does ‘the island’ also contain rats by any chance??? Will you talk about any wips you have that may feature rats? 🥺👉👈
You know all about rat island lol that's OUR baby
OK. For the uninitiated. Where to even begin lol.
So it all starts with a gremlins fueled haze. We'd watched the scooby doo movie earlier that day and au thoughts had been lit. Add codywan, my need for begrudging Anakin and cody buddy team ups, and the servers pet rat: it was a recipe for a fever dream. The gremlins music at 1am really just stoked the fire.
So the premise is: no order 66. It's post war, they're not quite at that happy ending yet. There's a feeling that they've all dodged a huge bullet. Cody is learning to live. Obi Wan has taken a sabbatical to figure things out post war. Anakin has been divorced, lost custody, and rejected the Jedi's help. He's a hot mess. He's trying to figure out who he is, in the most messy 'I'm 23 and didn't do any of this when I was 19' kind of way. He's partying. He's become a student. He's messing up in all the mundane ways that you can think of.
Then, he gets a mysterious invite to a all expenses paid resort. It's suspicious as hell, he pays that no notice. He's spiralling.
Now. The resort. Is rat themed. Don't think about that too hard. It's like Disney but it's rat themed and it's adults only so there's lots of rat bars ect and it's on an island. It's like the resort in the scoobydoo movie but it's more disneyfied and capitalist and also all of the rats are terrifying. Like. We have a storyboard of the worst rat costumes I could find (including our fav pet rat obviously) and that's the inspo we're working from here
Now if you're new to rat island you probably think that's the end. Oh no. That's just Chapter 1.
This is based on the scooby doo movie afterall. There's a sith conspiracy on the island. There's bodyswapping. AND. There's a dog.
i'm going to share 2 snippets of it. cause i love it too much to decide.
"Cody had always prided himself on his propensity for research. He was not one to walk in to a situation unprepared. As soon as they’d heard of Anakin’s trip, he’d done some digging.
Rat island was a combination of theme-park and party island, located on the beach planet: Muridae. The resort was, in its entirety, dedicated to a small mammalian creature native to the planet Eukaryota--which is not even in the same system.
Supposedly, the park was based around an ageing cartoon show that had only grown in popularity with civilians during the war, the war had brought many things, a wave of rat based nostalgia was maybe less expected than others.
Despite all his research, nothing could prepare him for the reality of it. As they leave the lander Cody finds himself in a corner of the galaxy he’s rarely had reason to imagine, let alone see. A place of over indulgence, excess and noise.
It isn’t one of the strangest places he’s found himself, Cody had seen weirder things during the war. Not many, but still, some. On one of the strangest planets. But this was maybe one of the least familiar. Kamino had never prepared him for this.
When they stepped out onto the landing platform, Obi Wan looked far too pleased. Cody only scowled.
He wished he’d listened when he was told to bring sunglasses but was utterly unwilling to admit it. Once, when he wore armour wherever he went he had a built in visor, he had tints! He squinted in the sun. Civilian life really was grim sometimes.
“Isn’t this nice.” Obi wan said, looking down at the nearby beach.
“We aren’t staying.” Cody told him shortly.
“Of course not dear, we are just here to collect Anakin.” Obi Wan agreed.
Cody gave him a suspicious side eye.
“Is the sun getting in your eyes, dear?” Obi Wan asked, tilting his head and looking at Cody through his own sunglasses, ridiculous bug eyed things.
“No. Not at all.” Cody lied.
Obi -Wan gave him a long look. Cody ignored it.
Eventually, Obi-Wan he spotted a map. “Ah look. Over here Cody. Look! There's a gift shop.”
“No.” Cody told him, flat, No gift shop.”
Obi Wan gave him a sad look.
“No.” Cody said again. He squinted at the map. “Where is the security office.”
Obi Wan sighed. “To the west.”
“Right lets go.”
Obi wan gave a pitiful sigh. Cody ignored that too.
Cody knew very well they’d be visiting one of the islands many gift shops before they left this forsaken place, there was no need for him to give in so early; Obi wan would only take advantage of such a weakness.
As they round the corner, a person dressed in a loose fitting grey costume, their whole head obscured by that of a rat, seems to pop-up out of nowhere, scaring the shit out of Cody.
“Have a Rat-tastic day!”
Cody will not be having a Rat-tastic day. He finds himself uncertain of what exactly a Rat-tastic day is, but he does know that he will most definitely not be having one."
Next, in this snippet, they finally visit the gift shop:
"Dear. Just pick a pair."
Cody continued to look at the sunglass stand in affront.
"I don't need any."
"Yes." Obi Wan gave him a stern look. "You do."
Cody gave the stand another spin, increasingly offended. "Does every pair have a rat?"
"Well…" Obi-Wan was looking towards the counter, where a sign declared that they where standing in an establishment of 'Rat-tastic Gifts'
Cody just scowled. "Why does the sun have to be so bright?" He made an irritated noise. "This place!" He huffed. "Couldn't Anakin have picked anywhere else?"
"Well, he was invited…"
"He had to accept! Who would accept an invite to Rat karking Island? Only Skywalker. Who would invite Skywalker to a Rat Island in the first place? The whole place seems like some demented way to torture people." He grumbled a few choice words under his breath.
"Dear…"
"Fine!" Cody picked out a pair with the least obstructive rat he could find, only a small metal rat shaped medallion on the end of each arm and a rat print that was, thankfully, reserved for the inside of the arms only.
As they made their way to the counter he caught Obi-Wan looking towards a display showing one of the worst rat costumes Cody had ever seen. It was made out of a kind of plush velveteen fabric that was quite frankly, monstrous. The thing was made of far too much material, giving it the appearance of wrinkly skin. And to add insult to the injury of having to see this thing (and see it he had, the staff in this place roamed the paths dressed in a collection of eclectic rodent outfits) the face was… The eyes. They boggled. The whiskers, were wonky. It was barely recognisable as a rat.
"NO." Cody managed, as he marched them to the counter.
"Feeling ratty?" The twilek at the counter greeted with a bright smile.
Cody swallowed a small amount of bile. "We are not." He grunted.
The shop assistant seemed slightly caught for words, his lack of enthusiasm halting her usual script. She looked to the sunglasses down on the counter. "Ah. Soon!" She threatened, with a smile.
When they left the shop, Obi Wan burst in to laughter.
"Soon!" Cody repeated. "I karking hope not. This place is like a cult."
Obi-Wan took one look at his face and burst in to renewed wheezes.
rat island is...ongoing. in the meantime, @felixeis003 has created an amazing piece of art of it here:

20 Questions for Writers
Thanks so much for the tag, @lyntergalactic! :D I feel like I've done this before, but it must have been a whole ago. It looks fun! (also, I'm pasting just the questions at the bottom of the post if anyone wants to copy those)
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 247, though I'm not really sure what the ratio is for images versus fics... Okay, apparently, 97 of them are tagged with 'fanart' and have fewer than 100 words, so somewhere around 100 image-only works and 147 fics.
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 1,141,145; which includes a few collabs and fics for which I just contributed an image.
3. What fandoms do you write for? TCW exclusively 😅 Though I've done a handful of images for other things like Arcane, Dune, Trigun, The Expanse, House of the Dragon...
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? A bunch of my works with the most kudos are images, but if we're talking fics, then I think it's just some of my oldest ones...
That’s Not How It Happened (This Is How It Happened) - Fives arc fix-it and my first fic.
Orbital Decay - Codywan that I haven't edited since I posted it, so I can't vouch for the quality.
Modulation - Another one I haven't touched since I posted it, but it's an 'Echo gets rescued much earlier than in canon and he and Fives reunite' fix-it of sorts.
Will You Walk With Me? - Waxer's pov from the start of the war to the (fix-it) end, and it mostly focuses on his and Boil's friendship (Waxer & Boil or Waxer/Boil pre-relationship - take your pick). Even though this certainly isn't the best thing I've written, it's my baby. 🧡
Interference - Umbara fix-it featuring minor canon characters and some necessary OCs in the first chapter, then more major canon characters later.
More stuff below the cut, since this is a long list...
5. Do you respond to comments? Yes!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably You're Just Harder to See Than Most, which ends very sadly on its own, but it's part of a larger fix-it including Modulation above, so Fives and Echo get reunited.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Pfff like basically all of them, idk XD;
8. Do you get hate on fics? No, just on one sketch dump, where someone went through 6 chapters of spicy cloneshippy images and then decided they needed to complain about it being gross and immoral 🤣 It was hysterical kjlksahfg
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Oh yes, I'm a certified smut goblin. Not really sure what the question means by 'what kind,' but I guess 'porn with feelings' is probably the AO3 tag that would most accurately describe all of the smut I've written XD
10. Do you write crossovers? Nope.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! :D
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Hm, I suppose if we're defining that as like, "what ship have you intensely shipped for the longest amount of time," it would be destiel? I was veeeeeery into that ship for many years.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I've had one wip sitting around for over a year, and for a while I was thinking I wasn't going to get back to it ever. But I made a little vibes playlist for it and had some help brainstorming, so I'm hopeful I can start tackling it again after I get some current stuff drafted.
16. What are your writing strengths? Starting something and working on it until it's finished.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? I have a lot of trouble generating ideas on my own.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I think it's fine as long as it's either A. very short and clear from context or B. for some reason, the writer is intending to confuse the reader and obfuscate what was said. I know I've said it before, but I'm not gonna scroll to the bottom of a fic every few paragraphs to find the translations for whole phrases or sentences. If the amount of 'other language' starts making the dialogue difficult to follow, I'm just gonna nope out.
19. First fandom you wrote for? Technically, I wrote one thing for Gundam Wing back in like 2000, but I can't even remember what I did with it or what it was about, exactly. Other than that, TCW.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? flsdlfg that's really difficult... idk man, if it's quality we're talking about rather than sentimentality, I'd say it's a toss-up between these three 😅:
My Heart's Red Muscle - Canon-divergent AU where Waxer is a cyborg.
Kinktober 2022 - Character studies/development through smut, where Waxer and Boil find a list of sexy things to try out, so it's kind of meta. It's from my main Open Skies AU, and I'm weirdly proud of this one XD;
We Could Breathe Underwater - Force-sensitive Waxer and Boil AU
Phew! Okay this took me like three sessions to answer, but it was fun :)
No-pressure tags: anyone who sees this and wants to do it, plus @lizardberries @elismor @bilbosmom-belladonna @valkeakuulas @petrifiedforests @marbled-polecat @writegowrite @sophronist @marbled-polecat @ivalane

codywan thoughs (but its basically me spilling thoughs, and not knowing where im headed)
so, for some reason i was on reddit (chasing memes), and there was a meme that was like:
so that got me thinking (mostly about codywan, because i ingored the other ships mentioned) (mostly because i haven't thought about them enough to form any opinions)
all ships will have some kind of problem, and if someone can't find any, they just make 'em up.
comming at codywan's inclusion in the meme, i would say, that yes, from a certain point of view it is problematic. and i would agree.
but nothing is ever just "black and white", you know.
and i don't know the canon ages and how it works with the clones in detail, and besides, everybody has their own interpretations.
i kinda see the ship as a thing in like "au's", but thats mostly because that means that in any given AU I create for whatever reason they could be anything to each other, and i just shift the univers functioning to fit what happens in it.
yea. i'm not really sure where i was going with that but hey.
one of my points is that really, people seem to complain a lot about all the wierd things out here on the internet, and its like, well of course its there. It's the internet!
which is also partly why i dislike the internet. it just shows you everithing, and you cant really manage it in any way. (Allthoug you can block tags on tumblr, which is very usefull, but it relies on people tagging things 'apropriatly')
but really, ship and let ship. if something really bothers you, just block the tag or whatever. there are ways around certain of these things.
besides, just because someone ships codywan does not mean they ship a like 14y.o. and a 40y.o. (although those are probably not their ages, I'm just writing hyperboles and whatever comes to mind). maybe they ship them in the case that yes, they are both adults, not peodofillia or however you spell it.
also maybe someday i will reread this and figure out what i mean to convey and fix it up.

