lmao what.

[tennessoui]

You're a wonderful writer, you deserve all the treats! 🎃🍭🍬🍫🍦🧁✨

awww thank you so much 🥹🥹

it is no longer halloween but i have a couple of trick or treat asks that i didn't get to cause my time management leaves a lot to be desired & little time to desire it lol so to spare people's dashes but to not leave anyone in the wind, i'm gonna respond to all of them in one long post :D (this one)

see beneath the cut!! you guys did great there were like almost no repeats even though there statistically probably should have been???

🍬🍬 hello thank you 🧡

i already answered a kuwsk one, so for roadtrip au....

here is a little drabble from an upcoming scene in the roadtrip au (squick tag:a/b/o):

Obi-Wan narrows his eyes in his direction. "What's wrong, Anakin?" "Nothing," he says. Shit, that came out too fast. Obi-Wan's eyes narrow further, like he agrees. "You've been acting strangely all day," the love of his life says. "You didn't even say anything when I pointed out the pancake house for breakfast. You didn't even say anything when I got a cinnamon roll at the coffee shop!" "You had two servings of vegetables yesterday," Anakin mumbles, placing both hands on the wheel and looking at the road. Maybe if he pretends this stretch of flat wasteland road in front of him is the most interesting thing in the world and requires his entire concentration, Obi-Wan will drop the subject. Obi-Wan does not seem to pick up on this. He scoffs instead, and crosses his arms. "When has that ever been enough to you? Since this entire thing started?" "Obi-Wan--" "And we've been listening to my podcast for the past two hours!And you haven't mentioned it once!" "Fine," Anakin snaps, tightening his hands and then loosening his grip with effort. "Fine, congratulations. Yeah, something's wrong. I'm working through it though, okay?" On his side of the car, Obi-Wan draws himself up, and then seemingly shrinks himself down a moment later. "Is--" his hand falls onto Anakin's arm before it drops away. "Is this...because of the other night?" Anakin's jaw clenches. Them having sex hasn't just been kept to the other night. They fucked their way through all of North Dakota and Montana over the course of the last two days. But sure, the other night. "No." "Because if it is--" the omega's voice is timid and it makes Anakin's chest hurt. "You're not wearing my clothes," Anakin blurts out. "You smell different and I hate it and I know it's stupid and weird and some Dark Ages Alpha bullshit, but you need to be wearing my shirt or I'm going to fucking lose my mind, Obi-Wan." The words draw Obi-Wan up short. Anakin cuts his eyes to the side and he can see his omega's mouth hanging slightly open. Anakin taps his tongue against the back of his teeth. Great, now he sounds like some insane micro-managing lunatic. "And I think I'm going into rut." Now he sounds like a horny micromanaging lunatic. Perfect.

👻 ahh trick or treat for the naughtiest au that deserves NO treats!! 🧡

some nasty info on the cheating au i haven't talked about like. all their flying lessons. when obi-wan and anakin start fucking (before they're in love with each other), obi-wan devises a plan to get anakin alone more often so they can fuck on the weekends and not just at their places of work lol. it involves complaining to padmé about needing to really learn how to fly now that his uh valet has retired. he can't get a new one. no, that's not an option. so does padmé know anyone who flies very well and would be down to perhaps teaching him in their free time?

and padmé is like oh i do actually! my husband anakin is a very good flier. would you like me to connect you two? he came with me to your party.

and obi-wan is like i think i remember him :> he would be...available?

and anakin is guilty but very available

so they mostly spend all their flying lessons fucking in the cock pit because obi-wan's been able to fly since he was a kid. padmé learns about this either after the very end where she finds out about their affair, OR she learns about it in the lead up to the very end where she's feeling very suspicious but she's been ignoring it for THIS long so.....

🧛‍♀️🦇

trick or treat 🧡

twilight au 🧡

a headcanon for the twilight au! obi-wan's biggest pet peeve with anakin is that he absolutely hates being guided or directed in any way. he fights just to fight and obi-wan enjoys putting him in place but it would be fucking easier if anakin didn't spend so much time arguing over like. how many vegetables he should have a day. and how much water he needs to drink. obi-wan is a licensed doctor like 36 times over for fuck's sake.

anakin's biggest pet peeve is obi-wan constantly tries to mind trick him to see if his immunity will falter or fail. anakin's like for the love of god obi-wan im not a science experiment, jesus christ--'

and obi-wan hisses (cause vampire), and obi-wan's like 'you can't tell me you didn't just want to see if that was just a vampire myth'

assholes to each other <3 for eternity <3

😈 trick or treat 👽

omg smithsonian au......you know what they do for halloween, these two fuckers?? padmé invites everyone over to her (very fancy apartment) for pumpkin carving and obi-wan and anakin are so fucking annoying. they turn into a competition about who can carve the best pumpkin. obi-wan calls anakin's first attempt (a cat face) lowbrow (obi-wan carved a jellyfish), and anakin throws pumpkin guts into obi-wan's hair (he's a ginger, no one will even be able to tell!)

