a series of fics in which Obi Wan Kenobi having a disability somehow saves the galaxy
behold, my magnum opus
#1. Iviin’hiibi te Tuur- 16k, 11 chapters, complete (+ongoing bonus works)
Obi Wan has never resented the seizures he's experienced, not exactly, but he wasn't particularly fond of them either.
(And then they save the galaxy.)
#2. Uja Nejah - 34k, 28 chapters, complete
Obi Wan was diagnosed with diabetes a few months after his return from Melida/Daan. The Healers assured him it would only have minor impacts on his life and wouldn't change much for him. It does, but it somehow works out all the better in the end because of it.
#3. Gev’or’dayc O’r - 62k, 30 chapters, complete
After an attempt on Obi Wan’s life leaves him in a precarious state, and the clones concerned about the person trying to finish the job, they make a significant decision that involves the entirety of the 212th faking their deaths, disappearing into wild space, and working tirelessly to help their General get better. While Anakin and Ahsoka are investigating the attempted assassination, Obi Wan has to come to terms with the possibility he might not get better from this, and what his life will look like if that’s the case.
#4. Mirsh’prudiise - 45k, 19 chapters, complete
Obi Wan is diagnosed with psychosis after Melida/Daan.
When he returned, he was cracked, portions of him split from other pieces, reflected in mirrors, distant. There were other things in him, when he got back. Things that were not him, that he now had to carry around, weighing on him heavily.
#5. Nor’taakur be Beskar - 47k, 23 chapters, complete
Months before the clones are discovered, before the outbreak of war, before Geonosis and everything that occurs therein, Obi Wan is seriously injured in a speeder crash. He still finds his way to the front lines and the galaxy is better for it.
#6. Urakto Videkir - 2.5k, 1 chapter, complete (future work forthcoming)
Obi Wan realizes he's quite forgotten to tell the troopers he doesn't eat by mouth. Surely this will not come back to haunt him later (said no one ever).
#7. The only thing strong enough to kick my ass is me - 5k, 1 chapter, complete (likely to be future works)
Obi Wan assumed the joint paint was part of getting older, of using his saber for endless hours while fighting a war in exhausting conditions. He certainly didn't think there was anything else going on.
#8. Cinar’tal Or’baar - 9k, 2 chapters, complete
An unexpected complication throws a wrench into the chronic illness Obi Wan has been coping with for years. Further complications arise, naturally, because nothing in his life can be easy.
#9. Irud bal Motuun - 5.5k, 3/26 chapters, WIP
When Anakin abandoned Obi Wan on Geonosis, leaving him to to fight Dooku on his own, both he and the galaxy are forever changed.
Based on the excellent art of @charrhylis

thinking about obi-wan with a prosthetic eye. all the different designs he would have. a sun one for the 212th that he gets early in the war after the troopers realise one of his eyes is customisable and wears for most of the rest of it. a see through one that scares the hell out of anyone he doesn't tell in advance and he finds it funny every time. a sparkly star shaped one for events where he wants to feel cute. a yellow sith one he used to use to fuck with everyone when he was a teenager.
the possibilities are absolutely endless
#listen obi-wan is a prankster at heart and i fully believe he would use a prosthetic of any kind to prank as many people as possible#but also there are many cute and fun possibilities#this au has taken over my brain for a few days i may have to draw it#obi wan kenobi#disabled obi wan kenobi#star wars

Happy Disability Pride fellow spoonies!
As always: mind the tags!!
Push through (until you break) by @guildofscribes
Oneshot | 1,6K | Obi-Wan, Anakin, Cody
Next to Anakin's ease and power within the Force, none of the clones realize just how far General Kenobi is pushing himself to keep up. It's war. And he'll do what he must. Until he can't.
Memories awash with colour by QuickSilverFox3
Chapters: 2 | 4,4K | Cody/Obi-Wan
There is a Spring Festival on Coruscant meant to remember when the city overtook everything and what they had all lost because of it. Obi-Wan and Cody never manage to see it, but they spend the time together regardless.
