Have you ever written drug addict/and or alcoholic Obi-Wan? I can see him sinking into addiction during OWK, but it'd be interesting to see him using it to cope before that. After Qui-Gon's death, or during the war
[never have i ever ask game]
hello!! thank you for sending this <3 i have written an obi-wan who has struggled with substance abuse - in salt your fields, win your wars! this fic is not finished and may never be finished, but it's lovingly called the space actors au in my head, and it's rather darker than most of my fics. anakin is an up and coming holo film actor who uses recreationally, and obi-wan is an older actor whose life was pretty much ruined by drug addiction/alcoholism and now he's clean and meeting and falling into bed with anakin really tests him.
i also have been tossing around the idea of writing a fic(let) where same age modern au obi-wan and anakin run into each other at a grocery store after ten or fifteen years of not speaking. but they grew up together and were each other's first loves, only obi-wan was ewan mcgregor in trainspotting and anakin was hayden christensen in life as a house and their relationship sort of ends badly because of drug abuse and teenage angst and probably one or both families relocate away from the other. so in present time, when they're thirty somethings wearing boring business clothes, anakin is surprised to see obi-wan --- because he honestly wasn't sure obi-wan was still alive--- and obi-wan is surprised to see anakin clean cut, piercing free and holding the hand of one of his kids.
but as for canon compliant obi-wan struggling with addiction, i have not written anything like that! but i'm still counting my beloved space actors au <3