it goes on and on until padmé dismisses them from her apartment because it's either that or carve into anakin and obi-wan.

after getting kicked out of pumpkin carving they accidentally go on a romantic autumnal walk. they stop at a street light and anakin picks pumpkin guts out of obi-wan's hair.

it makes them feel so many things they're not mature enough to talk about

trick or treat! 🎃😸

oh ho ho the cult au! that doesn't even have a tag! (but basically it's an au where jedi obi-wan is tasked with investigating a Force adjacent cult on the desert planet Tatooine, and it's anakin obviously who is so powerful in the force he's made a whole cult out of it and sets his sights on obi-wan as his forever partner)

here is a 3 line drabble!

The boy's head tilts, and his eyes are heavy, piercing gold. They pin Obi-Wan in place even from across the room. It is immediately completely obvious who among the people in this room has influenced the Force. Even though the boy could not be more than twenty, his entire presence radiates pure power. Obi-Wan has never felt a Force signature so aggressive, so strong. For the first time since he heard the rumors, since the Council handed him the file for this mission, Obi-Wan can believe that there is a Child of The Force on this desert planet. A demi-god, whose attention can change futures, destinies-- "Approach," the boy commands, extending a hand out over the empty space surrounding him. "Obi-Wan Kenobi."

trick or treat 👽🎃

hello hello the selkie au <3

here is a bit of background thought on the selkie au! one of the things i include in most fics/characterizations of anakin is that he's a pretty one partner for life kind of person (in that he married padmé after being obsessed with her forever in canon, and one of my favorite fanons is that his very first crush/sexual awakening was obi-wan and then he would have totally married obi-wan if obi-wan was a bit different character)

but in selkie au, anakin has a very long history of dating/trying to fall in love, which is like pretty unique in my writing!

and obi-wan probably has like only a few partners he's been head over heels with, and he falls really hard for anakin which makes their (temporary) break up so much harder for him personally

trick or treat ! 😈

and omg for the space actors au??? ok ok

so obi-wan and anakin are in a holo film where they have to be jedi which will mean very serious research

and they absolutely go to the jedi temple and fuck in like a few sacred places, but tbh so many other jedi have also fucked there so that it's no big deal......even if they get caught.....and even if the make-up department has to spend a small fortune covering up their hickies they somehow got on a "research trip"

(the holonet runs a scandalous article about which jedi broke their vows of celibacy and slept with famed actor anakin skywalker?)

(obi-wan is offended that his handiwork is not recognized)

(the jedi order has to put out a statement to say that actually there are no enforced vows of celibacy though jedi may choose to follow whichever personal vows they would like)

(and if a jedi slept with anakin skywalker, the jedi council has decided they do not want to know. or hear about it anymore. thank you.)

🎃 trick or treat 🦇

i actually got asked for lslm 3 more times after you sent this in, but you were the first to ask after lslm so congrats on beating the crowd haha

ok sooooo here's a bit of the new chapter (remember, anakin's discovered that padmé has a golden wolf's mask in her luggage, what the council's intelligence has said is what the traitor will be wearing):

Padmé's eyes are unreadable when she looks back up at him. He’s been compromised. Fucking stars. He’s been compromised within the first five minutes of his mission. The enemy—the alpha in the golden wolf’s mask—she knows he is lying, she knows who he is, and she’s dangerous. She’s dangerous, and Obi-Wan is here. Anakin can feel his shoulders straightening at the reminder. Obi-Wan is here, sharing the same air as Amidala, the woman who now knows too much. If Anakin is compromised, it will only be a few minutes before Obi-Wan is compromised as well. Obi-Wan will not be threatened on this mission. Anakin will not allow it, even if it means silencing Amidala himself. She had shown him kindness and compassion when he had been nothing but a slave. And then again when he had been nothing but a boy crying out for his master. But it seems she’s forgotten what loyalty is.  Anakin can remind her. But before he can step forward into her personal space, slip control of his pheromones so that all she can smell is willing omega, tease her fingers before interlacing them with his own and pulling her out of the entrance room into a more private location—before he can take the first step towards extinguishing this threat to his alpha’s safety, someone touches Padmé’s bare shoulder.

trick or treat!! 🎃👻

a fish hook, an open eye--what a fic, thank you for sending this and therefore reminding me of it lol 🧡

hm quick head canon for this fic is....anakin actually honestly makes obi-wan a better person and sorta saves the galaxy. see, he would have stopped at nothing to take down the jedi order, but then anakin comes into his life and all his priorities sort of change.

