#just like Ankain

[bayonettassecondgf]

Ngl I would too survive burning on the shore of Mustafar just like Anakin did because imagine your brother/father figure tells you he loved you after he cuts off your hands and legs and lefts you to burn.

Man, I would be mad asf too. Like king couldn't have you told me that earlier, like we could have avoided all this...

Sith!Ankain Skywalker x Rebel!reader (gender-neutral)

Summary: Finding yourself in a fight with Darth Maul, you quickly realize that you're way out of your depth. Unfortunately, no one's coming to save you. Aha, unless?

Word Count: 2.0k

A note from the author: Remember how I was like, "I'm having a lot of trouble writing the words aren't coming like they used to"? I think this helped to unclog a bit of the writer's block I've had. Maybe I just need to write for a different fandom for a bit. This takes place in my Rebel!reader fic-verse (gender-neutral reader!), but before What You Stand to Lose. As always, likes, comments, and reblogs make my world go round (especially the latter two), and I hope you enjoy!

How do I keep ending up in situations like this? you wonder as you dodge yet another Sith Lord’s lightsaber strike and immediately counter it with your own.

That’s a stupid question, because you know how. You decided to join the Rebel Alliance, to fight for a noble cause, and now your life is pretty consistently put in mortal danger. Still, when a mission to try and convince the head of Crimson Dawn that you were all fighting for the same goal was proposed, you were the first to volunteer. Maybe it’s a desperation to prove yourself as useful that made you do it, or maybe you need to remind yourself that you’re working for something good. Regardless, you had been stupid and self-assured, enough so that General Kessyk had given you a small team to command and sent you on your way to Corellia.

Said small team is now incapacitated, rendered useless almost the moment you had ambushed the Crimson Dawn leader who had turned out to be none other than Darth Maul—a surprise to you all, since Dryden Voss is the public face of the syndicate. This revelation completely turned your game plan on its head, as you’re now left to face his wrath alone.

And he has a lot of wrath.

“Look, if you would just listen for a moment,” you yell at him over the sound of electricity humming, “I think you would see that we all want the same thing!”

“And what thing is that?” Darth Maul snarls, raising his blade above his head and attempting to crash it down on top of you.

You meet it with your own, gritting your teeth under the strain as you attempt to hold him back. “The end of the Galactic Empire!”

He bears down harder in response, and your arms begin to shake. Knowing when to give up some yield is half the success in battle, so you adjust your strategy and drop to your knees, doing a quick roll to get some space in between you. He turns to face you once more, his yellow eyes so filled with hatred that it makes a frightened whimper get stuck in your throat.

“Please, we only came to talk. We can be allies!” you plead.

“What happens after the Empire is defeated? We part on good terms and go our separate ways?” Maul shakes his head, twirling his saber and stalking towards you. “No. At the end of the day, the Sith will always be an enemy. I will always be an enemy.”

“I’m sure that—woah!” He renews his attacks with vigor, clearly done talking. Unfortunately for him, you’re not done. “I’m sure that the Rebel Alliance would be happy to negotiate some sort of treaty.”

“I have had enough of arrogant little Force users thinking that they can change the galaxy with ‘the power of goodness,’” he mocks. “You are not the first to approach me with your misguided ideals.”

Maul kicks the center of your chest and sends you falling to the ground, a position you never want to find yourself in when fighting for your life. Attempting to scramble backward is made extra difficult with the lightsaber in your hand, and it’s only delaying the inevitable as Maul follows you slowly, a predator stalking his prey. With a firm smack, your saber goes flying out of your reach.

He holds his lightsaber to your chest and smirks down at you as it burns a hole through the fabric of your shirt. “But you will be the last.”

You raise both hands up in a last-ditch plea, though you know it’s for naught. This is it. You’ve lost. You’ll become just another name on the long list of lives lost as sacrifices for the fight for a better tomorrow.

Though you’d like to say that a sense of peace comes over you as you stare your impending death in the eyes, that’s not the case. You’re scared out of your mind, actually, and the only thing comforting you is the fact that it’ll be a quick death. With that in mind, you close your eyes and await the inevitable.

But the inevitable never comes. Where you were expecting pain and darkness, there’s simply darkness from screwing your eyes shut. After a couple of long moments, you hesitantly open your eyes. Darth Maul no longer looms over you. Instead, he’s a few feet away, engaged in battle with someone else.

“It was foolish of me to believe that Kenobi could actually finish the job and successfully kill somebody for once,” he spits, twirling his saber in his hand as another red saber clashes with his.

“You said it, not me!”

Belatedly, you realize that you know that cocky, annoying voice. Sure enough, Darth Vader is now Darth Maul’s opponent, and he’s faring much better than you had. His helmet is off, allowing you to see the arrogant grin he’s sporting, and his blond curls fly around his face as he swings his lightsaber through the air.

“Vader?” you call, still feeling like your eyes are deceiving you. 

He looks over at you, his grin somehow getting bigger. “C’mon, get up and help me out!”

You stumble to your feet and call your lightsaber back to your hand using the Force, but remain back. Vader doesn’t need your help, because he’s very clearly winning. You would only be a hindrance if you were to join, so instead, you watch.

Even if you didn’t know that the two Sith lords had been trained for a very long time, their fighting styles would make it obvious. The way that they move, so fluidly and deadly, is an art form. It almost looks like a dance, if a dance could end in somebody’s death.

