@sunfoxfic here from my main and can I just say that I see you recommending SF every once in a while and I appreciate the hell out of it! It's always nice to know when your fic has staying power within a fandom, and if any of my fics were to have staying power, I would want to to be that one.

Readers who are active in the comments and maintain rec lists like you are absolutely the pinnacles of fandom.

Awww, thank you! I'm so glad you wrote Strangely Familiar, it's STILL the longest DJWifi fic in the fandom, I kinda doubt that'll be topped, honestly. Of course I have to recommend it, especially with it using both Alya's and Nino's POVs, I love that! Those two need more love, and I adore that you dived into both of their thoughts, emotions, and personal problems, I don't see that very often.

I just hope people pay attention to my rec lists, there are so many good fics that just get lost, especially if they're not of a popular plot type or ship, and that's a shame. I really want people to check these fics out, I really enjoyed these fics so I want the authors to get the appreciation they deserve! (Also because it helps to motivate them to write more fics for me to devour. Some self-interest is involved) XD.

Alpha-17 and Obi-Wan being friends (derogatory) on 17's part and friends (threatening) on Obi-Wan's part is such an underrated dynamic

They could be so funny and terrifying, like Obi-Wan went through a soul shredding experience with Alpha-17 as his only company. They're friends because what else are you gonna be after you witness each other at absolute rock bottom from torture.

It's like 'dog put in cage of cheetah who's threatening to go crazy', except the dog is a grizzly bear and also threatening to go crazy.

Emotional support trooper except the trooper in question has never done any sort of supporting in his life and is actively an emotional distress trooper to a great number of the CC batch.

I want them texting everyday, I want Obi-Wan mailing handmade BFF bracelets to Alpha and Alpha sending pics back of him flipping off the camera but still wearing them, I want Alpha using Obi-Wan to keep track of and occasionally terrorize his cadets, I want 17 ending problems in the GAR (like Krell) before they begin because Obi-Wan has him shipped out on a personal transport at the first opportunity, decked out with slug-throwers Obi-Wan got him for his decant-day.

Natborn officers think this is all just an odd indulgence of General Kenobi, the Vode, however, correctly identify it as a goddamn threat and their danger assessment of Obi-Wan ticks up significantly.

When Alpha arrives on Kamino, Shaak Ti presses a shiny new comm into his hand. It has the Jedi Order symbol painted onto it alongside a smiley face sticker, and it pings immediately with a new message: Hello! I hope you're settling in well!

Alpha stares at the message, stares at the singular contact named 'OWK' and then stares Shaak Ti in the eye as he pitches the comm straight into the ocean. Shaak Ti's serene smile only grows larger as she calmly reaches into her robes and pulls out an identical comm, only this one has a frowny face sticker, and presses it into his hand. It lights up: I'm afraid we've bonded, Alpha :). Alpha shuts it off and pockets it with resignation.

Cody arrives on Alpha-17's personal recommendation.

A-17: He's the most difficult little bastard I have. You're perfect for each other. OWK: Thank you, he's very handsome :3 A-17: No. Stop.

The first thing he asks once he gets comfortable is who his general is texting so much that has him swinging his legs and twirling his hair. Cody assumes it's Anakin, given they seem joint at the hip anyway, but little does he know Obi-Wan's ability to consistently have the Weirdest Relationships Ever.

"Oh, it's Alpha-17, I understand you're familiar with each other?" Hmm. OK. Cody.exe is experiencing a processing error, please hold. He exits the room instead of answering. The next day he peeks over the General's shoulder when he's texting and sees walls of rambling messages from Obi-Wan. Alpha-17 replies every hour with a single text: Lose this number. Obi-Wan giggles. "He's so funny." he says.

When Obi-Wan meets the rest of the CC batch, Cody makes sure to stand perfectly angled so that he can record the reactions when his general cuts off their introductions with "Oh, no need, Alpha-17's told me all about you." It's always immediate FEAR.JPG followed by a slow spiral of What The Fuck.

What do you mean by that General. What does that mean Cody. What do you mean they text. No. Cody. What the fuck is happening, Cody. Alpha-17 doesn't have friends he has enemies and enemies he tolerates enough not to shoot on sight.

OWK: Wolffe reached for his vambrace? when I mentioned you A-17: That's where he keeps his spare knife. OWK: Hm that does explain the way he eyed me up, ambitious. A-17: Clearly not enough, he should have followed through. I taught them better.

I've seen some discussion on what if trein met lilia in his youth, only for him to see Lilia again decades later at NRC and I find it so funny

It's always been my personal belief that Wen Yuan was brought into the lan clan under the guise of being one of the many war orphans they no doubt had at that point. He wears the cloud pattern on his ribbon that marks him as a member of the inner family so either the lan clan is very woke about adoption and Lan Wangji formally adopted him (which I don't think he did both because sizhui says "you were like a father or older brother to me" which sounds like that dynamic was unofficial. And because adopting him would've put a-yuan in danger, which lwj would obviously refuse. It was known who wwx's actual parents were and he wasn't even formally adopted, just a ward, and still everyone was gossiping about him secretly being a bastard. A-yuan would be seen as proof of ~hanguang-jun's mysterious wartime affair~ and there'd be rampant speculation about his parentage, no doubt scandalous since they're trying to hide it. You can see why this is very very bad.) Or they were convinced he was the offspring of some late inner clan members. Born in unsafe times and therefore hidden away with non-cultivators for his own safety, only for his parents to perish before they could go back for him, or whatever backstory the Lan brothers came up with.

But that leaves the question... whose wartime orphan did they think he was? The number of inner clan couples who were of child-bearing age before dying in the war was likely numerous but it can't have been that high. Low enough to narrow down a list of potential parents. Were there Elders who looked at Sizhui and thought "well there's a solid 12.5% chance you're my grandson?" Were there other orphans who wondered if he was their younger brother?

That kind of speculation is safer, because everyone agrees he's a Lan child, so there's no chance of someone concluding that he's a secret Wen spawn.

But I'm thinking of a young Lan Sizhui growing up with his almost-solved mystery. With some of his peers and teachers taking an interest in him, wondering if he's their little brother, or nephew, or grandson, and not being able to give them the answer. Who gets very used to staring at people's faces, trying with all his might to see something familiar in them, and never succeeding. Until years later, long after he stopped trying, when he meets a strange fierce corpse and something in his mind says i've seen you before.