No words needed by jack_a_rose
Oneshot | 2,8K | Cody/Obi-Wan & the 212th Attack Battalion
“It really doesn’t bother me, my dear,” Obi-Wan lied through his teeth, struggling to sit upright on the bed in the medbay after his most recent injury. His arm was in a sling so he couldn’t sign, and Cody could see the frustration in his eyes with every instinctive move to lift his arm, “I have spent years not hearing, it is as much a part of me as my lightsaber is, it’s part of who I am. Yes, my implant allows me to hear and yes, sometimes I do miss the voices of my loved ones, but I am used to it.”
“But you shouldn’t have to be,” Cody signed as he spoke, letting out a sigh, “you chose to get the implant for a reason, to have the choice to hear. And that choice has been taken from you.” “You do not need to worry about me, dear,” Obi-Wan said, reaching out with his uninjured hand to place it on Cody’s knee.
Cody just shook his head and smiled sadly. “I always worry about you, cyare.”
a quiet tapestry by lux_arcana
Oneshot | 2,9K | Obi-Wan & Quinlan
The war had broken Obi-Wan, but he was alive.
Sometimes that was enough.
(Or: The impact of Obi-Wan's strained relationship with the Force after the end of the Clone Wars)
instead i took care of you by CallToMuster
Oneshot | 2K | Obi-Wan & Service Animal Boga & Ahsoka
When Obi-Wan opened his eyes again, he was on the ground and he couldn’t remember how he got there.
[Or: many decades after the successful ending of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan is still struggling, in ways both old and new.]
heavy off a golden hue by catboydogma
Series | Cody/Obi-Wan (Rex & Qui-Gon)
“And there are some, like me,” Obi-Wan said, voice softening against his will, “who relapse. And relapse. And… and it never quite leaves. I’m afraid I’m rather susceptible to the kind of emotional distress that the flowers thrive in. There is so much love to be had in the galaxy, and I can’t help but… even when it hurts. Perhaps especially when it hurts. I let it get ahold and it’s chronic at this point. Even if I never loved again, I will always have… this.” He spread a hand over his own chest and already, he could feel the stuttering slip of petals and leaves threatening. He kept his breathing slow and shallow, and the threat passed—for now.
Heliotropism by wobblycompetencies
Oneshot | 15K | Poe/Luke (Rey & Wedge Antilles & Mace)
“Really,” he said, to underline the point, because Poe was looking a little doubtful. “I’m in no rush here. Whatever you want to do, or not do, is fine. I’m just...enjoying spending time with you.”
"I’m not in a rush, exactly, I just want – " Poe normally was able to state his mind with little angst or uncertainty; now, he looked faintly exasperated with himself. "I do want to find out what I still can do. Not all at once, though. And I don't know what it’ll look like, or – or how long it's gonna take for me to get there."
Luke reached for Poe's hand where it was drumming restlessly on the tabletop, and squeezed it reassuringly. "Find out together?"
Ni haa'taylir ner'st o'r gar (I see myself in you) by foreverchangingfandoms
Oneshot | 11K | Obi-Wan & Tholme (Qui-Gon, Quinlan, Bant, Vokara)
On a mission, Obi-Wan is seriously injured in a way that could change his life forever. Whilst healing, he finds help from his friend's Master and the one Jedi who understands how he feels.
look after you by piqu3d
Oneshot | 2.2K | Obi-Wan/Cody & Luke & Leia
He’s sitting in his chair, legs turned irreparably inwards leading to knobby knees covered by a loose blanket. The cannula in his nostrils is slightly crooked on its way to the tank attached to his chair. There are pale purple circles under his eyes, and wrinkles wear at his skin around his eyes and his nose. His hair, stringy with sweat, drapes against his pale forehead. His lopsided smile rests on chapped lips, and his hands are lightly trembling where they hover over his lap.
