#they wanted dr kenobi all the time

[sendpseuds]

i can absolutely see therapist ben just like...being totally honest with his coworkers about his weekend plans to go get another tattoo and they all just laugh and think he's kidding. or perhaps his coworkers are very divided about if he's actually boring or not and the two different camps keep trying to prove the other wrong. which of course ben ends up like...bringing anakin to the secretary's kid's pool party and everyone loses their collective shit because he is very much not boring and bland and someone is out a lot of money... (the pool party was a plot by the secretary to win the bet on ben having tattoos). :D

Okay now I’m just going to spend hours trying to decide what his tattoos are because the more I think about this to more I love the idea that he’s just covered. Like, running out of room covered. Like if he cuts his hair too short you can see ink crawling up the back of his neck covered.

And I love the idea that he’s not necessarily hiding any of it from anyone, but he likes to keep a professional distance and prefers to cover up at work.

I think he also quietly enjoys the rumors.

WIP Wednesday

Thank you to everybody who voted! The (pretty clear, honestly) winner is a modern AU I'm tentatively calling Office Hours (official name pending) in which Anakin tries bringing seven-month-old Luke and Leia to the first day of Professor Kenobi's English 1B class.

"I'm dropping this class," Anakin hurried to say. "Sorry about today. It won't happen again. I don't know what I was thinking. They're clearly not ready. Hell. I'm clearly not ready." He tried smiling, but Dr. Kenobi didn't smile back.

"Please don't."

"Don't what?"

"Drop this class."

Anakin snorted. "Oh, yeah, sure. You're just going to lecture all semester with my baby in your arms."

Dr. Kenobi shrugged. "Why not?"

"Why..." Anakin opened and closed his mouth a few times. "Why not?"

Dr. Kenobi nodded. "Yes, Anakin. Why not. Do you mind, if I hold your children?"

"Well, no, I guess not, so long as they don't mind, but..."

"Then there's no problem. I am here to support you and your learning. And if the support you need is an extra pair of hands, then I can and will do that for you."

Anakin opened and closed his mouth a few times. "I can't ask you to do that."

"You didn't. I offered."

"Professor, this is ridiculous," Anakin finally intoned, all but whining. "You cannot be serious. We're not...we're not supposed to be here."

Dr. Kenobi looked confused again. "Were you or were you not offered admittance to this university?"

"Yeah, but...I mean, that's not what I -"

"What grade did you receive in English 1A?"

"B-plus, but that was before -"

"Then I daresay you are, in fact, supposed to be here."

"I mean, like, cosmically."

Now it was Dr. Kenobi's turn to snort. "The philosophy department is down the hall, if you want to debate where any of us should be, cosmically. Here in the English department, however, I tend to grade more on things like reading comprehension and self-expression. As you will notice whenever you get a chance to read my syllabus."

[tennessoui]

I'm begging on my hands and knees for more Twilight au, and those are words I never thought I'd say! Anakin being able to resist compulsion, and Obi-Wan seeming instantly obsessed, and poor Shmi! Pretty please 🥺🙏

hey!! sure! here's some more!

(2.5k)

Having a sheriff for a mom sucked a lot when he was a kid growing up in a small town. There was probably nothing Anakin was rebelling against more at eleven, at thirteen, at seventeen than the rule of law his mother represented. 

All things considered, she was pretty good at separating her home life from her worklife. It was Anakin who was bad at respecting the separation, Anakin who couldn’t keep son out of delinquent.  There’s only so many times he could be pulled out of wreckage and bars and buildings with Keep Out No Trespassing signs on them before he got The Sheriff at home and out in public.

He’d hated it growing up and had come to grudgingly respect it later and in fits and starts. His dad dying had, terribly and ironically, helped a lot. His mother had had a stroke just before and then Anakin had been faced with the possibility of being an orphan, and the terror of that had mellowed him out.

Sorta.

He still hates a lot of things about his mother’s job. Especially the fact that she’s the sheriff of a very small town.

And when people talk, she listens.

The thing about small towns is that everyone’s always fucking talking. And other people are always fucking lsitening so they can talk later. One big fucking community, which means when Anakin comes home from his weird doctor’s appointment with Dr. Kenobi, a few hours later because he took a detour biking along the edge of the seaside cliffs just to spit in the good doctor’s metaphorical face, Shmi Skywalker already knows more than Anakin ever planned to tell her.

Like, for instance, “Sheila says that Dr. Kenobi thought it would behoove you to spend some time at the local library volunteering.”

Anakin pauses, backpack half-slung off his shoulders. He hangs his stuff up slowly, careful to keep his tone very light. “Did Sheila say what I told him after he said that?” 

His mom’s silence is very loud.

“I don’t want to do i—”

“I asked the new librarian about it on my way home from the station. She thinks it’s a wonderful idea. Apparently we used to have a program like that in the forties but it died out during the war.”

“Mom, come on—”

“It’ll look good on resumes, saying you created and supported a local reading program.”

“Yeah, but I’m a bit too old to be applying for babysitting positio—”

“It’ll look good for me as well,” Shmi says in her sheriff voice. “Elections are coming up soon. It’ll be good, if my kid was involved in the community.”

Anakin’s glad that his back is still turned to the living room, where his mom is sitting. “Are you gonna run again?” he asks, paying special attention to his tone this time.

“Why wouldn’t I?” his mom replies. “I’ve been sheriff for a decade and a half.”

