    Summary

    If Luke – Force, his son – was talking about slave chips, something must have gone wrong in the future.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    10
    Anakin curses internally that the Force decided to pair Marshall Commander Cody and High General Obi-Wan Kenobi together. He’s not sure if he’ll ever survive the combined heat of their glares.
    ---
    Anakin snorts as Appo’s other eyebrow raises to join the first at the clear affection already present in the commander’s voice. It’s evident for all to see that Cody has decided Luke is his now.
    ---
    “‘Train the boy,’ Qui-Gon said,” Obi-Wan mutters, left eye twitching, “‘It will be fine,’ he said. I am not nearly drunk enough to deal with this.”

    “Maybe we should save the drinking until after we’ve figured this out,” Cody says rationally
    ---
    “You’re Rex?!” Luke gasps out, eyes wide with what Anakin suspects is a bit of hero-worship. And no, he’s definitely not jealous that his own son seems more enamoured with everyone else other than him. “I’ve heard stories about you! Did you really get thrown off a lot of buildings?”

    Rex’ expression immediately sours, and Anakin can’t help but snort at the glare that gets shot his way. “He definitely did,” he confirms, grinning up at his captain who is evidently now feeling the same betrayal Anakin had felt. “Hey, bud, maybe while you’re here you can help me throw him off another one!”

    Luke’s eyes get even wider at the prospect, and Rex seems torn between committing homicide and treason by murdering his general or bowing to the whims of the six-year-old child staring up at him pleadingly. Hell, even Anakin had never quite managed to perfect that pitiful round-eyed gaze. He just knows that handling Luke is a nightmare no matter who his guardians are.
    ---
    “I see,” Crys says icily, and Anakin is suddenly glad he’s only ever had to deal with one of the medics at the time. He’ll keep Kix, thanks, and leave Crys somewhere far away from him.
    ---
    “Yeah,” he says eventually, blinking rapidly before looking up at Obi-Wan. “Yeah, Master, you’re right. Sorry.”

    “That’s quite alright, my dear,” Obi-Wan assures him with a warm smile, squeezing his arm once more before finally releasing him and rolling his shoulders back. “Now, how about we go and rescue your son before he gets roped into wearing a miniature version of the clone armour.”

    Anakin huffs out a laugh as he shakes out his limbs briefly, releasing his tension. “I don’t know,” he says teasingly, head tilted so as to seem considering. “That could be pretty cute.”

    “No,” Obi-Wan shuts that idea down immediately, eyes narrowing. “He gets mini Jedi robes, or nothing.”

    “Aw, possessive over your future nephew already, are we, Master?” Anakin drawls out smugly,
    ---
    He really is a bad Jedi if he’s looking forward to a fight.

    Then again, Obi-Wan trained him. And for all that he’s been nicknamed the Negotiator by the press, Anakin has seen him slice off enough arms with his lightsaber to know that it’s all a load of banthashit.

    If there’s one thing Anakin hopes Luke doesn’t inherit from him or pick up from Obi-Wan, it’s their sense of recklessness. He’s pretty sure it’s a futile hope, though, considering what he’s seen. Maybe he’ll have enough positive traits from Padmé to balance it all out – although considering Anakin’s first introduction to her was lying her way past Jedi to see the hive of criminals that is Mos Eisley, he’s not feeling that positive about it. Maybe they’re all made for each other.
    ---
    Suddenly, Anakin feels a brush of kinship towards Cody. He hadn’t ever really expected to find something they had in common, outside of the already evident care towards Luke, but it seems he can now add ‘annoying Obi-Wan’ to that list.
    ---
    [Luke] blinks at Master Koon, clearly doing a double-take at the same time as the Jedi at the inherent Force sensibility coming off of both of them. Then, his eyes flick over to Wolffe, and he lights up. “Hi!” he greets happily. “I know you! You’re one of Uncle Cody’s brothers! He still has a scar from where you bit him!”

    “Uh,” Wolffe stutters out, and wow, Luke is really going to set a record with the amount of stammers he induces in people.

    Master Koon seems delighted by the development, much to the despair of his commander. “Interesting,” he says, and Anakin swears his eyes are twinkling even if they’re not visible.
    ---
    Cody nods his head at the same time as Wolffe and Rex, the stark reminder of their relationship throwing Anakin for a brief second even years after knowing the clones. Sometimes he wishes he were able to always be on the same wavelength as someone like that – but wait, no. Luke had just said Wolffe bit Cody. Maybe it’s a good thing he never had any siblings.

    Summary

    His fingers brushed the concrete as he stared at the ceiling, the first rays of the sun filtering through the barred window as he took another breath, his chest rising as air filled his burning lungs.

    The soft drip of water from the broken pipe in his cell echoed through the quiet early morning as Obi-Wan closed his eyes, his chest falling as he exhaled, trying to focus on the soft breaths of the boy curled up against him.

    Cal’s fingers twisted into Obi-Wan’s worn robes and Obi-Wan tightened the hand on the boy’s back as he tried to focus on anything except the gaping sensation of wrong in the back of his mind where the force had once wound like a content tooka.

