Word Count: 3.5k
Author's Note: Happy Coday!!! I couldn't let the momentous once in a lifetime Cody Day pass by without offering something from my imagination to the archives, so I made this. It's short, sweet, and hilarious. Also, yay! Cody gets his first full-length feature fic! As always, please enjoy 💚
Tumblr media
Cody leans over, cups your cheek, and presses his lips against yours. The holo-film playing in the background quickly forgotten about in exchange for something much more sweet. You lean into him, and a small moan escapes your throat when he sucks on your bottom lip. His hands roam the sides of your body as he lays you back against the couch cushions. Your world is devoid of anything and everything that isn't Cody as his weight settles between your legs and–
BEEP BEEP
You groan into Cody's mouth as your alarm blares on the center table to alert you that it's time to get ready for work. With one hand wrapped around the back of Cody's head you keep his lips pressed against yours, and with the other you turn off your alarm. You curse your stupid alarm and you curse your stupid third shift at the medcenter. It always interrupts you right when you're getting to the good part. You just want a couple more minutes, but Cody knows better than to keep you.
Cody breaks the kiss, pushes himself off of you, and plops down onto the opposite end of the couch. "That thing's worse than my vod," Cody sighs.
You sit up and stretch your arms. "At least my alarm can't watch," you muse.
"That's it's only good quality," Cody chuckles. He leans his head against the side of the couch and smiles.
"What?" you ask when you catch him looking.
"Nothing," he says. "Just admiring from afar."
You raise an eyebrow. "Well, can you do that a little farther away? Like outside my apartment farther away?"
"You're kicking me out?" he gasps in fake horror. "How could you?"
You pity him for a moment and crawl across the couch cushions to sit on his lap, wrapping your arms around his neck, and placing a sweet kiss just below his ear. "I only do it because I know you'll come back."
Cody smooths his hands over your back as he nuzzles your neck with the side of his cheek. "Always, cyare."
BEEP BEEP
"Aaargh!" you exclaim angrily as your second alarm goes off.
Cody laughs. "Better do as it says."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," you sigh as you get off of him and make your way towards the kitchen.
Cody gets up from the couch, stretches his arms over his head, and starts putting his armor plates back on.
"Hey Codes?" you yell from the kitchen while staring at your calendar.
He fastens his chest plate and yells back. "Yeah?"
You peak your head around the kitchen corner so you don't have to yell again. "What do you want to do for the Festival of Love next week?"
Cody stiffens, then turns around to look at you. "The what?"
"The Festival of Love," you repeat. "It's on a Taungsday this cycle, which is my rotation off, so I thought maybe we could do something special."
"Uh, sure," Cody says with mild panic, then busies himself with putting on his vambraces. "Whatever you want."
"Cody," you huff and cross your arms. "It's about us, not just me."
"Of course," Cody corrects as he rubs the back of his neck. "I just meant that whatever you want to do on your rotation off is perfectly fine with me. I want to work within your schedule."
"Sure you do…" you say as you narrow your eyes at him with suspicion. You sigh. "Just let me know, okay?"
"Will do," he says with a lazy salute.
You roll your eyes and go back to what you were doing in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Cody puts his leg braces on the wrong legs as his mind tries to figure out what the Festival of Love is. He's never heard of it, and he's not sure what he's so supposed to do with this information now that he has it. He's also not sure why you want to celebrate it or why you are adamant that you should celebrate it together. It's not uncommon for clones to miss out on galactic holidays or celebrations, but if it means that much to you, he'll figure it out somehow.
Once his armor is situated on the correct body parts, he makes his way to the kitchen to bid you farewell. The late night rendezvous due to your work schedule are exhausting, but he doesn't mind. As long as he's planet side, he'll mess up his sleep schedule to be able to spend quality time with you. It's almost been an entire cycle since the day he first laid eyes on you, and since then he's fallen deeply in love. Besides his brothers, there's no one he loves more than you.
"I'm off," he says as he enters the kitchen.
You also enter the kitchen, now changed into your work clothes, and grab your cooler off the top of the conservator so you can pack your mid-shift meal. "I'll see you tomorrow?" you throw over your shoulder while grabbing food items.
Cody looks down at his chronometer and smirks. "It'll be tomorrow very soon."
