Distractedly, Quinlan brings one hand to his head, the motion slow, as if it takes a few seconds for his muscles to follow through on the thought. Why do my missions always seem to go like this? he wonders, dazed, as his fingers search idly over his temple. No blood that he can tell—just a faint headache where he’d probably hit it as he fell.
Or, working undercover for Dooku, Quinlan suffers an injury.

20 questions!
thanks for the tags @gaeasun @saltsanford @purgetrooperfox <3 love you guys
How many works do you have on AO3?
75
What’s your total AO3 word count?
238,592 (ooh I'mma celebrate when I hit a quarter million)
What fandoms do you write for?
mostly Star Wars! I wrote fic for some other fandoms early on but we don't talk about those
What are your top five fics by kudos?
your heartbeat's a countdown - crack fic in which the Jedi know the clones are a trap and try to avoid them at all costs
Necessary - a whumpy Voltron Klance fic I wrote after the first season (before the show went to hell)
their days are darker - in which Wolffe doesn't know how to drop anything and Fox is having the worst two days of his life
the broken-hearted rang their steeple bells - tropey Witcher kinkmeme fill that for some baffling reason has tons of kudos
exploitation, hesitation - short oneshot in which Fox assumes General Kenobi is just like his natborn superior officers and reacts accordingly
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I used to reply to every single one (unless it was just emojis) but then I fell off and now I feel bad :( I read them all though! and they are so treasured! one day I will make it through the backlog
What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
ooh see despite writing a lot of angst, I almost always write happy endings, so maybe I'll take no gold, I'll take no silver (please read the tags on that one). maybe spit some blood at the camera is pretty sad too, actually
What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
all of them!! yayyyy! even if it's not spelled out, I usually resolve things because that's the world I want to live in! every fic is a fix-it fic
Do you get hate on fics?
not really, mostly just people asking when I'm going to finish, although I have seen people complaining that my version of Fox/Corries is banal and overdone which like yeah. I agree. but my brain won't let me move on.
Do you write smut? If so what kind?
hell yeah I do! I don't know what "what kind" means - I write characters fucking, never x reader and rarely OCs; and it's usually somewhat kinky because I just can't not
Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I've written a few fusions/AUs - elysium is as far as to is a Gladiator AU, everyone wants a double feature is a Pacific Rim AU, and more human than human is a Bladerunner AU. but I've never done a straight-up crossover, although there are a few bouncing around in my brain (namely, the GAR joins the Decepticons and another where Boromir meets Rex and falls in love)
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
yeah I've had real problems with people plagiarizing fics, from lifting whole sections of dialogue to copying really specific scenes
Have you ever had a fic translated?
nope, but one got a podfic
Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
yeah I cowrote hold me like a grudge and sometimes a parrot talks (unfinished) with the fabulous @postapocalyptic-cryptic!
What’s your all-time favourite ship?
oh man. I love Quinlan/Fox to death. but I will admit that I was Stucky trash from the very beginning.
What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
ooh there's a lot. Mace/Fox fic, sometimes a parrot talks, deaged Corries, chroma...
What are your writing strengths?
hm. I don't know. I think I'm good at characterization and dialogue?
What are your writing weaknesses?
fukcin plot beyond "there is hurt and then there is comfort". and also explaining more about people's emotions, like, I know what they're feeling but I need to tell other people
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I just use google translate, I'm sorry
First fandom you wrote for?
oh boy oh fuck. The first fandom I ever wrote for was Phantom of the Opera when I was in eighth grade. go ahead and laugh
Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
uhhh. aaa? um. probably unexplain the unforgivable, but I also really liked how a once and future sun turned out
no pressure tags for @postapocalyptic-cryptic @meerlichtz @milfmisspiggy @catboydogma @jaigeye

YOU ASK ME TO SHOUT AT YOU AND I WILL SHOUT AT YOU. 💗💗💗
For the writers ask game, 17 and 30!
THE SHOUTS CHARGE MY BATTERY THANK YOU 🥰🥰🥰
17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?
OMG LOLLLL I literally don't know how to put my desires into words here...
