#and then there is Cody and then there is Satine respectively

[fanfic-obsessed]

We Want That one

This is a Satine/Cody/Obi Wan of a flavor that I have not seen before and hope to see more of. It takes a bit there but I think it will be worth the wait. 

At the end of the mission to Mandalore, Obi Wan decides to stay with Satine and leave the Jedi Order. Now it is important to note this is done with Qui Gon’s full and loving support.  In this one Qui Gon is not a raging asshole with many issues and trauma (Melida/Daan happened and after it did both Qui Gon and Obi Wan were required to go to therapy-both separately and together- before they were allowed to go on mission together again). Also it is important to note that in this one ‘Will of the Force’ is not an excuse Qui gon uses to do whatever the hell he wants. The Force does actually have OPINIONS that it will share with specific Jedi (There is no tie to power, abilities, position, or previous messages for who will get a specific message. There is a tie, though not complete because the Force has other measures that mortals cannot comprehend, between who is making the decision the Force has an opinion on and which Jedi gets the message).  The Force did let both Obi Wans and Qui Gon know that it fully supported Obi Wan leaving the Jedi to be with Satine. 

So Obi Wan returns to the temple to formally leave the Order, get comm codes for people he wants to stay in touch with, and his remaining things from his room.  He is allowed to keep his lightsaber and encouraged to keep his login to the Temple Archives so he could keep learning.  Six months after he returns to Mandalore, he and Satine marry with his Jedi friends and family in attendance. A year after that their son Korkie is born. He and Satine take up the mantle of Duke and Duchess and balance each other well.  Though Satine remains a pacifist, she does not begrudge her husband not being one and the addition of Obi Wan lessens the power of some of her more odious advisers. At some point within the first few years Death Watch attacks and through a series of strange and unfortunate (for Death Watch) both Satine and Obi Wan simultaneously defeat Pre Vizsla and win the Darksaber. They both take on the title of Mandalore jointly and unite the clans. The stabilization of Mandalore goes largely unnoticed by the republic (Including Sidiuous and Plagieus, they both just kind of assumed that everything was going as planned)

Now we come to the Naboo mission, a few years down the line. There is little change to the start, save for the places where we are missing Obi Wan. Qui Gon still ends up, with Padme, on Tatooine and helps free Anakin. The High Council is still leery of Anakin and accepting him. Qui Gon is still adamant that this child must be trained. Padme is still tricked into calling for a vote of no confidence. There does come a change when Qui Gon meets up with Padme again as they conspire to return to Naboo. Qui Gon gets an idea and puts in a call to someone he is sure Padme should talk to immediately. When the call connects, greet the pair on the other end as Duke and Duchess Mand’alor.  The man, Obi Wan, sighs deeply and turns to Padme, and in the driest tone she had ever heard goes, ‘I apologize for Qui Gon. He thinks he’s funny and no one has ever been able to disabuse him of that notion. We can be either called Mand’alor, or duke/duchess, you do not need to call us both’. 

Qui Gon explains what is going on with Naboo and Satine immediately goes to Padme, ‘Oh, you poor thing, we will get you some humanitarian aid immediately, right dear?’  to which Obi Wan agrees. 

Something about the way Qui Gon is now looking amused and mischievous and the way that Satine had said that left Padme, for all that she was a bit on the naive side when it came to galaxy politics (As evidenced by the fact that she did not realize slavery did exist until she faced it directly and that she did really believe that doing what was right drove the Galactic senate), with the belief that there was something more going.

They leave Coruscant and are met, just before reaching Naboo’s system, by a ship full of Mandalorians led by Obi Wan.  He apologizes that Satine could not be there as well, but they tried not to be off planet at the same time, just in case, and Obi Wan was better for this.  

Also as soon as Obi Wan saw Anakin, he felt the immediate and nearly irresistible urge to adopt him (Both the Manda AND the Force had opinions here), only the knowledge that he did not know whose child it was and the fact that Satine would kill him for adopting without her stopped him.  Obi Wan did take a moment to ask Qui Gon why there was a small child going into a warzone. 

Eventually they got down to business. Obi Wan explained that, since Mandalore was not part of the Republic, they could not send an army to help with the Trade Federation’s illegal block (particularly since, officially, no one knew about it).  However, if their old friend Qui Gon (Qui Gon good naturedly protested the ‘Old’. In the same dry tone as earlier, Obi Wan said that they all knew that Qui Gon had been there at the start of the Republic (i.e 25,000 years old), there was no need to lie. Then Obi Wan winked at Anakin, making the boy giggle) happened to mention that Naboo was experiencing a crisis and Mandalore chose to send humanitarian aid, well that was not declaring war on a Republic entity. Of course they would also have to send a security force with their aid workers (Never mind that each aid worker is also a commando) there might be pirates or other dangers along the way.  

Blockaded though Naboo may be, the blockade was not meant to hold up to a platoon of Mandalorians (sorry a group of Mandalorian aid workers with their security escort). They get to the surface, though liberation would take more firepower than they had immediate access to (particularly since they people were dying, thus a time crunch) so Padme negotiates with the Gungans to take back their planet. By the way, as soon as the Mandalorians and the Gungan warrior meet they get along like a house on fire (to the concern of more than a few politicians later). Our core group heads to the Theed palace to end things, while the Mandalorians and the Gungan begin the liberation of the camps (Made easier by the fact that the Naboo had not just been waiting to be rescued, many had been working from within the camps to make things as difficult for their occupiers as possible. At least two of the camps, upon hearing that liberation was incoming, promptly rushed their guards and were in the process of tearing the droids apart when the Gungan/Mando liberation team arrived. It may or may not have done more for Gungan/Naboo relations than anything Padme did).

Obi Wan does go with Qui Gon to battle the Sith. He goes armored, made specifically so that he can fight like a Jedi in it. He also goes armed with the Darksaber and a slugthrower (Obi Wan did indeed bring a gun to a lightsaber fight). While there is a little fighting, long before they reach the power reactor, Obi Wan drops back far enough that he is able to shoot Maul in the knee and they capture the Sith.  Anakin does end up taking out the shield generator (though the ship he ‘accidentally’ acquired was from the Mandalorian ship- where he had been told to stay for the battle; most of the mandos were a little alarmed at the 9 year old in the space battle but making heart eyes at the fact that the was able to hotwire one of their ships to do it).

After the battle Obi Wan calls his wife and introduces her to Anakin, Satine promptly asks ‘when are you bringing our new son home so we can say the adoption vow?’. 

The High council arrive, more willing to admit Anakin (though still reluctant) to find that it is a moot point because Anakin, with Qui Gon blessing (as the Force only said that Anakin needed to be Jedi trained, Obi Wan can do that) was going to be adopted by Obi wan and Satine. Everyone is in agreement that this is actually the best solution (I want it clear that this is not a slight against the Jedi Order, their rules and restrictions are there for a reason and they would have taken Anakin in, but they could all sense that he was ambivalent about it). Everyone parts ways, with a light reminder to Obi Wan Jocasta Nu is waiting semi impatiently to read his most recent paper comparing Jedi historical Force traditions and Mandalorian historical Manda sects (The Manda and the Force both are and are not the same thing). 

As soon as Anakin is adopted, Mandalore has an excuse to go after the Hutts (Frankly some of the more aggressive Mandos were getting restless). Due to the way Mandalorian adoption works, adopting a child effectively adds all of childs relatives (that the kid wants to claim) as the adopters relative as well (essentially adopting Anakin makes Shmi family). Family trees get very complicated on Mandalore very quickly (also all new ways to define relationships). 

There are some changes we should acknowledge before going any further. Obviously Anakin growing up as the oldest son of the leaders of Mandalore has some difference (Korkie-Then aged 5- was ecstatic, he had specifically been asking for an older brother for two years), for all that Obi Wan is also training him in the ways of the force and the Manda. Also Shimi is living with them now. 

There are some political ramifications that come from what could, in the loosest sense, be the Mandalorian invasion of Naboo (as some politicians privately call it) and the fact that the Gungan cities become a prime vacation spot for Mandalorian warriors. It never really goes anywhere, since doing so would mean acknowledging that the Trade Federation also invaded Naboo. 

Padme wanted Naboo to cut ties with the Republic, she was fairly disgusted with the interaction with the senate which was highlighted by how differently the interaction with Mandalor went. This was never going to be allowed to happen (Palpatine’s status as Chancellor depends on Naboo being part of the Republic). This combined with Palpatine's (and other politicians) reactions to the Mandalorians that saved her planet, the continuing mistreatment of the Gungans by some (but much less) Naboo humans, and an unfortunate accident that left Padme as one of the sole survivors of her family mean that Padme does not become a senator. Instead when her term is up she, many of her handmaidens, and the other survivors of her family all move to Mandalore where they maintain a close relationship with the ruling family. 

Padme and Anakin start dating when Anakin is 20. Their relationship is very much different than it was in Canon. For one, they had been friends for years before getting together. They were also not each other’s firsts (both having had romantic/sexual relationships with others prior to getting together). They are also not trying to squeeze too much into too little time as they try to hide from their friends and family, or justify to themselves their quick marriage. Frankly the lack of a war or a secret massacre putting strain on their relationship also helped. 

Satine, Obi Wan, and Shmi never put any restrictions on how long they should be together before getting married, nor could they but it is important that they did not even try. They did highly recommend that, before any action that could be legally binding or have long lasting consequences (like kids) that the pair take at least one trip to the outer rim in a two person ship (the equivalent of taking a road trip together). 

Anakin and Padme get married when Anakin is 22. 

The Clone Wars break out a year later, in much the same way as Canon though obviously with different people in place of Obi Wan, Anakin, and Padme (Everything about the Clone Wars and the Clones is pushed back by four years. The setback is mostly because Maul was captured instead of bisected. Palpatine needed to be more careful for the first few years to make sure his cover was not blown). Though Count Dooku is the leader of the Separatists, he is never revealed to be a Sith.

Mandalore remains largely neutral, though they register an official complaint (that absolutely everyone involved knew would go nowhere) that Jango Fett’s, a Mandalorian, progeny were being effectively enslaved in the GAR. The Republic is able to produce paperwork signed by the late Jango Fett where Fett relinquishes any claim to any clones created using his DNA with the exception of a single unaltered clone (Boba), thus denying the clones automatic Mandalorian citizenship.  Privately Obi Wan contacts the Jedi and tells them that any GAR Clone that wishes to not be fighting for the republic will be welcome on Mandalore, where they can get assistance setting up and where being armored (and thus hiding the most recognizable face in the galaxy) would be perfectly acceptable.  The Jedi do find a way to start funneling clones that want to desert toward Mandalore. Oddly enough it actually decreases the amount of clones that want to leave, there was something about just having the option that made the clones feel like they could stay to protect people, instead of being effectively enslaved to the Republic (and it is indisputably true that innocents are being harmed by the CIS). 