“Darth Sidious won’t be pleased when he finds out you’re helping out the Rebel Alliance,” Darth Maul taunts, bending over backward to avoid a swing.

Darth Vader curses at the near-miss. “Oh, but I’m not.”

“Then what do you call this?”

He looks over his shoulder and winks at you. “Helping the one particular Rebel that I have a vested interest in.”

“Pathetic!” Darth Maul spits.

Vader’s lightsaber makes contact with the palm of Maul’s hand, and he yells out in pain. He catches his saber with his other hand before it can fall to the ground, but he’s unable to grip it with both hands now. Though he could fight one-handed, against somebody as talented as Darth Vader, he wouldn’t be very successful. The light from his saber disappears as he extinguishes it, giving one curt nod before he backs off.

“This is not the end,” he promises.

“No, I don’t believe it is.”

Though Vader could very easily finish him, there are rules to a battle. When one willingly concedes, the fight is over, no matter how much the other wishes that it wasn’t. You and Vader both watch as Maul makes it to his ship and escapes, flying high above your heads and away from Corellia.

Vader turns his attention to you, wrapping his large hands around your upper arms and looking you up and down. “Are you alright?”

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?”

“You were the one about to die.”

“I had it under control,” you claim, even though you very much did not have it under control. “And I didn’t need you to save me.”

“Oh, you didn’t? That’s not what it looked like to me.” 

His fingers move to the open hole in your shirt left by Maul’s lightsaber above your heart. The skin there is shiny from a light burn—it’s nothing that will hinder you in the long run, but it does sting a bit, especially when Vader lightly touches this wound. You hiss through your teeth, but he doesn’t move.

“Your heart is beating so fast,” he notes, his voice soft from concentration.

Your cheeks burn at this because you know there are a couple of reasons for your racing heart, and only one of them is from the exertion of battle. Wiggling your hands up, you get enough of a space that you can lightly push yourself away from Vader.

“What are you—how did you know that I would be here?” you demand, having been under the assumption that everybody had done very well in making sure this was a top-secret mission.

“We received some intel that the Rebel Alliance would be making a rather stupid attempt at reaching out to Crimson Dawn. I was going to just let Maul have at it, but then I thought, ‘What are the odds that my Rebel would be involved in this?’”

“I am not your Rebel.” The way that he looks at you, like you mean something to him, makes your heart clench in a way that you don’t want to consider right now. Onto the next subject, then. “Why did you help me in the first place? You could have let him kill me. You should have let him kill me, actually. Would have saved you a lot of trouble.”

“I don’t want you dead.”

You roll your eyes. “Of course, you just want me to join you and go against every one of my morals.”

“I still have morals, Rebel. If you were willing to listen, to be open-minded, I think you’d find that the Dark Side is not evil. Where the Light Side wanted their Jedi to shirk all of their emotions and attachments, the Dark Side encourages those emotions. Anger, sadness, passion…love. Sith believe in a world where we’re all free to feel what we want, to allow that which scares us to be out in the open so that we may overpower it. You can’t tell me that this sounds evil.”

You remain silent, because you don’t know what to think. With how Vader puts it, the Dark Side doesn’t sound all evil. Actions speak louder than words, however, and you’ve seen the terror and devastation that the Empire and the Dark Side have unleashed on the galaxy. You’re not willing to dwell on it right now (or ever, really; just thinking about the possibility of Vader’s words having some validity makes you feel like you’re betraying the Rebel Alliance), so you force it to the back of your mind and refuse to think about it any longer.

“Well, I think my work here is done,” Vader declares with a sigh, clipping his saber back onto his belt.

You look at him in confusion. “Wait, you’re not…going to force me to be your apprentice? I mean, now’s kind of the perfect time.” You don’t want him to do so, but you were sure you knew what his end goal was, since he’s made it clear every other time you’ve encountered him.

“It is,” he agrees. “But I’ve decided that it does no good to have you join me against your will. When the time comes, you’ll give yourself to me—to the Dark Side willingly.”

He sounds so sure of this, like it’s a foregone conclusion. You’re about to argue, to insist once more that you’ll never join him, when you hear groaning behind you.

“Looks like your crew is starting to come to,” Vader notes. “I’ll see you soon.”

You don’t doubt that, but you won’t let him know that. “I sure hope not.”

He laughs, already walking to his own ship. “Make sure to get that burn checked out so that it doesn’t get infected!” he yells to you.

The groaning gets louder before you can tell him to not tell you what to do, and somebody calls your name sluggishly. Your pilot is trying to roll over onto his hands and knees, and the others aren’t far behind him in waking up. You get ready to help, as all good Rebels do—because that’s what you are, someone good and helpful and nothing at all like the Sith Lord that increasingly occupies your thoughts as of late.

You’re not like him, you tell yourself, and you’ll do everything in your power to ensure that you won’t ever be like him.

[antianakin]

It's interesting to see that in TOTJ, they explicitly had Dooku tell Qui-Gon that he was a wiser man than Dooku was, paralleling obviously Qui-Gon saying something similar to Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan saying something similar to Anakin. And while I don't necessarily need proof to know that Yoda might've said something similar to Dooku, I would believe without a shred of doubt that Anakin never said anything like this to Ahsoka.

