@nieithryn (Cody)

Mos Espa was as busy as always. Beings from all over the galaxy came together for various reasons. Some innocent, but most not so much. It was almost comical how Ben tried his hardest to keep a low profile, and yet each time he heard talks about a new kind of depravity, he couldn't help but to listen in. It was none of his business, the galaxy wasn't his to defend anymore, and yet...

Usually one to stay out of the dangerous, shady side alleys in the spaceport settlement, he found himself trailing two masked men who clearly worked for the Hutts. In a way, eavesdropping was the only way for Ben to hear any kind of news about the galaxy's happenings beyond Tatooine.

They discussed spice shipments, and Ben lost interest. He came to a halt inside the alley, wondering what he was doing. Even after a decade of quiet solitude, he couldn't quell his nature. He ought to leave the alley and return to the main market street, because remaining where he was, was just begging for a robbery.

IF THE NEW captain had any reservations about his mid combat promotion, he didn't show it. keeli was a good man, & howzer would mourn him later. there would be a time for him to feel the loss of a brother, but for now, he needs to be a solider - a leader. there's a moment to breathe after the 212th arrived, & he's taken to speaking to what remains of his own men: rally the troops, as keeli would have. as the commander of the 212th approaches, he snaps to attention.

" commander on deck! " he calls to his men, who follow his actions as he salutes the higher ranking officer.

@nieithryn // s.c. // for cody!

"i'm in over my head, i can't catch my breath." it's the kind of thing that obi-wan would typically NEVER admit to, not aloud at least. perhaps to himself, perhaps alone with his thoughts he might admit to himself when he was sinking. but never aloud-- never to another person.

but then, this wasn't just ANYONE was it? this was someone he trusted-- someone he put so much faith into. someone he couldn't imagine fighting this war, being without. perhaps, in actuality, his truth was SAFE right here.

hand comes up, rubbing at eyes and the knight gives a long, exhausted sigh into the dead of night.

"i'm sorry. i don't mean to dump on you, cody."

@nieithryn asked for Cody and Braig!

Cody: Welcome, fellow idiots Braig: Hello, Cody Cody: No, no, not you, you're not an idiot Braig: You underestimate me

This can come off as threatening orrr AFFECTIONATE

At the feeling of Cody’s hand on his chin, Obi-Wan reluctantly looked up.  “I’m fine, Cody.  Really.”  He wasn’t fine, but Obi-Wan wasn’t about to admit that.  The war took its toll on everyone and he wasn’t the exception.  That day was particularly brutal, too many lives lost for one small win, and this was even with Obi-Wan tossing himself directly into the line of fire to try to draw blasts away from those under his command.  Obi-Wan was never able to do enough, it seemed.  Nothing he did was ever enough.  

“...I worried you today beyond the normal level again, didn’t I?” he finally conceded.

@nieithryn​ replied to your post “//I actually read Rex’s wookieepedia page yesterday, so I wanted to...”

(My only comment is that Cody and Rex are noted to have been in the same ARC class somewhere, and considering that Cody is actually the head of trained ARC program, I always thought Rex and Cody were trained before Geonosis. That being said, I've always supported the theory that the 501st is a Battalion like the 212th, both under the 7th Sky, and therefore under Obi-Wan and Cody's purviews, which would explain quite a bit -

- especially in relation to how Cody and Rex are not only so close, but why Rex is rubbing elbows with the bigwigs so much: Anakin's position with Obi-Wan gets him better than his rank would normally allow, and Rex's position with Cody does the same for him. Either way tho I love all of this, and this is really well thought out and fit together, the GAR is a messed up thing at the best of times, so coherent theories are hard!)

(Oh, also, I like the idea of there being training and biological differences between CC and CT units, and regs preventing CTs from getting above a certain rank, that makes a lot more sense than the theory I was going with!)

//I really like the idea of them being in the same ARC class. How Cody and Rex were so close was a can of worms that I really didn’t want to open in that post but that just makes sense. ARC training is where things start to get messy because it’s relatively well-defined in Legends and then almost completely neglected in canon. For me, Rex’s relationship with rank is him constantly running into the accepted limits of what a CT unit is supposed to be able to do, so making him an ARC trooper late was an aspect of that. However, it’s also really interesting to me to directly compare a CC unit to a CT unit in ARC class. Maybe he and Cody were in the first class to accept CT units, or maybe Rex was a year/semester/whatever unit of time behind him in the program. Either way, because Rex was a CT unit, he definitely struggled with some of the material, and Cody probably helped him through it.

