Hello, ive been looking for a fic and haven't found it yet, ive read it a few years ago, and what I remember most about it is that I believe is was set during racko hardeen arc or some other situation where obiwan was declared dead, and cody is taking it very hard. He sleeps throught the night in the med bay, and a next day/ scene hes exercising doing a jogging route through the ship and he notices two troopers keeping pace with him stopping when he stops, and recognizes that his men have been taking care of him, following a protocol developed by the clones for helping someone through a loss of a partner/ close friend, of making sure they sleep/ have food/ arnt alone for a long time/ don't have a weapon on themselves etc, and thats all I concretely remember about the fic. It's not much but I hope that its enough to get some help, I would love to read it again, thanks!!
Hi,
I remember this scene, it's from Make your bed (lie in it) by glimmerglanger which unfortunately had been deleted from ao3.
You can still reread it, there are Google Drive links being circulated, the Wayback Machine should work too if you have the link. But since I've offered it before, I'm also happy to provide a copy if you can't find it, just send me a DM
for the anon in my inbox: I'm sorry for the delay, I'm working on a list, but ugh holidays and stuff :)

Summary: When Obi-Wan Kenobi was twelve, he was told he was too angry to ever be a Jedi. He wasnât good enough.
Only weeks later, he offered up his life in exchange for hundreds of others and Qui-Gon Jinn found him worthy.
When Obi-Wan was thirteen, he chose the war-torn streets of Melida/Daan over the orders of Master Jinn, and he ceased being a padawan of the Jedi Order. He resolved the conflict there and then, unsure where else to go, sought out his family on Tatooine.
It was clear he couldnât fit himself back into a life he was taken from as a small child. So, just shy of his fourteenth birthday, Ben Lars presented himself to the AgriCorps.
OR, the one where AgriCorps Specialist Ben Lars is recruited to assist in the settlement of the clone troopers after the war ends.
Hey sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you would possibly know the name of a fic Iâve been looking for for a while? I read it a few years ago and I remember I loved it, it was about Obi-wan and Cody sharing a bed on a mission on a cold planet and them just not stopping sharing a bed, it went on through the whole war, it was also a slow burn, I canât remember much else I just know it was good. Thank you!
Hey, no worries, this is exactly what this blog is for!
I'm fairly sure you're thinking of Make your bed (lie in it) by glimmerglanger which unfortunately had been removed from ao3
To tell you the truth, I feel a little weird about reccing/distributing copies of fics that the author deliberately deleted, I'm not sure whether there's some kind of fandom policy about this...? But I have come across multiple Google Drive links with this author's deleted fics (here on tumblr, and there's also a subreddit dedicated to deleted fics, apparently) so you can find it. (Alternatively, I happen to have a copy of this fic, feel free to message me.)

Summary: Below the observation deck, the Marshal Commander of the Third Systems Army is being divested of his armor and weapons, shackles heavy on his wrists. He doesnât struggle, only a mulish stubborn twist to his jaw showing his displeasure at the situation.
Obi-Wan opens his eyes, steps back from the observation window. âI need a week.â
OR: In which Cody wasnât trained for a Sith sliding into a moral dilemma because of him

Note from submitter: One of the best Sith!Obi-Wan I have ever read.
to speak of previous evenings by the incredible littlekaracan @cillyscribbles herself
It's been my go-to codywan fic since she posted it and I've read it a totally normal amount since then... evidence of this can be observed in the comments of the fic. Mind you I didn't actually leave a comment every time I reread the fic. Sometimes I just chose to bother my super talented friend in her dm'sđŤĄđ
It's by far the fic I've read the most in any fandom I've ever been in and it still makes me feel all sorts of things even after having read it a thousand times by now.

Weâre almost to 100 members in the Codywan Community! All Codywan lovers are welcome! I do have some pending invites out that some folks have not accepted, so if you never received yours check to see if you have the account tumblrbot blocked as thatâs the account that sends the invites. Once it is unblocked I can resend the invite.
Come and join the fun! Just shoot me a DM, an ask, or comment here.
