(prev anon about anakin being a zeus kid) yeah that makes a lot of sense! anakin being unable to do what he enjoys hurts so much but is also so real for him. love palps being zeus’ kid lmao would he be aged down or still old, like another member of camp staff?
it is very angsty (anakin being in a plane phase but his mom has instilled upon him the importance of never flying ever because Zeus would absolutely strike down that plane because of who anakin’s dad is)
But I also think it would be a little funny like. 25 year old bitch Obi-Wan rescues this kid from a Minotaur or something and gets pulled into a cross country trip to try and get him somewhere he can be safe and one day anakin’s prattling on about planes and obi-wan is like that’s a great idea why don’t we fly to New York!
and anakin is like. No mom says I can’t fly or else the plane will be struck by lightning and crash and I’ll die
and obi-wan is like. what.
#asks#obikin#pjo au#and yeah Palpatine would be his old self#lrobably big in American politics#very evil#tries to convince anakin that he doesn’t need obiwan because he’s so powerful#and only another person with that same power can help him and understand him#and it almost works

I feel like I need to clarify. I like the whole “The Jedi code is like an itch; their compassion leaves a trail.” thing but more as a ‘values that the best and most true Jedi hold’ and that sort of futile idealism people believe applies to the jedi as a whole.
But I hate when people take that line and use it as a reason to discount people arguing against the Jedi.
Like you need to see the difference between ideals and values vs action.
I love that u love ur jedi and what they stand for, but i need you to understand that the jedi actually SUCK and thats okay (for you to like them in spite of such). Stop trying to convince people of their goodness bc for sure, some of them are good, but that doesnt make them representative.
The jedi fell bc they were a working part of a corrupt system and u literally can’t take their responsibility for that away just bc u wunna hold their hand and giggle. Root for them but dont talk to anyone amidst your delusion where the meow meow jedi can do no wrong. Do you understand?
“Their compassion leaves a trail…its like an itch” and I would see so many people use it like “See? The jedi are peak perfection and good!” and im like, “No! They arent! Anakin’s entire origin story is a prime example as to why!”
This was unironically canon:
Anakin: tries to literally do the most for one ounce of approval
Obiwan: 😐 your desire for praise will be your undoing.
Anakin: 😦
Can you not see he is DESPERATE for something he’s done to be recognised. His inner child is begging to be seen. His outer child is doing its best to be worthy of it and every time he thinks “this is it, this time—“ he’s basically smited.
Anakin knows love and affection through the eyes of a slave. Blunt honesty and proof through care and being there (action) and staying through thick and thin. He doesn’t need you to burn down a planet because that’s HIS love language, thats how HE shows he cares, not how he needs others to show it.
Because he feels he’s not good enough—burning down a planet, in his mind, shows the people he cares for that he would do anything for them of it’s in his power to do so, and that he really means it when he says he loves them. Grand gestures are how HE shows love because he feels like anything else is as inadequate as he is
Being abandoned and never told he’s loved and cared for is a big reason his affections and attachments turn obsessive. He’s never been given anything concrete, he’s never shown that people care in a way he can understand. They think “I said hi to him and spoke up for him and trained him and gave him camaraderie—thats proof I love him” and think Anakin can properly differentiate it between duty and not.
He thinks, “my master is my master but he only cares for the Jedi and I can’t live without him but he could without me bc I’m a burden and will never be good enough or perfect like Obi-wan” bc Obi-wan isn’t honest with himself or Anakin, and you can see this etched into the very lines of his story no matter where you look.
He doesn’t say “i love you” to Anakin’s face until he’s literally chopped Anakin’s limbs off and left him to die on Mustafar, and even then it’s ambiguous. Anakin understands there is SOME sort of affection between him and Obi-wan that goes both ways but in the end, he never feels like he can truly tell Obi-wan anything without being shunned, misunderstood, or lectured, when all he needs is someone to talk to and hold close without fearing theyll leave him behind when he disappoints them.
One of the only people to ever outright tell Anakin what they feel was his mom, and she ended up dead bc Anakin was told he was being irrational about her and his visions of her death; and the fact that his mother was one of the only people to ever tell him she loved him and was proud, and that she was one of the only people who would never turn her back on him when he wasnt perfect (bc she thought he was perfect anyway. Her love for anakin was unconditional whereas everyone elses’ seemed to be very obviously conditional) and that terrified him bc following her death, the only other person left was Padmé, in their very unhealthy, very suspicious, co-dependant romance.
But even then, since she was the ONLY ONE he knew for sure how they felt, he was terrified something would happen to her and that she would leave him too—be it through death or finding someone to replace him (visions + irrationally believing she and Obi-wan were having an affair). He was obsessive and possessive and I honestly can’t blame him, especially from a psychological standpoint—and even more especially, from a child psychology standpoint. He was never given a reason or a chance to nurture any secure attachment style, especially when faced with the first 10 years of his life as a slave? Yikes.
