The Bar at the End of the War by warpgirl9

Summary
"What happened to her?" asked the stranger again, gentler this time, maybe sensing the question had become something else entirely.
"War happened," Trapper said, and everyone nodded because there was no argument left in it.
--
They call it The Last Shift because it never really closes. It's a barracks softened into a bar, a place where old soldiers practice remembrance without speeches.
On a rainy night during the Galactic Civil War, someone asks the survivors of the 212th what happened to a Jedi they once knew. They answer with small truths, their General’s memo above the bottles, and a space kept for what might still walk through the door.

How Commander Cody Met Commander Vey (Probably) by warpgirl9
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
17 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Commander Cody could have met Serra Vey in any number of dramatic ways—burning settlements, classified archives, desperate last stands. The galaxy had options.
Instead, she arrived on a Thursday.
No emergency. No firefight. Just an anxious Service Corps Jedi who talks to machinery, a Commander doing his job, and the slow process of figuring each other out. Sometimes the boring version is the one that sticks.

Shipwide Memo 209-F: Comms Brevity, or How Not to Narrate Your Own Heroics
Channels are for information, not memoir. Use callsigns, locations, and verbs. Do not broadcast: “I’m going in, this is it, tell Waxer—” Save that breath for moving.
Examples:
• Good: “Gold Two, south stairwell blocked, rerouting east.”
• Bad: “Sooo anyway—” (anything that follows “so anyway” is not brevity.)Regards,
General Obi-Wan KenobiP.S. If you can exclaim, you can exhale. Do the latter first.
--
Obi-Wan’s hilariously passive-aggressive memos inspire a cult following aboard the Negotiator—part safety manual, part stand-up routine. When a newly assigned Jedi adds a simple addendum—“Remember your humanity”—the words spread across decks, battalions, and hearts, reframing the voice Obi-Wan didn’t know he was writing in.
Celebrating the small, boring acts that keep people alive.

The Tooka Incident by warpgirl9

Summary
Waxer put his glove inside the square of darkness and made the universal kissy sound of someone who has never once in his life correctly estimated a creature’s patience.
Something warm and dispiritingly adorable head-butted his palm.
Boil sighed the sigh of all long-suffering best friends. “If it bites, I’m leaving your body in the vent as a teaching aid.”
--
A mysterious purr in Avionics turns into a full-ship caper when Boil and Waxer “temporarily” adopt a stowaway tooka. Sergeant Box invokes labels, Cody invokes regulations, and Obi-Wan writes the inevitable memo: Capture, Don’t Cuddle.

Summary
Two taps. A drag. A counting song on the intercom. In the blue-lit guts of the Negotiator, a story becomes a warning becomes a rule: don’t go alone, don’t answer if the door knocks first.

Summary
“I hit you,” Cody said quietly, like he was still trying the words on and finding them unacceptable. “In the face.”
Serra resisted the urge to touch her eye again. The skin there throbbed, tender-stretched. “You hit a target that presented itself,” she said. “We asked your men to trust that I wasn’t going to break if they touched me. Imagine how that would look if you started treating me like I was made of glass.”
“They also just watched me deck their Jedi commander,” he said.
“Good.”
--
Four weeks into her posting on the Negotiator, Jedi Commander Serra Vey is still adjusting to life with the 212th: mornings that smell like caf and metal, briefings where her job is to care about battle plans and evac routes, and a clone commander whose instincts are as sharp as his armor lines.
Meant to be a quiet Service Corps Jedi who fixed dams and power grids, Serra now finds herself juggling custom armor fittings, chaotic book clubs, and training drills that prove the clones won’t pull their punches. As her first major operation with the battalion looms, she has to decide what it means to stand inside the machine of the war.

Summary
Waxer broke first. "We could trade stories."
Trapper snorted. "What are we, shinies on our first deployment?"
"You got something better?" Waxer shot back. "I'm just saying—long night, captive audience, and half of us have actually lived through things worth telling." He glanced at Serra, something mischievous in his expression. "Besides, the Commander probably has a hundred Jedi stories. Bet they're more interesting than your speeder crash, Trapper."
"That speeder crash saved a supply convoy," Trapper protested.
"After you drove it into a fuel depot."
"Near a fuel depot—"
---
Weatherbound in a warehouse with nothing but time and an industrial heater, members of the 212th trade stories to pass the hours. Through tales funny, strange, and haunting, a new commander finds her place—and a battalion remembers that even in the middle of a war, there are quiet moments worth holding onto.

On Loan (or, How to Break the 501st and Cody’s Risk Calculations) by warpgirl9

Summary
Jedi Commander Serra Vey is temporarily reassigned to the 501st for a joint op with Anakin Skywalker. It’s only supposed to be three days: get in, sabotage a shield generator, get out. Easy.
The 501st is loud, chaotic, and startlingly quick to adopt her. But when the plan goes sideways, Serra has to stop performing “Commander Vey” and just be herself to get them out alive—ridiculous ideas, creative swearing, desperate charges and all.
Back on the Negotiator, Commander Cody has to decide which is more dangerous: a Jedi who might get herself killed running across collapsing pipes, or the realization that he doesn’t want the careful, edited version of her at all.
Temporary reassignment was never meant to change anything. It just…does.

