✨Beta/Cheer Readers✨
Reminder: as we enter the final stages of the Obikin Reverse Bang of 2025, we're still accepting Beta/Cheer Reader sign-ups!
Our grateful authors would love to have your help in the final stretch of the event if you're interested:
Welcome to the Obikin Reverse Bang of 2025! This event is in celebration of the relationship and unique bond Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywa
Obikin Time Travel AU where Anakin ends up meeting Obi-Wan, who is the same age as him.
And, because there's no Secrets and Impropriety and Guilt and Age Gap and whatnot, AND he's gone so far back in the timeline that Palpatine isn't even the Chancellor yet, Anakin just gets sidetracked by having an affair with Obi-Wan basically immediately and ends up messing up the timeline even more -- this time not because he falls to the Dark Side, but because he completely forgets what he was traveling back in time for in the first place for like, multiple years.
Obi-Wan: [reading the news on his phone in bed] Huh, looks like Palpatine became the new Chancellor. Anakin: [half asleep next to him, naked with wild bedhead, suddenly bolting out of bed and trying to put his pants on as fast as possible] Oh FUCK, I knew there was something I was forgetting about!
Anakin: [to the Force] Uhhh so I'm gonna need another do-over. The Force: Excuse me???! You know I don't just hand these out like candy. I already shouldn't have let you time-travel in the first place. Anakin: Yeah, I know, but...it's me??? [makes puppy dog eyes] The Force: UGH, OK, fine: you can have another re-do. This time I'm not sending you to Twentysomething Obi-Wan, though. You clearly can't be trusted around him. You're getting the older, slightly greying, exasperated, domineering bearded version of him. Anakin: [gulps] Uh. How...flexible are we on that, because I'm not sure that's gonna fix my problems here. The Force: FOR MY SAKE, ANAKIN, WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE CAN YOU PLEASE KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS? Anakin: I want to! But...it's Obi-Wan... 🥺 The Force: [sighing] Yeah, I know, I really outdid myself with him, didn't I? Have you ever seen how he sits in a chair? Anakin: [dreamily] Yeah.
Inspired by amazing “All he’ll see is me”.
Underrated Obikin/Vaderwan fics (that currently have less than 500 kudos on ao3) that I BEG you all to read:

falling asleep BUT FIRST! au where obi-wan leaves the order when anakin is twelve because during a mission off planet he has to choose between saving anakin and the mission objective (that involves like saving a ton of civilians or something idk) and he doesn’t even hesitate before choosing anakin which is obviously incredibly not good attachment and so anakin should be given to another master to train
but he also knows anakin would probably follow him if he just said bye the normal way so he hand to heart uses all his connections on coruscant to like. disappear disappear. like missing person, cold case level of disappear. cause that’s healthier for anakin to deal with for sure
obviously anakin never gets over it, even if he’s assigned to a different master who sees him to his knighthood. obi-wan leaving him with no trail to follow is his miniature obsession that he carries with him all through adolescence and into adulthood
when the empire rises and Vader rises with it, he’s given a long list of priorities and duties that come before using all the imperial resources to track down some guy who hasn’t even been a Jedi for like ten years
but then—miraculously almost—obi-wan kenobi is caught when a Jedi smuggling ring is brought down by the empire. and Vader gets to see his old master for the first time in years and years
he’s very normal about it. he’s even more normal about it when a trooper takes aim at an obi-wan who is attempting to run.
(ofc vader has no choice but to slaughter all the troopers he has with him and kidnap obi-wan for further interrogation. after all, obi-wan once chose anakin skywalker above his duty. it’s only fair that vader now returns the favor)

VADERWANNNNN🔥🔥🔥
Idk if this is something that’s been done before but does anyone have any fic recs where BOTH Obi Wan and Anakin go back in time? I just kinda want to see a desperate Obi Wan who’s willing to do anything to change the future and an Anakin who knows exactly what he wants and isn’t afraid to do it with Obi Wan :/
There is an absolutely fascinating moment in the Obi-Wan and Padme and Anakin confrontation on Mustafar that I kinda want to spin like three full-length fics off of.
Anakin’s Force-choking Padme. Obi-Wan orders him: “Let her go! Let her go, Anakin!” and Anakin - Anakin who has already pledged fealty to Darth Sidious, who has already embraced the Dark Side, who has disclaimed loyalty to Obi-Wan - obeys the command.