You chuckle. "You know what I mean."
Cody walks up behind you and wraps his arms around your stomach. "I'll see you tomorrow."
You crane your neck around to give him a goodbye kiss and he meets you halfway. "Be safe," you say.
"Always," Cody says. He releases you from his grip, gives you one more kiss on the top of your head for good measure, and heads towards the door.
His mind runs wild with thoughts about this Festival of Love you mentioned and he knows it will continue to bug him until he finds out what it is and why you want to celebrate it. Once outside the apartment, he takes a couple steps down the walkway and thinks about the best strategy to use. His thoughts immediately fall to Rex. Him and Rex have known each other since the day they were decanted. If anyone can help him figure out his predicament, he knows it'll be Rex.
Cody stops walking and leans against the wall of the building he stops in front of. The night air is a little chilly, but that doesn't bother him, not when he's got so much on his mind. He pulls out his comm to type a quick message to Rex.
Are you awake?
Cody taps his foot on the ground as he waits for Rex to respond. His comm blinks.
I am now
Cody sighs in relief and types another message.
Meet me at the diner
Cody stares at his comm, waiting for Rex's reply.
Right now? It's 23:30!
Cody rolls his eyes and types another message.
It's important
Cody pushes himself off the wall and heads down the street towards the diner. He knows Rex won't leave him hanging. His comm blinks.
Be there in ten
Cody smiles and puts the comm in his pocket. He knew Rex wouldn't let him down. Of course this is important. This is his cyare they're talking about. Aside from his duty to the GAR as a soldier, you are his most important mission. He needs to understand this Festival of Love thing so he can address it properly and make an effective plan of attack to ensure it's a special day for you, and apparently, for him too. He's not sure how he fits into it, but he's sure Rex will know.
It's only a short walk to the diner and Cody arrives before Rex does. He grabs their usual booth, the one all the way at the end in the corner by the window, orders two mugs of hot caf, and lets the waitress know that he's waiting for someone. Cody rests his chin in the palm of his hand and stares blankly out the large transparisteel window. It's dark out, so there's not much to see, but he's also not looking to see anything either. He's thinking, and sometimes staring helps him think.
"Someone better be dying," Rex groans as he slides into the booth across from Cody.
Cody removes his gaze from the window to acknowledge Rex and smirks. Rex looks like he just rolled out of bed. Half-lidded eyes, an annoyed scowl plastered on his face, a pair of blacks on the bottom, an undershirt, and a half-zipped jacket on top. Cody doesn't blame him for looking so disheveled at this time of night, especially since he woke him up and dragged him out here to meet him, but if he can't depend on his closest batch brother, then who can he depend on?
"I ordered you some caf," Cody says.
"Great," Rex yawns. "Looks like I won't be getting any sleep tonight."
"Sorry," Cody says, but he's not really sorry.
The waitress arrives with the two mugs of caf and she sets them down in front of the two men. She places some sugar packets and cream cartons on the table, then leaves them to it.
Rex tears several packets of sugar and dumps them in his caf, stirring lazily to dissolve it.
"That's gross," Cody chuckles. He brings his mug of black caf up to his lips and takes a tentative sip. "This stuff is much better than what the GAR gives us."
Rex grumbles and takes a sip of his caf. "What was so urgent that I had to leave my warm bed to come meet you in this cold diner?"
"I need to know what the Festival of Love is," Cody says.
Rex spits out his caf and coughs. He grabs a few napkins from the dispenser and wipes his chin, then the mess he made on the table. "Vod, you better be joking."
Cody leans across the table. "I'm serious. You need to tell me."
"That's what couldn't wait until morning?" Rex exclaims.
"I only have a couple of rotations to figure it out," Cody explains. "You know how important it is to have enough time to plan strategic maneuvers."
"Cody," Rex sighs and rubs his face. "It's a holiday, not a frontal assault!"
"Same difference," Cody says with a dismissive wave. "This is my cyare. She wants to do something special for it and I have no idea what to do. I don't even know what it is!"
"Maker, you're worse than my battalion," Rex sighs. "Fine, if I tell you what it is, can I go back to bed?"
"Yes," Cody agrees.
"The Festival of Love is a holiday for couples," Rex explains. "It's a special day where you and your cyare celebrate your relationship, give each other gifts, and appreciate them."
