Making the words go

Main @catamaranthenonnewtonianfluid ShetheCat on A03

[wickerwax]

Introduction!

Kia ora koutou! I'm Cat (or Catamaran, or Catrick or Catacomb, or most words starting with Ca- to be honest. Sometimes just a long aa will get me. I've even answered to Max (which in my defense, sounds like Mx). Point being, I collect nicknames like a particularly dragonish fair folk :3 (I'm also collecting pronouns, but not she/her)

This is where the ol' writing goes! I tag fandoms and characters and do my best to tag for anything that should be content warned for (erring on the side of caution) (and if asked, happy to tag other stuff).

Monday I post bits from my original stories Wednesday is for Codywan and/or clone-centric stuff Friday is for Quinobi and/or Jedi-centric stuff

Sometimes other stuff might show up! But that's the main schedule, as it were. If I put something up on AO3 I'll make a post also (it might count for that day's post if it lines up).

I am ShetheCat on AO3 and my main blog is @catamaranthenonnewtonianfluid

(though I warn you ahead of time, I'm not much at regular tagging on my main)(and the hyperfixations regularly get me)

I feel like its pretty obvious but I'm pro-jedi and firmly believe in such wild things like 'ship and let ship' and 'if you don't like it, there's the back button'. I'm pretty chill, y'all, I'm basically a muppet with internet access. Happy to chat ^^

Ibis problems require ibis solutions

Summary:

He pulled his notice-me-not even more tightly around himself as he began to encounter more signs of life – or, well. Droids. The occasional waste receptacle. More doors that weren’t distinguished only by a faint seam. Closer to that where that mass of lights had glowed – bright, warm, terrified – in his and Obi-Wan’s shared senses. He could still sense them ahead – the clarity of before had faded with the static cutting out, the relinquishing of their bond being held quite so close.

ask not for who the bell tolls (it tolls for thee)

An ides of March fic

When he first becomes aware of the sensation, he thinks it a mere side-effect of his own ghastly power, and it makes him strut like a bejewelled game bird for several days.

But his ritual fades into passivity, as rituals do, and the sensation - no, one cannot call the sensation passive.

It haunts.

Palpatine experiences :3

One Hundred Thirty-Four Seconds (and Counting)

Summary:

She is fully planning on comming Yan after this and taunting him with the knowledge that his youthful dramatics are being usurped by one even more lovelorn than he had managed. His expression is sure to be worth any amount of credits. Jocasta considers it part of her duties as an Archivist to look out for padawans trying to dig themselves an early grave with studies and research. (But sometimes, all you can do is document.)

Happy birthday @kenobienthusiast have a silly lil guy

Rules: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous, and tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I got tagged by @worm-strung-string you sneaky bean~ I only have two WIPs at the moment:

Quinlan in the Dumpster: Reclamation of a Trope

Looking for a fun April Fool's activity? We in the QuinObi Discord have something up our sleeves!

There's that popular trope, you know the one, where a hapless Quinlan, for reasons unknown, gets "found" by the Coruscant Guard in the dumpster. For this event, we charge you with a mission: giving Quin a REASON to be there that he decided on himself. Is he lying in wait for a mark while on a mission? Is he digging around for items that he can read with his psychometry so he can track someone down? Did he and Obi-Wan dive into one to hide from someone else (and accidentally start making out)? Do Jedi Shadows have a network of camping sites in the lower levels of Coruscant that are made to look like dumpsters in case one of them needs a last minute safe place to go where they won't be noticed?

Make this as serious or as silly as you wish! And remember, Quinlan Vos is a really, really smart guy who is great at his job (Obi-Wan certainly thinks so!). If he's in a dumpster, he has a reason for it, whether he planned it or decided last minute. Feel free to include any and all characters you like (but given the nature of this blog, any shipping is limited to QuinObi).

Word Count Min: 500

Post On: April 1st, 2026

Tag this blog on the day of, and I'll also have an Ao3 collection going!

Thanks to @kogoeru for the idea!

[kogoeru]

Dumpster is sooo Jedi shaped, perfectly safe for Jedi yes. Many shadows to hide in, perfeckt for Jedi

[wickerwax]

Dumpster make good love for shadow, safe place for shadow, friend dumpster

[wickerwax]

Linking pinkies

Summary:

He should get a drift of scent, perhaps a snippet of sound. Maybe a little lingering flash of flavour in a mouth otherwise bereft of food in the doldrums of mid-afternoon classes. Instead, Quinlan is pouring over speeder specs and theorising modifications for his assignment when a bomb goes off.

Happy Birthday to @ouzoathena11, my first attempt at a soulmate fic!

How To Psychically Damage Friends and [REDACTED] (affectionate)

Summary:

Ultimately, it was Garen’s fault, Obi-Wan decided. After all, it was his choice to throw himself onto the bench beside Quinlan and totally ignore his dinner tray in favour of sniffing loudly at Quinlan’s still-damp robe while asking, “Dude, why do you smell like Bant?” More than one voice objected immediately.