mostly cause anakin doesn't really care about ruling the galaxy. he's very family focused (thanks, obi-wan) and he wants his family to be safe and hidden -- probably because a lot of sidious' initial teaching enforced in him that safe = hidden

and obi-wan...he doesn't actually want to give up his dreams and he would sure love to see the jedi die for no other reason than they're stingy about who gets to use the Force or whatever, but....he likes the family he has with anakin. he could be content with setting up an empire in the outer rim. he doesn't need galactic wide conquest. he's already conquered the bestest part of the galaxy (anakin)

cody is going to be sick. this is disgusting, and the thought that obi-wan and anakin actually make each other better is too awful to even consider. straight lies and deception.

🧛‍♀️🍬 trick or treat!!! 😈

oooo time traveler ahsoka au!

here is a drabble for time traveling ahsoka au during one of the re-dos (specifically, the one where obi-wan is duke of mandalore and anakin is a Jedi General married to Senator Amidala and they respect their duties at the cost of their almost love):

Even though Ahsoka had not screamed along with Anakin when she'd seen Obi-Wan's body struck by droid-fire---she could not, she had no body, just another thing to add to the long list of things she'd given up for this, for the galaxy---her throat feels raw, as if she has been sobbing for hours the way her master has been, seated slumped over in the chair next to the Duke of Mandalore's cot. Anakin is quiet now, though every so often a fresh tear will roll down his reddened cheek as he sits silently, hand clutching Obi-Wan's own. A part of Ahsoka is screaming at her to reset this scenario. Obviously, these two souls are as entangled together as their fingers currently are. But it would be cruel. Wouldn't it? To end this run now, when Obi-Wan and Anakin are so recently wounded? And they have been so reasonable up until this moment. They have been cordial, respectful---friends, brothers in arms. Obi-Wan has almost died. Surely, Anakin is allowed to mourn. Surely if Ahsoka existed in this scenario, if she were Anakin's padawan and she'd be struck down, he would sit at her bedside and cry over her sleeping form. Right? It takes three tries for the words to pass Anakin's lips, and when he does finally speak, Ahsoka can barely understand him. He has pressed his mouth to the back of Obi-Wan's hand. "Never again," he mumbles against the duke's skin. "You do not belong here, and I would--I would tear my heart out and leave it for safekeeping on Mandalore before I would watch you take on blaster fire again." Ahsoka's mouth opens, spell words meant to reset the circumstances on her tongue. It sounds like a love confession, and she knows that those such things are to be avoided. Her mind begins to race. A new scenario---this time, she will keep them apart forever---this time, they will never meet, and the galaxy will--- "When you wake," Anakin's voice derails her thoughts and holds her tongue. "I will send you back to your wife. And it will be the end. It will--it is time. To end." Ahsoka's mouth closes. The words evaporate. Her chest tightens, and though this should feel as if she's dodged a blaster shot, it feels like she's been hit.

trick or treat 🍬🧡

i gave a little drabble of the couples counseling au for the last trick or treating ask re: couples counseling au so i'm gonna give just a bit of a headcanon this time!

in couples counseling au, the jedi council absolutely knows that they're seeing a couples therapist who specializes in married partners 💙 probably a few of them think that anakin and obi-wan know that as well, but most of them are like. well. they'll figure it out right? some of it may be applicable? they're definitely better than how they were a month ago so, no harm no foul etc etc

[tennessoui]

May I ask abt the status of Like saints, like monsters?

lslm is being steadily and lovingly picked up and put down and picked up again! every so often, i'll add a few hundred words to the scene i'm struggling through at the moment (which is mostly anakin's reaction to obi-wan's outfit and obi-wan's reaction to anakin being covered in another alpha's scent)

(neither options are optimal)

BUT then they get to engage in some roleplay which is going to be super fun to write (because they have to pretend they don't know each other while they're ALSO pretending that they're not fully 1000% in love) and totally ends with obi-wan ALSO rubbing his scent on anakin in all the places padmé did and anakin getting so aroused about it and feeling so guilty too lol

because of course obi-wan just sees him as a pup 🙄🤡

[tennessoui]

I burned my finger on the toaster this morning and because I am rereading lslm I couldn't help but imagine how feral-wan would react anakin probably doesn't think its a big deal (because it's not), he gets little burns all the time from his mechanics but to obiwan anything that could hurt his Ani is a threat. Anakin is going to come back one day to all his projects gone and obi looking pleased

Ooo I think feral obi-wan at his most feral has all of anakin’s attention at any given time — no droids or extra mechanical tinkering to be found in their quarters for like at least six months post rescu