He’s the most beautiful person Cody’s ever seen.
if it's quite alright by piqu3d
Oneshot | 2.2K | Obi-Wan & Leia (minor codywan)
“Obi-Wan,” Cody’s voice filters from the cracks between Leia’s fingers, and Obi-Wan wants to sob. His heart keens at the phantom touches on his shoulders and around his waist as he listens to Cody’s steady, low voice. “Obi-Wan, it’s alright.”
A forced chuckle rips its way from behind his teeth. “Alright, is it?”
Cody’s response is a buzz over the wireless connection: “It’s going to be. You have Leia. Fulcrum and her charge are alive. Just breathe, Kenobi.”
Not Her by dieFabuliererin
Chapters: 23 | 76k | Ahsoka-centric | Padmé/Anakin (Obi-Wan & Ahsoka & Anakin & Cast)
A white-hot warning flashes through the Force, and Ahsoka jumps to the rooftop without hesitating. Whatever Obi-Wan's reason for not defending himself, she can't allow the sniper to kill him. She wouldn't be able to live with herself.
Incapacitation by whitchry9
Oneshot | 3K | Obi-Wan & Stim (medic oc) & Cody
Neuromuscular incapacitation: the disruption of nerve and muscle function by a targeted electrical stimulus.
Or, Obi Wan gets shocked repeatedly, and the aftereffects are... many.
Speak No Word (Hear No Sound) by TemporaryUniverse
Oneshot | 6K | Obi-Wan & Ahsoka and Anakin and Boga
Ahsoka wasn't sure what she was getting into when she was assigned to Master Kenobi and sent to the front lines. She didn't even know he was deaf.
Being captured together gives them the chance to get to know each other a little more. For better or worse.
dancer in the dark by catboydogma
Chapters: 3 | 10K | Cody/Obi-Wan & Dooku & Anakin
“Fuck,” Obi-Wan said. “Anakin, what’s Bly’s last name?” Anakin blue-screened for a moment. “Uh…”
“Fuck,” Obi-Wan said again, sliding ungracefully off the boards with a thump and putting his back to the door. “Is that—tell me that’s not Bly’s father, Anakin.” Good God, he’d never live this down.
“No,” Anakin said after a moment squinting first at the door, then Obi-Wan. A tangled mess of sound was echoing through the room as the newcomers greeted Bly and vice versa, all deep voices with light accenting—Māori, Obi-Wan remembered, slightly giddy. It was a Māori accent, because—“That’s his brother,” Anakin told Obi-Wan. “Cody—”
“Cody Fett,” Obi-Wan said, clutching his cup a little tighter and steadfastly refusing to look over his shoulder. “He’s brothers with Cody Fett, former Olympic gold medalist and—oh, God.“

anakin is tired. chronic pain before vader. He is a horrible person as Vader, with constant pain. Do you think Anakin would have stayed sith if he wasnt disabled so badly on Mustafar? He had already committed atrocities but the comics showed he did have the temptation towards good. I'm disabled, so I wonder a lot for myself what I would really do. Chronic pain fucks one up and not even coming from growing up w no autonomy, that does a number. but does it change things?

Long Post about Savage Opress because I am Normal
Savage Opress, you are everything.
You are at your strongest when you are fighting to protect the people you love. You had to participate in a battle royale and subjected yourself to a fate worse than death in order to protect your brother. You were forced to kill the brother you fought so hard to protect, your last words to him as he begged for his life were 'You make (me) weak'.
You are Frankenstein's monster, a kinslayer. You just have to live with that. Your mistress isn't giving you a choice in the matter.
You were placed under the control of a cruel master/mistress twice in the span of like a week. You were forced to betray your master and (under your mistress's orders) you killed two jedi, making you an enemy of the two most powerful entities in the galaxy. You made these enemies against your own will. You were lightning spammed and abused to the point that you were able to break free of your mistress's control.
You are then attacked by these two random jedi you have never met. They seem intent on bringing you in. They stand besides each other and fight to protect each other. You are reminded of how you did the same for your own brother. You killed that brother.
