the twilight of the jedi

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Out Foxed

Where there’s Echo, Fives isn’t far behind

names and titles

(originally i was only taking notes on what characters call each other to use for my codywan magnum opus fic)

jedi say...

anakin mostly calls clones by their names, not their titles

^ "trooper" when the clone is unknown/unnamed

^ calls obi-wan "general kenobi" when talking to rex (once)

^ he occasionally addresses rex as "captain"

obi-wan mostly uses names, but also often uses titles

^ obi-wan calls cody "commander" in the movie (early war?)(just sometimes?)

^ when cody greets them with "general [lastname]", obi-wan responds "cody :)"

when obi-wan and anakin are talking to each other, they don't use titles for rex and cody

^ anakin just calls him "rex" when talking to ahsoka

ahsoka almost always calls clones by their names

^ she calls rex "captain" in the blue shadow virus arc, but its life-or-death and shes giving him a direct order

aayla and luminara use titles for clones

yoda doesn't use titles, and only sometimes uses names

plo koon mostly uses titles, but occasionally drops it for wolffe

not clone related - both anakin and obi-wan use padme's name and almost never use her title, which is really funny. padme only remembers to use their titles when talking about them to a 3rd party

clones say...

clones always use titles (for jedi, and higher-ranked clones they're not close with)

"general(s)" and "sir(s)" consistently

^ anakin and ahsoka IMMEDIATELY know rex has been brainwarshed when he says "anakin"

rex DOES drop ahsoka's titles a few times - "ahsoka, it's me, rex" and "ahsoka ordered it"

cody and rex still use titles when talking about jedi that arent present

^ an unnamed clone drops anakin's title and just says "skywalker" when gossiping

cody and rex do not use titles for each other

^ rex sometimes calls cody "commander" during missions

cody knows slick by name and uses his name, not his rank. rex does too

slick calls rex by rank, and uses "sir" for him and cody

slick's men similarly use "sir" and/or rank for higher ranked clones

cody calls the squad "gentleman"

CODY CALLS ONE OF THEM "SON." SCREASMS.

rex calls either fives or echo "kid"

^ REXXXX ALSO CALLS AHSOKA KID.

cody doesn't refer to waxer or boil by rank

the rest - other language used, character notes, and setting stuff - below the cut!

part 1 | part 2

there's barely any clone centric fic recs okay and ive LOOKED and we a desperately in need of more so here's some!!

The Adventures of Fives and Fox by @stationary-cycle-in-motion

crack || Fives and Fox are getting real tired of these loops.

Defiant Sparks by @snowy1138

10/10, 33k+, au set post order 66 || It's easy to hide and let the Galaxy fall into darkness. Easy to lose hope when everyone you love is either dead or mind-controlled. In the midst of it all, Alpha-17 is waiting for a sign. He gets more than he bargained for when he discovers a hidden network of clones fleeing the Empire; those who got out won't be satisfied until every trooper is away from the Emperor's grasp, and that's a plan 17 is glad to be a part of.

[IMAGE ID] by @sourorchard

16/16, 18k+, crack, chatfic || Fox makes the ill-advised decision to log on to the GAR chatrooms during a 48-hour senate shift.

Winter On Lothal by Maddy_B

After the end of the Clone Wars, Wolffe is on an Eat Pray Love tour of the Galaxy. It's not going so well.

Born For This by disdainfreely

Though Padmé is very rarely on the front lines, she spends more time with the men of the GAR than might be imagined. More than enough time to learn that they're more than just designations.

Paternal Instincts by @fractiouskat

Commander Bly: The Galaxy's Okayest Babysitter (aka bly gets saddled with a baby for a few hours)

My Head Is An Animal by @elipson

When Rex walks into an empty bar on some random backwater planet three years after the fall of the Republic, the last thing he's expecting to see is a clone cadet.

let's go gentlemen… by control

crack, chatfic || Brothers, y’know? Incorrigible, the lot of them. Or, Ponds is doing a brother check-in.

kyr'yc by @mageofcole

Kix had been frozen for fifty years; everything he had loved, everything he had fought for, it was dead and gone, leaving him as the last one standing. He’s a clone alone in a galaxy not his own, and his brothers are long dead.

