someone asked me for fic recs and I already had it listed out, so I decided to post here! these are some of my fave fics that (for the most part) focus on whump. these are in no particular order. this is not an exhaustive list by any means, I have plenty of more favorites that I have saved but I wouldn’t quite call them whump fics. also, these don’t really encompass a broad variety of whump genres, more like I have a type and that is captivity/torture. yes, i’m a sicko.
if I could, I would rec everyone’s whumptober/febuwhump/etc, but maybe I’ll do that separately if there’s enough interest.
obviously, there’s some heavy shit on this list, including noncon, so please read the tags and take care of yourself.
without further ado:
A Temporary Mercy by @swranger (6k, M, GDOV, series WIP) - citadel au. so this one is great because if you’re like me you were probably disappointed by the quick save obi et al got in the citadel arc and that he wasn’t...hurt a bit more.
something inside this heart has died (you’re in ruins) by @revanchxst (22k, T, CCNTUAW, completed) - two things i love, codywan and pain. I was craving a fic where cody replaced rex on kadavo and goddamn this one delivered.
i just wanna keep calling your name (until you come back home) by @revanchxst (15k, T, NAWA, completed) - what if chipped-cody started dreamsharing with obi-wan? this is the first one that’s not quite physical whump but it’s sprinkled in there along with plenty of angst. also there’s a line in here that made me cry so much i have it saved to a widget on my phone.
Recollection by @elwenyere (18k, E, NAWA, completed) - within the first few paragraphs i knew this one was gonna hurt. honorary mention because it’s cody whump and not obi whump but still plenty of pain.
Suns Tempered By Devotion by @come-chaos (15k, E, R/NC, completed) - another one that’s more codywan than whump, but this one is on here because it killed me and i have still not recovered.
In the Line of Duty by shipping_ruined_my_life (5.7k, E, GDOV, completed) - the obi whump exchange was good to us. codywan + the good ole tortured-in-front-of-the-other with a twist!
Offset by @deviantaccumulation (64k, M, GDOV, completed) - i have this one saved as “qui-gon’s alive and dooku’s a bitch”, pretty self explanatory. A+ whump.
Example by @swranger (40k, NR, GDOV, completed) - this would be like christmas if i celebrated it. every new chapter is some horror for obi and i fucking love it.
Dreams by @geodax (2.7k, M, CCNTUAW, completed) - so grievous definitely had some kind of psychosexual obsession for obi and we all know it. this...builds on that :)
Of Teachers and T'ayl'e by @levitatingbiscuits (8.7k, NR, GDOV, WIP) - also not a whump fic per se, but he’s hurt for enough of it that i’m including it. this encompasses everything i love about jangobi.
The Dark Side of Obi-Wan Kenobi Part 1 by @mostthingskenobi (25k, M, GDOV completed) - a post-lawless au with some truly delicious torture.
Conjuring Miracles by @kcrabb88 (30k, M, NAWA, completed) - again, we were deprived of some good whump by the kenobi show when tala shows up miraculously to save him (and vader forgets that he controlled fire like 2 seconds ago). this remedies that beautifully.
See My Dreams All Die by @temporaryuniverse-writing (34k, M, GDOV, completed) - what if obi-wan killed anakin on mustafar, so sidious tried to make him fall instead? plenty of great whump, but also comfort.
And This Guilt, Please Bleed It Out of Me by @letitrainathousandflames (6.2k, M, GDOV, completed) - another beautiful OWE fic. obi-wan continues to suffer from anakin’s actions (this time, the tuskens).
Only One Allowed to Hurt You by sereq_ieh_dashret (15k, E, GDOV, WIP) - maul is basically like “wait you can’t hurt kenobi, i’m the only one who can do that >:(
The Mandalorian Wars by @geodax (66k, M, GDOV, MCD, completed) - my first whump fic i read in the prequels fandom! heavy as fuck, but so good.
Two Months by I_Gave_You_Fair_Warning (14k, E, GDOV, completed) - cody replaces alpha-17 in the rattatak storyline, pain ensues :(
vital signs by marketchippie (18, E, GDOV, completed) - everything that’s great about ventrobi. tfw when you have sexual tension with your torturer?
And When In Shadows by @the-last-kenobi (1k, M, CCNTUAW, completed) - a short whumptober fic that i could not get out of my head for weeks. chef’s kiss mwah
A Treatise On Breaking and Repairs by @glimmerglanger (52k, E, GDOV, R/NC, MCD, completed) - of course i could not forget glimmer, the whump monarch. i remember staying up until 5 am every day just to catch the updates and being in awe each time.
did a thing for the @year-of-whump-tropes! the monthly prompt for september was "pet whump" so of course i had to participate :)
i completed 30 drabbles (the 28 daily prompts plus two extra so i would have one for every day of september) that are all part of the same story. it is, of course, a tormenting obi-wan fic because what else what i be writing >:]
i present to you: Thread by Thread. enjoy!

Also quick headcanon of sorts: So yk how Sith eyes glow yellow once they turn to the dark side? What if Jedi/Light-side users’ eyes do the same thing, except of a more blueish-green tinge. I mean if the Sith can have cool glowy eyes, why can’t the Jedi
whump is such a strange thing for me. ‘oh im having trouble shouldering the burdens of daily life, let me play scenes in my head of someone getting the shit kicked out of them (fictionally), that’ll make me feel better’ and it DOES
welcome to my fic masterlist (because I finally decided it was time to do one)! separated into odious and other obi-wan noncon. beware, there be dead dove content here.