Anakin lets his eyes fall closed for a second, knowing that his face can’t be seen. This is how they end up half the time: Shmi’s ardent belief that she is invincible, going up against Anakin’s desperate desire for her to be so.

And they just don’t talk about it. As if they’re actually in agreement.

He knows how this is going to shake out.

“Do you have any plans tomorrow?” His mother asks.

Anakin’s eyes remain closed. “I guess so,” he says.

—--------

Mrs. Kenobi—call me Satine—is sort of scary up close. She’s tall. She glides between bookshelves. Anakin’s never met someone who glides before. And she’s so intensely, incredibly, blindingly perfect that Anakin would rather be anywhere but in her vicinity. There’s something incredibly unnerving about the symmetry of her face, the sharpness of her cheekbones. She’s obviously an absolute knock-out, just drop-dead gorgeous, but it makes Anakin’s skin crawl and his heart beat fast, but not in a good way or a normal teenage boy way.

Anakin tries to keep the unease off his face as Satine leads him through a tour of the library, a gentle hand on his forearm. That’s another thing Anakin doesn’t really like. She’s wearing satin gloves. He doesn’t know anyone who wears gloves anymore.

It’s just all a bit…unsettling.

“I put in a few words around the school yesterday afternoon,” Satine tells him. They pass by the mystery section, the fantasy section, and take a hard right into the young adult section. The shelves are smaller here, and Anakin feels rather stupidly gigantic as he and Satine walk through them. “To some parents picking their children up after school. They agreed it would be good exposure to bring them to the library for an hour or so of reading before supper.”

Anakin highly doubts it will be, but Satine hasn’t really asked him.

She sweeps past his figure and pushes open a pair of double doors with a flourish better suited for a Russian tsarina hosting an elaborate ball than a small town librarian showing off a small, cramped, and dusty room filled with padded seats and threadbare rugs.

And then, as if she has been waiting to put the last nail in the proverbial coffin, Satine adds, “A few students from the local high school will be here as well.”

“Sorry,” Anakin says, “are you saying I’m going to be reading to high school students? Can’t they do that themselves?”

After all, Anakin went to high school here. Academics hadn’t been too rigorously challenging, but they’d taught the fucking basics.

Satine raises one perfectly plucked eyebrow in his direction. “They’ll be volunteering as well.”

Oh. Right.

“It looks good on their college applications,” Satine waves a hand through the air and the words linger there. Anakin looks out the rather dirty window, jaw clenching. “I’ve already chosen a handful of books I think the young ones will enjoy.”

Anakin, committed to his fate, pads over to the titles placed carefully ontop of a short, stout side table. 

“Peter the Rabbit,” he reads off the top. “Peter Pan. Alice in Wonderland. Treasure Island. The Prince and the Pauper—look, you’re the librarian here, but don’t you have anything written this century maybe? Harry Potter, even.”

“These are classics,” Satine tells him, her nose raised into the air as if she has encountered something particularly foul-smelling. She turns away, presumably to return to the front desk so she can welcome half the fucking town inside the library so Anakin can read them fucking Anne of Green Gables and become a better person.

“These are fucking boring,” he mutters to himself, flicking the cover of the first book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz open. Publication date: 1900. “I’d rather be in Kenobi’s office getting lectured at.”

There’s a sharp noise of disapproval from the doorway, and Anakin’s head snaps up to see the tail end of a very heated look from the librarian before the door closes behind her.

He shivers, alone in the emply room, and it takes several long minutes for his heart to settle back into its normal pace. 

—----------

After the fourth kid sneezes, Anakin closes his book with a snap and stands from the very small chair they’ve got him sitting on. “Come on,” he tells the cluster of children he’s been assigned to. “We’re getting out of here.”

“Are you kidnapping us?” One of them, a snot-nosed kid who’d started the sneezing says, rubbing at her cheek beneath her glasses. “Cause mommy says that’s not allowed.”

“I’m not kidnapping you,” Anakin snaps back, barely holding in his natural follow-up to the sentence which is of course, I don’t want to be around any of you in the first place. “Also, just for future reference, you shouldn’t ask if someone’s kidnapping you after you already start following them.”

The girl scowls and reaches up her hand to hold onto Anakin’s. 

For the love of Christ.

“We’re just going to go into the main part of the library,” Anakin tells his children, all six of them. “They have windows out there.”

They have windows out there and they also have parents. Parents who absolutely should be doing other things with their lives and precious hour of extra freetime.

Parents who are clustered instead around the library’s front desk as the town’s newest librarian holds court.

“Is reading time over?” one of the kids asks him, turning his head to look up at Anakin.

Anakin thinks about it. “Do you want reading time to be over?”

The kid thinks about it back. “Yeah,” he decides. “You don’t do the voices good.”

“It’s a boring book,” Anakin tells the kid. “Voices aren’t going to make it better.”

“Voices always make it better,” another kid says. “They make everything better.”

“Oh look,” Anakin says. “Is that your father?”

He gestures vaguely towards the cluster of drooling middle-aged somethings focused on Satine.

The kid peeks around his thigh and then shakes his head. “No,” he says. “That’s Dr. Obi.”

“Dr. Obi!” The kid holding Anakin’s hand says, and she lets go.

Anakin gets a bad feeling about this, a feeling that only doubles when he turns around to see Dr. Kenobi sauntering towards him, hands tucked into the pockets of a long dark jacket that makes him look even more pale than he already is.

He scowls automatically as the man gets closer. “Dr. Obi.”