"That's it?" Cody asks.
"Yeah, that's it," Rex retorts and narrows his eyes. "What did you think a Festival of Love was going to be about?"
Cody shrugs.
"Well, my job here is done," Rex says. He downs the rest of his caf and shimmies his way out of the booth.
"Wait," Cody says as he grabs Rex's wrist. "We're not done yet."
Rex sighs and shimmies back into the booth. "What else?"
"How do you celebrate it?" Cody asks.
"How should I know?" Rex retorts. "Does it look like I have a cyare? Because if I did, I wouldn't be here with you, I'd be with her, in my bed, naked, with my–"
"Okay, I get the picture," Cody interrupts. "Come on, vod, give me something to work with."
Rex sighs. "I'll comm Echo. He's into those types of novels. I'm sure he knows."
Cody raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean by those types of novels?"
"You know…" Rex ducks his head and leans over the table to whisper. "Those erotic romance novels where the main characters have lots of crazy sex."
"Oh," Cody whispers, drawing the syllable out. "Those types of novels. You've got some… interesting vod."
Rex shrugs. "At least he's quiet about it. You should see what Fives and Jesse get up to in their spare time. That stuff will make you turn red faster than–"
"I'm good," Cody interrupts. "Anything from Echo?"
"Give him a minute," Rex says. "He should be asleep, like me."
Rex's comm blinks and he looks down at it to read what Echo wrote.
"Beside the long list of expletives…" Rex begins. "He says you can get them anything pink or red that's heart shaped, as well as chocolates, flowers, cards, poetry, jewelry, perfume, stuffed animals, and bedroom stuff. Also, he says that a fancy dinner is always nice too."
"That's a lot of things," Cody says thoughtfully.
"You probably don't need to do everything," Rex adds. "Maybe just dinner, flowers, and something personal."
"Maybe…" Cody trails off in thought.
He has a better idea about what the holiday is, and what he should be doing, but he still needs to plan everything. Reservations this late into the game are going to be difficult, so he might need to pull some connections, or at worst use a bribe. Regardless, the flowers and chocolate should be simple. The jewelry on the other hand might be complicated, and so would the poetry. He's not even sure if he's read any poetry before, let alone know how to write any for his cyare.
"Well," Rex begins when he starts to doze off at the growing silence, "as much fun as this has been, I want to go back to bed."
"Oh, yeah," Cody says as he snaps back to the present. "Thanks. I appreciate the help."
Rex shimmies out of the booth and throws an annoyed look over his shoulder. "If you were anyone else, I would've shot you."
Cody smiles and takes another sip of his caf. "Love you too, vod."
After Cody finishes his caf, he heads back to the barracks, but instead of sleeping, he pulls out his data-pad and starts researching. He received a lot of great leads from Rex's trooper, Echo, and now he needs to put all of his thoughts together to execute the perfect Festival of Love presentation for you. He searches for the right shops, reads through numerous product reviews, browses romantic poetry, and searches for the fanciest restaurants to make a reservation at.
As the days roll by, Cody puts his plan into action. The dinner reservation comes first, and he was correct in his assumption that he needed to pull some strings and call in a few favors to get a good reservation with the holiday so close. It does help that he has a batchmate in the Coruscant Guard. Bribery can get him into trouble, so having Fox on his side is worthwhile. He makes a mental note to prepare for the Festival of Love at least six months in advance for the next cycle.
The list of gift ideas he has is decent, but he can't decide whether he wants to do a few of them or all of them. Considering this is his first Festival of Love, he errs on the side of caution and buys them all. The best initial battle strategies are the ones approached broadly with caution, then tailored down to suit the individual situation. This strategy is no different. He'll watch your reaction to each gift and gauge how well it's received, then adjust his gifting for the next cycle.
It's perfect. Everything is perfect. The gift basket is beautiful, with all of the gifts neatly nestled on top of shredded pink, red, and white paper, and a large velvet red bow tied neatly around the handle. Cody admires his handiwork, then looks at his chronometer. It's a few hours before your dinner reservation, and just about time for Cody to pick up the last of the gifts, the flowers. He visited multiple florists before finally picking one and ordering the flowers he wanted to give you.
