A piece of the next chapter of kaleidoscope, is under the cut! I’m so stuck on this one for some reason. I know where I want the story to end, but I don’t really have a middle. I need a journey for them to go on. I want to focus on moments of deep thought and tension about their futures as individuals and with one another if that makes sense. Reckoning between their pasts and futures? But also we need PLOT to happen in order move the story yk?????
Advice? Suggestions?
Cody shoveled food into his mouth, abruptly stopped eating. He reminded himself to go slow. There was no need to rush anymore, but it was a hard habit to break. He felt like an old, wet dog. He looked to his left to see Obi-wan finishing heating his own dinner. The match illuminated the calloused pads of his fingers. Cody watched the fire jump, a thought sparked that something would catch aflame.
There was usually silence between him and Obi-wan. Cody wouldn’t bring himself to ask the man he betrayed how he slept the night before. Cody didn’t say much other than what he felt was needed to be said anyway. Obi-wan, he could tell, wanted to break this habit, and was more inclined to conversation.
“What were you here for, before you decided to look for me?”
“Weapons. We had a seller on the black market contact Rex. They sent me to retrieve it.”
“They know you can do more than a supply run.” Cody nodded, shifting to make room for Obi-wan on the sizable ledge of rock that formed a make-shift bench.
“Do you plan to return to your rebellion soon?”
“You dislike my company?” Obi-wan was almost shocked and then processed Cody’s sarcasm.
“It’s been nice having another soul around.” Cody’s heart lurched at Obi-wan waiting for a response to his honest declaration. Emotions welled in him like the crashing waves on Kamino, retching up on his shore. Cody’s eyes caught movement outside of the cave, but not before Obi-wan sensed it, and turned around to face the threat. Cody reaches to grab Obi-wan's wrist, pulling him back. Alert, Cody's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. The mysterious man was one thing, but his grip on Obi-wan was another. He could feel Obi-wan’s skin and bones shift under his palm. An electricity moved through him, he made a mistake he thought, like he put his fingers through a hologram and distorted the image. He hadn’t meant to be so, abrasive.
“It’s okay.” Whispered Obi-wan, shaking himself from Cody’s hand. Cody let him go with a sorry glance. He trusted Obi-wan but still watched. He glanced to the man’s waist and saw no weapons. So, the itch to reach for his blaster came and went. They were only talking. He knew Obi-wan could handle that. He could handle a lot. Talking especially, better than Cody ever could. He was barely listening, watching the man sway from side to side and then lead against the wall like he owned the place. Not that there was much of a “place” to own. He passed between the man and Obi-wan expressions. Their voices were barely audible from the little “room” carved into the cave he resided in. He could see Obi-wan's expression was stricken with small pain. Each word, a small acupuncture into the muscles of his face. After about ten minutes the man left. Cody didn’t loosen his gaze.

Women are often overcome with the fierce need to swim, and if they don’t swim in a beautiful body of water or a giant pool or a spooky bog now now immediately now— they will shrivel up like a desert shrub
This is because many women are descended from mermaids
hello! I have changed my Etsy user, as I planned to create a snail mail club in the future! for now however, if you are still intent on ordering a letter from your comfort character, don't hesitate🩵
I tend to write more poetry then prose. I really want to make Cody’s aura from my fanfic (kaleidoscope) give off like Joel Miller core like rugged, hyper-competent, righteous, morally strict, lowkey a scary looking guy BUT on in private and internally he’s kind, a little insecure, and the epitome of sunshine because he’s Cody.
because at the and of the end he’s all about CARE and doing the right thing. that’s what I want to come across, the CARE in all of his work, and words, and actions.
Because that’s what makes Obi-wan fall in love with him and that’s what makes people love men/people with that Joel Miller, white feather hawk tale deer hunter by Lana and Crush by Ethel vibe because I makes people feel safe? (I think?)
I don’t know how to make the plot move forward and make that vibe come across, like what can I do with Cody now that he’s with Obi-wan on Tattooine that shows that energy? I am STUCK!
anyway I rarely write prose and I wanna use it to create these vibes? any advice ao3 warriors? writers? I wanna get it right and capture that well.
