Dark Scandalore au

Okay so I’m too tired to write a full fic and also tumblr has already swallowed this post once, but I want to get down some thoughts about sad scandalore.

- at the beginning it goes much like it did in canon. The Council gets Satine’s message for Obi Wan and are like, “we can’t interfere isn’t an internal matter.” Obi Wan goes anyway.

- he’s concerned because he asked Satine to be careful, but not high key worried yet because he doesn’t know about Maul.

- on the way there in the Twilight he tries to contact Korkie because he knows he’s running with the Nite Owls, but can’t get through. He figures it will work out anyway.

- from there it goes much the same, he steals Death Watch armor, breaks Satine out, they try to leave in the Twilight, it is explodes and maul shows up.

- they get dragged to the throne room and his worry goes up a few notches, but still he’s been through so much and survived all of it and he thinks- he really thinks they’ll make it out okay.

- then maul starts his spiel, chokes Satine and pulls out the dark saber. This is when Obi Wan realizes one of them isn’t going to make it.

- he tries to goad maul into attacking him instead, hoping that he can keep the collateral damage to a minimum, but it doesn’t really work because though maul has a temper, he sees right through Obi Wan right now.

- don’t make me say it.

- okay, so we know what happens next, Satine dies. Her confession goes slightly differently because they are married not just pining from afar, but she still thinks it would b good to remind him that she loves him.

- that’s when it hits. The Dark. He doesn’t Fall, no, he’s not the type, but it’s a closer call than it was in canon (not that it was super close, but you get what I mean). He’s so angry with Maul for what he’s done, he’s grieving, he’s terrified of having to tell Korkie what happened…. it’s a bad time for Obi.

- he pushes it back, reminds himself of his training and tries to breathe through the /pain/ he’s feeling.

- ( he remembers Anakin asking him why he needed the twilight, offering to come along, and his own refusal because he didn’t want to get Anakin in trouble, because two Jedi acting together is less forgivable in the eyes of the Council and Senate than one, and he /regrets/ )

- he’s dragged out by the death watch and saved by the Nite Owls. Korkie is with them. Obi Wan dreads telling him, but he does, finds a moment, because his son deserves to know what happened. He hears a quiet gasp from the people around them, and Bo-Katan turns away from them, grieving.

- he’s afraid Korkie will blame him (force knows he blames himself) but Korkie just looks unbelievably sad, like when he was a little kid and they told him why he couldn’t call Obi Wan “Dad” in public.

- they hold each other for a moment and try not to cry because now is not the time, now it is time to escape. Obi Wan tries to convince Korkie to leave Mandalore with them, but Korkie is his fathers son and he won’t leave people behind who need him. Besides where in the galaxy could he go?

- so obi wan leaves. He pilots a course back to Coruscant, makes himself a cup of tea, and then he falls out of battle mode and has nothing to distract him from what has happened.

- in canon I think he held it together, maybe shed a few tears, but he reminded himself of all he’s learned and pushes it down deep.

- in this au, oh he breaks. He loved his wife dearly and now she’s gone, at the hands of his old enemy and he /breaks/

- he makes it back to the Temple, where he is scolded harshly but the Council, though it doesn’t know the truth, knows he cared about Satine and let’s him go off to his apartment, figuring he can meditate on her death and move on.

- He walks numbly through the Temple and considers. He’s always figured he’d leave the Order one day, when the war is over and they don’t need him as much, but now, where would he go? And so he realizes he can’t let on how much he cared for Satine because it will ruin the only thing he has left going for him.

- Anakin is in his apartment when he gets there, and that was not anticipated, he thought he’d be able to be alone again. Instead, he makes a pot of tea, hands shaking as he pours Anakin a cup, and Anakin can tell something’s off but he doesn’t know what.

- Obi Wan’s voice breaks when he tells Anakin what happens. (Must fix that, he thinks, and he does, repeating the fact that Satine is dead later that night over and and over until he can say the words without emotion.)

- Anakin doesn’t know the whole truth yet, but he knows Obi Wan cared and he’s a good friend, offering him whatever he needs. Obi Wan says he would like some space.

- he spends the rest of the evening trying to meditate, but this familiar action is little comfort now though it does help a little. He just can’t seem to focus!

- that night he lies down to go to sleep and he can’t. He knows why. He’s spent countless nights alone because of the situation they’re in, but he has had nights where he missed Satine and wanted to be with her. He usually holocalled her and talked with her and that helped, but there is no comfort now.

- the next day is even worse because he’s gotten little to no sleep and everyone know he went on an unsanctioned mission to save his friend and failed, and are offering their remorse over the death of his “friend.” It’s the only time he feels like a proper grieving husband- a widower, he realizes with another pang

- he blames himself. Maybe if he hadn’t married her none of this wouldn’t have happened. If he hadn’t been so obvious with his emotions Maul wouldn’t have killed her (he’s wrong, even if they’d stayed apart this still would have happened, but there’s no one to tell him that.)

- everyone can tell he’s not dealing with this the way a Jedi is supposed to deal with losing a friend (and there’s a reason for that, he’s dealing with this as a man who lost his wife). Weeks later and he still looks like death warmed over. No one can get him to talk about it except Anakin. So everyone goes to him with their concerns.