He was obsessed with his relationships because he never had anything else to hold on to (from his perspective), and do you know who took gleeful advantage of that? Palpatine.
Anakin only wanted to be good enough, to make people proud, to give them a reason to tell him they love him. And maybe the one person he wanted to lure in the most was Obi-wan, who viciously shunned him for that, even when he would sparsely give anakin the praise he wanted so desperately
Anakin said, “I beat you! I won!” All giddy and self-assured after a spar with Obi-wan and instead of allowing that feeling of accomplishment, of the desire to make his master proud, Obi-wan just looked at him and said with shame, “Your need for praise will be your undoing,” and in the end, he wasn’t wrong. It was a self fulfilling prophecy.
Because in the end. The only person left who told Anakin he was proud was fucking slimy Palpatine, the dark lord of the goddamn sith.
Unfortunately, a lot of explicitly pro-jedi/jedi apologist fandom participants like to “interpret” the Jedi code themselves. They make these incredibly long-winded, well thought-out posts explaining the meaning and how it works in practice and how the jedi embody this—BUT they never actually consider or address the literal canon aspects. Things we actually see with our eyes: the novelisations, the games, the shows, the movies.
You’d think, therefore they must be, right? Wrong. You say this is what the Jedi are like and while that’s beautifully wonderful and I wish you were right—that’s literally not what happens. Literally not what they’re like at all. It’s actively part of the plot.
I think your interpretations of the code are great but you act like that’s the reality we’re actually living in. You act like that’s what the shows tell you, rather than just what you want to believe based on your own interpretation of the code itself (ignoring lack of congruency we sometimes see in the shows or movies).
My point is, you can love the jedi while acknowledging their VERY obvious flaws. The flaws that destroy them, corrupt them, misguide them, make them terrible people. The flaws that cannot be retconned by one writer saying “its an itch” while pretending Anakin’s “Anakin Skywalker is dead. I killed him” makes up for the horrible things Old Hermit Kenobi does with luke.
So yeah.
Lets at least be real when we’re loving who we love.
#jedi critical#a greek tragedy#im not putting too many tags here bc i dont need people up my ass when theyre just tryna look at goofy little content bites#anakin believed obiwan was the perfect jedi and also not#and yet he tried to be great like him#even when his values clashed with obiwans decisions and opinions#he believed being the perfect jedi would get him all he desired. praise#recognition.#but how can one deny fundimental parts of themself and remain at all…capable#the jedi way was not for everyone. yet the jedi wanted it to be#the believed it was personal when one could not follow the jedi way. they believed it wad your fault.

If we succeed.” not giving up yet but.. . In the lab, Ahsoka’s team is infected but they join w Padme and jarjar to stop droids escaping with the virus. .

You just destroyed seventeen defenseless battle droids without suffering a scratch.” the EYEROLL as obiwan comes up behind him -another droids falls- “..Eighteen, actually.” anakin pls Also,, it’s the tiny things. The tiny nudge that ObiWan gives Anakin when he’s a bit harsh towards the kid . ObiWan and Anakin climb down a cliff with the suprising aid of a flying creature to find the root at the bottom. Anakin digs up the root with ObiWan watching their new problem of a spiky angry plant, before they both climb back up and out. They are warned they can’t leave, on trying they trigger lasers and have to turn back. They get a call from sick Padme and Ahsoka, leaving Anakin angry to get out while ObiWan tries to calm him down and offer a plan “Slow down, Anakin.” “Slow down? Slow down?! You saw them, Master, they’re dying!” “A great leap forwrad often requires first taking two steps back.” “And sometimes all it requires in the will to jump.” “At least hear me out on this.” and he does, because obiwan asked. . a new plan with the kid’s help, they head out again and make it, immediately heading back to Naboo. Anakin checks on Padme and Ahsoka, praising his padawan before he and obiwan wave the medical ship off “You did a fantastic job today, Snips.” “All thanks to your training, Master.” “Yeah, you’re right. I probably do deserve most of the credit. But not all of it.” “Good thing... I know you don’t mean... everything you say.” bless them
s1ep19 Storm Over Ryloth . Ahsoka is given her first command to take clones on a starfight, with a prep talk from her master. Anakin watches over their attack from the ship, orders her retreat as their main ship is blasted.

It wasn’t your fault.” [...] “Take heart little one. That’s the reality of command.” . Anakin update calls Windu and ObiWan and has Rex find Ahsoka who is upset.