20 questions for fic writers
I was tagged by @pinkytoothlesso11 Thank you! This is a long one, but very interesting well rounded questions for fic writers. I'll tag: @spicedrobot @skierunner @ashcroft-writes @kitepiper @calyxgold @ceruleanphoenix7 -- Not obligated to do this, just thought it may be fun!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
165
2. What's your total A03 word count?
664,619 words
3. What fandom's do you write for?
Star Wars (75+), Arcane (46), Original works (13), Avatar (12), Elden Ring (5), a couple "fairytale" fandoms (red riding hood retellings), and then a bunch of single works. I'm kinda spicy over the fact I have a single work in Hannibal, when it was me uploading a story a day for my first Nano. Ended up doing it all in one work to not have 30 stories, but I should have made a series. Many readers never made it to the end of that fic due to the absence of structure and--- I'm rambling.... (It should really say Hannibal (30))
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Fathers and Daughters
Never Too Late
Then the dreadful night shall break
Five is an awful number
While the world turns around
2 star wars fics, 2 arcane and 1 avatar? It's a good representation of my work!
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Always, unless they're turbo dumb and I'm at a loss for words... Or they somehow slip past me.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Eeeh, tough one! I like angst... There's an entire series I completed over the course of a month. The idea came from a redditor who made a collection for it : we had to kill the same character in a different manner every month. 12 death fics... For Obi-Wan Kenobi. I think the more gruesome one is Unhappy Landing. Mind the tags.
But I think it's on equal footing with the Arcane fic Whatever I Do, This Is Where We End which focused on a Silco/Vander timeloop, where Silco was the one in the loop, but Vander was the POV character the entire time. No happy ending and many, many deaths which grow increasingly meaningless.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I have a lot of those so not sure... But narrative wise, I think it's Never Too Late, which is reflected in its stats. It's about Obi-Wan reaching out to Dooku after QGJ's death. It's emotional and basically guarantees Anakin will have a bright future in better care. I have sooo many comments asking for more on it, almost as many as on my fallen Kenobi fic.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not really.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Sometimes... When some disease breaks down my immune defenses... It's not very good though. I'm the wrong kind of ace for it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I have, as a gimmick, like Arcane characters in a Star Wars setting... But I never think of it, and I basically never read crossovers. They're not my thing.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of. It has happened to my art though.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, though nobody ever rode the length of the work with me ahah!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, multiple times! That's stuff I really enjoy! I've done a Thrawn/Cad Bane with Spicedrobot, and an infamously hated Codywan fic with CollisionTheory... both featuring smut! I also did projects like 3 writers doing different entries within an overarching story (when i tried to wrangle friends into the kill your darlings all year scheme). Collabs are very fun, I especially like working with artists. If you want to work on something hit me up!
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
Vander/Silco, maybe, but Hannigram is breathing down my neck...
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Oh no... too many to count. I guess my first fic ever, The Tactician. I went on a never ending 'this is just a side thing because I'm in a rut' spiral, and now I have 165 fics. IIRC I have about 24 WIPs on AO3.
PLEASE DON'T HURT ME I'M TRYIN OKK??
16. What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue and banter.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Smut and romance, and also sometimes killing my darlings (not characters, but pieces of heavy lore my betas are trying to rip from my sticky fingers because they don't care).
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I have done it only in fake alien languages, never received any praise for it, don't plan on doing it again. Real life language... eeeh not unless I have a really good reason for it somehow.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Star Wars. Thrawn... the Original blue daddy!
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
It would have to be my magnum opus, Fathers and Daughters. Not just because I think it's the pinnacle of my worst brainrot ever, but also because I'm forever impressed with myself for holding on that long. Sometimes I re-read it and can't remember writing half of it. I've made myself snicker at my own jokes, so I think I've done a good job of it!
But in my heart of hearts, there's one chapter of that long series of Hannibal ficlet which somehow is one of the pieces of writing I'm smugest about. I just think it's so neat... It's called To Visit Her, it's 222 words, and depicts Hannibal's mind palace, and its innermost chamber. I genuinely think I peaked years ago with some of those ficlets x'D

Thoughts on some of the more popular M/M in star wars? And your favorite?(example: dinluke, Finpoe, rexwalker, codywan?)
In general I like them all (tbh, less so with dinluke but I'll expand on that below).
Since I follow a lot of clone-centric blogs, I don't see as many M/M Star Wars pairings come across my dash as I do with other pairings. I do like finpoe, and I like the Finn/Poe/Rey triad (an OT3 for me), but I didn't really like the sequels, so I don't follow many blogs that post sequel content. I love seeing it when it makes its way across my dash, though.
For dinluke, I was never really all that hot on it, tbh. Maybe it was the limited contact (which honestly doesn't really matter much when we make our own fanon), but I've always been a bit partial to Luke/Lando, or Luke/Han (or if we're feeling really spicy, Luke/Han/Leia -with Luke & Leia being involved with Han but not with each other, of course). Another nail for dinluke was Luke sending Grogu back to Din with R2. We all know that R2 was perfectly capable, of course, but Luke not going back just rubbed me wrong. It could be the premise of a dinluke fic though. Luke doesn't go because he can't bear to see Din, and fears he'll run away to be with him too. Or something like that. Anyway, I can't really ship anyone with Din who wouldn't personally ensure that Grogu made it back to him safely.
Regarding Din, I kind of ship him with everybody that was ready to ready to die for our little green baby or willing to fight side by side with him. So that includes nearly everyone he comes in contact with. Bobadin and dincobb are both pretty popular, bit honestly I like all of them (I even ship him a little bit with Cara Dune). I think I could happily put him at the center of his own harem.
As a clone-centric blog you'd think I would see rexwalker fairly often, but it rarely comes across my dash. I don't have any issue with it, and I think there could be some fun scenarios there, but I don't really see much Anakin shipping coming through either. I wonder if that has to do with how central to the prequels his love for Padme is? In any case, not one I particularly search out, but if the right bit of art or fic comes across my dash I'm smashing the reblog button.
Codywan is probably my favorite, and it seems to be pretty popular with a lot of other people too. I think I like it because it's pretty obviously doomed, so to see art and fics where everything's OK is great (or conversely, when everything is ripping your heart out and you just want them to be happy, but Cody's over here still hunting Obi-Wan down even though it's been 10 years). Anyway, I love Obi-Wan much more than I actually post here. His story is packed full of loss, and he just continues on doing what he believes he has to do. He is steady and solid during the worst parts of his life, and he never waivers. It pays off in the end.
On Cody's part, he is a strong and capable leader who loves his men and is dedicated to serving the Republic. We have seen his kindness and compassion in canon, and we know that he has morals and convictions he won't compromise in the name of service. Unfortunately when it comes to the Clones, canon limits us in regard to Canon/Canon ships. Most clones don't interact with non-clones that aren't either their Jedi general, another Jedi general, a padawan, or a senator. There's also a power imbalance issue, and I think that limits a lot of people in shipping clones with most other canon characters as well.
What I would love to see more (personally) in codywan shipping is Cody being the one to comfort Obi-Wan, or sometimes more "neutral" balances (Cody being the big spoon, or standing over Obi-Wan).
Regarding clone power imbalances, I've seen a lot of different discussions on it by a lot of different people. It's a complicated subject in shipping (heck, any shipping that includes clones has a lot of things to consider that are conplicated). For my part, I chose to recognize canon in that the clones are quite limited in what they're permitted to do, places they're permitted to go, ect, but when they have that bit of freedom (not enough, tbh), they have the free will to make the choices they want, and that would include chosing a partner that puts them in a power imbalanced relationship.
For any other M/M ship in Star Wars (including rarepairs and other less popular ships), I'm live and let live. I may or may not like it, but I would scroll on by if I didn't like it.

Cody didn’t often meet with his batchmates on Coruscant.
Of course, there were the times where everyone of them was on Coruscant, but since they were all commanders, those times were rare. Didn’t change how much they meant, though.
Sometimes, there was at least one other batchmate and sometimes, Cody was the only one of his batch on Coruscant.
But that wasn’t entirely true.
It wasn’t the fact that Fox wasn’t on Coruscant that stopped him from meeting often with his batchmates. Quite the opposite, in fact. He always was on Coruscant. It was the fact that his job took up too much of his time.
As the commander overlooking the Coruscant Guard and the GAR, as well as being responsible for an entire planets worth of security, as well as the senate’s security -even if the Senate had it’s own guards just for that, as Fox had often enough complained over during drunken nights- and had probably even more duties than Cody was aware of, Fox hardly had time for anything but his duties.
Which meant that any little time Cody could spend with his ori’vod Fox was cherished. And, despite what Fox constantly said, Cody knew Fox loved those nights as well. Even if he came back to the barracks some nights more annoyed or drunk than he was before he left. Cody is simply fulfilling his duty as a younger brother. He takes it very seriously.
And if that time is spend helping him on a mission or annoying him on duty, Cody does not mind one bit.
Especially if it was on a mission a little deeper in Coruscant, where the action usually took place.
Especially, if Obi-Wan was there as well.
Cody just thought it was time his ori’vod and cyare finally officially met.
And so far, it went quite swimmingly.
That was until Obi-Wan suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked around and whispered a confused “Quinlan?”.
Which made Fox turn around sharply -because obviously that name meant something for Fox- and pin Obi-Wan with his gaze, stealing his focus from their surroundings.
At probably the worst time, because right then a building two blocks away exploded in a fiery show of light.
The shockwave shattered windows and lights, cracked the asphalt and pushed everything light enough, away. It brought the three of them to their knees, debris and shards of glass crashing to the floor around them.
Civilians were screaming and running away, but the comm on Fox’ wrist crackled to life, voices of their team of vode screaming through it.
But Cody didn’t hear anything through the ringing in his ears, his vision blurry. He was barely making out his vode and cyare, but that was all he needed to know at the moment.
Suddenly everything stopped. Then came a soothing touch at the edges of his mind and he relaxed a bit.
Opening his eyes and taking his hands away from his ears, he looks up right into his boyfriend’s beautifully blue, concerned eyes. Then there were careful hands on his shoulders, pulling him up and dusting him off.