maybe a Cottage Core!AU where everything is soft and everyone is happy? I really really like fluffy fics where plot is secondary
maybe a Bodyguard!AU where the person being protected is actually pretty badass, so they're like "I'LL BE FINE, I DON'T NEED AN OAF LIKE YOU DEFENDING ME. I CAN DO IT BETTER MYSELF" but then shit goes down and the 'big oaf' risks their life to safe the other person because over the course of the protective detail they've become really fond of their charge (despite the disparaging comments), and the person being protected finally realizes 1) big oaf is actually really good at their job, and 2) their life would be much sadder with out them. So they angst a little from the injuries but then get rid of the bad guys and live happily ever after lol (I feel like this isn't the most original because there is Harry Potter fic that fits this perfectly, but IDC I LIKE IT OKAY)
this isn't really an AU, but I also LOVE fics where I have to suspend my disbelief from canon? I have a few fics that super tickled my fancy here:
Toews/Kane (hockey RPF): Every Little Thing He Does (is magic) the world building and the use of magic in this is EPIC
Lan Zhan/Wei Ying (MDZS): Atlas the crossover with Tian Guan Ci Fu is pure genius
THERE WAS A SW ONE that was Jango Fett/Obi-Wan where Jango was a bounty hunter and Obi-Wan was an omega pleasure slave (he somehow left the order?) who Jango visits a few times (the smut was to die for) before saving up enough to buy off Obi-Wan's debt, they run off to live in a cottage and have some kids, in the end Quinlan finds Anakin (their kid) who is overflowing with the Force and Obi-Wan who he believed to be dead this whole time. Anyways that's all I can remember from the fic, but I THINK IT GOT TAKEN DOWN. If anyone has it saved, PLEASE LINK ME THANK YOU
30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?
I am definitely a visualizer when I write and a lot of the time I need to put myself in the situation (how would I feel if this happened?, is this position natural for me?, etc.), which is challenging in 2 situations: 1) when the scene is super sensory and foreign, and 2) long-fic where the future ideas are still kind of nebulous
For situation 1: definitely Ch 3 (and Ch 4, which is in the works) of How Anakin Got his Groove Back. I'm uhhhhhh NOT experienced in BDSM irl at all, so trying to imagine some of the scenes took a lot of brain power and/or visual reference (lmao)... sometimes I got distracted... BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY it was a really tough exercise of translating feeling into words in a tangible way. I'm not sure what the effect is yet... time will tell, I think I still need more practice at it.
For situation 2: Transference is the ongoing struggle. Tackling a work that I think is going to be around 150k as someone who had never written more than 10k before was SO daunting. It's taught me a lot about pacing, planning, and coming to terms with the fact mistakes ARE OKAY!

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas
5/5 ⭐, no questions asked
WHERE DO I BEGIN😭 Well, let me start by saying that it took me entirely too long to write this review. As in, I finished this book 5 months ago and I'm just now writing the review.....But honestly, I didn't even know what to say! I absolutely adored this book you guys, ADORED IT. I'm a huge Sarah J. Maas fan(ACOTAR??? TOG??? I mean come on) so my expectations were already pretty high, but this book met every single one of them! I'm not even gonna waste your time with a boring book summary that you could easily read off the book sleeve. Instead, I'm going to ask that you trust me when I say that this book is amazing. Now, with that being said, this is a VERY long book, like 800 pages long, but trust me when I say it's worth reading every.single.page. The first half of the book is pretty heavy when it comes to character and world building, but everything you learn plays a crucial role in the development of the story. After the first 300-400 pages, things definitely start to pick up, and that's not to say the first few hundred pages aren't interesting, they're just filled with a lot of information. Now on to Bryce and Hunt...........I LOVE BRYCE QUINLAN AND HUNT ATHALAR🥰. That's it, that's all I've got. My love for them might even be stronger than my love for Feyre and Rhysand, and honestly that's saying a lot👀
As Always,
Happy Reading❤️

Here's my halfway coherent, shoot-I-wish-I'd-actually-write-all-of-this no-Order-66 universe I've been mulling over for like two or three years:
Dead Palpatine (the hows to determine)
Kit, Agen and Saesee are NOT dead
(Adi probably isn't either tbh bc I love Adi)
People are touchy about Anakin and he's kind of absent (left? is in prison for killing Palps? not killing Palps? for turning? anyway it's a Sensitive Subject) (in the interest of limiting angst he probably helped kill Palps and left to be with Padmé but is kinda bitter about all of it, that way Liberosis fits into this and I don't have to think about it too much. the point is, things are strained and remain that way for a while)
The world is absolutely not all unicorns and sparkles but it's getting somewhere. The Jedi are Very Tired and overworked and stressed but also they get to just sit and watch sunsets and that warms them up inside
A random Senator becomes Chancellor (not Bail, Padmé or Mothma). The Republic is still licking its wounds but at least it's there
The CIS kinda collapsed without Dooku or Grievous so there's a lot of independent systems but they're not united anymore and— boring stuff. The point is: an absolute metric ton of diplomatic missions for the Jedi
Many Clones decide to stick around and get sort of folded into the Order Antarian Rangers style (the others are very happy napping on a warm planet somewhere)
Shaak Ti and Stass Allie are on Kamino helping to raise/relocate all the Clone babies so they can grow up somewhere nicer (tbd - I've written a micro fic about this one so far)
Most Jedi ditch the armor (as do a few Clones) and get the baggiest, gigantest robes they can get away with. A few others keep the armor but like, engraved and decorated
Ahsoka comes back after a lot of thinking and gets knighted
Two Jedi who got stranded on a deserted planet during the war had a baby and the Organas adopt her (very important!!! and half written and lingering in my drafts - since like, two years ago)
Obi-Wan takes Katooni as his Padawan
Ahsoka takes either Petro or Reva as her Padawan a few years later (probably Reva)
Ganodi is either Stass' or Adi's Padawan I think
Zatt is either Kit's Padawan or Jocasta's
Petro is probably Aayla's (or maybe she picks Mari Amithest and Quinlan picks Petro.)