Mandalore does send ‘humanitarian aid’ and their security escorts to any planet that wishes for help. Ryloth annexes itself to Mandalore after the fifth time the Mandalorains were instrumental in repelling yet another CIS invasion before the GAR could arrive (The Twilek of Ryloth do not begrudge the actual soldiers of the GAR. They do understand that it is a big galaxy, they can only protect so many places at once, and the various battalions do not actually get to choose where they are being sent. However they do blame the Politicians of the Republic for the war going on).

Somewhere in the first year of the war a group of Mandalorians find Boba Fett. This group, who had long been close to Obi Wan (and had in fact been part of the group going to Naboo), clock the 10 year old with Jango Fett’s face putting himself in dangerous situations and forcibly bring him to Mandalore,  where Korkie goes ‘Free little brother. For Me! Don’t mind if I do!’ and adopts Boba into the family (for the rest of his life Boba will maintain that there is some form of Captive Syndrome happening, but eventually Boba accepts it). 

During the second year of the War several representatives from the Republic are sent to Mandalore, in theory to encourage Mandalore to join with the Republic for the war but several are also secretly on Palpatine’s payroll and looking to destabilize Mandalore or at least their ability to send people to protect other planets (which is making it difficult to extend the war). They are escorted by Qui Gon Jinn’s battalion (an amalgamation of the 212th and the 501st), accompanied by Qui Gon’s new Padawan Ahsoka.  

The representatives were given the biggest run around that was politically feasible (Which is a lot, every member of the ruling family, their closest advisers, and the escorts are all little shits who knows how to pull off ‘we’ll piss you off and you can’t do anything about it’) led by Boba, who still does not like Jedi very much; even he understands what happened was a battle and not an attack so does not want to be around Qui Gon. Qui Gon and his troopers are greeted like family. 

Satine and Obi Wan, as soon as they catch sight of Commander Cody, go ‘Ooooh Pretty’ (Satine had developed a limited Force Sensitivity after carrying Korkie, enough that she could perceive Force presences and both thought Cody’s force presence was the most beautiful they had ever seen). Qui Gon, who had to suffer from a year on the run with Smitten Padawan Obi Wan and smitten Protectee Satine, immediately recognizes the looks in both their eyes and decides he is too old for this shit. He ignores all of it to go play flirt with Shmi (neither he nor Shmi are actually interested in each other and they know it. Qui Gon has not been attracted to anyone other than Tahl and in this one Shmi is very much a Lesbian. They both enjoy flirting and are glad they have someone they can do it with without giving the wrong idea).

I am torn between if I want Padme and Anakin to immediately do the same thing to Rex (‘oooh pretty’), or if I want Anakin to look at Padawan Ahsoka and go ‘oh she’s little sister shaped’ and immediately try to adopt her (Between Anakin and Korkie rampant big brother instincts, the logical consequences of Satine and Obi Wan having a healthy sex life, and the Mandalorian adoption gene- Satine comes by it honestly, no is sure how Obi Wan managed to inherit it- the ruling family of Mandalore has something like 15 children; Anakin is still the oldest). 

The negotiations start and the Duke and Duchess of Mandalore absolutely insist that Commander Cody be there through every step of it. It is in part because they are being little shits toward the representatives(all of whom had been vocal in the belief that the clones were not sentient) and making them flinch whenever one or the other goes ‘And what do you think, Cody, dear?’ It is also so the Duke and Duchess can flirt, heavily and obviously, with Cody the entire time he is there. 

Cody is a bit baffled, since he is not usually the person drawing attention (both for dehumanizing  reasons and Cody is oblivious reasons), but does enjoy the flirting. He also returns the interest in Obi Wan and Satine. Three of the eight representatives began to ask his opinion on their own somewhere around day three. 

At the two week mark, working in tandem, Obi Wan and Satine spring the trap that they had been weaving since the beginning (Cody had been warned what they were doing, and they made sure he was in agreement-which he would have been even if he had not been attracted to the other two, just for the benefits to his brothers). For two weeks they manipulated the representative, and in turn the senate, to get those representatives an unprecedented amount of power in treaty making (Since part of the treaty process, particularly with something like a senate involved, is ratifying the treaty in which the negotiators take it back to the people in charge to agree, there is a vote and all that). Basically anything these representatives agree to is binding, law within the republic, no restrictions on what they can agree to. No one in the senate realized that these eight now had that power, that they had given them that power. Now Obi Wan and Satine led the representative around by the nose until they were agreeing to all sorts of things. Things like the clones of Jango Fett, and clones in general, would be recognized by the sentience of their species (with which comes all kinds of rights and responsibilities on the part of the senate to clones). They also convince the representatives to seal the new treaty with Commander Cody's hand in marriage (incidentally making all of the Fett Clones Mandalorian citizens). It should be noted that the reason these representatives agreed to that was that they, personally, would receive the bulk of the bride price for Cody (the final price was actually higher than the republic bought him for in the first place, Cody was very proud).

In addition Mandalore does not quite join the republic, the agreement is to take control of the GAR to fight for the republic. It is worded in such a way that the Jedi are given a choice (thus they can send the children home), a number stay with their battalions but some are also able to be called back from the field. The GAR naval officers, the natborns, were to be replaced by Mandalorian officers. The few officers that wished to would need to sign up with the Mandalorians (there were a few that wanted to continue serving with the Clones). One of the concessions from the Duke and Duchess was that, though back pay would be handled by the senate, pay for the GAR going forward would come from Mandalore(the reason that the representatives agreed to let Mandalore take over the GAR, they felt quite proud of themselves). Without knowing it this also derails the Orders on the chips, since Palpatine is no longer in the chain of command, no matter what title he does or does not take. 

Three months after the Chancellor’s office stopped being in the loop for the war, the CIS and the Republic sue for peace. Sitting across from each other on a neutral world but publicly broadcasted throughout the galaxy are Count Dooku and Chancellor Palpatine with Mand’alor Obi Wan Kenobi there to mediate. Dooku and Palpatine have too much on each other to reveal that the other is a secret Sith (not without the assurance of victory, which they do not have).  They are forced to play this as if they are both well meaning leaders trying to do what is best for their people, as neither has an army backing them any more (The GAR is now Mandalorian and they have destroyed the droid army). Obi Wan wants to get home to his spouses (Satine was pregnant again, while they would love any and all children equally, Obi Wan was hoping that the little one would be born with Cody’s features).

I cannot emphasize enough that Obi Wan does not know he is sitting with two Sith who, if they thought they could get away with it, would kill him and subjugate the galaxy. He honestly does think that the other two are doing their best (He knows as a leader himself that sometimes a leader will make unpopular or not understandable choices for the betterment of their people-because they had bad information or because of their own prejudices).  

Two Sith are forced to negotiate a peace they do not want because not negotiating (or stalling) would be so obvious as to give them away and if they are exposed now the entire plan is for nothing. 

They are not down and out yet, but it is not far off. Their plans are derailed, and the person who did it never even noticed. 

And I think that is the ending both of them truly deserve.

Star Wars OCs 💫

Astra Jade Cordage 🏹

— Name: Commander Astra Jade

Age: 42

Relationship Status: Single (Taken later on by her Clone husband Captain Rex <3)

Planet Of Origin: Naboo but now lives on Coruscant

Specific Species: Human

Occupation: Pilot

- Works for the Jedi Knights and plenty of otherwise leaders in the outer rim of the space centers.

- Pilot, Commander Jade. She is always flying Jedi, Royals, Council members, Prisoners and etc to places. Astra tends to be on the field for work and or behind a panel on a ship calling orders if she’s told to stay behind. But she’ll always find a way to make her mark!

- Friends with Obi Wan Kenobi since they were younger, kinda like a little sister to Obi Wan. Partners in crime in a way!

- Anakin’s friend and mother figure to him. She is also Padmé good friend and works for her on occasions.

- Astra has had a crush on her friend Obi Wan Kenobi for a few years and I mean who wouldn’t??? I mean, hello?! The man is gorgeous and a very skilled Jedi! However it wasn’t in the cards and Astra believed attachment should be allowed for everyone. She agreed with Master Qui Gon’s idea on attachment very much that she figured out Anakin and Padmé were in love, and she quietly encouraged it. She smirked always seeing them smiling at one another.

- The female pilot moved up in ranks and explored her placement in the center of the Coruscant. One day she was told about the clones themselves and met some of them, they were kind, smart and determined. Two caught her eyes, Rex and Cody. Yes they were similar in factual statements and facial expressions but different in mindset. Cody reminded Astra of Obi Wan in a way a few ways while Rex reminded her of Anakin.

- She fell in love with Captain Rex after they saved each other’s lives and had to go undercover on a mission as spouses to return a few stolen items. Little did they know they would become spouses in real life, breaking a few rules and falling for one another. There are many ideas she loved about her husband, Captain Rex from his sass to his humorous way of telling a story and his loyalty to his crew. But one of the things she loves most of all is that he can be a bit of a bad liar, the type of under circumstances of course.

Sena Morgana 🫐

Full Name: Kira Sena Morgana

Age: 34

Planet Of Origin: Alderaan

Specific Species: Human

Occupation: Ex-Jedi

Relationship Status: Single

- Kira was part of the Jedi for a while. She was gifted with being Force-sensitive, so it was given that she joined in on the world of it all.

- She was skilled.

- Partaking in adventures, teaming up with Ahsoka, Anakin, Obi Wan, Astra and the rest of the gang. It was a rather large group of people.

- She adored it. A lot. The people she met, the ones she saved and relationships she made across the galaxy. Being a rather gentle soul to many.

- Until she was met with the truth of the Jedi. They only carried about themselves and who they can save, not how they can save someone. Love wasn't ever the card for their line of work either, and it hurts

- It started with problems they had with Anakin and Ahsoka teaching abilities, with her having to defend both of there friends. It was a fought battle, she hated.

- Secondly was during a fight on Coruscant, having almost lost Astra in battle and the a lot of other Jedi didn't bat an eye.

- Thankfully she was alright!

- And lastly, when she met a certain rebel on Mandalore, he was an solider in protection of Duchess Satine Kryze. It was handsome, loyal and kind. Her heart fluttered, having not understood what that feeling once was until she realized it was..lust.