Brothers by meridianpony by @meridiandominoes

Maul tears through his mind like a rancor through flimsi, smashing aside Jesse’s weak protests with terrifying ease. His presence burns. Like someone’s set a white-hot coal on the top of his head and is just letting it burn its way down, deeper and deeper into his brain. It’s a bright, piercing agony that Jesse can’t get away from, no matter how much he struggles against the Mandalorian forcing his arms behind his back.

I Hold My Own Hand by @batsutousai

The Alpha-batch were the best of all the clones, intended to be a one-being army, able to hold their own no matter the odds. They were never meant to need anyone else.

fair by kakia (orphan_account)

Failed. Failed his mission, his orders, but more importantly, he'd failed family. Vode. He needed to be reconditioned, maybe that would fix him. Take out all the parts that made him faulty and then stitch him back together the way he was meant to be. A perfect little toy soldier. (literally my favorite fox characterization ever. the angst *chef's kiss*)

Cin vhetin by @i-like-plan-m

crack || “Are you high?” Rex demanded, hands on his hips as he stared down at them in disbelief and outrage. “On life!” Fives cheered, waving a fist around. “And spice,” Echo said dreamily. Then his eyes widened and he squirmed around, wide-eyed and earnest. “But on accident, sir, so it doesn’t count!”

buried in the night by @victoriousscarf

neyo & wac-47, post order 66 || Once, he'd delighted Neyo, the Marshall Commander with his cold reputation, who's droid was a braggart and a compassionate little thing all at once. Now, Neyo didn't seem to love anything, not even his speeder, and certainly not WAC-47 with his flaking red paint and lack of voice. (not strictly clone centric but worth the read clone & droid friendship)

Anomalies by DyingSucculents

crack || A reporter catches Fives on a bad day. It shows up on the evening news.

to riven & mend by @canarhys

And, picking up his pieces, they begin to put Dogma back together. (or: au where dogma goes free and returns to the 501st.)

Jasmine On Thy Tongue by dharmaavocado

There is Echo and there is Fives. Echo goes before and Fives follows. That is how it was and how it is and how it will always be. (In which Echo is found and lost.)

Haili Cetare by @independent-variables

4/4, 23k+, order 66 didnt happen au || Rex had tried civvy food before. He knew what it looked like, he knew what it tasted like. But nothing could have prepared him for the smell of the nerfburger and crispy-fried tubers currently sitting in front of him. (Rex and other clones struggles to figure out civilian life after war.)

let the river in by @saltsanford

M, 11/11, 154k+ || Kix refuses to let Fives out of his sight after their meeting at 79s. Meanwhile, Fox grows increasingly desperate in his search, Cody wants nothing more than to help all his brothers, and Fives can’t figure out why he feels so odd now that his chip is gone. (one of my all-time favorites fics in the sw fandom. an au where clones are force-sensitive. characterization and world building are *chefs kiss*, especially fives' and kix's. i recommend reading the other stories in the series too bc they are just as good.)

no good, bad, terrible, evil, double crossing light of my goddamn life by qigiined

crack, chatfic || KTE: Ponds, I appeal to you as a fellow man of reason PND: We are not fellows. KTE: A man of integrity with the utmost sense of justice. WLF: don’t fall for this, he’s trying to demote the 501st ‘s Engineering officer KTE: I am not trying to do anything but to retrieve my emotional support device. PND: Kote you can’t make up reasons to demote people you don’t like. FOX: no you definitely can

Field Experience / ffnet by @propheticfire

Kix, Jesse, and Hardcase learn that sometimes the experience it takes to go from shinies to troopers is helping a pregnant civilian give birth in the middle of a warzone.