Now granted, all three of these Masters have clearly said it either late in their Padawan's apprenticeship or after it's already over, while Ahsoka is only Anakin's Padawan for a grand total of like 1.5 years, 2 at the tops, and is nowhere NEAR Knighthood when she leaves or when she pops back in just pre-ROTS. But Anakin's so dead fucking set on making Ahsoka happy when she comes back that it could've made sense for him to say it to her then, something along the lines of "You seem a lot wiser than you were when you left, you'll obviously be a wiser person than me one day." He could've said something like this more desperately in his attempts to get her not to leave in Wrong Jedi, too, but he doesn't.

Look at how he reacts to her doing well on her Jedi assessment, he can't even praise her for the things she DOES do well so long as he believes it to be inferior.

Which I feel says something about that relationship. I'm not sure Anakin would've EVER said something like this to Ahsoka because calling someone a wiser, better Jedi than himself goes against everything Ankain personally believes. He might LIKE Ahsoka, he might be proud of her skills, believe her to be advanced, but she'll never be The Chosen One like him, she'll never be as powerful or as smart and enlightened as he is. She'll always be inferior, even if he'd never really think of it that way.

(Force ghost Obi-Wan visits Anakin at the moment of his death)

-

Vader is slipping away, fading into the ether. Obi-Wan can feel the end of it in the Force. And yet even as he watches, Obi-Wan rages against it. He cannot let him.

Obi-Wan had come to terms with Vader and his past a long time ago. He had accepted his part in it and let go. He was a Jedi, and he had forged ahead and put his faith in the boy. In Luke. But he had never expected this. Vader–Anakin–to come back. Not after so long. It was less that he'd lost faith in Anakin, and more that it was necessary for him to be able to move on. How cruel the Force was then, to give Anakin back only to take him away again.

Obi-Wan cannot let him.

As his last words leave his mouth, taking with it his last breath, Obi-Wan rushes to his side. It would take a miracle. He, Yoda, and Qui-Gon, had all had to receive extensive training to maintain their consciousness after death. He had but mere minutes. But Anakin was the Force's son was he not? He was the Chosen One. And oh he'd believed it was Luke. And it was in a way. But also Anakin. Always Anakin. So if anyone could do the impossible, it was him.

"Obi-Wan?" Anakin's eyes widen. He has no mouth to speak anymore, caught in death's grip. Yet still his voice rings true. "Master I'm sorry! I'm so sorry I–"

"Hush now and listen carefully. We don't have much time."

Indeed, even now he could feel the way Anakin was merging back into the Force. Gone forever. Just like when he'd fallen to the Dark. Except now it was worse. Because now Obi-Wan would truly never see him again. He has no heart nor any body yet it aches. No please, he begs silently. One last time. One last miracle.

"You're in the netherworld of the Force. But I can teach you how to revisit corporeal space and retain your consciousness. A path to immortality."

"But…why…?"

Confusion and remorse burst through. Luke hugs his dead father's body to his chest.

"Never mind that! Do you wish this path, Anakin?" He cannot keep the desperation from his voice.

Anakin looks up at him. "Yes."

Obi-Wan has no breath but he feels his chest heave anyway. "Right, let us begin quickly…"

-

Yoda and Qui-Gon had manifested beside them as Anakin grew stronger and more grounded in the Force. Their voices helped steer him away from the wave which would have swept him away.

After all is said and done Anakin stands before him. Anakin, as he was. As he used to be. Obi-Wan almost cannot believe it even with the proof in front of him.

"Masters." Anakin looks around him, overwhelmed and teary eyed.

"Anakin." Qui-Gon smiles proudly. He moves to hug him. "I was watching you always. You did it. I knew you could."

Ankain squeezes back.

Yoda nods at him, a smile on his old face. Obi-Wan yearns to hold him too, but he hesitates. Unsure how to anymore or if it is even welcome. It's been so long. And there is so much to say. He's sorry he gave up on him. He's sorry he didn't try harder. He's sorry for causing him so much pain.

There is no shielding in the cosmic force. It is all open and bare. Anakin feels all of it. He is frozen in place. In turn Obi-Wan can feel Anakin’s own remorse. His guilt burns alongside everything else. But above all his soul aches for Obi-Wan's just as well.

Oh. Oh Obi-Wan wishes he could hide himself away like before. Put up a wall and meditate this away. This is too raw. Too open. He is gutted and speared and on display.

But so is Anakin.

"Obi-Wan."

They fall into each other. Their souls intertwining finally. There is love. Love. He is made of it. He radiates it. He'll never let this go again. Not ever.

-

The party lasts far into the night. Luke gives them a smile and turns away to rejoin his friends. Anakin smiles proudly at him. Yoda has already returned to the Force. Only he and Anakin remain to watch the festivities a little longer.

Obi-Wan turns to observe him. Anakin is as radiant as he'd been at 23. Curly hair, his Jedi robes in place. He looks exactly as he had been. Obi-Wan feels so old standing next to him. His eternal boy. It didn't seem fair, but Obi-Wan wouldn't have it any other way.

Anakin shifts to peer down at him as if taking him in for the first time. His eyes wander his face and wrinkles.

"What?"

Anakin reaches up to drag a hand through his white hair. Obi-Wan bristles at the touch, leaning in without meaning to. His soul has always reached back for Anakin.

"Nothing. Just looking at you I guess."