- One could say it was love she felt. But Jedi weren't allowed to love, they were never given that chance to do so. The part of made it harder to resist that feeling was, that he liked her too.

- Sadly, he died trying to save The Duchness..

- Sena was tired of fighting, feeling at odds with other people where she almost lost friends and never getting a break to go home. Just be herself..

- So that became to final thing, Sena was willing to take chance and make a change to put down Jedi rode in exchange for simpler set of clothes.

- In result, Sena made a deal with Sentor Organa a friend of her, to work with him and stay with leads. Still being near her friends and help out when needed. To her surprised, he quickly accepted to idea, having missed her and wanting her back home on their planet.

Thanksgiving Dinner with characters from my Star Wars Modern AU.

Tahl and Qui-Gon, bringing sweet potato casserole. Tahl is a librarian and Qui-Gon is a retired pastor.

Padme and Anakin, bringing rolls. Padme is (one) senator of Texas. Anakin is in the Air Force.

Bant and Cody. Obi-Wan served with Cody and introduced him to Bant (his adopted sister). Bant is a pediatric nurse and Cody is a cop. They have two kids, Jack and Dera, who are eleven and thirteen, respectively. They're bringing some nice wine and a gigantic salad.

And of course we have the guests that show up an hour late after neglecting to confirm they would be coming, but they brought weird board games no one's ever heard of and their cute kid, so it's okay.

Who knows what board games they brought, but Bo is a cop, and Din is a middle school security guard.

And we musn't forget the hosts.

Being the hosts, the Kryze-Kenobis have provided most of the food. Ahsoka is a high-school senior, Korkie is a junior, Satine is a court judge, and Obi-Wan is a lawyer.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mand’alor Kenobi (Duke Kryze)

Obi-Wan leaves the Jedi, marries Satine, gets widowed and ends up as Duke Kryze.

Two alternative endings:

1) Jango Fett resurfaces and returns to Mandalore; or

2) After the war, Cody and his brothers receive an offer for repatriation from the Duke.

Obi-Wan leaves the order for Satine—and for Mandalore, ravaged by a civil war that never truly stops.

During his mission to Mandalore, Obi-Wan not only keeps Satine alive but is invaluable in consolidating her power. However, the hostilities never truly cease, the political situation is a powder keg, and at the conclusion of the Jedis’ mission, Satine sees how it’s Obi-Wan who’s holding the tenuous peace together. She asks him to stay and he leaves the order—not only for Satine, but for Mandalore and her people whom he feels the conclusion of their mission leaves hanging.

In the following months, everybody is running ragged trying to keep Mandalore together. Having already proved his worth as a negotiator/mediator, Obi-Wan quickly rises to a lynchpin position in the new government. Despite his background as a Jedi, his actions during the clan wars have earned him the respect of the more traditional warrior clans and he’s seen as a more moderate option to Satine’s extremism. Tl;dr: instead of treating Obi-Wan as arm candy, Satine puts him to work and inadvertently puts a lot of political power in his hands. What can you say? Sizeable and/or politically influential fraction of Mandalore’s population/clans likes Obi-Wan better than Satine—or perhaps, finds Satine more palatable with a warrior partner.

To prevent her fragile and fractious government from splintering further (and to put an end to the talk about republic agents), Satine and Obi-Wan decide to make their relationship official and marry. Half of it is because they truly care for each other, but half of it is to consolidate the political power and marry the separate factions within their government together. They have irreconcilable differences of opinion when it comes to politics, but they both want what’s best for the people and that’s a unified leadership that’s not fighting with itself. So they have screaming matches in private, but pull together in public.

Stuff happens, Death Watch kills Satine (with or without the involvement of the Sith)—and New Mandalorians/Sundari/Mandalore unites behind the widowed Duke Kryze.

SO: That’s either a plot or a setup for the erstwhile Mand’alor Vhett to resurface, with or without an army of clones, a galactic war, the return of the Sith, and perhaps a political marriage that may finally unite Mandalore.

Perhaps:

- Obi-Wan grieves his wife, he truly does. But in the aftermath, he hardly has the time. And in retrospect, he has to wonder if half of the reason why achieving compromise always seemed like an uphill battle wasn’t because he spent half of his time fighting Satine and trying to moderate her extremism to something more palatable to the clans.

- In the aftermath, Obi-Wan may or may not finally succeed in putting down the Kyr’tsad and winning the Darksaber, which may or may not go a long way in convincing the remaining traditionalist and Kyr’tsad clans to get in line.

- Any Sith coming to take a piece of Mandalore or its Duke may find they’ve bitten off more than they can chew.

- Korkie Kryze may or may not be Satine and Obi-Wan’s son. Or maybe he is Satine’s baby nephew—Obi-Wan and Satine may still end up adopting him, depending on who else is left.

- Bo-Katan Kryze may or may not survive Kyr’tsad, but regardless, a Death Watch lieutenant is not going to be accepted by the people. She may get a seat in Obi-Wan’s council to placate Kyr’tsad loyalists, but she has no shot at getting the rule. Tbh, Obi-Wan would absolutely be the type to adopt his late wife’s feral terrorist little sister.

- Obi-Wan ends up adopting a full squad of feral murder children, in a true Mandalorian fashion.

- Jinn may or may not be alive; Anakin may or may not be his apprentice or have taken refuge on Naboo after his death; Obi-Wan may or may not be carrying a grudge towards the Sith for killing the man who raised him. And then killed his wife.

- The idea of marriage is probably actually first put forward by the clans who dislike Satine but find Obi-Wan acceptable. That would be a compromise solution: they’d accept Satine’s rule, but with the moderating influence of Obi-Wan as her husband.

- Actually, wasn’t “Ben” a nickname that Obi-Wan was originally given by Satine? He might then go by “Ben Kryze” after his marriage.

- Mand’alor is the sole ruler → before and during the Clan Wars, Obi-Wan is titled the duke. After he’s unified Mandalore under one sole government, he’s the Mand’alor.

- Timeline fuckery: instead of 15, Obi-Wan and Satine are ~20, early 20s. Young, but not teenagers. Satine may be a few years older.

- Jango may think he’s coming to Mandalore to oust the hu’tuun Duchess’s Jetii widow, only to find said widow to be a) the most mandokarla verd he has ever met, and b) more widely supported than he himself ever was. There’s no ousting the Duke now and if Jango were to kill him, he would only succeed in making him a martyr and uniting Mandalore further in avenging him. Jango… deals with these revelations. Well—he tries.

ALTERNATIVELY: After the war, Marshal Commander Cody and his brothers receive an unexpected offer of repatriation from Duke Kryze of Mandalore, who was tragically widowed during the war.

And perhaps:

- The offer may or may not be unexpected: if the Sith decided to go after Mandalore, there’s no saying what the Mandalorians might have discovered and whether their Mand’alor might have taken a proactive approach to the threat.

- The second dark sabre wielding Jedi Mand’alor might be something of stuff of legends—or nightmares—in the republic space/among the clones.

- Jango Fett might not have wanted the clones, but apparently this Duke Kryze does. If he is to be believed, Fett might have been the vode’s dar’buir, but according to Mandalorian law, there is no such thing as a dar’ad. Whether Jango Fett ever called them his sons or not, the mere fact of consciously partaking in their creation is enough to make them recognised as such in Mandalorian space.

- And so, here in Cody’s hands is an offer of citizenship for all of his vode; colourful pamphlets about various welfare and retraining programs; and apparently, a seat in the Duke’s council for the aliit’alor Vhett.

- Cody is torn between crying from relief (an end to the indeterminate arguments in the senate between citizenship and decommissioning?) and justified suspicion (a no-strings offer of home and sentient rights for all of his brothers? Too good to be true).

- Mandalore’s famous warriors have been decimated first in the clan wars and then in the galaxy wide conflict, which has left Mandalore in a more precarious position than may outwardly seem. The offer is not purely altruistic (Mandalore would be gaining an army of millions), even if Obi-Wan does also see it as justice. To Cody who’s been waiting for the other shoe to drop, this feels like relief. This, he can understand. What’s honestly more confusing is the Duke rushing to explain that acting in defence of Mandalore is something that’s expected from every citizen, not just the vode. Moreover, if someone can not or chooses not to fight, they are not forced to do so, simply expected to do their part in another way.

- And if the clones want to ply their trade as mercenaries? Well, it’s a time honoured profession on Mandalore—of course they may. As it happens, in the aftermath of a galactic war, there’s no end of work for hired guns. This may… upset the struggling republic. Any vode that decide to seek work in republic space keep their buckets tightly on as they may or may not be recognised as sentient, still—and other Mandalorians do so in support. Not all of them may *like* the clones, but treating other mandalorians as lost property? Not cool.

- Culturally, I would absolutely see Mandalorians as the sort of a culture that would not only think that their children are their future, but also that their people are their strength. The republic might see millions of vode as mouths to feed and bodies to house. But Mandalore? They see millions of trained warriors the republic doesn’t seem to want anymore and think “the greatest prize in the galaxy, up for grabs”.

- If Obi-Wan went on the offensive, he could declare that the vode are citizens of Mandalore by birth and the republic better stop treating Mandalorian warriors as expendable slaves or else. He can’t, of course. But it doesn’t stop him from wanting to.

- If Jango Fett dies as in canon, Obi-Wan’s family of adorable murder children might or might not include Boba. If the kids don’t kill each other, Obi-Wan will go down in history as Mand’alor the Unifier. This sort of adopting the offspring of your slain enemies is not ethically unproblematic btw, but on the other hand, I could see how the practice might fit in the Mandalorian culture.

About politics & war:

- Point of contention: Satine wants to exile the traditionalists to Concordia, there to fight each other to extinction in a pointless battle for dominance (canon, what the fuck?). Obi-Wan wants to unite Manda’yaim, not divide it further. This point alone, if he manages it, would win him points over Satine. So: instead of all traditionalists exiled, Obi-Wan manages to wrangle a shaky alliance of New Mandalorians and moderate traditionalists. Not necessarily the same bunch as Haat Mando’ade though there might be overlap.

- Satine, meanwhile, would be happy to import agricultural products from Concordia to the biodomes of Sundari. That’s a mess from an economic and food security standpoint. Again I ask: canon, what the fuck? You exile the unwanted parts of your population and then rely on them for food production? That’s not actually a realistic plot point, maybe scrap it and write something that provides actual political tension that doesn’t make caricatures of any sides/characters.

