Here, have some old-ass fics!

FIC RECS FROM YE OLDE LIVEJOURNAL YEARS

What: Fics posted initially on LiveJournal (or even Fanfiction.net, Sith-be-damned). Any time an author has moved their work to AO3, I used that link, as it’s far, far more permanent.  I’ve tried to include all their usernames, past and present, of which I’m aware. Summaries are for the most part author-provided, and only completed fics have been included (with one exception).

When: 2006-2009, roughly.

Who: Authors who may or may not still be involved in fandom. Some I know personally and love to death, some I respect the hell out of, and some are garbage human beings but their work still stands. Such is the way of things.

Pairing(s): Obikin, obviously. There may also be “special guest stars”, such as Quinlan Vos or Padme.

Details: I only provide the author, title, link, and summary. The rest is on you to read and decide for yourself. READ THE TAGS. There may be OT3, alcohol, etc.  

Also, please remember that acceptable themes and societal norms evolve, and there are things that may be considered problematic now. I rec them through some serious rose-colored glasses, and I’ve not reread them all with a 2022 lens.

Finally, this is hardly a definitive list, and most certainly caters to my personal tastes, so you’re not going to find much in the way of darker themes, but a whole lotta pining, fluff, hurt/comfort, misunderstandings, angst with a happy ending, and stupid Jedi in love.

Any questions, please ask! I’ll try to have an answer.

HERE WE GOOOOOOOO…

"Obi-Wan gripped Anakin's mechanical hand, and with his other he squeezed Anakin's arm above the joining of flesh and metal. 'You are wise and strong, Anakin. You are a credit to the Jedi Order, and you have far surpassed my humble efforts at instruction.' Anakin felt his own smile turn melancholy. 'Just the other day, you were saying that my power is no credit to me.' 'I'm not speaking of your power, Anakin, but of your heart. The greatness in you is a greatness of spirit. Courage and generosity, compassion and commitment. These are your virtues,' Obi-Wan said gently. 'You have done great things, and I am very proud of you.' Anakin found he had nothing to say."

Hmmmm let's see...

I'll give you two prompts and you can choose one if you wish :)

1) Anakin seeing Obi-Wan dressed up in non-Jedi clothes (maybe for the first time, or first time since he hit puberty or whatever)

2) Anakin or Obi-Wan watching the other interact sweetly with younglings and having feelings about it

ooh these are so cute :3 option 2 below the cut for you!

this is perhaps the most wholesome thing I've ever written lol

Obi-Wan made his way down the hallway of the Temple, admiring the way the sun was shining through the windows and falling warmly on the tiled floors and sturdy columns. He always liked this time of day at the Temple, when the brightness of the sun had shifted to a warm, sticky gold, imbuing the already beautiful space with a reverent glow.

He noticed with a soft brush of nostalgia that it seemed busier than it usually was these days, with so many masters, and even padawans, away at war. But today, for one reason or another, the hallway seemed bustling, and Obi-Wan saw more than a few familiar faces as he made his way to the training rooms.

As he rounded the corner, he heard a familiar voice and smiled to himself, peeking around the door but doing his best to keep out of sight.

Anakin had volunteered to teach the initiates today. They were at the Temple for a brief respite while the 501st and 212th were granted shore leave, and the Council had decided to take the opportunity for some much-needed repairs to the Resolute and the Negotiator. So, while both their men and their ships were out of active duty, Anakin and Obi-Wan had miraculously been granted reprieve, too.

Obi-Wan had been surprised by Anakin's uncharacteristic offer to teach, but then again, Anakin had been in a good mood lately (as good as anyone could be in a time of war, that is).

Obi-Wan had been in a good mood lately, too.

This thing between them was new. It wasn't something Obi-Wan had ever expected, and while it filled Obi-Wan with a slew of conflicted emotions, the strongest, to his surprise, was a bright, unreasonable joy.

The war had changed them both. Perhaps it had made them more amenable to bending the tenets of the Jedi Code. Perhaps it had made them closer, forging the intimacy that could only come from placing your life in someone's hands on the battle field again and again. Perhaps it had made them both lonely.

Perhaps it was all the above.

But of the many lessons the war had taught Obi-Wan, one in particular was this: in a time of war, you have to take the good things where you could find them.

And Anakin was a very good thing.

Obi-Wan chanced another look around the corner, and was greeted by the warm sight of Anakin, seated on the floor of the dim training room with his eyes closed, surrounded by a gaggle of younglings in the same pose. He'd been introducing the initiates to their early saber forms, but apparently that part of the lesson was done, and Anakin had moved on to a meditation.

Obi-Wan smiled to himself at the irony of Anakin Skywalker teaching anyone how to meditate.

But he appeared to be fully immersed in the job, and the younglings were following along with the all the endearing seriousness of a small child mimicking someone they desperately admire, their eyes tightly shut.

"Now," Anakin began speaking again. "Take another deep breath with me -"

The room filled with a chorus of exaggerated breaths.

