Sand

General Kenobi feels the coming sandstorm long before their sensors do, and it is only the advance warning that allows them to get their men underground ahead of the howling wind. Cody watches troops pour into the narrow opening of the shelter, lungs tightening with dread as the sky goes burnt orange, then darkens, darkens, the noon light bruising through every shade of dusk. The ground rattles. The doors close.

For eight days and nights, they wait for the storm to pass. In the dim red light of their emergency bunker, the world seems to shrink.

"Patience," Obi-Wan says. Still, Cody paces.

Outside the bunker, there are brothers still at war, beyond Cody's knowledge of their whereabouts or welfare. Within the bunker, they have enough supplies for five days more, ten if they ration, and Cody can do nothing more, nothing --

"Patience. Cody," Obi-Wan slips into Cody's path, sets a hand over his racing heart.

The world is small, and dim, all the walls closing in, but Cody goes still, for him, takes a long, deep breath.

"Patience. It will pass."

It passes.

When the pounding and raging of the gale finally ceases, Cody follows Obi-Wan out the bunker doors to find a world utterly changed. Traces exist -- the shadow of a LAATi emerging from the dunes, the sand-stripped skeletons of B1 battle droids half-buried -- and yet, it is a place of perfect silence, perfect stillness, lit by cool, clear early morning sunlight. Cody removes his helmet, sets a hand on Obi-Wan's pauldron, and raises his eyes to the sky.

WIP Game

Rules: Make a 24-hour poll with the names of your wips, let it run, then write one sentence for every vote the winner received.

Brought to you by @bluemaskedkarma (DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY WIPS I HAVE o_o *affectionate fist-shaking in your general direction*). Knowing how my brain shrieks and runs from imagined pressure, I'm not listing any of the major AUs here, just the side stuff I've worked on recently.

(I will also cheerfully blather on about most of these if there are questions. ^_^;; Except the pwp. That's just weird smut.)

I received some tags lately from the lovely @bluemaskedkarma @biscuityskies @lttrsfrmlnrrgby @merlyn-bane (and maybe more I only went so far back in my likes rn sorryyyy). I have finally done a little writing and I'm excited to share a bit!

“You’re really leaving it like that?” Rex asks after a moment. “What do you mean?” Cody responds with a faux innocence. “It’s bad enough, the stripe on your codpiece, but now the thigh plate like that?” “It’s always been there.” Rex gives an exasperated sigh. “You know what I mean—the other one’s blank now.” “Came off.” “I swear to—you have paint right there.” Cody has a dangerous smile when Obi-Wan chances a glance. Predatory. “Maybe I like it better this way.” “Ok, slut.”  “That's Marshal Commander Slut to you,” comes the low rumble of Cody's voice. 

I don't have the mental energy right now to tag people so please consider yourself tagged if you want to be <3

I got tagged by @smoosey and @merlyn-bane thank you both 🧡

My last line was in my teacher au fic which i'm trying to finish quickly

“It’ll take a lot more than that to make me break up with you.” Cody says, pulling one of the containers towards him.

“But you’re saying there is something that would make you?” Obi-Wan points at him with his spork.

“Nothing you could ever do.”

“Bet.” He says. “What if I stole from you?”

“Not a deal breaker."

“What if I killed someone?”

“I’d help you bury the body and we’d run away to Paris to escape the cops.”

He narrows his eyes. “What if I killed one of your brothers?”

Cody pauses at that.

“Aha! So you would break up with me if I killed one of your brothers?” he’s gleeful in having solved it.

“Hold on— which brother?”

I like this fic and I want it to be done so i can read it

Tagging... uno reverse to both my taggers, and then also npt for @bluemaskedkarma @loverboy-havocboy @anxiousotters @pyromanicdaydreamer @snowywinterevenings and @anaclastic-azurite

Last line challenge!! ( ´ ▽ ` )

Thank you @omaano, @insertmeaningfulusername for tagging me in this meme!! (Consider yourselves tagged back <3, and thank *you* so much! next time I will do my best to reply sooner!! <3)

Last line has been messing around with Alpha-17 eyebrow's (again).