- Actually, the New Mandalorian policies in the preceding years are probably a large influence in the development of the extremism of Kyr’tsad. (Canon—wtf, I might be tempted to terrorism if my government unilaterally exiled large fractions of the population?)

- During the clone wars, Kyr’tsad still allies with Dooku and the Sith. The civil war, which had been on a slow simmer, boils over again. In the fighting, Satine is assassinated. Obi-Wan is not only the best but practically the only option to succeed her and keep the precarious alliance of New Mandalorians and moderate traditionalists together.

- It’s a long and a bloody fight against enemies both at home and in the shadows; fought with guns, with diplomacy, with fixing the deep divides in their society, and hunting the shadows fuelling the flames. Obi-Wan proves himself the same military genius and negotiator as he did in canon. He’s decisive, ruthless and compassionate.

- And eventually, he manages to defeat the leader of Kyr’tsad in single combat, wrangle the warring clans to the negotiation table, hunt the Sith, and unite Mandalore. And that’s how the Mandalorian civil wars and the Clone Wars tie together at the end there, and how Obi-Wan emerges from those wars: with united but weakened Mandalore, a dead wife, and a couple of orphaned foundlings. Victorious, but grieving. The erin on his armour long since painted over with black and gold (which he has earned many times over now, avenging his wife and his people). While the rest of the galaxy is reeling from the aftermath of the war, the republic shaken to its foundations, the separatists defeated but but still seceding, the weakened republic unable to hold onto CIS territories.

- This is the man Marshal Commander Cody meets. This Mand’alor, who seemed to have emerged from the funeral pyre of his wife in the image of the legends of old, reforging the Mandalorian empire anew. But still: just a man, victorious but grieving; with a core of beskar, but a heart so full of light it makes Cody’s teeth ache. Cody: Himself one expendable clone among millions, defying his fate and rising to lead armies to victory or ruin. And yet, a man fresh out of a war that has decimated his brothers and broken his faith in the galaxy.

SW Hades AU December Update

First things first some links and previous updates: May - June - July - August - September - October/November - everything else in this AU

This will be more of a summary of everything I've done for this AU in 2024 than an actual December month update. The reason for that is rather simple: I haven't gotten around to posting what I finished during my little holiday break. Creating those new posts would involve some background work, learning some very basic new things, and writing some dialogue, which just wouldn't compute right now.

All that said what you can be looking forward to through January for sure is a full Quinlan post, and a full Echo and Fives post - I've already made one of them with their character art, but skipped the whole background, pocket characters and dialogue part of the task; mostly because I was missing art for another character to create the whole scene that I'd envisioned.

I also did not forget about Leia winning the last poll. I really didn't, but I honestly have no idea how I want her to be depicted in this AU, and lately Satine, Sabine and Ezra have a bit of a hold on my brain, so all my creative thinking is channelled into figuring out what I want from Ezra here. I do have some sketchbook scribbles for Satine and Sabine both.

How about a poll, which I will totally respect this time!

And now for the summary: Characters who had been added this year include: Cody, Obi-wan from his desert era, Darth Maul, Omega and Batcher, Echo and Fives, Shaak Ti and my trio of baby clones, Quinlan (he's just a wip here though), and presentable WIPS for Doctor Aphra, Bo-Katan and her Nite Owls, Axe and Koska, and Kit Fisto.

Which means that in 2024 I've managed to add 8 completed individual character illustrations to this project! I'm quite pleased with that, considering how I'd only started up with renewed passion in May. I'd also finalized the charcter lineup and their little icons, which I can use as a visual aid below to keep track of my progress. The characters marked with blue have completed illustrations, and the ones marked with orange have some type of a WIP going for them.

For the whole of next year I hope to keep to the "one finished character a month" schedule, finish at least the two background images I'd planned for Obi-wan and the Nite Owls, and clean up all the keepsakes I'd sketched out. I'm a little unsure if this will be enough for me to claim around the same time next year that the AU is done, but that is the dream at least. I am missing 11 character arts completely (I know that it doesn't add up, but Moff Gideon doesn't get a cute little portrait, that's just how it is), and 4 WIPs (although Bo-Katan counts for 3). Although based on past progress I should be able to bang out Kit and Aphra in one weekend if my wrist doesn't get too angry with me :3

Taglist of anyone who wants to be pinged once a month for these updates <3 If you want to be added to the list send me a message, or just reply to this post (a 👀 would do, nothing fancy required ;))

@elwinged @yeehawgeek @velsayshi @lionsaint

If you want to be taken off the list just message me and I’ll take you off, no hard feelings :)

Masterlist

Hey, I figured it was about time I sat down and put one of these together, as I have a lot of fics and it can be rather confusing, even for me.

I’ve split them into categories, gen, ship fics and series. I have also linked a few of my cosplay posts.

I am very much ship and let ship.  I realize that not everyone out there ships the same people.  I am too old and too tired to get into shipping wars and discourse.  I have literally about a thousand other things I would rather do than judge someone based on their shipping preferences.  I don’t block or blacklist or go through people’s profiles to see what they ship.  There is no DNI if you ship xyz or if I find out you ship xyz you will be blocked.  I don’t have time for that.  If I don’t like something I see on someone’s feed, I move on with my life.  That said, I’ll give almost anything a read.  I realize that is not everyone’s cup of tea and I respect that. 

I would sincerely appreciate the same courtesy.  If you see something I have written here and it is not your jam, absolutely fine, no hard feelings.  Please don’t be like, oh, I’d love to read this but it has xyz ship in it, eww.  We’re all adults here.  Fandom is supposed to be fun, let’s keep it that way, shall we?

[betelgo0ze]

I’ve officially lost my will to live so here is an in-depth analysis on Star Wars sexuality’s and by “in-depth” I mean this is longer than I originally expected.

To be clear, most of these(minus a few) are headcanons. I’d love to hear your own headcanons in a CALM and RESPECTFUL manner lol. Headcanons are personal opinions and these are mine but again, I’d love to hear yours. I’m open to updating this list.

Obi-Wan: Obi actually is a semi-confirmed queer character. His bisexuality was briefly hinted towards and at the end of the day it very easily could be written off but it’s definitely more confirmation than anyone expected. Again, headcanons are just that. HEADcanons. They are personal ideas therefore are not canon though with his queerness being hinted towards it’s easy to simply accept it but it’s also easy to write it off. Most ppl choose for it to be 100% canon since again, it’s open to interpretation. I am one of these ppl lol. He’s also mentioned to possibly be asexual and I’m semi on board with this. Asexuality is a spectrum but in my head Obi-Wan is either all in or all out(that’s what she said) and as an asexual person I’m going to try and separate myself from him as best as I can. I’m bi, enby and ace but my asexuality is something I don’t talk about often so I won’t go in depth on it but note that my views are way different than other aces but they also could be the same. Huge spectrum. So here are some ideas, not really married to any:

-He’s just. A wh0re. Completely 

-Slut in theory but not in practice 

-Gives off wh0re energy but is just ace

Idk he canonically flirts with all his enemies which could be seen as slut in theory but idk I can’t imagine him being completely ace at the very least. Positively demisexual? But VERY much so, probably has only been w Satine *cough*Cody*cough* but that’s it. Idk this one I don’t rlly have a set idea on

JUST REALIZED I WENT OFF OH OBES LMAO SO UHHH SPEEDRUN

Ashoka: baby gay. Anakin has one of those “I’m proud of my lesbian sister” shirts. Currently trying to find a “I’m disappointed that my brother can’t hide his forbidden romance plot line” shirt(also getting one for Obi)

Anakin: straight but with Padmé he takes it up the as-

Also he’s been with exactly no one else BUT Padmé I’m sorry he’s a simp

Padmé: zero evidence but she’s bi (bi wife energy plays in the background)also unrelated but a total girl failure every girl failure needs her boy failure 

Maul: unlike Padmé I’ve got SO much evidence but also not rlly. In headcanon town I like to think he’s got a thing for Obi but in a canon mindset that’s impossible. Unfortunately my man would kill Obi if he got the chance which he has and just failed but fanfiction exists for a reason❤️❤️❤️

Luke: not a prequel character but I just had to add him bros a TWINK

Cody: Also out of nowhere but I mentioned my love for Codywan up there so ummmmmmmmmm gay

The Loss (A CodyWan Story)

Summary: As Obi Wan travels to Mandalore to help an old flame (TCW S5E16 - The Lawless) Cody struggles with his unrequited feelings for his General and jealousy. Upon Obi Wan's return, Cody has to find a way to help him through one of his greatest hurts.

Cody groaned at the sound of his comm over the rhythmic snores of his brothers. The barracks on Coruscant were tight and the rows of beds too close together to risk answering the call without the threat of waking his grumpy squad.

The glow from his comm device illuminated the ceiling as he swung his legs out of bed with a grunt and padded to the door. He was surprised to almost collide with Obi Wan, standing just outside the door in full Jedi robes, his lightsaber swinging on his belt as he swayed nervously.

“Sorry to get you up, Commander,” he said with a smile, moving to the left of the door and indicating for Cody to follow him. The door closed with a whoosh behind him.

“It’s fine, Sir. What can I do for you?” he asked formerly, standing to attention but very aware he was only in his blacks. Obi Wan seemed to have noticed as well, a wry smile tugging at the edge of his lips.

“I have to go away for a few days. To Mandalore. I wanted to make you aware in case I’m…delayed.”

Cody felt his stomach clench. Mandalore. There was only one person Obi Wan would visit on Mandalore and the Commander struggled to keep the feelings of jealously at bay.

“I can have the men ready in five, Sir.” He said, trying to keep his voice even despite the contraction in his throat trying to choke him.

The General shook his head, “This is not a Republic sanctioned mission, Commander. It is…personal.” He said, and Cody couldn’t help but hear bitterness in his voice.

Cody again felt the jealousy rear inside him like a beast, but was undeterred, “Then I can travel with you, Sir. Your personal bodyguard, perhaps.”

Obi Wan’s lips spread into a soft smile, his sparkling blue eyes clearly touched by the gesture.

“If only you could, Cody. I would certainly feel safer. But you are…It would not be permitted.” he finished.

Cody understood what the General was trying to say. Cody was a clone, and as such, property of the Republic. He knew Obi Wan would never say it outright and didn’t believe it personally. He had always treated Cody and all the clones with dignity and respect. We would never claim ownership, but in matters of diplomacy, a clone coming to Mandalore, an independent system, could be seen as a threat, a declaration of war, even.