His ephemeral form makes a valiant effort at blushing. Then Anakin opens his mouth and completely obliterates any chance he had at saving face.

"Can ghosts have sex?"

They were both of and in the Force. Anakin was him and he was Anakin. It was the closest they'd ever been and ever would be. But instead of saying any of that Obi-Wan touches his beard and strokes the memory of bristles.

"Can't say I've ever tried."

Anakin grins.

[emerald2bro]

Just saw something mentionaing Ankain Skywalker having delusions of granduer. And I mean, yes.(tho they are arguably not delusions - he really is the most powerful mortal force user in the galaxy) But then, I mean.

Its not like Anakin's delusionsof grandur come from nothing, or from some personality flaw. Its almost like at the age of 9 he was told he was "The Chosen One" and thus God's Specalist Jedi, and that everything depended on him. Even if it wasn't stressed, he was exposed to that idea in debates abouthis training, and it was ultimatley one of the direct causes of the jedi acepting him *and he knows that*.

Thats gonna have Effects.

[himboskywalker]

If Ankain wouldn't witness a Scottish Highland Cow it would be a crime aganist humanity.

So...just a thought 💕

Lmaoooo the first time I saw a highland cow was in the western highlands outside of Oban and it was a 100000/10 experience. I happened to be out hiking and the owner happened to be out by pasture so he witnessed me be a thousand times more excited about it than a normal person should. He also,with upmost kindness and amusement let me jump the fence into the pasture and pet her. She was very sweet and I think I blacked out in the middle of it from pure joy.

Did you know before the 1800s the majority of highland cattle were not the red ones? Queen Victoria was responsible for a lot of Scottish culture coming vogue since she was really enamored with Scotland and her and Albert spent a lot of time at Balmoral Castle. In particular Victoria loved the highland cattle but she liked the red ones the best as opposed to the more common black highland cattle. As a result they started selectively breeding for red cattle on the Royal highland estates and over time the black cattle have been eclipsed by the red bois.

But back to your point I can 1000% include a scene of Anakin meeting a highland cow lmao I think he would be equally dumbfounded by one as Obi-Wan would be in stitches over how startled he’d be.

TCW for the fandom ask game :)))

Oooo! This is such a good show!

Thank you so much for the ask!!

The first character I first fell in love with: I would have to say Obi-Wan. I always liked him the best in the prequels because of his sass and oldest sibling vibe. (If you've read my other responses to these fandom asks, you'll see that sass is a staple of all my favorite characters.) But I also love Rex, Fives, Echo, and Tech.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: That would be one Captain/Commander Rex!

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: I mean, I guess Yoda? His episodes were always a little boring to me. I like Yoda, he's just not my fav.

The character I love that everyone else hates: Oh goodness. I guess early Ahsoka? She's really not that bad for a child being thrown into a war with Anakin "Disaster" Skywalker as a master.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: OK, so, like, Prequel Kaninoans, didn't care. Didn't love, didn't hate. Now that I've realized that clones are the coolest ever, the Kaminoans are kind of the worst!

The character I would totally smooch (or hug): All the clones deserve a hug.

The character I’d want to be like: Rex! He's resilient and caring. He'd do anything for his friends.

The character I’d slap: Pong Krell, of course! But also Rush Clovis. He was annoying.

A pairing that I love: Padme and Ankain are cute, but I also liked Obi-Wan and Satine's forbidden love thing.

A pairing that I despise: I am not a fan of the Rex and Ahsoka ship. Sorry!

There is so much to TCW and so many characters, I know I'm leaving out important people!

Thank you again for the ask!

Terrible Fic Ideas #19: Star Wars, but make it Empress Palpatine

The thing I love about Star Wars is that, force powers aside, the situation is one we all can easily see happening. (It can be difficult to believe that a mostly peaceful, benevolent Federation of Planets can spawn on Earth and come to encompass a good chunk of the galaxy a la Star Trek, but the rise and fall of an authoritarian state is all too easy to imagine, even in another galaxy.)

But when asked to given an example of an authoritarian ruler, I can only think of examples like Emperor Palpatine - which is to say, even looking at the wikipedia page on the subject I can't find a female example. So I thought... what if? Or more specifically, what if it was Empress Palpatine?

Just imagine it:

Specifically, imagine a universe where absolutely nothing changes except for Palpatine's gender. This has a few cascading effects in how Palpatine relates to Ankain and how the senator/chancellor is viewed by the galaxy at large, but does not change the overall course of events.

Instead of a wise old man, Palpatine is a wise old woman, presenting a matriarchal, grandmotherly care towards Anakin. This has the side effect of pulling Anakin in two more "opposed" directions - maternal from Palpatine, paternal/fraternal from Obi-Wan - instead of Palpatine and Obi-Wan "competing" for the same slice of the father-figure pie, as it were. Again, it changes nothing in the long run, just the dynamic of how their influences over Anakin play out.

For instances, a boy may tell his mother things he'd never tell his father, and vice versa. Also, there is a tendency to assume women are more compassionate and empathetic, so Anakin going to the woman he's closest to with his problems might raise fewer eyebrows than running to another male in a position of authority.

It might also put a subtle mother-in-law/daughter-in-law tension between Palpatine and Padme if Anakin keeps going to his mother figure with issues one might traditionally expect to be brought first to a wife.