A somewhat inclusive list of Codywan events, collections, and tags for the Codywan newbie--
In honor of @justleaveacommentfest and in light of the fact that thereâs a newer wave of readers, authors, and artists in the codywan fandom, I wanted to highlight some tumblr accounts and AO3 collections and tags where a newer fan can find a ton of works generated by a wide variety of authors and artists, including some of the fandomâs backbone consistently productive authors and artists, as well as genius one-off contributions.Â
There are lots of individual authors and artists on tumblr and AO3 who post in the #codywan on tumblr and in the CC-2224|Cody/Obi-Wan Kenobi tag on AO3, but itâs worth spending time in the different event tags and collections to really get a sense of the full breadth of talent in the fandom. Not all authors and artists post on AO3â so youâre going to want to check tumblr, too, especially for art. Â
This list doesnât recommend particular authors and artistsâ your mileage will vary from othersâ and thatâs totally fineâ so you will want to take the time to follow the tumblrs of the authors and artists you like to see who they reblog, and look at those same author & artistsâ AO3 bookmarks. Following and reblogging your favorites, and commenting on AO3 posted works are the surest ways to keep those folks going. Â
I do recommend starting with checking out the Codywan Week fills, since itâs a long-running, consistently excellent event with a huge range of contributors. You can do a tag search on AO3, visit their tumblr, or even better, look at their genius Codywan Week-ly Spotlight account on tumblr.
If you want to settle in with a big, long, codywan fic with art, check out the Codywan Big Bang tumblr and the Codywan Big Bang community on AO3, the codywan big bang and cwbb AO3 tags, as well as the Codywan Reverse Bang tags and collection on AO3. Â
If you want shorter fics, check out the bingo, exchange, and AU collections. There are definitely server and gift exchange events that Iâve missed here, and Iâd love it if folks would reblog with additional links.Â

Order 63 (for all your wlw/sapphic Rule 63 Codywan needs)
Finally, some advice: Youâre on the Internet and have created accounts with tumblr and AO3 that require you to certify that youâre old enough to follow those sitesâ terms and conditions, and that you know how to behave like a civil, mature person on the Internet, so ⌠donât be a dick. Authors and artists are people like you at all ages, abilities, and stages of life. Some are under 18, some are in college and university, some are disabled, some are working full time, some have kids or run pet shelters or are doctors or eldercare volunteers or are just Going Through It. They're creating fanworks in their spare time, for free, and sharing it for others' enjoyment.
@justleaveacommentfest has a lot of great advice on how to leave a comment, but I promise-- a keysmash is as welcome as an essay.
What does "don't be a dick" mean? Donât reblog something just to neg it. Donât comment on something just to offer unsolicited criticism. Donât act overly familiar and make sarcastic âjokesâ to a stranger whoâs going to have no idea how to take it. Just play it straight even if you're not usually inclined that way (the only time I would ever offer this advice) and say what you liked and enjoyedâ or say nothing at all. Your grandma wasnât wrong about what to do âif you canât say something nice.â There were amazing authors and artists who've left the fandom and deleted their work because some "fans" were entitled assholes, and fandom is poorer for their loss.
If you donât like a fic or a piece of art, no one's holding a deece to your head, so move on. If you really donât like an author or artist's takes, block them and keep them off your dash and out of your searches. Anything else would leave both Marshal Commander Cody and Master Kenobi very disappointed in you.Â
Now go forth and enjoy, and may the Force be with you!
Reblogging this roundup of links to AO3 collections and Codywan event blogs here on tumblr, since I have seen lots of newer folks looking for fic recs or ways to get started. Enjoy!
"Vokara speaks before he can. âI didnât come here for your permission. I donât need it. I am a Master Healer, and it is my right to take an apprentice.â
âAnd you want Obi-Wan Kenobi?â Master Windu asks.
âYes,â Vokara answers."
-Love heals all wounds (so they say) by K_R_Closson
This is one of my favorite Star Wars fics.
