✨THE DUKE OF CLOCKWORK ✨ Do you love Obikin? Do you love Bridgerton? Well, maybe this story is for you then!

Summary:

Widowed Lord Obi-Wan Kenobi, Duke of Mandalore, has been living a secluded life ever since the loss of his wife, but his 18-year-old son's desire to pursue marriage has him return to the bustle of Coruscant's season.

Anakin Skywalker is the young protege of Lord Sheev Palpatine, Earl of Sidious, plucked from the life of a commoner and brought to the sparkling city to find a bride.

As rumors of a coup against the Queen and King begin to spread throughout the ton, Obi-Wan and Anakin find themselves captivated by each other. But what if the rumors are true and their deadly intent threatens the growing tenderness between them.

At last, I get to share with you all my entry of the @obikinbb Big Bang 2024! It was my first time entering into such an event and I am so happy I did, even if I was cursing and crying and spitting towards the end. I definitely learned to keep it shorter and sweeter for the next time. Instead ... have a novel :D

But more importantly:

Look at this gorgeous artwork that @imperfectmooncat created! It perfectly captures one of the sweetest moments in the story! Go show her a ton of love! I could not have asked for a better partner for my first Big Bang experience. She was patient when I lagged, encouraging when I needed a push and so, so kind and sweet in her feedback! Thank you so much, friend, for the amazing collaboration! You can find more of her lovely art either here on tumblr @imperfectmooncat or on Instagram