Obi-Wan at his slight feral but clawing back to sanity would treat little projects the way he treats anakin’s comm units which is to say he’s happy to have anakin work on them/take calls, but only when he’s got his head on his lap and is scratching his hair or something…if anakin felt pain while working on a project, obi-wan would absolutely growl at it like a feral lil confused alpha baby but his main concern would probably be to kiss and scent and lick anakin to make sure he’s ok and the pain is gone (with more growling at the stupid project that hurt anakin in the first place)

and mostly sane!obi-wan who is only slightly feral at the time of the start of the actual story of lslm would contain all of his irritation and growling if he hears/feels anakin’s pain from a mech project gone wrong because he knows it’s silly and that he shouldn’t care/react in such a way, but his first instinct is now always going to be to protect anakin

[tennessoui]

4. What detail in Like Saints Like Monsters are you really proud of?

[from this ask game]

I can’t remember if this made it into the fic yet or not, but I really like the detail I talked about on tumblr where obi-wan watches old speeches and interviews he himself gave to try and learn his speech style again and it breaks anakins heart every time he finds him doing that because he's good enough as is and he shouldn’t try to be exactly as he used to be…….

…..and the related idea where obi-wan listens to anakin’s voice/recordings of anakin doing interviews but for comfort instead of self flagellation 🥺

[tennessoui]

kit i would love to know what the council members in lslm thought about obi-wan’s threat

clearly they believe he was serious (as they should) but do you think any of them were particularly shocked/disturbed?

hmmm this is such a good question!! i'm going to say that they're very much shocked and disturbed that obi-wan would threaten to mate anakin (so that he would be a bonded omega and he wouldn't be able to go on the mission they want to send him on--without obi-wan) because he's been so good and so much better and this is the threat of a feral alpha....not the obi-wan that's slowly been coming back to them

i don't think they're necessarily disturbed that obi-wan is threatening to mate ANAKIN or that anakin doesn't want this because anakin is absolutely throwing out fuck me vibes and scent and omg it's happening force signatures

but i think they really didn't realize or think obi-wan would go so far and regress so much and that shocked them

[tennessoui]

I love Like Saints, Like Monsters! So, for the ask game: “But I will not leave,” Obi-Wan says, and Anakin laughs because surely Obi-Wan is not implying that he’s going to follow Anakin into the refresher. They haven’t done that since the third month of Obi-Wan’s return. “Left too much already,” he continues before Anakin can say anything at all. The words steal his own away from him. It’s worse when Obi-Wan leans back and looks at him with eyes that look—look clear. “We both have,” the alpha declares. It’s the first time Obi-Wan has ever alluded to his own capture all those years ago. It feels like a punch in the gut to hear. No, he’s never leaving this alpha again. Obi-Wan is right. They’ve both left each other too much, for too long. The jolts of arousal from this morning…it’s alarming and disgusting still. But the memory of them will fade if Anakin does not think of them too much. Right? Right.

omg !!! my original most codependent jedi obikin <3 <3

this is from one of the recovery chapters of like saints like monsters, where it shows them together 7 months after obi-wan was rescued (after 7 years of imprisonment) and before the main plot of the story takes place

they're just!!! they're so codependent on each other here it's not even funny!! the chancellor invited anakin to lunch and then guilted/manipulated him into accepting and then held him wayyyyy past the time he told obi-wan he'd be gone but they spent like 6 entire hours apart!! it was awful!!! and anakin feels so guilty because he promised obi-wan he'd come back at a certain time and he didn't

i think this is an interesting passage and chapter because it's the beginning of a lot of things: palps finds out obi-wan is alive, they spend some time apart (the longest ever) which proves they're capable of it, that morning, anakin feels arousal when obi-wan is scenting him, and obi-wan is cognizant and healed enough to mention what happened to him -- that he left the building the day he was captured, that he remembers that.

and that he remembers that and has come to the same conclusion anakin has: bad things happen when they leave one another. (basis for obi-wan tricking the council into allowing him on the mission with anakin)

also it's important because like. writing lslm, i'm like ok ok they are going to get together in the end because obviously duh--- but to feel good about that i want to show that they're NOT together when obi-wan is at his worst....and anakin doesn't want to think about his master like that at all and is being really harsh on himself when his body betrays him

in the present time, i think he's still trying to think like that -- seeing obi-wan through his rut means cuddles, not sex, even if half of him would maybe like sex...it just can't happen

(meanwhile obi-wan really really really really wants it to happen)

[tennessoui]

happy to inform that the wait is not going to be that much longer! Only a week or two and you can hold me to that cause she’s already mostly written 🤫
