Just here for the clones.

Decided to start sharing some of my Spotify playlists with y'all! (Guests can hopefully see the list of songs, even if only other people on Spotify can play them--so hopefully this can at least give some inspiration to everybody.) Please note that these are WIPs, and G-rated suggestions are always welcome (I'm always up to discover new music)! 😊

Click HERE to view Feather's Corries playlist! (Note: This is designed to be played on shuffle, otherwise the pacing will be weird.)

This is inspired by the Coruscant Guard as they appear in my happy-ending fanwork AU, "Gently Twinkling Stars." Long story short, this is an unrepentant, absolutely-buckets-of-fluff, no-order-66, clones-get-the-long-happy-lives-they-deserve universe. The Corries are one of the most complex clone families in my stories (which unfortunately mostly still just live in my head, but I do hope to get them into text eventually)--post-war, Commander Fox and his closest brothers pool their pensions and buy a small apartment complex to share with each other, which Fox names "Fox's Den" because it's in his name. (The others give him no end of griping about this.)

Because I ship Riyo Chuchi with Cody in this universe, I made up an OC Mikkian caf barista, Nira, for Fox to marry instead, and they eventually have two biological kids. Jek, meanwhile, marries a different OC, Dacey, who happens to be the widowed mother of tiny Jek Porkins from the Original Trilogy! (I started thinking about their matching names, and the idea of "Big Jek" becoming "Little Jek's" new dad was just too cute to pass up.) Stone adopts a cute little cadet named Sticky, and Rys adopts a baby Ewok. Yes you read that right. Hound still has his beloved Grizzer, and Thorn and Thire remain devoted twins, though very different in appearance--Thorn is one of the most athletic clones and stays quite trim, besides just being one of the unusual blonds, while Thire is a cheerful couch-potato and by far the chubbiest of the Corries post-war. (The others and especially the kids all enjoy using him as a pillow, and he is as smug as a pleased Cheshire cat about this--good luck pulling a child or a vod away from him when they're enjoying unlimited cuddles, snacks, and holovision privileges!)

Some of these songs are about the Guard's wartime days, others about the shamelessly cute antics they get into post-war. This will therefore almost certainly be one of the least-angsty, most-sugary TCW-inspired playlists floating around. But, it still does have some poignant, serious, and action-oriented songs here and there. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Some standout songs:

"I'm Coming After You" by Owl City--since the Corries are policemen of a sort, this song was way too fitting for Fox teasing Nira or Jek teasing Dacey. 😆 I can imagine either of them selecting it from the jukebox at 79's, and dancing with their sweetie (and mimicking the siren sounds in the song until she laughingly slaps him)!

"Team Chaotix" from the Sonic Heroes soundtrack--probably annoyingly "kiddie" when you actually look at the lyrics, but good grief, this like most Sonic songs is actually a banger in tune. And it's about detectives fighting crime. C'MON, that is so "Corrie-coded!"

"Empire of Angels" by Thomas Bergersen--a dramatic instrumental piece for a wide-eyed shiny's arrival on Coruscant, after being assigned to the Guard, never knowing anything but the halls of Kamino before this. I imagine it would be quite overwhelming, especially the gleaming Federal District.

"9 to 5" by Dolly Parton--on a much more humorous note, the Corries' lifestyle probably come the closest of any clones' to matching this song. Imagining Fox and his lieutenants doing a little dance routine to this along a Coruscant sidewalk on their way to the Senate makes me giggle my socks off. 😆 (And yes, "That man" [Palpatine] is most certainly "out to get them" [and everyone else], but he won't succeed in this AU, don't worry!…)

"Parade of the Ewoks" and "Sugar Baby Love" are both for Chicory, Rys' cute little Ewok daughter. 🥰 (She is admittedly a gift I'm giving my younger self--I've said it before and I'll say it again, clones are my favorite Star Wars thing now and Ewoks were my favorite Star Wars thing when I was little, so having a clone adopt an Ewok is a dream come true for me!)

"Superman" by Rachel Platten--a sweet song about letting the strong one be weak for a while. "Put your armor on the ground tonight" is such a touching line for a clone especially! To me, this is a quiet moment between Fox and Nira (or possibly Jek and Dacey).

"Who You Are" by Lunatica--I included this on more than one clone playlist, but I think it's especially fitting for the Corries, who--rather like the Dominos, but for different reasons--often feel like "underdogs," people who especially have to fight for their standing and self-esteem, what with the more unkind senators who probably look down on them a lot.

Practically every Parry Gripp song on this list--like I may have mentioned in another post, I hope people don't find these annoying, as I know they're extremely goofy songs written for kids. But, they just always inspire such cute scenes in my head of the clones playing with their families post-war--and in the Corries' cases, good grief, there were just SO many fitting ones! Most Parry Gripp songs are either about food or cute little animals, and between Coruscant being the main place in Star Wars where there'd be unlimited street food, Thire being a bit of a glutton in my imagination ("Giant Hamburger" is definitely for him), and Hound meanwhile loving on Grizzer ("Sitting on a Beanbag with a Puppy" and "Oh Potato Dog" are definitely for him), there was a bit of an overload here. There's even "Mucho Cafeino" and "Coffee Breath" for the Corries' (and especially Fox's) infamous addiction to caf! 😆