The moment he was on eye level with Obi-Wan, he looked him up and down, searching for any injuries. Finding nothing but scrapes and bruises, he looked around for his ori’vod, intending on making sure he was alright as well.
Fox was standing a little away from them, at the mouth of the alley they were in, his calculating eyes trained on the burning destruction two blocks away and talking over his comm.
Throwing one arms over his boyfriend’s shoulders, he made his way to his older brother, wincing every time his twisted ankle made contact with the ground.
Fox turned around quickly, once he heard them shuffling his way and walked the rest of the distance, already looking the both of them over.
A quick glance showed Cody that next to a cut at the side of his head, Fox was relatively unharmed. Fortunately for him, the bleeding already stopped.
“Our squad is already taking care of it. Others are on their way to help. They said we should make our way to a medic”, Fox said, his voice taking on an annoyed tone towards the end and rolling his eyes.
Cod scoffed. None of them were really a fan of the medics, but even if two of them could be suicidal idiots, at least two of them needed medical attention and those weren’t the same two people. They would make sure whoever needed it, would get the medical attention and only then would think about getting it themselves. Too bad it would always be two against one.
Heaving a sigh, Cody took control of the situation.
“Well, alright then. Let’s go to that medic.”
“No wait! Quinlan!”
Before both Cody and Fox could stop and look at Obi-Wan confused, waiting for an explanation, another explosion went off.
Although it was significantly smaller, debris and glass still fell down on them.
While Fox ducked to the side and pressed himself against the nearest wall, Obi-Wan shoved Cody against the other one, which was nearer to them, pressing himself in front of him.
Looking over his cyare’s shoulder, Cody locked eyes with an exasperated Fox. If he knew missions mostly ended up like this on Coruscant, Cody probably would’ve spent more time with his cyare than his ori’vod.
When it stopped raining glass and rocks, Fox took a tentative step forward and checked their environment. Looking back to them, he nodded his head in a clear sign that it was safe.
Since people were screaming anew, it took a while for Cody to realize one yell getting louder and louder. And weirdly enough, coming from upwards.
Fox teared his eyes away from him and in perfect tandem with Obi-Wan, looked up.
As fast as lighting, he held out his arms and nearly collapsed to the floor when he caught a person, tripping over his feet while trying to keep his balance.
And then there was silence.
“Wow, Foxy. If I knew that all it took was me running from an explosion for me to finally land in your arms, I would’ve used this flirting tactic ages ago.”
In Fox’ arms was one Quinlan Vos, currently sporting a smokingly hot new look, and catching his breath, but still somehow sounding not winded at all as he flirted with Fox, winking in good measure and throwing an arm around his shoulder.
Even if neither Cody nor Obi-wan knew what just happened, for Fox this was apparently nothing new as he just looked at them, his tired eyes telling of a story, and sighed heavily.
Gaze still trained on them, he let go of Quinlan, letting him fall to the ground with a surprised sound and turning around.
“Let’s go to that medic.”
Sharing a quick, confused look with his cyare, they looked from Fox to Quinlan, who was still laying on the ground and groaning in pain.
“C’mon, he’ll be fine”, Fox dismissed.
But when they didn’t budge, he sighed again, his shoulders dropping in defeat, and turned around. Giving them a quick look of despair and suffering over his shoulder, he made his way to the jedi. With a grimace, he heaved the jedi up into his arms and then continued his walk to the medic, a moaning jedi in his arms.
Cody and Obi-Wan shared a look, still as confused as before.
While Obi-Wan lifted both his eyebrows in question, Cody only shrugged his shoulders as an answer.
Looking back to the other pair, they caught them right as they were about to walk around the corner, while talking to each other in quiet tones. Out of all the things Cody expected, it wasn’t the jetii shoving his face in his ori’vod’s neck that surprised him. Rather it as the fact that his ori’vod apparently didn’t mind and actually smiled down at the jetii.
Sharing another dumbstruck look, Cody and Obi-Wan finally began moving to catch up to them.
And while they still had absolutely no idea what just happened, they were sure they wouldn’t just forget about it any time soon.
And if Cody cornered every other commander of the Coruscant Guard after that mission to catch up on some good ol’ teasing material, nobody needed to know that.
Not when it made Fox smile at that jetii with the most lovestruck look Cody has ever seen.
Translations:
ori’vod – older brother
cyare – beloved
vode – siblings
jetii - jedi

"You've got to do better than that if you want to fool me" for the Hidden Injury prompts with your romantic or platonic relationship of choice!!! (Or Codywan if you can't think of any others ;) )
Hi Imp!! I’m sorry this is late, I absolutely had the intention when i posted the prompt list to get yours and the other one done the same night, but that just didn’t end up happening!
My brain conjured up for you a totally randomly thought of snippet that exists in a modern au. Cody taking care of the twins is one of my favorite things, so here is Cody watching the twins (like 7 years old ish). While he's making dinner the twins are up to no good outside. This is really more comfort and goofiness than hurt/comfort/angst. I hope you like it!
hidden injury dialogue prompts <- if it strikes your fancy, I'll write you a snippet!
read on ao3
---
Everything was in its place. Cody had all the spices lined up alongside the stove, standing at attention, a pot of water coming to a boil, and Waxer on speaker, reading off of the recipe card he’d found wedged in between pages of one of their dad’s hand-me-down cookbooks.
Why Waxer hadn’t just sent Cody a picture of the recipe, Cody wasn’t sure, but he’d learned a long time ago to pick which battles to fight with his little brother and this was not one of them.
Anyways, if it helped Waxer feel involved after coming home from the service, Cody would do it in a heartbeat.
All in all, it was setting out to a be a delightfully uneventful, calm evening between brothers. Even the twins had been occupied in the backyard for a full hour. Cody glanced out the window every few minutes to watch his niece and nephew huddled over something by one of the big oaks and smiled. For the next twenty minutes, Cody just let Waxer talk him through each step, throwing gentle jabs at him along the way, and let the twins slip out of his mind.
The patio door slid open and Cody knew, without even having to look, that Leia was trying to sneak Luke inside without him noticing. Whatever scheme she’d no doubt been convincing Luke of by that tree had somehow gone wrong, and somehow, because of course he did, Luke had gotten himself in to some kind of trouble.
“You've got to do better than that if you want to fool me,” Cody said, still facing the now rolling boil in front of him, grin cracked across his face despite himself. “Wax, I gotta take care of the kids real quick, I’m gonna mute myself then be right back, ‘kay?”
“Sure thing Cody. Hey twins!”
“Hi Uncle Waxer!” both twins chorused just slightly out of sync.
Cody pressed mute and turned, and the bark of laughter ripped out of him before he could slam him hand over his mouth.
Luke was standing on the doormat, dripping miserably all over, covered head to toe in thick, gloopy mud. He was shivering and his lower lip wobbled just the slightest, but he also had his chin jutted out just like Leia.
“Leia, sweetheart, what did you do, dunk him in the river?”
The moment he said it dread filled him at the realization that very well could have been what happened.
“Leia Skywalker, tell me you didn’t dunk your brother in the river.”
“Of course not, Uncle Cody, I’m not stupid!” Leia crossed her arms and stomped her foot.
“Ok. Well,” Cody turned to Luke, trying for his sake to keep the smile off his face. “Luke, are you alright?”
“Yeah,” Luke’s voice was so quiet it made Cody almost scoop his nephew up right then and there, his own clothes be damned.
“Ok little buddy, let’s get you changed, ok?” He offered his hand and Luke quickly reached out to take it.
“Ok, Uncle Cody.”
Later that night, after an intense amount of hosing down and a warm shower, Luke was nestled against Cody on the couch in warm sweatpants and wrapped in a blanket, eating the soup Cody had finished while he was in the shower. Leia was snuggled up against Cody’s other side, out like a light and snoring.
The lock on the front door clicked open and Cody let his head drop against the back of the couch to see Obi-Wan quietly setting his stuff down against the wall by the stair banister. He made his way over, a smile on his face.
“Hello darling, an eventful night?”
Luke giggled.
“Leia pushed me into the mud!”
Obi-Wan cam around the couch and gently scooped Leia out of the couch cushions, pressing a kiss against Cody’s cheek and then one against Luke’s head.
“Well, I’ll take this one up to bed then, it seems she’s had an eventful day. You’re next, Luke.”
Luke smashed his faced against Cody’s ribs.
“Uncle Cody tell him I’m not sleepy,” Luke whined. His next breath was taken up by a truly enormous yawn, and Cody smiled.
“You've got to do better than that if you want to fool me, Luke.”
Luke was asleep in five minutes.

Learning to deal with emotionally crippling pain
For @codywanweek 2021 Day 2: AU (Modern University AU.)
You can also read this fic here on A03.
(The title of the fic will make sense after reading the fic.)
This is set at Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK, where I went to uni. As I wanted to combine the uni I loved going to with one of my favourite ships.
No major warnings, but there is a slight, non-graphic, description of how bodies were buried during the Black Death (this may seem very random, but I don’t want to gross anyone out.)
(I was inspired by @catawampuscorner drawing adorable baby clones in animal onesies, the cuteness now lives rent free in my brain and my brain desperately wanted to add baby clones and baby Jedi in animal onesies to this fic due to their wonderful drawings of the baby clones. So, I have referenced codywan and some other clones being youngsters in animal onesies near the end of this fic.)
Also Wolffe and Fox are twins because I thought of the idea about a month ago and loved it so much.
Cody hefted his kit bag onto his shoulder and nodded in thanks to the bus driver as he stepped off the bus on Oxford Road. He turned hearing a loud thump and rolled his eyes, Fives had, against Cody’s and Rex’s advice, decided to sit on the top deck of the double-decker bus while carrying his heavy rugby kit bag. Unsurprisingly Fives stumbled and hit the wall of the stairs as he tried to walk down the steep steps, his bag over balancing him. Rex threw out an arm to steady their younger brother and then the two of them joined Cody on the pavement.
“We did warn you,” stated Rex with a roll of his eyes.
“Whatever,” griped Fives. Without another word, Fives was walking through All Saints Park, no doubt heading back to the student halls where he shared a flat with his twin Echo and six other first year students.
“I really hope Echo is better soon. I don’t know how much longer I can take Fives in this mood,” sighed Rex shaking his head.
“You and me both,” agreed Cody with a nod of his head at his younger brother.
Cody was the eldest of the four brothers, and was currently in his third and final year of studying his undergraduate history degree at Manchester Metropolitan University. Rex was eleven months younger than him and was in his second year studying law, Echo and Fives were their younger brothers who were twins. The family hadn’t thought that Fives was interested in going to university, which was fine with them as they didn’t want to push him into something he didn’t want. But when Echo announced his intention of going to study mathematics at the same university where Cody and Rex were studying, Fives suddenly announced that he was also going to Man Met to study physiotherapy. The twins were in their first year and two years ago, at eighteen, Cody had thought he would be getting some peace from his three younger brothers, in the end he only got one year of peace before his brothers joined him in quick succession. But thankfully he only had to put up with living with them when they were all home for the holidays. As Cody shared a one-bedroom flat with his long-term boyfriend Obi-Wan who had also chosen to study at Man Met, also in his third year, studying English literature. Obi-Wan and Cody had been best friends since their first day at primary school aged four, later confessing their romantic feelings for each other when they were sixteen, both coming down from the stress of getting their GCSE results. They hadn’t actually told each other where they were applying for university, not wanting to influence each other’s decision. But they still ended up at the same university anyway, not that Cody was complaining.