After all, up until the moment that Rex enters that ARC class, he has standard programming. Sure, he’s proved somehow that he’s smart enough/strong enough/tough enough to be in an ARC program, but biologically he’s exactly the same as any standard trooper, and that comes with some deep-rooted ideas about how much you’re worth to the GAR. I always think of Sinker’s line to Plo about being “just clones.” They know what they are, and I feel like CT units get that a little harder than CC units, who, while expendable, are somewhat less expendable than your run-of-the-mill trooper. And you can work through a lot of that with ARC training, but you can’t work through all of it, and imo there’s always this tiny insecure part of Rex that’s saying that he’s just a clone and that he’s expendable, despite all his training.

And that’s why Umbara hits him so hard, and that’s why he loves Fives so much. Fives either doesn’t have or completely ignores that insecure part of him that comes from his CT background, and he’s able to fight against what Krell is saying despite the fact that it is so dehumanizing. What happened on Umbara is proof to Rex that he is just a clone, that whatever training he gets can only help him so much, that there is a hard biological limit as to how much he can think himself equal to any other sentient being. Dogma could shoot Krell, and Dogma didn’t have ARC training. It’s like the first time you become aware that your perceptions could be fundamentally flawed because you’re human and you’re perceiving things through human senses. At Umbara, Rex sees the hard limits of what his biology and his internalized, habitual belief system can do for him.

(Another line in Umbara that I like to think about is in Carnage, when Krell explains that he’s betraying the Republic because he saw the future and he wanted to be the apprentice of Count Dooku and whatever, and the only response that Rex has is “You’re a Seperatist.” He’s not. Krell’s not a Seperatist! But for Rex, the world is the Republic and the Confederacy, and his education never showed him a different side of any story, ever. So what do we do after the war? When the enemy has been eliminated, when defining myself by the fact that I belong to the Republic doesn’t say anything anymore... what then?)

Anyway.... that was a really long rant. Sorry about that!

❛ Hear this now: I will always come for you. ❜ - itspersonalforus (Thought this sent yesterday...)

Obi-Wan laughed, ignoring the way it made his whole body ache, and allowed Cody to take a little more of his weight. Not that he enjoyed being captured and tortured, but this part was almost kind of nice: his Commander by his side, blaster out, and his former Padawan up ahead, the light of his ‘saber flashing as he cleared the way home.

If it weren’t for the fact that everything hurt like a banthakriffer and there was definitely a visit to the Sith-bedamned medbay in his future, Obi-Wan would say this was the highlight of his day. But no. That would be after he’d engineered his escape from the healers and was back in his own bed. 

This was a close second, though.

“Oh, I never doubted that for a moment, Cody,” Obi-Wan promised, grinning. “But can you really blame me for not enjoying the wait until then?”

throwback to that one time sunny and multiple members of ghost company (along with other clones from 7th sky) were captured by the zygerrian slave empire and had to be rescued but only after months of beatings, labor and malnourishment in an attempt to break them, and cody literally took any punishment the slavers tried to throw on sunny because he is a smol and weak little medic who needs protecting from his vods. aka the pain @nieithryn and i put ourselves through.

so per discussion with @nieithryn, it’s been determined that Siri, Obi-Wan, and Cody are filing for joint parental/grandparental status for Finn. 

congrats Finn you’ve got a family who loves you now. consisting of..............two dead Jedi and a dead clone commander. but y’know what they love you a lot and are very proud of you and think you’re doing amazing. ( or alternately not dead former Jedi and a former clone commander. )

[ neck ] a kiss or gentle sucking on the partner's neck - Also from Cody lol

Daiyu reminded Obi-Wan of Nar Shaddaa. It was equally defined by the various glowing neon signs, illegal activity, an illustrous nightlife and a concerning amount of brothels. Brothels as a general concept were nothing he worried about. What he did worry about was how surprisingly aggressive the beautiful prostitutes were in their attempts to woo customers.

