Hi all! I'm happy to reveal that I was paired with the amazingly talented @sa-ua for @codywanreversebang! Check out the gorgeous art preview above, and check out this fic preview below. Then be sure to keep your eyes on AO3 and tumblr for the complete fic and art once it starts releasing next week. We can't wait to show it to you!
Cody doesnât really get angry.
But anger, a true, boiling rage, has only struck him once or twice in his lifetime. Rage provides clarity, but it can make a person sloppy. Heâs drilled this lesson into shinies a hundred times over.
The lesson flies out of his head as he takes a heavy step forward. He snags Obi-Wan by the front of his tunics, dragging the General closer. In the back of his mind, a version of him who still answers to CC-2224 is screaming about insubordination and decommissioning and âGood soldiers follow orders.â
âWhat were you about to say? Hurt? Maimed? Captured? Killed? Go on, General. Tell me precisely how you planned to finish that sentence.â
Obi-Wanâs arms come up, but he makes no move to break Codyâs grip, or even to shift his chest armor, which has rucked up around his neck.
Instead, he gently sets both of his gloved hands against Codyâs armored forearms.
âCody,â he says softly. âI didnât make this decision lightly.â
âYou shouldnât be making it at all. You were the one who told me we were a team, remember?â
The words feel like blaster bolts streaking past Codyâs teeth, hot and intended to do damage.
And they hit their mark if the way Obi-Wanâs expression drops is any indication.
âWe are a team,â he says, heat simmering in his voice. âBut when one of us isnât seeing the full picture, it falls to the other to fill in the blanks. And in this instance, I must be on the frontlines to prevent mass casualties. Iâm not worthâŚâ
âNot worth what?â Cody feels every brother on the bridge turn to them now. He shouldnât be speaking this way. But neither should Obi-Wan. The man is a Jedi, attuned to life and the Force and peace. He shouldnât be so blasĂŠ about potentially sacrificing himself.
More to come! We hope you'll join us!