Gungi is Plo's Padawan
Byph is Luminara's (he's a precious little duckling and deserves to be CHERISHED okay)
Barriss gets help and healing
If Dooku isn't dead, then he spends the rest of his life in a cell playing dejarik with Obi-Wan and Yoda and having tea with them and bitterly regretting his choices (while struggling to come to terms with Yoda's forgiveness and love especially - I've got a couple of very short fics toying with the idea on here and Ao3 I think)
Maul probably gets the same kind of treatment? Then I imagine he escapes and goes back to Dathomir and then to some desert to have 274 identity crises about stuff (he might also just be dead sadly - but if not he def gets to have more encounters with Obi-Wan)
Ki-Adi takes O-mer as his Padawan and Mace takes either Jinx or Tai Uzuma, in which case Cin takes Jinx (yeah, Mace and Tai, definitely. That way Caleb gets to hang out with her)
Either Shaak Ti or Bultar Swan takes Ashla
Caleb is still with Depa, Cal with Jaro, and Trilla with Cere
I want to find Masters for Ran Deezy and Farn Klin and their siblings (because they each seem to have a twin which!!! I LOVE!!! okay they could just be from the same species and not be related but idc) but I'm coming up kinda short so Agen for Farn, Rig Nema for Ran, Tiplee for Farn's twin, Eeth (who didn't left, comics can gtfo) for Ran's twin
Korkie is Duke of Mandalore (which is ALL ABOUT PACIFISM, AGAIN, because I want it that way. The Jedi drop by to say hi and help sometimes. It should be noted that he's not Obi-Wan's kid.)
The Jedi keep running into Hondo who loves them and therefore loves to make trouble for them (hey, I actually wrote that one!)
Boba is a precocious mercenary/bounty hunter trying to get noticed by some big clients like the Hutts and every so often he runs into some Clones or Jedi and a little angst ensues
A lot of time and writing is dedicated to how deeply fcked the war was and how tired and sad everybody is
BUT
like twice that is about chilling in the gardens, planting things, watching grass grow, sleeping and rebuilding and how happy and lively the children are
Yoda privately cries when he realizes that his vision of a world at peace (the one he had to let go of) did come true - and didn't. The world isn't as perfect as he dreamed but it's infinitely better because it's real
windchimeswindchimeswindchimes
Obi-Wan and Cody get to have buddy comedy solo missions
Same for Obi-Wan and individual Council members. Just hijinks all around
It is very important to me that Cody chaperones a bunch of Jedi babies going to Ilum (probably Clan Bear? but also I want it to be like 10+ years down the line so he can complain about being too old for this shit even tho he's 23 - I WANTED TO SEE CODY WITH THE YOUNGLINGS AND GRIEVOUS ROBBED ME OF THAT)
Oh also Cody was made a General after the war and immediately retired from the army. For no other reason than I think he deserves it
Idk how Qui-Gon fits into all of this so for now his only purpose is to make Dooku angst some more but in a cathartic way
Padmé occasionally drops by with the twins - and vice-versa once Anakin is either free or over himself - and Yoda is their favorite person in the world. They're not being trained as Jedi and they kinda resent it a bit but they're doing fine. They see Uncle Bail and Aunt Breha pretty often, and Aunt Sola and Uncle Darred and Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru regularly, and they're besties with Ryoo, Pooja, and Bail and Breha's adopted Jedi daughter
Some quiet domestic moments where, say, Reva comes up to the slightly older Katooni & friends to get some help with her hair because she wants to do it like Tai's but is too shy to ask directly bc Tai is intimidating, but Katooni is obviously stumped so they try to find some Masters, and the first they come across are like Stass and Shaak Ti who also don't really know how to help, and it's Luminara and Cere who save the day
Quiet Master-Padawan moments in some of the smaller Temples, learning to meditate and be in the moment
A weird period of time before Ahsoka is officially knighted where she just hangs out with Obi-Wan and repairs her relationship with him. In the years after she is knighted but before she takes her own Padawan, she mostly stays with Obi-Wan and Katooni and he's having early days of the war flashbacks with his 'two' Padawans
Animal friendship. 80% of all Jedi missions involve it
PLANTS. PLANTS AND GREENERY AND DIRT AND GREEN THINGS. BECAUSE THE JEDI NEED THOSE

hey rex! idk if u remember about a prompt for a/o or maybe it was for obikink? but it was about a threesome involving padmé being suggested in which obi-wan doms both anakin and padmé??? anyways what if one of the things that happened during this threesome was one or both of the boys making padmé squirt?? i think it would be so adorable and so fun for the 3 of them especially if this is her first time squirting, like maybe it's been elusive to her and she's always wanted to do it but never could and when she finally agrees to get with the boys (i'm assuming anakin has been trying to negotiate this threesome with her whenever he goes to visit her at the senate) finally she's like 'okay fine, u and obi-wan can fuck me together' so finally the night comes. anakin is already familiar with padmé and what she likes but obi-wan is a little nervous (a good way to subvert the dynamic they had with their threesome with quinlan) but obi-wan gets into his role of Serious Master for them both and immediately they wipe their playful joking grins off their faces. maybe obi-wan hasn't revealed all of his plans when they had their kink negotiation so him making padmé squirt is a huge surprise and she's so ecstatic when she finally does squirt for the first time cuz it's so good, and then obi-wan walks anakin thru making her squirt a second time 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 bonus points if there's a little double penetration for her as a treat. anyways maybe her number falls into their rotation of occasional threesomes. 😁😁😁
I definitely remember this prompt!! It was for Obikink :D I even started writing it, but I got a little distracted with other things...