Dr. Kenobi spares him a look that’s far too amused for Anakin’s pleasure before he crouches down to the level of the kids. “Hello there, young ones,” he says, opening his arms to accept a hug from the traitor of a girl Anakin’s just spent thirty minutes reading to. “Are you eating all your vegetables? Even the brussel sprouts?”

“I like brussel sprouts,” one of the kids reports sounding proud, and that starts a cacophony of opinions about brussel sprouts from all around Anakin.

“Wow! One of mine just absolutely hates them,” Dr. Kenobi says. “She refuses to eat them, so you’re very brave, Michele.” He lets go of the girl and turns his golden-brown gaze up to Anakin. “And what does Mr. Skywalker think?” he asks, raising a hand for Anakin to take. It’s very obvious he’s asking for a hand up and Anakin is obeying before he thinks about it. He snatches his hand free almost too soon, but Dr. Kenobi doesn’t even have the grace to lose his balance and fall over. 

His hand is like ice in Anakin’s, and Anakin stuffs his fingers into the pocket of his jacket automatically a second later.

“Do brussel sprouts help with circulation?” he’s biting out before he can stop himself. “Cause you may need some then.”

Kenobi’s head tilts very slightly to the side as his eyes catch and hold onto Anakin’s. “Oh?” he asks lightly. 

“You’re cold,” is all Anakin mutters in return. He swipes his other hand against the back of his neck. “”S poor circlutation, isn’t it? Something in your diet maybe?” Dr. Kenobi blinks at him and then breaks into a wide smile. “I can assure my diet is very…circulation-mindful,” he says. “Blood health positive.”

Anakin’s mouth thins into a line. He guesses that’s what he gets for trying to give health advice to a doctor, especially a doctor like Kenobi who just so happens to be devastatingly attractive and also smart.

And also an asshole. And also married.

Speaking of which. “Are you here to fend off your wife’s admirers with a scalpel?” Kenobi’s eyebrows raise. “Young ones,” he turns his head away from Anakin, down to the children.

The strangest feeling breaks of Anakin the second Kenobi looks away, almost as if a strange pressure he hadn’t even realized had been building was suddenly dissolved.

The very small beginnings of a headache begin to thrum in his temples.

“Young ones, it’s time to find your parents, isn’t it?” Kenobi says, and like fucking magic, the crowd of six children around Anakin disperse, children swarming away from him towards the group of adults surrounding the front desk.

“Can you teach me how to do that?” Anakin blurts out, even though he’d meant to ignore Kenobi now that he doesn’t have to make nice in front of small kids. Not that he was really making nice in the first place. But now he definitely doesn’t have to.

Kenobi gives him a half-smile, eyes heavy-lidded. “It’s a special sort of skill that takes, above all else, much practice.”

Anakin scowls. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Does Kenobi think he can’t commit himself to something even as mundane as a fucking commanding persona? Does he think he doesn’t have it in him to be–-

Kenobi’s eyebrows go up again. “Has anyone ever told you that you are exceedingly defensive?” 

“You’re extremely nosey,” Anakin snaps back, crossing his arms over his chest. “Don’t you have better things to focus on right now anyway?”

He gestures loosely towards Satine, who has started playing with one of the mother’s bracelets as the other woman stands and looks at her rather dumbfounded.

Kenobi follows his gaze and then lets out a huff of laughter. “Satine can take care of herself,” he says, even though it hadn’t really been Satine that Anakin was worried about.

He’s about to open his mouth to say so when Kenobi turns back to him. His eyes are piercing, a dark, captivating sort of gold. 

“Do you find my wife beautiful, Anakin?” he asks.

Anakin blinks. His headache is getting worse, which is probably down to what can only be a trick-question fashioned to look like a grenade lobbed at his feet. “I don’t think there’s a good answer to that,” he mutters, rubbing absently at his forehead. “What the fuck.”

“An honest answer is a good one,” Kenobi says lightly. “Tell me honestly.”

The words feel pulled from Anakin’s stomach, and he’s opening his mouth before he realizes it. “No,” he says. 

Kenobi’s eyebrows crinkle together. “No?”

Anakin curses his stupid impulse control. “She’s beautiful,” he adds quickly. “Really. But…it makes me uncomfortable.”

Kenobi’s lips purse, and then there’s something like disappointment in his eyes as he examines Anakin. “Ah yes,” he murmurs. “I’ve been told my wife can make countless young men feel rather uncomfortable. It’s normal in men your age, Anakin. Sexual ar—”

“Uncanny,” Anakin blurts out. He doesn’t mean to, but he also doesn’t want to listen to  Kenobi trying to lecture him on fucking arousal in the public library. When it’s not even relevant. “She’s so beautiful, it’s uncanny.”

“Uncanny.”

“Yeah, like. Monstrous.”

Kenobi’s mouth falls open, pink lips parted in what looks like honest surprise.

Anakin’s own eyes widen as it hits him that he’s just called Kenobi’s wife a monster to Kenobi’s face.

“Shit,” he says. “Sorry. I didn’t mean that. I’m going to go.” 

He throws a look at Kenobi, whose eyes are lit with something a lot like interest and then across the library to where Satine’s head is turned, cocked, and eyebrows up high on her forehead, as if she’s just heard everything he’s said.

He decides rather immediately that he’s going to take the backdoor exit.