“I understand, Sir.” He said with a nod.

“I hope to return in a few days, force willing,” Obi Wan said, his smile faltered as he turned to walk away.  

Cody’s arm shot out, catching the Jedi around the wrist. Obi Wan looked down and then up at his Commander, mild surprise in his eyes.

“Be careful, General. We…we need you back safely.” Cody said, trying desperately to say with his face what he couldn’t say any other way.

Obi Wan took a step closer to Cody, his soft eyes flicking to the commander’s lips before searching his eyes, “I will do my best, Cody,” he said.

Cody let Obi Wan go as he finally pulled away and watched as his robes swished around him as he continued down the hallway and out of sight.

***

Cody slammed his cup of caf down harder than was strictly necessary as he read the report from the day before. The command center was quiet. It was the middle of the night cycle on Coruscant, the glowing lights from the sleepless city twinkling in the artificial darkness. There were times when Cody thought this place was beautiful at night, but not tonight.

He had been in a constant state of anxiety since Obi Wan had left, regularly checking his comm channel, despite knowing the Jedi was too far away to use it. He couldn’t quite decide what he was more afraid of, that his General was on a solo mission without backup, or that he was with Duchess Satine.

He had to deliberately stop his mind swirling. He had seen Obi Wan and the Duchess together. They fought often, disagreed almost always, but between those moments there were lingering looks and a tenderness Cody ached for. He felt the beast rear inside him again and took a deep sip of his caf, choking on the heat of it.

“Are you okay, Sir?” one of the analysts asked from his console.

“Fine,” Cody snapped.

“Did you hear the news, Sir,” the clone asked conversationally.

“I have been asleep for the last five hours, trooper. If it happened after that, I don’t know about it.”

“General Kenobi returned, Sir.” He said, “But…Mandalore fell. The Duchess is dead.”

Cody felt like he had been punched in the throat. All breath left his body. He grabbed his helmet without thinking and exited the command center, the analyst calls after him falling on unhearing ears.

Cody couldn’t see straight, he made his way out of the Republic Center for Military Operations, past the memorial and into a taxi. He could have taken a train or walked but he needed to get to Obi Wan as soon as possible.

The Temple was quiet, the bright external lights illuminating the dark sky. He crossed the threshold, following the familiar but not often trodden path through the common areas. Cody looked left and right cautiously before making his way down the corridor to the Jedi personal quarters. He’d only been to Obi Wan’s room a couple of times and always in a professional capacity. This was something else.

He hesitated as he raised his hand to knock on the door. Unsure what he would say if the Jedi answered. He went to turn away and leave. He shouldn’t be here. He rested his forehead on the door, took a  breath, and knocked.

“Obi Wan?” he said quietly through the door.

There was no movement, no sound. He knocked again. Silence was the only reply

Cody laid his palm on the door and took another breath, “I…” he sighed again and turned just as the door opened with a whoosh.

Obi Wan looked shrunken in the frame of the doorway. His sandy hair, usually neatly pushed to the side of his forehead, hung languidly over his eyes. His head was downcast, his sparkling eyes dulled. His robes were untucked and hanging off of him.

The Jedi wordlessly stepped aside to let Cody enter. He followed him through the room to a small table where a single cold cup of tea sat forgotten.

“I apologize for the hour, Sir,” Cody said, “I… I heard you had returned and…” his voice trailed off, unsure what he should say, could say at a time like this. “I’m sorry, Obi Wan.”

Obi Wan finally looked up, his pale skin blotchy and red. He put his hand on Cody’s shoulder and nodded, “Thank you, Cody. I appreciate you coming but…” his voice caught, “I will be fine after some rest and…” he winced, “recouperation.”

“You’re injured, Sir.” Cody said, watching as Obi Wan’s hand wrapped around his chest.

“I assure you it’s nothing, Cody. I will be fine. You don’t need to worry.”

“I always worry about you, Sir.” Cody said without thinking. He put his helmet down on the table. “May I?” He looked up at his General, who nodded his consent.

Cody gently lifted Obi Wan’s untucked shirt to reveal black and purple bruises over most of his torso, chest and back. He hesitated before running his fingers delicately over the bruising to his ribs and heard the Jedi suck in air through his teeth.

He had enough battlefield triage experience to know a broken rib when he saw one.

“We need to get you to the med bay,” he said firmly.

“I’m fine, Commander.” The General said dismissively.

Cody huffed. Getting Obi Wan to take care of himself was a herculean task on the battlefield, why did he think it would be any easier in this situation?

“You have a broken rib, Sir. Likely more.”

“I can’t…I can’t leave like this,” Obi Wan said, His hands sweeping down his disheveled appearance and dirty robes. Tears glistened in the corner of his eyes, held at bay by sheer willpower, or perhaps the force.

Cody understood. Obi Wan was the Jedi’s perfect negotiator and warrior, but that was not who was standing in front of his Commander now. He was just a man, damaged, and broken hearted.

“Okay. Will you let me treat your wounds until you are ready to leave?”

The Jedi nodded but didn’t speak. Cody fetched the med kit from the fresher and pulled out a long line of bandages. He helped Obi Wan ease out of his shirt, the neckline pulling up the Jedi’s hair and fluffing it, so it fell over his eyes. Cody resisted the temptation to brush it away.

He felt a pang in his chest at the state of the General. If he had been there to help would his body be so broken? The bruises looked worse now that he was completely uncovered and as Obi Wan leaned down to steady himself on the table Cody noticed he carried a limp on his right leg as well.

Even in this moment it wasn’t lost on Cody that a secret desire of his was coming true. He had always been curious to know what Obi Wan was hiding underneath his heavy robes. He had to force himself to focus on the reason but couldn’t help to take a mental note of Obi Wan’s slim but firm physique. He wasn’t as broad as Cody or the other clones, but the muscles of his arms, chest and abs were perfectly defined. Cody desperately tried to keep to the task at hand, focusing on the grief etched on his general’s face as a way to bring him back to the grim reality.

“Why did you come here, Cody? I’m sure it wasn’t to patch me up,” Obi Wan said, his voice soft.

Cody wasn’t sure how to answer the question, he hadn’t made a deliberate decision, his feet had simply carried him where he knew he needed to be.

“I heard you were back. I…I heard about the Dutchess. I…I know you two were…close.”

Obi Wan sighed and caught the side of his chest with his right arm, “That we were.” He responded.

“You loved her, Sir.” Cody said boldly as he started to trace the fabric around the Jedi’s chest. He made sure to keep his eyes on the bandaging, despite feeling Obi Wan’s gaze looking down on him. The Jedi grunted after the first pass, and his Commander uttered whispered apologies. Unfortunately, the dressing needed to be tight.

“I did. And still do...” He said contemplatively. Cody felt like he had taken a vibroknife to the heart but tried his best to mask his face. None of this was news. Obi Wan’s relationship with Satine was an open secret.

“…but as a Jedi, feelings are complicated. They always were with Satine, as they are with…others.” Obi Wan continued. Cody looked up long enough to see Obi Wan’s eyes linger on him. The look on his face was inscrutable.

“What happened to you?” Cody asked quietly, finishing the third and final pass and securing the bandages.

Obi Wan grunted again, “I met an old enemy and Satine...” the name got caught in his throat, “…Satine paid the price for my…our…relationship.”

Cody stood up and helped gently ease Obi Wan into the chair next to the table.

“I’m sorry,” Cody said again, not sure what else he could say.

He crossed to the small kettle, filling it with water and turning it on. The Jedi watched silently as he worked. Cody removed the cold cup of tea in front of the General, replacing it was a steaming one. He sat down with his own cup, holding it between his hands for warmth.

The room was quiet and dark. Obi Wan’s quarters were minimalist at best. A small cupboard in the corner held his robes. His meditation space with cozy with warm reed mats and comfy looking cushions on the floor. The bedroom to the right of the door was disheveled and Cody wondered if it reflected its owner’s current mindset.

“You don’t have to stay. I don’t imagine I’m the best company right now.” Obi Wan said in the silence.

Cody put down his drink, “Do you want me to leave?”

Obi Wan went to talk but no sound came out. “I don’t know,” he said finally.

Obi Wan’s piercing blue eyes fixed on him and Cody couldn’t tell whether he was trying to reach out with the force, to find out the mysteries of his mind, or if he was too tired to have this conversation. Either way, he was sure he had overstayed his welcome.

Cody drained the last of his tea and stood up. “Would you like me to help you to bed before I go?”

The General hesitated before nodding. Obi Wan’s eyes were searching as his Commander gingerly pulled his right arm around his neck and heaved him to standing. Cody felt the Jedi’s weight on his left side. He was dragging his leg and Cody had to resist the urge to scoop him into his arms to save him from some discomfort.

Cody gently laid Obi Wan on the bed, propping him up as best he could so his back and chest were supported. It still didn’t stop him from wincing as he settled into place.

“If it’s okay with you, Sir. I’ll check on you in the morning,” Cody said. He turned to leave and felt soft fingertips close around his wrist. He turned back to see those intense blue eyes gazing back at him.

“Stay,” he said softly.

“Obi Wan I…”

“I see her die every time I close my eyes. Please, can you stay? just a moment longer?”

Cody’s heart broke for his Jedi. He wanted nothing more than to kiss him, hold him, do anything to take the hurt away. He wordlessly climbed onto the bed, letting Obi Wan gingerly rest against his left side.

“I feel I am asking too much of you,” Obi Wan said quietly.

“I’m here for whatever you need, Obi Wan.” Cody replied. He rested his head on the headboard and closed his eyes. “Would you like to talk about her?”

The Jedi didn’t need any more of an invitation. He spoke lyrically of the first time he met the future Duchess of Mandalore. How they had saved each other time and again and forged a bond that made him question his dedication to the Order he’d pledged his life to.  He laughed as he discussed their arguments, their sparring, and different outlooks on the galaxy. He recounted how she had died at the hands of the Sith, her final words, and the place she would always have in his heart.

Cody slowly stroked Obi Wan’s hair as he listened, tentatively at first, but upon receiving no indication that he was overstepping, he continued. He never interrupted, letting his General share his grief just once before he had to return to his life as a Jedi Master.

Through his words, Cody fell in love with Satine as well. In love with who she had been to Obi Wan, the place she had held for him. He hoped to one day hold a similar place in the Jedi’s heart but was content enough to be his support for now.

