Tiny announcement: my one-year writing anniversary is coming up, so I've opened a Q&A and prompt event over here!
Hey, I'm Ann! I write (and read) Obikin in my free time, though honestly, they're on my mind all the time. I love chatting with others and hearing what people think, so don't hesitate to send me a message.
my writing * my thoughts * thank you artists
I also finally realized it was time to make a proper masterpost, so now everything I've written is in one place for you to explore.
Thank you so much for reading and sticking around <3.
Part 1 What We Do in the Dark: The war rages on, but in the space between battles, a Jedi and a Sith find solace in each other's arms. It's wrong on every level that matters, and yet Obi-Wan can't stop asking the same impossible question: Can you fuck a Sith back to the light?
(WIP) When Foolish Hearts Collide series
Unofficially titled "Baby Sith Anakin" in my drafts.
Part 2 Made and Unmade by You: In a blood-soaked canyon on a forgotten world, Obi-Wan learns just how far Anakin will go for him. There's devotion, and then there's whatever this isāsomething darker, more consuming, and absolutely inevitable.
Part 3 What We Don't Say: Exhausted and guilt-ridden, Obi-Wan seeks refuge in a lower-level diner. Anakin finds him there, and over Shilian stew and casual conversation, rare vulnerabilities surface. For a few hours, they can pretend the war doesn't exist and the lies between them don't matter.
Part 4 Held Between Breaths: Obi-Wan tells himself he's on a mission. He tells himself he's gathering intelligence. He tells himself a lot of things that stop mattering the moment Anakin smiles at him across a crowded race track.
Part 5 Never Again, Except Always: Anakin has been careful to keep his encounters with Obi-Wan secret, but secrets have a way of surfacing. When Palpatine confronts him about his affair with the Jedi Master, Anakin is forced to examine what's real and what's been an elaborate lie.

The Kenobi-Skywalker Situation: When Darth Vaderās weekly lightsaber duels with Obi-Wan Kenobi start to feel more like therapy sessions, something has gone terribly wrongāor terribly right. Watch the Dark Lord of the Sith grapple with his greatest enemies yet: household chores, expired coupons, and the horrifying truth that Obi-Wan makes terrible tea but somehow perfect blue milk pancakes.
A comedy about finding yourself, healing old wounds, and the surprising difficulty of defeating an evil emperor when youāre arguing about whose turn it is to do the laundry.
Unsent, Unsaid, Unreadable: Anakin has been texting someone he's never met. Someone who gets his jokes, understands his fears, doesn't judge him for caring too much. Someone he's maybe falling for. What he doesn't know is that the person on the other end of those messages is Obi-Wan Kenobi.
What Obi-Wan doesn't know is that his mystery contactāthe one person he can be completely honest withāis his former Padawan. They're going to find out eventually.
(WIP) Something Irreversible About June: It starts, as most of Obi-Wan's problems do, with Quinlan. The stream is already running when he finds it. The young man on screen is lean and golden and so thoroughly comfortable in his own body that Obi-Wan forgets for a moment that he is a middle-aged divorced man with a respectable job and better judgment than this.
Then the streamer turns around. Obi-Wan has three seconds of completely empty silence in his own head before it lands: Anakin. His son's best friend.
He closes the laptop with more force than necessary. Opens it the following night with less dignity than he'd like. Tells himself it's fineātells himself this several more times, until Cal calls and asks if Anakin can stay for the summer. He says yes. He was always going to say yes. That's rather the problem.

