Ficlet and card under the cut!

The sun beat down on the top of his head as he held out the lightsaber with a crooked grin, “You might be needing this.”

Obi-Wan laughed, eyes crinkling, and reached down from his mount to take his weapon. “You might be right. Let’s clean up and get this war over with, Cody. I’ll see you on the other side!”

He watched the general spur on his varactyl, breathing in the dust in its wake. He put his helmet back on, happy for the air filter keeping any further dust out of his mouth and nose, happy that Grievous was dead and that the fighting would soon be over, happy that he’d soon have the chance of an after-the-war with Obi-Wan.

He answered his com without a second thought, eyes flicking briefly away from the general to the holo of a hooded figure. They spoke, an odd weight in their voice bearing down on him, “Commander Cody, the time has come. Execute Order 66!”

He felt his body turn, heard his voice ordering “Blast him!”, the din of the cannon clamoring in his ears as he watched it impact the rock, sending the varactyl and its rider tumbling into the sinkhole, down, down, down—

Cody shot upright, gasping for air, a wordless shout caught in his throat. He could taste the acrid smoke of blaster fire and blasted rock and hot dust, could hear shouts and explosions ringing in his ears. He swung his legs over the side of the bed, feet touching the rug, and tried to control his breathing. There was no glaring sun overhead, no explosions, and Obi-Wan—Obi-Wan was alive and safe and not asleep, Cody realized, looking over his shoulder at his partner.

“Another nightmare?” Obi-Wan asked, voice rough with sleep, pushing himself up.

Cody nodded wordlessly, wanting to tell Obi-Wan he was fine, he should go back to sleep but his tongue felt thick and unwieldy in his mouth. He watched Obi-Wan reach for a jug of water and pour some into one of their earthenware cups, holding it out to Cody.

“Thanks,” Cody mumbled, sipping slowly at the cold water. An arm wrapped around his middle and Obi-Wan rested his chin on his shoulder, his thumb rubbing along the bottom of Cody’s ribs.

“Same one as yesterday?”

“Yeah,” Cody rasped. “I ordered—”

Obi-Wan shushed him quietly, shaking his head. “None of it was your fault, darling. I’m alive, aren’t I?” he asked, raising an eyebrow in challenge. Then he sighed. “I’m alright, Cody. We’re alright.” He glanced out of the window into the dark Tatooine night. “Do you want to get up or try to sleep again?”

Cody grimaced. Dawn was hours away yet. “Let’s try to get more sleep,” he decided, pulling off his sweat-soaked shirt. He balled it up and patted himself dry with it before tossing it in the hamper and lying back down, Obi-Wan pulling him flush against his chest.

“We’re alright,” he whispered, letting himself sink into Obi-Wan’s embrace, staring into the dark until he finally drifted off again.

#

The next night wasn’t much better, nor the night after that.

Some nights were worse than others, Cody knew that. It wasn’t that he generally had trouble sleeping—or Obi-Wan, either, for that matter—but there were times that were harder on both of them, bringing back memories unbidden and causing them restless nights.

And the anniversary of Utapau as well as the week after was difficult for both of them.

“I think,” Obi-Wan said a few evenings later, looking almost as exhausted as he had toward the end of the war, “maybe we should both consider a sleeping aid tonight.” He set a small vial of pills on the table. They didn’t use the sleeping pills often but in this case Cody had to agree. He just wanted to sleep again without waking up in cold sweat and the faint flavor of bile in his mouth.

“Good idea.”

They each took a pill and slid under the heavy blankets. The pills worked fast; Obi-Wan pressed close behind him, his nose buried in Cody’s hair, the arm thrown over Cody’s waist, a comfortable, grounding weight, were the last things he was aware of before sleep overcame him, blessedly dreamless and undisturbed.

I was walking out of the Walmart today, and a car passed me, and I got this incredibly vivid impression. It wasn't really in words, but if I had to put it into words, the two key points would be

a). I needed to watch that car and

b). That I needed to be careful, because the driver of the car was a massive bitch.

It kind of took me by surprise, because I really had no reason to be beefing with that car, and I also hadn't really had an impression like that since I was religious, which was in my teen years. Right? It'd been a decade since I had a little voice whisper in my ear, and I'd basically written it off as nonsense.

Anyway, I watched the car, because The Spirits or whatever were very insistent that I did. Car drove fine, went into the parking spot, inched forward, and right when it should've just stopped, the driver gunned it for some reason and it ran into the curb and cracked its bumper.

So, the driver got out, and she went to the front of the car to check that yes, she had cracked her bumper, and then she turned to look at me. The parking lot wasn't empty, but we were the only two people standing in that row, and I'd probably been staring at her for tenish seconds now.

She demanded very angrily to know why I hadn't warned her of the curb. And I could have said I didn't know you were about to gun it or is it my job to help every stranger park, or even could you have even heard me, inside your car?

And all of those would have been fine, but I was really, really busy digesting that I had somehow communed with Mormon Jesus again for the first time in fifteen years, and that the communion had mostly been there to let me watch someone park badly (?), so what I responded with was:

"Because it was foretold."

And I can't tell which would be funnier, if she went silent because there's not much to be said to that, or if she went silent because in Utah, she might actually believe me, but we parted ways without more words.

I'm still kind of digesting this myself, actually.

I love how mqf's oficial description is something like: a good heart who wants to help others but then you read the novel and his reaction to lqg trapping ten infected men who are crying in panic is "great now I can start to work in my experiments with decomposed people to find a cure" and gets out a lot of needles, which makes the man cry even harder.

Even if we only get bits of the other Cang Qiong sect leader's we can reach the conclusion that no one there is normal, sqq is just biased.
