Thinking abt Cody and anakin again
Anakin and Cody don't get on; anakin thinks Cody's stuck up and boring, Cody thinks anakin is childish and reckless. But the one thing they have in common is how much they appreciate what the other does for obi-wan.
It's after obi-wan takes an injury that they really talk for the first time. At first about obi-wan, then about rex and ahsoka. Anakin comes away with the somewhat confused impression that Rex is Cody's ahsoka. Or something
This is driving me up the wall. I could have SWORN I wrote this idea out somewhere! But can I find it?!
NO
Google docs? Nope
Color note on phone? NOPE.
Physical notebook I had in my hands when this idea hit me?!? NADA
So now I write it here!
This is the song that prompted it.
It screamed at me for Codywan. Specifically Obi to Cody.
Ok plot: Modern au ish
Cody and Obi-wan/Ben met in senior year of highschool after Ben moved to the same city after some trauma overseas. (Related to Satine? Qui-gon? Anakin? No idea.)
They hit it off fantastically. They were the IT couple that year.
Cody is all star quarterback for the school; screams jock archetype, but his actual passion is art. Like he is more proud when his pieces are put on display or won a prize for competition. He's damn good and his art teachers LOVED teaching him. Voted best artist in the year book
Obi-wan joins the debate club and he's damn good at it. It also helps him deal with some of his trauma. He is the NERD but also well liked by everyone. He is absolutely voted most likely to be a lawyer.
They are together for a while, almost two years in total as they both took a year off to decide what they wanted to do for college.
Obi-wan wanted to plant roots. He was tired of moving so often as a child, and just...wants to settle down. He wants to go to a small college and be a teacher.
Cody wants to see the world. More than that, he wants to be a great artist. He wants to learn art restoration as well, and he knows he can't do that rooted in the same small town.
It's amicable...sort of. Cody says Obi-wan doesn't have to wait for him. But that Cody will come back to him, even if he moved on, he only wants Obi happy.
Obi-wan isn't sure what to do, but he says he will wait. His heart is so hurt that he couldn't keep Cody from leaving. (Oh there's the trauma...people leaving Obi-wan. Got it )
Cody keeps in touch, and for a while Obi-wan returns letters and post cards of his own while Cody is away at a larger college in the same country. Then comes the news that Cody got a full scholarship to study art in Europe. With a potential job after graduation.
Obi-wan pulls away slowly, because Cody is better off without him, and doesn't want to hurt any more. But he keeps every letter and card and can't bring himself to burn or destroy them. So he locks them up in a hope chest.
Don't know what happens next, I honestly don't know if Obi-wan becomes a teacher or something else. But they do eventually meet back up...and reconnect.
So yeah. Now it's written down! Watch I'll find the first draft saved somewhere I "knew I would remember".
a rather odd request from @finlayflop I finished:
Cheerleader Cody anyone?

Chapter Four
Summary: Obi Wan's frustrations with his brother come to a head.
Read on AO3
Excerpt:
Obi Wan suddenly felt overwhelmed by being the oldest. Being responsible for it all. And yes, he wasn’t his sibling’s father, obviously, but the decisions now fell to him. And he felt inadequate in every way. He hadn’t been here, hadn’t lived with them, hadn’t seen their struggles and their triumphs, at least not up close. He wasn’t prepared to be this person for them, because in all honesty, he’d never had that person for himself.
He sighed as the overwhelm threatened to take over and grabbed his phone, blinking at a missed text.
Funeral details are on the bulletin board. Sounds like most of the town in gunna show up.
Obi Wan felt a thrill go through him that he didn’t think had anything to do with the message. He suddenly felt Cody’s lips on the back of his hand as if it had just happened and felt himself blush.
“Oh, for fucks sake.” He muttered, throwing the phone down and trying to distract himself with something else. When that didn’t work, he picked his phone up again and responded.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
The bubble returned as Cody typed and while Obi Wan tried to engage in other things, he watched it disappear and materialize as if it were a reality tv show.
Champion of the little guy!
Obi Wan snorted into his freshly made cup of tea and shook his head.
Idiot.
The bubble appeared again and Obi Wan tracked its progress as he flicked through various research sites for information on Sheev Palpatine. He started to worry that maybe Cody didn’t get the joke, that he thought he was really calling him an idiot until his phone rang and he almost dropped it in surprise.
“I don’t think you’d be working with me if you really thought I was an idiot, Obi Wan.” Cody said with a smile in his voice.
“I suppose not.” Obi Wan responded. He felt a nervous flutter in his stomach that was new and unusual.
“I actually wanted to run something past you…and I’m sorry but it’s about the funeral.”
“Okay,” Obi Wan replied.
“I was thinking of assigning a few undercover officers, just in case anything suspicious happens. Is that okay?”
Obi Wan noticed Anakin’s shadow in the glass of the front door and nodded. “I don’t see why that would be a problem. I mean, Anakin won’t like it, but I’ll let him know ahead of time.”
“Um…that’s the thing…please don’t tell him. We’re testing a theory.”
“Cody, it’s his father’s funeral.”
“I know. I know. But he’s a person of interest, and we can’t help that.”
“Fuck.” Obi Wan muttered under his breath.
“I know. And I’m sorry. If you want we can…talk about it…I can meet you at the bar tonight…”
Obi Wan nodded to his brother as he walked in and threw his keys down on the counter and scrunched up his face, asking who he was talking to. “I’m not sure that’s such a good idea.” He said, his voice softer.
“He’s there isn’t he?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.” Obi Wan replied with a smile at Anakin.
“Okay, well…I’ll be there, Obi Wan, nine o’clock. Maybe I’ll see you later.”
“Okay, thanks. Bye.” Obi Wan said, before hanging up and turning to his brother.
“Final details for Tuesday.”
“Ah,” Anakin said before diving in the fridge. “Where is all the food?” he asked angrily before realizing. “Oh,” he muttered to himself, his face crumpling at the realization.
Obi Wan watched him with pity. It wasn’t right for a man so young to bury his father. No matter what Obi Wan thought of Qui Gon, Anakin still deserved to have his dad.
When Ahsoka woke up they flittered around the house together. Spending time in the kitchen and then the den as though searching for some normality in the chaos. They chatted over dinner, something alien to Obi Wan who hadn’t really experienced his siblings as adults.
WIP Wednesday ~ Love Makes You Fly
Finally nearly done with this chapter. It's taken me ages to start getting it typed up because life is busy and parenting is hard. Anyway:
The completion of the barracks fills Cody with something that feels oddly like relief, regret, and frustration rolled into one oddly shaped ball. Although he has spent time living in a tent with his general on campaign, there is something very different about the intimacy which comes with living in a shared suite of rooms. He appreciates having his own space, of course, but he cannot help but miss the fact that he no longer has a reason for his quiet breakfasts with Kenobi. He no longer has a reason to linger in a comfortable pit of cushions and simply talk and enjoy his general's company. They are separated now by little more than a thin wall, but while the physical distance is smaller, there may as well be an entire galaxy between them. Away from Kryze's palace, the walls which had crumbled during their stay have been rebuilt. Cody knows that it was necessary. He hates that it had to happen.