After a moment, she rejoins Anakin in the hangar where he is commanding an evacation, having Rex take over he explains to Ahsoka the plan - he splits off alone to crash the ship into the enemy with ahsoka to defend him when he escapes it. Unsure,Ahsoka takes command and brief captains. Anakin sets his ship to crash and escapes in a pod waiting for team to pick him up. “Skyguy we’re approaching your position, stand by for retrieval.” . She commands another fleet out to attack and break the barrier, suceeding just as obiwan and windu’s ship appears reay to land as planned. “I won’t even ask where the rest of Anakin’s fleet is. Or why he’s in an escape pod.” he is so tired of these children but as long as theyre okay its fine “That’s... probably for the best.” like master like padawan, ahsoka
s1ep20 Innocents Of Ryloth . ObiWan and MaceWindu on planet, Obiwan with Cody and clones head to the surface to fight.

One of the things that is so much fun about STAR WARS fic is the potential to play with Dark!Anakin (sometimes Vaderkin, sometimes a different version of Sith!Anakin, sometimes just Anakin going down a dark path), where he’s fallen to the dark side, but is still wrapped up in all his issues, just more wild and fey now, more unstable and volatile and it’s so super delicious. ✦ Fire and Ice by Yesac, obi-wan & anakin & some anakin/padme & cast, 111.9k Anakin wins the duel on Mustafar, but doesn’t kill Obi-Wan. Along with Padme, Obi-Wan finds himself living in a chaotic world where the man he thought he knew has become the thing he swore to destroy. Can Anakin be turned back? If so, what then? ✦ A Walking Shadow by lilyconrad, obi-wan & anakin & padme & luke & leia & palpatine & cast, 74.6k It is five years into the Empire’s ascension, an order built on the blood and bodies of the Jedi.

Along with Padme, Obi-Wan finds himself living in a chaotic world where the man he thought he knew has become the thing he swore to destroy. Can Anakin be turned back? If so, what then? This is one of the earliest fics I read in the fandom and I imprinted hard on it, but I wasn’t sure if it would hold up to a reread, so I decided to pick it up again for another read–and it absolutely holds up. In a lot of ways, this is the fic that got me into this relationship–I liked both characters, I had feelings about their relationship, but this is one the that really cemented in that this is what I’m here for and this is so much of how I wanted to see them done. It’s resolutely a gen fic and I’m fine reading it in that vein, I enjoy their dynamic on that level as well, but I think it’s worth reading if you ship them as well, because their relationship is so important to both characters, it’s the foundation on which they stand for both of them, and it’s also just really, really spot on. This is an Anakin who has so much power at his fingertips, but is the emotionally weak one, this is an Anakin who is consumed by fear and anger and desperation and cravings for approval from those he loves, this is an Anakin who has such good in him, but took a very wrong turn. And this is an Obi-Wan who can be cut off from the Force, who can not be up to his usual speed, and yet he still has this iron will that’s incredible, he still looks Anakin right in the eye and refuses to be worn down, this is an Obi-Wan who cannot be compromised in the way Anakin wants him to be, because Obi-Wan’s strength of character is incredible. This is what I imprinted on and this is what I remain true to–that this is why they’re both such fascinating, complicated characters who become so entwined with each other and supporting each other and loving each other and trying to figure out a way forward together and working through their issues together, all in a way that’s about growth and healing in such a good, emotionally satisfying way. But also on a sheer id-pleasing level, the first half of this fic is fucking delicious, it’s the best “Anakin wins the duel on Mustafar and keeps Obi-Wan prisoner” fic I have ever found, it understands Obi-Wan’s character just as much as it understands Anakin’s character, how strength comes in different forms. That even without the Force, holy shit, Obi-Wan is goddamned nightmare because he’s so smart and he may not be the Chosen One, but he was one of the best of the Jedi. And, oh, Anakin so desperately trying to gain his approval, when he climbs into bed with Obi-Wan it was one of my favorite scenes, it didn’t need to be anything more than what it was to be perfect. There are a ton of character insights in this fic, there are some great lines, there’s a great plot, and the writing is top-notch. To this day, this fic remains my #1 favorite in this fandom, the first half of this fic especially is everything I want re: characterization and writing. It was practically emotional/id porn for me and even if you don’t usually read genfic, I would suggest giving this one a shot, because, boy, is it ultimately ever really, really about the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin and it delivers on the emotional climax moments. ✦ A Walking Shadow by lilyconrad, obi-wan & anakin & padme & luke & leia & palpatine & cast, 74.6k It is five years into the Empire’s ascension, an order built on the blood and bodies of the Jedi. None survived, they say, and the handsome, icy profile of Lord Vader plastered across every Imperial city leaves no room for doubt in the minds of many. But Vader knows there is at least one left, one that escaped him on Mustafar all those years ago. I’ve done several recs for this fic, which are all posted here, but I’m sticking with a single rec that won’t give too much away, but still hopefully tells you why you should read