thinking thoughts about posting my old wips that I will probably not come back any time soon but are just languishing in my gdrive

[jamesttiberius]

we grow, we grow (steady as the morning) [series]

the disaster shatterpoint lineage au, co created & written with @maragny: an in-universe au with jedi as found family, framed in love and family and trauma and healing

presenting!!! a shiny new au!!!!!

yall we have spent MONTHS developing this au, and the more we work on fics within it, the more it grows, but here’s the basics:

AGES & RELATIONSHIPS

ages are (oldest to youngest): qui-gon > mace > obi-wan > depa > anakin > ahsoka > caleb

qui-gon and mace are similarly aged (qui-gon is 3 years older) and have been lifelong friends, and are in a queerplatonic partnership

obi-wan and depa are similarly aged, and mace and qui-gon raise them together

qui-gon is a good master!! obi-wan is very loved by qui-gon and mace and dooku

qui-gon and dooku were very close

obikin endgame

obi-wan is 8 years older than anakin and spends 8 years as qui-gon’s padawan before qui-gon’s death

qui-gon’s first padawan is xanatos, who does fall to the dark side & follows the legends plotline mostly

obi-wan is 21 when qui-gon dies

dooku & obi-wan are VERY similar and have the most parallels

they use specific words to refer to each other; sache is like a cousin, neve is like a niece/nephew, and saman is like uncle

CANON, AU CANON, & TIMELINE

phantom menace takes place mostly as-is: qui-gon and obi-wan find anakin on tatooine, maul kills qui-gon

dooku falls after qui-gon’s death. he also leaves the temple after qui-gon’s death, and so none of the jedi know he is fallen until geonosis

obi-wan goes undercover as hardeen to investigate a rumor about the chancellor, and he ends up finding proof that the chancellor is the sith lord in the senate, therein (eventually leading to) ending the war

dooku gets a complicated and emotionally fraught redemption arc

neither anakin nor dooku have a “boo the jedi council” mentality there’s only respect here

anakin is knighted approx. 6 months after geonosis/the start of the war, and christophsis/ahsoka as his padawan takes place about 4-5 months later

obi-wan and anakin get together about halfway between the first and second battles of geonosis

POWERS, ABILITIES, AND THE FORCE

the force signatures of jedi in a lineage all feel similar to each other

lineages tend to have similar force abilities

shatterpoint lineage powers: mace can see shatterpoints; depa has a strong connection to the cosmic force and gets ‘warning’ senses from it; caleb has both a strong connection to the living force and the cosmic force, and has a heightened ability to use the force to extend his senses

disaster lineage powers: dooku has storm/lightning powers while still a jedi (ex: can create a thunderstorm either on purpose or as a by-product of a strong enough emotion) and so does obi-wan. qui-gon has the strongest living force connection of the jedi at the temple at the time he’s alive, and then anakin does; anakin, besides his connection to the living force, can use the force to extend his senses, and ofc child of the force extremes; ahsoka has a strong connection to the cosmic force

obi-wan and anakin both use ataru as their preferred form until geonosis, after which obi-wan switches to soresu, and mace teaches anakin vaapad 

once ahsoka ends up with a second crystal, all of them get very proficient in jar’kai because of practicing with her

mace forms a padawan bond with obi-wan after qui-gon’s death; obi-wan and depa have a force bond; and every new family member after that ends up with force bonds with all of them 

a jedi’s force sensitivity tends to be one of two ways: very fluid movement between light and dark, or a dramatic pendulum swing between light or dark

mace, anakin, yoda, and ahsoka have the fluid sensitivity

obi-wan, depa, and caleb are only light

dooku is also only light, but dips into the dark too often which is partially how he falls

CHARACTER NOTES

depa is vegetarian

obi-wan gets oldest sibling trauma

anakin wants to be depa when he grows up

sometimes mace is a very tired single dad & all of them are his padawans, even if not in name

obi-wan is the shortest

i’m sure we missed some things lol but you can read them all on ao3 here!

[jamesttiberius]

and we’re gonna make it alright the disaster shatterpoint lineage au | ao3 | 3640 words 

summary: qui-gon’s death, from mace’s point of view (and a little bit of depa’s pov), in the framework of the disaster shatterpoint lineage au; or, how mace ends up with two more padawans 

tags: major character death (off-screen, canonical), queerplatonic partners mace windu & qui-gon jinn, padawan obi-wan kenobi, padawan depa billaba, the phantom menace, parental mace windu, force bonds, protective depa billaba, emotional hurt/comfort

we'll be scraping the sky with our fingertips (screaming this is the life, we were born for this)

star wars: rebels | 12261 words | complete a year and half late but finally my secret santa fic for @inconocible is finished!! the bulk of this was written over the last 5-6 months & i honestly had so much fun writing characters and relationships i hadn't spent much time with before. this is really a story of love and loss and healing, and the relationships that define us throughout our lives. kanan has such a rich history in interpersonal relationships and trauma and recovery, and it was so nice to finally sit down and take the time to delve into some of that.

The sky here is massive and clear, a whole ocean of blues and blacks and purples, more stars than Jim could ever hope to count, the arc of the Milky Way cutting across all of it; exactly the kind of sky Jim's spent his life searching for, exactly the kind of sky that’s always calmed him, called to him, a ghost of the first things he ever saw.

// star trek aos following jim’s life by night skies that stemmed from wanting to do an established relationship mckirk stargazing fic lol

He noses at Dick’s hairline above his ear, breathing slow, and Dick's expecting it, almost, when his voice is low and rough as he says, “I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot.”

// jaydick where the plot is literally just jason quoting classic lit romance at dick