Like Cody, Obi-Wan had not been able to escape his younger brother. Anakin was friends with Fives and Echo as they were the same age, Anakin was in his first year studying engineering at Man Met. It was funny to Cody, because Echo and Anakin’s subjects were in the same faculty, they often saw each other as their lectures and seminars took place in the John Dalton buildings, whereas Fives went to lectures across the main road on the slightly smaller campus in the Brooks Building. Fives had always been protective of Echo, his reasoning being he was the older twin so had to look out for Echo. But after Echo got hurt in a car accident when they were fifteen driving home with their dad, Fives had grown even more protective, somehow blaming himself because he wasn’t there in the car with Echo. The youngest of the four brothers hadn’t been seriously hurt, but the accident had gained him a constant shadow. So, when the twins applied to the university, they looked at the map of the two campuses and picked Oxford Court for their student halls accommodation because it was pretty much in the middle of where the two of them would have their lectures and seminars.
With another look in the direction Fives had gone, feeling a rare moment of relief at seeing his brother walk away. Cody loved his brothers, but because Echo had gotten injured in their last rugby game, he couldn’t take part in practice and it had left Fives in a mood for the past week. Neither Echo, Cody or Rex could seem to talk Fives out of his mood, leading to Cody thinking he may have to call their parents to talk some sense into Fives. But he didn’t want to worry his mum, which is what would happen if Cody had to tell her Fives still wasn’t okay a week after Echo badly spraining his ankle. So, Cody’s only other option would be to call his twin cousins, Wolffe and Fox who were both in their third and final years of studying at the same university in London. Wolffe was studying sport science, while Fox was studying history like Cody, but with more of a focus on medical history while Cody preferred military history.
Wolffe and Fox were the closest cousins Cody and his brothers had, due to their parents all moving to Britain from New Zealand due to his father and uncle getting jobs with the same tech company before Cody, Wolffe and Fox were born. Leaving the rest of the aunts, uncles and cousins back in New Zealand with their grandparents. Cody then reflected, calling the other twins might not be a bad idea. Wolffe would be gruff but caring in talking to Fives and if that failed, Fox would just beat sense into him either verbally or physically. With there being direct trains from London to Manchester, Cody wouldn’t be surprised if Fox came in person to beat some sense into Fives. Fox had no patience for Fives’ protective older brother routine of Echo and that was down to Wolffe being protective of Fox. Which he hated, but to be fair to Wolffe, he was fully justified going by the amount of coffee and lack of sleep Fox was powering through to work on his assignments and dissertation. Despite the fact it was still January and Fox had three months left until he had to hand in his dissertation.
Thinking of dissertations, Cody waved goodbye to Rex and headed towards the cafeteria in the Business School building to get some tea for his boyfriend. Once he acquired the tea in a take away cup, he went next door to the library where Obi-Wan was working on his dissertation, thankful that their university library allowed food and drink as long as it was silent. Fox was insanely jealous as his university library forbade any food or drink to enter the building, meaning Fox was deprived of his precious coffee. Which was why Wolffe pushed Fox to work in the library as often as he could. Cody didn’t mind plying Obi-Wan with tea, because while he could say Obi-Wan was additive to his tea, he didn’t drink any caffeinated tea two hours before going to bed, unlike Fox who was known to drink a mug of coffee before going to bed if Wolffe hadn’t managed to stop him. It was a wonder Wolffe hadn’t gone grey with the amount of time he spent worrying over his twin brother.
Cody scanned his student card to let him past the barriers and started walking up the two flights of stairs to the floor Obi-Wan liked to work on. The library was massive, with its different wings and five floors, but Cody was glad it was so big because it could be divided into silent study areas and group study areas, where you could talk so long as you were quiet. Obi-Wan, like Cody, hated working in complete silence and in their first year they found a nook between some shelves that had a table where they could bring their own laptops to work on their essays together. But were conveniently close to university computers so they could log on to print their work if needed. It was also a space their brothers had been unable to find them in, although Cody was fairly certain Rex knew where he liked to work, but was kind enough to leave him alone. Anakin, Echo and Fives would not be as considerate.
He walked through the doors into the study area and walked halfway into the big room with its rows of computers and shelves of books, until he found Obi-Wan hunched over his notes and two books he was using for his dissertation. Cody silently reminded himself that he was due to meet with his dissertation supervisor tomorrow to check the progress on his second chapter. He placed the cup of tea on the table beside Obi-Wan’s laptop and pressed a kiss onto the mess of copper hair, noting that his boyfriend hadn’t shaved again, making him wonder if Obi-Wan was committing to growing a beard. If he did, it would be because Obi-Wan was fed up of people thinking he was sixteen or seventeen, rather than being almost twenty-one years old, something that delighted Anakin to no end. Obi-Wan slowly sat up and blinked owlishly at him and rubbed a hand over his face. “Rugby practice is over already?” he asked in confusion as he looked at his watch.
Cody snorted in amusement, “thankfully yes.” Obi-Wan had come to the library just after Cody left their flat for practice, that had been two and half hours ago.
Obi-Wan reached for his tea and sighed in pleasure when he sipped on the hot liquid. “Fives still in a mood then?”
“Yes,” he sighed in exasperation as he sat down beside Obi-Wan and putting his kit bag on the floor with a roll of his shoulder.
Raising a knowing eyebrow over the rim of his cup, Obi-Wan asked. “Are you going to call Wolffe and Fox?” Cody nodded in agreement, smiling to himself, happy at how easily Obi-Wan fit into his family. Obi-Wan, Cody, Wolffe and Fox had all gone through school together. Obi-Wan and Anakin’s dad, Qui-Gon, was a friend of Cody’s parents and often came over for dinner. According to his dad, Cody’s mum and Qui-Gon had been having wine nights when they lamented over their empty nests and how it was unfair how quickly their children were growing up. While Cody’s aunt just laughed at them because Wolffe and Fox had left home for university almost three years before.
They lapsed into silence, and Cody just let himself day dream as he listened to the clack of Obi-Wan’s keyboard. He also ran through a mental list of things he needed to do for his dissertation and thought he could do with another trip down to London to go to the National Archives again for some more primary sources. His phone buzzed and Cody snorted at the text message from Echo.
[Echo] Fives is in SUCH a bad mood! Please help me!
[Cody] Sorry Echo. Rex and I had him for two hours, we need a break.
[Echo] WORST BIG BROTHERS EVER!!!!
[Echo] I hope you marry Obi-Wan so I can adopt him as my favourite older brother.
[Echo] You know what. I’m not waiting until you marry him. He’s my favourite brother now.
Cody chuckled to himself, he couldn’t argue with Echo, Obi-Wan was his favourite person too.
[Cody] What WILL Fives say?
[Echo] Right now I don’t care. He’s driving me INSANE!!!!
[Cody] I was going to call Wolffe and Fox to see if they could help.
[Echo] PLEASE!!! I am BEGGING YOU!!!!
[Echo] You know what?
[Echo] Just skip straight to Fox.
[Echo] And record it. I want to relive that future moment for forever. Fox’s position as my favourite cousin will be secured.
Cody snorted in amusement again, Obi-Wan turned to him in question. So, Cody just showed him the messages and Obi-Wan shook his head in amusement, but he blushed slightly. No doubt due to Echo’s comments on Cody marrying Obi-Wan.
“Echo wishing harm on Fives. I never thought I’d see the day,” commented Obi-Wan, his blue eyes sparkling with laughter. No doubt remembering the times Fox lost his patience with bullies and idiots they went to school with and just went for them. Their aunt had to give Fox the disapproving lecture, but she also slipped Fox money for standing up to bullies for other kids. So, Fox’s handling of bullies and idiots had never been stopped, only been encouraged.
“Oh, Echo can be pushed to it,” chuckled Cody, recalling the few times Fives had made Echo lose his temper. Echo was a nice and quiet person, which also made him one of those people you did not want to make angry, because when his patience snapped. It snapped. He could be worse than Fox, and that said something.
“By the way, your dad text me. He’s invited me to a family reunion dinner in a month’s time. So, is anyone coming over from New Zealand?” Obi-Wan asked as he started to tidy his books away and turn off his laptop.
Cody nodded. “My grandparents are coming over in three weeks and are staying until the summer as they want to be here for mine, Wolffe and Fox’s graduations. Then a few of the cousins are coming over in the summer.” He smiled to himself; it would be nice to see his family members again. They all saw each other every year, one year Cody and his family would fly out to New Zealand and the next year the family would fly over to Britain for a few weeks. With all of the cousins now at university, it made sorting out reunions easier due to the longer holidays they all had.
Obi-Wan’s eyes sparkled with amusement again, “anymore family arguments to look forward to?” he laughed.
“Probably,” Cody sighed as he rolled his eyes. Obi-Wan had come out to New Zealand with him last summer and witnessed some truly spectacular family arguments and rather silly ones as well. The most prominent being about Fox and Echo’s names.
When Fox had been a toddler, he and Wolffe had been put into animal onesies (Cody and his brothers also shared that misfortune with their cousins, but the less said about that the better), Wolffe into a wolf onesie and Fox into a fox onesie. Ever since Fox wanted to be called Fox, as he hated his proper name, the name being Frederick. If anyone ever called him Frederick when he was a small child he bit them, leading to his parents to tell their school when they started that it would be best if they didn’t call Fox Frederick for the safety of their own fingers.
Then when Echo had been four and in school, learning about words that began with the letter E, he heard the word Echo and wanted to call himself that, because he didn’t like being called Eli. Cody’s mum had tried to tell Echo his name was Eli, but Echo said Fox picked his name, so why couldn’t he? Cody’s mum tried her hardest to get Echo to forget about calling himself Echo, seeing as he was named after his mum’s father-in-law Elias and didn’t want to offend him. But Echo just started repeating everything everyone said, until the point their dad begged their mum to just let Echo call himself Echo. Fives didn’t want to be left out, and chose the nickname Fives, but he wasn’t involved in the arguments because he let their grandmother still call him Felix. Echo and Fox on the other hand, both refused to answer to their given names. And Obi-Wan had witnessed their grandmother once again getting annoyed when Echo and Fox didn’t answer her when she called them Eli and Frederick. That was also the visit where Obi-Wan learnt just who Echo and Fox inherited their stubbornness from. Grandpa Elias was not offended and found the whole thing hilarious and continued to congratulate Echo on his name every time he saw Echo. Cody was also convinced, his grandmother only continued the argument for the sake of it, he had seen her handwriting in birthday cards calling Echo and Fox by their chosen names. But she still wrote Eli and Frederick on family Christmas cards, again probably just for the drama.