That being said, this is a great way to go about it since I really like the idea of Obi-Wan domming both of them, but he needs to get his footing first since it's Anakin and Padme who knew each other well now and not him and Quinlan.
This is super cute and very hot! Getting Padme to squirt the first time... daaammmn!
Anyway, since I went back into the document to see what I had, here is a snip for you all...
“What do you want to talk about if not the war?” she asked when Anakin handed her another full cup.
Anakin shrugged. “It’s nice to just not think about that stuff sometimes, you know?” He rolled his cup between the palms of his hand a few times.
“It’s a luxury we are not often given,” Padme said quietly to herself. She took another drink and peered up from her cup. “How is Obi-Wan?” Her expression was teasing, but her voice was sincere.
Anakin huffed a small laugh. “Good,” he said, ducking his head.
“We don’t have to talk about him, if you don’t want to,” Padme offered.
“No, it’s fine,” Anakin chuckled. “Found anyone else yet?” he asked, lifting his head.
“When would I have time for that?” Padme smiled gently.
Anakin snorted and shook his head. “Yeah, I guess,” he sighed. “You know…” he started slowly and took a long drink to fortify himself. “I’ve been wanting to apologize for everything that happened between us.”
“What do you mean?”
Anakin looked up and could tell she was truly confused by what he was saying. It wasn’t going to stop him, however. “Just… you know. At the lake house on Naboo. I feel like I might have come off as weird or made you feel uncomfortable,” he finished with an awkward laugh. “And for my reaction when we ended things.”
“Maybe some things do change,” Padme said gently.
Anakin scoffed. “Yeah, maybe.” He looked up, meeting Padme’s gaze. “Is that so bad?”
“You seem… happier,” Padme said simply with a small shrug.
“I am,” Anakin admitted, ducking his head and chuckling awkwardly. “Even despite the thing we’re not talking about.”
“I’m happy for you, Ani,” Padme said sincerely. “Really.”
Anakin exhaled slowly and leaned back in his seat. “Yeah, me too,” he laughed softly. “He does this thing where-” He stopped suddenly, wondering where his candor was coming from, and blushed furiously.
“He does what?” Padme pressed with a laugh.
“The wine is getting to me,” Anakin smiled, shaking his head and drinking the rest. He glanced back at Padme who was looking at him with genuine curiosity.
“He just kind of lets me…” Anakin hummed as he thought through it. “Let go.”
“Sounds nice,” Padme smiled gently.

Hi! i enjoy your writing so much. that part where obi wan thought that he did something to make cody was upset and since we're in fox's pov we know that its something that has nothing to do with obi but since obi's a kid he thinks its his fault that this adult he cares about is upset abt something.. Youre really good at writing children. i also loved the small look at siri we got. I wont lie, i got confused while reading abt fox's space dementia but i realize we're supposed to share his lack of memory/bg info, and figure out by ourselves whats going on behind the scenes. I cant really tell if his space dementia brain rot is more from sith mind-control brain magic or from being a fascist but im glad that fox still decides to live in the end. also, cody was so funny in this. Heartwarming! fascist clone dad manipulates politics to bring his son closer to him!
Thank you!!! That story was A Lot, but it was interesting.
Yeah, Obi-Wan's Babie Mode :( and one of the worst parts about being a kid is being so incredibly self-centered you think that everything's about you. He doesn't really understand Cody's feelings, but he wants him to be happy, and gets frustrated when he just can't make somebody he cares about happy. Cody & Obi-Wan's storyline is one metaphorically about cycles of abuse, and it can be tough to be a kid in that situation wondering what you did wrong when your parent can't parent correctly, not knowing that it's due more to their tremendous amount of baggage then it is anything about you. Cody can get a bit secretly smug when A Plan Comes Together, and one of the first things I wrote for the story was the really fantastic mental image of Cody's shit eating grin as Fox realized that Cody just caused THE ENTIRE STORY just for the PETTIEST reason. (That, of course, wasn't very petty at all - the step that Fox didn't know about was that Cody needed Ben on Naboo at that moment so Ben could kill him).