- Anakin confronts him one day, and Obi Wan tells him the truth. Anakin is shocked and horrified. Obi Wan thinks the latter is because Obi Wan has revealed himself to be a hypocrite but Anakin’s soft “you lost your wife?” a moment later proves that to be untrue. Obi Wan expects Anakin to tell the Council and for him to be kicked out of the Order, but he can’t seem to bring himself to care right now. He needs his friend to help him.

- Anakin refuses to say a word to anyone about what he and Obi Wan talked about that day, but everyone agrees it helped. That doesn’t mean it’s over though.

- /everything/ reminds him of her, even things that reasonably shouldn’t, but she’s never far from his mind these days. He finds himself trying not to cry at the strangest times and his mind feels blurred, like he’s staring at the world through a curtain.

- eventually he’s reassigned to the field, and the 212th can tell something’s up, and they have an inkling what it is.

- Obi Wan holds himself tighter and looks a little colder and fights just a touch too hard until one day Cody sits him down and admits that he knew Obi Wan and Satine were involved. Obi Wan gets a chance to talk about Satine to someone for once because all the Jedi expect him to push it aside, but the clones have no such qualms.

- and he probably talks to Padme about it too because like, they’re friends and she knew Satine and it helps

- I can’t decide if this makes Anakin easier to turn or harder, because Anakin and Obi Wan are closer here, so making Anakin think of Obi Wan as an enemy is harder, but also, Anakin has now seen what it did to his friend to lose his wife, felt just a part of his pain through their bond and its worse than he imagined and he’ll do anything to avoid that.

And yeah. That’s my thoughts. ;) @forcearama how do like my twisting of your happy au? I know Star Wars doesn’t need any help to be sad, but like, when the opportunity arrives take it.

Star Wars and the Holonet

We all know the hilarity of Scandalore and Coruscant Clickbait but...

Can you guys imagine an AU timeline, where all our favorites are alive and everything is good and jolly? And the paparazzi is everywhere?

Like - the Jedi Council becoming masters of decpection, because seeing a Jedi out and about on Coruscant is worth so much? (Bonus if it's one of the Skywalker's or Ahsoka Tano or Mace Windu - he never leaves the Temple).

Anakin and Obi-Wan constantly trashing each other, selling the most ridiculous stories for credits. Their respective partners spending far too much time talking to news outlets and smoothing things over?

Everyone eagerly witnesses our favorite Senator and Jedi knight with their kiddos (which must have their faces blurred out, because Padmé will not have her children's image plastered all over the Galaxy). Photos of the two kissing in public quickly become worthless because they do it so frickin often

Obi-Wan and Satine, on the other hand, rarely hold hands in public. Photos of them being within ten centimeters of each other are worth a fortune.

Quinlan often adds fuel to outrageous rumors - whilst doing some ridiculous stunt. "Yep, Anakin and Obi are in love. Master Windu is really a Sith Lord. We keep our ancient texts on Mustafar. Darth Maul is immortal. There are Force-sensitive droids. The Clones are really Jedi younglings that were never chosen as padawans."

It becomes Galatic scandal when the Jedi remove the 'ban' on marriage. Also when Korkie says casually, "Yeah, Kenobi's my dad. Next question?" Now that's a fun one to explain to the Council.

There are tours of flagships, because everyone is so curious to see the ships that helped protect so many planets during the war. There are also interviews with very uncomfortable clone troopers - though Fives loves it and trolls everyone else. (Because he didn't die :)

When Leia becomes a Senator (she represents Tatooine) everyone is appalled how much of a temper she has. She looks like Padmé, yes - but she is certainly Anakin's daughter. Every guy she dates becomes newsworthy, especially when Han Solo comes into the picture and refuses to leave.

Everyone tends to forget about Luke, though he's usually beside Anakin or Obi-Wan, quietly observing and only speaking when it is necessary. There's a video of Chancellor Mon Motha jumping and yelling at Luke, who was convinced to sneak up on her at a state dinner. No one knows who convinced him (it was Yoda).

Mara Jade and the Emporer's hand kids are eventually discovered, and it shakes the galaxy to the core. Sidious sympathizers drop significantly, escpially when Mara teams up with Luke and spreads the tales of her upbringing.

But there's a dark side too, because everyone is so intrigued by the Jedi and associates. They have virtually no privacy. So the Jedi counteract this, talking passionately about ending civil wars, tax reforms, women's/species rights, putting an end to slavery, breaking up sex trafficking. (Anakin and Aayla are the ones most passionate about the last topic, for obvious reasons. Depa, Shaak, and pretty much every female member of the Jedi Order are soon to follow.)

Tatooine is the first planet to be completely liberated.

A good chunk of Mandalorians realize they're Force Sensitive, and it's delicious irony when they come crawling to the Jedi for help.

Jedi outreach programs begin on Outer-Rim planets, providing education to those who would not have it otherwise. Former Separatist planets help with these, as they respected the Jedi and their education program (because Dooku always seemed so well-educated).

What else did I miss?