You run to the only home you've ever known, the same home that treated you as lesser-than and transformed you into what you are now. Your home is destroyed, all of your sisters are dead. You are upset by this. They were the cause of your suffering, but they were still kin.
You are told that you have a remaining brother, one who can make you strong enough to protect yourself. You decide to travel across the galaxy to find him. You killed your last brother, you will do anything for this one.
You seem to create trouble everywhere you are now. You are now incapable of solving problems without violence, so violence is what you become. You become hatred. You had love once, but everything that you loved is dead. Except for your remaining brother. You do whatever you must to find him.
You find your brother. Your brother is delirious and half-dead, but he is your brother and you found him. You can fix this. Your brother sees you too, or at least he sometimes does. You are a reflection of him, of what he was meant to be. You are strong and powerful. Your brother is not anymore, but he will be soon.
Your mother, the same woman who took you and warped you into a monster (that is what everybody calls you now), fixes your brother. Your brother grabs your face and twists it, painfully examining your every pore. You don't begrudge him this. You have done the same to it. Your face isn't yours, but it is the only face you have.
Your brother screams for vengeance against Kenobi, he must have revenge. You must stand by your brother, he is all that is left. You embark on a quest of vengeance against a man you only briefly met.
You become everything your brother needs you to be. You are his protector, his sword, his second-in-command. You have love again and you will do anything to keep it this time.
Your brother is a terrible person. Your brother will massacre a village for the sake of getting Kenobi's attention. Your living brother is nothing like the one you killed. You aren't sure this is a good thing.
Your brother lures Kenobi to the village and you both capture him. Your mistress shows up and immediately sets about belittling you. You are the monster she and your mother created. You are not her thrall anymore, you can fight her now. You do exactly that.
Your mistress and Kenobi retreat, your brother chooses to bide his time. You will wait with him.
Your brother and you infiltrate a ship, finding a fortune of credits. You are happy with this, you have never seen this much money in your life. Your brother's only fortune is the downfall of Kenobi.
Your brother calls you apprentice, decides that is what your relationship is now. You don't see the need for dominance, you are brothers after all. Your brother disagrees and you will subject yourself to this for your brother's sake. You are a reflection of him, of all his past flaws. You are devoted to those you love and able to feel things other than vindictive glee or hatred. Your brother is not anymore, he might never be again.
You think your brother is incapable of love. You love him all the same.
You and your brother next run into Kenobi with another Jedi Master. You do not know her name nor anything about her. You kill her, goring her with your (far larger than they should be) horns and running her through with your lightsaber. Your master is not forcing your hand this time, you can finally choose to make an enemy of the Jedi. You would have been their enemy either way, but the false choice is comforting regardless.
You and your brother corner Kenobi. You think for a moment that you have gotten the upper-hand, then Kenobi cuts your arm off. Your body leaks green magic. Your mother's magic still holds power over you even after everything. You wish it didn't.
Your brother shoves Kenobi away from you and decides to retreat. You aren't sure if this is a sign of affection towards you or if this is a strategic move. Your brother speaks as if it's the latter. You see no reason to believe otherwise.
You manage to escape, but are left adrift in space. You are freezing and slowly running out of oxygen. Your home was warm and full of breatheable air. You are alone with only a brother who calls you 'apprentice' for company. Your home was filled with brothers who called you by your name or by 'brother'. You are alive. Your home and brothers are dead.
You next wake up in an unfamiliar place. You smash all the equipment around you. You are now incapable of solving problems without violence, so violence is what you have become. Your brother informs you that his plans have changed, and now you two will be working with Deathwatch. You have no idea what Deathwatch is or who your brother just made a deal with. You will follow him regardless.
You stand up and hit your head on the lamp above you. You were supposed to be shorter than you are now. Your body is wrong. You look in the mirror and you are not yourself. Your body isn't yours, but it is the only body you have.
Your brother takes over Mandalore. You watch as your brother marches Kenobi into the throne room and prepares to execute the Duchess of this planet.