The Siri thing was SO extraneous and I definitely should have deleted it, but I wanted to humanize the jerky Ferrus, compare Jedi vs. clone families, and demonstrate that entering a brain without permission leaves a piece of yourself behind - so, ergo, the Emperor left a lot of himself behind in Fox, and that's what swiss cheesed him.
But that's all excuses because I really wanted to finally write Tahl, Ferrus, and Siri - a family oft-mentioned but never seen! I put more emphasis on Quinlan's family typically, but since OW&Siri's lineages are so close they must have had board game nights. Siri and Tahl died when Obi-Wan just turned 15 as a nod to their early death in canon, and I can only imagine Obi-Wan's reaction was interesting (Sadly, I think he probably made it a point of pride not to care)(Or like, even worse, it genuinely didn't phase him...). We get a lot of Quinlan but not much of her, so I was happy to work her in. I think she was socially awkward and Weird (TM), and she was more OW's friend then friends with the rest of the friend group, and that she was jealous of Quinlan for being so close to OW. She craves violence at all times and is an ace pilot, and also got along better with the clones than other Jedi. She's a lot like Anakin.
Worth noting that without Obi-Wan and with Ahsoka so much older, Ferrus was probably genuinely Anakin's only friend growing up. I changed his pre-O66 personality a bit just for narrative reasons, especially since he should have left the Order and didn't for plot reasons, and the idea of him just being this very mild, friendly, polite, middle manager type, who after O66 becomes comedically badass is very funny to me. He and Fox are genuinely mortal enemies. Fox does not know this.
Re: confusing - yeah, a problem I'm ALWAYS having as a writer is to hit the right level of confusion. I frequently want confusing, but not too confusing. It should be a puzzle that the reader can figure out. It's a hunk of meat frozen in a block of ice for the reader's enrichment. I think I've gotten better at it, but I'm still not great. I do think there's a difference between 'I'm confused because I don't understand what's happening in the plot/the plot's contradictory' and 'I'm confused because I don't know everything that's happening in the story'. The first one is the one I try to avoid! For the second one - sometimes it's very interesting not to have the whole picture.
But - yes, the reader is not meant to have a good idea of what's happening in the story. Only a few things are outright said to Fox, and the reader mostly has to put together the actions of the other characters. Some of it is only really expanded upon or answered in More Than Zero. For example, a lot of the stuff Cody says and does only makes sense when you remember that this entire story he is basically setting up his suicide. Fox doesn't know that. To jump forward, at the end of More Than Zero Cody says that he thinks it failed because he lost conviction - I think part of the reason why he lost conviction was guilt from abandoning Fox, when Fox really needs him right now.
It gives the story a claustrophobic, hazy, confused feeling. It lets us get an idea of how weirdly scary this has to be - 'stay in your room and don't bother us as the galaxy is lowkey collapsing in the background'. People are acting in ways that don't make any sense and he's told not to worry about it. All of the decisions about himself and his future are being made behind his back. Even worse, are being made by Cody, of all people. Who extorted them away from the guy Fox actually gave them to. One throw-away line from Thire becomes the most important in the story - that everybody is split between a bunch of different sides, including Cody: On Cody's Side!, and they all think that they're doing what's best for Fox - but only Mace Windu is on Fox's side.
Finally, what's going on with Fox is definitely not because he's a fascist. It's not a punishment, just a side-effect of Oops All Sith Magic Brainwashing happening to him for so long. He got a little dependent on the numbing effects of the Dark Side in order to deal with waves hands, but we see in the flashbacks how every time he goes Emperor's Mouthpiece mode he can feel his brain frying. Not his fault.
Sorry that got long OTL. A lot was going on in this one. Very little of it was obvious or explained. I REALLY enjoy working with super-limited POV, and the challenge is to give the reader insight into the story through the eyes of someone who doesn't get what's happening. Also why kid POVs are so much fun. Thanks for reading!
#my writing#I guess this story is a set-up for more than zero which is funny#considering the fact that nothing is set up at all#hey I didn't stop to think about how SUPER scummy it is#to take away metaphorical power of attorney away from the guy Fox ACTUALLY gave it to#haha yikes cody.#like yikes dude wish I had stopped to address that in the story

F, N, V for the ask game :)
Hello!!!! 💙 Thank you! 🥰
F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
Okay I've got a couple of these dialogue ones and I'm going to answer them all because I love writing dialogue and I am a narcissist.
From The Devil's in the Details
“He’s probably an incubus or something, he lures you in with a pretty face and a tight ass—”
“Stop looking at his ass,” Obi-Wan insists heatedly. “And—that’s not—I haven’t fucked him. Not that it’s any of your business. It’s more than that, Quin, it’s something real.”
“Right.” Quinlan wrinkles his nose. “You’re saying that if I hadn’t knocked on your door you wouldn’t be balls deep in Beelzebub right now?”