Clone Wars Hospital AU Headcanons

Forgive me my shameless indulgence, but years of working in a hospital has given me Thoughts™ so just for some stupid fun: Welcome to the GHR: the Grand Hospital of the Republic! Where the Jedi are doctors, the clones are nurses, and the padawans are interns

501st battalion: Paediatrics

212th battalion: Maternity

104th battalion: Gen-Med

327th battalion: Orthopedics

Corrie Guard: Emergency Department

Headcanons below:

Paediatrics: Ward 501, Paediatrician Dr Anakin Skywalker

The ward is split on loving or hating Anakin, there's no in between

He's great with the kids though, the patients love him

Rex is the unit manager who has more experience than Anakin despite Anakin “outranking” him

Has to gently steer Anakin back on track and wearily remind him not to make orders just to spite other doctors

Constant happy music playing in the ward, everyone has fun accessories and brightly coloured scrubs

Fives and Echo are the most senior nurses and also the worst influences

Together they can cannulate a kid without them even noticing but also they're the ones shit-talking the annoying/unhelpful parents in the nurses' station five minutes later

If the kids are extra good, Jesse lets them colour in his tattoo

Dogma and Tup are the new grads - Tup is great with the kids, gentle and always gets them smiling, Dogma makes them cry no matter how hard he tries

Kix is NICU-trained and somehow still remembers every single piece of anatomy and physiology from training. Unparallelled medication knowledge. He’s the one all the student nurses want to be paired with

Ahsoka is on her paediatric rotation under Anakin's instruction

She's the intern the nurses give their feedback and requests to when they don't want to talk to Anakin, because they know Anakin will listen to Ahsoka over them

Maternity: Ward 212, Obstetrician Dr Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan works closely with Anakin, refers most of his clients there for their child’s care

Anakin did rotations with him in training, Obi-Wan sometimes forgets that he's now a fully registered doctor and will still try to instruct/encourage him

Obi-Wan has borrowed Ahsoka for days in clinic or in the birthing unit, during which time the nurses will spend their entire shift trying to convince her to come to their unit instead

Obi-Wan is beloved by the nurses because he actually asks them for their input, unlike SOME doctors who just give orders (Anakin)

Did you catch him talking to the unit manager after handover this morning?? Hardcore flirting at 7:05am?? Cody was definitely into it

Cody is one of the most involved unit managers - he’s on the floor with the other nurses most days, always staying overtime and pulling double shifts to help keep things running smoothly

Waxer and Boil are considered bad luck charms - whenever they’re rostered on the same shift, things will always go to shit

God forbid either of them mentions it being “nice” or “quiet” on any given day - that just guarantees that three minutes later they’ll have five labouring people come in actively pushing 

The two of them once delivered a baby in the parking lot outside because the mother didn’t make it in time - the parents still bring Numa in to visit sometimes

Their nurses have the best stories, sometimes even more gory than ED

General Medical: Ward 104, Physician Dr Plo Koon

Has Dr Plo been here forever?? Nobody at the hospital can remember a time he didn't work here

The best doctor, agreed by all nurses and patients

Keeps offering free check-ups to the nurses on the ward

Brings snacks for the nurses' station

Wolffe is the scariest unit manager there is - grads and students are terrified of him

The unit is the most efficient in the hospital because of it

God help the pathologist who loses a sample from them. He will not hesitate to riskman you

*Over the PA* “Visiting hours finish at 1900. It is now 1902. Get the fuck out.”

Emergency Department: Corrie Guard, lawless wasteland

Boost, Comet and Sinker knew him in training and are immune to his glare, they use this power to constantly fuck with him

Caffeinated to the point of medical concern

Lectures drunk uni students about the dangers of alcohol before finishing night shift at 0730 and going home to drink wine straight from the bottle

If Fox has to triage one more belligerent idiot demanding immediate attention for a stubbed toe he's going to come through the plastic window and throw hands

Take the turkey sandwich and shut the fuck up

Constant arguments with the ward over whether or not the patients are stable enough for ward transfer

Just take the fucking patient Wolffe, they've got enough to deal with down here, they're bed blocked and there's a line out the door

Orthopedics: Ward 327, Orthopedic surgeon Dr Aayla Secura

They all started in sports science

The most jacked nurses

Group gym sessions before or after shifts

I don't care if you're tired. You're getting out of that bed whether you want to or not. Use it or lose it. Mobilise, bitch.

They’re the ones who keep stealing the bladder scanner from gen med but won’t admit to it

If you witnessed the incident between Dr Secura and the unit manager Bly at the last Christmas party, no you didn't

Bonus:

The Bad Batch are agency nurses, they go where they're needed and everyone hates them because they make more on the hour for it

Weird mish-mash of different skills and background knowledge

Will go eat dinner in their car instead of in the break room with the other nurses

Tech will not stop correcting people on the wards he’s put on, he is not popular for this despite mostly being right

“You can’t nurse-initiate that drug.”

“That phone order is invalid. We need to call the doctor for another.”

“The patient’s blood pressure is 135/82. This is technically outside normal parameters.”

Crosshair openly shit talks the other nurses with his patients because he knows he won’t be there tomorrow to catch the fallout

Can you maybe do a one shot with Beau and Ally and a pregnancy scare?

You don’t realise your pregnant not until you collapse in the middle of your opening arguments. You'd been feeling dizzy and sick before you entered the courtroom. There'd been a sharp pain in your shoulder.

You’ve been married a year at this point, you and Beau have just moved into a house in San Diego, close to the base.

By the time you wake up in hospital it’s all over. 