"-and let it go," Anakin continued. "Reach for the force around you. Pay attention to what you feel. Can you feel it anywhere in your body? Can you feel any of your classmates in the force?"

The children, young as they were, were wise enough to know the questions were rhetorical.

"Focus on the present moment, and try to clear your head of any other thoughts. I know it can be hard, at least it always is for me. My master once explained it to me like watching a river. The river is always in motion, always changing, but you can find tranquility in watching it flow. Imagine each thought like a leaf, floating down the stream. You acknowledge it and then you let it pass."

Obi-Wan felt an overwhelming swell of fondness as he watched Anakin. He'd had many opportunities to witness Anakin's talents on the battlefield, in the salles. But he'd rarely gotten to see him like this.

The room was hushed, now. Obi-Wan could feel the stillness in the force, too. The younglings were unpracticed, their meditations clumsy, but they'd still managed to settle into the force enough to create the special sort of peace that only came from group meditation.

Part of Obi-Wan felt tempted the join, to sink himself into the soft glow of peace and companionship. But in truth, he was enjoying watching just as much.

After a while, Obi-Wan couldn't resist giving Anakin a small brush in the force. It was featherlight, so as not to startle him, just enough to let Anakin know he was there.

His touch was met with a rush of warmth from Anakin. He reached back, rubbing affectionately against Obi-Wan, wrapping around him in the force. Obi-Wan allowed the enthusiastic greeting, letting them stay entwined as Anakin slowly drifted up from his meditation.

"Alright," Anakin said with a clearing of his throat. "Now, start to come back to your awareness of the present moment, of your body. Wiggle your fingers," he instructed, and the roomful of younglings complied, raising little hands in the air. "Wiggle your toes, and take another deep breath with me."

The room was again filled with the sounds of small breaths.

"Very good. Now, open your eyes."

Anakin, and the initiates, blinked back to life. His eyes found Obi-Wan, where he was now standing in the back of the room, out of the way.

"That was very good. Thank you for letting me teach you today," Anakin said, sounding a bit bashful now that he knew Obi-Wan was watching.

"Thank you, Master Skywalker!" the younglings echoed.

Anakin dismissed the class and the children slowly filtered out, several greeting Obi-Wan with clumsy bows as they passed.

Once the room was empty, Anakin approached him.

"Obi-Wan," he said with a wide grin. "Why didn't you tell me you were here sooner?"

"Ah, well, I didn't want to make you nervous." Obi-Wan said. "And, I was enjoying observing," he added truthfully. "You did well, Anakin."

Anakin flushed at the praise, his smile going shyly tight-lipped and pleased. "Thank you, Master," he said with a nod that was almost a bow.

When they'd begun...this...Obi-Wan had drilled into Anakin the importance of concealing it from the rest of the Jedi, of keeping it discrete at the Temple. Anakin, being, well, Anakin, had responded with delight at the shared conspiracy, putting on a mischievous, forced formality that Obi-Wan presumed was fooling exactly no one.

Obi-Wan found it so charming he couldn't bring himself to care.

But it perhaps made Obi-Wan a hypocrite, then, when after only a brief glance towards the door, Obi-Wan crossed the few steps between them to drag Anakin into a small alcove in the back of the room, and pulled him into a deep, claiming kiss.

Anakin startled only briefly before responding eagerly, tangling his hands in the fabric of Obi-Wan's robes, leaning into the palm that cradled Anakin's face. Anakin was warm and close and Obi-Wan couldn't help himself from licking into Anakin's mouth, sliding his lips against his and relishing their plush softness.

His bright, ridiculous, brave, complex Anakin.

When they parted, after a few long moments, they were both breathless.

"What was that for?" Anakin asked dazedly, leaning his forehead against Obi-Wan's with his eyes still closed, sounding not at all displeased about it.

Obi-Wan smiled to himself as he stroked his thumb across Anakin's cheek. "No reason."

[justforkickles]

The fact that Vader is the voice of reason here is fucking bananas. How batshit you have to be to have Darth “You know what will solve this problem? Child murder ” Vader go “this guys nuts.”

[virgoos]

obi-wan’s force ghost post rotj: you did it, luke. you didn’t listen to the emperor and resisted the temptation to fall to the dark side.

anakin’s force ghost: yeah…I mean. he did just meet palpatine like, right then. and they talked for like five minutes. it’s not like the emperor spent fifteen years grooming him…engaging in psychological warfare to engender his trust and manipulate him…he was kind of just some guy telling him to be evil. just saying. but yeah definitely. good job luke.

[adrian-indd]

Anakin in this is just sooo good. Need more studies for Obi-Wan perhaps.. 🤔 drawing for a Star Wars fanfic, so stay tuned for more universe-specific stuff for that!!!

[uzuriartonline]

It’s the month of Obi-Wan, so I decided to illustrate him for Star Wars Day.