The phrase "balls deep in Beelzebub" is probably the worst thing I've ever written. I remember staring at it and going "yeah I'm keeping this, I don't care." Frankly, I had to read it, so everyone else does too.
Maybe "proud" isn't the right word. I definitely feel some sort of way about it!
N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?
Yes! I started a murder mystery fic back in June because I really wanted to read one. I just love mysteries so much!!!
As it turns out, I did not want to write one. I know who the murderer is, but I don't want to go through the bother of establishing red herrings and alibis and everything. I just want to read them and be blown away at the intricacy. And I want for Obi-Wan to be a handsome detective. It's why I'm writing the noir, because I assume it's already obvious who the murderer is, even though no one has died, and it doesn't matter because the important thing is that everyone is wearing outfits.
Anyway if anyone really likes writing murder mysteries: first, will you marry me? and second, I would be incredibly happy to have that little fic be finished. I can provide the smut, because I already wrote a bunch of that. Or you could write your own! Or change the rating. I don't care, it's all about the mystery!
V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?
Ahhh good question. It would be a fic that the author has no interest in continuing themselves, because truthfully I'd rather read everyone else's writing than my own.
@obi-wkenobi knows I adore her lingerie fic Yellow Surprise so if she never wanted to write another instalment, I'd enjoy writing one just so we have more of Anakin in cute outfits!

My Top 10 Ships of 2020
It's been a weird year but I've seen other people doing this. Plus this year I've been way more into gen fics (love a bit of found family especially in clone wars and marvel) than anything shippy. So I genuinely don't know what imma put on here aside from two ships for sure. Sorry this post is super long idk how to do the below the cut thing and I've had this app for 5 years...
10) Viktor Nikiforov and Yuuri Katsuki - Yuri!!! On Ice
It was a real toss up between this, supercorp, kanera and wolfstar cos they're all very integral ships to my fan heart but this son because of the Yuri on Ice fandom's rebirth this year. I've never stopped shipping this, never stopped reading fanfic of them for any extended period of time, they're still my most bookmarked ship on ao3 (although I think now star wars - all media types may have overtaken them for fandom). They were one of the first things I watched where the queer ship I loved became canon and I can't wait for the film (and hopefully someday a season 2). Heck I even made my mum watch Yuri on Ice with me so I think that says it all.
9) Edelgard Von Hresvelg and female Byleth - Fire Emblem: Three Houses
My first fire emblem game was fates when I was like 14 (and finally gay awake lol). I was so disappointed that I had to be with a guy character because the only female option was kinda creepy and also I wouldn't get the character of kana. So when three houses came out I was so happy because finally there were beautiful incredible female characters my female byleth could romance (I'm so sorry mlm you deserved so much more than you got). I got the game as soon as it came out (had to search a lot of shops let me tell you) and started on black eagles. I was actually kinda disappointed back in 2019. I didn't like the explore the monastery bit (still find it kinda tedious) and the battle mechanics weren't quite the same as fates (no pairing up?! Aka my main battle technique for protecting the weaker units). So I got like 20 hours in and put it down. Came back to it in lockdown and finally finished it! I'm so proud of myself I virtually never finish games. And I fully fell in love with the useless lesbian edelgard in the process. When I started back playing in 2020 I was like eh I wish I'd picked a different character to romance (like shes an emperor that's morally very shady) but then the romance stuff started with edelgard and I fell the heck in love.
8) Cory Matthews and Shawn Hunter (and Topanga Lawrence) - Boy Meets World
Disney+ was released in the UK this year and I finally got the opportunity to watch boy meets world in its best quality (aka not on YouTube). I watched it back when I was like 12 or 13 and it's such a nostalgic show for me. Watching it again I still absolutely adore it (and my bi ass was low-key crushing on Shawn especially in chick like me - I'm 18 btw and I got so scared for a sec but rider strong was 18 when chick like me came out so it's fine woah). And of course now I see the possibilities of the beautiful Cory and Shawn relationship like they were so bromance it was basically romance and throw in topanga it's the perfect ot3 (but I'm also fine with just Cory and Shawn or just Cory and Topanga). Read some good fanfic for them this year. My favourite was one about Shawn stealing makeup and stuff and exploring gender (need more fics like this I'm biiii).
7) Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes - Marvel Cinematic Universe
I rewatched all the MCU films this year too. And got really into Peter parker whump and irondad. Plus my eternal obsession with identity and relationship reveals of course led me from Spiderman identity reveals (and found family cuteness) to stucky coming out. Especially when it involves the internet and social media. Not my favourite ship but it's been significant to my year due to the sheer amount of marvel stuff I've read.
6) Satine Kryze and Obi Wan Kenobi - Star Wars
I rewatched clone wars in prep for season 7 and wow Satine's death was sad and sudden. She first appeared in S2 E13 I think and just the sheer sexual tension of their bickering. "The sarcasm of a soldier. The delusion of a dreamer." Just ugnnhhh my bi ass can't take much more of this. And Anakin just sipping his wine in the background grinning. And I fully believe korkie is a Kenobi.