Now, with his gift basket and flowers in tow, he heads over to your apartment. He's wearing his best clothes, his officer uniform, and made sure there wasn't a wrinkle on it. Tonight needs to be special for you, so he went overboard with the preparation. It was unfortunate when your work called you in to help with another shift, but you still got the night off, which didn't hinder Cody's plans at all. Although, it did give him plenty of time to overthink and double check everything.
Cody places the gift basket down on the front steps of the apartment, re-situates the flowers in his hands, picks up the box of chocolates, and rings the doorbell. He stands back and straightens himself up as he waits for you to answer, feeling like a scared little shiny going on his first date. He shouldn't feel this anxious. He made sure to plan for every contingency and even made a back-up plan for his back-up plan. All of his bases are covered, but he wants to puke.
You open the door, dressed in the fancy outfit you picked out for dinner. "Cody," you smile with surprise. "You're early."
Cody clears his throat. "Roses are red," he says and hands you the bouquet of red roses.
"Cody!" you exclaim. "These are so–"
"Violets are blue," he interrupts you and hands you another bouquet of flowers.
"Cody," you say. "These are–"
"Sugar is sweet," he interrupts you again and hands you the box of chocolates.
"Cody," you say. "I don't have enough hands."
"And so are you," he says, then grabs your full hand to kiss the back of it.
You grin from ear to ear at the adorable gesture, snort, then start laughing.
Cody's eyes grow wide thinking he did something wrong. "Do you not like the flowers? Or was it the poem?"
"No, no, of course, I love the flowers," you chuckle, trying not to laugh harder. "But Cody. These aren't violets, they're carnations, and they're orange, not blue."
"Oh, yeah," he says sheepishly. "I couldn't find any violets so I got you ones that matched my battalion colors instead."
"You are the sweetest man alive!" you exclaim as you wrap your arms around his neck and kiss his cheek.
Cody smiles and hugs you back. "I've got more for you," he says, then reaches down to grab the gift basket.
Your jaw drops and you look between Cody and the basket. "This is all… for me?"
Cody nods. "I wanted today to be special so I got you everything I could think of."
"I can see that," you exclaim. "Why don't you come inside and I'll open it?"
Cody agrees and enters your apartment. He's been over to your place numerous times, but for some reason he feels like a stranger today. You walk off towards the kitchen to take care of the two bouquets of flowers and put them in some water, leaving Cody at the entrance. He takes a few cautious steps into the living room and places the gift basket on the caf table. Not knowing what else to do with himself, Cody sits on the couch and waits for you to return from the kitchen.
"You look beautiful," he says as you walk into the living room.
You smile. "Well, with those fancy dinner reservations you got us," you begin and then twirl to let him see the whole outfit. "I had to take it up a notch."
Cody bites his lip as his eyes roam from the top of your head all the way down to the bottom of your feet. "Gorgeous."
You sit down next to him on the couch and start looking through the gift basket. You pull out more boxes of chocolates, all in different shapes and flavors, a beautiful hand-written card, a bottle of your favorite perfume you were running out of, and a stunning silver set of earrings and a matching necklace. Your jaw drops and you put them on immediately so you can wear them to dinner tonight. Next you pull out an adorable stuffed tooka holding a heart, which makes you melt.
"What's this?" you ask as you reach the bottom of the basket and find a small bottle of strawberry flavored lube.
Cody rubs the back of his neck. "It was in the same section as everything else, so I thought maybe we could try it out."
"Cody," you laugh. "This stuff is awful."
"Really?" he asks, kicking himself now for buying it. "I didn't want to get anything too risky without talking to you first, so I thought that maybe something small like this would–"
"Did you taste it?" you interrupt to ask.
"They weren't exactly giving out samples," he jokes.
You snort, then hug Cody as tight as you can. "You are the sweetest man in the galaxy, you know that?"
"You're sweeter," he says and seals his words with a kiss.
You smile and take a nibble at his ear. "Why don't I grab the can of whipped cream from the conservator?" you whisper against his skin. "We can be naughty and have our dessert before dinner."
Cody smirks. "Yes ma'am."

