#implied quinobi

[threebea]

Had to share this passing thought bear with me.

Qui-Gon lives au he's a General in the clone wars which Clone would be his Commander?

Obviously Fox. Obi-Wan has his own army to deal with they need someone else to do Qui-Gon's paperwork and rein in impulsive need to follow the Force's will which works well when you're in a small group but not when you're leading an army.

Fox benefits in that this is actually excellent enrichment for him and Qui-Gon will let him use his name and forge his signature as he sees fit.

This all is the worst case scenario for Quinlan Vos who now has to do the walk of shame in front of Qui-Gon Jinn for the second time in his life.

Question: whose Cal Kestis other parent?

On another day I would have told you that can be anyone, even a random stranger he met on a bar- BUT THEN, @babygirlbridger and @krispyswips infected me with the brainworms via discord chats and this Fic [To Out Halcyon Days] (E) that I'm so obsessed with!!

So yes, is Quinlan.

But Obi and his stewjoni biology are so powerful that his womb just photocopies himself.

Bedroom Conversations

Happy Monday!

I've got "Bedroom Conversations," the next part of the sanguine series, up on ao3!

No major warnings apply for this part, though spicy content is implied (sticking to a T with fade to blacks).

Featuring: Quinlan Vos showing up and jolting some revelations out of Cody and Obi-Wan. ALSO featuring some QuinObi of the long-term FWB variety and...and adjustments to the Codywan pining.

The thing I've noticed recently about shipping QuinObi, a small Obi-Wan ship (we'll say a few rowboats tied together, but could be a sloop someday) in Star Wars fandom where there are monolith Obi-Wan ships is that, like ... there is a lot of kind of, I suppose unintentional shade thrown around? Not directed at me specifically (though I've had that too) but just in posts where fanon things are stated as fact. There are A LOT of posts that reference Quinlan and Obi-Wan having a thing as Padawans that go out of their way to say "oh but they weren't in love it was just sex" like Obi-Wan can't be in love with multiple people throughout his life and must wait to be in love with whoever the main love interest of the post is (could be any big ship I'm not like, calling out a particular one) or Obi-Wan can't care about someone deeply that he's having sex but not a romantic commitment with. Sure, FWB is a thing! It's often a part of the progression of any of my QuinObi fics. But the way posts like this are phrased is often like "oh well sure he slept with Quin as a Padawan but it was just cause he was there" kind of tone. I dunno, just the kind of fairly popular insistence that Obi-Wan likes Quinlan sure, but he isn't in LOVE with him and never was to make sure that it's CLEAR that Obi-Wan was only ever in love with whoever the other half of the ship is ... well, odd.

Like "Quinlan's so dumb am I right, but he's hot so Obi-Wan slept with him. Fun to be around but not a serious love interest" kind of vibes. There's a not small amount of fics that have Quinlan either pretending to be someone else while he and Obi-Wan sleep together, or being in a threesome with Obi-Wan and someone else for the purpose of getting the other two together and I'm like?? Why is this such a trend? No one has to ship my ship by any means, but using Quinlan like that just ... kinda sucks. Quinlan is a great character and he and Obi-Wan are really close. It's not wild to think they could fall in love. I've written situations where they're in love, then they're with other people and come back together later, like, it's possible to write multiple relationships like that.

I dunno, all of it makes me feel weird about how fandom generally views Quinlan. Obi-Wan could just as easily be with Quinlan as he could with any other ship and yet Quinlan is treated like this stepping stone or side piece without respect sometimes. There's gotta be a better way to involve past character relationships in your fanwork than to low-key imply that another character is just a stand-in for the eventual Big Love.

Dear Creator letter (for Star Wars rare-pair event)

First off, thank you for writing something for me! I kind of go blank when it comes to filling out those likes and dislikes so here’s me rambling about the kinds of things I like and don’t like to help me figure it out. Any particular specifics do not have to be adhered to, aside from avoiding the DNW and dislikes. 