one of my favorite fics: This is one of the earliest fics of Lily’s that I read and it’s created a special place in my heart because I love the concept, that Anakin redemption fics are incredibly special to me, and I felt like I went on a bit of a journey with this one, that I’d been following it for awhile and each update meant something to me. Ultimately this fic is about the path of redemption, that it’s not an easy road to step onto, much less walk down one that never really has a specific end, and this fic does a beautiful job with that, how Anakin does such terrible things and the ways he is or isn’t able to come back from them. And while I love canon a great deal, Anakin never really was redeemed, he died to save his son, he had one moment of selflessness (in a selfish way, honestly, because that’s Anakin for you, I love him so much) rather than actually doing any of the work, but this is a story that has a real cost for him. This is a story where it’s not easy, where he struggles, but it’s worth it in the end. Because his chilren love him, because Obi-Wan loves him, because he can’t hurt any more people that he loves. It’s a story that’s novel length because that’s what it takes to write Anakin’s redemption in full like this, and it’s about the fight on Mustafar going differently, that leaves Vader without the suit, and I love that Padme is such an important weight in this story, even as it’s largely about Obi-Wan and Anakin at the heart of it. It’s an entirely gen fic, this is about them as brothers, but my id was pleased because they’re both parents to the children, because Obi-Wan is the shining light in Anakin’s darkness, because Anakin is the reason Obi-Wan gets out of bed in the morning, because the ending of the fic was so very, very Anakin Skywalker, so desperate to keep the people he loves close and safe, so teetering on the edge of darkness because he doesn’t know how to handle things, because he’s so wrenched around on the inside, and how things end up… I definitely kind of got a little misty-eyed by the end, because it was the exact bittersweet notes that a fic like this needed. Which isn’t to forget that there’s actually a plot going on here! And world-building! There are a lot of really cool, interesting details and a genuinely intense final fight that has shades of horror in it in such a great way, the creatures that show up in this fic, the Sith artifacts that are used, are genuinely creepy and had me on the edge of my seat while I was reading because the action was so good! But, oh, the second to last scene (and, hell, the epilogue as well), especially with the kids, just hit me right in the feelings place and I can’t tell you how satisfying this fic was. It’s such a good, good fic for all these elements, for both of these characters, for fans of plot, for fans of having to work for redemption and how that makes it all the more satisfying, for fans who just want a good story. I’m sad to see the story end, but it was a great end and so incredibly worth reading. ✦ Broken by lilyconrad, obi-wan/anakin & rex & padme & cast, NSFW, sith!obi-wan (sort of), dark themes, 38.6k The Twins are unstoppable enforcers of the Emperor’s will, the sun and moon that hang in the black void of his rule. It is said they are not the same age and that under their hoods they do not look alike, but they fight as one entity, silent and terrible as an eclipse in a spring sky. I’ve done several recs for this fic, which are all posted here, but I’m (mostly) sticking with an earlier rec that won’t give too much away, but still hopefully tells you why you should read one of my favorite fics: I don’t always go for really dark fic, but I’ve liked this author’s other work so much and there was the promise of Anakin riding Obi-Wan like a greedy, desperate thing, so, okay, I’ll give it a shot! And it’s really lovely writing and there’s something so entirely unsettling about the silence of the two of them, contrasted against how we’re familiar with them as loud and bantery characters, that they’re the old married couple who bickers constantly. Here, that’s been stripped away from them, instead it’s taken them down to little more than base instincts, yet that connection between them remains, and it’s the strength of the writing that really pulls that off, that really makes me able to see this and feel so much about it. That I still see the characters I knew from canon in these warped and twisted versions of them was heartbreaking, but also the thing that super made it worth reading. Well, that and the furiously intense aftermath of their mission where they crash against each other and the sex is rough and harsh and Anakin climbs onto Obi-Wan’s lap and rides him like a demon possessed and, okay, I’m really into that, the darker quality to their relationship, as well as the pretty writing. There’s such a lovely image in this moment: And then after more gasps and moans and fumbling with sweet slickness they had switched, Sen in the plush seat and the milky white disc of the planet outside a strange halo around Koh’s head as Koh rode him as hard as he could, thighs apart as he straddled Sen’s lap and their breaths harsh gasps against the faint ticking of the chronometer in the silence of the apartment. It’s taking all the good things about their relationship and inverting them, in some ways a negative image of what they are in canon, and making it lovely and heartbreaking and addictive. There are always undercurrents of darkness in the Star Wars canon, especially with these two, but they’re not always teased out in the right ways, but, oh, this one worked very, very well for me. Also, that sex scene was lovely and I’m always here for