After a while Cody realized the General’s voice had faltered, replaced by soft, deep breathing. He was trapped under the weight of Obi Wan, but he didn’t mind. The lights from the sleepless city shone through the large arched window in the room. The city really was beautiful at night and there was currently no other place he would rather be.

when the skies catch fire │ch. 44

first chapter (x); previous chapter (x)

“Can I ask you something, Obi-Wan?”

Obi-Wan looks over at his brother, the Dantooine sun glinting off his strawberry blond hair. Elzar is wearing it half up today, reminding Obi-Wan of how Qui-Gon had always styled his.

“Of course,” he responds.

They’re walking together in the port city market at the base of the Dantooine mountains, having been given a list of items to trade for. They’ve made a dent in the list but still need to locate half a dozen items. Obi-Wan leans on his cane as they walk down the cobbled street.

“What was the nature of your relationship with Cody?” asks Elzar, shifting his pack to his other shoulder.

Obi-Wan is immediately grateful that Satine had looped him in on her observations, and he recognizes Elzar’s question for what it is. Navigating through a densely-packed area of the street, Obi-Wan waits until Elzar has joined him on the other side of the crowd of people before responding.

“You’re asking if there ever was anything romantic or sexual between myself and Cody.”

Elzar nods, his expression unreadable.

“No, there was not,” Obi-Wan says, taking another step forward, and Elzar follows him. “In another lifetime, perhaps there would have been,” he admits. “But I met Satine as a teenager, and I never fell out of love with her. While of course it’s possible to love two people in that manner simultaneously, it’s not something I’ve ever been capable of.” His cane clicks against the cobblestone as he continues walking through the market. “There was also the not insignificant issue of my technically being Cody's superior. The…the power imbalance was deterrent enough to prevent feelings of that nature from ever developing on my end. Though, of course, I cannot speak to if my experience was the same as Cody’s.”

“Cody said something similar, when I asked him.”

Obi-Wan quirks a brow at this, and Elzar continues.

“It’s obvious there is a great respect and love shared between you two,” says Elzar. “I wanted to do my due diligence in determining the nature of that love before anything escalated. between myself and him.”

Obi-Wan stops and turns toward his brother, looking up at him. “Very little could make me happier than if you and Cody found happiness together,” he says softly. “You don’t need my permission, of course, but you have it, if you’d like.”

A smile starts to spread slowly across Elzar’s face, and then suddenly it breaks into a full grin. Obi-Wan recognizes that smile - it’s the same he wears whenever he himself looks at Satine.

His own mouth curves up, and he places his free hand on Elzar’s shoulder briefly.

“But brother or not, I will not hesitate to avenge him if you hurt him,” says Obi-Wan, bringing his hand back down, jostling the poncho that he’s wearing so that Elzar can catch a quick glance at the lightsaber that hangs on his hip.

To his credit, Elzar is unfazed.

“If I did so, then I would deserve it,” Elzar says, and Obi-Wan nods.

“As long as that’s clear,” says Obi-Wan, taking a step forward. But then he turns around to where Elzar is rooted to the spot. His tone and expression soften. “I will give the same caveat to Cody about you, you know,” he adds gently.

He swears he sees Elzar’s eyes sparkle - with moisture or mischief, he’s not quite sure - before Obi-Wan turns back around, continuing down the market street.

They make their way companionably, adding to Elzar’s pack and crossing items off their list. Just as they’ve found the last item, Obi-Wan’s attention is caught by a sparkle of gold, and he heads toward a table covered in jewelry.

Most of the items are somewhat rusty or dusty or both, but Obi-Wan is immediately drawn to a gold diadem with a simple blue-green stone set in the center. He blinks, flashes of Satine wearing a pink traveling coat and a similar diadem appearing before his eyes.

He thinks back to the various other diadems he knows used to be in her wardrobe. It had been a long time since Satine had any sort of proper jewelry in her possession. She has the kyber crystal necklace now, of course, but he knows the peeling leather cord is a sorry excuse for ornamentation. And he’d never managed to get her an engagement ring, even if she wore the beskar wedding band religiously.

“It belonged to a Jedi.”

Obi-Wan’s eyes snap up to meet the shopkeeper’s gaze. The Twi’lek man’s brilliant blue eyes didn’t outwardly show any signs of deception, but without the Force, Obi-Wan couldn’t be sure.

Not in the mood to barter for long today, Obi-Wan digs in a pocket and produces a single ingot of beskar. He holds it up, silently asking the man for a deal.

The Twi’lek man shakes his head. “You’ll need at least two to trade for the diadem.”

“Pity,” says Obi-Wan, putting the ingot back in his pocket and walking away, Elzar moving to follow him.

A second water, the shopkeeper flags them down. “Wait! You have yourself a deal.”

Obi-Wan grins at Elzar, turning around to make the trade.

---

Satine is in the middle of a call in the conference room when Obi-Wan and Elzar return, so Obi-Wan goes in search of Quinlan and Ventress, the diadem tucked inside a pouch at his hip.

They’re stretching in one of the training rooms, working up Quinlan’s fitness so that he will eventually be able to spar. Obi-Wan thinks his friend already looks happier now that he’s been cleared to do some physical activity, however minimal.

Ventress, too, appears more relaxed than he’s seen her, and she shoots him a grin when he enters the room. 

“Successful supply run?” asks Quinlan.

Obi-Wan sits down beside them. “Uneventful,” he says, setting his cane to the side. “So I suppose that counts as a success.” He taps his fingers against one knee. “Quin, I was looking for you because I wanted to ask for a psychometry read on something I picked up at the market - but then I remembered you probably can’t do those readings anymore, can you?”

Quinlan shakes his head, and to Obi-Wan’s surprise, he’s smiling. “It’s actually incredible,” he says. “I don’t have to worry about being overcome with pain or grief or anger whenever I pick something up,” he admits. “It’s liberating, not being overstimulated all the time.”

Ventress shifts from a right-legged split into a center split. “What did you find?” she asks Obi-Wan, curious.

Obi-Wan digs in his pouch and reveals the diadem. “It’s for Satine,” he says, handing it to Ventress. “She used to have one that looked like it. The shopkeeper said it was a Jedi's. He didn’t look like he was trying to lie to me, but…”

Ventress chuckles. “Hard to tell when the Force isn’t whispering in your ear,” she says, examining the diadem. She looks up at Obi-Wan. “When Vos and I were training to take down Dooku, he wasn’t the only one learning things,” she adds.

Quinlan grins, leaning so his shoulder brushes against Obi-Wan’s. “I taught her everything I know about psychometry,” he says proudly.

Ventress rolls her eyes. “You don’t know all that much, then, do you?” she quips, and her eyes land back on Obi-Wan. “Psychometry can be learned,” she says, “and I did learn a bit. But I’ve not nearly as proficient as Vos. It’s like breathing to him - it’s natural. It takes much more focus when I attempt it.” She turns the diadem over in her hands. “I could try, though, if you want me to.”

Intensely curious, Obi-Wan nods.

Ventress folds her legs together, crossing them in a meditative position. Then she cups the diadem between her palms and closes her eyes.

She begins to chant in a language that Obi-Wan is unfamiliar with. He raises a brow at Quinlan.

“It works better when she uses her Nightsister magick,” explains Quinlan.

“It works better when I am surrounded by silence,” snaps Ventress, and Quinlan bites his lip, unable to completely stop his laughter.

But then silence does descend, and Ventress resumes chanting.

Obi-Wan feels himself being pulled in by the words as they dance up and down in pitch, and they twist around him like a musical staff filled with notes. He closes his eyes.

Suddenly, he feels warm; he feels calm. He feels as though even if the worst possible outcome were to meet him, he will survive. He doesn’t feel pain. He opens his eyes, startled.

He doesn’t feel pain.

His joints aren’t aching. His headache has dissipated. Even the scar tissue on his skin isn’t pulling uncomfortably.

He gasps, Ventress opens her eyes and goes silent, and the feeling is gone.

Obi-Wan breathes heavily, and Ventress leans over to press a cold hand to the crook of his elbow. Quinlan is standing over him at his other side.

“Obi-Wan, what the kriff?”

Obi-Wan looks at them, eyes wide. “I think I…”

He tries again, his breath still unsteady.

“I think I felt the Force.”

obi-wan kenobi- better man

summary: you watch as obi-wan has moved on from you but you can't help but still have feelings for him.

obi-wan x gn!reader

warnings: none

word count: 705

....

You tried not to stare.

You really tried for your sanity but you couldn’t help it, your eyes stayed glued to them.

You watched as your fellow Jedi, and former partner, Obi-Wan Kenobi hooked a finger under Duchess Satine’s chin and pressed a loving kiss to her cheek while she closed her eyes and smiled.

Your heart clenched at the sweet gesture.

You remembered a time when he had acted that way with you.

You watched the way the duchess scrunched up her nose with delight and laid her head against his chest.

It was so unfair.

You tried so hard to hate him after he had told you that one September night that he needed to focus on being a Jedi Master and helping to train Anakin instead of being with you but you just couldn’t

You had initially believed him when he said he wanted to focus on work. But you knew that wasn’t the case when you saw him a few weeks later, trailing after Satine like a lovesick puppy with his cheeks scarlet.

You remembered when he used to look at you like you were the most beautiful thing in all of existence. 

The way his blue eyes lit up and sparkled every time you walked in a room.

Now you watched as he looked at Satine that way.

You tried so hard to hate her but you just couldn’t.

Satine was so kind to you, always greeting you with a smile when you came to her planet, and treating you with respect. You had always admired the way she ruled Mandalore with such grace and poise. 

And you knew that if she had known that you were previously with Obi-Wan then she would’ve stayed far away from you because that was the type of person she was. But Obi-Wan had made it clear that the two of you would be secret so you honored his wishes.

Your hands shook as you averted your eyes from the happy couple.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, you could still feel him, your body would tingle from the ghost of his fingers on your waist, his lips on yours.

“I’ve never loved somebody as much as I love you,” Obi-Wan’s voice snapped you out of your clouded mind as you felt your heart shatter at his words.

Oh.

He had never told you that before.

He had never even bothered to tell you that he loved you.

That day he ended your relationship you had told him you loved him and you’d never forget the horrified expression on his face, his jaw slack as he mumbled “I’m sorry,” and then left you alone, heartbroken, and full of tears.

And still, after all of that, you still loved and missed him.

You stood up abruptly, wiping a stray tear that had slipped down your cheek from the memory.

Your heart pounded in your chest as you started walking away at a fast pace.

You needed to get off Mandalore and bring more distance between yourself and Obi-Wan.

“Y/N?” the voice of Obi-Wan filled the throne room.

