Oh! I’m loving your color palette art! Could I request Cody in 4, if it’s still available?

I’m just surprised it took this long for someone to ask for a clone.

[blackkatmagic]

Eee! Smut prompts! Ummmm. Something with Mace and Keeli? That short story, the day’s weary edge inverts toward grace, with them after Ryloth *killed me.* I loved their dynamic, not to mention the premise, and I’d love to see more of them together. Thanks~!

Mace/Keeli remains one of my absolute favorites, you have found my weakness. 

know I’m feeling you

Obi-Wan/Cody, first time they fought together?

Cody had heard of the fabled Obi-wan Kenobi, his skill on the battlefield, his mastery of the force. 

When he was face-to-face with him, however, he had to wonder how anyone had failed to mention how *handsome* he was. Not just his looks, but his personality was charming, and smile welcoming. It was hard to imagine that this man was such a warrior. 

But then they were thrust into battle on Tatooine when negotiations didn’t go quite as planned with some intel traders. It was supposed to have been a low-key mission, but here they were, in a bar in Mos Eisley, shooting blasters and swinging sabers. 

“I have an idea,” the General told him over his shoulder as he blocked several blaster shots that had been aimed at them. 

“I’m all ears, Sir,” Cody grunted as he tried to stay out of range of blasts while still being able to produce his own counter measures. 

“Shoot the lights down. That should slow them down long enough for us to make our grand escape. I’ll cover you.” 

Cody quickly scanned the bar and recognized the fixture of lights that Obi-wan was referring to. He took a few pot shots, effectively shattering the rusted chains that were holding the lights to the ceiling, and the fixture came down, blocking the intel traders. 

“That’s our cue, Commander,” Obi-wan smirked, and Cody almost protested when his hand was grabbed, dragged out of the bar to the safety of their ship on the outskirts of town. 

He was going pointedly ignore the heat the rushed to his face as well. 

When they were finally on board and set the coordinates to Coruscant, Cody took off his bucket. 

“With all due respect General, but aren’t you nicknamed ‘The Negotiator?’ How did those talks go so badly?”

General Kenobi’s eyes were alight with amusement as he scratched his chin. 

“It just goes to show that not everyone can be sweet talked, Cody,” he replied with a hint of a smirk on his lips, and Cody would have sworn that the General winked. He definitely winked at him, right?

Regardless, this was not at all how he imagined his first mission with the infamous General Kenobi.

hi! I don't actually know how long ago you posted the ask meme, lol, but! Next!

(No-Excuses Writing meme)

NEXT — the next line. meaning i will finish the sentence I’m on and write a new one, which you’ll get. 

“If Bastra had been around at the time, he probably would've left too; that kid had way too many morals.”

Hi! Thanks so much for the rec! I really appreciate it! For your fanfic guessing game, how about rescue, or blue? Thanks!!

Not gonna lie, I stalk you for fic. ^^ You’re good, and worth the rec.

For the ask game… I feel like I should apologize for how many WIP I have… but then I realize folks probably like reading fics in general, and somebody may like mine, so…!

Blue and Rescued are in my SG1/Jyu-Oh-Sei rough draft:Getting rescued was all the hurrah, but unfortunately they had been parted from their own gear, and that meant they were a little slim on extra bullets that may or may not have worked in alien possibly-glocks.

Then, when winter hits, Third and his team and their attache leave through a pool of water that is /definitely/ not water; just step through from the pale blue of Chimera’s gate room into an alien ecosystem.

Blue is in my RW/SG1 rough draft:Raven hair was loose in a mullet- did the Japanese even know what a mullet was? -and bright blue eyes that glittered in a way Daniel wasn’t sure about.

Blue is in my gundam wing daemon fic! Twice, even:His eyes were blue, open and innocent.

Something curled in his belly, taught with nerves; then blue eyes caught troubled hazel, held them, and that knot loosened.

Blue is in another scene snippit from my Dragon’s Breath series, the Dragon Age/Ronin Warrior crossover I’m working on. It’s in the immediate sequel to Sympathy for the Devil:

The blue looked good on him– not bright, but not dark either.

Outside of crossovers, blue is in my Dragon Age Every Warden Ever sequel:The blond traces the blue on her right cheek, watching the two former nobles out of the corner of her eye.