5) Commander Cody and Obi Wan Kenobi - Star Wars
I am very much an Obi wan multishipper. I don't really have a favourite but I fully believe he was with satine and Quinlan in his life. I don't think be would've actually done anything with Cody because of the whole superior officer thing. And this probably isn't even my favourite Obi wan ship - that honour probably goes to quinobi or obitine. However the most popular ships in the fandom are codywan, quiobi and obikin. No offence to anyone who ships these they're just personally not to my taste, but I can't stand quiobi, and obikin I find only slightly more tolerable and I think that's just because there's so much obikin content so if I like the concept of a fic that happens to be obikin I'll read it. I'm just not a fan of the mentor/student relationships. So I generally favoured the codywan fics when there was shipping involved meaning I read a lot of them this year. Needed that nice fix it content post season 7.
4) Zuko and Katara - Avatar: the Last Airbender
Again I am a multishipper I have nothing against zukka it's cute. But I'm a zutara shipper first and foremost because when I first watched avatar I was like 13 and denying my gayness and gayness in general so I shipped the straight things and the straight things only. Most of these ships I stopped shipping - dramione, spuffy, some my little pony ones which we don't talk about. Zutara stayed. (I have nothing against any of the things I used to ship I just stopped shipping them so much/shipped new things more). I've continuously shipped zutara since I first watched avatar even if I didn't necessarily spend that much time on it it has always been here as one of my favourite ships. It has such good fanfic I swear including my favourite ever fanfic from any fandom - love thy enemy. Plus like the black games (reread this for the millionth time this year), a delicate subterfuge (which I read for the first time this year and damn it's so good) and so many more. With the avatar resurgence this year I haven't actually rewatched avatar aside from my normal random episode every now and then when I feel like it. But there's been a lot of avatar on my dash from people I follow getting into it and people I followed for avatar returning so naturally I returned to the fandom and read quite a lot of fanfic. I also read just a lot of avatar gen fics which were great at the whole found family thing I've been so obsessed with this year.
3) Catra and Adora - She Ra and the Princesses of Power
Catradora is canon! They kissed! What more is there to say. Arguably they should've been top but I never shipped them that much since I was always very much a multishipper when it came to she ra so yes I was very happy it became canon because we actually won for once but also I've never read much fanfic for them etc. But they are very much a dynamic I love and watching she ra all again in prep for season 5 I really enjoyed the build up of their relationship. The other two only go above because Buffy is my favourite show ever and damn there's some good fuffy fanfic and Aphra and Tolvan is both fresh in my mind and star wars owns me. Would love some catradora fic recs btw if anyone has them tho.
2) Buffy Summers and Faith Lehane - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I didn't realise it was last year that I got super into them but according to my ao3 bookmarks it was lol. 2020 I swear it's lasted an eternity. I got into them about a month before lockdown (which feels like another lifetime). I've loved Buffy since I first watched it when I was 13. It's arguably still my favourite TV show. I've been through a lot of ships for Buffy - bangel to spuffy and now fuffy. I still think angel and her were a beautiful ship back in season 2 and especially in the angel episode I will remember you. But faith and Buffy had so much chemistry in season 3 - she would've been a fresh start for Buffy and the amount of fix it fics I read I swear. My favourite has to be one where they met in LA during Anne and how that changed everything feat Buffy's internal homophobia.
1) Cheili Lona Aphra and Magna Tolvan - Star Wars
I read Darth Vader (2015) and Doctor Aphra (2016) for the first time at the end of 2020 (got a comic subscription which has served me very well already I've nearly finished the star wars canon comics). Just to see canon queer ladies in star wars was so magical for me as a queer lady. I didn't think star wars would be so overt yet as to have a queer kiss in canon (even if it's in the comics) and especially not with the main character of arguably their main comic series. Now we just gotta hope that we'll get it in live action someday soon. They weren't the ship I consumed the most content of in 2020 but they were the highlight of my 2020 because star wars did that and I finally found out about it
Honourable mentions: Vivian and Elle - Legally Blonde, Candace and Vanessa - Phineas and Ferb, Stevie and Alex - Wizards of Waverly Place, Xander and Spike - Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I actually don't ship this but damn some authors are good - this was the ship that made me realise I don't need to like a ship if the author is good enough to write it well), Eli Vanto and Mitth'raw'nuruodo - Star Wars (started reading the books last year but finished this year and only started with fanfic this year), Villanelle and Eve - Killing Eve, Kanan and Hera - Star Wars, Barriss and Ahsoka - Star Wars, Remus and Sirius - Harry Potter, Kara and Lena - Supergirl (let's hope this becomes canon next year!) (Those last four are ones I've shipped forever some of my og ships but nothing particularly big has happened for me this year with them so)
I got Disney+ this year so rewatched a fair few things from my youth and though hey my obsession with that character may have been a little gay.