The plan is to have a bunch of alphas from various works I really enjoyed (left to right: Angel from airlockfailure, Alpha-17, Fordo and Spar). We're 89 layers in, so let's see what the end result will look like! For now I am trying to use the prompt as an exercise in redoing things over and over again (colouring, perspective, how I draw lips/textured hair, etc). This is the third iteration. (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)

Who can I tag??? Aside from Omaano and Insertmeaningfulusernamehere I'm going to go with @brokenphoenix99, @whiskygoldwings, @anxiousotters, @airlockfailure,

and @bilbosmom-belladonna @ferretrade @bluemaskedkarma, @cacodaemonia,

as well as @korblez, @avalencias, @atimeofbeing @heliocharis @themarydragon!

and *you*! Yes, if you're reading this consider yourself tagged and let me know if you end up sharing! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

More Codywan fluff? More Codywan fluff.

Cody grins. He turns back to look at Obi-Wan, then, squinting against the sun. The picture takes Obi-Wan’s breath away. He looks so healthy now, golden in the light and filled out with the addition of real food into his diet, a single stray curl falling forward over his forehead now that his hair has been allowed to grow beyond regulation. He’s always been beautiful, Obi-Wan thinks, but now he’s radiant. “And I figured we can give the extra ones to the créches. I’m sure they could always use more soft toys, especially with the Vode littles folded in now too.”

I was tagged by @bluemaskedkarma and @brokenphoenix99. Have a little bit from a severely sleep deprived Cody whumptober fic featuring Hallucination Fox being not very nice.

“You could have investigated. You could have put an end to things much earlier. You suspected something was wrong with the Guard, knew that none of us were ourselves, but you did nothing. And now you’re here doing what? Trying to save the galaxy? You’re a joke, Cody. You’ll never manage, and you’ll never redeem yourself. Darkness has already swallowed nearly everything, and it’s going to swallow you too.” It was Fox again, and Cody shook his head violently, trying anything to banish the ghost of his dead brother.

“We have plans. We’re not going to let the Empire win.”

“If you had proper plans you’d have already defeated them, but then again, you did always think very highly of your strategies. You and Kenobi, such an arrogant pair. How many died executing your plans? I read all of the reports as they came in, you know. I saw the lists of casualties, hundreds and thousands of numbers. Do you even remember their names?”

WIP tag game

Tagged by @bluemaskedkarma, these are pulled from my most recent attempt at housecleaning files, by which I mean I’m trying to tackle older projects like the Bingo card I have or Apples’ sub!Jango collection.

Nothing of the main stuff because I have to go to other locations to hunt that down and I am out of spoons.

Rules: In a new post, post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

“Sound strategy but you gotta be quick about it or Mr Snuffles will find himself bottlenecked, outnumbered, and about to be eviscerated. More tea?”

“Yes, please and thank you. I’m sure the siege will be okay. Mr Snuffles is a brilliant strategist! And Princess Sparkleblossom is a fair and just ruler.”

“Princess Sparkleblossom is a ruthless little bi—“

Omega’s eyes widened. “I’m telling Fordo,” she whispered.

Thank you so much for the tag, @bluemaskedkarma ❤️

I should be finishing up my Bingo fills, but my last few days of work were kind of rough, so instead 😇 I am working on my longfic, giving Rebel / Purge Trooper Cody the sweetest, kindest flashback I can manage:

A memory comes to Cody then – a morning, peaceful and bright, the man he loves warm in his arms. The stillness of daybreak, and how he laid with the soothing tide of their breathing in a quiet room. The scent of Obi-Wan's skin, the softness of the fine hairs at the nape of his neck. The slant of early morning sunlight brightening his lover's eyelashes.  Under Cody's attention, Obi-Wan had woken with a fond curve to his lips, and turned. "It's early, still," he'd rasped, half-awake, "and we've nowhere to be. Sleep, darling. I'll be here when you wake."  And Cody remembers wishing that he could live forever in that golden moment. He remembers pressing a kiss to Obi-Wan's lips, slow and easy, and the contented hum he'd gotten in return, the hand against his jaw while they kissed again and again languidly in the sunlight. He'd been gentled to sleep with Obi-Wan's breath in his mouth, safe and held and cherished.

username FIC game

Heya, @bluemaskedkarma I see your "choose a song for each letter of your name" and raise you "choose a FIC for each letter of your name." It's still a "get to know me" thing, but with the bonus of boosting other fic writers. SO!

