut and his body jolted involuntarily against Obi-Wan’s, but he was not letting Anakin move. What power Anakin had at the beginning of this was completely lost now, Obi-Wan had taken control in less than the blink of an eye and Anakin didn't even care. 
     What he did care about was the fact that Qbi-Wan still had a tight hold on his cock as well as his hips, and would not let Anakin move, clearly trying to calm him down and drag this out as long as they could. They were both panting hard, their foreheads pressed together, breaths mixing between them. Their chests heaved in sync with their breaths, the sweat slicked skin of their chests rubbing against each other, and Anakin was loving the feeling of Obi-Wan’s golden hairs scratching against the smoothness of his skin. 
     Eventually Anakin became impatient, wanting desperately to feel Obi-Wan moving inside him again, and started trying to grind his hips into Obi-Wan. But Obi-Wan was relentless, hell bent on keeping the control he had taken from Anakin, and held his hips with a bruising grip. “Mmm,” he smirked against Anakin's lips, “my darling, I love how eager you are, but you will wait.”
     Anakin whined at the command and lunged forward, desperate to connect with Obi-Wan in any way, trying to connect their lips in a messy kiss. But Obi-Wan managed to evade him and pulled back with a chuckle, leaving Anakin to chase after him and whine again. “Obi-Wan, please,” he begged, his voice raspy and practically gone from all the moaning, “please, I need-” He stopped as he choked back another moan.
     Obi-Wan closed his eyes, leaning forward and moaning into Anakin's neck, licking a bruise from the night before, “Tell me what you need, my love, tell me everything that you want.”
     “I want you to, ahh…” He groaned as Obi-Wan bit down on yesterday's mark and wound his hands tighter into his hair, “I want you to move, I want to feel you inside me.”
     “What else,” he lifted his head up to nip along his jawline, “what else do you want?”
     “I want you to make me come, Force Obi-Wan, I need you to make me come,” Anakin pulled harder on Obi-Wan’s hair and gripped tighter to him with his legs, then grazed his teeth along his ear and whispered, “and I want you to come inside me, Obi-Wan, mark me and make me yours.”
     Obi-Wan growled against Anakin's neck, a primal urge surging through his body as he released Anakin's cock and grabbed his hair, pulling his head back, nose to nose now. “As you wish, my love.”
     Without warning he held Anakin's waist tighter, and lifted him slightly above his hips so he could thrust up into him at an alarming pace. Anakin instantly threw his head back and dug his nails into Obi-Wan’s shoulders, screaming his name as they were both engulfed in complete ecstasy and oh so close. 
     Anakin couldn't take it anymore, just a few more thrusts and he knew he would be coming all over their chests. “Ah, Obi-Wan!” He moaned, “I'm so… so close, I need-”
     He was cut off by another moan pulled right from his gut, and Obi-Wan moved his lips to his ear, moaning himself before he growled, “Come for me Anakin, come now, my love.” 
     That was all it took for Anakin to completely unravel. He clutched impossibly tighter to Obi-Wan as he came while screaming his name, his come smearing between them while Obi-Wan kept pounding into him. But it wasn't long before his thrusts became sporadic, just a few more before he held Anakin right against his chest, pulled him fully down onto his cock, and cried out Anakin's name against his neck while his body stilled and he came inside him. 
     Once Anakin had milked Obi-Wan of all he had, Obi-Wan collapsed backward pulling Anakin down with him, and the two of them laid wrapped together and panting against the skin of each other's flushed necks. It took them a while to calm down, Anakin's entire body was shaking with pleasure, with the force of his climax, and the ache of Obi-Wan’s love making shot through every nerve. Force, he never thought he would be able to have this, that Obi-Wan would want him, let alone choose him over everything else. Sometimes he wondered if it was all real, if it would last past the next sunrise.
     “Mmm,” he hummed into Obi-Wan’s neck, reveling in the feel of Obi-Wan’s gentle hands running up and down his back, touching his shoulders then sliding all the way down to his butt every time, his fingers grazing his hole where Obi-Wan was still inside him, “this isn't a dream right?”
     Obi-Wan chuckled lightly, bouncing Anakin on his chest as he did. “Why would you think this is a dream?”
