Semi Cannon Compliant Series - A Summary
For easier understanding, I made a bullet fic-thing
They get together some time before the Citadel, mostly due to Padme and her handmaidens’ meddling because both of them are giant idiots. Anakin is Confused because what? He loves Padme, wouldn’t want to make her think otherwise—
“Ani, I have both you AND two wives.”
Fair point. He’s still having a panic attack because this is NOT what he planned when he told Padme how hot Fives was. He’s still not sure how to deal with being attracted to TWO WHOLE PEOPLE HOW DO MOST SENTIENTS DEAL WITH SO MUCH ATTRACTION?!?!!
Despite their love of Anakin and similar ideals, Padme and Fives have a... complicated relationship. Fives has no respect for the Senate, and he can’t shake the feeling that most of Padme’s party would willingly “decommission” the clones if it ended the war.
They spend basically the entire two weeks between Zygeria and Hardeen at Padme’s because Anakin needs the comfort from both of his partners and Fives needs it from his partner as well. And they’re plotting to save Dogma.
(They succeed so my heart doesn’t break.)
Rex and Obi-Wan have an unspoken agreement to ignore their little brothers’ relationship. Nope. They know nothing about any of the times someone may have caught the two flirting, kissing, or otherwise being ridiculous.
By the time the chips arc rolls around Anakin is in an eternal state of Cannot Deal. How... why did Fives hurt the Chancellor? There’s so much that doesn’t fit, but his partner’s gone crazy, and he needs to find him.
But he can’t believe the truth.
Fives is shot and Anakin is caught between anger, shock, and utter sorrow. “Get this ray shield off!” he screams and he says nothing else as one of the loves of his life dies right in front of him and he can’t do a thing.
But both that and Ahsoka’s leaving are literally within a month of Clovis... and, well, Clovis is the worst incident but suddenly Anakin finds himself less willing to share with Sabé and Dorme. He starts avoiding going to Padme’s apartment when he knows they’ll be there.
Fives, somehow preserved as a Force Ghost, is PISSED at everything Vader does.
When Anakin returns to the Force, the first thing Fives does is punch him. “You kriffing idiot. You complete and utter di’kut. I hope you know that I hate everything you did.”
(Fives had decided to adopt the twins as he watched them grow up in the Force, too, and he’d sent visions of their birth parents to them in dreams.)
Anakin just takes it. He deserves this and more. He destroyed everything he loved, and he knows it. “I’m sorry,” he says. It takes over a century, Force Time (3 years, to the living), but Fives forgives him.
They watch the rise of the First Order, follow cadets who remind them of themselves, like FN-2187 (though not just for the similarities... well, some physical ones are PART of the reason). Anakin also has to watch out for his little sister, Rey [redacted]
Anakin is screaming hysterically at Kylo, but he knows that his grandson won’t listen. He may have been manipulated by Snoke, but Kylo RELISHED in the Darkness he created and the power it brought him. Fives wants to kill Kylo. A lot.
On the other hand, Fives’ Force Ghost somehow becomes Finn’s main mentor.
“They remind me of us,” Fives says about finnrey. Anakin laughs. “They’re better.”