He genuinely doesn’t seem to drop Padme because he’s processed yet what he’s doing; it really does look like he’s instinctively obeying Obi-Wan’s orders even when he’s fully off his rocker, out of his mind from everything from accumulated trauma to elemental-evil-exposure, and has officially denounced any hierarchical relationship between them.
And there is SO much to be unpacked there.
I’m guessing that what’s going on, for the most part, is a decade of conditioning as Obi-Wan’s Padawan (and subsequent years as his partner-but-subordinate) to follow his orders reflexively. Combined with Anakin’s overall instinct to obedience, trained into him by everyone from Watto to the Council to Palpatine. And that’s so powerful it overrides everything else, when even Anakin’s protectiveness of Padme couldn’t break through it. Underneath it all, he's still more Padawan than Sith Lord, at an instinctual level.
(It’s not the only time obedience to Obi-Wan takes precedence over the protectiveness of Padme that is otherwise his driving trait, by the way; Obi-Wan orders him to leave her alone and injured in Attack of the Clones and follow Obi-Wan instead of rescuing her and, though he argues a bit, he obeys.)
And what does it say, too, that that’s what Obi-Wan defaulted to? He considers Anakin a brother, at this point, sees them as equals in many ways. But in an urgent situation, he doesn’t plead or reason - he barks an order expecting to be obeyed. Because, in the end, he is a Master, and Anakin never was. And all the weight Anakin gives that fact? The near-meltdown he has about it in the Council chamber? He’s not getting that from nowhere.
In an AU, if Obi-Wan had, instead of fighting him, said “Anakin, I’m going to take over the Republic now and you’re going to be my attack dog. Sit. Stay. Now bite.” Would that have worked? Based on both this scene and how frequently Anakin offers to betray Palpatine for other people so they can rule the Empire in Palpatine’s stead with Anakin as their iron fist, it seems likely!
Not to brag but like, no other OTP is ever gonna be able to compare, especially after all this.
"Oh my OTP is crazy about each other" um cool my OTP are literally insane about each other, they have a spiritual connection that makes them share dreams and sense each other from across the universe, their breakup was the most dramatic thing I've ever seen, one of them built a gigantic castle NEXT to the site of said breakup so he could stare at it all the time, one of them was so destroyed by their breakup he figuratively buried them both together and then slept on a rock in a cave for TEN YEARS. Your OTP is obsessed? MY OTP SET EACH OTHER ON ACTUAL FIRE.
Obi-Wan hallucinated or somehow saw some kind of Force vision of Young Handsome Anakin out of absolutely nowhere
They could sense each other from great distances and every time it happened Obi-Wan looked like his soul was about to explode
The whole set-on-fire thing
They shared a Force bond moment while both almost totally naked
Vader tells someone that Obi-Wan is "not just any Jedi" when they very rightly point out that missing out on the chance to find NUMEROUS people they want to kill or capture should probably take priority over a single depressed hobo
Someone who knew of them both way back when is like "yeah yeah whatever we all know YOU don't want Anakin to be dead" and Obi-Wan just looks upset and NEVER DENIES THIS
Obi-Wan used himself as bait to distract Anakin because "all he'll see is me", in those exact words
They HELD HANDS WHILE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER
They apologized (Obi-Wan) and provided absolution (Anakin) ALSO in the same duel where they were trying to kill each other
Anakin is so obsessed and deranged about the whole thing that even Sidious was like "can we please move on from this ONE topic for a while, Jesus damn"
Obi-Wan goes through this whole fucking ordeal which included being set on fire, being made so upset he teared up/cried/went catatonic multiple times, AND being briefly buried alive, and the first thing out of his mouth when describing to Leia what Anakin was like was "passionate" 😂
AND absolutely none of this includes the stuff from TONS AND TONS of other things these two have appeared in. I'm cracking up.
Guys I fell into the slave!Anakin hole, have this as a little snippet 👀
---
The young man - Anakin, Obi-Wan remembers - is curlded up on the furthest bench of the room (the furthest one from him), bare legs drawn up against his barely more covered chest, blue eyes fixed on him and following each and every one of his movements.
