#Korkie is a Kenobi

[phoenixyfriend]

I love the number of fanon illegitimate and adopted children everyone foists on Obi-Wan. Korkie, Cal, Anakin, Ahsoka, Luke, Leia, literally every child he comes into contact with, and a few he doesn't, just results in a fandom kneejerk reaction of "that's a dad right there."

(Hells, we see him interact with Nuna and even if that's not his kid, the way he acts is just Pure Dad Mode. Amazing.)

IDK how Ewan McGregor managed to get literally thousands of people to look at his 33yo self (with artificial grey hairs, admittedly) and go "that's a father, right there. That's a bona fide Dad. He's got at least a few kids." but he did it. Maybe everyone--including the TCW team--looked at him holding CGI baby twins and went "oh. Oh we gotta do something with that."

You know the one. (Source: @yeahyeahyeaaah)

And like. He has no kids. Canon says he has no kids.

Yet we all* know that, deep down, that man is a dad.

* "All" is a deliberate exaggeration. This is not an objective truth or universal belief, just a very common one that I find enjoyable as heck.

Fanart from Chapter 17 of my Satine centric Obitine fic “Dawn of the Empire” which follows Satine after she survives the events of ‘The Lawless’ and ‘Revenge of the Sith.’

Satine’s armour design is the one Dave Filoni originally designed for Satine back before TWC was cancelled, forcing him to kill her off early. (:

Korkie’s armour is supposed to have belonged to his grandfather, Adonai Kryze

[notaghost3]

Obitine Headcanons no one asked for

Satine has straight hair. Like...chronically straight hair. Won't hold a curl to save her life, but can sometimes appear to be wavy when taken out of a tight updo. She lives for those moments.

Korkie wasn't conceived on the Year on the Run. (it takes a bit of canon manipulation but what else is fanfic for?) Instead, he was conceived shortly after Qui-Gon passed sometime during the early grieving process for Obi-Wan before he jumped head into the waters of training Anakin. (fic is currently IN PROGRESS because I have a lot of emotions tied up to this headcanon of mine hehehe)

Obi-Wan didn't tell Satine that he was still alive post Rako arch, she found out through the holonet because DRAMA *tears*

They absolutely had to pretend to be married at SOME point in time during their Year on the Run, because I NEED that and they would be RADIATING newlywed energy (or old married couple energy lolololol)

Satine never mentioned Bo to Obi-Wan because she was 100% under the impression that her sister was dead before he came into the scene.

Obi-Wan doodles his name as the Duke of Mandalore when he gets lonely and daydreamish (which rarely occurs once Anakin enters the scene lol)

Obi-Wan 100% made many visits to Mandalore inbetween him rekindling his "friendship" with Satine and Ahsoka's Korkie arch. I mean Korkie even says that off-world weapons were banned after the last time he visited...somebody write THAT visit lololol

Obi-Wan and Korkie have met...and Satine was torn between chewing her fingernails off in worry and banging her head against the wall for how oblivious the two are for not even seeing a very obvious likeness between themselves.

Windu ships them. It's one of the very few things Anakin and him can set aside their differences for to gossip about.

[duchess-of-mandalore]

All you uncultured swine saying Korkie was never intended to be Obi-Wan’s son

Meanwhile, the guy who created a ginger-haired Mandalorian boy who is obsessed with the Jedi and strokes his beardless chin thrice in one episode:

When asked directly about Korkie’s parentage and not mentioning any other Kryze family siblings:

Dave Filoni: “Korkie is not [Bo-Katan’s] son. I think we postulated about that at the time, but no. … I probably shouldn’t tell you about the joke I have about Korkie[’s parentage] because it would set the fanworld ablaze.”

Sam Witwer: *excitedly freaking out* “I know this! I know this one!”

Pablo Hidalgo: “There was a lengthy email chain between Dave, myself, and some other people on the show trying to map out the family tree and Dave took it in a path that none of us expected. We thought, no … let’s not address that at the moment.”

Korkie's first day at school and Satine is so proud of her son nephew💙

[fellthemarvelous]

You will never be able to convince me that Korkie Kryze isn't the child of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Satine Kryze!!!!

[emeraldvsociety]

One of my works for Satine Kryze Week Day 2 - Storage

Summary:

Duchess Satine governs a system.

She's unable to parent her sister.

[bart1607]

Who's my family?

Hello there! 🤗 I hope, you'll enjoy this fic! ❤️

Summary:

Satine knew that one day this moment would finally came, when Korkie will ask her about his origins and ancestors. However, she can't tell him the truth, that he is the result of her romance with Obi-Wan. Or Korkie feels bad, because all of his classmates have parents, while he has only "auntie" Satine and is orphan. At least that's what he thinks.