The impact a simple yes has is just...ahh. a take on the legends/sorta cannon that obi-wan wasn't entirely begged for by qui-gon, and so Vokara Che, the head Healer steps in, and apprentices him herself. It does a fantastic job of staying true to Obi-wan as a person while adapting circumstances and situations.
Bonus points for being Codywan too!
Incredibly well written, incredibly well handled and I highly recommend it.
Hiii! I hope you're having a great day đ I love your blog, you were one of the first I followed when I joined the Star Wars fandom last year. I've recently started reading more fanfic as well, but the vast amount is a bit overwhelming. Would you happen to have any recommendations for me? I'm open to reading anything and any/all ships. I guess I'm very interested on reading more about the clones and/or about Mandalorian culture, maybe about the clones & Jedi, or about Jedi/Mandalorian relationships (as a culture not necessarily as ships I mean). Also if you have any time travel or social media fics recommendations I always especially enjoy those. Feel free to ignore this ask entirely, or to ignore what I say and just point me towards your favourites or your recent reads or whatever you would like to share. Thank you! đ
Hello!! Thank you!!! I hope you're having a great day too!!! I am flattered you've thought to ask me but I am perhaps not the best fit to give you fic recs haha!! I'm extremely picky and pretty much the only Star Wars fics I read are codywan- ones that are sweet (optionally also smutty), usually short, and have a very particular vibe.
I really only have one fic rec for you: come down from your mountain by @stormwarnings
Author's summary:
Fox finally settles on something close enough to all of those, but just a step to the right. âAre they usually like that? Unnerving?"
âAlways,â Gree says, those eyes that never miss a single detail. âEvery single one of them.â
(Seven clone commanders gathering for a drink, and their reflections on war, love, and Jedi.)
That's obviously not an adequate amount of recs so I need to outsource. Anyone reading this, please reblog or comment with a link to your favorite fic(s) that fit anon's needs!!
I know I could just send you my faves, unrelated to what you asked for, as you said I could... but it disgruntles me when I ask for recs for a specific thing I'm craving and none of the recs hit the spot so I don't want to knowingly do that to you haha
(Anon, if would like to research Mandalorian and clone lore, @fox-trot does great lore posts)
(also @ficfinder-general your help in reblogging this would be much appreciated!)
I am reblogging this again (tbh I wasn't going to because I don't really have the time to read right now, and usually I go out of my way to find at least a couple of new fics every time, but I do have a few recs in tally that could hit the right spot. But yeah, this list is gonna be lacking... Sorry).
First of all, I second The Legend of Liob, I don't think I've recced it before since it's technically not codywan, but it's sooo wholesome. And yes, fox-trot's research is amazing!!!
I have mentioned in our hearts some ancient song by whimsicalimages (@keensers) before, I feel like it has a place here because the lore is truly amazing. From the same post, there's the shoulder the sky series by Night Fury (@shootingstarpilot), which is ongoing (but updated regurarly!) and it has everything. (Eventually though, because it's quite long, but) there's time travel, wonderful customs and worldbuilding, a deep dive into Obi-Wan's past, and other relationships between clones and Jedi beside codywan.
Everybody Lives - But No One Makes It Out Alive by Anonymous_Radish (log in to see) - This is a Peggy Sue type time travel fic, except Cody and Obi-Wan don't really remember their past lives. 148k atm, also a WIP and truth to be told, I'm not completely up to date, but there's a lot on Mandalorian culture, the author included bits and pieces from Legends and a lot of stuff from fanon.
while the world still turns by GrayBlueGreen - 19k, Force artefact shenanigans send Cody time travelling (sort of The Time Traveller's wife style), he winds up meeting Obi-Wan at different points of his life. I don't know what else to say without spoiling it... Beautiful.
Honestly, clones embracing Mandalorian culture is a pretty common headcanon, I'd argue that it's so widespread that it's harder to pinpoint fics that don't include it at all, so you'll inevitably pick it up as you read.