#fuffy#chelli lona aphra#aphra x tolvan#magna tolvan#zutara#top ten ships 2020#very star wars lol#victuuri#edelgard x byleth#codywan#catradora#obitine#stucky#shory#shorypanga#idk what their ot3 name is#boy meets world#hmu if you like any of the more obscure of these#or vibe with my reasonings#top ships 2020#and if anyone wants any fic recs for any of these ships just ask

I pick up the letter as I come home from work that day, my eyes absolutely widening at the amount of money.
“Oh my god,” I murmur to myself as I quickly shove the letter and check into my drawer, “what part of ‘I don’t need anything’ did he not get. Stubborn boy.”
I don’t respond for another month, not wanting to burden him with too many letters of too little updates.
Dear Ben,
I am glad you received my letter as I was worried you didn’t actually get mail to the Temple. I am sure you hav noticed the check I have sent back, and I would like to state again that I don’t need anything from you.
But I am glad to give you updates, as you have requested. I will keep my letters short, as I do not wish to bore you and because the only updates are simple, with the baby so small.
I am twelve weeks along now and had to get a blood test done at my last appointment. All is well and they have confirmed a healthy pregnancy, they also told me the gender. It’s a girl! For reference, she is the size of a plum right now. She has developed little fingers and toes, too!
I assure you I will not be lonely, as I will have the baby girl and my friends, and I do not want money or supplies (unless you specifically send a present to the baby, but I do not expect that either). I simply just want you to know that she is a person and she is yours. Do not be sorry, as I am quite happy.
Please take care of yourself and try not to be too guilty.
Happily,
Lili
Ben locks himself in his room to read this second letter, sighing softly to himself at the sight of the check being returned. "Fine," he whispers, "I will just send it right back." He sets it aside and continues reading.
To his surprise, he's in tears again by the end of this one, the news of the baby's gender hitting him harder than he thought it would. Just the mere fact that you would keep him updated enough for that is heartwarming.
A girl. A beautiful baby girl- in the times him and Quinlan have discussed what it would be like to have a family. And Quinlan, gods-damn him, got Ben to admit that yes, a family would be nice. Followed by a, 'but that can never happen, Quinlan, and we both know that'.
He clears his throat and gets out his stationery paper, starting his response back.
Lili,
I hope you are doing well. I'm overjoyed to hear that the baby is a healthy baby girl and that you yourself are also healthy.
If... you are in need of name ideas, I thought I might contribute a few? There is no pressure whatsoever for you to choose one of these - I just thought brainstorming may help you. But again, you've got plenty of time to think it over. Anyway, here are some names
Eleanor
Josephine
Lydia
Adeline
Violet
And, despite the fact that you returned my check, I must stubbornly refuse to accept it back. It is yours for a reason- because I wanted you to have it, not out of obligation.
I write this hesitantly, but I would like you to know that the possibility of me visiting is not out of the question yet. Perhaps when the war dies down a little - if ever - and I have more time, I will be able to possibly visit you. Again, I am not sure, but I am also not fully scratching it off.
I hope you're having a wonderful day and that the Alderaanian mountains aren't treating you too harshly.
Best,
Ben Kenobi

🖊️, 🏅, 🧠 for the asks?? (Friendship hearts! 💜💜💜)
Friendship hearts!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙 From the ask game
🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.
My WIPs are a disaster at the moment, but here's Obi-Wan rationalizing a demon just openly appearing in his murder house:
Just a dream.
It only happened because this is his first night in a new house. It often takes Obi-Wan some time to adjust to an unfamiliar setting. When he first moved into his old apartment, he struggled to fall asleep at night because his bedroom faced a busy intersection and the traffic noise kept him awake.
This is nothing more than that. He is getting settled. He is getting acclimatized. He is not worried, not really. It’s just that his terrible, unsupportive friends got into his head. Quinlan with his ghost talk, Qui-Gon with his herbs and his exorcisms, Cody with his ‘your life is a horror movie, and you will die alone’ (it is possible he only implied that last part), they’re the ones responsible for whatever just happened.
Obi-Wan sinks his head back into the pillows. It’s just first night jitters. He’ll be perfectly happy and perfectly adjusted within the week.
Just watch.
🏅 What is something you recently felt proud of in regard to your writing (finished a fic, actually planned for once, etc).
This is maybe silly, but I was a bit proud of a compelling argument because I wasn't trying to be funny. I'm branching out to new genres over here. Even if it doesn't work out, it's fun to try!
🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?
Well, we have our whole Shakespeare situation brewing (did I ever tell you that I played Witch #2 in Macbeth as a child?) But I've got a vague idea of an amnesia story. Obi-Wan and Anakin both get plot-related amnesia on some mission and they're obviously super attracted to each other. So they hook up, but then their memories come back and Obi-Wan has the big guilt for taking advantage of his former Padawan (even though Anakin is obviously completely in love).