A miscarriage you’re told in the aftermath. You were two months pregnant, and you’d had no clue.  Your periods were irregular at best so when you hadn’t had one, you hadn’t even considered the reason could be pregnancy. Beau and you were usually so careful. You had no idea how it happened.

“St Patrick’s Day,” Beau reminds you when the two of you get home from the hospital. You’d both been drinking; he couldn’t get the condom on, and you couldn’t wait. It was just once, but once was enough.

He wakes up that night to the sound of you crying. He wraps his arms around you, bundling you up in the sheets as he draws you to his chest. Your sobs vibrating through your entire body as he cradles you close.

Neither of you wanted that baby. Your pasts are too chequered, your experiences tainted by the violence you’d both experienced as children. However, it still hurts, to know that you’d created something in an act of love, to have it taken away from you before you’ve barely had a second to comprehend it.

This feeling he has, the one that sits in his chest, he never wants to experience it again and he knows that you don’t either.

It’s a week later that he books his vasectomy and the two of you, never look back.

[thecleverqueer]

I’ve probably talked about this before, but now that she’s actually coming back, I would like to reiterate my hopes and fears for Barriss Offee.

I’ll start by saying that I do not think that Barriss accepting her role as an Inquisitor with open arms is very likely.

I mean, her whole reason for blowing up the Jedi temple in the first place was because she thought that the Jedi had become an army fighting for the darkness. So, her openly embracing the ideology of the Empire seems wildly out of character. For this reason, my hope for her would be that she is doing what she must to survive, that she is using her status as an Inquisitor as a springboard for escape, and that she will succeed in her efforts.

My fear for her is that she absolutely will not survive. The likelihood of her getting offed in this is relatively high. She could get unceremoniously iced by a fellow Inquisitor (my guess would be the Fourth Sister, who bails her out of jail in the first place). Equally likely, she could get offed by Vader… and not for the reasons everyone thinks which is to exact revenge for what happened to Ahsoka. Let’s face it. Vader doesn’t give two shits about Ahsoka at this point. Vader was going to ice Ahsoka himself before Filoni put time travel wormholes into the Star Wars universe so that Ahsoka could be ripped through it before meeting her untimely demise at Vader’s hand. No. He’d kill Barriss for something far more arbitrary. Something that would suck, but also would be incredibly unpoetic, lazy and unfulfilling after not seeing her for over a decade. And, this is why it feels so likely, I guess. Why wasn’t she in Rebels or Kenobi or any other media with Inquisitors? Did she find some sort of freedom and lay low until the dust settled? Or did she get un-alived? Her odds? Not great.

Which leads me back to my hopes for her… I want her to make it through this era. I want her to find someone like Baylon to hang out with. Maybe she’ll find a convent of former Jedi that didn’t want to bend to the will of the Empire, but also felt that the Jedi had lost their way and so they worked to make themselves into something else. Not good, but not necessarily bad or, at least, not intentionally bad.

I’d like for her to run into Ahsoka…. but not in the Tales of the Empire series… somewhere else. Based on the fact that Ahsoka is still being salty about all of the things that happened to her in her teen years in her series, I don’t feel as if she and Barriss had the chance to ever kiss and makeup.

I honestly feel as if Ahsoka, ultimately, fell victim to Barriss’s wild inability to improvise. I don’t think Barriss framed her on purpose (at least, canon, and that deleted scene where Barriss hugs Ahsoka as she is being escorted out of the temple after being expelled from the order, seems as if it could support my head-canon). It would be, at the very least, nice to get confirmation of this… OR, why the fuck she chose to frame Ahsoka for it if it was a conscious decision. Like, I get that she was the only person that could have railroaded Ahsoka’s emotions like that, but come on. There had to be a lead up.

I also don’t see it being very in-character for Ahsoka to off Barriss in a showdown. That’s another place where it would be kind of lame if there is an Ahsoka versus Inquisitor Barriss duel in this. Ahsoka doesn’t seem bent on killing for revenge even in her lowest moments, and she is wasn’t able to bring herself to kill Barriss before when Barriss was infected by the brain worms. I feel as though Ahsoka would forgive Barriss for what happened… assuming Barriss asked for forgiveness. And, Barriss would. In something like this, a short, we’d end up getting a heartless, quasi-emotionless duel between the two of them that would end almost as unceremoniously as Vader offing Barriss (because clearly Ahsoka would win). No. At least, I hope not.

So yeah. TL/DR: Hope Barriss survives to fight another day.

Me, who does not have the time and energy to write fic:

Choice versus duty-themed Codywan series:

Part One: Early Clone Wars era, finding common ground between the requirements of duty and the choices both of them make that might go against these requirements. Actually written, go me! -> The ground between unstoppable force and immovable object

Part Two: Post-Deception, angsty, established (now on the rocks) relationship, after Obi-Wan put his duty to keep quiet about the mission over the choice to tell Cody that they were going to fake his death. Maybe an aspec queer-platonic relationship, since I'm already being self-indulgent about this and want to do Jedi are empaths and it's bad for them if no one feels nice feelings at them every now and then. The idea that started this whole thing, actually, when I asked for prompts last year and got Do you still love me?

Part Two, fork in the road: Based on this, mid-Deception, short and fun, outside POV, getting together. Cody takes one look at Hardeen, recognizes him for who he is, and invites himself along. The POV criminals and Anakin all assume Kenobi's clone commander helped Hardeen kill Kenobi and now the two of them are on the run/shacking up together. Bonus point if I can include Yoda going Expected this, we should have.