Blue appears three times in my Fallout 4 a/b/o fic that’s undergoing some rework: I flashed blue eyes up and registered Carslile first, looming with that twisted smile on his face.

I stood up and turned so fast I nearly slipped on the wet floor, but instead I felt myself pale as I settled blue eyes on the damned handsome face that haunted my nightmares.

His Corvega was blue, bright as the ocean, and I climbed in the passenger seat as he stored my luggage in the trunk.

It appears three times in my tiny Joan-goes-shopping Fallout 3 fic. I think it’s almost finished, but there’s something missing in the fic I haven’t figured out yet:She turned wide blue eyes to take in the store, moving in a careful, deliberate circle.A basket of neatly folded cloth caught her attention. She stepped to it and knelt down, touching soft fabrics– /Abraxo soap/– and bright colors that weren’t blue.

Julian’s eyes danced, electric-blue, and that made it all worth it.

Blue is in my Fallout 3 wip for Junior getting out of the vault: He loves his sister, of course, and he loves the blue sky and the fresh, dry air, dirt beneath his boots like dirt beneath his fingers.

Big Town Blues, a Fallout 3/4 fic following Mac, has blue in it twice:There was a rain collector, too, and an expanse of blue tarp funneling it in.

Mac settled wide blue eyes on Biwwy and then slid them over to Tewwy, wondering who the young man was to garner so much trust that Biwwy would tell him about the caverns.

Blue appears once in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, a Fallout 4 fanfic:He turned blue eyes up to the man, tall as he was, and Artem watched them both, already moving to scoop Quinn up out of his arms and off his feet.

Chapter three of Devil’s Luck, yet another Fallout 4 fanfic, has Blue appear once:There were a lot of questions in that blue gaze that he wasn’t prepared to explain, though he thought he knew what all the questions would be if the younger soldier spoke them out loud.

Blue appears one time in Dawnfire, my Cor/Nyx FFXV fic: Blue eyes blinked at him, one focusing quicker than the other.

(Rescue is in my notes for Savage Coeurl of Galahd, my “Cor is from Galahd” fanfic, but not in the fic proper. Alas.)

(Blue pops up a lot of times in my scenes for Ambulo, wherein “Ardyn from another universe ended up in canon game timeline” ffxv fic, but a lot of my work got jossed so I’m not sure what’s gonna stay yet. :/ )

Wolflords, a Lord of the Ring Lupercalia fic, has Blue in it once:He much preferred the stories of of the elves and their wolves, sunshine-gold and moon-bright silver, midnight blue dappled with stars, all long-lived and all elegant and graceful like the elves themselves.

Caran Dagra, part of my LotRO setup, has blue twice. It’s probably going to undergo a heavy rewrite before I ever post it, but here’s the wip: The others, Levine and Manco, sat down next to him, pallets of brown and yellow, green and blue eyed respectively.

A simple oval slice, about as big as a quarter, with a penny-length shard of blue in the center, gemstone fused to heartwood.

Nest of Vipers, a companion fic to my Overwatch fic Aitai, has blue: Host of the blue dragons, who secured his position by casting down his own younger brother.

A tiny Haruko-related fic has Blue also:Finally the glove came down with a swipe of her fingers, revealing the blue-finned tail and scales of something.

In my current draft of Blood and Ashes, a Lupercalia Ronin Warriors fic, blue pops up: So he went and he wore what was appropriate for the occasion, fire red and orange and blue, with the threaded white braid worn over his left shoulder, showing all he’d been born to his place.

Blue pops up three times in Homecoming, part of a multiverse fic series I’m doing with my sister because we’re both a pair of dorks. Homecoming is a Ronin Warriors fic:She must have felt it too, because she looked up from the person she was talking to and fixed her attention on him, ocean-blue eyes boring into him, knowing and excited, her smile lighting up the airport floor.

Both tall, both dark haired, both blue-eyed, both terribly attractive.

His face was sharp and when he looked up at him, molten blue eyes pinned Cye right through the chest.

Blue pops up twice in an Arrow/RW crossover for the multiverse:Dark blue, linen and lots of silk. The only thing that is out of place is a pale blue ruff around his throat, a scarf instead of a tie– silk, he figures, from the look of it.

ohhh, Rex, 79, 7B? Thank you?

Oooooh, Or Cody, 62, 1G? Either one. Thank you~~!