Several had set their sights on Cody, much to Obi-Wan's dismay. Even if they weren't...entangled, Obi-Wan wouldn't want word about Cody being on the planet to spread. No matter where they went, it wasn't safe for a deserter clone, especially not a high-ranked like Cody.

It surely had nothing to do with jealousy. A Jedi was not jealous. But Obi-Wan had lived cut off from the Force and without proper meditation for so long that his feelings had a surprising intensity. There was no way of being mindful of his emotions and to release them into the Force, so they boiled inside him, making him feel confused and overwhelmed.

Before he knew it, he took Cody's hand and moved into a dark, narrow alley with him. "Just a moment, Cody. I think this could help." He was gentle when he opened the collar of Cody's attire. "An unmarked neck shows them that you're here without a partner. They'll leave you be if your neck is marked because they won't bother with someone who already has a lover. Can I do that for you?"

He brushed his bearded jaw along Cody's cheek, giving him a moment to adjust to the feeling of beard against skin. Obi-Wan then kissed along the warm skin on Cody's neck, gentle at first, before he sucked some well-placed love bites along the visible parts of Cody's skin.

[ rain ] a romantic kiss in the rain - From Cody

This moon was utterly beautiful. The fauna was one of Obi-Wan's favourites, with bioluminescent plants that glowed in all shades of blue, orange and pink. The climate was mild, warm almost. The night rain was pouring down on Cody and him as they sat in a meadow, awaiting their rescue shuttle after an unfortunate crash of their ship.

Usually Obi-Wan disliked being muddy, but here alone with Cody, in the soaked grass, beneath the rainy, cloudy sky and surrounded by the lights of the blooming flowers, he couldn't help but to wish Ghost Company may take a tiny bit longer. The war seemed far away, drowned out by the pitter patter of the heavy raindrops and the earthy smell of nature around them.

Cody's presence was a grounding, soothing aura in the Force, orange like the dawn. Obi-Wan was enarmored by his Commander and constantly forced to tuck those feelings far beneath the surface, where they wouldn't ruin a very efficient work relationship as well as a genuine friendship. Not to mention how uncomfortable it would be for his Commander, as the lower ranked in this constellation. They spent most of their time together and it would be cruel to subject his Commander to unwanted, inappropriate advances when afterwards, they'd still be forced to work closely together.

Then why did Cody not lean away when Obi-Wan slowly moved closer until their thighs touched? He sought those beautiful dark eyes, as if asking for permission. Perhaps Cody agreed that this moon was a space of it's own, isolated from the reality around it. Neither rank nor war existed here, it was only the two of them and whatever happened here would remain here, the moon guarding their secret.

Obi-Wan raised a gloved hand and gently brushed his fingers over Cody's jawline. He closed his eyes, leaned in and finally dared to kiss Cody, whose lips were damp from the rain and warm against Obi-Wan's.

Love Aura : blue/purple/pink Blue allows one to be intuitively aligned with another. Purple shows that you love unconditionally, and that you long for spiritual love. Pink depicts a person who is a giver in relationships, and is often taken for granted.

Song : Siúil a Rún (2016) - Celtic Woman Translation: "Come my love". It's a song about a selfless but also sad love. In his life he often gave more love than he received in return. Especially the part "I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel, I'll sell my only spinning wheel. To buy my love a sword of steel." shows that Obi-Wan would do anything for his love at the cost of his own comfort.

Flower: bluebell In the language of flowers, the bluebell is a symbol of humility, constancy, gratitude and everlasting love.

He wasn’t sure whose it was. Might have been his. He had gotten pretty roughed up in that last fight. Might’ve been someone else’s. He’d just been stumbling out of the med tent, weary and light-headed, when he felt a strong hand on his shoulder. He hadn’t even realized he’d lost his balance, but, he must’ve, right? He wiped a hand down his face, grimacing when it came away with streaks of red. So he swallowed back his protests and nodded, letting his head rest listlessly on Cody’s shoulder. 

“Alright. Thank you.”

In spite of everything, he smiles. He hasn’t done that in a while. Not this wide, at least, not this genuine. It feels strange. But he sits, taking a hold of the old man’s hand to pull him back down to the battered couch. 

“As long as I’m not imposing, Cody… I’ll stay as long as you’d like.”