This dynamic could be even more interesting to the explore than the mother/father of Obi-Wan and a female Palpatine, as there might be something I almost hesitate to call Cersei-like about it. Both are powerful women in politics from Naboo, but, without knowing the Sith plot in the background, it looks a lot like young, beautiful Padme's star is rising while old, aging Palpatine's star is falling. I'm sure an enterprising Sith can find some way to manipulate Anakin with that.

But otherwise... everything stays exactly the same. Fall of the Republic, rise of the Empire - and, later, fall of the Empire. The only difference is we have an Empress.

Perhaps it makes some parts of the Rebellion harder, as a female overlord might be assumed to care more for her subjects than a male, or at least speak as if she does in a manner that might be subconsciously believed more, but otherwise makes no difference.

And that's it really. All this idea boils down to is: give me Star Wars, but give me a slightly different set of interpersonal relationships between the antagonists, and, consequently, between the major figures in their lives.

Bonuses include: 1) all too often female representations of evil involve sexual deviance and/or extreme sexualization. Not here. Palpatine should be as sinister, tyrannical, and sexless as her canon counterpart. This should be especially clear in the differences in how Palpatine and Padme dress. 2) Everyone in the Jedi Temple reading a different set of problems into Anakin's friendship with the Chancellor. And 3) Luke, at some point, having learned Darth Vader is his father and seeing the relationship he has with the Empress, being force to wonder if Empress Palpatine really is his grandmother.

As always, feel free to adopt this bunny. Just let me know if you ever do anything with it.

Ooh for the prompts how about Mare Frigoris with anakin? maybe ani and obi?

omg of course!! this looks like a great idea (✿◠‿◠) from these prompts

here's your space fun fact: the lunar mare are the dark spots on the moon that you see when you look up at them. Mare Frigoris is the name of one of these lunar seas and is located near the north pole of the moon.

Mare Frigoris- [Anakin and Obi-Wan] get hypothermia

"Obi-Wan," Anakin said as he pulled his hood over his head again with a huff. The wind had been pushing it back, over and over, along with pushing freezing rain into Anakin's face as well.

"I know, you don't like the cold, and you'd rather be on Tatooine than here," Obi-Wan said, already having a good idea of what Anakin's complaint was going to be. Their boots squished through the mud in synchronized steps, despite the lack of a need to be together, their rhythms still fell into place with each other.

The sky above them was a deep grey, and clouds swirled overhead, reminding Anakin of how water seemed to flow down a drain. The rain was cold, and soaked right through Anakin's many layers, chilling him to the bone. It fell from the sky in gentle droplets, but perhaps they would have felt better had it not been for the bitter cold that came with them.

Or the wind, the wind that continuously pushed his and Obi-Wan's hoods back, their cloaks flowing out behind them from yet another gust.

"You know," Obi-Wan began with a hint of a smile on his face that Anakin thought he was crazy for.

"Our cloaks probably would have blown away from this wind, had it not been for how soaked they are."

Anakin groaned and rolled his eyes. He wanted to respond, but his mind felt strange, fuzzy, and a response was harder to come up with now than it had been an hour ago.

His teeth chattered vigorously, and his face felt more and more numb as they pressed on, meaning that he needed to put more and more effort into speaking. But all of his effort was being used on staying warm, placing one foot in front of the other, and cursing the horrible weather of the planet that they were on.

"Anakin?" Obi-Wan asked and Anakin looked up from the muddy ground that he was standing on.

"Huh?" He asked, blinking the rain out of his eyes.

"I was calling your name," Obi-Wan noted as a shiver ran up his spine. He knew that if he was shivering this badly, then Anakin must be freezing. And judging by the confusion, the lack of responses, and the way that he could see Anakin shaking from a meter away, he figured that he was probably correct.

"Oh," was all Anakin said in response, the effort to think of something, never mind say it, far beyond his reach at this point.

"Nightfall is an hour away," Obi-Wan remarked as his teeth chattered violently as another shiver tore through him. Forming words and thoughts continued to be difficult, but he needed to focus, he needed to concentrate. He needed to be able to get them out of the forest they were in with trees that reached higher than he could see.

"Night?" Anakin asked as he frowned, and Obi-Wan grew more concerned at the confusion in his face. Anakin's teeth were no longer chattering, but his expression looked far, far away.

Suddenly, while looking at Obi-Wan instead of where he was going, Anakin tripped over a branch and fell flat on his face, the mud and the rain soaking him through to the bone. But instead of getting up, he lay there for a second, his limbs feeling numb and heavy. The effort to get up was slowly coming, but not fast enough, and not strong enough to combat the gravity that was weighing him down.

"Anakin!" Obi-Wan exclaimed, his reaction delayed as he rushed over to help him up. Between muttered swears and shaking limbs, Anakin was standing again after a few moments, wiping the mud and water off of his face.

"How much further do we have to go?" Anakin asked as he looked up at Obi-Wan, his shoulders hunched forward as he tried to brace his body against the wind that seemed to blow even harder now that the sun was down.

Obi-Wan looked up at the trees that reached up to the darkening sky above and sighed. Then sniffled as he looked back down at Anakin whose hood was down, exposing his head to the elements.

"It shouldn't be much longer," he lied with a smile.

