You hope you’d never have to come back here, yet here you are: Felucia. As a new mission unfolds under the jungle canopy, you fall into the rhythm of battle once more.

Chapter 3: Kote Ky'ram - AO3 Link

Chapter Summary:

There was no funeral, no official goodbye. There never are for clones. Just silence. So you and Rex make one of your own- a quiet memorial for Echo, shared with the brothers who loved him. It’s not grand, it’s not protocol, but it’s honest. And for the first time since the Citadel, you let yourself fully mourn him out loud.

Chapter 2: Can’t Outrun the Rain - AO3 Link

Chapter Summary:

Since Echo’s death, nothing’s felt the same—not the barracks, not your bed, nor the friendships he left behind. You’ve been keeping your distance, struggling to hold yourself together, until Rex insists on spending the night at your place for the first time since the Citadel. What follows is quiet, raw, and long overdue: a breaking point neither of you can run from.

"More Than Empty Servitude - Part II"

Captain Rex/Female Reader Slow Burn

Chapter 1: What He Would've Done - AO3 Link

Story Summary:

You’ve been a part of the Grand Army of the Republic for nearly two years now. You’ve fought, lost, healed, and kept going. But now, as alliances deepen and truths unravel, you experience war in a different way than you ever thought was possible.

From the hellscape of Umbara to the Outer Rim Seiges, from Senate battles for clone rights to stolen moments with Rex, you begin to question not just the cost of this war, but also the ones who claim to lead it.

OR: Echoing MTES Part I, Part II continues the front-lines POV of The Clone War. The story is heavily rooted in the canon timeline with added original missions, political tension, Jedi Council discourse, much-needed fluff, and character-deepening adventures (and misadventures). It continues the established slow burn relationship between Rex & Reader, all set against the looming countdown to Order 66.

Starts just after The Citadel Arc (TCW late-season 3)

After Quell, you weren’t planning on spending a night out. But plans change. One drink turns into a conversation, a challenge, a dare- and maybe even something more. You’re not sure what’s gotten into you tonight. Maybe it’s the music. Maybe it’s him.

Chapter 78: The Altruist - AO3 Link

Chapter Summary:

The strike team ventures deeper into The Citadel, with Rex flanked by Echo and Fives. Every step forward demands more from their bodies, from their bond, from their belief that they'll all make it home. But war doesn’t care about bond or dreams of a life after the fight. In the firestorm that follows, Rex is forced to confront what it means to lead, what it means to lose, and what it costs to keep moving forward.