     “Because I can't believe this is actually happening, that you're really here with me, that you love me.”
     “But I do love you, Anakin, and that is very real.”
     “I know,” Anakin shifted to hover slightly over Obi-Wan, looking down at him with a soft smile, lifting a hand to move some stray hair off Obi-Wan’s forehead, “it's just… the amount of times I've dreamt of us like this, together, perfectly happy. Then I wake up and I'm alone. I'm just afraid this is another dream and any second I'm going to wake up in an empty bed.”
     Obi-Wan reached up and pulled him down into a breathtaking kiss, so filled with passion that Anakin nearly combusted right on the spot. “Trust me, dear one, this is not a dream. I am really here with you and I am not going anywhere.”
     “You and me forever, then?” Anakin smiled, rubbing his nose against Obi-Wan’s
     “Looks like you're stuck with me,” Obi-Wan smiled back before locking their lips again.
~~~~~~~~~~~
     Anakin would never get enough of having Obi-Wan’s lips on his own, or trailing along his skin, down his neck, his shoulders, his chest. Every inch of skin Obi-Wan could get at with his mouth, he was all over, and Anakin was more than willing to let him. Even when they weren’t laying naked in bed together, Obi-Wan was never not touching him somehow. Anakin was in heaven and he never wanted to leave.
     Currently, the two had managed to somehow drag themselves out of bed, though they hadn't gone all that far. They had wandered through the villa and found themselves sprawled out on a couch, fully clothed despite Anakin's consistent protests that they were the only ones in the villa afterall, who cared if they walked around naked? But Obi-Wan forced Anakin to dress himself and now he was laid back against the arm rest trying to read, and Anakin was draped across the rest of the couch with his head in Obi-Wan’s lap trying to stop him from reading. Though Obi-Wan’s attempts at ignoring him were futile, because even though one of Obi-Wan’s hands was dug into Anakin's hair it apparently wasn't enough attention. 
     He was just about to finish his chapter when he had to hold back a smirk as Anakin's hand came up to poke at his face again, something that had been happening every thirty seconds or so, and eventually he ended up just putting the book on the floor beside him. He grabbed the hand Anakin had been sneaking under his book and leaned over him. “Anakin, how can I read my book when you're prodding at my face like this?”
     “Why are you reading a book when I'm right here and definitely much more interesting than whatever it is you're reading about?” He gave Obi-Wan a cute smirk and a wink, and Obi-Wan couldn't help but laugh.
     “I suppose you're right, how dare I not pay attention to you for even a second, I must be the worst boyfriend in history.”
     “Boyfriend,” he drawled, “is that what we are?”
     Obi-Wan hadn't noticed the slip up, he hadn't meant to assume but he just thought, “I… well we… I didn't mean to assume, Anakin, I'm so sorry-”
     Anakin laughed and lifted a hand up to caress his cheek, “Relax, Obi-Wan, I was just kidding. I was hoping that when we were finally able to go back home, I would be able to introduce you as my boyfriend, finally.”
     “Well that is good news because I was hoping the same thing,” he leaned down to catch Anakin's lips in a quick, sweet kiss, “though I am not as much looking forward to telling Qui-Gon that he was right.”
     Anakin tilted his head with a quirked brow, “What do you mean, he was right?”
     Obi-Wan chuckled and shook his head. He had forgotten that he hadn't told Anakin about the conversation he’d had with Qui-Gon just before they left the palace. “Well, he may have implied that this would happen between us while we were here.”
     “Really?!” He perked up at that. He had thought the Jedi Master was quite the straight shooter, a rule follower just as much as Obi-Wan had been, but obviously he was very wrong about the older Jedi.
     “It shocked me too. Even more so when he suggested that I let it happen, let go of my hold on the Jedi way, and let myself be happy with you while we were here together.”
     “I knew I liked him for a reason.” They both laughed, then Anakin became a bit serious again when he asked, “Will he be mad, do you think?”
     “About us?”
     Anakin nodded. “You said he mentioned letting go of your hold of the Jedi ways while we were here, in the villa, but does that mean he'll expect you to return to your duties as soon as we get back? Like nothing ever happened?”