Editing to add: this tumblr post by @literallyjustanerd isn't quite a social media fic, but I feel like it falls into that category: it's a spreadsheet and it's the cutest thing ever

They are fun! so if you find it easier to listen to your fic and/or are busy atm, travelling, etc or simply like to listen to them for whatever reason, give them a chance in podfic form! They're about 20 minutes each, retelling the same story different perspectives
i heard there was a HUGE outcry for more codywan fic recs...(@tapemonkey21 & @dontbelasagnax lol) so here I am posting another one
As always please mind the tags before diving headfirst into any fic you read and consider sharing your unbridled joy and unhinged thoughts with the writer in the comment section đ
Desert Box by br1ghtmouth | 7k words
With a chip in his head that has already caused the ruin for which he was made, Cody finds his way to Tatooine in the hopes of tending to the painful layers of memories left behind in his own silt.
Facile Felicity by br1ghtmouth | 14k words
Primary functions are supposed to be useful: survive against all odds; shield oneâs battalion; fight until the very last breath. Cody would prefer anything besides the bleeding heart heâs been dealt.
Or: the General makes plans. Cody follows.
Good man of war by scrapathon đ| 16k words
During a medicâs first mission with the 212th, everything goes wrong. In the midst of it all, Cody deals with his growing feelings towards General Kenobi.
Across the path by Threebea O(ThreeBea)| 1k words
Cody is inspecting a cave system. He meets his General.
No. Not his General.
âThe pathway,â Obi-Wan whispered. âI understand now. C-Commander, I owe you an apology. I am not your General.â
But Obi-Wan isn't the only one that has crossed over into his universe.
Safe in hand by Threebea O(ThreeBea) | 11k words
Cody ends up where all griefstricken people on the run end up in the galaxy far, far away. He makes a life for himself looking for scrap in the deserts of Tatooine.
He always did have a knack for finding Kenobi's lightsaber.
in the middle before I knew that I had begun by tenderjockđ| 2k words
Obi-Wan beams at him, feeling unbearably fond. His Cody. His darling. Always looking after him.
Codyâs face is very still, just a few inches above his. Obi-Wan reaches out, touches his scar.
âWhat are you thinking?â he wonders.
OR: as the war stumbles to its end, Obi-Wan is forced to reassess his relationship with his commander.
Floating on a Starless Sea by shadowmaatđ| 2k words
A cave-in leaves Cody trapped and badly injured. With another contingent of droids on the way there isn't time to try and dig him out. Obi-Wan is forced to make a difficult choice.
when the jebwa flower blooms by mxartbotboyđ| 10k words
One year since the end of the war, and Cody still hasnât figured out what to do about Obi-Wan. With Coruscant struggling to make the transition with the New Republic, Cody already has enough on his plate without trying to untangle the knot that is his feelings for the ex-Jedi. Will the tightly twisted flower bud finally bloom?
love without compromise by mxartbotboyđ(ch.1) |
Cody has a panicked moment with his General and reveals more than he means to.
grip my hand through the pain by The_Last_Kenobiđ| 2k words
It's all just happened, and yet Cody cannot stop playing it over and over in his head.
The trek into the hills, the deserted path.
His General standing like a human shield between his battalion and a wall of fire.
Panacea by MissyPup | 4k words
Cody has been falling for his General for two years. Two long, war filled years. But he's been able to stay in control of his feelings by just not acknowledging them.
But having to share a bed with the man he's been daydreaming about for two years makes Cody so tense Obi-Wan decides to give him a massage to help out.
Obi-Wan would certainly be the death of him.
Facula by MissyPup | 5k words
Obi-Wan would only be gone for a few days, Cody could handle that alone. Until his thoughts catch up to him thanks to Beru.
Or: How the Kenobi series should have gone because Cody deserves to be there.
Interrobang by MissyPup | 10k words
âI love you.â Cody blurted out so fast that even he was surprised by it.