Warnings: Angst... but with comfort, don't worry 😉😀

I've just finished reading SSTW and MTB (for the 3rd time) from start to finish (as well as every other SSTW AU work you've ever posted). There is just something about your work, it is so captivating, feels so comforting to read (even when the characters are in the most stressful of situations), and I always fall madly in love with the family again and can't stop thinking about them!

I always end of thinking about Lily - one of my fav characters. Have you thought more about her story at the end of MTB (I'm sure you have) - but anything more concrete you can share? What does she end up doing for work? Does she live on Mandalore (in her own place or the palace)? Any relationships?

And any Lily stories you can share from her growing up that may not have made it in to SSTW? Any crazy adventures that landed her in trouble (and gave her parents and Tol'ket a few extra grey hairs)?

Thank you so every much for all the fun reading and comfort you have endlessly supplied me!

Thank you so much for your kind words. This family means a lot to me, and it's always so nice to hear how much they mean to others, too. Also, I love talking about them, especially Lily.

I do have a fairly concrete idea on what Lily's life looks like post MTB, and I'm happy to share!

I think Lily wanders a little bit directly after MTB, especially once everyone has had their babies. She feels a little aimless and weird because she wants to be close, but she also is feeling compelled to go back to her work. She feels it's her calling.

It isn't until she is introduced to a benefactor, who has heard of her work rescuing kids from the underbelly of the galaxy, that she finally starts to see a path that allows her to keep up her work but be closer and more accessible to her family. With the help of this benefactor (I don't have a lot of details here, yet), her brothers, Ahsoka, Rex, she ends up building a branch of the RHI that saves kids and helps protect families from retaliation from the criminals who steal the kids. I see her having a home on Mandalore, but I feel like she travels a lot.

Her personal life is always a bit of a bone of contention with her mother, as Lily finds it hard to settle with a single person. And even sometimes uses her dating life as a way to prank her family, especially her mother. Satine wants Lily to feel cherished. Lily doesn't feel the need. She's happy with who she is and her role in her family and one day, eventually, Satine will get it.

I am working on baby Lily's kyber crystal gathering fic, FINALLY, and I'm excited to get it out there because it's going to be a romp. Probably pretty emotional, if I do my job right!

Again, thanks so much for the ask. I love love love talking to people about writing and stories and these characters (canon or not). Never hesitate to ask if something's on your mind.

[weekofobitine] "Peace" | Preview #1

Because if I keep debating this, I might not post it at all. Here's a peek for @weekofobitine:

And in a fleeting moment of peace in between contractions, his hand would reach for the swell of her bare belly, round all over, soft, and warm to the touch. He would seek out the signs of life that had formed within, like the steady thumping of a heartbeat, and then another, hers, thundering in the background. And as her belly would tighten underneath his touch, indicating that a contraction was nearing, he would know that the moment of peace had come to an end yet again. The little mysterious world that resided within her fascinated the Jedi padawan. She fascinated him. He waited by her side as she labored and felt in awe of her, how she had spent her pregnancy rebuilding Mandalore while simultaneously growing life within her womb. It seemed typical of her, for if she did anything easily, it was nothing at all. The newly constructed dome over Sundari seemed like a grander scale model of her expectant abdomen, how it grew in a similar way, curved and wide, to protect a world that she felt so fiercely protective over. And inside her womb, another world existed where their child formed so perfectly in peace that only a mother’s form could provide.

(Updated on 9/17: Here's the actual fic on AO3 now that it's Obitine Week!)

Week of Obitine

@weekofobitine

Day Seven: Jedi, Devotion, and Garden

“Can you tell me about the jedi who saved you?” Little Adonai begged, giving his mother big puppy dog eyes. Satine smiled. This was her son’s favorite bedtime story.

“They were brave and courageous men. Their names were Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. They swooped in to save me when my Protectors failed. We were on the run for a whole year, dodging the bad guys. They protected me when no one else could. Finally the war was one. We had won, but my father did not survive, nor did my mother. You were named after him, adka. So I became the new ruler of Mandalor, I became the Duchess. I did not want to be Mand’alor. Mandalor needed peace. War and conflict tore us apart. We needed a new kind of ruler. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon helped me establish a new way of life for our people. And so we have begun to become whole again.”

“I want to be a Jedi like them, Momma!” The little boy exclaimed as he often did after being told this story.

“I know you do Korkie. I know you do.”

