MINORS DNI 18+

PADMÉ AMIDALA can't help herself. She's truly tried. Known as a pillar of resolution and patience, she cannot deny her desires any longer. As her husband, ANAKIN SKYWALKER, softly snores in the sanctity of their bed. He trusts her, trusts her enough to share his most intimate secrets, and most sacred body parts whenever she so pleases to have them.

Much to his dismay, she constantly refuses the offer, as if she would be taking advantage of him while he's unconscious, instead of seeing it how it is. He's given her permission to freely use him, no matter the time or place. The ache between her legs is too great, and she scales her mental obstacle. Nimble fingers graze his hot skin, watching him shudder as the night air hits him while his covers slide down his form. Hiking up her nightgown, she mounts him, gently rocking her naked sex over the mound in his thin black pants. Flaccid and at the ready to bend to her whims, it hardens quick from her recognizable ministrations.

A delicate crease appears on his strong brows, and it urges her to kiss them out of endearment. When his hips instinctively lift to meet hers, she seizes the opportunity to free him from the confines of his pants. His eager length springing out, enthusiastically greeting her, brings a kind smile to her face. Her hand comes to cradle it, sweetly massaging his swollen head until his parted lips release breathy and stuttering noises, intensifying when she invites herself onto him. Her wet heat slides down every inch, enveloping him in pleasurable comfort so deep he stirs from his slumber. It's not often he sleeps through anything, and his wife's quiet prowess to keep him complacent as she maneuvered him into appropriate positioning surprises him.

"Is my little wife so needy?"

Day 4 - Life and Death (And everything in between)

Day 4 of Star Wars Culture Week is about all the major life events--including death--that are celebrated in almost every culture one can think of, real or fictional. This means courtship and dating, romance, marriage, birth, a life-well lived (or not) and the funerals that punctuate the end of a life or legacy.

From funeral pyres to dances to year-long mourning periods, from first Life Days to naming ceremonies, and from flirting to proposals, we have found endless ways to communicate the importance of these events. We’re excited to see what you’ve all got planned for today!

365 days ago, I posted ch. 1 of All’s Fair in Love & Politics, and what a ride it has been since joining the Anidala community (and then others), writing fic, sharing with you all, meeting great people and people I’m sure will be a part of my life from now until the rest of forever. Fandom has its flaws, but boy, can the benefits really outweigh the worst days.

I will have something up before the end of the night to celebrate the anniversary, but I wanted to come on a little earlier to thank anyone and everyone that’s been a part of the journey.

From me to you, all the love and gratitude in the world. Thank you for sticking by all of my crazy little ideas. And to many, many more.

there’s a reason for anidala and that was 10 years of trying to possess the version of her he made up in his head :/

i actually think anakin would be highly vulnerable to parasocial relationships

like i wouldn't even let him watch youtube probably

[cypanache]

B, D, and S for the ask meme!

For the fandom ask game

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

Already answered here

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice)

Anidala. I have gained an honest appreciation for them just through my own journey of getting to know Padme as a writer. Much as Obi-Wan's relationship with Anakin is intrinsic to my understanding of him as a character, so is Padme's love for Anakin. If I'm going to write obidala in any universe, the first question I ask myself is how do I address the 'Anakin of it all'. So in wanting to handle them as respectfully as possible in my own writing, in a way that feels authentic to the character I really, really wish I enjoyed Anidala as a standalone ship more. I have gained a lot of insight into both Obi-Wan and Anakin and added layers to my versions of both characters through my capacity enjoy Obikin. There are some truly great writers out there for them who constantly challenge me to think about their dynamic from new angles. I am dead certain there are equally talented writers for Anidala and I could learn a lot about both characters if I enjoyed standalone fic for them more.

Unfortunately, I think the problem is I'm not sure that the things I love about Padme are the things Anakin loves about Padme and vis versa. As a result I must content myself with the great fic out there in the OT3 realm and the discourse I see on tumblr to help challenge, inform and layer my own understanding of them as couple.

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

May I direct your attention to the 30k+ of headcanon I am subjecting all of you to in the form of fic?

Honest to god, that's all 'A Trap of Your Own Making' is. Just me and my little personal headcanon attempting to bob and weave through the minefield of the SW universe.

On a more general note a few head canons that commonly show up as I shape story ideas anytime I'm working with these two:

Padme had some type of crush on Obi-Wan pre-Anakin. I play with the intensity and the duration depending on the story, and context.