Obi-Wan leaned back a bit, enough to touch Codyâs cheek and grin, âI love you too, Cody.â
âKeeping this a secret is hard.â Cody admitted, reaching up to grip Obi-Wanâs robes again. âBut I know what would happen if anyone found out⌠Kriff, Rex found out on his own and I thought I was going to-â

Or: five times Obi-Wan has handed Cody his lightsaber and one time Cody handed Obi-Wan his lightsaber
A Hush Sublime by catboydogma | 10k words
When Master Qui-Gon died, Obi-Wan had known him for half his life. He thoughtâsometimes, distantly, like the artificial Coruscanti sunlightâthat he should have told Qui-Gon more often. They hadnât needed words in living: Qui-Gon was a man of action more than anything else, and they both had difficulties in unspooling the thick vines of feeling inside their chests enough to speak of them. Obi-Wan had loved Qui-Gon. Heâd thought, more than once, that that adoring love, of the Initiate that Obi-Wan still was at heart, had been a sign of a terrible and thorny attachment.
that is that + this is this by catboydogmađ| 8k words
âHere. Drink, Cody. Come on. Donât die on me now, not when you went to all the trouble to get out here.â
âDidnât know,â Cody rasped.
âSo I shouldnât be expecting a cavalcade of Imperial stormtroopers to show up here, then?â The man asked, bland as anything.
The Commander gave this the consideration it was due. âNo.â âForgive me if I donât immediately believe you.â The manâs voice sharpened, but his grip on the Commander stayed gentle, supporting his head even when it lolled back against his will. âWhen have I ever let you down?â Cody asked.
The manâs breathing hitched. He set Cody back down against the blankets and retreated to his spot several feet away, blaster and charge pack between the two of them like some strange barrier. âWhen you killed me,â the man said.
repeat, replay, return by Serie11đ| 3k words
The last time he saw his General, Cody was ordering him shot off a cliff.
Ten years later, and Obi-Wan is in a bacta tank again. Some things, it seems, donât change; Codyâs feelings among them.
all the world in my arms by biscuityskies | 5k words
A brief wry smirk flashes across his face, and as Cody meets his own eyes in the reflection of his drink, it softens. If he had to rationalise it, this anxiety most likely stems from the recent developments with the general.
Something's been off about him ever since he came back from the mission to Kadavo.
Compartment Syndrome by elwenyere | 3k words
Cody was lucky, really, that Obi-Wan had lost consciousness during the crash, because otherwise he would never have gotten away with the tender pressure building in his wrist - much less the lance of pain that sliced across his arm every time he adjusted his Generalâs weight over his shoulder.
I Promise by dontbelasagnaxđ| 6k words
Mace raises an eyebrow almost imperceptibly. He looks over Cody for a solid thirty grueling seconds, evaluating. "Hypothetically," he says in that dry way of his that is nearly impossible to tell whether he's making fun of Cody or teaching him a lesson, "if someone wanted to propose to their partner, they'd bring it up with said partner."
[ OR: Cody has plans. He's going to make a certain Jedi a very happy man. ]
The Lessons Not Yet Learned by meadmeinthemiddle | 23k words
The Force works in mysterious ways. Cody knows this, theoretically, but it all seems so far beyond him that he tends to not pay it any mind.
Little does Cody know, the Force has its claws buried deeper into him than he can possibly imagine - he just hasn't realized it yet.
: (Is to) :: (As) by TamerLorika | 12k words
Cody notices that Kenobi's regard for himself is always clinical and utilitarian. As he ponders a way to break the stalemate, he begins to learn more about the lightsaber that is so often in his hands, and how it relates to the subject of Kenobi's own soul.
for you, only you by dontbelasagnax | 11k words
âWhat's next for you, my dear, now that youâre a citizen of the Republic?â Obi-Wan tilts his head, expression alight and imploring. âYou could get a job and find a place of your own amongst the many levels of Coruscant- or the stars.â

my favorite thing about this post is that a handful of people have gone "oh wait! this is tangible proof that i don't need to be embarrassed about leaving a lot of comments!! i'll stop being so ashamed!" YES!! ao3 authors basically universally will die for people who comment spam. we love to see it and we do not find you weird or annoying At All.
think about it this way: we ourselves are weird enough to have spent several hours, days, or Months writing down this story. we are weird enough about the content to do that! why on Earth would we be mean and judgmental toward people who care enough to get excited about reading it?? we shared it Specifically For You To Get Excited About!