But it was, and by the time Anakin and Obi-Wan had reached the point where they had first landed on the planet, they were dragging their feet through the muddy ice, their breathing labored as they leaned against each other, wandering as if they were drunk.

"Just, a little further..." Obi-Wan whispered, unsure if he actually said those words out loud or not. There was no response from Anakin, so he couldn't be sure, but Anakin was still breathing at his side, still taking slow steps, even though now it felt more and more as if Obi-Wan were carrying him.

He had never been so happy to see the twilight before.

The landing ramp lowered, and Obi-Wan and Anakin all but crawled up it and inside of the ship, collapsing onto the floor, which felt strangely warm, once the ramp came up and the door slid shut behind them.

Obi-Wan curled into a ball, reaching a hand out to nudge Anakin, whose lips now looked slightly blue, and whose eyes were now closed.

"Anakin," he whispered, pushing himself up on shaky limbs. His robes were heavy, and weighed him down, and Obi-Wan knew that they needed to change, and fast.

But the effort, the energy to do so wouldn't come, and Anakin wasn't moving at all.

"Anakin," Obi-Wan said more urgently, and Anakin weakly groaned in protest before opening his eyes.

"Tired," was all he said before his eyes slid shut again and Obi-Wan in a moment of desperation, yanked Anakin's robes down, pushing the outer layers aside, which were all soaked through.

Anakin's eyes snapped open and he looked at Obi-Wan with a bewildered expression before clumsily sitting up on his own.

"What are you doing?" He asked, his voice slurred as he looked at Obi-Wan with eyes that were struggling to stay open.

"We need to change, our clothes are soaked," Obi-Wan whispered, his face still feeling numb.

Anakin still had a confused expression on his face, but nodded and forced himself up, he and Obi-Wan leaning heavily against each other as they dragged themselves towards the back of the ship.

Once the two of them had put on dry sets of robes, Obi-Wan moved quickly to catch Anakin as he stumbled again, but his reflexes were also off, and he almost fell over himself as he caught Anakin.

"Come on, Anakin," Obi-Wan said with a grunt and Anakin braced his left hand against the wall to try and push himself up. His right arm lay limp at his side, dangling with the movement as Anakin used his other arm to move and Obi-Wan frowned.

"Is something wrong with your arm?" Obi-Wan asked, and Anakin looked at him with a confused expression, blinking several times before looking down and then back up again at him.

"I can't feel my arm," Anakin replied, and the lack of concern in his own voice made Obi-Wan worry even more.

"You can't-" Obi-Wan began as he frowned and then sighed.

"Because of the cold?"

Anakin nodded.

"That's not good at all," Obi-Wan muttered as he looked down at Anakin's right arm again, and then pulled the hood of the new cloak that Anakin was wearing over his head.

The both of them shivered this time, and Obi-Wan knew that there was something else that they needed to do. They had changed out of their wet clothes, but still, the cold reached down to their bones, and everything felt strangely warm yet cold at the same time. He stood there, his arms crossed over his chest as he tried to remember what he had learned about how to help with hypothermia.

He stood there.

And then he remembered.

Without saying anything, Obi-Wan grabbed Anakin's good arm and pulled him towards one of the bunks in the ship, lifting up the covers with the force and then having Anakin lay down first before following him.

The bunk was far too small for both of them, and they were pressed together. Obi-Wan could feel how cold Anakin's right arm was and frowned again, hoping that huddling for warmth would actually work well enough.

Anakin gave him a quizzical look, but didn't have the energy to say anything else, his eyes slowly sliding shut. Obi-Wan's were as well, but he blinked several times, and then poked Anakin's cheek, forcing him to stay awake as well.

"We have to stay awake," he whispered as Anakin frowned at him.

"If we fall asleep now," he explained, "we might not wake up."

"'m awake," Anakin mumbled in response, shifting slightly so that they were pressed even closer together.

A moment of silence passed, and then Anakin spoke up again, his voice much like the timid one he had when he was a child, instead of the knight that he was now.

"Tell me about Mandalore," he asked as he looked at Obi-Wan with a curious expression.

"About your year on the run."

Our Last Summer

Anakin Skywalker x reader

A/N: Inspired by "Our Last Summer" by ABBA 💕

Summary: Who would of known that the vacation that Anakin & Y/N went on was the last moment of peace before eveything went wrong.

The sun shined so bright that August afternoon that I could have sworn the sun gave out. The heat of the summer sun and the breeze from the water gave in and added to the perfect summer. The birds were flying out of the trees, enjoying their last moments in Naboo before the summer ended. The flowers that layed in the back field stood tall against the sun, taking in the last day of heat. The once perfect days of summer were coming to an end.

Soon, the vacation Anakin and I shared would come to an end, and life would begin. The lengthy vacation Anakin and I took felt like nothing compared to what we thought. Tommorw morning would be spent packing all our belongings and pretending as if it wasn't summer. Pretending that we haven't been spending the last 2 weeks of our vacation in love. The days we spent swimming, tanning, and frolicling in the ocean felt so vast compared to days ago. Almost like the moments that were spent between the two of us, felt so very far away.

I had a feeling Anakin knew I wanted to lay in the field. I simply had left the house and ran away to the field. Anakin was inside watching a hologram from Obi Wan, and I ran. It wasnt that I was running away from Anakin, I just wanted a moment to myself. I wanted a moment to reflect and enjoy the last day of Summer before the facade was over. Before Anakin and I had to go back to pretending to be freinds and not lovers.