The Many Lives Of Marshal Commander Cody After The War (No O66 AU)
Tumblr media
Freedom Fighter
After the treaty between the Separatists and the Republic is signed (vastly in favor of the Republic), many worlds are damaged, the economy in shambles and their defences a pile of rubbles.
Which is where profiters come in! Pirates praying on ships sent with relief goods, slavers praying on refugees, regular galactic corporations arranging for an "accident" for their marchandises so those desperate worlds will have to buy twice...
Too bad for them, Cody didn't made Marshal Commander because of his pretty face.
Part of the Amavika trail, he establishes an entire fleet with most of Ghost Compagny survivors and other clones (Wolffe and Fox included) that patrol the poorest parts of the galaxy. They are Protection and Transport for Hire (and very little pay, but much fight & fun & justice).
******
Other Cody's lives AU:

Cody Day WIP
I really wanted to have at least a chapter of this done for Cody Day @codyday2224 but life's been rough so instead have a sneak peak from the WIP of the fic that I'm writing. I'll add a link to the fic in this post when it's done.
Thank you to @catznetsov, @lyntergalactic, and @whatislifewithoutangst for coming up with this idea with me and noodling upon it.
The Care and Feeding of Your Marshal Commander
Batchmates
Cody is part of a command batch with Fox, Bly, Wolffe, and Ponds. Fox is Marshal Commander of the Coruscant Guard, Bly is Marshal Commander of the 327th Star Corps, Wolffe is Commander of the 104th, and Ponds is Commander of Lightning Squadron. You’ve probably come across at least one of them before. They are all equally terrifying and unhinged in their own special way. (Damn right – Wolffe) (Keep your teeth away from me – Bly)
Apart from the Corries (see the section on Fox below), whenever the 212th works with any of these units, make sure Cody gets time to spend with his respective batchmate. This should happen anyway as they’ll usually end up double bunking and sharing quarters but try to keep distractions to a minimum. Time spent grumbling over flimsiwork together is still better than being comm’d to come and deal with a prank that has gone disastrously wrong. Good luck trying to explain to your very grumpy Marshal Commander and his equally grumpy batchmate (who is also a Commander or Marshal Commander) why the bunks in Barracks 6C are on fire and why every visible surface in Barracks 8E is covered in a fine powdery glitter. You’ll be on sanitation duty for so long that you might as well live in the freshers and become one with the mouse droids.

Lionheart (2/4)
Chapter Summary:
“The Kaminoans were convinced that it was for bad behaviour.”
Skirata’s been standing there for ten minutes. The chips, all intact and looking just like the one Cody picked out of his own skull, mock him from where they sit on the slide.
“Independence,” Cody continues. “Anger issues, individualism. Whatever it is that wouldn’t fit the docile group of specimens they wanted from us. They’d lose out on the money if more than a bunch of us deviated. Hence, the hidden organic inhibitor chips infused into our brains.”

21:14, Negotiator II, 21 BBY
“Now, it’s easy,” Waxer says, back on the wall, legs stretched leisurely in front of him, his feet hooked at the ankles. He has a packet of those sour candies in hand, and lets out a sucking noise when he rearranges the pallet to the other side of his mouth. “You beat up the Commander, you win, you get his paint. Even if you didn’t win, you’d still get his paint.”
Wooley looks as if Waxer just told him to kick a puppy, wide eyes snapping to Cody before quickly looking back at his soon-to-be lieutenant, horrified. “I don’t think I wanna beat up the Commander.”
Cody watches Waxer smile widely, wickedly. Boil, who stands beside him, shoots him a look of warning. “Don’t worry, you won’t hurt him. He’s made of bricks under all that, so he won’t feel a thing. Aren’t you, Commander?”
“You won’t hurt me,” Cody tells Wooley reassuringly.
Waxer gestures at him. “There you go, bud. Straight out of the eopie’s mouth. So, just gear in and start punching the man.”
It’s Ghost Squad’s turn to use the training room, and it doesn’t stop the rest of them from being pulled into its direction when they hear that one of the not-so-Shinies is trying to earn the Commander’s paint. Excited murmurs linger at the edges of the room, those who aren’t on duty have already stripped off their armour into halves, with every bench and crate now bearing the weight of troopers as they clamber for a seat.
