for the wip game, i'm very curious about bobajeditraining and finntimetravel (and a couple others too, but i'm restraining myself)
Bobajeditraining is currently titled But Maybe It’s Mine To Win and is about a kid Boba who does think of the other clones as his brothers, but he and Fives played a prank on Nala Se and she threatened to decommission anyone she caught him playing with then heavily implied she had Fives decommissioned (Boba doesn’t realize Fives is alive). Boba’s force sensitive which tends to give him nightmares about the future. He thinks the reason his dad is leaving him at the Jedi temple is because Mace seduced him, not that he’s there for training. He ends up getting befriended by Caleb. Here’s a bit of the intro:
“May I ask you a question?”
Boba is sure this is his father’s fault. The only explanation Boba has for why his father is enamored with Mace Windu is that at some point their fighting turned into flirting and then that turned into attempting to capture Dooku together. This means Boba needs to stay behind. Boba would really like to know why this means he’s staying at the Jedi temple on Coruscant and not on Kamino, but here he is waiting while Master Billaba gets him a few things and a room assignment. Now he’s got some kid looking at him wanting to ask questions. He’s not sure if this is going to lead to some bizarre Jedi hazing ritual. He really hopes there’s no hazing ritual. Boba wants to be back on Kamino where there is at least the chance he’ll get to watch his brothers and maybe be able to sneak in to watch some of the training his father isn’t sure he’s ready for yet. Boba frowns at the boy as he gives permission. “I guess you can. Doesn’t mean I’ll answer.”
Boba really thought that the Jedi were their enemy, but apparently now the Sith are the enemy? It’s both confusing and unsettling.
Boba blinks. Is this a trick?
“Yeah,” Boba answers slowly, suspiciously.
The boy’s face screws up in contemplation. Boba is about to defend his right to lie, when the boy holds out a hand. “I’m Caleb.”
Boba stares at Caleb’s hand in longing. A simple offer of touch shouldn’t fill him with such want, but he’s seen his brothers. They touch each other all the time, are practically on top of each other all the time. The few times he’s managed to sneak into their ranks he’s been included. He misses Hardcase. Hardcase gives the best hugs. He misses studying tactics with Keeli. He misses cuddling with Kix. He misses getting into mischief with Fives. He doesn’t want to see Caleb offering a handshake and miss his brothers. He doesn’t want to get stuck on the way the last time a Kaminoan caught him and took him back to his father he got told he shouldn’t want to intermingle with the cannon fodder. He doesn't want to think about the weight behind her threats. It still leaves him feeling helpless.
Finntimetravel doesn’t have a title yet. It’s a Finn, who’s been partially trained by Ezra, accidently ends up sending himself back in time and ends up landing right in the middle of a battle with the 212th. Cody immediately decides that he and Obi-Wan are adopting Finn. I’m intending it to be Cody/Obi-Wan, Finn/Rex. Here is a bit of the intro:
The shiny just suddenly appears in the middle of the battle. His armor is spotless and his helmet is wrong. Cody tackles him to get him out of the line of fire. They’ll have to deal with suddenly appearing men after they’ve won. Thankfully, despite his armor not even having a hint of paint so Cody can know who to yell at for losing their shiny, he does have two DC-17 blaster pistols. They look slightly modified. Cody grabs the shiny’s hand and slaps it against one of the pistols. “Stick close. We’ll get you sorted once we’ve won.”
“Separatists!” Cody points. “The battle droids won’t care that you just showed up.”
“Battle…” he starts, then breaks off cussing when he sees the droids, then goes silent when he sees General Kenobi cutting his way through a swarth of them with his lightsaber. “Yeah. Got it. Battle droids.”
He sticks close to Cody, shooting with an accuracy that makes Cody want to keep him around. Then one of his pistols ignites into a blue lightsaber and he’s blocking shots and firing back at the same time. Cody’s breath catches. It’s not something he’s seen a vod do before. Maybe he’s not a shiny? That doesn’t explain the unscuffed armor. Either way Cody is getting him transferred to the 212th. Or maybe there’s a Jedi that wants to wear armor and that’s why it’s different from the standard armor? It still doesn’t explain why it’s unscuffed and blindingly white. What battalion would let their Jedi get into armor without painting it? Whatever battalion lost him is going to have to fight Cody to get him back. Wasn’t Kenobi talking about getting a Padawan before Ahsoka showed up and Anakin ended up with a Padawan instead?
