Hi! Oh, there are so many good Obikin fics and it can be a little overwhelming to know where to start, so this is a list that I’m aiming at someone who’s just getting started in the fandom. There are many fics not on this list that I would consider some of my favorites, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend to someone who is just getting their feet wet with the pairing, no matter how good they are. Instead, as I’ve just gotten into a new-to-me fandom recently, I’ve tailored this more towards, “What’s something that feels like an extension of the canon, as that’s what I’m most interested in right now?” or “What’s a fic that’s in the ~20k range, because that’s what I want to get a feel for things, before diving into the novel length ones?” as those tend to be better barometers for figuring out what you like and what you want. Then, once you’re hooked (one hopes–if not, it’s no biggie, there’s plenty of other SW fic to read, too!) then we’ll start shoving the novels and the pwps at you. ^_~ OBIKIN RECS - SOME STRAIGHTFORWARD FAVES: ✦ starbird by imaginarykat, obi-wan/anakin, 8.8k Anakin thinks he knows everything about Obi-Wan but doesn’t.