Prompts

(I’m bad at coming up with ideas for other people to write so hopefully even if I don’t cover all pairings it gives ideas)

QuinObi- Quinlan isn’t a shadow but is a healer

CodyQuinObi- Post war No Order 66, Obi-Wan is at a loss with so much less to focus on, Cody is doing his own thing to discover who he is, but is missing Obi-Wan, Quinlan is worried about Obi-Wan and tries to get him and Cody together (in spite of his own feelings)

Haja/Reva- In Kenobi when she confronts them, they realize they’re soulmates

Any Quinlan pairing- he’s technically still considered a prince on Kiffu. Potential/actual partners find out on accident

QuinObi- Can’t seem to find the right time to get together (long missions, Anakin doesn’t like Quinlan/is insecure about Obi-Wan splitting time, the war etc) until they finally do get to have their first date

Rex/Zeb- Ezra (and Sabine) got them into a tricky situation.

Feral/Quinlan- Quinlan crash lands on Dathomir shortly before Ventress does her tests to pick Savage.

Beru/Owen/Obi- People in town assume, and they end up going with it until it accidentally becomes real

Any Quinlan pairing- Psychometry is another sense; sensory overload and other issues come from it which can make relationships tricky to navigate 

Other Pairings I like (and would not mind seeing)

Kit/Obi

Fox/Quin/Obi

Beru/Owen/Obi/Quin

Padme/Anakin/Rex (as background)

Mace/Plo

Kit/Obi/Quin

Cody/Quin/Mace

Bly/Aayla

Cody/Obi

Ezra/Sabine

Ezra/Luke

Zeb/Kallus

Maul/Cody

Savage/Clone OC

Likes

I like just about any AU aside from ones that don’t take place in the GFFA. Those AUs can be hit or miss so probably better to avoid in an exchange like this.

I love Jedi as family.

I love clones and Jedi helping each other in some way. (such as, Jedi are in a poor position, Clones help them fight the Senate/leave Republic, Jedi help clones find themselves and establish their lives) 

I love angst so long as there’s a happy ending (see: Don Bluth movies)

I like explorations of sexuality and gender, particularly those that explore asexuality and agender identity. (I do hc Quinlan as Agender and Obi-Wan as some variant of sex neutralish asexual) 

Love some autism/adhd hc, particularly ADHD Obi-Wan and ADHD Quinlan. I have ADHD and see myself in both of them.

Pro-Jedi all the way. Individuals are problems, but not the group as a whole and not the Council in the clone wars. They were trying their best and I prefer to look at it from a hopeful perspective than picking apart all their ‘wrong’ choices (assuming those choices are actually ‘wrong’)

I like cloneshipping but more as a background than a main thing. 

I don’t mind bad things like rape/non-con, or torture happening, just not explicitly written. Implied and talked about after is fine. Love that angst and catharsis

Pregnancy and childbirth is always interesting to explore as I have gone through it so I Know things. 

Any characters interacting with kids is just fantastic. 

I love misunderstood characters, insecure characters. Characters that secretly think people would be better off without them. That sort of thing is always fun, and the more they don’t appear like that sort of character, the better (favorite character with this rn is Quinlan)

Healthy communication is best. They can start out unhealthy as long as they work towards healthy. As long as they are trying. And even good partners can make mistakes but they still come together to discuss it eventually. 

Meditations, lightsaber, give me all the Jedi hc. 

Chronic pain, particularly from migraines is always fun to explore.

Soulmate AUs

Time travel AUs

Fix its

Dislikes (Note: I don’t have any triggers, mostly just squicks. Still hard nos for the most part)

I don’t mind implications of sex, fade to black scene but anything explicit? Nope. Do not want to read it. 