But some uncles and aunts were not happy with Echo and Fox changing their names, albeit not legally, because other cousins began following their lead. Namely their four cousins who were all siblings (two sets of twins), Hunter, Crosshair, Wrecker and Tech. The four of them changing their names and even happily calling themselves the Bad Batch at family gatherings much to the ire of their mother. Fives was blamed for their collective nickname, as Obi-Wan found out and thought it was hilarious. The Bad Batch had invited Echo to play with them when they were small, and Fives who had not been invited to play had been jealous and called them the Bad Batch, the four of them had loved it and adopted it as their group name.
Obi-Wan started to laugh quietly to himself as he put his laptop away in his bag. At Cody’s questioning look he smiled and said. “I’m just wondering who will be the first to say something to disrupt family dinner. Either you, your brothers or your cousins will say something. You have done ever since the first family dinner I was invited to when I was five.”
Cody smirked to himself and nodded, “honestly I’m expecting it to be Fox again. You know he deals with stress in the weirdest ways.”
“You mean like putting everyone else off their food?” teased Obi-Wan, his eyes glinting at the memory of the last dinner everyone had together.
Over the four-week long Christmas holiday, Cody’s parents had hosted numerous family dinners, wanting to spend as much time together as possible. As it was understood with Cody, Obi-Wan, Wolffe and Fox graduating university later that year, they may not get to come home as often anymore. Also, as Cody’s uncle and aunt lived next door to them and Obi-Wan lived five houses further down the road, it was very easy for Cody’s uncle and aunt, Wolffe, Fox, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Anakin to join their family for dinner. Which also meant, Cody and Obi-Wan had to suffer the embarrassment of watching Qui-Gon and Cody’s mum tearfully looking at photos of them growing up, mourning the loss of their ‘little ones’. While Cody’s aunt sipped on her glass of red wine and cackled at them, saying it was better to have both her kids leave the nest at once, as she didn’t have to go through kids moving out more than once.
Cody had also been horrified to learn there existed a photo of him in an animal onesie after all, and to make it worse, he was four in the photo. He was at school, but because his mum wanted a picture of all her boys in their animal onesies, he had been put into his old lion onesie (mane included on the hood) that was getting too small for him. But it had interested him to see it was a group photo of all of them sat on the living room floor. Obi-Wan was also in the photo, in a onesie that resembled the fictional varactyl creature he had been obsessed with when he was four. His unimpressed look matching Cody’s, in the photo both of them had their arms crossed as they glared at their parents off camera. Wolffe and Fox were also in the photo, but too busy pulling on each other’s hoods, Wolffe almost taking off one of Fox’s onesie’s ears. Rex, at three, was happily beaming at their mum in his elephant onesie that included a small trunk attached to the hood. Leaning against Rex on his left was Anakin, who at two, was too busy trying to eat his own foot as he sat in his dog onesie. On Rex’s right was the little twins, Echo beaming at the camera in his giraffe onesie as he lifted a hand up to squeeze the felt face of the giraffe attached to the hood and Fives, in a moose onesie (seriously where had his parents found these?), was busy trying to grab one of his felt antlers and eat it. Apparently, their parents had kept all of the onesies, what they planned to do with them Cody couldn’t guess.
But while the onesie group photo had been embarrassing, it hadn’t put anyone off their food. No, that came when Cody’s dad asked all of them how university was going. Everyone listened as one by one, all the boys explained what they had been doing. The adults patiently listened as Cody, Obi-Wan, Wolffe and Fox talked about their dissertations and skilfully manoeuvring the conversation so as to avoid third year meltdowns as the families had taken to calling their tearful, stressed rants. While Rex, Anakin, Fives and Echo stared at them in dawning horror as they realised what was in their immediate future. Fox had given Cody advice on where to find primary sources, as Fox was writing his ten-thousand-word dissertation on the Black Death and at this point, was basically an expert on where to find medical documents from varying time periods. Which was immensely helpful for Cody because his dissertation was on the treatment of shell shock in the First World War.
Dinner seemed to then settle, with all the boys commenting on funny or interesting things they had heard at university. When Fox piped up, “I was reading a chapter for my dissertation when the author commented that they buried people who had died of the Black Death by lying down a layer of bodies, then a layer of soil, another layer of bodies, more soil, more bodies and then the final layer of soil. It was interesting that the author used the analogy of the bodies been buried like how you make a lasagne.”
Everyone stopped, many of the people gathered around the table stared at Fox, with forks paused in the air. Fox, oblivious continued to eat his dinner with a smile on his face. Which was lasagne. Wolffe just shook his head and sighed in exasperation as he stopped eating his portion of lasagne and instead reached for a piece of garlic bread. Obi-Wan, taking interest in the analogy, was asking Fox if he had come across any other analogies like it. Rex, Echo and Fives dropped their forks and looked at their food in faint disgust. Qui-Gon and Anakin, who normally didn’t find anything disgusting, looked down at the lasagne on their plates in muted horror. Cody’s parents and uncle just sighed, with his uncle massaging his forehead in exasperation, while Cody’s aunt lifted her wine glass up and saluted Fox with it before taking a sip (Fox was a lot like his mother). Cody raised an eyebrow at his cousin, Fox smirked and then reached for the serving dish in the centre of the table. “Oh, no one else wants anymore? Guess I’ll finish the lasagne up then,” Fox stated with a mock innocent look on his face. Wolffe just sighed again and thumped his head down onto the table. Leaving Cody with the impression that Fox was hungry and saw how quickly the food was disappearing and decided to take matters into his own hands.
As Cody and Obi-Wan walked out of the library holding hands, Cody turned to Obi-Wan and smirked. “It is safe to say, lasagne will not be on the menu.”
Obi-Wan laughed loudly as they made their way into the cold air outside, wrapping his scarf tighter around his neck. Obi-Wan also admitted that neither his father nor Anakin, had been able to eat lasagne since that dinner. Anakin had seen lasagne being served for lunch at the university one day and had practically fled the cafeteria.
Together they walked to the bus stop that was less than a minute walk from the library and sat in contented silence as they travelled from campus on the short bus journey to their flat. Their shoulders knocked gently together as they swayed as the bus pulled in and out of bus stops. Their hands were still clasped together, and Obi-Wan was looking out of the window with a smile on his face as he watched people go about their day. Cody found himself unable to tear his gaze away from Obi-Wan’s face, watching as his eyes crinkled as he smiled at the sight of a giggling child play peekaboo with their younger sibling. The bright winter sun turned Obi-Wan’s copper hair into flames and it was a sight that always memorised Cody without fail. It was the sight that led to four-year-old him talking to Obi-Wan on their first day at school because he had never seen someone with the same-coloured hair as Obi-Wan before. Cody only realised they had reached the bus stop they needed when Obi-Wan pressed the button to alert the driver to stop. He reached down for his kit bag and swung it up onto his shoulder, they walked off the bus, thanked the driver and continued walking while holding hands. Obi-Wan began to talk about a book he had had to read for one of his modules and while Cody never heard of the book before, he enjoyed seeing how excited Obi-Wan was about it.
Once they got inside their flat, Obi-Wan put his bag, that contained his laptop and some books, on the floor by the door and went into the kitchen. Cody watched him for a moment, glad to see Obi-Wan was distracted making them both some lunch. Cody sat at their table and turned his laptop on and logged into the website where he was creating a photobook of photos of himself and Obi-Wan throughout their lives as a birthday present. There were hundreds of photos of them together over the years they had known each other, there were photos of primary, secondary and sixth form last days. Seeing how they had changed in those years was endearing and funny at the same time. Cody caught Obi-Wan looking over at him and Cody playfully tilted his laptop screen away from Obi-Wan’s view, not that his boyfriend could see it from where he was anyway. Obi-Wan smiled and then turned back to the sandwiches he was making. Obi-Wan knew he was getting his birthday present, just as Cody was aware Obi-Wan was also organising his birthday present, as Obi-Wan’s birthday was two days before Cody��s.
Cody checked through the photobook one last time and then seeing that everything was as he wanted it, he clicked order and waited for the confirmation email to arrive. Once it had, he closed his laptop down and smiled as Obi-Wan, at that moment, walked up to him and handed him a plate with his sandwich and an apple.
“I love you,” Cody said with a smile.
Obi-Wan rolled his eyes fondly, “ah yes. You only love me for my sandwich making skills.”
“You caught me!” chuckled Cody as he held his hands up in defence. They shared a smile and then both began eating their sandwiches in earnest. They chatted about friends from home who had gone to other universities or who went into work, the friends they had made in Manchester, the antics of crazy younger brothers and they also talked about if they wanted to do a Masters degree in their subject and if they did, where should they go? As it wasn’t a question about if they would go together, even if Obi-Wan decided to do a Masters and Cody didn’t, he was still going to move to whichever city Obi-Wan chose to go to for his Masters. But Cody was also liking the idea of doing a history Masters himself. “We could go to London. Wolffe and Fox are both going to do a Masters, we could go to uni with them.”
Obi-Wan frowned at him in amusement. “I thought you loved living in Manchester.”
“I do,” agreed Cody. “But I also want some peace from my brothers.” He added with a faked whining tone.
His boyfriend chuckled and then said. “You could apply to University of Manchester. So, you can stay in the city, but be in a different university to your brothers.”
Cody rolled his eyes. “As if that would stop them just turning up on Uni of’s campus,” he grumbled under his breath. He didn’t even think moving to the moon would stop his brothers from turning up to inconvenience him.
Obi-Wan just chuckled to himself as he shook his head, having to admit that going to Uni of would not stop Rex, Fives and Echo from turning up to see Cody. Within three weeks of starting the academic year, they had already worked out what rooms Cody had his seminars in and at what time they finished, so they could stand outside and wait for him. Despite Cody never once showing them his timetable.
After lunch, Cody began looking through some books for information he could add to his dissertation, while Obi-Wan turned his laptop on to work on one of his assignments. At the sound of an exasperated sigh, Cody looked up with one raised eyebrow to find Obi-Wan glaring at his laptop screen. “Problem?” he prompted lightly.
His boyfriend rolled his eyes and stated, “I hate this. We have a dissertation and other essays we need to complete that count towards our final degree. But then we are asked to write a two-thousand-word essay on the skills we have learnt doing our English degree and how those skills can help us in the workplace. While also having to give examples of jobs that use and need those skills.” Obi-Wan growled in frustration, “it is so pointless, but we have to do it otherwise we can be penalised if we don’t. But it’s wasting our time, we have other more important things to do.”
Cody grimaced and then reached out to squeezed Obi-Wan’s hand. “I totally get your frustration. We have been asked to do the exact same thing.”
Obi-Wan just groaned and thunked his head on the table, “I hate this. This is stress I do not need.” Cody smiled to himself and with his free hand, he ran his fingers through Obi-Wan’s hair, gently scratching at his scalp with his nails.
When Obi-Wan had relaxed, Cody recalled the lecture when he had been told about the assignment and how the career’s department guest lecturer and one of his usual history lecturers asked for people to give examples of skills, they had learnt doing their degree. He must have laughed to himself, because Obi-Wan was turning his head, leaving his face resting against the table top, and gave him an unimpressed glare. “Are you laughing at my pain?”