Kenobi offers sympathy. Kenobi recognizes that your brother never had a choice in joining the dark side. Kenobi had gone to your village and seen what it is like for the nightbrothers. Kenobi, despite everything, is trying to be kind.
You hear your story in Kenobi's words. You never had a choice in any of this. You never stood a chance. Your body isn't yours, your mind has been warped and twisted into serving the goals of another. You only wanted to protect your brother.
Your brother kills the love of Kenobi's life. Your brother has stripped himself and you of any possible chance to take the olive branch Kenobi was extending. You ask if you should kill Kenobi now. You know that stewing in grief and guilt can be a terrible fate. Your brother decides to keep him imprisoned. Your brother is counting on the Kenobi stewing in his grief and guilt. Your brother wants to drag out his suffering for as long as possible.
Your brother is in charge for less than a rotation. Your brother panics and bows before a withered old man, calling him 'master'. Your brother lies and fawns to his master. Your brother's master does not care.
You have never met this man before. You have no reason to fight him. Your brother is terrified of him. Your brother grovels before nobody, but he bows before this man. You don't have to do this.
Your brother needs you. You draw your weapon.
You manage to get a hit in on your brother's master. You are one of very few in the galaxy who can say that. You are at your strongest when you are fighting to protect the people you love.
You are stabbed in both your hearts. Your efforts to protect your brother, your pain and suffering, your love and affection, you, Savage Opress, you don't matter. You didn't know it, but you were fighting the most powerful being in the galaxy.
You never had a choice. You never stood a chance.
You die thinking you were unworthy of your brother. Your brother never said or did anything to make you think otherwise. You die calling yourself apprentice, that is the relationship your brother wanted. Your brother holds your hand as you die, it is trembling. You aren't sure if it is from grief or hatred. You decide it must be the latter. Your brother is only capable of hatred.
You knew your brother was incapable of love. You loved him all the same.
You don't know that you might have been the only thing your brother cared about besides his vengeance. You don't know that when you are unconcious he calls you by your name, he calls you brother. You don't know that he nearly killed the Death Watch soldiers, but stopped when they threatened you. You couldn't know. Your brother never told you.
You don't know that he uses his grief as fuel for his duel with Sidious. You don't know that he switches his ire away from Kenobi and decides that his former master is a more pressing target of his hatred You don't know that he spends the rest of his days trying to find a new apprentice to fill the hole you left and that it never works. You will never know. You are dead.
You died realizing you were nothing like your brother. You never were. Your body shrinks down, you finally look like yourself again. You can't be happy about this. You can't take relief in the fact that all the magic which ruined your life has been dispelled. You can't feel anything. You are dead.
You are right. You are nothing like Darth Maul. Your brother is motivated by hatred, you are motivated by love. Your brother will die having found peace, you died having found nothing but pain and grief and yet more pain.
You are my favorite magical girl and you have suffered so much more than Jesus.
#star wars the clone wars#Savage Opress#darth maul#obi wan kenobi#star wars#the clone wars#hey guys I think I have a new special interest#this is very bad. I have enough.#Savage isn't even my favorite Star Wars character. and I have THIS MUCH TO TALK ABOUT IN ONE POST#He IS my favorite character who doesn't make it out of Clone Wars. He is a CW only character and I am sad about that#When I heard that Maul was supposed to hallucinate him in Twins Suns but it was cut for time...AGONY#I get it but AGONY#But fr Savage is actually the most tragic character to me specifically.#this is obviously a lot of extrapolation from the stuff we're given in canon/my interpretation of it#but Savage is never allowed to emotionally react to things or even think about what's happened to him sooo#and Ventress never really explains how nightsister shit works either soooo idk I'm doing my best here#I haven't even touched on the fact that the transformation seems to have fucked with his intellect as well#his body isn't his and neither is his fucking mind. oh my god this man#he is a disability metaphor to me <3#you'd think I'm in love with this man the way I talk about him but I'm literally not into him at all I'm a fucking lesbian#I just think he's neat and also really sad and also jfc WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS MAN????#I will also never be over Obi-Wan trying to empathize with Maul as Maul is about to kill Satine. He is so fucking cool actually#And I will never not yell at the screen about how Savage would have been a good Jedi but he never got the FUCKING CHANCE#I'll stop now

Some fruit for you: 🍐 + 🍈 :D
🍐 Is there anything in canon that you absolutely hate and love to fix in fics? A wrong choice made, a fuck-up in characterization, a misunderstanding never cleared up, a conversation never shown onscreen, etc…
So not a specific thing, but more of a theme. Star Wars characters tend to be very alone in terms of a support system. I don’t know if it’s just a consequence of American individualism, or if screen writers are just trying to keep it to a manageable number of characters, but whatever the cause, Star Wars characters usually only have one or two characters they trust. And I’m not cool to leave it like that.
