“A ghost and werewolf in love. Who would have thought?”
“We’re like some dark and edgy attempt of a retelling of beauty and the beast.”
“Yes. Except beauty is dead and the beast, well, mauls people. Also we don’t have singing furniture.”

Tony in Star Wars 4/?
Feeling crappy right now. Depression sucks.
Decided to cheer myself up by posting more fic, since it’s the only thing I have any motivation for at the moment.
@peskylilcritter - we’re back in Star Wars ‘verse!
Star Wars Note- Attempting to draw an inclusive timeline of the Clone Wars is hard. Important to note is that I have made Obi-Wan and Anakin’s time with the 212th and 501st begin much earlier in the timeline than is canonical. Some events are EU and some events are canonical. You don’t need to be particularly educated about the details of events, just be aware that stuff is going on behind the scenes, and that it will show up “on-screen” if it’s important.
Marvel Universe Note- This is canonical up to and including Avengers (2012), but not including any of the movies or TV or associated media following it. I may include characters and concepts from later MCU ‘events,’ but this is not canonical Phase Two and beyond. That said, there are characters and plot concepts taken from Age of Ultron, so please be aware of spoilers.
3rd Month, Day 22, 25032 Galactic Standard. Orbiting Alzoc, Alzoc System, Sujimis Sector.
“He did what?” Anakin refused to acknowledge that he might have just shouted. A little.
Obi-Wan gave him the smile that most of the troops had begun to refer to as ‘The General’s Crazy Smile.’ “He made an explosive using three cleaning bots, a broken lightbulb, and a power cell from my lightsaber.”
“And it blew up the whole fucking complex,” Cody cut in, his head still in his hands. Anakin (and Ahsoka, and Rex, and every person on the Force-damned ship) had offered him the use of a ‘fresher and a bunk, but Cody seemed to be in a state of ‘Kenobi-shock.’ (That being the state one fell into when Obi-Wan inevitably did something so stupid and insane that it actually worked, and of course left massive amounts of destruction behind it.) “It blew up the whole fucking complex.”
From her position in the pilot’s seat, Ahsoka snorted. “Someone get poor Cody a drink before he combusts from sheer shock.”
The door slid open. “Everyone is either in the med wing or sleeping, General,” Rex stated, stepping into the room. He raised an eyebrow at Obi-Wan. “Growing the beard again, sir?”
Obi-Wan rubbed at his still-growing beard. It currently looked, in Anakin’s opinion, as if Obi-Wan had gathered some of the hair from a haircut and pasted it hastily to his chin and cheeks.
“They thought I was a Padawan,” Obi-Wan said, after a moment. “No offense, Ahsoka, but that’s a bit insulting, at my age.”
“Your age being the creaky old age of thirty seven,” Ahsoka returned, stepping out of the pilot’s seat. She turned to Anakin. “Orbit is on auto, for now, Master.”
“Good.” Anakin turned to Obi-Wan, who hadn’t bothered with a retort, only to find the older man asleep on his feet. Literally. “Rex, can you -”
Rex didn’t even blink, picking up Obi-Wan as if the Jedi was a small child. Obi-Wan didn’t so much as stir as Rex carried him to the nearest bunk.
Cody, Anakin noticed, had fallen asleep on the table. Anakin turned to Ahsoka. “We appear to be surrounded by overtired and sleeping people, Padawan.”
“Who rescued themselves, too!” Ahsoka chirped. “Permission to take a night shift and go to fucking bed, sir?”
“As long as you ration that kind of language,” Anakin said, wincing. “When we get back to Coruscant, everyone’s going to blame that kind of thing on me.”
Ahsoka snorted, walking out of the room. “Sorry, Master, but you’re the prude on this ship.” She grinned at him as the door slid shut behind her.
Anakin shut his eyes, and carefully envisioned Padmé. For her sake, he would keep his temper, despite the fact that Obi-Wan had dragged in the most irritating man Anakin had ever met. For her sake, he would look after himself, and more importantly, his health.
And in this case, that meant sleep.
Time to turn in.
4th Month, Day 1, 25032 Galactic Standard. Exiting Merthian Sector, Entering Iseno Sector.
Anakin frowned from across the room as Stark and a good chunk of 212th laughed together over something Stark had said.
“Thinking?” Obi-Wan sat down beside him, staring at his ration bar as if it was a dangerous creature instead of necessary nutrients.
“Wondering,” Anakin said shortly, attempting to wipe his frown from his face. “Obi-Wan, the man is a menace. Why do you like him?” And why, Anakin couldn’t help but think, are you being a giant hypocrite and teaching him how to use the Force?
Obi-Wan smiled fondly. “He reminds me of Master Micah, a bit. Wildly inappropriate sense of humor, oddly diverse set of skills, and a strange ability to make friends with those he argues with - though, that last one was a trait that Master Qui-Gon shared with Master Micah.” His face darkened. “And, Anakin, if you have a problem with my teaching him control, please use your words instead of bleeding it into the Force. Ahsoka woke me up last night and asked why you were upset about it.”
Anakin flushed. “Well, it’s not right! Everyone dithered and complained about teaching me about the Force, saying I was too old, and I was only nine!”
Obi-Wan stared at him for a long moment. “Anakin, there was never any doubt about teaching you.” Anakin opened his mouth to argue, but Obi-Wan raised a hand. “There was doubt about training you as a Jedi.”
“What’s the difference?” Anakin tried to sound flippant, and had a feeling that he just came off as sulky.
“Enormous!” Obi-Wan’s eyes flashed for a moment, before his annoying calm returned. “Anakin, people who are as powerful as you are in the Force are a tremendous danger if they go untrained. They end up a danger to themselves, or they end up like - like Asajj Ventress. The problem with older people being trained is that they are not brought up in the ways of the Jedi. The culture, Anakin, and the mindset. Most people who are found at nine or ten years old are trained in control, given a permanent way of communicating with the Order, and sent off to live their lives if they do not wish to be employed by the Order.”
Anakin couldn’t help but gape. “What?”
Obi-Wan seemed to shrink into himself a bit. “Sometimes, I wonder if we have not done you a disservice, by training you as a Jedi and not simply in control and allowing you to live as other people do. Perhaps…”
“No!” Anakin interrupted. “I was meant to be a Jedi!”
Obi-Wan stood up, his ration bar uneaten. He looked at Anakin sadly. “But if you were not Jedi, there would be none of the hardship you often have with rules and teamwork. You could live your life as a free man. Marry. Have a family. We are well aware that the Jedi life is not for everyone, Anakin.”
He turned away, walking briskly towards the exit of the room. As he walked past the group of clones and Stark, Stark brightened. “Hey, wizard!”
Anakin shoved away his confusion - he could think about that later - and scowled at Stark. More than anyone else, the person that Stark reminded him of was Knight Garen Muln, for much of the same reasons that Obi-Wan had listed about the late Master Micah Giett. The biggest differences, Anakin thought, was that Garen was not a tech-head, was unlikely to boast aside from in jest, and did not have Stark's irritating propensity to nickname everyone. Anakin would have thought it an insult, if it wasn't for the fact that there was clearly affection in Stark's voice when he called Obi-Wan "wizard."
Anakin refused to think about the fact that Obi-Wan often returned the nickname with "bot-brain." It made something burn in the back of his throat when he thought too long about it.
the shot of kanan ezra and zeb landing on top of the walker and rex smiling and saying "just like the old days"....yeah. that got me.