“No,” soothed Cody, brushing the hair out of Obi-Wan’s eyes. “Just remembering what Bly said in our lecture about the skills we have learnt doing a history degree.”
“Care to share? It might help me out,” asked Obi-Wan.
Cody smirked, “we have learnt to deal with emotionally crippling pain.”
There was a pause, and then Obi-Wan was laughing, his shoulders shaking as he lifted his head up from the table and instead rested it against Cody’s shoulder. “Oh, that’s a good one. I wonder if I could get away with using it?” he mused.
“I have no idea. But like you, I am tempted to use it,” stated Cody, happy to see a bit of life back in Obi-Wan’s eyes. There was nothing more depressing that having to complete a pointless assignment when you had a hundred other things to do that actually mattered for your degree.
They made the collective decision to stop working for the rest of the day, they were both mentally tired and decided they could do with a break. So, they found a film to watch, which led to another film, which led to another, until it was time for them to eat dinner. After they had shared the cooking, eaten and then shared the washing up, they decided to have an early night. Seeing as they both had nine am lectures on campus and arranged to meet in the library afterwards before Cody’s meeting with his dissertation supervisor.
As they stretched out on their bed, Cody pulling Obi-Wan to half lay on top of him, their legs tangled together. Despite the early time of the evening, the warmth and the presence of each other led them both to become drowsy and their eyes flickered heavily.
“Good night Cody,” yawned Obi-Wan, his jaw cracking at the force of the yawn.
“G’night Obi. Love you,” Cody breathed out on a sigh, his eyes closing as he felt himself begin to drift.
“Love you Code,” mumbled Obi-Wan as he pressed his face into the crook of Cody’s neck. With his nose pressed into Obi-Wan’s hair, Cody pressed a kiss against Obi-Wan’s forehead and felt a kiss pressed against his neck in return. With a smile on his face, Cody drifted off into sleep, where university stress faded away until it captured his attention tomorrow, but for now, he was able to sleep peacefully with his boyfriend in his arms.
End note:
I would draw the photo of all the boys in their onesies, but alas I cannot draw so let the image live on in our imaginations.
Also I really enjoyed writing this AU, so if anyone wants to see more from it (including Rex, Fives, Echo, Wolffe, Fox and Anakin) let me know!
I went to Manchester Metropolitan University and as I loved it there so much, I chose to make it the setting for my AU for codywanweek. The road, buildings, halls and park are real places at the university and writing this fic has just made me want to go back there. I couldn’t come up with a degree for Cody so I just gave him my degree and dissertation focus (so yes there does exist a 10,000-word dissertation on the treatment of shell shock in WWI). At MMU we did call the University of Manchester Uni of, to differentiate between the two universities.
The Black Death lasagne analogy does actually exist in a historical book somewhere. I didn’t actually read it, but one of my flatmates in first year, who also did history, did. He was revising for one of our exams and he excitedly burst into the shared kitchen, saw me and geeked out over the funny analogy, we laughed about it, about how it was such a random analogy to use. (But after a few years I still remember it, so I guess it’s useful.) But then one of our other flatmates, who wasn’t studying history, turned around and complained at us, because she was in the process of making lasagne for her dinner. So, the reactions to Fox’s gleeful explanation of the analogy are based on truth. Our flatmate didn’t want to eat her dinner because of us. As I was writing this fic, the analogy popped back into my head and I felt it would be such a Fox thing to say.
Cody’s line of “we have learnt to deal with emotionally crippling pain” during a career’s lecture. Is something that I heard said in a career’s lecture I had to sit through in my second year. So again, something else in this fic that is based on truth.

Okay about the whole king and fake concubine thing. My brain read it and I just... What if Anakin was the King, and Cody was the fake concubine. (But like, actually fake no pining.)
Creep/advisor Palpatine has been subtly blocking any promotions of clones, and Anakin is just so fed up with having all this damn paperwork, and the strategy meeting are <i>endless</i>.
So he begs Rex for help, and Rex panics and throws Cody under the bus. Cody has had it up to here with these idiots, but anything to help win this damn war faster.
The thing is though, THE THING IS, Anakin decides they can't tell anybody. Including his Advisor/Older brother/whatever Obi-Wan. Becauae uptight "regulations are there for a reason, Anakin" would totally have a problem with these shenanigans.
So Obi-Wan's commander gets transfered out from under him, and nobody will tell him why. And he's silently fuming about having to waste time at this stupid strategy meeting (him and Cody could come up with better in 10 minutes).
And he walks in, and there's Cody. Dressed like a concubine. Sitting in Anakin's lap (Cody wasn’t thrilled to discover it's a lot easier to whisper ideas like this.)
And now I just want to know your ideas for the whole thing I guess, because you're amazing and all of your work is lovely.
Also I just created a tumblr and am trying to figure this out, sorry for any blunders. Oh, and I need to say Okay for public? I think?
Oooooooooooooh! Obi-Wan is like... a General in Anakin’s army? Maybe THE General, in this au? (Little does Anakin know that Obi-Wan lives on shenanigans of one kind or another...) I am also DELIGHTED by little brother Rex just being like... uh uh uh you should pick Cody. Yes. He can help you with this. :D
Welcome to tumblrhood! I’m so glad to hear from you!
A FEW MORE KING/CONCUBINE ANSWERS BELOW THE CUT
Anonymous said:
Gonna just uhh, throw my hat in for Obikin. lol sorry but yES concubine/consort Anakin. The potential... listen, we all know you like sub!Obi, and just the thought of him being an astounding leader with a steady command, only to melt under Anakin's touch the second they're alone? Anakin placing a discreetly possessive hand on him in public? Obi-Wan breaking down in private for the first time in Anakin's presence, and to his utter shock Anakin is able to pick up the pieces?? Falling in love??? ->
Anonymous said:
-> Anywho, your thoughts-in-tags are TRAPS and I am happy to fall into them lol! Don't mind me, I'll just be imagining for days now xD
itsatrap.png :D A slow-burn where everyone else THINKS they’re already together is one of my favorite things. There’s something so pleasing about the dramatic...irony? Of such a thing. Everyone outside of their relationship making all kinds of assumptions (that they feed) while they slowly get closer....
Anonymous said:
anakin as a clumsy young ruler and Obi-Wan a captain who was forcibly retired for false reasons or purposeful injury by anakins advisor counsel head (palp) but anakin just cannot bear losing him and keeps him as Favorite Concubine and as an advisor but they don't actually have a sexual or romantic relationship bc Anakin thinks Obi-Wan is in love with the new knight captain Cody and Obi-Wan thinks Anakin is in love with his arranged bride Queen Padme (anakin covers for her so she can be w satine)
Anonymous said:
hello 4got to mention satine and padme cannot marry bc it would be seen as taking sides in the War and mandalore is strictly neutral and anakin is cool w bearding because its true love, obviously, and he Understands the tragedy of wanting someone others say you cannot have...
OH PADME/SATINE, love that appearing, that pairing always makes me go all heart-eyes. Anakin pining away while married and also with the person he’s pining for as his head concubine is, really, peak Anakin, too, Force love him. Throwing some hints of Codywan in there, too...? (I’m open to go to ot3 town with this prompt, hmmm)

65
What’s your total AO3 word count?
584,543 (176,175 in 2021 so far!)
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
6 fandoms: Star Wars 🚀, Good Omens, Witcher 🐺, Sleeping Beauty (LOL), Triple Frontier, and Assassin’s Creed
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
how many secrets can you keep? (1484) 🐺
you're my soulmate, put it up my ass (1096) 🐺
moon and old stars (1096) 🚀
to love is to understand (1044) 🐺
shelter you from the storm (961) 🚀
Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
Oooh man you know I used to, each and every one. It got a bit overwhelming when I didn’t do it like every day, but I think I definitely should again.
What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
I don’t do unhappy endings, really, but the one time I tried writing one was this CodyWan reunion turned on its head once
Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?
YES LMAO I love crossovers. I’m working on two super fun kinda-crossovers right now, but my craziest crossover was the Warehouse 13-steampunk-omegaverse-Witcher fic endless wonder that I did for NaNoWriMo 2020! It was so much fun including steampunk and WH13-type jargon. Incredibly indulgent.
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Ehhhhhh. I had this passive aggressive stalker for awhile. And some folks give unsolicited concrit which is hateful, though not hate as it’s traditionally known. Is it so hard to just say you liked it and move on?
Do you write smut? If so what kind?
😜 oh you know.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Once when I was like 13 and still on FFN. They took my Assassins Creed self-insert and literally labeled it as Digimon fic???? It was so weird.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope! Blanket permission tho.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, a few times!! It’s always so fun to collab, and getting in the rhythm of creation with another person is always fun. Being able to personally encourage and be encouraged is special.
What’s your all time favorite ship?
The Razor Crest
What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
Hrrrrrrgh moon and old stars. The Assassin’s Creed wip. The wingfic in my drafts maybe. The poor Tusken Din fic that’s never gotten off the ground maybe. I feel like Sisyphus with cookbook of boba fett honestly.
What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue! Poetic description! Introspection and train of thought to support action! Descriptive imagery and extended metaphors! Encouragement and reassurance! HUMOR!
What are your writing weaknesses?
Keeping momentum, commas, I don’t edit as much as I probably should, I often over-plan and under-deliver, and I tense-switch so fucking much hELP
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
Love it! So long as there’s translations for longer passages, unless the ambiguity of its meaning is intentional. Using bits and pieces of Spanish isn’t going to derail the whole meaning of the fic. Anyone that says otherwise is looking for something to be mad about. Also I’m a conlang whore. I gifted my Hen Linge fic to the conlang supervisor for the Witcher on AO3 because my balls are thick and heavy.
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Maximum Ride 😱
What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
moments before the wind was my favorite experience writing. I researched genre conventions I’d never used before and followed a story structure I was unfamiliar with, I pulled a very important through-line for the whole thing, I loved the entire concept through and through, and it’s my longest work to date. Good GOD am I proud of this fic. I respected Tuskens, worldbuilt like a motherfucker, created a villain and then defeated it, got to be creepy and goopy and scary, and then wash it all off at the end of the day! I love that fic so fuckin much.
Full-pressure tagging anyone who wants, AS LONG AS YOU PLEASE MAKE YOUR OWN POST AND DO NOT REBLOG THIS ONE 🤪
#tag game#fic writer interview#I’m doing a separate one for my sideblog#this was fun! thanks for letting me brag!!!

EMIMH12, here
1, 5, 8, 11, and 20 for the asks!
(For Star Wars or Clone Wars preferably!)
Thanks and sure, no problem!! 😁
1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?*
I don't think there are any that I just flat out don't get. I can see the appeal for most of them. Probably the one that mystifies me the most is Blyla, but I think that one was fleshed out in a comic, so that's why I don't quite get it. But a Jedi and their clone commander is also just a pairing that "makes sense" in general. 🤷♂️
5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
Not really; I haven't been in this fandom for more than a few months now, so I haven't gotten to see its ugly side (and when I get glimpses, I just click away). I do know some people are squeamish about master/apprentice relationships, and it had never occurred to me before seeing that general opinion that there was anything wrong those pairings, so long as everyone was an adult. But I don't ship any anyway, so. 🤷♂️
8. Have you received anon hate? What about?*
For Star Wars/The Clone Wars? Nope! Seems like a pretty chill fandom?