Also not fond of sexual attraction playing a part in a large portion of the story (asexual person here does not want to read about that) or characters being sluts/always having sex. (Yes, asexuals can enjoy sex and all; I am married with kids, but I also like seeing restraint especially from a healthy relationship perspective)

I don’t like Anakin portrayed as good if he is in character. Absolutely do not portray him like canon if you are going to write him as good, make him less toxic/angry/etc. Why? Because I see Anakin written like in canon, and all I see is my mom who should never have been a parent. I have no patience for that kind of thing. This does mean I am perfectly okay with Anakin bashing, Falling etc. 

I don’t like canon Jedi characters leaving the Jedi or never being a Jedi. I LOVE the Jedi, so it’s just. Not really fun to read for me especially since a good portion of those come off as not Jedi friendly.

Speaking of. No attachment equals love, the Jedi are a cult, Jedi are emotionless, etc, UNLESS it is presented in a way that shows that the person saying that is wrong/doesn’t know what they’re talking about/malicious etc. Such as it coming from Anakin and everyone else being like ‘uh. no.’

I’m not super fond of clones having their own culture. Especially the Mando clones. It just doesn’t make sense to me that they would come out of Kamino with a set culture, Mando or not, just some norms that come about from being raised the way they were. Maybe a few little things they don’t know the origin of but picked up from trainers or older clones. 

Related, I’m also not fond of the clones have everything figured out so they know what’s best, whether it’s emotions, relationships, health, work-life balance etc. They don’t have the experience to know better than experienced Jedi. And the way such things get written, especially when it comes to medical issues is very... infantilizing and I would never trust those clones again in the Jedi’s shoes (usually Obi-Wan).

I don’t like characters being jerks, even if it’s meant to be joking/teasing. For sensitive people that can be still feel real rather than a joke/teasing so it’s just a no go for me. 

Sith/Dark AU No. Just. No. Characters can temporarily slip up and struggle, but not embrace it. 

Don’t want major character deaths. Fake outs are great, fantastic though. All the angst but happy ending.

The End

Thank you for writing for me and I hope you have a great time creating something you love for me!

[phoenixyfriend]

Ok but consider for the Hondo saves the universe:

Obi wan: I need Master Vos’ telemetry, that’s why you’re backup-backup.

Ani: I’m sure you ~need Quinlan’s hands~ but that’s no excuse to keep me from stabbing someone.

Context: Hondo Saves the Galaxy

"Remember how, last time we ran into Hondo, we needed Jar Jar Binks to save us? Yeah. No. If I run into trouble because of Hondo Ohnaka again, I'd rather you be the last-minute complication that gets us out."

"So you want me to save you."

"You know what, I changed my mind, I'm calling Master Windu instead."

[ahumansvoid]

I wrote a thing about Qui Gon, Obi-wan, Quinlan, Siri, Bant, Reeft, and Garen getting interviewed!

I’ve seen quite a few of these that mainly take place during Clone Wars or around there, so I wanted to try it when they’re Padawans and teenagers rather than adults.

I also intend on doing a follow up with them during the Clone Wars (maybe not if people would rather I leave it as a one-shot?) so if you want the interviewer to ask specific questions, feel free to send them to me! Either on this post, an ask or DM.

Valentine’s Day prompts 15, QuinObi?

[Valentine's Day Prompts]

15. ❛ You fit into me. Like a hook into an eye. ❜

He's never understood why they fit so well together like this, why he can slide into Quinlan with a hitched breath and some clumsy metaphor about keys and locks will hit him full-force. It's only ever Quinlan's muttered 'fuck,' the sly way he looks up at Obi-Wan, the faint smell of perfumes neither of them wear on Quinlan's sheets that ever stops him. It's only the knowledge that this is how Quinlan is with everyone—easy and charming and so, so happy to fit himself to another—that keeps him from saying something he'll regret.

Fucking Quinlan always feels like a revelation. He drives into Quinlan's tight heat, feels Quinlan's hand on his, and something melts in his chest—some tightly bound box comes loose. Do you feel it? he wants to ask. Do you feel me? But Quinlan's eyes are closed and he's grinning, and he doesn't see Obi-Wan about to come apart. It's better that way, anyways. Quinlan doesn't stick around for that sort of thing. At least not for Obi-Wan.

