The Hunt Begins

Since it's the Obimaul Creation Event month I figured I'd dust off my writing skills and try a little fic. I took a few grains of Stars, a dash of Journey, and a scruff of Animal for this prompt. And thanks to Steff for the reassurances.

Bee Kenobi, the best asset of the Exploracorp, shoved open the door to Master Levyn’s office, scowling.

“You can’t make me take this assignment.” He dropped into the chair across from Levyn’s desk, shoving one foot against the edge to tilt his chair back. “I have seniority, now.”

The stout lasat behind the desk flicked an ear. “So you do, Pilot Kenobi.” His voice was a deep rumble. “However, as you so often like to remind us, you’re one of our best assets and as such, the Order has need of your services.”

Bee rolled his eyes, reaching up to swipe a hand over his hair; metallic red, this month. Three years later and he still couldn’t break the nervous habit of making sure his Padawan braid was gone.

“The Order can shove it,” he said. “They’re just kissing ass to the Senate, anyway, and I’m not babysitting some snotty little warlord who had a vision of some lost tribe of Mandalorians and wants to go find them.”

“I’m not Mand’alor yet,” said a silky voice behind him. “And despite what you may think of my people, I do know how to wipe my nose.”

Bee startled, overbalancing his chair. His arms flailed before a gentle force caught the back, tipping the chair back upright. Bee was out and turning as Levyn failed to smother a laugh.

His armor was mostly black with a black fur ruff, which might be why Bee failed to notice him upon entering. His face, however, was uncovered and hard to miss.

Bee had seen one other Nightbrother during his apprenticeship. One of the senior pilots had scooped up a young couple fleeing Dathomir and hidden them away on one of Exploracorp’s designated Safe Worlds. That one had neon yellow skin with dark orange markings. The one regarding him now was dark red and black, almost matching his armor.

“Uh.” Words failed him. The Force around the Mandalorian almost glowed; mostly with Light, but with lots of sharp edges. His lagging brain realized that the Mando had also used the Force to stop his chair from tipping over.

Levyn chuckled. “That’ll teach you to pay more attention to your surroundings, pup.”

Bee felt heat rush to his face. “Sorry,” he managed. “Sorry, I…”

Gold eyes regarded him, unblinking. His heart was in his throat, fluttering wildly. Couldn’t be adrenaline. And despite the Mando’s appearance, there was no sense of threat from him.

“Senior Pilot Obi-Wan Kenobi.” Levyn’s rumbly voice oozed amusement. “Please meet Al’verde Maul Mereel, of Clan Mereel, adopted son of Mand’alor Jaster.”

“Oh.” His heart suddenly switched directions, plummeting to his toes.He bowed deep, hoping to make up for his mistake, and came up smiling. “Hello there.”

“The best your Explorers has to offer?” A faint smile curved Maul’s lips.

“Oh, well, I don’t like to brag…” Bee swiped a hand over his hair again, ignoring the loud snort behind him. “So what’s this about a missing tribe?”

The story turned out to be far more interesting than Bee had anticipated. Maul’s “visions” seemed to be a true sending of the Force. Maul himself had been doubtful, since they weren’t common for him and because as far as he knew there were no Mandalorian colonies beyond known space.

Jaster, however, had dug through the history archives and located scattered accounts of a Mandalorian expedition made of several clans who’d grown tired of all the fighting and decided to strike out and find a new world to settle. That had been nearly 4000 years ago and no one had heard from them since. They’d been presumed lost until Maul began dreaming of them.

It was a fascinating tale, and Al’verde Maul’s telling of it was passionate and enticing. Bee found himself leaning closer to the Mando several times, catching the occasional whiff of warm leather, armor oil, and something he couldn’t identify.

“Since it was my vision, Jaster insisted I should be the one to go looking,” Maul said, a pinch forming between his brows. “And if we were traveling along known routes, I’d be given a seasoned squad for the hunt. Heading into unknown space, however, requires a different skillset.”

He shrugged, almost dislodging his fur ruff, which opened its eyes and glared at Bee. A cat. It was some kind of feline, alive, draped around Maul’s neck.

“I, yes,” Bee said, dragging his attention back to Maul, who was also watching him. “You said you have clues? I’m good with those. We should be able to trace, uh, something, I’m sure, although don’t get your hopes up too high.”

“With a Jedi? Never.” Maul’s teeth flashed a brief grin.

“Not a Jedi,” Bee corrected. “I wasn’t good enough for them. Too hotheaded, they said.” He grinned and was rewarded with a chuckle from Maul.

“Their loss, then.” Maul held out his hand.

Bee moved to accept it, only for Maul to catch his forearm instead. Feeling a bit awkward, he returned the gesture, noting the slight tingle that went up his arm at the skin-to-skin contact.

“I need to check in with Jaster and see about feeding Chekar,” Maul said, reaching up to scritch the cat’s head. “And I’m sure Master Levyn has a great deal of information to impart on you.”

There was something almost threatening about the way he said that, but Bee’s witty retort was wasted on the door closing with a swish. He glanced at Levyn, who was indeed looking a bit predatory.

Bee groaned. It was going to be a long, long night. But at least his next mission seemed promising. Far more Political than he liked, but Maul might just be worth it. He had a good feeling about that.

Announcing the Obimaul Creation Event of 2022

Do you love Obi-Wan and Maul as characters and have a particular fondness for all the ways these characters can interact? Well, let me continue my best impression of a shady used cars salesperson as I tell you about the opportunity you have to show that love!

Namely, the Obimaul Creation Event, a month-long event for creators to craft a transformative work that shows their appreciation for the obimaul relationship!  A couple of us obimaul fans put this event together after seeing that these two did not seem to have their own “ship week” or similar event. We will officially be holding this event throughout March of 2022, and we are open to creators of all kinds! Here are the rules of the 2022 Obimaul Creation Event: 

Platonic obimaul is 100 percent welcome! We just want the focus to be on their relationship to each other, however that may be perceived.

Poly ships are also welcome! However, the main focus should still be obimaul and please tag it as a poly ship in case not everyone is into it. 

All transformative works are welcome, from detailed headcanons, fanart, fanfic, gifsets, moodboards, playlists, photos of cosplay, exquisitely crafted joke posts, etc. If you put any effort into making it, it counts! 

All gender headcanons of the two are welcomed. 

Do as many or as few prompts as you’d like. You can combine several into one, whatever suits you. If you have an idea for obimaul that doesn't follow any of the prompts, please feel free to submit it anyway! The prompts are here to HELP you, not LIMIT you. 

NSFW is ok. Just please mark it as such for those who wish to avoid it. 

No terfs, racists, homophobes allowed. 

Again, have fun!

Instead of a numbered day structure with prompts, we have a prompt bank for creators to choose from! Do them whenever you please!  Prompts are under the read more and are all SFW. While this event is officially for March, we understand life gets hectic so please submit whenever you wish to! We also ask participants use #obimaulevent2022 as a way for us to more easily keep track of event submissions! Feel free to also let us know if you post your work on ao3, as we will have a collection over there for fanworks.

We also have a discord for the event! Feel free to reply to this post or PM us for an invitation! Let us know if you have any further questions!

Just to answer one quick question we've already gotten, but we do not require people to officially sign up for this event. All we ask is that submissions on tumblr be tagged with #obimaulevent2022. It would probably also be a good idea to include an @ with our blog name, just to be REALLY sure we see it.

If you're posting your work elsewhere, feel free to shoot us an ask or a PM letting us know where we can find it. As mentioned in the rules post, we'll have a collection on ao3 for any works posted there.