You shook off his voice and continued walking to the ship that you had gone on with Obi-Wan. 

Your steps became quicker as you peeked your eyes and saw that both Obi-Wan and Satine were following you, concern evident in their eyes.

Hot angry tears streamed down your face as you approached your ship.

Commander Cody sat at the edge of the ship with his helmet off as he slightly dozed off.

“Let’s go,” your voice was angry as you awoke him with a jolt.

You didn’t mean to be rude but your emotion was taking over your entire body.

“But General Kenobi-”

“I don’t care, Commander, let's just go,” your voice cracked.

The commander took one look at your puffy eyes and trembling lips and nodded before immediately rushing over to the cockpit and urging the ship to life.

 Once the ship started moving in the air, Obi-Wan and Satine appeared on the launchpad looking up at you.

You stared down at him and slowly shook your head at him before sitting down.

It never would have happened if he was just a better man.

5 6 7 10 for Star Wars violence 👀

OKAY TIME FOR THE VIOLENCE (I don't know how actually violent these opinions are but pretend I am Very Vicious)

5. Worst blorboficiation?

sdfsdifj REGRETTABLY... OBI-WAN.... I love the man but fandom characterizations definitely show some Popular Guy Character Syndrome where it's all about how sad and tormented he is and while I respect that as a lover of tormented men, it is certainly an experience when you're like, reading a CodyWan fic and Cody is comforting Obi-Wan through his tragic past like he's never gone through anything difficult in his life. Also some of Obi-Wan's fun edges are sanded off, he's more generically sassy but considerate of others feelings and kind, etc, and like. He's not UNkind. But this is a man that faked his death and did not tell his emotionally unstable best friend like that was going to do anything but drive Anakin absolutely batshit insane. He watched like ten clones in a row die without a reaction and then the instant a Jedi died they all had to stop for a funeral. He tried to get Luke to kill Vader WITHOUT telling him who he was. He's kind of an idiot and can be kind of an asshole. Let him hurt people's feelings! Let him be socially inept! He is a dipshit not a harmless weep blob!

(This ties in with my desire to see CodyWan fic where they straight up get in a fight but is not ENTIRELY connected to that)

6. Opinion on canon and/or fanon use of the secret child trope? Discuss.

It works for Luke and Leia and I think it should have stayed at that. I'm not a big fan of the Palpatine reveal for Rey but I didn't want her to be a Skywalker either, sometimes you want a main that is Just Some Guy, doesn't need to be a secret child of anyone. In fanon I just REALLY do not like it, partially because it's plugging in a blood relation where it doesn't need to be. The other part is that I have mostly seen it for Obi-Wan and Satine with that Korkie kid and with how utterly repressed those two are at each other I refuse to believe they ever successfully fucked.

7. What is the weakest piece of canon writing?

It feels like cheating to say the sequel trilogy mostly because I never finished it so a thing that I definitely finished and loved but makes no sense - AOC is not the strongest movie but ROTS was like, fully just a series of cool scenes stitched together to approximate a movie. And don't get me wrong, I adore the prequels. But the only one that I think succeeds as a Movie is TPM. ANAKIN'S FALL ESPECIALLY IS NONSENSICAL AS SHIT. Like the underlying motivations are there but they were not pieced into anything resembling a coherent narrative. You have a start point, an end point, and everything in between just kind of jumps around with I think the weakest point being the Tusken Massacre - it's treated more like a sign of Anakin's potential darkness than anything when like. That's a whole village. He killed a whole village and it never comes up again! Lucas apparently didn't consider it that big a deal!

It's to a point where I actually think the massacre can't be addressed from a fully in universe perspective, because there's no actual way to twist it around so that it makes sense for that not to be enough to Make Anakin Fall without breaking the already very loose rules of the universe. Most other Star Wars points I can figure out some kind of justification for how it works in world, but to explain how Anakin wouldn't fall here you just have to kind of confront that Lucas is both not a very good writer and also approached the Tuskens with an incredibly racist viewpoint given that he doesn't appear to see their deaths as fully Counting, unlike the Jedi younglings in ROTS. It's a plot choice that, if treated with the full weight it would narratively deserve, completely unravels the entire rest of the series, the only way to make the storyline of everything else WORK is to take it out or change it so much as to be an entirely different scenario, and I can't think of any other things that fuck it up THAT bad.

10. What’s a ship you've unwillingly come around to?

I think 'unwillingly' is overstating it (but then I rarely DISLIKE a ship, so there's usually not much Unwillingly about it) but I thought Tech/Phee was cute at most until everyone started being Like That about them. Now I want them to kiss and get married onscreen. I hope that she hits that every night. Phee deserves whatever she wants.

Also Anakin/Padme probably counts because I did not actually go into the clone wars watch WANTING to love Anakin but Whoops. WHOOPS. So that meant I got An Affection for the two of them in all their messy stupid as shit glory.

Sims 4 CC Update: Obi-wan's Mando Armor

AU where Satine survives because Cody noticed Obi-wan struggling for twenty minutes trying to get the Twilight to take off and managed to get aboard

'General, I just want to talk-'

'Can I ask exactly what you think you're doing here, Sir?'

'Death Watch has imprisoned the Duchess and staged a coup. You need not have followed me, Commander. I assure you, I am more than perfectly suited for this mission. As you can see, with this disguise, I'm invisible.'

'Permission to speak freely, Sir?'

'Of course, Cody. You know you can drop the ranks, my dear. It's just the two of us.'

'Alright. To put it mildly, your infiltration skills are dismal at best.

It took me less than two minutes to catch up to you after giving you a head start, you're hiding behind a dangerously short packing crate, and aren't even wearing a kriffing helmet on a planet full of blond people.'

'I do believe the Duchess has a red-headed sister-'

'Uh-huh. I know this is an unsanctioned mission. You swore you'd tell us if the council asked you to take part in another Hardeen fiasco.'

'Well yes, the Senate won't allow us to intervene. It's an internal matter, but I sense something much more nefarious than a simple coup at play here. There's a dark presence on this planet, something familiar.'

'Dooku?'

'No...I can't quite recognize it...but if we break Satine out of prison and put her where she belongs-'

'So, you plan to remove the Duchess from the security of her cell with an unknown darksider on planet and no backup.'

'Well-'

'Right. Well the good news is that a High Jedi General recently went missing in neutral space, so we now have clearance to invade this planet.'

'What- who?'

'Take one guess, Sir.'

'Put me- CODY! This was NOT the plan- where did you even find that helmet-'

'It was always the plan, Sir. You can have Skywalker and Tano brief you when they arrive with our respective battalions.'

'They can't just-'

'Show up with an army to save one Jedi?'

'I- force, Mace will have my head. Very well. You can put me down Cody.'

'No.'

This was definitely the vibe when Obi-wan came back and had to tell Anakin he crashed his ship after not even inviting him along and I'll die on this hill.

Obi-wan's armor is up now for my early access patrons, and it will be public on March 17, 2023.

New meshes, all LODs

Hand painted texture

Armor, helmet, and a recolor of the short boots from the Journey to Batuu pack to match

Note: If I were to start writing more than one fic, then I would need to stretch the updates for The Great War to once a month instead of once every two weeks, although I would keep updating it.

If it matters at all, Arcane Paths is the fic I could probably finish the fastest out of these 5 and either When Stars Collide or A Lesson in Murder Mystery would take the longest.

A Lesson in Murder Mystery

Cody is the new Engineering professor at the University of Coruscant and Obi-Wan is the long-standing English professor. When Obi-Wan is attacked one night, they both get pulled into a conspiracy surrounding the death of the late Dean and the deaths of several others connected to the University. The two have to work together to solve the mystery before whoever's after Obi-Wan finally succeeds in their mission.

When Stars Collide

After many years of war and many more years of tension, the Jedi and Mandalore finally decide to make peace. To guarantee that the still-fresh peace treaty will not be broken, however, each side must offer up one member of their respective groups to be married to each other. Manda'lor Jango Fett offers his heir, Cody Fett. The Council offers Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Some tensions cannot simply be put to rest by treaties, however, and both sides must learn to understand each other--or risk losing to an even greater enemy that threatens both sides.

Welcome to the Temple

Scientist Cody Fett and his brothers move to a small town in the middle of nowhere in order to investigate the weird shit that seems to always be going on there. A town the locals simply refer to as the "Temple." Things get a little more complicated for him when he starts dating the town's odd radio host, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and one of his brothers witnesses something and becomes a target of SithCorp.

A Sith's Sense of Humor

A very pissy and recently deceased Count Dooku decides that things just aren't entertaining enough in his reality, and the Son agrees. So, to stir the pot a little, they decide to send some of the Jedi into another reality to see what happens. There's only one problem... The spell hits all of their commanders instead.

Arcane Paths

A year prior, Magician Obi-Wan Kenobi woke up in a strange room next to a strange man with no memory to speak of. Now, he works side by side with the man--Cody Fett--in their small shop in the city and, although Cody seems to keep many secrets, things are nice...at least until Cody leaves and Obi-Wan is visited by two people. The Duchess Satine Kryze, who asks him to solve a mystery for her, and murderer Anakin Skywalker, who seems to be looking for Cody--or, at least, something Cody has.

During the investigation, however, Cody reappears and it starts to seem like the secrets he's keeping are connected to Obi-Wan's investigation...and the memories that he can't seem to recall.

[beasanfi1997]

I have a theory about Miramar, the name that Omega might have use while ahe Is in disguised, that It the full name of Mira Bridger, the mother of Ezra and i Hope that Tala Durith might be her Older sister because they are look alike, same nose, same color of skin excepted the color of their eyes, because Mira had Purple eyes and Tala had Brown eyes, and i have theory about Haja Estree that he might be Ephraim Bridger's friend. After the Battle of Endor, Haja came with Ryder Azadi, Jai, Mrs Sumar, Zare and Dhara Leonis came on Naboo to convince Ezra to return on Lothal that the boy refuse because he want to meets Lux Bonteri, Petro, Katooni, Ganodi, Byph, Gungi, Zatt, Vaash Ti, Rako, Bobby, Bene, Riyo Chuchi, Korkie Kryze, Lagos, Amis, Soniee and Mas Amedda before he return on Lothal that the people celebrate his return and acclaimed him like a Hero.