Anakin’s head crowned with a halo as he sits on Obi-Wan’s lap, give me that always. It’s ultimately a fic that’s a bittersweet experience, but an incredibly lovely one. The final chapter gave me everything I could have asked for from it, the gamut of emotions that I come to this fandom and these characters for, in a way that was pleasing and satisfying both. The epilogue brought genuine tears to my eyes, it was a story that earned its ending, I felt, and was an incredibly experience of a story. If you’re not up for darker fic, then this one might not be for you, but if you don’t mind that going in, then this is a gorgeous one. ✦ Tenebroso by the_dragongirl, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, sith!obi wan, 1.4k In the aftermath of battle, Anakin gets a little bit selfish with one of his lovers. Obi-Wan really doesn’t mind. This was a joyful fic to read, because honestly Anakin being all revved up from battle and saying, “I’m gonna ride you into the ground” + eagerly filling himself up with Obi-Wan, who clearly enjoys watching Anakin ride him and what Anakin needs to send himself over the edge is Obi-Wan’s guidance and encouragement, that soft touch of affection and care, that it’s so good to feel Obi-Wan in him but it’s just not quite enough, not until Obi-Wan reaches out to him. I love that moment, because it says so much about Anakin to me, that he can be so wound up and wild, but what he really wants is that soft touch to turn towards, in addition to the very lovely imagery of the piece, this is just how I like my Anakin riding Obi-Wan’s dick fanfic to go, god bless. ✦ Finding Balance by moonstone (amythestice), obi-wan/anakin & luke & leia & han & yoda & qui-gon & cast, sith!obi-wan, 27k wip The Dark side clouds everything, even to eyes that should see through the murk with ease. Darth Sidious has miscalculated, drastically, and the waiting game for his enemies is now at an end, and Balance is at hand. I have a weakness for Sith!Obi-Wan, even as difficult as it is to get me to actually believe it. While this fic needs a bit of a scrub with the beta brush, I really, really liked the heart of what was here, the different aspects that the fic wove together–that this is Obi-Wan/Anakin and redefining what “balance” means when it comes to the Force. I think it works for me because the Force is different from Lucas’ vision of it (but with Lucas gone, who knows where things will go, it’s hard to pin these things down), that the Dark Side isn’t evil, but instead the mirror image of the Light Side. It uses emotions, especially anger, but it’s just as necessary as the Light Side is, which makes me able to see Obi-Wan as someone who would side with the Dark, especially given that he has a lot of intense feelings about Anakin. But I admit it also hits my id in that it’s got action scenes and a whole lot of long-term plotting from Obi-Wan and Anakin, that it’s about them defeating the current Empire and about Anakin’s utter and complete loyalty to Obi-Wan as his Master, that it gives him focus and emotional rewards to keep him from actually becoming Vader. I read the whole fic in about one or two sittings and found myself engrossed in the story, I wanted to know what was going to happen next, I was enjoying the tropes the fic used (loyalty kink + competency kink = so good for me) and while it’s a wip and updates are slow, there’s plenty of the good stuff along the way. ✦ Soldier, Poet, King by Glare, obi-wan/anakin & qui-gon & mace & dooku & palpatine & cast, sith!obi-wan, NSFW, 95.4k wip Second chances are very rarely given, but the Force smiles upon two of its favorite children and returns them to a time before their actions have met their consequences. Anakin Skywalker, also known as Darth Vader, seeks redemption while Obi-Wan “Ben” Kenobi, disillusioned with the Jedi Order and its Code, falls to the Darkness. I’ve done several recs for this fic, which are collated on this post, but I’m sticking with an earlier rec that won’t give too much away, but still hopefully tells you why you should read one of my favorite fics: I cannot tell you how in love with this fic I am, how much I love what it’s doing on both a plot level and an id-pleasing level. The fic first got me with these little moments of Ben (older Sith!Obi-Wan) and the way he would crowd into Anakin’s space, the way he would touch Anakin, the way he would run a hand down Anakin’s back or shove him up against the wall when he was getting out of control, there was this quiet but powerful intimacy between them, both dangerous and something very genuine there. It’s so incredibly good, the way Anakin curls up against Ben’s side or wriggles onto his lap, the way he so very much wants affection from his once-again-Master, the way Ben knows this after all they’ve been through together and the lives they’ve lived and this second chance, the way he absolutely is manipulative and much more iron-handed than he was before, but some part of Anakin feeds on that. It’s so well written and there’s such charm and sparkle to the writing, it’s that sweet spot between just exactly what my id wants and the more rational part of me that is impressed with the world-building and plotting and character motivations, that I legitimately respect the fic. It’s such a great example of what Obi-Wan would be like if freed from the restraints he puts on himself as a Jedi–he has power, sure, but it’s also such intelligence and insight, such lethality and being predatory in all the right moments, the way you really, really understand how Obi-Wan is dangerous when he puts all of his skills to less noble purposes. And the plot is good, it’s a great cast of different versions of the