OMFG.  Please go read ‘The Desert Storm’ by Blue_Sunshine.  It’s a Star Wars epic AU, it’s over a million words, and I’ve read it twice already.  The characterization and world-building are masterful.  The emotional register of this author is amazing... they manage to balance comedic elements and lighthearted banter against horror and tragedy.  

I love this fic so much.  It makes me so HAPPY.  It’s one of those delightful stories where every AO3 notification is like a little hit of dopamine. 

Go read it.  Though uh, maybe wait for a holiday, not gonna lie, the first time I read it, I barely moved from my desk for a whole weekend :)

Close-up of Obi-Wan in my fancover of Desert Storm by @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning

(Those space-desert googles come directly from that deleted scene between Han and Luke, in the original prequels. Because Tatooine is poor and Obi-Wan is poorer so he has Old Stuff.)

“You should have been  a crechemaster,” Obi-Wan says, the thought coming out of nowhere, but bringing a smile to his face.

One that grows bigger, at the baffled, startled look the older man favors him with. “Beg pardon?”

“I think you would have been happier,” these words, too, come out almost unbidden. “You always seem so at peace in the creche.”

His master huffs, blue-grey eyes gleaming strangely. “Maybe when I’m too old for all of this, that’s what I’ll do. Healer Kala has been encouraging me to… think ahead.”

“Do you not?” Obi-Wan inquires curiously. All his master seemed to do was think ahead, in his opinion.

“Only to a certain point,” Master Ben confesses. “As a means to an end. She says I’m not very… optimistic.”

Obi-Wan stares back at those sharp blue-grey eyes, made stark in his sun-darkened face, and decides he wants to meditate before he even attempts to unpack those kinds of issues.