    “It feels wrong.”

    Cal’s voice was barely audible but it broke the silence like broken transparisteel and Obi-Wan swallowed around the lump in his throat.

    “It’ll be okay,” Obi-Wan murmured, “Just go to sleep, Cal. I’m sure that Master Jinn will come for us soon.”

    Taken by Death Watch during a mission to aid Mandalore, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Cal Kestis have a lot to learn about Mandalorians.

    Luckily, their savior—Jango Fett—is willing to teach them.

    Summary

    Kal's words rang in his head, of how the tradition could be used against the Mand'alor and when Obi-Wan looked at Jango's empty sheath, he knew what he had to do.

    Obi-Wan shot forward as quickly as he could, ducking in front of Kal to steal one of his knives and slamming into Jango’s side right as Reau made it there, sliding the knife in right before she could.

    They both looked at each other, Obi-Wan’s eyes wide as he realized what he’d done.

    “Obi-Wan?” Jango asked as Kal grabbed his arm to keep him upright, looking between Obi-Wan and Reau as he started to piece together what had happened.

    “I’m declaring my intent,” Obi-Wan said, keeping his voice as calm as he could, “To court Mand’alor Fett. Do you accept?”

    Obi-Wan Kenobi is called back to Mandalore as the True and New Mandalorians are trying to come to a truce with Death Watch trying to take hold of the planet. He hadn't expected to find himself siding with the Haat'Mando and he certainly hadn't expected to find himself entering a millennia-old courting ritual with their leader.

    But like always, Obi-Wan finds that when someone needs his help, he can't seem to walk away.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “You’re okay,” Jango said tightly, trying to keep his voice unaffected, though, from the look on Obi-Wan’s face, he was doing a shit job at it.

    “I’m okay?”Obi-Wan asked with a raised brow, “One of us had a concussion that left them unconscious for over a standard day and the other choked a concussed person out to cut a fight short before they could end up permanently brain-damaged.”

    “It’s a little late for that,” Jango said gruffly, “This is my ninth recorded concussion.”

    Obi-Wan’s eyes narrowed and Jango’s chest grew warm as Obi-Wan perched on the edge of his cot, “The fact that you feel the need to specify that it was recorded is concerning and makes me think that the actual number is much higher.”

    “Maybe,” Jango conceded, “But it might be to both our benefits for me to not say more than that.”

    Obi-Wan sighed, a long-suffering sound, even as his fingers found the inside of Jango’s wrist.

    “What does my heart rate tell you?” Jango asked, raising a brow.

    “That you’re a moron,” Obi-Wan said flatly.
    ---
    Obi-Wan unclipped his saber from his belt and placed it into Jango’s hands.

    It thrummed softly, sending a tingling feeling up Jango’s arm that was pleasant and warm and Jango’s breath caught in his throat.

    “It recognizes the people that I consider friends,” Obi-Wan explained with a small smile, “And reacts accordingly. If for some reason, it didn’t want to be held by a person—say someone tried to take it by force or it was someone I didn’t care for for one reason or another—it would feel much heavier and even in some extreme cases there have been records of a painful stinging sensation.”

    Jan go let out an amused huff.

    “So your saber likes me, does it?” he asked with a smirk.

    “I wouldn’t look so proud. It likes Kal too,” Obi-Wan said with a smirk of his own.

    Jango narrowed his eyes, “You aren’t funny.”

    “I’m pretty sure I am,” Obi-Wan replied.
    ---
    Jango flushed, “It’s not like that…”

    “You are the ruler of an entire system. You were well trained and smart and cunning enough to help lead the haat’mando’ade and the rest of the planet to victory,” Kal said flatly, “So how are you so kriffing stupid at the same time?”

    “I’m not stupid,” Jango insisted, “I’m just…not sure. At least not yet.”
    ---
    “Well, your mines would work well,” Sinube mentioned, “You’ve got the humidity levels that you need already and it would be easy to install the kind of lighting that you’d need-.”

    “You still aren’t allowed down in the mines,” Jango snapped as he turned to Obi-Wan, “This doesn’t lift your ban.”

    Ob i-Wan just laughed patting his shoulder before turning back to the Sinube and the Agricorp’s head, “You drown once and all of a sudden it’s you-aren’t-allowed-in-the-mines-Obi-Wan.”

    “After having you as a pupil for so long, I’m inclined to agree,” Sinube said, “Knight Kenobi did always have a penchant for finding danger.”

    Jango glared at Obi-Wan, “This is a common thing with you?”

    “Not at all,” Obi-Wan lied

    Summary

    In the end it was almost insultingly easy. The expiration date for the Ruusan Reformation came and went without even a whisper or glance from the Senate. The shadow of reality that had grown and grown every decade suddenly vanished, like a ghost in the night.
    But no one in the Temple sighed in relief when the morning came. Instead, they rolled their shoulders and set their plan in motion.
    It was slow. A whisper that grew into one final, unheard goodbye. A gentle flurry that gained more and more speed and strength until the Temple stood abandoned and no one could remember when exactly they last saw a Jedi on Coruscant.