Palpatine/Obi-Wan fics:
Come Ye Carrion Birds to Feast - Waking in a strange place, tied to a chair, is never a good sign, in Obi-Wan's experience. Much less when the last thing he remembers is finding Fives in the underbelly of Coruscant, learning the identity of the Sith Lord, and their subsequent capture by the Coruscant Guard. And when Chancellor Palpatine, the Sith Lord himself, decides to have a little fun with his captive, what at first seems like a fight for freedom, quickly becomes a battle for survival. One that he might not win.
These Invisible Chains - Ever since the Ruusan Reformation a thousand years ago, the Jedi have been indentured to the Galactic Republic. The core terms are simple: when a Senator makes a Request, the Jedi must fulfill it. Chancellor Palpatine isn't the first Senator to Request Obi-Wan. He is, however, the only one to offer him something he can't refuse—protection and freedom for his Padawan. The only price is Obi-Wan's own freedom, a price he will gladly pay to keep Anakin safe. A price that may just cost them the galaxy.
Birdcage of Memory - The Senate gala is a waste of Senator Sheev Palpatine's time. At least, it is until he meets Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi. For once, he enjoys talking to a Jedi. But when Obi-Wan is drugged by one of Sheev's fellow Senators, he finds that he is not above... taking advantage.
In All Ways, Forever - The Chosen One wasn't the only one to catch Palpatine's eye on Naboo thirteen years ago. Obi-Wan finds himself in his sights as well, but he can't say gaining the new Chancellor's attention is such a terrible fate. After all, Sheev is kind, and wise, and perhaps just a little attractive. The only problem is that Obi-Wan is a Jedi. But when the End comes, and the Jedi die, Obi-Wan alone is spared and delivered to the Emperor. To the Sith. And once Obi-Wan is bound to him, in all ways, forever, Sidious isn't letting his Consort go.
Sealed with a Kiss - Of all the places Obi-Wan expected to wake up, strapped to a table in a dark cell was not one of them. Of all the people Obi-Wan expected see upon waking, the Chancellor of the Republic, Sheev Palpatine, Sith Lord, was not one of them.
Desire - Palpatine finds himself enamored with a Jedi. Not just any Jedi, but Obi-Wan Kenobi. Too bad Obi-Wan doesn't feel the same. Unfortunately for him, Sidious is not the type to give up on his pursuits.
Smoke and Mirrors - Held captive in a small cell, bound by chains and a collar, Obi-Wan faces the worst Sidious has to offer, all in an effort to break him. The only thing he can do is wait for rescue. It finally comes, but whether it is real or not is another matter in a game of smoke and mirrors.
The Suffering of the Jedi - When Obi-Wan woke in the Chancellor's bedroom months ago, chained and collared and with Palpatine in him and over him, he hadn't thought he would end up like this. He'd still had hope. Now a prisoner of the Sith, forced to bear his children and establish his legacy, he is breaking slowly. And without escape, he knows that sooner or later, he will shatter so completely he won't be able to put himself back together.
Obi-Wan/Others:
Apostasy - Obi-Wan Kenobi/Original Clone Trooper Character. Not every clone is happy to be a part of the GAR. Some just take their grievances farther than others.
Genesis - Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker/Padmé Amidala. Obi-Wan escaped from one captor, only to fall straight into the jaws of another. Of all the danger he expected to find on Naboo, dragons were not on the list. But that danger is not what it seems.
Mark of the Beast - Obi-Wan Kenobi/Sith Hounds. Obi-Wan and Anakin travel to Korriban to search the Sith temple there for an ancient Sith artifact. Obi-Wan finds something else, instead: a long-dead Sith Lord in need of the power only an omega can bring him. From there, things—as they tend to do when the Kenobi-Skywalker team is involved—go terribly wrong.
Whiplash - Obi-Wan Kenobi/Zygerrians. The mission to Zygerria goes wrong in a terrible way. The Queen does not send Obi-Wan to Kadavo, instead she delivers him to her guards with instructions to break the Jedi. By any means necessary.
Innocence Died Screaming - Obi-Wan Kenobi/Other. An ancient Dark Side cult requires a sacrifice to their god. Obi-Wan will do nicely.
Sour Liquor - Obi-Wan Kenobi/Others. Obi-Wan doesn't pay enough attention to his drink when he visits a club. He won't be making that mistake again.
Bleeding Red - Obi-Wan Kenobi/Jango Fett. Revenge, money, and sex. The three motives for murder. Unfortunately for Obi-Wan, they're three motives for something else. When he wakes up tied to a bed on an unfamiliar ship, he knows whatever comes next will not be good.He's right.
Zugzwang - Obi-Wan Kenobi/Rex, Obi-Wan Kenobi/Zygerrians. On Kadavo, the slave masters try other methods of breaking their Jedi slave. Rex does his best to protect the General, but when there are no good moves to play, the one he makes may be more than he and Obi-Wan can handle.
Impact - Obi-Wan Kenobi/Others. Injured and alone in the woods, Obi-Wan is found by a stranded crew of pirates who decide he will make good entertainment for the night.
Shatter - Obi-Wan Kenobi/Others. Obi-Wan lands himself in a trap and the Separatists decide to have some fun breaking a Jedi.
Welcome to Robe Drop, a celebration of our most beloved Obi-Wan getting railed. This 18+ event will be structured as a prompt meme. Check out the FAQs for more information.
A schedule and more details will be released soon.