He's shivering, even though he tries to hide it as well as he can. Like Obi-Wan is going to punish him for being cold during his first space travel. He thinks about bringing him a blanket but as soon as he moves, Anakin straightens up, delicate muscles tensing up below the poor excuse of clothes he wears. His presence in the Force perks up in alarm and he makes himself smaller against the wall of the ship, at the same time his gaze intensifies, pinning Obi-Wan in place like an insect to be dissected.
He doesn't dare move. Instead he forces himself to relax under the scrutinizing look of the former slave, keeping his hands crossed behind his back to avoid scaring him.
"I'm not going to hurt you."
Silence. Anakin keeps staring at him, still as a statue except for the occasional tremors betraying how cold he feels.
He might have heard that plenty of times before. Obi-Wan realizes, compelling his own eyes to stay on the boy's face instead of roaming over the scars covering his body. He doesn't want to make him even more uncomfortable than he already feels. But the truth is... He has no idea how to communicate with Anakin.
Freeing him seemed like the right thing do to at the time. More than that, a barely controlled urge mostly driven by the Force he can't totally explain. He didn't have to think as he sprung into action, as he planned and tricked and gained the slave's freedom. But now that the heat has passed, now that he's faced with the consequences of his choices, he finds himself helpless.
"I- I realize I didn't even introduce myself." He says for lack of anything else to tell. "I'm Obi-Wan Kenobi."
Another silence. The intensity of Anakin's gaze on him doesn't decrease.
"It's my name." Obi-Wan precises. "You're Ah-nakin, right ? And I'm Ob-"
"I'm not stupid." Obi-Wan almost startles when the young man opens his mouth. His voice his deeper than the softness of his features would suggest. It's also the first time he hears it. "And it's Anakin, not Ah-nakin."
Obi-Wan clears his throat.
"Far from me the idea of implying that. And I believe that's what I said. Ah-nakin."
"No, it's Anakin." The boy repeats stubbornly. "You make it sound snobbish."
Obi-Wan frowns. He tries to silently mouth the word. It shouldn't be that difficult. Then he gives it his best try.
"Ah-nakin ?"
Anakin actually rolls his eyes at him, like he's the stupidest thing in the galaxy. Obi-Wan tries not to be offended by it.
"Nevermind. You can call me what you want now that you owe me, anyway."
Obi-Wan can't stay still at the words. He takes a step forward on instinct and Anakin flinches hard against the wall, stopping him on his track.
"I don't-" Obi-Wan takes a deep breath, exhaling while he pushes into the Force the emotions those words aroused in him. Disgust, revolt, sadness. Anakin certainly doesn't need his misplaced pity. "I don't owe you, Ah-nakin. I didn't... buy you. I freed you. You belong to yourself, now."
He doesn't know what he expects. Thanks. Gratefulness, maybe. Joy. Relief. He's humbled real quick when all Anakin does is bark a sharp laugh.
"Yeah, sure. Like Watto is actually gonna free me. Good story but I've heard better."
Again, Obi-Wan tries not to be offended. It's natural, after all, that Anakin doesn't trust him. That he doesn't see him as a saviour but as another potential threat. There's probably a lesson to be learned in this, somewhere. Most probably about Obi-Wan's ego.
So, he doesn't insist and changes his angle instead.
"Are you hungry ? You seem to be cold, can I bring you a blanket ?"
Anakin squints at him. His lips slowly start to turn blue but he still shake his head defiantly.
"I'm not cold."
Obi-Wan bites the inside of his cheek, pulling closer to the Force to borrow a little bit of patience.
"You're not really... Dressed for space travels." He tries carefully. "Space is cold. You're used to the constant heat of Tatooine, so... I have spare clothes if you ever feel the need to cover more."
Anakin grins at him, despite his now obvious shivers.
"You don't like how I'm dressed ?"
The question brings a faint blush on Obi-Wan cheekbones. He orders his eyes to stay on Anakin's face. Nobody with common sense would call what the boy is wearing proper clothes. It's nothing more than complicated bands of sheer material intertwined around his body and leaving nothing to the imagination. He must be currently freezing.
"That is not the question." He answers quickly. "I'll bring you warmer clothes. You can do whatever you want with them."
And on that, he flees. He's not proud about it but there's something in Anakin that both fascinates and makes him uncomfortable. He needs some time to disentangle all of it, and to think about what's next.