There's bitterness in his mouth when Quinlan cries out, bitterness that leaks down into his spine when he fucks Quinlan to the edge and pulls back, makes him beg, like if Obi-Wan leaves him desperate and fucked-out he'll come back. And he does—he has, so far. It's enough. It has to be.

Obi-Wan bends down, into the crook of Quinlan's neck, and bites hard. Between their bodies, Quinlan comes with a cry, and Obi-Wan pulls out, brings himself off with the image of a bruise in the shape of his teeth imprinted on Quinlan's neck.

He leaves without a word, forcing down every single ache at Quinlan's smile down into a small box in his chest.

The next week, the bruise is gone.

as sort of proof i’m actually writing that quinobi

writing has been fECKed the last few days, i have no idea what i’m doing, i spent almost seven hours unpacking and sorting art supplies instead of writing this fill and now here i am. soon, anon, i promise: soon.

  When the contingent of Jedi and their padawans arrive in the capital city of Zehava to help negotiate with Neild, Quinlan hugs him instead. 

  And Obi-Wan hasn’t eaten properly in weeks, he’s been sleeping in the sewers, and Cerasi’s blood is still caked under his fingernails, but Quinlan still nearly knocks him over with the force of their collision, wrapping Obi-Wan up so tight it almost feels like they’d never left the créche in the first place. He’s always felt more like home than the Temple anyways.

  “Let’s not do that again,” he says, surprisingly in control of his voice for how wrecked he’d sounded after Bandomeer.

  With shaking hands, Obi-Wan hugs him back, twisting his fingers into the back of Quinlan’s robes until he can’t feel them anymore. “I’ll say goodbye next time,” he promises hoarsely, feeling Master Qui-Gon prod at his mind in concern before Master Tholm leads him away. 

  Quinlan makes a distressed noise and hugs him tighter. “Or you could stop kriffing almost getting killed every mission, yeah? I swear by the Maker that if Master Yoda has to sit me down one more time to ‘break the news’ to me about you going awol, I’m going to throw you to a sarlacc.”

  Obi-Wan does suppose it’s a little unfair to do this to his friends nearly every time he leaves the temple, but with a galaxy so big and so full of need, he knows he can’t promise that. 

  So he presses his forehead into Quinlan’s collarbone, releasing his hands just long enough to tuck himself into Quinlan’s robes instead, and nods against him anyways. “You’d have to find a sarlacc first, Quin,” he says, like making a joke of it will excuse that he’d almost gone and left Quinlan alone again. 

  “Don’t worry, I’ll just stick you on a desert planet, and with your luck, the sarlacc will find you.”

107

2.) What's your ao3 word count? 

1,383,112

3.) What fandoms do you write for? 

I've written for Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera, Black Sails, Captain America, Hadestown, and Star Wars.

4.) What are your top five fics by kudos?

Shoulder the Sky: My RoTS fix-it AU and the first installment in the series of the same name! Obi-Wan figures Palpatine out and gets stabbed and put on trial for his trouble. Anakin has to sort his way out of Palpatine's manipulations.

Les Hommes de la Misericorde: My first long fic in the Les Mis fandom, which is very dear to my heart! It established many long lasting friendships as well as my brand of "Valjean saves some or all of the Amis after the barricade"

Whispers From the Dead: The sequel to Shoulder the Sky, featuring undead Sith, lots of QuinObi, Obi-Wan whump, Anakin being the Jedi master he always could have been, really cute Skywalker twins, and Padme finally getting to be chancellor.

Conjuring Miracles: My OWK what-if, where Vader gets his hands on Obi-Wan at the end of episode 3.