@satineweek Day 2: “MOTHER”

Looks like lil Korkie fell asleep on his Mother’s Auntie’s lap after a long day at school

[headedtobandomeer]

Trans!Satine and dualsex!Obi-wan who are the parents of Korkie. But no one acknowledges it because Obi-Wan carried him. The decision as to where their son should be raised was a difficult one, but ultimately Obi-Wan decided to leave the boy with his mother. Satine, of course was a public figure and she had not been pregnant. They'd been able to hide Obi-Wan's pregnancy beneath his Jedi robes and by keeping him in the background. Satine had been in the foreground. No signs of pregnancy ever. It would be impossible to pass a child off as her own without outing Obi-Wan as the one who birthed the child. And would mandalorians after so much strife accept the child of a Jedi? It wasn't a risk they were willing to take so he became a nephew, not a son.

WIP: Obi-Wan raising Luke

The ambient noise of the palace didn't penetrate this deeply underground.  Obi-wan had a hazy memory of Satine making a rough sketch of traditional Mandalorian homes, and the center chamber that would have been the site of a clan's last stand.  New Mandalorian architecture had eschewed this sort of feature.  Instead, they designed buildings that were the complete opposite of this round and windowless room.  Luke had fallen asleep almost as soon as their dinner plates had been cleared away, his head pillowed on Obi-wan's thigh.  Obi-wan didn't blame him.  He had struggled a little with acclimating to the press of so many people around them.  It seemed to overwhelm the boy at times.  But here, in the karyai, the thick walls muffled the presence of others.  The tension knotting Luke's shoulders eased almost from the moment Korkie closed the door behind them. 

Bo-Katan watched him stroke Luke's hair for a moment, then murmured, 'You could stay here, you know.'  She sipped her shig, without taking her eyes off him.  

Obi-wan picked up his own shig, inhaling the citrus-infused steam.  Dozens of past memories assaulted him, but he managed to sip it without betraying his inner turmoil by so much as a trembling hand.  'To what purpose?' he asked.  'Sell the boy and me to the Empire in order to take their attention away from you and your attempts to undermine and overthrow Gar Saxon?'

Bo-Katan snorted.  'Cynical, much?'  She shook her head.  'No.  You would become a member of clan Kryze.'  She looked down at her interlaced hands.  'It’s what she would want.'

Obi-wan blinked the sudden sting from his eyes.  'I thank you,' he replied in a hoarse voice, 'but I wouldn't want to bring the Empire down on your heads by hiding here.'  The corner of his mouth quirked up.  'I'm still wanted, you know.'

'Obi-wan Kenobi, maybe, but not Ben Kryze,' Korkie said.

Obi-wan's wry grin turned into a rueful smile.  'Yes, but I still have Obi-wan Kenobi's face.'

Korkie shared a pleading look with his aunt.  She sat back with a sigh and gave him a single reluctant nod.  'You can wear my great-great-grandfather's armor.  It belonged to my mother’s maternal grandfather.  You can reforge it.  Make it yours.  You would never have to remove your helmet outside the palace, should you choose.'  

His naked longing was almost too much to bear.  Obi-wan allowed himself a brief moment to consider it. He could come to know his son, a joyous reminder of Satine. Proof that she had once walked on this earth.  He could give Luke a family.  He would grow surrounded by love and affection.  He knew beyond all certainty that, should the occasion arise, Korkie would protect Luke. It was part of the Mandalorian Creed.  But Obi-wan had witnessed the lengths the Empire would go to in order to find him.   And if they found him, they would find Luke.  He couldn’t in good conscience subject Mandalore to the Empire’s tender mercies. They had suffered enough as it was.  'This is an extraordinarily generous offer.  If I only had to think of myself, I would accept it immediately.  As it is…'  He tilted his head toward Luke.

'You think we wouldn't care for your son as well?' Bo-Katan scoffed.  'He's a foundling.  No foundling ever goes neglected on Mandalore.'  A smirk twisted her mouth.  'This is the way.'

'It isn't that.'  Obi-wan tucked the edge of the blanket around Luke's shoulders.  'He may not be my biological son, but we do share a similar trait.'

'Jetii?' Korkie asked.

Obi-wan nodded  'Yes.  He will be.'

Bo-Katan snorted louder.  'You should let it die.  What has it done but brought anyone a lifetime of pain?'

'Auntie!' Korkie hissed.

'Satine and I…'  Obi-wan pinched the bridge of his nose.  'We…'  He inhaled, and found a spot on the ceiling on which to focus until his emotions were once more under his control.  'We understood the consequences of our choices.'  He met Bo-Katan's disconcertingly direct gaze.  'Even until the very end.'  He  brushed a lock of Luke’s hair away from his forehead.  ‘Just as I’m fully aware of the consequences of this life. I won’t put anyone else in danger.’

The Duchess herself has always been on board with Rey Kenobi!