Part Three: Kenobi era, freshly de-chipped Cody gets plopped onto Tatooine and into Obi-Wan's lap to recover and regain his sense of self. Features Obi-Wan having chosen the duty to look after his fallen ex-padawan's child, Cody feeling like he owes it to his brothers to join the rebellion and free them, as he was freed, and, eventually, both of them choosing that, after all that happened, all they did and lost, all they struggled and failed, they deserve to have each other.

tl;dr: Help, I'm having creation ideas above my skill (and time and energy) level!

The Choice is Yours

I have decided that I will run for President of the United States during the next election in 2028. You will say 'but Dave, you can't because you are not an American.' This is true but I suspect that some of the rules around such things might be up for change over the next few years. Consider the fact that I will be in my 70's by then so just in the prime of my candidacy life. I like to do things my own way so that seems to be a plus. I am considering doing something illegal (not too serious mind you) so that I can put a criminal conviction on my resume. All of these factors favor me greatly. So what is my next step? I need to start putting together who my Cabinet will be (providing there will still be one at that time). Here are my selections for nomination that should help swing things in my favor:

Secretary of Defense: Chuck Norris. Who would want to mess with us if he is in charge of all the fighting? I dare say no one.

Secretary of Homeland Security: Also Chuck Norris. He can double up. There will be no need to build a wall to keep people out. Just have Chuck stand at the southern border and dare people to cross.

Attorney General: Kim Kardassian. (if she is too busy Judge Judy). Kim will make sure all black men get a fair shake. Despite the fact she has no formal legal training she will fit into the precedents currently being set.

Secretary of State: Mr. Rogers. He will make the entire world neighbors and give them a new sweater to boot.

Secretary of Labor: Nick Cannon. No one lately has put so many women into a position of labor as he has.

Secretary of the Interior: Obi Wan Kenobi. Great opportunity to use the force for something good like keeping the lights on.

Secretary of Education: Joey Tribbiani. After this department is disbanded in the next 90 days it will require baby steps to bring it back so they have to keep education simple. He is the man for that.

Director of National Intelligence: Mr. Bean. The enemy will be so confused there will be no threat. They will spend years trying to figure out what he is saying and why is he doing what he is doing.

Head of White House Communications: Porky Pig. We won't want many questions answered and he will ensure that brilliantly.

Director of Veterans Affairs: Dr. Doolittle. Sorry, I read that title wrong. I thought it was for Veterinarian affairs. My bad. I will have to look around for a while.

Secretary of the Treasury: Scrooge McDuck. The money will be hoarded nicely. Only drawback will be keeping him from swimming in it daily. I will have my picture put onto the new $3 bill. The other side will cryptically depict a beaver eating poutine and an igloo.

Secretary of Transportation: Thomas the Train. This will get the kids interested in politics at an early age instead of them having to look up who is running the day before an election.

I would also like to propose a new position just for fun: Secretary of Silly Walks. John Cleese come on down!

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: We always have choices. Who we are is revealed by the choices we make.

Incident at Isla Nublar

read it on the AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/52637257 by grapenehi “I realize I had your dick in my hand at the time, but you did promise me co-authorship on a paper.” “You see, Dr. Skywalker, this is exactly the sort of conversation that I requested we not have while standing out in the open of our dig site in the middle of the day.” Anakin laughed again. Obi-Wan wanted to kiss him again. It was sort of becoming a whole thing. Obi-Wan is a paleontologist, Anakin is his single-parent paleobotanist postdoc, and they get an offer to join Count Dooku, Ahsoka, and Maul for a fun weekend in Costa Rica.

[sendpseuds]

the dichotomy between dr. kenobi and ben is fascintating. the fact that his ex wanted dr. kenobi all the time but he doesn't see himself as dr. kenobi is so interesting! the question of which version of us is our true face and which is the name on the desk that we take off when we leave work. but they're both us, just different facets of the same person. but that begs the question of whether ben views himself as truly separate from dr. kenobi or if that's just how his ex/everyone else sees him and he's just out there living his best life and understood the assignment on being "professional" at work a little too well :P because of course he's not going to be shirtless at work and being able to choose which patients know he has tattoos based on what will make them more comfortable is just being a good therapist.

Yeah, I think there are a lot of layers here that I haven't 100% worked through yet but, hey, let's give it a shot!

So, there are actually sort of three facets at play here: Dr. Kenobi - behavioral therapist Ben - the name/persona he uses online Obi-Wan - the man who is both of those people

Let's start with Dr. Kenobi. I sort of like the idea that this persona is as much a function of self-preservation as it is of professionalism. I could really see Obi-Wan having a difficult time separating himself from his work, at least early on. I can imagine him taking on a lot of his patients' emotions and trauma, sharing more of himself than he should, bringing his work home with him. Eventually, he realizes there needs to be a barrier between Obi-Wan and Dr. Kenobi. So, he creates a "uniform" of sorts to help him make that distinction in his own life. It's less that Dr. Kenobi is a different person and more that Obi-Wan needs to keep that part of his life separate, and when he gets home, he doesn't want to put the fake glasses back on.

Now, Ben— I think Ben more or less is Obi-Wan. Probably a little more uninhibited, though I don't think he needs to be online to be a bit of a freak, but it's definitely a very specific part of him that comes out here.

Wait.

Hold on.

Oh, for fuck's sake am I splitting this man into id, ego, and super ego??

I'm... does this make me an idiot or a genius?