Obi-Wan and Padme had/have a friendship/relationship that existed separate from Anakin. Again the timing of this relationship, context, and intensity moves a little. But I take it as canon, that both of them hold each other in a regard that stands separate an apart from simply being Anakin's Master/Brother/Best Friend; and Anakin's Crush/Lover/Not So Secret Wife

As a result of that relationship, Obi-Wan developed feelings for Padme that at the very least walked right up to the line of platonic. Whether and when he acknowledged those feelings (if ever). What he did or would have done as a result. And whether they were ever reciprocated entirely flexible. But really, let's be honest he would have done nothing. He would have lied to himself forever.

But since I'm guessing with 'prompts optional' piece, what you were really asking for was a fic excerpt, right? Okay, since Trap is just all my obidala headcanons shoved in one fic. Here we go, very rough cut of the opening section of Chapter 6 of Trap. Under the cut for "spoilers"

trap excerpt - ch 6

It take three days for the panel hearing the case against Gunray to return a verdict of guilty, and less than two hours for his advocates to file notice appeal. Padme struggles to maintain her composure as she listens to the Republic prosecutors explain that given circumstances Gunray will likely be released on his own recognizance while the appeal progresses through the courts.

Finally, her anger gets the better of her and she stands, cutting off the senior prosecutor mid-sentence.

"Well it seems this exercise has proved entirely pointless. Tell me gentlemen, what precisely is the point of having a law of the Republic if one may by virtue of having a sufficient number of credits, continue to avoid the exercise of those laws indefinitely?"

Doesn't bother staying to hear their answer. There's nothing they could say anyhow.

On their way out, she instructs Corde to see to their departure within the day. Anakin returned planet-side the day after the defense rested. Obi-Wan's been unavailable ever since, and she finds Coruscant has lost much of its luster in his absence.

There's nothing for her here anymore.

--

She forces herself to wait until they have at least left the surface before finally giving into the impulse to comm him. Holds her breath waiting for the signal to connect, and tries not to read to much into it when the link is declined.

He warned her she would never be the priority. She can hardly fault him for the fact this proves true.

--

There's a message waiting for her when she returns from reviewing the recommendations from her advisors regarding what Gunray's appeal means for Naboo's ongoing dealings with the Trade Federation going forward.

I heard. I'm so sorry.

She cries when she reads it. Locks herself in her cabin, puts her back against the door and sobs. Screams. Rages. Let's herself feel it all for the first time in years. Let's herself be weak with it, irrational about it, because for the first time in forever she feels like she can.

And it's so stupid. Because it's nothing really. Just words. Just five simple words. Probably dashed off with barely thought. Five, simple, stupid, wonderful words that mean there's someone out there who cares about nothing more complicated or consequential than how she's doing. Not the intricacies or the implications. Not the fallout or response. Not Naboo, or even Amidala, really. Just her. Just Padme.

Which makes it everything.

“Come to my attention, it has, that an incorrect Code has been taught to Jedi Younglings,” Yoda said. “Emulates the Balance, this new Code does not. Led astray, one may be, I fear if misunderstand, they do.” There was a silence at Yoda’s words. The other Jedi Masters in the room looked at each other.

“I don’t understand what you mean, Master Yoda.”

Heads Up 7 Up!

I was tagged by @mrsmungus and ironically just finished a really nice writing section to have for sharing.

No pressure tags: @pluttskutt @kaiusvnoir @mjjune @0nelittlebirdtoldme @mikaharuka + open tag!

Another bit of irony, but here's my own of holiday fake dating Anidala goodness, though things are going quite differently than they are for Tiva!

From The Favor, ch. 3:

“Mom and dad put you two on the far end. Darred and I said we were fine taking up the room next to grandma in case she needed something in the middle of the night. Didn’t want anything to interrupt you two.” Anakin’s face was bright red when he snapped his head up to look at Padmé. His eyes pleading for her to say something, anything, to her sister so he wouldn't have to. Be cool, she mouthed at him. “We… Certainly appreciate it, though you didn’t have to go to the trouble. Whatever grandma could possibly need, Anakin and I would’ve been more than—” Her mom’s hand came down on her own from across the table. “You’re the ones on vacation. And after the short notice, and Artoo, honestly, dear. It’s fine.” “Well, if you insist…” Anakin replied as if he were actually thinking it over. “I wouldn’t want to disappoint anyone, so the end of the hall it is for us. Right, babe?” “Right,” she said with a hesitant nod. Babe? Add that to the list of things she was going to shake him over. Her dad grumbled again at that remark but he would be okay, she thought. A little hypothetical PDA wasn’t going to kill him. Though the thought of her doing that with Anakin may be enough to scar her for life…