S- Stonebrook by @sl-walker (Bail saves a young Maul from prison and takes him home to Alderaan. Lots of depth to this one. Doesn't shy away from things, though later fics in the series can be funny too.)

H- The House Built on Fresh Snow by @tiend (Jango/Shmi, AU where Shmi is an engineering slave on a ship where Jango is added to the ranks. Neither could predict what happened next. It's interesting to see these two thrown together and how they complement each other.)

A- After the Storm by SpaceWall (post-war AU, everyone is struggling to move on after the war. Cody joins an agricorp mission to Mandalore and tries to cope with putting his General in a coma. Heavy stuff at times, lots of angst, but there's a hopeful ending.)

D- Dawnbreak Accord by AugustArchon (Din/Leia, Leia defends one of the Mandalorian delegates and amid paperwork and political headaches, an unexpected kinship develops. These two really click, and it's wonderful to watch it develop.)

O- Out with Lanterns by Skyebean (AU where Mace is Ahsoka's Master, how that changes things... and what it doesn't. Some fun things, some serious things, and of course O66 still happens. This time Ahsoka is in the middle of it.)

W- Why Not's and How To's by @trixree (unadulterated crack AU where Obi-Wan is a lawyer who sets his sights on emancipating the GAR. Not yet complete. SO much silliness. But also, y'know, someone fighting for Clone Rights, which is always good to see.)

M- Mand'alor Cabur by @nautilicious (slow-burn Bobadin featuring lots of foundlings, growing a family, growing a community, and growing a brain to recognize the clues. Not yet complete. Din is an absolute idiot, but luckily Boba is incredibly, incredibly patient and forgiving.)

A- All Is as the Force Wills It by felurian (Rogue One escapes Scarif by the skin of their teeth and begin the long road to recovery. Distrust and uncertainty lengthen the road, but hope remains. Some good Chirrut/Baze stuff and Bodhi angst. "Everybody lives" doesn't mean things are magically all better.)

A- and your people shall never be destroyed by @bitebackbaby (Palpatine dies. The entire Corrie Guard has disappeared. Cody and some of the other Commanders investigate. One-shot. Cliffhanger. Heavy on the Corrie whump and Commanders guilt. I'm intrigued by the possibilities left out in the open.)

T- The 212th Attack Battalion's Guide to Staging Rescues by antigrav_vector and @quarra (de-aged clones and Obi-Wan get flung into the past to Korda VI and Jaster Mereel's camp. Chaos and mass adoptions ensue. Lots of humor, lots of competence. Gosh dang did I love watching the mini-clones (and Obi-Wan) running around and being amazing.)

This shit's trickier than you think, but anyone who wants to give it a go, consider yourselves tagged!

I got tagged by @loverboy-havocboy thank you and I finally have something to share! My last line was for my tooka fic

“Go away kitty,” Cody grumbled, turning away from him and curling up on his side as his head swam.

“Mrrp.” He hopped onto Cody’s cot and walked painfully across his side, paws digging into his ribs, before crawling over onto Cody’s arms. Cody didn’t have the heart to push him away. The tooka took the lack of rejection as an enthusiastic invitation to squeeze his way under one of Cody’s arms.

A tooka can be incredibly persuasive and exhaustively persistent when they want to be, and –despite Cody’s own personal stubbornness to be left alone in the darkened quiet– soon enough the fluffy creature had burrowed into his arms to be held like a widdle baby boy.

I'm excited for this fic it's a fun time