characters, the older versions having been dumped back in time and are running around to fix things in their own way, including a time out to go free the slaves on Tatooine and, of course, have more run-ins with the Jedi. I love that there are light saber battles, I love that they’re not just idling around, they’re doing stuff, moving the pieces around from the shadows, in addition to their complicated relationship developing further. I am H O O K E D on this fic and it’s honestly one of the most satisfying I’ve read in the fandom yet, it’s one of those that I pretty much drop everything else to go read when there’s a new chapter, it’s one that I’m torn between tripping over myself to read everything as fast as I can because I want more and forcing myself to go slower becaus I want to savor it, it’s one of those that I never want to end, but also I want all of it to be able to read everything right now. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read from this author but, oh, this one is special. ✦ I, Myself, In You, Together by calicokat + Compromised by cupiscent, obi-wan/anakin + anakin/padme + obi-wan/anakin/padme, sith!obi-wan, 4.3k Anakin returns from hunting Obi-Wan, and tears Padme’s universe apart. There are two other fics in this series, but I think these are the two that should most be read together, they’re the closest in timeline to each other, and one plays soon off the other. And, oh, I’m a sucker for Sith!Obi-Wan who is so mannered and polite and yet utterly dangerous, he knows how to cut to the quick of people, to both of these people (but, oh, especially Anakin, who wants to be angry and riled up, but this is Obi-Wan and instead he’s paralyzed and just wants to give anything up to get back to where they were) and while it’s not a fully fleshed out universe, it’s snippets in a much larger storyline, what’s here is so fascinating and good. I love that all three of these characters have such presence, that I found each of them fascinating, and I love how much it really hurt to see Obi-Wan breaking Anakin apart, doing so very deliberately to put Anakin where he wants him, then the lovely look at Padme’s character as she thinks over the offer before her and what she sees and knows about her husband and the way his Master affects him, how she is actually a politican here in a way that’s fascinating to watch. I really, really enjoyed these two pieces a lot! ✦ Bread and Circuses by cupiscent, obi-wan/anakin/padme, sith!obi-wan, 2.8k The shape of Padme’s life. This is set in the same universe as the above fics, but way far into the future, so you can probably read it as a standalone if you want or you can read them together. I enjoyed pretty much every single aspect of this fic, to the point where it might be my favorite of the entire series, because I do enjoy the look at Padme’s character and how she deals with people as Chancellor, I enjoyed the sparkling moments she has with Anakin, and then the two of them with Obi-Wan as well. But, oh, it was the ending that got me, the sheer promise and potential of it, that it caught my imagination and wouldn’t let it go! I love the three of them together, the way this universe has them rising to the top and there’s this sense of something larger than life about them, yet it doesn’t keep them from feeling entirely human together in hovercar on their way to a night out, the way they look at each other, tease each other, love each other. So many fantastic little details woven into the story that I’m just completely enamored with everything about it! ✦ Gravitation by calicokat, obi-wan/anakin + obi-wan/padme + obi-wan/anakin/padme, NSFW, sith!obi-wan, 3.4k Obi-Wan enjoys a respite from his service to Dooku. It’s a toss-up between this one and the previous one for what my favorite fic in this series is, because this one has exactly what I’m looking for with Sith!Obi-Wan stories–where he knows exactly how to strike at people to pull them apart and put them where he wants them. While the beginning has Obi-Wan/Padme and it is an important part of the greater dynamic, while she is necessary and part of the stability of these three, it really is even more about the effect it has on Anakin. This is somewhere in the middle of the greater storyline, where Obi-Wan still works for Dooku, there are only vague plottings for now, but groundwork is being laid, he is very firmly their Master now, and I love love love the dynamic here. That Obi-Wan deliberately winds Anakin up, then cuts him apart–by assigning him homework with a dangerous threat looming over him, by getting Anakin’s jealousy going so that Obi-Wan can deliberately point out how he’s behaving and then shove Anakin down onto the bed to fuck him and wind him back down. And, oh, I do love the scenes of the three of them together, the bits of the bigger story that wind their way in, the politics and philosophy and discussion, but. Obi-Wan pinning Anakin onto the bed, already having fucked Padme just a little while ago, but still ready to go again with Anakin underneath him like this, the rough edge to the sex as he pushes into Anakin without much preparation, enjoying him and making a point at the same time, oh, that is what I am here with Sith!Obi-Wan. Who clearly does love these two, Anakin especially, but with this sharp edge that almost hurts to read, even as it makes that love no less true. ✦ Darkside Echoes Part 1 + Part 2 by esama, obi-wan & anakin & qui-gon, sith!obi-wan, sith!anakin, 3k Qui-Gon stares, astonished and dismayed, at the scene taking place beyond the glass. Two Sith, imprisoned at the heart of the Jedi Temple – both of them painfully familiar and yet so very strange. This is a set of ficlets that