11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?
Yes I really like Trace and Rafa, and was surprised that there are some who really dislike them. I love a good pair of siblings, and I like to see Rafa reluctantly doing the good thing, even if she’s going to roll her eyes and bitch about it the whole time. 😂
20. What is the purest ship in the fandom?
I meeeean, I think codywan is pretty pure, hahahaha 😂 Their love and respect for one another is pretty much canon, and it's not hard to put your rose-colored glasses on and see a romance blossoming. There's also nothing fandom would consider "problematic," so it's got that going for it, too. Obi-Wan is a kind, compassionate, thoughtful person, and it's clear he sees clones as real people, and he respects and honors them. Cody is mostly a fandom-created character; yeah, he exists in the show, but he's not really fleshed out (not like Rex, for example). But fandom gave him a fantastic personality: duty-driven, honorable, almost patriarchal towards his men. Just an all around good guy. So those two being in love, and tenderly exploring their feelings for each other, especially post-war, is just... *clenches fist*
THANKS!!!!

Top 10 Codywan Fics in no particular order I can’t rank these. They’re all good. AKA fic recs
These are not in order! Just my top ten fics from these hopeless boys.
1. These Things Happen Rating T. Summary: Obi-wan Kenobi keeps promoting Cody. The promotion gets out of hand, and suddenly the balance of the universe shifts into the palm of a very competent, caffeinated man.
Why on the list? Well, first of all I love me a good crack fic that is written nicely and flows well. Also I just? straight up love? the chapter? about Taxes that made me laugh so hard. The relationship Cody has with everyone else in the story is just... good. It’s so good. And the FIRST PART IS A CHAT FIC and im. not gonna lie i'm a sucker for those.
2. httpsCC-2224 (Cody)’s Guide to Obi-Wan Kenobi Rating T. Summary: a collection of one- and two-shots in cody's pov, and his adventures and thoughts on the 212th's general.
Why? So I know this isn’t like HEAVY codywan and I don’t always need it but his fic is really good. There’s some really nice chapters in here and I love just the whole relationship and dynamics between everyone it is so good.
3. Cèile Anam Rating G. Summary: In a universe where sentients can only see in black and white until they meet their soulmates, Jedi are born seeing color. It is said that their souls are bound to the Force and need no one else to complete them.Obi-wan Kenobi, as it so happens, was missing a color.
Why? Because it’s written so beautifully. Cody and Obi-Wan have BARELY INTERACTED YET AND ITS STILL SO GOOD listen. There’s more than just their relationship at play and there’s platonic soulmates TOO. It’s really well written and well- just read it. Please. It’s ongoing!
4. diogenes (what makes a man?) Rating T. Summary: Why does he get a name and I don't?Cody, grappling with identity, purpose, and what it means to be a brother.
Why? It’s a good study on clones. I love the kind of character study aspect and! Ace! Obi! I’m! feeling! the REP. It’s really well written and has a post order 66 aspect of it. There’s also TRANS CLONES and NONBINARY CLONES and ITS *chefs kiss*
5. Take A Chance On Me Rating T. Summary: Eventually five chapters with different stages of Codywan.
Why? Soft, gay yearning? Pining? Kissing for a mission? Teasing vode? what more could you ask for!
6.do you love me Rating T. Summary:In a universe where Mandalore did not become pacifist, where Jango Fett took up the darksaber and the title of Mand'alor and reunited the clans after a last, devastating civil war, there are three Fett children: Cody, Rex, and Boba, with Cody taking up the title as Duke as the eldest. In this same universe, Obi-Wan Kenobi is more involved with his homeworld's politics and government, while still holding a position as a Jedi Knight. Their worlds could not be more different.When Stewjon reaches out to Mandalore for protection from pirates and other thieves, Mandalore agrees, with one condition: clan ties must be made. A member of Stewjon's government must marry Mandalore's Duke.They choose Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Why? I was a bit skeptical at first about this one. I wasn’t too sure how I would feel about an arranged marriage fic. BUT BY GOD IS IT GOOD. THE WAY IT HANDLES MANDALORE AND THE MAUL ARC I JUST UHHHGHHHGHHG its really good. There’s a lot of pining and angst and fluff and it just real good.
7. Will you hold me tight and not let go? Rating E. Summary: "Thank you," he croaks out, wincing at the harsh, broken sound of his voice.He tastes blood in his mouth.Meanwhile, the figure slowly raises their hand, peels off their goggles and--Cody's heart stops.---Cody is abandoned by the squadron on Tattooine as a punishment. He finds more there than just memories.
Why? Well my friends this is post order 66 and it is. GOOD. I love how theres a gentle progression to it. Plus there’s a second part from obi’s perspective. I just. Love me some nice post order 66 fics.
8.Obi-Wan "The Therapist" Kenobi and How He Changed Everything Rating G-T. Summary:
Pushed to and perhaps past his limit, Obi-Wan takes on some "drastic" (read: logical) new views on his beliefs and things start to fall into place from there.Or how the clones get the care they deserve and Obi-Wan accidentally changes the world.
Why? Well actually this is a series! and it is! so good! I love! how much Obi-Wan cares for the men and I love how it plays out. It’s post Umbara and there’s a lot of Appreciating Clone Hours in it.
9.Books and Cherry Blossoms Rating T Summary: Cody definitely didn't expect to meet a gorgeous man in the library, he was fully prepared to silently weep over is due assignments. Apparently seeing someone injure themselves is a great distraction.Maybe the amazing thighs definitely helped.
Why? Gay college students. GAY COLLEGE STUDENTS. Modern au where they’re in college and theyre GAY and brothers will be brothers. Its also ongoing, well written and i just want them to kiss.
10.Say You Won’t Let Go Rated T. Summary: “Get in the smuggling compartment, then,” Cody says. “We’ll be there in a minute.”He’s not moving without a promise.“Cody-” Obi-Wan starts.Cody doesn’t let him finish. “You gonna promise me, Obi? Or are we just going to stand here until the stormtroopers show up?”[aboard the Millennium Falcon, on their way to the Death Star, Obi-Wan makes Cody a promise]
Why? It’s short, yes but this fic is. SOFTE. I love the idea of the fic and it was!!! really nice.

Europa (waking up from a nightmare and the conversation afterwards) and Butterfly Cluster (staying up all night, talking about everything and nothing) seem to mesh really well? So here I am, already back on my bullshit w/ another qp codywan request bc ur just so damn good but i know i already made u write something earlier so its fine to ignore this (its tinker in case you couldnt tell)
Hi Tink! This sounds super wholesome, and you know how much I love writing fluff!
Also I can totally get behind queerplatonic codywan.
Europa fun fact: Europa is the 6th largest moon in the solar system, and has oceans underneath its surface!
Europa prompt: waking up from a nightmare and the conversation afterwards
Butterfly Cluster fun fact: the majority of the stars that make up this cluster are blue!
Butterfly Cluster prompt: staying up all night, talking about everything and nothing
this is very short but i think it is very sweet.
Obi-Wan sat up, gasping for air as he took in his surroundings. He wasn’t trapped in a separatist prison cell. He wasn’t at the temple. He wasn’t on the resolute either.
The ground underneath him was soft, and he turned to see the last embers of a fire dying in the cool air of the night. Around him, his men slept, their helmets off, curled up in various positions. Using whatever sleeping equipment they could gather before the ship crashed and blew up. He sighed and leaned back onto his elbows, watching as the last of the embers flew up towards the sky, twinkling like the stars.
“General?” A voice called from his right.
“Cody.” Obi-Wan said, turning to face him. “Why are you awake?”
“It’s my turn to keep watch, sir.” Cody responded. “Why are you awake?”
Obi-Wan shrugged. “Couldn't sleep, I suppose.” Obi-Wan turned away from him to watch the dwindling light of the fire they had made earlier. He didn’t need to look at Cody’s face to know that the commander wasn’t buying his excuse.
“You should get some more rest, general.” Cody said softly after a moment, moving over to place his hand on Obi-Wan’s shoulder.
“You’ll need your strength.” Obi-Wan smiled softly, looking back up to face him
“I have plenty of strength, thank you very much.” Obi-Wan replied, rolling his eyes.
“And I have rested enough.”
“You sound like General Skywalker.” Cody said after a moment.
“Rex is always telling me about how he has this same kind of conversation with him.”
“Don’t say that.” Obi-Wan groaned and put his head in his hands. He looked back up at Cody.
“Really?”
“Really. Although you do have to wonder where he learned it from...” Cody trailed off with slight smile.
“Ugh, Anakin has always been stubborn.” Obi-Wan said.
“And you aren’t, General?” Cody asked.
“I am not nearly as bad as Anakin, who will refuse help even when it is painfully obvious that he needs it.” Obi-Wan retorted.
“Hmmmm, that sounds like someone else that I know.” Cody said, bringing a hand up to his chin. Obi-Wan rolled his eyes.
“Are all Jedi like this or is it just you two?” Cody asked. Obi-Wan shrugged.
“Only the good ones.” He replied with a smile. And even though his body was still tense from the nightmare, and his hands still shook slightly, it was getting better with each passing moment.
But he didn’t want to talk about it, he didn’t want to think about it. He wanted to talk about anything- everything else. Like what Cody’s plans were after the war ended. How they could help rebuild what was lost. What he was going to do once he was no longer a soldier.
So, they did. And they sat and watched as the last of the embers rose up towards the sky, blending in with the stars and their light from above. It gave Obi-Wan hope, even though he was surrounded by darkness.

Codywan prompt (4/6)
Hello there I’ve been wrestling with this for a while so I’m just gonna dump this out here. Let me know what you think! Written from a promt that SWmoddy released to find a good home!
I make no excuses for this shinanagians.
enjoy.
Cody woke up to three shit eating grin’s and a huge headache.
Cody woke up with the taste of something dead and dry in his mouth, some asshole was slamming the door to the sleeping area, repeatedly. With a tremendous amount of energy Cody pried one of his eyes open, Wolffe stood my the door the bastard smiled happily as he loudly placed a cup of caff down on the crate beside the rack.
“Kote! You said some very interesting things last night. Anything you want to share, with your dear old batchmate?” After a carful moment of deliberation Cody retreated silently to the warmth and darkness of his rack, ignoring Wolffe from the moment. Cody’s addled mind was not quite up to the task of reminding him exactly what exactly Wolffe was so pleased about but he hid anyway.
It did not work as well as he would have liked, as Wolffe made short work out of blanket haven reveling him to the pale light in the barracks. Cody squinted for a short moment before the feeling of an virboblade being shoved though his eye socket forced him to screw them shut and roll over mashing his face into his pillow.
“Soooo,” Wolffe sing songed over Cody mumbled protests. “are you going to tell me that te dajunar is or who I’m helping you get vengeance on? Or are you going to continue to hid in your pillow?” Cody rolled over as the memories of what exactly happened last night crashed into him. So much about forgetting his spiraling feeling for a night. Cody groaned.