Don't answer that.

Let's talk about the ex before I lose my mind.

More than likely, Obi-Wan's ex here is Cody [I have other plans for Satine, plus talking about his ex-husband is a very easy way for Anakin to realize Ben is gay] I'm thinking this was one of those relationships where Boring Partner marries Fun Partner because Fun Parter is Fun but eventually Boring Partner realizes he kind of wishes Fun Partner wasn't so Fun all the time. So, it's not necessarily that Cody wanted him to be "Dr. Kenobi" all the time, but he would take Obi-Wan to fancy cocktail bars and shows in the hopes that Obi-Wan would embrace the suits and the status as his new normal, but no matter how hard he tried, Obi-Wan would always prefer a worn graphic tee and a rock show in a dirty bar. Eventually, it just became clear they wanted very different lives.

There is so much to dig through here, and it will all have to come down to a "who are you really?" kind of conversation. I'm really excited to find those answers.

Zuko arches his eyebrow. “There is,” Sokka insists. “Stop that. Don’t smirk at me.” “So what is it,” Zuko says, smirking. Sokka thinks for a moment, wildly. “Static… electricity,” he says.

[tennessoui]

Anakin in the old guard au, making his slow, slow way down to the hospital chapel in his wheelchair, having had a "religious awakening" when a week before he was an avowed atheist: Hurry up, I can't be late for confession! Poor hospital orderly transporting him: Yeah sure I believe you. Obi-Wan in the chapel, trying to do whatever his undercover stuff is: (sighing but fighting a smile) Anakin this is the third time today. Anakin: I've sinned so much since lunchtime! There was theft! Sinful theft of the strawberry jello!

[palfriendpatine66]

20 Question Fic Writer Tag

1.) How many works do you have on ao3?

19, soon to be 20! ( three are just little prompt fills/drabbles that I’ve considered removing but also – I want to be able to find them again just in case they ever turn into something more so.)

2.) What's your ao3 word count? 

306, 375

3.) What fandoms do you write for? 

Star Wars. That’s it, and probably all it will ever be (except for my crazy crossover aus). It’s a full time job over here.

4.) What are your top five fics by kudos?

DX:Lovesick (I had a really weird moment when this passed PIP in the kudos count. Like, I love it and was really proud of it, but also: how dare it). Anakin is an accident prone college student who winds up in the care of one very hot Dr. Obi-Wan Kenobi

Pining in Preschool: My first ever fic (started exactly one year ago!) Anakin is trying his best to be a good dad to his twins, and that probably means he shouldn’t be falling for their preschool teacher.

Hide Here Often: This is bottom Obi-Wan smutty one shot

Helicopter Dad: This is a continuation of Pining in Preschool: 4 times that Anakin was a Helicopter parent and one time Obi-Wan beat him to it. I’ve been intending to do a part two with Obi-Wan ever since, but it hasn’t happened yet.

With a Cherry on Top: This is a ridiculous continuation of Pining in Preschool – Obi-Wan and Anakin get in a fight about eating in bed that results in a sex ban until one of them backs down. Spoiler alert: it ends with a sexy food in bed scenario because *of course* if they break they have to prove a point about it

5.) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to always yes. I used to have a 100% track record, and I really wish I was maintaining it. Comments are my lifeblood. I literally cannot tell you how important receiving comments is to me, it’s like, a problem honestly, and so it’s definitely something I want to encourage. I try to always respond to a comment at least as an acknowledgement of “I appreciate you were here and took the time to let me know you liked this”. BUT also I genuinely love engaging about my fics and am more than happy to go on my “Author’s Commentary” spiel at any given moment.

Life’s kind of been shit lately, and I’ve had a hard time if I don’t respond to comments right away as they come in they get lost in my inbox. Also. ADHD.

6.) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

OoOoOo Window AU – to be revealed tomorrow. I don’t have the ending for Criminal Minds fully written, but even though it might be a “happy ending” it’s not going to be a happy ending, if you know what I mean. OH BUT if I ever write my post order 66 Obi-Wan on Tatooine vague idea for which the working title is “Obi-Wan Sads”. Yeah. That will probably be the worst.

7.) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Hmm. Pining for Preschool probably. It ends on a very high note, although also it’s not really an ending because I continued it into a potentially never ending series that seems to be 90% fluff after the angst I put them through in the original fic.

Also Center Stage (dance au)was a happy ending for sure.

8.) Do you get hate on fics?

No, generally all my comments are very positive. There was a weird moment in DX:Lovesick where I wasn’t necessarily getting the hate but Obi-Wan was, and he was getting a lot of it. I wasn’t upset by the comments so much as I was worried that I didn’t write well/clear enough to convey the situation as I thought I was, but I settled on people are going to read their own situations into stories and interpret it differently than intended and that’s okay.

9.) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes. The Obi-Wan and Anakin kind.

10.) Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I had a fit of insanity and wrote an Obikin Titanic au.

11.) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I hope not. That would be sad

12.) Have you ever had a fic translated?

I don’t think so no

13.) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Nope! I think I have too much anxiety to commit to doing this, even with the right people. Put expectations on things and I just…can’t.

14.) What's your all time favorite ship?

IDK man. Kovu and Kiara from Lion King II: Simba’s Pride

15.) What's a WIP you'd like to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Right at the time I started writing PiP I started a time travel (?) au that resulted in amnesiac Knight Skywalker as master to padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi right when he rejoins the order after returning from Melida/Daan, instead of rejoining Qui-Gon. I would be shocked if I ever get back to thin, I really jumped the gun and there’s so much of it I don’t have in me, but…there’s still something about it that calls to me.