To Be Held by the Sea: In waters where ships go to die, a battle-hardened sea captain meets a siren unlike any in the legends.
Touching the Divine: Some prayers are spoken in temple halls. Others are gasped against sweat-slicked skin. When the Temple's greatest skeptic unknowingly takes a God to bed, he discovers that the most profound acts of worship happen in the dark.
Behind the Camera: The glamorous world of Hollywood hides dark secrets, and Anakin has become trapped in a web of abuse and control orchestrated by his powerful manager. His only lifeline is Obi-Wan, his bodyguard, who sees through the industry's lies to the broken person beneath.
Eternity in Your Arms: In the quiet eternity of the Force, Anakin and Obi-Wan finally have the conversationāand the touchāthey were denied in life.
How the Dawn Tastes: Anakin sleeps like a work of art in the morning sun, and Obi-Wan cannot resist the urge to worship him with lips and tongue and gentle hands. A meditation on devotion.
Between Games: The world championship finals are the biggest stage in League of Legends esports, and Anakin is cracking under the pressure. When his gameplay costs them game one, support player Obi-Wan helps him find a different kind of release between matches.
Beautiful Little Troublemaker: Suburban life is peaceful until Anakin's mischievous cat leads to an embarrassing misunderstanding with his attractive neighbor. Turns out calling someone a "beautiful little troublemaker" can lead to interesting conversations.
Blood on His Hands: Obi-Wan Kenobi begins each day with a kiss and ends each night with an execution. In between, he keeps a galaxy runningāprecise, orderly, and cold.
A Lifetime of Small Kisses: Love takes many forms across a lifetime. Or, five times Obi-Wan kisses Anakin, and one time he kisses Darth Vader.
Soft Mornings, Fevered Nights: "I want you to choke me with the Force." The words hang between them like a confession, and Anakin looks at him like he's suggested something monstrous. Maybe he has. Maybe that's exactly what he wants.
Allās Fair in Love and Laser Tag: Obi-Wan knows three things: Leia is deadly accurate, Luke is enthusiastic, and Anakin plays dirty. The laser tag arena will never be the same.
How to Care for Your Werewolf: It should be straightforward: patch up the injured wolf, post some flyers, reunite it with its owner. Except no one comes forward, and Obi-Wan can't bring himself to hand it over to a shelter. So he brings it home instead. They fall into routines together. They get attached. And then Obi-Wan wakes up one morning to discover his patient has been keeping a secret.
And Still, He Loves Him: After his death on the Death Star, Obi-Wan's Force ghost remains bound to the man beneath the armor, following Vader across the galaxy like a shadow. In life, he loved Anakin Skywalker. In death, he cannot stop.
If Love Was Evidence: Two months after Senator PadmĆ© Amidalaās sudden death, detectives arrive to question her grieving husband. Anakin is just trying to hold his family togetherāwith Obi-Wanās help. But the detectives start noticing things he doesnāt.
The Sweetness on His Lips: Some might call it manipulation, but Anakin prefers to think of it as creative problem-solving. When your Master won't take a hint, sometimes you have to make yourself impossible to ignore.
The Temple Has Ghosts (Theyāre Dating): Luke is glad, really, when his father and Obi-Wan appear in the reconstructed Temple. After everythingāthe Empire, the losses, the long years of lonelinessāhaving them here, even as Force ghosts, is a comfort. What he's not prepared for is witnessing them act like two besotted fools.
The Nicest Disaster of the Year: Every year, a Jedi Master volunteers to play Santa for the younglings. This year, it's Obi-Wan's turn. What he doesn't expect is for Anakin to sit on his lap and confess his feelings for someoneāsomeone who sounds suspiciously familiar. Someone who might be wearing a red suit and fake beard right at this moment.
The Morning After: Obi-Wan wakes up married. This would be alarming enough on its own, but the fact that his husband is Anakin Skywalkerāand that neither of them can quite remember how it happenedāpresents certain complications. Then again, maybe some mistakes aren't mistakes at all.
Just for Tonight (Again): It's not supposed to be like thisādesperate and guilty and so fucking good that neither of them can quit. Obi-Wan raised PadmĆ©. He loves her. But he can't stop sleeping with her husband.
The Worst Wingman in the Galaxy: Obi-Wan has a plan. A good plan. A romantic plan involving rose petals and chocolates and finallyāfinallyātelling Anakin how he feels. What he doesn't account for is R2-D2's apparent determination to prevent this confession at all costs. Turns out some droids just want to watch the galaxy burn.
Hell Tastes Sweet: A demon kneels in the confessional and Obi-Wan thinks: this is the oldest story. Temptation wearing a beautiful face, saying true things in a warm voice, waiting to see if a man of faith will hold or crack.
He holds. He holds. He holds. He doesn't hold.

Seating Arrangements: There's nothing in the Jedi Code that explicitly prohibits a Knight from sitting on his former Master's lap during official proceedings. Technically speaking.
Too Close to the Sun: It's just a sunburn. And aloe. And Anakinās hands. And the growing ache of wanting something Obi-Wan knows he shouldn't.
The Clumsy Art of Falling in Love: At sixteen, Anakin and Obi-Wan are still figuring out lightsaber forms, meditation techniques, and the Jedi Code. What they definitely weren't prepared for was figuring out how to kiss without bumping noses. Some lessons aren't taught in the Temple halls.
Where the Braid Once Fell: The lightsaber falls silent, and the braid is cut. Newly knighted Obi-Wan grapples with losing his formal bond to Master Anakin while finally gaining the freedom to act on long-suppressed feelings.

The boys get stuck in an elevator: ao3 is down tomorrow and i think we should all write ficlets to post on tumblr where obi-wan&anakin/obikin encounter and cope with a technological outage like comms being down or power going out or they've been tapped to go on a meditation camping retreat and were not allowed to bring their datapads with them.
Bunnywan: Obi-wan gets turned into a bunny. April special.
