It's been really fun working on this story with everyone!

Oh, ho, ho! We can finally post previews of the hard work we've put into our parts for our team this year for @codywanreversebang!

Fic was my part of our team's work. I've been very happy/lucky to work with the awesome @owliix and to see their amazing art!

We're really excited to post the full artwork and story later this week!

Fic Preview:

While the sky was stunning being this close and whipping through the clouds at such a breakneck pace, Cody did not like how far above the ground they were wheeling through the air. After making the mistake of looking down only once, Cody did everything in his power to keep his eyes focused on the swiftly growing shape of the air bison in front of them. As Obi-Wan flew them closer, Cody could more clearly confirm the forms of Fives and Echo hanging onto Boga’s flank for dear life. They weren’t screaming anymore and Cody could only hope that was due to them having lost their voices after the takeoff.

Obi-Wan pulled them up alongside Boga and Cody was able to make brief eye contact with his younger brothers before Obi-Wan did something to the air currents and boosted them above Boga’s back.

Cody looked on in confusion for a second before Obi-Wan looked back at him through an opening in the glider’s wings.

“Trust me!” Obi-Wan shouted.

Before Cody could do more than shake his head in confusion, Obi-Wan had flipped the glider upside down causing Cody to lose his grip from the shock. With a shout, Cody dropped and felt his back hit the top of Boga’s before instinct kicked in and he rolled onto his stomach to better grip Boga’s fur. After he’d deposited dropped Cody, Obi-Wan had wasted no time in zipping toward Boga’s head and antlers where Cody could see the reins whipping untamed in the wind.

“A little more warning would’ve been appreciated, you know?!” Cody shouted at Obi-Wan’s back.

@codywanreversebang​ is here! @nhyhu​ created 3 beautiful art pieces for our fic, and me, @insertmeaningfulusername​, and @embeanwrites​ wrote each one part - the before, the during and the aftermath. We can't wait for you all to see and read it! ♥

Summary:

Qui-Gon is gone and Obi-Wan, freshly promoted to a Jedi Knight, needs to take care of a Padawan of his own, but doubts and insecurities plague him. Elsewhere in the galaxy, Cody and his brothers are struggling through rigorous training on the water planet of Kamino.

They meet and start working together once the Clone Wars begin. They steal comfortable and quiet moments with each other, slowly working their way towards more than just a friendship between Commander and General. But the war is relentless. In a skirmish, Cody is fatally injured. Obi-Wan reaches deep into the Force and into himself to change Cody’s fate, and in doing so, a powerful Force bond is created.

Now, they will have to navigate the war and their growing affection alongside an as of yet unprecedented bond.

or: Obi-Wan and Cody's journeys before and throughout the war and their relationship (in 3 parts)

The first stunning art by @nhyhu​:

Three years ago, Cody ran away from his feelings instead of confronting them. When a Spec Ops mission teams him with Ben Kenobi again, it's finally time to have a chat. During a heated firefight. As one does. smh

HOLD FAST

To believe I walk alone

Is a lie that I've been told

So let your heart hold fast

For this soon shall pass

Like the high tide takes the sand

(Fort Atlantic)

Lleshan, Albania

The man sat behind the low wall. Every few seconds, he would readjust his hold on his weapon, check the chamber, his ammo, peer through the sight. His movements betrayed the calm on his face.

“Cygnus,” he said suddenly and quietly.

“What’s that?” a soft voice in his ear asked.

“It’s a constellation.”

There was an exasperated sigh. “I know it’s a constellation. What about it?”

“It’s the one I look for whenever I can. My favourite constellation.”

“Why’s that?”

“Oh I dunno. Sad story that stuck with me, I suppose.”

“Do you see it now?”

The man peered up at the dark sky, knowing that the person attached to the voice was doing the same. The moon shone bright in the perfect clear sky. Terrible for the op. A little cloud cover would’ve been preferable for all of the stealth they were attempting.

I'm so excited to be able to post the full fic I've been writing for the @codywanreversebang this year! I was incredibly lucky to get to work with and be inspired by the amazing artist @owliix.