I love writing doomed by the narrative characters who are alone and suffering, stumbling into full support systems. It’s why I love writing Dooku and Sifu-Dyas, Obi Wan, Quinlan Vos, and so many other Star Wars characters. Their life is kinda shit and lonely, but in a compelling way. I genuinely believe that if Anakin had grown up with a robust support system of people he actually trusted, he would not have fallen. Of course something would have had to happen decently differently for that system to develop, that’s why the prequels are such a good tragedy. But I digress.
But yeah, I like turning tragedies into more of a coming of age genre.
🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.
Hmm, this one is hard to answer. I fell in love with Padmé Amidala at age eight when I watched tpm for the first time. She’s still my favorite character, but I don’t write her, and I’m not sure I ever will. And in general I enjoy trying out different interpretations of characters. Part of what I love about fanfiction is that in a lot of ways it’s an analysis of, and in conversation with, the original work.
However, I will always write Sifo-Dyas disabled, and I will always write Obi Wan and Quinlan Vos as in love. There’s still a lot of variation while staying within those lines, but those are the lines I chose to color within.
Thank you for the ask @charmwasjess !

will this make sense without context? maybe not, but that just means you should read the proof is in the pudding by @star-byrd. In it Obi-Wan has an ostomy, Fox has an ng tube, shenanigans occur as well. a good time.

born to be the character that fights for what they believe in and changes the world; destined to be the mentor character that must die for the sake of the main character’s personal growth

okay okay okay.
So the truth about Anakin is that everything around him shapes him into who he is. That’s true of every person. His decisions are made based on what he thinks to be true, and what he thinks to be true is heavily influenced by Palpatine. And what isn’t influenced by Palps is directly manipulated into him. And he is likewise influenced by Obi-Wan and Padme and his past.
His choices and decisions, being based on all of these things, could easily have gone wholly different had his sphere of life been changed even in little ways. If he had talked less to Palps. If he had opened more to Obi-Wan. If Padme hadn’t been away for ten whole years. If his mother had been freed. If… well, you get the picture.
And that’s very interesting. Because, again. This is true for all of us. Little things truly do make us.
Anyway all this to say I want some small thing to change the whole story of Star Wars for a fun Anakin Is Not As Fucked Up (But Still Pretty Fucked) AU.
#I’m thinking it’s got to be RIGHT away when Anakin shows up#like. anything from shmi getting freed to live her own life on tatooine (Anakin no longer afraid for her safety)#or perhaps the issue of Anakin having been a slave mentioned to Obi-Wan more directly (he catches padmes words in passing and his attitude#shifts ever so slightly.)#or maybe obi-wan gets hurt in the duel (Anakin stays at his bedside. palpatine never says he will watch Anakins progress that day)#LITTLE THINGS#maybe disable obiwan. patience for Anakin learned thru necessity.#maybe padme shows up every once and a while. his longing isn’t overwhelming. it’s not rushed lust.#maybe obiwan and Anakin need a trip to Tattooine. he gets to see his mother. even if just across the sands in passing#while she never sees him#LITTLE!!! THINGS!!!#again Anakin makes his own choices but what if. a new universe where he shaped himself into new choices#I’m gonna slice obi-wans throat open maybe#anakin skywalker#Star Wars