     Obi-Wan had also wondered this, even before he and Anakin had finally given into each other, and everytime he thought about it he came to the same conclusion. “I have known Qui-Gon for a very long time,” he started, smiling at all the memories that flashed through his mind as he thought about the older man, “and I am pretty confident in saying that I think Qui-Gon will want me to do what I think is best for me. If that means leaving the Order then I am confident he will stand by that decision.”
     “Are you sure that's what you want to do? Leave the Order, I mean?” He looked up to Obi-Wan, meeting his eyes so he could search them when he answered. “I don't want you to give up being a Jedi for me if you don't want to. As I said, I don't have to be King, I can come with you.”
     “Anakin,” he smiled down at him, leaning down to rub their noses together, and pushed as much love and truth across their bond as he could, “I have never been more sure of anything in my life. I have been a Jedi for many years now, and I have loved every minute of it, but after we were reunited there was no future I could see for me that didn't have you in it. When we return, I will inform Qui-Gon of my intent to leave the Order and remain on Naboo with you, for the rest of my life, and I will happily stand by your side when you become King.”
     Anakin lifted a hand up to rest on Obi-Wan’s cheek and softly whispered, “We will be Kings, together. I want no one else by my side but you, and Naboo will be lucky to have you on the throne with me, as their King. I love you, Obi-Wan.”
     “I love you too, dear one.”
~~~~~~~~~~

What are your favorite time travel fanfics?
Hi!  I LOVE TIME TRAVEL FICS, as you can see, and Star Wars fandom is really good for them!  I have a set of time travel recs here (though, there are some that I’ve read since or haven’t yet read that aren’t on that list, so don’t take it as complete, for all that it’s monster length already!), but my primer of WHERE TO START would be:  (MORE UNDER THE CUT)
✦ Shadows of the Future by stormqueen873, obi-wan & anakin & qui-gon & cast, 129.3k 
  ObiWan lost the duel on Mustafar, but instead of dying, he finds himself on a ship leaving Tatooine, with his old Master and a familiar young boy. As events begin to unfold, can he stop the future he knows from occuring?
It’s softer and fluffier than I usually go for in the beginning, but once the fic gets into its swing I was absolutely hooked on it and read it in just a handful of sittings. The emotional payoffs, when they happen, were incredibly satisfying for me and it was a pure, giant ball of big, fluffy fix-it with some emotionally cathartic releases along the way.  I read this early on in my SW fic reading time and I will always hold fond memories of it!✦ time to change the road you’re on by wreckageofstars, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka & cast, 37.4k
  The end of the Clone War is near - the fall of the Republic even nearer. Anakin Skywalker, caught up in the events that lead to the rise of the Empire and the loss of everything he holds dear, finds himself sent nearly two decades into the future.
This is, at its heart, an Ahsoka story with Anakin playing an incredibly important role, and it was ALL ABOUT forcing these characters into a situation where they had the breathing room and nudging needed to talk through some shit and it’s so very, very cathartic for that.  My favorites were the scenes with Obi-Wan (well, they would be) but the whole thing was beautifully done.
✦ The Dark Path Lit by Sun and Stars by A_Delicate_Fury, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka & luke & leia & cody & cast, time travel, 27.7k wip 
  After a disaster on the cosmic scale that Obi-Wan is still trying to wrap his mind around, he finds himself back in the early days of the Clone Wars, Commander Cody loyally at his side, Anakin at his back, and Sidious plotting against the Jedi at every turn. He’s been given an unasked for chance to do everything over again. And with the Force as his ally, he intends to set the galaxy on a brighter path than its current trajectory.
Oh, this one is gorgeous, the characterization is spot-on (there were moments of Obi-Wan characterization that made me want to weep for how much I fell in love all over again, through subtle gestures and the sheer amount of good that he is) and it’s done in an interesting way and I am so, so eager for more.  The reunion was satisfying, but yet there’s still so much excitement about what’s to come and it really is an amazing fic.✦ Soldier, Poet, King by Glare, obi-wan/anakin & qui-gon & mace & dooku & palpatine & cast, sith!obi-wan, NSFW, 102.5k wip 
  Second chances are very rarely given, but the Force smiles upon two of its favorite children and returns them to a time before their actions have met their consequences. Anakin Skywalker, also known as Darth Vader, seeks redemption while Obi-Wan “Ben” Kenobi, disillusioned with the Jedi Order and its Code, falls to the Darkness.