“Well that was embarrassing.”
“Yep.”
“and you know now that it’s Kenobi?”
“anyone that speaks Mandalorian knows.”
Cody swore quietly.
“If it helps your not the only one? I mean I’m pretty sure Bly is head over heels for his General.” Wolffe said hesitantly.
“Really?” Cody had to think a moment before connecting Bly to General Vos’s padawan, a young blue twi'lek if Cody remembered. Much calmer then Skywalker if Cody was to judge. Good for Bly, he was always the more quite ones.
Wolffe took Cody’s contemplative silence as encouragement and continued on.
“Yeah, and I’m pretty sure half the shinnies these days come out with a pre-programed hero worship and crush on at least one Jedi.” Wolffe continued picking up steam in his clumsy efforts to make Cody feel better about his plight. “Some of them even have a crush on General Buir!” Wolffe added on, content to throw some shines under the into the airlock for the moment.
Cody tiredly swing his protesting body up before turn to squint blearily up at his brother. “I bet they can keep their mouth shut about it at least.” Before resigning himself to consciousness, and grabbing at the offered caff. He took a long pull from it before caff, which was predictably terrible, before carefully peering around the room which was suspiciously empty except for Wolffe.
Eventually he spoke. “Uh yeah, I don’t think they have your habit of just blurting out there feelings when they are unguarded, but at least Kenobi does not speak Mandalorian. Or at least I don’t think he does.” Wolffe said he was probably suffering under the pressure of keeping his face straight and supressing his more asshole like behaviour for Cody’s sake.
“He would have said something by now if that was the case. I just don’t know what to do Wolffe.” Cody whined. Leaning his head on Wolffe’s side. He was always a tactile person, but felt uncomfortable leaning on the brothers under his command like that. Wolffe was safe though.
Wolffe who was secretly just as tactile as Cody was leaned into it.
“Well Kenobi a good jedi and as choices go I think the Jedi are generally a good choice? I mean its not like your going crazy over some nat born with more evolution then sense?” Wolffe offered hesitantly.
“But he’s my Commanding officer, and he likes women. And every time I do something to distract myself or work my way out of this stupid crush something like this happens and all I think think about is how kind, and strong, and pretty he is. Or his sense of humor of how he makes everything in this war seem to slow down just a touch so its manageable, or how he carefully plans every encounter in this war to limit casualties, or how he takes part of remembrance and then I’m back to square one, staring at his sheebs while he talks to the other generals!.” Cody barfed out into the space between them.
Thankfully Wolffe did not tell Cody it was okay, it wasn’t. Even if Kenobi wanted a relationship with Cody, it would not work, kirff Cody could barely bring himself to call him Kenobi, let alone his name. And Cody was a lot of things, but he does not think that he could bring himself to try and court a superior officer. Or what would happen with the chain of command. Cody was also a better Jedi then to mess up the chain of command with a interpersonal relationship, unlike some other Jedi.
Cody never wanted to compromise the Gar, and was sure Kenobi felt the same, if he felt anything for Cody that was.
Underneath him Cody could feel Wolffe sigh.
“Lek, I can see that. Force knows we don’t need another romantic disaster duo like Amadala and Skywalker. But I don’t think he only like women?” Wolffe trailed off hesitantly “I mean I hear General Buir talk about Kenobi a lot, Apparently he’s considered as kind of orphan linage wise. And the older master like to keep an eye out for him. Apparently Kenobi used to have a thing with General Vos when they were younger? I mean there’s still hope there?” Wolffe trialed off, awkwardly stumbling though a conversation that Cody was reasonably sure he was not expecting.
“That does not actually make it better.” Cody grumbled while straightening himself.
“But now that you know I may need your help.” Cody said thinking of three particular troopers that seemed to be at the heart of everything at the moment.
“Oh?” Wolffe said relaxing into a much more familiar conversation.
“ You know the old stories that Fett used to tell us from Mandalore? The ones about the battling riduur?”
“The ones that fist started adoption? Or the warrior ones?”
“The combat ones, well I think the 212th are trying to encourage Kenobi and I into a relationship to emulate that.”
“Wolffe looked down with an assessing shine in his eye. “I can see it, you would make quite the pair.”
Cody studiously ignored him.
“Waxer found out about my feelings and pulled Boil into it, and the got the entire 212th in on it. And now they won’t stop trying to get us together. If it goes on any longer the generals going to start asking questions, and I you can’t lie to Jedi.”
“Hate to say it Vod’e but I don’t think we will quite be able to get them to stop.” Wolffe said.
“Oh I know that, if they were going to stop it would have happened after the third time I made them run laps in full kit. No I want help discouraging them from there more overt plans.”
“Hmmm, said Wolffe, a interested gleam in his eye.
“That I think we can manage, his face splitting into a grin that would have Waxer quacking in his meddling boots.
____________------------------------------------_____________________
The 212th was getting ready to disembark, Cody was calmly discussing the intake of supplies and munitions with the general, going over everything and making sure there was enough to last the first leg of the campaign before they met up with High General Plo Koon for resupply in above Ondo before starting an attack on Kerkoidia. As part of a push towards Enarc in order to better fortify Naboo.
The orders did not make much sense to Cody and if Cody did not miss his mark, or the worried fold of skin between Kenobi’s brows, he would guess that Kenobi did not quite understand the logic behind it either. But apparently the chancellor himself asked that the 212th and Obi-wan secure the area around Naboo, which was slowly being encroached on by Separatist[lp1] space. So off the 212th went, to what if history provide true would be a truly awful battle, the 212th always seemed to be in the middle of the worst of the fighting, no matter where they went. I was kind of like the separatists particularly wanted Kenobi dead and were some how tracking him. Not that any of them had succeeded in that effort. But Cody knew most of the seppies generals by sight, which is not something he could say for the High Generals he served under. It was kind of depressing honestly.
Cody was in a conversation with the General when it happened. Kenobi was the first one to notice it, as he trailed off in the middle of a sentence and looked around the storage area they were in eyes quizzically bouncing from trooper to trooper. When Obi-wan he folded his hands in front of him and did what the 212th called the Jedi sense beard stroke.
“Sir?” Cody asked looking around at his brothers who were moving much more stiffly then they were before, while they continued loading up the star destroyer. Every so often one of them would twitch with apparent frustration. Catching up to what may be happening, Cody wasted no time, in changing his in buy’ce comm off the locked command frequency and was immediately bombarded with a cheery jingly of
Bic ni skana’din tion'tuur te dajun at gotal'ur mhi a tom'adat. ibic cuyir a mirsh'nyn. Kaysh Ru'kel cuyir a Mandokarla riduur.
Followed by a loop of What’s new Tooka kit. Before it was interrupted by the same message. As Cody switched the com back to the command channels he was glad his helmet hid his spiteful grin. At the spike of emotion from him Kenobi turned to him with an eyebrow raised.
Cody always forgot the whole sensing emotions bit with the Jedi.
Cody did his best to project a calm and satisfied feeling, while smiling under his bucket.
Kenobi’s lip slanted into a slash of a smile before turning back to the reports.
“I trust that everything is under control Commander.” Kenobis eyes darted to the variety of annoyed and frustrated troopers.
“Of course sir.”
In the back ground on of the troops stopped what he was doing and took off his bucket, Cody quietly pressed the button on a small remote in his pocket. Over the ship wide intercom, What’s new Tooka Kit wailed.
Kenobi face was carefully composed as he looked down, face twitching a bit as What’s New Tooka Kit looped for the 7th time.
“I trust the speakers in our office are turned off?” Kenobi asked façade cracking just a little, as the skin around his eyes crinkled in amusement.
“Yes sir, the malfunction seems to be concentrated around the troopers barracks rec centers, but has seemed to spare our office and the war room.”
“So long as it is handled before we disembark tomorrow it should be just fine.”
“As you say sir, I’ll meet you in the office?”
Kenobi gave him a clap on the shoulder and then wandered towards there shared working space. Cody stayed behind reviling in his brothers annoyance.
Cody could have swore he say Kenobi’s ears turn pink when Bic ni skana’din tion'tuur te dajun at gotal'ur mhi a tom'adat. ibic cuyir a mirsh'nyn. Kaysh Ru'kel cuyir a Mandokarla riduur. Intrupted the loop.
It was probably the contained amusement Cody went back to watching his brothers turned betrayed faces towards him and gave them his best smile.
It was a good day.
Thanks for reading!

1, 3, 4, 5, 6?
1. Jedi or Sith?
Jedi! I really do love the Jedi order and all of its members (except for bastard Krell). The Jedi order had its flaws, but I ultimately think it deserves more respect and appreciation than it gets from the fandom. The Jedi are kind and compassionate, though not immune to the flaws of having emotions and negative experiences or thoughts. They are raised to be careful and disciplined, for both themselves and others so they don’t lose control of their abilities and can act as the peacekeepers they are. Ultimately, Palpatine’s manipulations won and they were massacred, many falling for the groundworks of his lies afterwards to frame them as the bad guys, and no one could fight back against that for the longest time until the Rebellion started. And even then, no one really saw them the same ever again.
3. Favorite character from the Prequels?
My favorite character from the prequels is, to nobody’s overwhelming surprise, Obi-Wan Kenobi. With his snark, self-sacrificial nature, and absolutely dashing haircut in TCW and RotS, he was absolutely the one I zeroed in on in my first watch of the prequels. I find him pretty relatable, with the emotional deflection he most likely goes through on an hourly basis, not confronting his own feelings and instead using sass as a metaphorical shield. He also deals with Anakin Skywalker comming him every other minute for problems, and who hasn’t had to deal with that before? Cody is my second fave, and I absolutely reserve my right to put him here because (even if it was for Order 66 :,) ) And I include all of the clones in the third slot, because I love all of the troopers so much, they deserve so much happiness.
4. Favorite character from the original trilogy?
My favorite character from the original trilogy is Leia, in all of her blaster-wielding glory. She just gets busted out of her cell and starts fighting??? Like, that’s amazing and I adore her! Leading the Rebellion?? Continuing to lead the Resistance?? I respect her so much, as well as Carrie Fisher.
5. Favorite character from the sequel trilogy?
My favorite character from the sequel trilogy is Finn, who absolutely 100% deserved better than what he got. Given, I only remember The Force Awakens, semi-remember The Last Jedi, and I actually haven’t seen Rise of Skywalker, only read about it, but Finn should’ve wielded a lightsaber more, started a Trooper revolution, and married his pilot boyfriend.
6. Do you have any ships?
I have several ships, most from the Clone Wars, which are Vox (Quinlan Vos/Fox), Codywan (Cody/Obi-Wan), Quinobi or Quinwan (Quinlan Vos/Obi-Wan), and Rexobi (Rex/Obi-Wan). I think Anidala is cute, and Obitine is fun, but my heart goes out to also making Cody happy. You can probably also tell I enjoy having battle couples because I love scenes where they banter with each other while fighting off their enemies.
(I’m so sorry, I really went off here, huh? But thank you for the ask!! I appreciate it!)