The two of us had thought no one had caught on, but we were wrong. Obi Wan knew the two of us were in love the minute we met. The minute yoda had brought me into the temple that day saying I was Obi Wans newest addition. The two mentors had knew that day. They knew that not only Ankain and I would fall in love, but that one day our love would tear us apart. But who would of known that because of our love a legacy was destroyed.

I could hear Anakin before I saw him. I heard the crunching of the flowers, and Anakins huffs every time he stepped on something, but I couldnt open my eyes. I just simply didnt want to open my eyes to find the man that I love, soon turn into my "freind". I thought that maybe, if I closed my eyes long Anakin and I could stay like this forever. If I closed my eyes and thought of the all the memories Anakin and I shared then maybe we could stay like ths forever.

I could sense Annakin sitting down next to me. I knew that he could sense I wanted to be in silence, to enjoy the last minute of summer. Anakin layed next to me and held my hand kissing if every now and then. We layed there for what felt like forever enjoying the ambience of summer and enjoying our last minutes together.

Every now and then when I close my eyes I can still imagine that day. I can still see Anakin and I laying in the field enjoying the sun, holding one another in our embrace not wanting the summer to end.

When the sun had set Anakin and I had headed bsck inside. I groaned and moaned every minute we had walked back to the house complaining to Ankain how my feet hurt. At one point he had picked me up and carried me back to the house, telling me he couldn't hear me complain anymore. I had laughed and tugged him closer whispering to him how much I loved him.

Walking into the house I could of sworn the moment Anakin and I shared was out of a movie. There I stood carried in the embrace of the man I love, consumed in the thought of love while the sun had set. Anakin and I had walked all the way up to the bedroom with him still carrying me. He insisted on it saying he couldnt let me go. Anakin and I were both so consumed with one anothers love that it made us numb.

Anakin layed me down on the bed and we both began to laugh. Gradually Anakin had jumped on the bed laying right besides me. Every now and then he'd play with my hair, hold me a little bit closer, and tell me how beautiful I was. The room was no longer bright like it had been this morning. The sun shined so brightly that morning it woke both Anakin and I up even through the blinds. We were in the same positions as now but tangled up with on another under the blankets.

Unlike this morning the room was now very dark. I could barely make out Anakin, but I could see his face. I could see his blue eyes, smell his sandy blonde hair fresh of shampoo, taste the ocean water we had been in previously, feel his hand on my heart, and hear both of our hearts align.

On nights like this, Anakin loved to put his hand over my heart and for me to do the same. He always said it made him feel more connected while not through the force or our minds, but by using our hearts. The most intimate human connection that anyone could have. Every emotion, reaction, feeling all came from the heart.

Anakin always said he wanted to share his heart with mine to show how much he loved me, how much he cared. Who would of known that was the last time Anakin and I ever held each others hearts. The last time that was spent just between the two of us sharing pure innocent love. The last summer we'd share before everything went wrong.

352 names I made up.

These are names I’ve come up with randomly because I liked how they sounded.

I won’t guarantee they aren’t existing words or names in other languages, because there are finite syllables and combinations of syllables that people can pronounce, and I’ve come up with original names before only to be pleasantly surprised to find they already existed. (for instance: I came up with the name Sahiba, then googled it and found it’s already an Arabic name that means ‘lady’. Which is just cool.)

They’re sorted into alphabetical order, and you will quickly notice that I tend to combine certain letters together, lol.

Some of these might just be actual greek names from mythology that got mixed in with the rest, but IDK enough about greek to filter them out lol.

99% of these are names I came up with for daemons over the years.

Feel free to use for whatever, including naming yourself, lol.

Just so we're on the same page, Archeologist Anakin taking God Obi-wan on adventures with him is no fun.

The guy doesn't like the idea of climbing cause it's not very refined so he either just shifts the rocks of a cliff to make a staircase or fucking teleports cause he came and Ankain gets angry cause his big dick GIVFM (God I'm Very Much Fucking) is taking all the fun out of his adventures.

Worst one was when he told him on an expedition and Obi-wan keeps solving the puzzles without him cause he's kinda all knowing but not really. (You just know Obiwan plays wordle in his spare time)

And he's all pouty when his hubby is keeping him from touching things cause they have ancient diseases on them.

" I'm just saying that maybe I would've liked to find out this was a civilisation of vampire vikings with stupid super syphilis on my own, ya know?"

I absolutely love the idea of Obi-Wan spoiling Anakin's fun. Anakin is like "wow the entrance to this cave is sealed shut but it's fed by a river so I will simply jump down this waterfall—" and Obi-Wan has already opened the door with magic. Anakin pouts the rest of the trip.

I enjoy this whole premise, but hear me out: this is a version of Obi-Wan "Brain Worms" Kenobi! It's possible he's down for touching horrible things that might give them diseases. Because it's not like Obi-Wan can get sick, and if Anakin gets injured Obi-Wan will simply heal him over the nearest surface.

(Obi-Wan playing Wordle is perfect. He deserves all the puzzles!!!)