SPK is one of the first fics I read with the trope of Soft Sith characters and I fell in love with the concept of it (thanks to this and wicked thing) and it’s still one of those that I will be forever fond of, because it really knew how to write tension being built up and then resolved in a satisfying way, while still keeping the plot moving forward and giving me my Obikin feelings!  As much as I love so many of Glare’s fics, this one will probably always be #1 in my heart just because it made such an impression on me and was so very much fun to read and got in all sorts of tropes that I love (time travel! fun Sith antics! a very mild d/s relationship at times! all things I ate up!).✦ The Exchange by MissLearn, obi-wan & anakin & some anakin/padme & ahsoka & qui-gon & rex & cast, time travel, 77k wip 
  ROTS Obi-Wan and Anakin are swapped with their younger, TPM, selves. It changes things, in both parallels.
This is another I was catching up on today and I’m always sad when I get to the end of what’s been posted because it’s such an incredibly solid story that hits on exactly what I want.  There are a lot of typos and such, but the characterization really gets who these characters are, it’s all about the various connections between the different versions of Obi-Wan and Anakin, it deeply cares about both of them and mending or clarifying things from both sides and, oh, the most recent chapter had an incredible scene about emotions and stuff that I just glowed after reading!  It’s one of those that I would happily, happily sit here and read another 100k of if you gave it to me and not come back up until I was done.
✦ Threads of the Past by Magier74, obi-wan & anakin & qui-gon & xanatos, 37.8k
 Obi-Wan and Anakin make an unexpected detour returning home from a mission.
This is a fic that I wound up really liking for how much better it made me feel–maybe not in the way I hoped for or expected, but still gave me something that really helped with the crushing angst SW sometimes delivers.  Obi-Wan and Anakin travel back in time to meet Qui-Gon and Padawan Obi-Wan is a thing that should happen more often!✦ Futurus (-a -um) by cadesama, obi-wan/anakin/padme & cast, time travel, 60.8k wip 
  Cracked hyperdrive? No problem. Just hold it together with the Force. Time travel? Well. That could be a bigger problem.
I haven’t reread this one in ages, but it was actually one of the early fics I read, when I was pretty Anidala-only and it sort of helped me ease into the idea of Obikin and Obianidala, in addition to having a fun plot!  A really good, solid read!✦ White Rabbits by Butterfly, obi-wan/anakin & luke & leia & han & cast, NSFW, time travel, 102.5k wip 
  Through the Force, everything is connected. Anakin and Obi-Wan find this out first-hand.
I read this really quickly and it’s still hard for me to believe that it was over 100k, because it did not feel that long to me!  It’s just as much about Obi-Wan and Anakin being in the future and trying to puzzle their way through all of this as it is about Anakin’s terrible love life (freaking out about Padme, his feelings for Obi-Wan coming to a head) and it’s been awhile since it updated, but what’s there is really worth reading!✦ Reprise by Elfpen, obi-wan & anakin & qui-gon & cast, time travel, 357.3k wip
Ben Kenobi dies aboard the Death Star in the year 0 BBY. He wakes up shortly thereafter in the Jedi temple in the year 41 BBY. Haunted by memories and regret, Ben must forge a new path for himself in the Jedi Order of his youth while navigating the murky waters of time travel. Crafting a better future from bitter experience is hard, but learning to heal is even harder. Major AU.
I haven’t read all of Reprise yet (not for lack of desire, just time/it got buried on my reader) but I’ve enjoyed everything of Elfpen’s that I’ve read so far and this one is nice and long and I’ve heard nothing but good about it!✦ Ouroboros by bedlamsbard, obi-wan/anakin/padme, time travel, 458.6k wip
Considering that he had picked up what was probably a Sith artifact, promptly passed out in the middle of a war zone, and apparently woken up twenty years in the future with Obi-Wan having taken up residence in his head, Anakin thought he was entitled to have a few questions.
I’ve only read Wake the Storm so far, so I can’t vouch for the others, but I liked that one a lot and it was well-written and does a nice slow burn on the Obi-Wan/Anakin front and has them traveling through time and seeing different worlds in a really fun, engaging way!