if i bleed now by @ninastarkov

7/7, 29k+, au || One minute Fives is in a warehouse on Coruscant, waiting to tell his commanding officers of a conspiracy at the heart of the Republic. The next, he’s on the run with his former Commander Ahsoka Tano. There’s chips in the head of every clone trooper to make them kill their Jedi, and the Chancellor is in on it. ‘Do or die’ takes on a lot more meaning when you’re the only two people in the galaxy that can save the clones and Jedi from death, or worse.

you're brave because they broke you by @weareallstardustfallen

series of 4 works, kinda-fixit (gar & corrie relations at least) || Thorn hesitated. Fox gave him a narrow-eyed squint, waiting for him to spit it out. “Also Commander Wolffe’s here,” Thorn said, purposely casual. Fox sighed. “Here, picking his problems up from the tank, or here, he wants something?” “Here, he got his boys out already and he’s still waiting around,” Thorn said apologetically, and then with an amused tilt of the head, “We told him you were busy and he said he’d wait until you were done working.” Fox snorted. Fox, just like Thorn and the other Guard commanders, was never actually done working. (or Fox is maybe not okay, and his batch is maybe not okay with that.)

The Suffering of Boba Fett by @mistbornhero

crack, social media || Who Are Kote and Sarlacc And Why Does Tatooine Leader Boba Fett Hate Them? [Click Here] Cody & Obi-Wan have been peacefully on Tatooine for years when Boba decides to take over. With the help of his brothers, Cody decides to become the biggest annoyance his baby brother could have. Featuring: Fox the Supervillain, Cody the Superhero, Quinlan the Sidekick, Obi-Wan the Intrepid Reporter and a lot of glitter. (tbobf au where the clones survive and makes a living hell for boba just for the fun of it.)

on the naming of bugs by @meerlichts

“Would you still be friends with me if I was constantly playing the trombone, non stop, and there was no way to stop me?” “You can’t play the trombone.” “In this alternate universe, I can.” “Absolutely not, then. I would rather die.” “Upsetting.” Or; Waxer can’t sleep. Annoying Boil seems, all things considered, like the best option.

Channel: 501-Torrent [chatfic] by @oriki-miitad

crack, chatfic || GAR-BOT created channel 501-Torrent. it all goes downhill from there.

From the Smoke and Ruin by @phantom-of-the-keurig

set during the bad batch series, purge trooper cody au || What starts as a routine supply stop quickly turns into a nightmare when Omega is captured by a mysterious, black-armored trooper.

Masks and Ducklings by @chaosgoblinhours

crack || Turning his eyes towards the rest of the room, Fox glowered at his audience- the five shinies that were gaping at him with open mouth and eyes as wide as dinner plates. “No one will believe you,” Fox told them with a sharp tug on his blindfold, causing the knot to unfurl and the silk to slither down his neck. “CO comm codes. Now.”

A Drunken Excursion by BeanieBaby

crack || Turning to everyone, Kenobi declared, “drinks are on me tonight, boys. Feel free to order anything off the menu.” “Sir, permission to profess my undying love for you,” Cody called out, grinning as he blew Kenobi a kiss. “Out of of line, marshal commander,” Fox hissed furiously as the Naboo senator laughed. “What are you gonna do, vod?" Cody stuck out his tongue. "I outrank you.” (part of the author's Senator Obi-Wan AU, and i really recommend reading every fic in that series)

eternal by orphan_account

Yeah i have a few! Here are some that i keep rereading - I'm putting them under the cut!

"I'm excellent at managing simultaneous inputs, Sergeant. It's why i would have made a great pilot."

"No detail slips past me, Private. Its why i would have made a great pilot."

"The sight of the open sky fills me with ennui i can't put further words to. Its why i would have made a great pilot."

"No one has EVER beaten my beatsaber liquid dnb high score. Its why i would have made a great pilot."