Omega too might had meets Rae Sloane, that the Imperial woman that Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla meet her in New Dawn, or even Dosmit Raeh that Omega will name her daughter Rey, but a differents letter(I don't know that Basic would sound similar respect our earth language) After the Battle of Endor and One year before Ben Solo Born After the Battle of Jakku

I Hope that Omega was a friend for Ezra, After the Liberation of Lothal, because Ezra was a baby in Bad Batch and he didn't Remember her until 19 years later. I would like to see them in the heir of the Empire where Omega tried to convince Ezra to not worry about Ben before She will meets Dathan Palpatine.

Disney made a right choice to show us Ezra, Ben and Rey from 2014 to 2019.

I was fool because i was mistaken that Rey might be Ezra's child with Sabine Wren but i Remember that It was started when Obi-Wan meets Satine Kryze and before they will meets Ursa Wren before the events of Phantom Menace and It was started also where Obi-Wan Chase Jango Fett After he gets Clones, including Omega, Rex, Cody, Hunter, Crosshair, Tech, Echo, Wolff and Wrecker on Kamino that It was the idea of Palpatine and Dooku until Mace Windu kills Jango on Geonosis and before Sabine Born during the Clone Wars and before Ezra Born on Empire Day and i realize that Clone Force 99 was the true responsable to made the origin of Ghost Crew starring with Kanan and Hera before they were hidden on Naboo, where Padme Amidala and Palpatine were Born. I was fool to not learned about those characters even Rebels and Force Awakens were connected. And because It bring all until Exegol, the new Kamino After Tarkin destroy Kamino in the end of Bad Batch season One.

Clone Wars season three predicted all because Anakin will Hide Ezra and Ahsoka on Naboo with clone force 99 and Martez Sisters, that Obi-Wan told at Anakin to save Ahsoka while they were on Mortis and even the Father see a vision, then Echo gets kidnapped by Separatists, and the he gets rescue by Bad Batch, After Anakin and Ahsoka meets Tarkin(that Anakin sees a vision from Mortis were Tarkin will Blow up Alderaan After we saw Padme use the speed bike during her Chase against the Bounty Hunters on Coruscant, that Luke and Leia will use the speed biker on Return of Jedi) and then Anakin and Ahsoka meets Chewbacca in the end of Clone Wars season three, that they will meets again on Empire strikes back. We also see Padme and Ahsoka that they help Satine to defense Mandalore, if Sabine might have Born between clone Wars season two or three, and even we see the future of Ahsoka and Lux Bonteri when Padme sees again Mina the mother of Lux.

Rebels season three too predicted all because we see Ezra meets Obi-Wan and he almost find out that Anakin Is the Chosen One from the Last Word of Darth Maul and then Bendu reveals at the audience that Thrawn will be killed by Ben in the Mandalorian after Ezra and Sabine saves the Rebellion with the help of the Mandalorians people, After they learn that Maul Is dead and even Thrawn was anger for It, and you realize that Ezra and Sabine will take care of Ben. I Wish that Tech and Qi'ra should have here in this season because Sabine mentioned them but without to Say their names while She fight against Arihnda Pryce meeting Wedge Antilles, that they will team up with Lando to destroy Death Star II.

[ere-the-sun-rises]

God, I love the shitshow that is The Clone Wars. We will never know better television. Here's some other highlights:

Alien Nazi re-invents bioterrorism (Blue Shadow Wirus)

Obi-Wan literally says "That's terrorism, Anakin" in a Jedi Council meeting

Barriss and Ahsoka are trapped underground, about to die in a factory explosion, and Luminara's response is "It be like that sometimes"

Obi-Wan and Quinlan Vos break into the house of Jabba's mother to find out where his uncle went

A deserter clone fucks hard enough to get himself a hot Twi'lek wife

Child!Boba Fett crashes an entire star cruiser to kill Mace Windu. Literally only Mace and Anakin survive the crash.

Obi-Wan flirts his way through every conversation he has with an enemy, but only Ventress flirts back

Rex is forced to awkwardly ward off Obi-Wan while Anakin talks to his totally secret wife

Anakin and Ahsoka throw Rex off multiple buildings with the Force and no warning

A clone named Fives uncovers the whole Sith conspiracy because his friend had a seizure and evades capture by blending in because he's LITERALLY A CLONE

Fives and Palpatine have a "You're totally right, but no one will ever believe you" moment, after which Fives punches him in the face

A clone named Cody punches Grievous in the face

Cody also routinely roundhouse kicks droids' heads off

Darth Maul only respects Ahsoka

Despite yelling at Obi-Wan about use of violence, his ex Satine hangs out with Padme - notable people-murderer - as she kills smugglers with no issues. Girl's day out on the town

R2-D2 susses out a double-agent astromech and will not rest until he is The Last One Remaining

On a mission with Jar Jar, a clone commander figures out how to weaponize his incompetence and breaks Obi-Wan and Anakin out of Hondo's hideout

"Spice" is totally space-cocaine. Hondo was going to ransom Obi-Wan and Anakin for two tons of spice.

Everyone totally knows Anakin and Padme are married but maintain the polite fiction

Bly spends every second he's on screen with Aayla Secura doing his best to Look Respectfully

Rex tricks his way into a droid-occupied base by holding up a severed droid head to the camera and saying "Roger Roger". In his regular accent. 0 effort, Nat 20 roll.

Turns out Obi-Wan and Cody are the equivalent of 5-star generals and run an entire systems army by themselves (there are 10 in total). They spend most of their time saving Anakin's ass.

Two clones get adopted by a Twi'lek girl who doesn't even speak their language.

Yoda will stand/sit on the clones

Ahsoka gets her lightsaber stolen and gets a retiree to help her bc she doesn't want to tell Anakin he was right

Rex calls Anakin by his given name exactly once and Anakin is so thrown off by this he mounts a rescue immediately

Obi-Wan beats the shit out of people with his bare hands more than once.

Cody and Rex pet R2-D2.

The Umbara Arc is about team-killing. I'm making it sound much funnier than it is.

In the first three seasons, Obi-Wan's skirt swishes around his legs.

The clones have slurs for the droids that the Jedi also use

Anakin and Padme are trapped aboard an enemy ship and almost get shot multiple times bc they're too busy making out

Obi-Wan fakes his own death, steals the identity and appearence of his would-be-assassin, then spends the rest of his time avoiding death by Anakin or annoying Cad Bane

Obi-Wan and Anakin banter as zombie cicadas almost put a mind-control worm up Luminara's nose

Kit Fisto watches his Padawan get murked and just backflips out of there (like, he physically backflips away then fucks right off)

And lastly, since it cannot be emphasized enough,

R2-D2 kills A LOT of people, and set a few more on fire

stuff they actually let happen on Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Godzilla tried to eat Chancellor Palpatine

Darth Maul came back from the dead as a crime boss with robot legs and had a giant angry brother named Savage

Jabba the Hutt’s uncle was an offensive gay stereotype

Palpatine had a gigantic forehead for literally no reason

Zombie episode

They named a Jedi “I’m Gonna Die” and then killed him

Some senator had a sex robot

All the Twi’leks had French accents

Ahsoka got hunted for sport

Anakin had to do elaborate BDSM roleplay with an evil cat lady

Dooku was almost murdered by the Macbeth witches

Hondo Ohnaka

Yoda made contact with Qui-Gon Jinn’s ghost but the other Jedi just thought he had dementia

0.07 seconds after leaving the Jedi Order, Ahsoka crashed her motorcycle, got a girlfriend, and ended up smuggling drugs for the mob

Anakin and Obi-Wan met the physical incarnations of the Dark and Light Sides of the Force and they looked like a goth drama queen and his cottagecore sister and both of them were furries

Ahsoka got bit by an evil rat which made her evil for awhile

Jar Jar killed a guy

I wait until he’s just out the door before moving after him, “Hey Fett,” I call, leaning in the doorframe and holding out two flowers. A white rose, and a yellow one. Virgil and Vader’s favorite, respectively, “next time send someone unrecognizable. You’re in every damn news clipping next to them.” I basically toss the two flowers to him, both wrapped in satin black ribbons, before shutting the door and flipping the sign to closed, giving him a smug grin as I do.

Sillies. I move to the back room just so I can leave him there in shock.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Virgil blinks at the two flowers Cody lays on his desk an hour after the encounter. "Cody- darling boy- you are the fucking. Poster child. Of my organization," he hums, clasping his hands together to keep himself from wigging out.

"She did mention that," Cody nods slowly.

Virgil gives him a dramatic gasp, "My- did she? How on Coruscant could she ever recognize you and put that together?!"

"Hey- at least I got her fingerprint. And now I can run every file that exists on her. Combined with the shit Cross gathered I'd say it's been successf-"

"IS SHE HERE?" Virgil's voice raises. "Is she in my arms? Or Vader's? Or our bed? No, Cody, she is not. This is day fucking- what- five? Four? Day whatever the hell- of her not obeying me. I want it taken care of. She's mine-"

"Ours," Vader corrects.

"Ours," Virgil growls out. "She is ours and I want her here. Now."

He dismisses Cody with an agitated wave toward the door, running a hand through his hair.

"It's alright, my love," Vader says softly, studying his husband. "We'll find her-"

"Don't." Virgil shakes his head. "Don't. You already put me through this once and-"

"And I have apologized," Vader slowly gets up and moves around the desk, inching Virgil's chair back with a gentle push before slowly kneeling in front of him, "And I have made it up to you so many times by now. Must I do it again?"

"I know she'll have to."

"I'm talking about me right now," Vader murmurs lowly, looking up at Virgil through his lashes as he undoes Virgil's pants and pushes them down enough to free his cock. "Don't you worry- in a few seconds you'll forget all about her for the time-being."

And Virgil does, but only for the time that Vader is kneeling and sucking him into oblivion. The second that pleasure is gone, his body demands more, from both Vader and you.

So, he does what any normal person would do. He gives Vader another small list of names, ordering his husband to kill all of them.

His anger is ebbed when people who piss him off suddenly go missing. Even if he's not the one doing the dirty work, that's... still a stress reliever.

Especially because Vader then comes home half-feral and looking for a rough fuck. He's always so passionately rough afterward- and god, it is fucking. Glorious.

While Virgil spends the next several days looking over the files the boys bring him and sorting out all the information about you that he can, Vader is set loose in the city, taking care of loose end after loose end at the most random places.

Bodies lay in his wake, none of them traceable back to him or Virgil- and even if they were, they're certain that any cop in this city would literally sew their lips together in exchange for a generous amount of cash.

Even still, Vader goes about his killing very carefully, making sure the deaths are brutal but clean. Not like fucking Rako Hardeen- what a nutcase. What an actual psychopath.