[kstarlitchaotics]

I don't know why tumblr thinks it knows me I like one or two things of Ankain and Obi Wan then all of sudden I'm getting shipping posts no just no I only see them as brothers thank you very much tumblr

[anakinskywalkerog]

This is completely ridiculous but in another universe instead of the jedi showing up at tattooine its Batman and he adopts ani who then becomes the middle child between Dick Grayson(nightwing) and Jason Todd(red hood). I think anakin would fit the bat family dynamic well. Alfred would be very pleased with his manners and chivalrousness and think he's a good lad, dick would never admit it but he'd be ever so slightly peeved at this. Little murder baby dami sitting on ankains shoulders using him as a means of transport around the manor 🤣 if anakin fell to the dark side in this universe it would be an extra headache for batman and dick cuz oh no anakin and Jason, anakin and Jason of all people have chosen violence and decided to fuck shit up. Obi wan would not deal well with the batfam it'd be such a stress for him not even Alfred's tea would help soothe him but to be fair there's no way obi would set even one of his pristine jedi boots on Gotham ground

Oh oh on another note Hayden should so be a live action Harvey dent just because the tragedy of the face thing would be so angst given how pretty Haydens face is

Bro if anakin somehow ended up in gotham and got hit with scarecrows fear toxin 😭😭😭 he would be haunted by padme like extra hard

this is another crossover that i don’t understand 😅 i don’t really know anything about gotham or batman lol and i don’t know any of these names

but go off queen. bat people tell the anon in the comments whether you agree 😇🤘

[bunnywan]

what are your thoughts on anakin getting called babygirl by obi wan? also.. do u have any thoughts on obikin and cbt?

ok for starters: i am so sorry but the term "babygirl" is like 100% a turn off for me. 😭😭😭 i just cant do it. idk why. maybe cus it reminds me too much of douchey guys i went to high school with?? im cool with other feminine pet names, but babygirl is just SO corny to me i caaannttt. but hey that’s just my personal preference. y’all go wild.

now... on the other hand...

YES I HAVE THOUGHTS ON OBIKIN CBT.

in the madison-verse, the reasons for anakins kinks are usually emotion-based, whereas the kinkier obi-wan gets, the more it's just about his dick lol. (not to say his emotions aren't involved, it's anakin.) but sex and love aren't intrinsically linked for him like they are for anakin. sometimes he does things just to see what will happen. idk why im meta-ing this much but oh well.

anyway, the spank ankain's balls agenda: it's about the trust. being taken in hand by obi-wan in that way, one step more vunerable than just a regular spanking, squeezes at his heart and makes his dick drool. he needs it, needs obi-wan's discipline, his guidance, his hand swatting at him, keeping with his legs spread so anakin can't try and protect himself from the blows that make his stomach curl.

obi-wan takes taking care of anakin very seriously, so he's very focused n firm, until its over and he jerks off all over anakin's sore balls. next week, he'll ask anakin to press one of those pretty, black, leather boots against his dick just to see how much pain he can tolerate. he's a curious guy.

Obi-Wan and Anakin text conversations part 2!

Anakin: Yooooo! I just choked on a grape. I almost died. (1:30am)

Anakin: I couldn't breath for like 5 seconds. Like wouldn't that be weird if that was how I died. (1:32am)

Anakin: Like just imagine walking into my quarters only to see my laying on the ground, grape in my throat and all. (1:34am)

Anakin: Like wouldn't that be weird? (1:35am)

Anakin: Obi-Wan? (1:35am)

Anakin: OBI-WAN (1:35am)

Anakin: Fine I see how it is. I knew it, you want me to choke on a grape. (1:36am)

Anakin: Obi-Wan answer me I can feel you are alive through our bond! (1:36am)

Anakin: Why are your shields so high I can't tell if you're sleeping. (1:37am)

Anakin: Fine, I'll wake you up then. (1:37am)

Anakin: ahsjjdndndndn (1:37am)

Anakin: snjdksnsnnsnsjdjdjndndn (1:37am)

Anakin: ajnsjdkendnxkdk (1:37am)

Obi-Wan: Ahhhhhhhh! (1:38am)

Anakin: Obi-Wan I choked on a grape (1:38am)

Obi-Wan: Ankain I need you to listen to me very carefully. (1:38am)

Anakin: What (1:39am)

Obi-Wan: If you text me one more time in going to lose it. (1:39am)

Anakin: I just choked on another one. (1:43am)

Obi-Wan: There is no way you are still eating them, I thought you said you almost died. (1:43am)

Anakin: I did. (1:43am)

Obi-Wan: I also thought I told you to stop texting me!!! It's the middle of the night! I was sleeping Anakin! (1:44am)

Anakin: Yeah well it's not everyday that I almost die. (1:44am)

Anakin: Actually I take that back. The other day I was speeding and almost crashed into another speeder. (1:45am)

Anakin: I mean I was driving and another speeder almost crashed into me. (1:45am)

Anakin: I wasn't speeding. (1:45am)

Obi-Wan: That's it! (1:46am)

Anakin: I WASN'T SPEEDING! (1:46am)

Anakin: Not trying to be random but someone just knocked on my door. Isn't that weird. (1:49am)

Anakin: Obi-Wan do you think that's weird? (1:49am)

Anakin: They just knocked again do you think I should I get it? (1:49am)

Anakin: Obi-Wan? (1:50am)

Anakin: Wait a minute. (1:50am)

(The next morning Ahsoka found Anakin fast asleep on the floor, surrounded by a pile of grapes and a mess of them all over his face.)