The First Annual 212th Battalion Talent Show by warpgirl9

Tags
Summary
The 212th Morale Committee (Waxer, Boil) puts on a talent show. No judges, no prizes, one rule: no Force assists.
There is also a cape. The cape is a fire hazard.
Cody gets roped into headlining. Serra makes physics feel like magic. Obi-Wan's beard gets foam in it. And somewhere between the chaos and the music, the 212th remembers what home sounds like.
AKA the one where Cody sings.

Summary
A routine survey mission goes sideways when Jedi Commander Serra Vey and Obi-Wan Kenobi crash-land in an ice canyon full of giant blind predators.

Summary
Five clone commanders walk into 79’s for “ethical complaining only.”

Summary
Jedi Commander Serra Vey thought Coruscant would be a rare break from frontline disasters—until she publicly clashes with Pong Krell over how clones are treated and gets recruited by her oldest friend, Quinlan Vos, for an off-book jewel heist at a high-society event.
Soon she’s juggling Temple politics, ill-advised flirting "drills" from the 212th, and going undercover at a glamorous underworld auction where one wrong move could cost clone lives... or her own.

Summary
“Every war zone I’ve been in? No guardrails.” Serra points with the macros. “Naboo power complex? Bottomless plasma shaft, no rails. Kamino? Hurricane ocean and ‘good luck, cadets.’ Geonosis builds an entire factory over molten metal. Coruscant underlevels? One durasteel strip over a hundred-meter drop.
And now this.”
She lowers the macros. “At this point I don’t know if we’re fighting the Separatists or an industrial design cult.”
--
It was supposed to be a straightforward sabotage mission.
Instead, Commander Serra Vey discovers a new low in galactic workplace safety, Cody discovers just how fast his heart can stop and start in one day, and Obi-Wan Kenobi writes the most aggressive infrastructure memo in the Grand Army’s history.

Summary
“This would be easier,” she tells the holo-projector, “if I were not in love with my co-commander.”
The projector, in its defense, does not contradict her. It also does not fix its own warped focusing ring.
--
Jedi Commander Serra Vey is very good at keeping her balance—on the battlefield, in the briefing room, and around the clone commander she’s quietly falling for.

The Ugliest Sweater in the Galaxy by warpgirl9
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
16 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Jedi Commander Serra Vey runs cold. This is fine- that's what Jedi robes are for.
Except the 212th notices. And then tries to do something about it.
First it’s a blanket and a quietly “recalibrated” climate control system; then it’s tea appearing in whatever room she’s in, a mess-hall seat that’s apparently sacred, and one aggressively orange sweater that absolutely does not stay private like she intended.
A very fluffy story about letting people care.

Tags
Summary
Jedi Commander Serra Vey is terrifying on the battlefield and perpetually freezing on the Negotiator—until the 212th lands on Lhorra-7, a jungle moon that feels like walking into someone’s mouth. The heat has her stripping down to a tank top and combat pants just to survive, which the battalion handles with all the dignity of a bunch of men who have never seen their Jedi’s actual shoulders.
Then the Separatists roll out a new weapon...
With armor, robes, and Jedi restraint all stripped away, the battalion gets a front row seat to what, exactly, lives beneath all those layers—and what happens to anyone stupid enough to gas a Jedi.

Summary
Obi-Wan Kenobi was laughing when she first realized he was famous.
--
Jedi Commander Serra Vey transfers into the 212th expecting Obi-Wan Kenobi the Negotiator—master tactician, impossible composure, witty commentary. A year of briefings, battlefields, and quiet cups of tea introduces her to the man beneath the myth: the weight, the doubt, the sleepless nights—and the strange honor of becoming someone a legend trusts at his side.

Summary
Obi-Wan paused. "I'm trying to picture the sort of man who weeps and looks at property after four months with Serra. He obviously has excellent taste… but his file photo makes him look like he could be blown away by a strong cross-breeze," he went on thoughtfully.
"Probably some desk type," Cody said. "Soft hands. Never been in the field."
"True." Obi-Wan's expression remained carefully neutral. "I'm sure he's perfectly ordinary."
"Bound to be, sir."
--
When Jedi Commander Serra Vey’s ex from her Service Corps days turns up on the Negotiator as mission support, she just wants to get through the week without mixed signals, battalion-wide gossip, or making Commander Cody any more weirdly tense than he already is.
Spoiler alert: It does not go as planned.

The Magic Rocks by warpgirl9

Tags
Summary
Jedi Serra Vey is done freezing on every kriffing ice-ball deployment, so she digs through the Archives, finds “warming stones,” and decides to make some for the 212th—how hard can it be? (Very. The first rocks explode. The fifth one melts. By attempt fourteen she’s collecting pebbles like a morally upright crow.)
She finally reveals her enchanted stones on Mygeeto and watches hardened clone troopers react like she just handed them portable sunlight.
And then chaos ensues. The 501st is definitely not jealous, Wolffe would rather die than ask, Ahsoka has no pride and simply requests one, and Anakin immediately invents a glowing variant everyone begs him not to.
Comfort, chaos, and an accidental tradition—powered by rocks.

Steel Meridian by warpgirl9
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
27 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
"Steel Meridian" is a perfectly adequate HoloNet drama. It has decent action sequences, a charming lead, and a Jedi character who bears absolutely no resemblance to anyone serving with the 212th Attack Battalion.
Nobody believes that last part.
The important thing is that for the first time, there's a show that treats clones as people worth caring about — and a fandom discovers what fiction can do for those who were never given language for the things they feel.
Also, someone is writing the most emotionally devastating fanfic in the Grand Army of the Republic. And two officers are doing an absolutely terrible job of watching a love story about themselves.