are snippets of what may one day be part of a larger storyline, but are interesting just as little bits of other worlds. And I’m always here for Sith!Obi-Wan, I love seeing the different ways and interpretations of that, and this one is so well written, so… dark and dangerous and mean, but there still feels like there’s internal logic working there, it still feels like there are rules there. I would have loved it just for seeing Obi-Wan’s control and precision and brilliance turned to the Dark Side, but then the fic got me with the little details of Anakin, who is wound so tightly, who seems ready to explode at any moment, the only thing keeping him together is Obi-Wan’s control over him, almost casually shoving him back down with a strong Force hold or the touch to Anakin’s hair when Anakin is on his knees, almost gentle but not quite. The strength of the writing is one of those that gets my imagination going, it’s satisfying for what it is, but also hooks me in and makes me wonder, in the way that really good, well-written, intiguing fic does. ✦ Custos by jedipati, obi-wan & anakin + background anakin/padme & luke & leia, 5.5k The Revenge of the Sith went very differently. Now, six years later, Obi-Wan Kenobi guards the Imperial Prince and Princess from hiding, hoping that he will never have to reveal himself. Because if he did- well, he tried never to think about it. You have no idea how hard I’m here for this set up! Where RotS went differently and Obi-Wan went into hiding but kept watch over Vader and his children and Padme anyway, how it’s just the right amount of fucked up to go with the something still good in all of them. The awkwardness of seeing each other again with the perfect reveal, the perfect amount of how, yes, something clicks back into place again and is right. It’s one of those fics that hit my id just right and so I enjoyed the hell out of it. ✦ Second Chances by Driverpicksthemooseic (Ratkinzluver33), obi-wan/anakin & han/luke & leia + cast, de-aged fic, 106.3k wip Leia wasn’t convinced inviting evil incarnate to join them in fighting the Empire was exactly one of Obi-Wan’s brightest ideas. This is a delightful cracky fic where, mid-ANH, the Force decides to de-age Obi-Wan and Anakin by about twenty years and then Anakin decides to defect to the Alliance and be a scary over-protective helicopter parent when he finds out Luke and Leia are his kids and also oh yeah falls totally in love with Obi-Wan. And then more characters from The Clone Wars and Rebels are pulled in, the plot goes off in its own direction, and it’s this fun, easy to read fic that I just sailed through! It’s very long, but it’s focused on a fairly large cast of characters (though not so large that you can’t keep track, especially since they’re all characters you’re invested in already) that’s about the greater web of connections between the SW characters. I picked it up for the Obi-Wan/Anakin ship, which is actually a relatively small part of the overall story, it’s really more a group fic about how Vader defecting to the Alliance changes a lot of things, and it’s about Anakin angsting a whole lot about trying to balance himself and his emotions and not always doing a stellar job of it, it’s about the people he’s hurt along the way and how some are able to be won over, but others take a much longer time. I read practically the whole thing in a single day, that’s how easy it was to sail through, and it’s one of those delightfully tropey fics where I’m just so here for de-aging fic (why is there not more in fandom?? I want it!!) and it was nice to have a longfic to sink my teeth into again! It’s one of those stories that really hits a person’s id if you’re into this kind of thing and I am definitely in fandom to read about helicopter parent Anakin Skywalker who’s practically the same physical age as his kids. :D :D :D ✦ Everything You Wanted by obaona, obi-wan & anakin + background anakin/padme, 11.3k A RotS AU. Anakin is now Emperor and has captured ObiWan. But things are never that simple … This was a lovely and painful AU that was a straight shot to my heart, where Obi-Wan is captured by Vader and imprisoned, but Anakin cannot stay away, no matter how much he tries to hate Obi-Wan, there’s part of him that’s still desperate for Obi-Wan’s approval and help to understand what’s going on with him. The way he has all this physical power and is genuinely terrifying because he has no control, of himself or of anything, not really, is spot on, just as Obi-Wan cannot be crushed by him, even when cut off from the Force or physically weakened. The careful balance between anger/hate and love–for both Obi-Wan and Anakin–after everything that’s happened, that those things are so very terrible and yet it cannot erase that there is still such intense love underneath that, as well as the final confrontation, it just got at my feelings, so I read this entire thing with my fannish heart in my throat it felt like. It’s painful, but so very worth it in exactly the way it was meant to be. ✦ Back Drifting by puts foot in mouth, obi-wan & anakin, de-aged!obi-wan, 20.4k wip After falling on Mustafar, Obi-Wan awakens to the dubious reality of being trapped in the cloned body of his child self, and now has to cope with the reversed father/son relationship fostered upon him by the new Sith Lord.Darth Vader redemption story. Holy shit, this fic did a number on me like you wouldn’t believe. I’ll warn ahead of time that it’s a WIP and hasn’t been updated in years, it probably never will be, but I still think it’s worth reading, if you go in knowing that ahead of time, just… good lord what I wouldn’t do for another 100k of this to work out all their issues. I