16.) What are your writing strengths?

I always feel super awkward answering this, but I feel pretty good about capturing Obi-Wan and Anakin’s voices, especially their internal voices (if that makes sense) so that they still feel like them in other universes

17.) What are your writing weaknesses?

Oh gosh. I am learning as I go. Outlining/having a plan and sticking to it vs. just winging it as I go along. Knowing where paragraphs should start and end – which feels like you should just *know* but I don’t. Descriptions.

18.) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Great! But I’m not fluent enough in anything to do it

19.) First fandom you wrote for?

Star Wars – Hiiiii!

Also, though, the only other stuff I wrote was Star Wars but the year was 2005 and it was for an audience of one (me!). Your Pal was a nerd who carried around a little notebook and wrote down every piece of jedi wisdom and quotes I encountered while I wrote about Obi-Wan and his OC apprentice who was *definitely*not*me* (their name was literally an anagram of my name lol) on their long term undercover mission on Earth, among other things.

20.) Favorite fic you've ever written?

This varies by the mood. I genuinely love Pining in Preschool, and it will always have a really special place in my heart. Dx:Lovesick was a very fun ride, I really and truly enjoyed writing it  and I feel like it holds up. Right now I’m pretty attached to Criminal Minds, for a completely different dynamic and take on obikin.

Syria!Series Part One: Syria: Beau 'Cyclone' Simpson x Reader

Tagging: @crazy4chickennuggets @kmc1989 @withakindheartx @chickensrule @iwannabeinthesequalmrghostface @justameresimp @handsupforamiracle @lxaah11 @librarian1002 @littlebadariell @imaginecrushes @luckyladycreator2 @flrboyd @nani-kenobi @areamir @b-bradshaw @adaydreamaway08 @crimeshowjunkie @shepgurl @ashcosmo @inkandarsenic @caffeinatedwoman @tortilla-maria1 @lemmons1998 @dr-alan-grantler @dizzybee03 @watashiwasun @burningpeachpuppy @penguin876 @haley-hotchner @deliriousfangirl61 @agentorange9595

You’ve been married to Beau three years when he’s deployed to Syria. You’re situated in San Diego, working with the Victim’s Support Service. The two of you have talked about settling down here, you both love the area and Beau’s up for promotion soon which will give him more stability and better choice of assignments. It feels like the right time to put down roots.

The first indication you get that something is wrong is when Commander Larson steps into your office. You’re too enthralled in the casefile you’re reading to register his presence until you hear the door click shut behind him.

It’s the expression in his face that stops you in your tracks. You’ve seen Commander Larson deliver bad news a handful of times throughout your career and he has the exact same look in his eyes now.

“Beau’s been captured.” He tells you.

You don’t hear anything else after that, just the roaring of blood in your ears as selective words filter through. You learn that it had happened during a navy training exercise, that a Syrian officer he had been working with was also taken.  

You fall apart, for two whole days you’re a complete mess because the love of your life is missing and there’s fuck all you can do about it.

It’s Soloman that calls you from a military hospital in Damascus, that tells you the unofficial story. Three hours ago Beau had turned up at a military checkpoint gravely injured, dragging Captain Zadir Abadi, along with him. The two of them had been barely alive when they’d been airlifted.

“It’s bad Ally, they tortured him.” Soloman tells you, you can see the gravity of the situation in his features as he rubs his palm over his weary features. “He’s been stabbed multiple times, they’re not sure he’s going to make it through the night.”

You go to church that evening, for the first time since you left Idaho. You light a candle, and you say a prayer because there’s nothing else that you can do and the reality of that devastates you. You don’t sleep, you don’t eat, instead you lie on the couch with a pillow clasped to your chest watching reruns of Friends and waiting for your phone to ring.

Solomon calls again in the afternoon; he looks as exhausted as you feel. His jaw line is peppered with five o’clock shadow and his eyes bloodshot.

“They’ve taken him back into surgery.” He tells you, shaking his head. “He started bleeding again this morning, if they can’t get it under control…”

He looks away from the screen, swallowing hard before he opens his mouth to speak.

“Zahir passed away this morning.” Solomon tells you. “His injuries were too great, infection set in. There was nothing the doctors could do.”

You close your eyes for a second, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth because you hear the undercurrent of what he’s saying.

Prepare yourself.

You don’t sleep again that night.

***

Beau survives the surgery. He spends days drifting in and out of consciousness, in a haze of agony and numbness. The painkillers they give him are strong, they mess with his head, twisting his dreams and reality into one long nightmare.

The only consistent thought he has is you. He wants you; he thinks he tells Solomon that when he’s semi lucid. The next time he’s awake Solomon hands him his tablet and there you are on the screen, looking as pretty as the day he met you.

“Ally,” He drawls as he settles back into the pillows.

It’s the first time he’s laid eyes on you since this whole ordeal started and he feels so fucking relieved to see you. You were the only thing he thought about during his time in that bunker, the thing that kept him going. Everytime they cut into his flesh, stabbed him, humiliated him, he thought about you, that smile, that laugh, the way you look at him like he was the only man in the entire world.

“Beau.” You whisper and he smiles, tears searing at his eyes because just hearing the sound of your voice soothes something deep inside his soul.

“Talk to me.” He requests, his head coming to rest against the pillows. “I just need to hear your voice.”