@kogoeru

[wickerwax]

Evaporite

Summary:

He would never be able to forget the way their bond had lit up with pain and shock, screamed loss as the sky – damn near every other bond he had, and more lights besides – went out and empty. Having found Obi-Wan again in the aftermath, foggy though those initial, shocky days were for all of them, was one of the few things he had left to be grateful for. Grief, coping mechanisms, and lack thereof. :3

Sometimes a favourite person likes to be whacked in the feels, and you love them and try to deliver <333333 @kogoeru

[wickerwax]

Drip, drop.

Summary:

This, Quin thought, with the resignation of a Shadow with too many shitty missions under his belt, was shaping up to go so well, too. His ragtag group of treasure-seekers and historians had been pleased with his joining – competent at navigating a jungle, a tangible shield, friendly but disinclined to steal their findings – But Finch, one of the seekers, was nearly as bad as Obi for making friends with the local wildlife, and not always so good at balancing that with common sense. Drip. Drip. He tried to breathe through the cold in his chest. He wasn’t sure how far down the crevice – or hole, or collapse or what-the-fuck-ever ran but there wasn’t any appreciable light which... well, it wasn’t a good sign.

The QuinObi Server did a secret santa and I get to reveal that I wrote this piece for lovely @kenobienthusiast <333 happy hols!

1 and 14 for the ask meme! 💗

Heyyyyyyyyyyyylovely :3

1. Favourite fic you wrote this year

I think it's gotta be Last Night On Earth (https://archiveofourown.org/works/65233141) I had waaaaaay too much fun with this and also it possessed me so. Y'know. And I got yelled at because of it :3 <3 it's probably one of the ones I've read back myself the most too, both for fun and because I keep trying to see if there's enough heartbreak on the reread, you know how it goes xD

14. A fic you didn't expect to write

Either Down in the Mud (tripped, fell, kept rolling) or Gidget, who also possessed me but in a different way. DitM was supposed to be a single contained thing and then chapter two came to me in a mad rush and also I got to be Deeply Weird About Nature in a way that my rural childhood went feral about and THEN I hit part three which was also fun because doing the same scene with characters who have *wildly*different understandings of what's happening is fun!

Toss a Coin to your Gidget came about as the crash between 'oh gods I need an outside pov to get the weird across' and Gidget themself appearing in my head abruptly like 'cmon I just wanted to drink my shig of dubious providence in peace' and now I love them and they will most likely pop up again, I make no apologies xD

based on real life (assigned title at extremely pointed accidental tag)

Summary: They're just having a fun night, a let-loose with a few drinks kinda night. Being a senior padawan is a lot, and sometimes you need to let off some steam!

Only, strip poker is proving a little confronting for Obi-Wan. This might be too much steam. He might have underestimated the steam. He needs to figure something else out.

Surely another drink will help him make a good and smart decision that won't end with him climbing his best friend.

Surely.

[wickerwax]

Toss a coin to your Gidget

Summary:

...Still, that meant there were likely more Jedi about, proper adult ones, who wouldn’t want a Mando hanging about with their walking armory. Gidget threw back their last swallow, and decided to make themselves scarce sooner rather than later.

(Gidget is just trying to send credits back to their clan. They seem to have developed the worst luck though)

@kogoeru for yoooooooooooooooooooooou

We got silly with the outsider POV <3

[wickerwax]

the time, the place, the motion (is the feeling)

Summary:

“Obi, I can’t tell you the entire plan or the goal because you’ll complain. I need to eke it out in pieces so that your curiosity gets you stuck. Like a ginger tooka.” Bant said cheerfully. She brandished the bundle of material in his arms. “Now get changed, I already found the back-up costume.” He turned from the window to give her his absolute most withering look. “You don’t think telling me that won’t change my behaviour?” Bant only beamed at him, the galaxy’s most upbeat steamroller. “Nope! You trust me enough that curiosity will override caution since you, my grumpy little understudy, are nosy.”

The senior padawan musical is the perfect vehicle for making her idiot friends realise that they are idiots about each other, and Bant doesn't even need to ruin opening night for it!

Back with another silly lil guy (click the title to get there) and happy super late birthday to my wonderful pal @lilytheefrog thank you for the bridges <333

[wickerwax]

for nothing less than thee would I have broke

Summary:

Quinlan Vos and Obi-Wan Kenobi are closer than close and everyone in Temple and out knows. Their best friends really wish they would realise just how close. (Please) (They're dying) (They can't keep living in a pine forest, it's supposed to be movie night)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @kogoeru my very dear <33333 an honour to write for you silly silly sweetness (with, you know, accidental deeps somewhere probably because I trip and fall in holes a lot)