never realized that I needed a de-aged Obi-Wan (well, adult Obi-Wan’s consciousness put into a cloned body, so he also has to deal with a six year old’s lingering impulses) with Vader being just so unstable but desperately needing Obi-Wan in his life, the way he’s dangerous and prone to violence and you never know how he’s going to react, to Obi-Wan being in a body that can’t fight back, to deal with Vader thinking they can be a family, that he can be the father this time, that he’ll show Obi-Wan what they could have been. The fic does a marvelous job of balancing that this is wrong wrong wrong and Anakin has no idea what he’s doing, with how there’s still something of the Light in him. It does a marvelous job of keeping Obi-Wan’s resolution and strong personality, that he’s heartbroken and angry, that this is not at all right, yet part of me really wanted it to work out eventually. I admit, it’s a little too much tell-rather-than-show in the beginning, but once Vader grabs hold of Obi-Wan to fly them off Kamino, the fic settles into gear and it absolutely captured my imagination, for the way he would settle Obi-Wan on his lap or smack the back of his head when he was talking back or picking him up to cart him off. I loved it because it said so much about Anakin, how he was trying so hard to be the one in power here, to be the father, but it never quite worked the way he wanted it, that he was the one still desperate for Obi-Wan’s affection. I am always, always here for that, it’s just a bonus when it comes with wee kidlet!Obi-Wan cuteness. ✦ Cruel by Bablefishmouse, obi-wan/anakin/padme & luke, sith!obi-wan, 1.2k Luke grew up in the Great Empire run by his three parents, Sith Lord Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala. But now he’s nearly an adult, and he wants to learn. This was a short but really fun fic with the whole Soft Sith dynamic/trope that I love so much, where Luke is almost eighteen now and wants to begin training, so he approaches his three parents about it. It’s about a moment in their lives, it’s about seeing the way these three interact with each other in this universe that went differently, and it was a fic that I just found myself enjoying this glimpse of a different universe. ✦ space dementia by wellwhiskey, eventual obi-wan/anakin/padme & dooku, sith!obi-wan, 30.7k wip AU - Darth Maul survives the Battle of Theed. Obi-Wan succeeds in his quest for vengeance but fails to escape The Dark Side. Anakin goes along for the ride. There are some fics that really hurt as a WIP, but are still worth reading and this is absolutely one of them. I think, though, that it hurts more because the author mentioned in the AN that they have about 80k written in rough draft and I want it, especially when only ~30k of it has been posted. And, holy shit, I tore through this fic like you wouldn’t believe because it just caught me up in the whirlwind of it and the writing is so smoothing and engaging that it felt like nothing to just keep reading and reading, because it was so good. It caught me immediately because it had some great banter of Obi-Wan and Anakin as adults and as Sith, that they snarked at each other, but were still deeply intwined with each other and I love that. But then! Padme POV! Who is lovely and intriguing! And then backstory! To show how Obi-Wan and Anakin got to where they are! And it’s still the early stages yet, but I found that I could really follow along with this Obi-Wan’s slow descent into the Dark Side, that it was well-written enough and slow enough and put pressure in just the right places and it wasn’t about caving or giving it, but instead about turning, about walking towards something, and so… I’ve been wary of trying to read fic that shows Obi-Wan’s fall to the Dark Side, because it’s a really hard sell for me, especially for someone so strong-willed, but this one has me still onboard and eager to read more. Especially because Obi-Wan and moppet Anakin are a joy, even when Obi-Wan is tired and depressed and Anakin is just bursting at the seams, they’re already coming to twine together, Anakin just latches on and Obi-Wan doesn’t really entirely mind, which I am just so here for. I love this version of Anakin, I am fascinated by this version of Obi-Wan and the path he’s walking, and Dooku has been playing an interesting role in the later chapters, and it’s just REALLY GOOD, both for eventual Sith!Obi-Wan and for Obi-Wan&Anakin interaction and just a straight up well-told story!

#and yeah Palpatine would be his old self#lrobably big in American politics#very evil#tries to convince anakin that he doesn’t need obiwan because he’s so powerful#and only another person with that same power can help him and understand him#and it almost works (via @tennessoui)
(prev anon about anakin being a zeus kid) yeah that makes a lot of sense! anakin being unable to do what he enjoys hurts so much but is also so real for him. love palps being zeus’ kid lmao would he be aged down or still old, like another member of camp staff?
it is very angsty (anakin being in a plane phase but his mom has instilled upon him the importance of never flying ever because Zeus would absolutely strike down that plane because of who anakin’s dad is)
But I also think it would be a little funny like. 25 year old bitch Obi-Wan rescues this kid from a Minotaur or something and gets pulled into a cross country trip to try and get him somewhere he can be safe and one day anakin’s prattling on about planes and obi-wan is like that’s a great idea why don’t we fly to New York!
and anakin is like. No mom says I can’t fly or else the plane will be struck by lightning and crash and I’ll die
and obi-wan is like. what.