For @petrichordiam

the Jedi Council, rather than despairing at the loss of a High General, senses this for the Opportunity it is and uses the precedent to bench all of the Padawans and many of the young Knights, including Anakin himself; they even manage to extend this to the clones, trapping them all in a Kuzco-Academy-Style High School AU in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant

Palpatine, sensing opportunity of his own, assigns Dooku and Grievous to be the evil headmaster Ukood and his assistant Grievous (completely undisguised) to try to make all of their lives as miserable as possible and create further opportunities to ingratiate himself to Anakin as an ally

as for Anakin himself, he pointed and laughed at Obi-Wan for getting sentenced to sit in the short high school desks right up until he, himself, was also sentenced to try to cram his even longer legs into those same desks

he then started pouting...right up until Padme lets it slip that she thinks he looks sexy in his new school uniform, and they start getting into kinky teacher-student roleplay together

"Do you make a habit of spying on people, sir?" Lier's smile widens, toothy and dangerous as he gives the clone a sideways glance. "As a matter of fact, I do. That's Oracle Squad's prerogative for the Grand Army of the Republic."

Team 117, dubbed Oracle Squad. Jedi knight Lier Cal'caj's tight-knit spec-ops team of shadows spends most of their time on Coruscant, but they've taken their fair share of jobs on any Republic planet where someone's caught the top brass' notice.

holo calls are a great way to... communicate long distance

just a funny further cracky thought, since they're stuck on coruscant while alpha is being the chancellor, and actively trying to be removed from office without crossing obi-wan's moral boundaries or allowing some scum sucker to take the job, every thing alpha does backfires in that it results in him being even more popular as chancellor, the disaster lineage is still running around the galaxy trying to find the missing baby of their lineage

vice chancellor obi-wan in the meantime, has been registered by one of the wild jedi as their official padawan because will of the force (the force thought it would be funny) and in between senate meetings he's going to classes at the jedi temple and catching up with his friends, his wild jedi master, probably jon but maybe master fay, might show up, obi-wan and alpha17 live in the temple in a master-padawan apartment, alpha likes it better than the apartment allotted to the chancellor even if it's unsettling to come out into the living room and see random wild jedi sleeping on the couch of meditating and floating in the living room before alpha's even had his morning caff

if alpha17 took off his cunning chancellor disguise- a pair of glasses- then members of the senate and general politicians wouldn't recognize him at all

jedi, however, are actually frequently face blind and generally rely on the force to identify people and so alpha's cunning disguise doesn't fool the jedi but mace has a headache just being in the same room as alpha so he doesn't see obi wan and therefore can't snitch to the disaster lineage, other council members are busy and honestly try to avoid politicians so they don't go out of their way to see alpha17 when he's in the temple, thus also overlooking obi wan

the exception is, of course, the glorious shaak-ti who is aware but thinks it's funny and also a good bonding trip for the disaster lineage to run around the galaxy, if alpha17 is not wearing his cunning disguise then shaak-ti will refer to him as master alpha17 or knight alpha17 and she's getting on his last nerve but alpha17 respects that she's not a snitch

cin drallig is just glad to have his best little student back and bullies alpha17 into helping to train the jedi guards which alpha finds is a great way to destress after dealing with politicians

the darksaber is glad to be back home

in the meantime, disaster lineage on their galaxy road trip are actually not running across nearly as many sith adjacent situations or crime syndicates or slave rings or general drama because obi isn't there and the force doesn't think that dooku, yoda, and qui-gon would be able to resolve the situation in the best way without obi, they do still run into some however, just enough to keep them busy

Alpha-17 poorly lying his way upwards!

While I don’t think hed give “Alpha-17” as his jedi name I could see him using 17 Fett, and be like “yeah my…. Sperm donors were huge into the numbers as religious craze…yeaah, but that’s why I was given up to the Jedi cause it was definitely a cult” so then you have Knight 17 or Knight Fett who once he feels like the chance they’re gonna try and kill him in his sleep and take Obi-wan is minimal he starts the argument that he should be Master 17 or Master Fett because he’s never not going to take a promotion and pick a fight. His argument is that he has succeeded in raising apprentices to fully fledged soldiers of the force (from a certain point of view he tells himself, raising cadets into soldiers for the Jedi is the same thing)) AND THE FORCE IS LIKE “he’s not wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “ and lets the council duke it out before he and Obi-wan make a get away for the 4th time, they time their temple stays when the disasters are across the galaxy

Cin Drallig has his work cut out for him trying to curb and refine and break bad fighting habits Alpha-17 starts teaching and letting Obi-wan pick up. It’s not that Alpha-17 is not teaching Obi-wan to win fights or look out for his weak points but Alpha-17 can only half bake the techniques and theories of the Jedi fight styles. Alpha and Drallig to be creating some kind of spite-not spite respectship between them at least.

Alpha-17 and Shaak ti becomes friends in “this is the frying pan but I know your ass can add fuel to the fire so be nice” and it goes both ways

Obi-wan always loves coming back to the temple and racing to show Madam Nu what Alpha-17 found him and what they’ve found together but Alpha-17 gets huffy when Obi-wan donates to many of their finds to the archives. Jocaster makes sure to take holos and reports to send to Dooku but knows not to threaten the link Alpha and Obi create with her in helping Dooku and Qui-gon catch the pair

Alpha-17 likes stalking and scaring Sifo-Dyas.

Sifo-Dyas does not like Alpha-17 haunting him.
