Summary
“A privilege these days, growing old.”
Obi-Wan swallows. “Indeed.”
Obi-Wan has gotten used to this life. The unending heat, the relentless sand, the viciousness of the Dune Sea; he has been here for twelve years, now, and in some ways it feels like he’s never known anything else. He has even gotten used to the loneliness. At least that’s what he tells himself—he has to remind himself of it, that he hasn’t gone insane like the people in the village say behind his back, when he sees a figure approaching in the distance, backlit by the bright, golden light of Tatooine’s twin suns.

Summary
The doorknob dug uncomfortably into the small of Bucky’s back. But as he looked at Steve, an inch away, he realized that his face was twisted into a grin—a kind of dumb one, he knew, but that’s what Steve tended to do to him these days. Always had—turned him stupid.
“Nice dinner,” Steve hummed, quiet like he never was. As he spoke his lips brushed against Bucky’s, catching on the skin. It felt like about a hundred volts right to the chest, right down to his fingertips.

Summary
“You know, if you really loved me, you’d kiss me even with—” and Buck waves his hands in the general direction of his mouth, “—all this.”
And because Eddie really is disgustingly in love with him, he actually, for about a second, considers it. Just a faint brush of their lips, or the corner of Buck’s mouth, maybe; Eddie hasn’t been letting on too much just how on edge he is, but this is the longest they’ve gone without a kiss in— forever, probably. Ever since the first one. He shakes the thought away. But he’s already angling down, eyes set on Buck’s; except when he’s about half an inch away he diverts, dropping a quick kiss to the tip of Buck’s nose instead.

Summary
It smells like paint fumes and sweat, and Buck couldn’t be happier. His t-shirt is sticking to his back and the sun is beating down with fervor even through the drawn blinds, making it all look even hazier than it feels: Eddie back in L.A., back in this house, back close enough to touch.
Buck and Eddie paint a room, and fall for each other.

Summary
They should write songs about Merlin’s mouth, Arthur thinks as their lips meet; maddening, insistent, trembling slightly, as pillow-soft as Arthur expected and more forceful than he could have dreamed. An ode, he thinks, would be suitable; perhaps a ballad or a sonnet. Paintings all along the citadel walls. Then, when Merlin’s teeth nearly sink into the flesh of Arthur’s bottom lip, he stops thinking altogether.

Summary
There was only one bed.
Obi-Wan’s mind fixated on this as they were practically pushed into the set of rooms by the guards, who bowed and told them their things would arrive shortly. The door closed behind them with a resounding thud, and then Anakin and Obi-Wan were alone together in a room clearly meant for romantic partners.
Anakin adopted a thoughtful, if somewhat sheepish, air. “Looking back over my words,” he said slowly, scrubbing a hand through curls that had grown long, “I can see where I messed up.”
“Anakin,” said Obi-Wan, who still had not looked away from the one giant bed. “They think we’re married.”

Summary
“You should conserve your strength,” Obi-Wan murmured to Anakin. “You needn’t waste energy looking at me.”
“But I like looking at you.”
Obi-Wan smiled despite himself. “I suspect that’s only because you like counting my grey hairs. You do enjoy admiring your own handiwork.”
Or,
After Anakin is injured in battle, he and Obi-Wan finally confront the feelings they’ve been concealing from each other.

Summary
“And should he not receive treatment?”
“His body’s immune system will kick into overdrive. He’ll experience fever, headache, tremors, and delirium. By the time we would reach the Core to retrieve the artificial supplement, brain edema or even hemorrhage could occur.”
Anakin dropped his head into his mechnohand, soothing his flustered skin with the cool leather of his glove. “Fine. Why does that mean I have to take it up the ass?”
*
When an alien parasite threatens Anakin's life, he gets a taste of something he's craved for far too long.

Summary
“It must have been a circle,” Anakin says, with a questioning lilt, a little grit of frustration. “I wondered why we weren’t getting any closer to the signal, it seemed to be moving, too.”
“You should have said,” Obi-Wan says unnecessarily. His eyes are caught on the plant, the core of it a strange membrane-like bubble growing ever so slightly bigger the more he looks at it, the ooze of the cut leaves gathering in the center and creating a boil that looks–
“Anakin, duck!”
(AKA Anakin gets a bunch of gunk in his hair, Obi-Wan has been hyper-fixated, and it all bursts like a bubble.)

Summary
A knot forms in Anakin’s stomach, and his chest feels tight. The box isn’t wrapped, just brown and nondescript. Upon opening it, he finds a folded up piece of flimsi, and before he can read what’s actually written on it, he sees familiar lettering embossed on the heading: From the post of the High Jedi Council.