Between the Soul and the Star: My Les Mis fic where I attempt to save ALL the Amis and put Javert through his paces :D

5.) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I like to! I don't always get to every one, but I do try and answer as often as I can, especially long comments--I like to thank people for that effort! Plus, I've made friends by talking in comments!

6.) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I think that one goes to By Force of Friendship, my Les Mis Barricade Day fic where Enjolras watches each of his friends die one by one, until he reaches his end. I mean, blame canon for that! But still, it hurt.

7.) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I dunno if I can pick one? I've written a lot of fix-it fics for various fandoms, although my Hadestown fix-it, As If it Might Turn Out This Time, might be the winner .

8.) Do you get hate on fics?

Hmm I got flames like everyone else back in the 'ole ff.net days, but the only hate I ever got was on my Les Mis pirate AU (long taken down and turned into my series of novels) and I wouldn't even call it hate so much as weird and aggressive.

9.) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I do! I used to do almost entirely closed door/implied smut, but over the last few years, between my girl Raoul Phantom of the Opera AU and QuinObi fic for Star Wars, I write it a lot more! And I've really enjoyed writing it, too. Lot of character work that can happen!

10.) Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I wrote a Criminal Minds/House MD cross years and years ago, pre-Ao3!

11.) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of!

12.) Have you ever had a fic translated?

A couple of Les Mis ones, yes! Into Chinese.

13.) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Wayyyyy back in the day, pre-Ao3, but not since then.

14.) What's your all time favorite ship?

I write a lot of gen fic, but as far as romantic ships go, it's a tie between QuinObi and Raoul/Christine, both of which I'm feral over and have written the most shippy content for.

15.) What's a WIP you'd like to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Don't currently have any unfinished ones! Well, WFTD, but it's almost done and will definitely be finished.

16.) What are your writing strengths?

I think character-depth and character arcs are probably my biggest strength? It's what's most important to me as a reader, so that's where I tend to focus the most.

17.) What are your writing weaknesses?

God, blocking!!! Not even in action scenes, that I can do, but when people are just sitting in a room! Constantly have problems with that.

18.) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Sometimes I do! I've used French in Les Mis here and there.

19.) First fandom you wrote for?

Rurouni Kenshin, back when I was a tiny baby on Media Miner.

20.) Favorite fic you've ever written?

This is like picking a favorite child??? I can't pick, but I will say that I'm proud of how I've expanded my horizons and written new things in Whispers From the Dead!

Hot Take: Satine Kryze should have been a woman of color

It's impossible to have conversations about Satine and her politics that don't get sidelined by the animation choices. People either don't like her because she's calling for an end to the violence (and violence is a major part of what makes Star Wars entertaining), or they don't like her because of the accidentally implied racism.

Like, okay, listen. Listen.

Imagine if Filoni had put an ounce of thought into racial diversity and had Satine as a woman of color, leading a population with the diversity you would expect of a space planet, but otherwise spouting the exact same pacifist, pro-gun control, anti-imperialist rhetoric and activism.

The people who just hate women or want her to stop negating the violence they came to the franchise for would still hate her. And I'm not saying the "wow, that crowd design sure looks... sketchy" people would automatically like her, I just think that we could have ditched a lot of unintended and unnecessary bullshit at the door in favor of actually discussing how cultural revolution looks and works when your cultural history is 'violent imperialism and enslavement of conquered native populations interspersed with civil war.'

TL;DR - I love Satine and what she stands for, but I think her message and character beats would have worked much more poignantly if she were a woman of color so we could skip the accidental implications in favor of actually talking about her activism. It also would have been nice for, of Obi-Wan's two canon* love interests, one to not be a white blonde.

('Vaguely Mediterranean' would also work if we want to work on the parallels that Death Watch has to what Ottomans did to the Balkans with the whole devşirme thing, but not enough people know or care about Balkan history for that inspiration to be readily apparent, so her being a woman of color would be better.

* The other being Siri Tachi. As much as I love QuinObi, BailObi, Jangobi, etc, none of those are actually canon.
