Posting this because of the prev post, but I've had this headcanon in a while.
Imagine Cody during the Solitary Clone ep; he's ordered his general (a man he trusted, a man he loved; he painted his armour grey in mourning, his has tears on his bucket) shot down. He lost his battalion, his men. He's leading children into battle, brothers that have barely left Kamino, that have never earned their paint and probably never will. He is a good soldier, he follows orders, but what he does... General Kenobi would have never ordered him to do that. There is blood on his hands, the blood of innocents and no pragmatism, not practicality, no war tactics can explain it. The Jedi were slaughtered in their Temple, even the younglings. And his brothers did it. Under his orders. He is sent to cull rebellions and kill dissidents, or are they just terrified civilians?
And then the mission with Crosshair. He tries, as much as he can, to be kind where he can. The droids feel good to crush. And to negotiate for peace- He feels the ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi by his shoulder, his voice in his ear. And then she's ordered dead, Crosshair follows orders, and Cody can do nothing but look as she drops dead.
He stands in front of the memorial for his lost brothers, knowing the brothers he lost on the mission won't be added, because the Empire wouldn't spare a credit on it, and he thinks- what makes us different from droids. We make our own choices and we live with them too (unbeknownst to him, deep in his brain, a chip is eroding, the codes breaking down).
Cody deserts. He drifts. He bombs imperial posts and he tries to snap brothers out of it, but mostly, he drifts. He doesn't join the budding Rebellion, has no reason to (he doesn't know Rex survived; he learned about the helmets of the 332nd, but he knows if someone had survived that wreck, it would be a Jedi; and he doesn't want to see Ahsoka, can't bear to look her in the eye and tell her he killed her grandmaster. He thinks she might kill him; he thinks she'd be right).
Ten years. He's had to live with his choices for ten years; he still doesn't know why he did it. He would have thought himself better than this, he'd always thought himself better than this. He doesn't know why he turned his back on Obi-Wan Kenobi, why he corrupted everything he'd ever stood for. He wonders what kind of man that makes him, to follow orders blindly; it's worse, he thinks, than if he were a droid. A droid can only ever do what its told. Despite what the natborns think, he (all of them) has never been a droid. He knows better. He should have- Regrets choke him. But he lives with them. Because he refuses to be cowardly and not face his own actions. Obi-Wan Kenobi deserves better. He always did; all the Jedi did.
Ten years. And then he sees a Wanted poster for Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan Kenobi, alive. After ten years. After Cody betrayed him and shot him down.
He spends close to a year searching every nook and cranny, uncovering every stone (if he slinks back into Coruscant and breaks into a certain Senator's penthouse to riffle through his things, then no camera can prove it).
He ends up on Tatooine. It is dry and dusty and hot. Ben Kenobi is the name of a hermit wizard living in the Wastes. Cody wants to strangle him.
He goes through the Wastes, finds the Hut. Obi-Wan Kenobi walks out. His hair is whiter than it was, his skin darkened and reddened by the sun. He looks older, sadder, but he still stands strong. His 'saber is unlit in his hand.
Cody stays. He doesn't have an explanation for what he's done (he never has and he never will; he doesn't know about the chip. Obi-Wan doesn't know about the chip). He's had to live with it, and now, Obi-Wan has to as well.
He knows Cody betrayed him, shot him. He knows Cody spent the last eleven years regretting it. He looks into worn eyes, greying hair, new scars and wrinkles, and although Cody shot him in the back, he opens his home to him.
Cody never forgives himself.
Obi-Wan learns, slowly, to trust Cody again. It is painful to live with the man who betrayed you. It is beautiful to live with the man you've loved for longer than you've known him. Some days, Cody's hands shake; some days, Obi-Wan can't even look him in the eye. Some days, they spend the day in bed, clothed or naked, cold in the night, hot in the day, and they are simply grateful to the Force that, despite it all, they get to have this.
(Cody will die, eventually, his fast-aging catching up to him, and Obi-Wan will shed tears he shouldn't waste. Neither of them will ever learn about the chip; rather, they learned to live with it, learned to live together, to forgive and love despite it all. Obi-Wan will die on the Death Star, facing his former apprentice, saving his Luke and Leia, his hope. And despite the fact that he always thought he was meant for infinite sadness, Obi-Wan Kenobi did manage to carve out some happiness for himself. It wasn't perfect; it ended, as all things do, in tears and death. But for a while, it was beautiful. It was cold cups of tea and caf in the morning; broad, tanned, scarred hand brushing his hair away, arranging his robes and fixing the vaporator; dark hair turning grey; dark eyes shining with kindness and love and stoicism; a smile, rare and all the more beautiful for it, shining brighter than the suns. It was Cody, despite betrayal, Cody with betrayal, who, unlike everyone else, came back to him after he left. It was Cody, whom he'd joined in the first.)

I surprised myself with how much I wrote for the COD Big Bang 2025! I'm so delighted with my story and the illustrations that my partner FaoIsGone (catch them on Bluesky, Ao3 & Twitter) created!
If it piques your interest - you can find it here:
As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.
I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.
I've filed a DCMA takedown notice but the person who put this dataset together filed a counter notice and said - 13 days ago - that they expect the dataset to be restored in 10-14 business days.
I'd like for that not to happen, so if anyone wants my help in putting together a DCMA takedown notice about their own fics being in this dataset please let me know
Okay not to spam with Etsy shop updates too much ahaha, but I also made some Codywan lanyards, and got them in yesterday! And the aurebesh says Codywan, idea as per @bitwhizzle 🧡🧡🧡 I hope you guys like them! 🥺 They aren't available yet but they will be soon!