Perhaps having an audience is daunting; they’re about to be witnessed after all, to put on a show for the men around them, and the Two-Twelfth are more than happy to watch just who their Commander will give his full attention to in the first place.

Cody Day 2024
So APPARENTLY it's Cody day and I just missed that, but if you think I'm going to skip out on an opportunity to write about one of my favorite little clone guys, you'd be SORELY mistaken.
I'd love to draw him too but there's like 6 hours left in the day and I have other things to do, like eat and shower and homework.
ANYWAY, those of you who know me know that I'm the OC lady and for that reason, I'm going to write a little drabbly thing about Cody and my OC, who is like an adoptive mom to him and many other clones (see this post if you want to learn more about her). If you aren't interested in ocs, feel free to skip, the drabbly thing will be under the cut. Oh and also, the clones call her "mum" because Temuera is from New Zealand and that's how they refer to their moms (or, that's at least how my old friend referred to her New Zealander mom). Also, no idea if it's ooc, it's been a while since I watched anything with Cody in it.
Anyway, happy Cody day to all, now enjoy the first bit of Star Wars content I've written in months. Btw @langsnscraps since you've been asking for SW content for a while.
It's late in the night cycle. So late that The Negotiator is practically silent. His general and most of his brothers are blissfully asleep in their barracks, but Cody can't bring himself to do the same. He can't sleep yet. There's a cup of caf nearby, though he can't remember when he got it or if he finished its contents. Doesn't matter. He's too focused on the work in front of him, ignoring the insistent tug from his eyelids. When he hears something behind him—the door opening followed by footsteps, he quickly realizes—his hand jumps to his blaster and he whips around, ready to draw it if he needs to. But as quickly as his fight reaction was triggered, it's soothed. Onteile Tiax is standing a few feet away, a calm expression on her face even as she holds up her hands. He exhales, hand falling back to his side.
"Sorry, mum," he mutters. She lowers her hands as well, folding them in front of her as she tilts her head.
"It's alright, Cody. I should know better than to creep up behind you," she says. He frowns slightly at her.
"I could've hurt you." The calm expression shifts to one of soft amusement, and she raises her eyebrow slightly. Alright, that's probably not true. He sighs and turns away from her, looking back at the holotable in front of him. He can hear her moving again, and she eventually appears at his side.
"Can you not sleep, Cody?" she asks, voice gentle and concerned. He shakes his head and looks down at his data pad.
"I just have a few things I need to do," he mutters. Her gaze weighs on him, but he resolutely keeps his eyes on the information in front of him.
"I worry for you," she says suddenly. He lifts his head to look at her, met with a look of apprehension. She lifts a hand, gently cupping his face. "You put far too much on yourself. I just want to make sure you're alright." He leans into the affectionate touch, just a bit, and offers what he hopes is a comforting smile.
"I'm fine, mum," he says. Bright eyes inspect him carefully, and he feels her stroke her thumb across his cheek for a moment before her hand falls away again.
"Would you like some help?" He considers denying her offer, telling her that she should go back to bed, but he admits that company sounds nice. So, he nods, and she smiles softly before picking up a data pad of her own.

When the work is done—or, at least acceptably lessened—she finally convinces him to go to bed. He walks at her side through the empty halls, The Negotiator humming around them. He takes a moment to look at her as they walk. She's not much taller than Cody himself, but the way that she carries herself makes her seem towering and important. She doesn't hold any official military rank, but she looks like she holds a great deal of authority. People respect her most everywhere she goes. Walking at her side always makes him try to stand just a bit straighter, hold himself with more confidence. A small, unspoken of part of him wants to make her proud. They stop outside of her room—because Cody is a gentleman and promised to walk her to her door—and she turns toward him.
"Promise me you'll rest, Cody," she says. He smiles slightly at her.
"I'll do my best, mum." She smiles back at him.
"That's all I ask." She reaches out, and he allows her to tilt his head down slightly so that she can press a warm kiss to his forehead. "I'll see you in a few hours, Cody." When she releases him, he looks her in the eye again, nodding.
"Sleep well, mum." She nods as well, and he steps around her to walk to his own room.
"I love you, Cody." He pauses, looking back at her. "I just wanted to remind you." His chest is filled with warmth at the affectionate look on her face, and he smiles at her again.
"I love you too, mum."
