Vex Verlain's Fic Recs
Fic recommendations by Vex Verlain. Please see the collection's Profile page for more information and to browse by ship.
Wondering why your story is recommended here but I haven't left a comment? Chances are, I just wasn't in the right headspace. I used to make it a point of commenting on every single story I read, but now I generally can't manage to comment on anything (even if it's the best thing I've ever read). Plus, I tend to read on my phone, which means I can't track quotes/thoughts/etc.

Bookmarker's Notes
The first story is so heartbreakingly beautiful.
The second story is fucking adorable. (Side note: I LOVE QUINLAN!!!)
(Although this series is marked as incomplete, these two stories will leave you satisfied.)
Part I: Go Fuck Yourself Obi-Wan
When a strange artifact brings a twenty-three year old Padawan Kenobi to a Jedi temple fifteen years in the future, the council decides the best person to keep the troublesome young man contained is Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi himself.
Over one strange night, Obi-Wan gets to know himself on a— deeper level.
Part II: What the Fuck, Obi-Wan!?
“I’m sure you remember the little—” Obi-Wan begins, his voice strong despite the hesitance Anakin can feel hanging around the man, “the mixup with Padawan Kenobi?”
“Of course. What does that have to do with—”
Suddenly, Anakin remembers something else— standing in the center of this room, just a few feet from where he sits now, lecturing a still-waking Obi-Wan about answering his comm, when a startlingly shirtless Padawan Kenobi had stepped out of his master’s bedroom with pink cheeks and a wide satisfied smile.
“Wait— you slept with him!?”

Holy. Fuck. An epic. A gorgeous, in-character, REAL exploration of how what could so easily be tragedy can instead be relief, so long as you are persistent.

*incoherent screaming* This was epic and gorgeous and painful and beautiful. THANK YOU to all of those who continue to write stories like this; it truly keeps me alive.

Summary
“This is crazy,” says Steve, not mincing words. They were speaking of leaping through time to bring Loki back, in a wild attempt to win the war. “This plan is crazy.”
“Perhaps ‘crazy’,” Thor growls, “is the very thing we need.”
