#but obiwan is ok with that cause he is now spending

[tennessoui]

It's a kit fic so it's wonderful but that's not a satisfying ending 😭😭😭 what happens next! I obviously read the whole thing in one sitting so I've got some thoughts. First, water titles are back! Shame on obiwan for thinking anakin would leave him. When I heard set was on a mission I knew that made more sense, I'm still surprised the council managed to talk him into leaving the temple at all. I'm surprised obiwan managed to wait so long to ask about anakin and didn't then immediately go to find him. I also need you to know i shed physical tears over those com messages. Until the end I really did think anakin was getting the sent ones just cause of how caught up in obiwans perspective I was. The dream at the beginning of chapter 9 got me teared up too and the emptiness obiwan has when he thinks anakin is dead. That's probably enough rambling thoughts, but what happens next 🥺 they were just getting to realize how much they love each other

ahhh thank you I’m glad you were very excited for the fic!!

(in-depth spoilers beneath the cut)

I feel like anakin’s motivations while obi-wan is asleep are interesting because he really should probably go do something else, this isn’t healthy and he probably recognizes that. He’s also only 17 and then only 18 and then only 19 so he’s a baby. I think he definitely learns to trust vos as a stand-in, temporary master, and so when vos brings this career path up to him out of concern for him, he says yes - thinking as well at the time that he can just come back whenever obi-wan does wake up. And I can definitely picture anakin thinking that if he goes on a solo mission to the outer rim and aces it as a spymaster and obi-wan wakes up, obi-wan will be sooooo impressed with him and will absolutely see him as older and more mature (and more attractive and more romantically compatible, etc)

as for Obi-Wan not contacting anakin sooner or leaving to go find him, he probably regrets it a little! but it just wasn’t that sort of story 😊 for one, he’s physically very weak and in recovery after waking up and in no position to go out looking for anakin; for another, he’s trying respect what he thinks is anakins wish for space from the Jedi. He has his commlink frequency and if anakin wanted to talk to him, he’d respond to his message. And that ties in to the fact that their relationship before the coma isn’t great - he probably thinks anakin really does want space from him specifically. They were in the rocky period of anakin’s teen years (where anakin is very moody and obi-wan doesn’t really know why but it’s definitely because anakin wants to be treated as an adult and also cause he has feelings for his master)

as far as what happens next, I’m not sure! I know it’s a bit more open-ended than any of my other fics, but I spent a whole lot of time in the fic writing about how everything was wrong because they weren’t together (obi-wan is a withdrawn character who misuses the Force and can’t confide in any other Jedi, he’s too overly emotional and attached to anakin; anakin is…well, Vader) and so it felt right to end it at the moment where they’re together again and have reached some level of honesty/understanding - because if they’re together, everything will be alright in counterpoint to when they’re apart.

I suppose they return vos to the council with a little note saying who Sidious is so that can wrap up the clone wars because obiwan does have a conscience still. Then they. Fuck off to some distant corner of the galaxy for a bit for cuddles and kisses and falling in love

Things Anakin would/wouldn’t do as a force ghost.

So I’m gonna go out on a lim here and say force ghosts can do stuff in the living world if it doesn’t affect or cause the future. Like he can knock a vase onto Hans foot but he can’t cause/end a war (because that’s op and what the holy shit?!?!)

Anyway, 1. He would never ever do anything that puts his children in harms way.

He’s been through a lot as Darth Vader, but that was ten years ago. He still won’t do anything that hurts Leia or Luke because (even though they love him) he did hurt them quite a bit through Vader.

Ok number 2! Cause. Chaos.

Ahsoka is back at the main New Republic (as in not at that planet, Din rescued her?) here she finds Rex and though his force ghost and her talked a lot on Corvus, now they plan to execute said ideals in the most chaotic way possible. Heheh ✨💥🧨

Task 3! Annoy Han and Leia and Din and Luke,

Anakin doesn’t exactly agree with Luke or Leias choices. (If you ship Mara x Luke, think of it has him dating… idk AN EX SITH?!?!?) (and if it’s SkySolo you’re after then think of it as sharing Han Solo and like- “he’s a smuggler Luke!!” “Was!!”)

If Han and Leia fight you best believe that he’s gonna take the side of his lil princess and possibly force-pull a chandelier on top of Han - or right in front of him so as to not kill him.

Din was a Mandalorian, literally trained to kill. What Anakin doesn’t know (or maybe a fact he simply chooses to ignore) is that Din would kriffing DIE for Luke, he loves him too much and would never ever let him down. But if Anakin finds them with his Dins hands on Lukes waist he’s either gonna:

A. Sigh and ignore them (unlikely babe.)

B. Or stand there until Luke gives him the metal middle finger and THEN (oh boy) THEN there’ll be HELL to pay!!

And Finally! 4

You best believe Anakins bisexual ass is gonna be spending time with both Obiwan and Padme, are either of them gonna know? Probably. He isn’t subtle.

i’m so in love with the couple’s counselling au. it is already an all time favorite of mine - everything about it is so good. the little holiday fic breaks my heart so much, poor obiwan oh my god i want to chop a lock of anakin’s hair and braid it and give it to obiwan. obiwan 🥺

ok but real talk couples counseling au Anakin probably agonizes over how he can make this better well past their trip to Alderaan he’s like constantly thinking about it he’s giving himself stress ulcers because he hurt obi-wan so bad !! and he can never take it back !!!

I think it culminates with anakin finding a very beautiful gold and copper braided bracelet and spending all his Jedi credits on it (and some of padme’s credits as well but it’s for a good cause she would support he thinks!!!) and carving little tokens to hang from its loosest links, each token corresponding with a mission they went on together once anakin became a Knight, to symbolize how maybe he can’t ever give him the padawan braid, but obi-wan’s influence in his life extends past his apprenticeship—they’re braided together, equals now, facing their greatest challenges and most celebrated victories together, see, master? Look this one is the gundark nest I fished you out of!!

and of course he gives it to obi-wan on the anniversary of the day he was Knighted, and obi-wan (sniffling, incredibly touched) is like “will you ever let the damn gundark nest go anakin???”