(From THIS meme, Slots closed now!) Sure, why not do a double-header?

This is a really cool exercise in the meaning of “white” and the urge to dip from each other’s pallets was really strong, bu this was a lot of fun and I like how it turned out.

For the silly prompts: codywan, cuddling for warmth? Thank you!!!

Melo-za is a planet with mild temperatures during the days… and freezing nights. Thankfully, it will not be the first time they are forced to sleep in such terrible conditions and the 212th has plans in place to prevent anyone from dying of hypothermia, or even just waking with frostbite, in those cases.

The officers all sleep in the same tent, sleeping gear thrown onto the impervious tarp making up the ground, until not even the cold can seep through, then cuddling close to each other in their blacks, heat turned up, under the covers. The men are bunking up in the same fashion, only a fourth of the actual tents pulled up, to group them until it’s almost too hot in there.Cody is falling asleep when Boil yawns.“Is the General taking first watch ?”Cody frowns at the question. “No, that’s Geode and Trip’s squads.”“Then where is he ? Not sleeping alone in that cold, is he ?”Cody realises that… he actually doesn’t know. And that would just be General Kenobi, wouldn’t it ? He gets up with a shiver and leaves the tent, scowling when he sees that there is still light in the Command center.

*

Obi-Wan’s eyes widen as he takes on the sight of Cody, blacks slightly dusted with frost and shivering, as the Commander glares at him.“Cody, what are you doing, you’re going to freeze to death !”He manhandles the clone next to the heater set up near his untouched bunk, sitting him on it and taking the covers off to drape them around Cody’s shoulders.

“Well, I wouldn’t have had to get out, in my blacks, in the cold, if someone had been sleeping instead of burning the midnight oil.”Obi-Wan huffs.“It’s not that late, and…”“Sir. It’s almost one a.m. local time and around three a.m. on the ship’s night cycle we’re still accustomed to. It’s late.”

Obi-Wan sighs. “It’s… a bit too nippy for me to sleep comfortably, even with the heater. I have no desire to wake up frozen solid, or even just sore, cold and grumpy.”“Which is why all of us have quadrupled the usual numbers for the sleeping arrangements, to stay warm, and why I assumed you were in one of the tents.”

Obi-Wan shakes his head. He knew, of course, but sleeping among brothers, and sleeping with your General in a pile aren’t quite the same thing, and he would not intrude…Cody must read his mind, because the clone growls and moves.With a yelp, Obi-Wan goes from seated next to his Commander to sprawled on his back on the bed, Cody pressed against his side, arms around his shoulders and the cover above them.“Cody ?” he says -he doesn’t squeak, that would be undignified, “What are you doing ?”“Sleeping, sir.” is the growled answer. “And making sure you do as well.”“But…”“Sleep.”“I…”“Obi-Wan.”It’s useless, arguing with Cody when he’s in that kind of mood. Using Obi-Wan’s first name is a dead giveaway : the clone will not be moved.Obi-Wan has to admit… between the heater cranked up, next to the bed, and his Commander tucked close, with the way the clones’ body temperature is higher than a regular human and the bodysuit heating function…He’s finally getting warmer.With a sigh and a slight use of the Force, Obi-Wan turns the lights out. He can indulge his Commander for a few minutes, until Cody falls asleep, then work on his reports on a datapad.

*

Obi-Wan is asleep under two minutes, cuddling close without even noticing. Cody huffs, amused, then rearranges them a little before nuzzling closer, allowing himself that little bit of selfishness as he wraps his arms around Obi-Wan.

*

In the officer's’ tent, there is quite a bit of snickering when, after half an hour, Cody is still not back.“Boil, that wasn’t even remotely subtle.” sighs Waxer, turning on his side.The other clones smirks at him.“Not at all. But eh, if it works…”He does have a bet riding on their superiors ending up together, after all.

Ask me silly prompts !

For the writing meme: Before the beginning?

Anomaly wants to forget who he is for a little while.  It’s why he does this every time he’s on leave - dresses up in the least amount of clothes he can get away with and still be allowed in the bar - and the rules of decency don’t matter much there - does his makeup to show off all his best features, and heads out to get drunk and laid.  It’s off the back of an especially stressful mission, and he wants to make it all go away.  

The ARC walking over is tall and big, and Anomaly can’t help his smirk.  That’ll do it.
