I've never sent in a Fandom Friday Rec before, but I think it's time for me to start!

I would like to highlight @vodika-vibes series of Clone Fairytale AU fics. I haven't caught up on her newest additions, but the ones I have read are positively magical!

If you like clones, knights, princess/princesses, magic, romance, and fairytales, then these are the fics for you! Vodika takes classic fairytale stories and adds her own twists, turns, and flare to create a whole new story that seems eerily familiar.

These fics deserve way more love than they are currently receiving, so I want to get the word out so others can enjoy!

Here is a list of current titles in the series:

The Prince's Wizard - Prince!Wolffe x Wizard!Reader  The Hand You're Dealt - Knight!Jesse x Princess!Reader Ner Kar'ta - Prince!Fox x reader The Mermaid and her ARC - Knight!Fives x Mermaid Princess!Reader The Witch and the Warrior - Prince!Cody x Witch!FemReader Wonderland - Knight!Gregor x f!reader Little Red - Devil!Hound x Detective!Reader Pen-Pals - Sailor!Tup x Reader The Merry Men of Mandalore - Prince!Boba x Outlaw!Reader Neverland - Knight!Howzer x Reader Another Happily Ever After - Knight!Rex x Reader Eternity - Kix x Vampire!Reader The ARC and the Monster - Knight!Echo x Reader Aliit Ori'shya Taldin - Prince!Fox x Reader

HOLY HECK this is QUITE the list with a little something for almost everyone! All of these AU characterizations seem to perfectly fit with the MC chosen for them! Thanks so much for sending these in!

Will do, but some of these are going to be short. They may be elaborated upon later.

Also there’s no way this will be all, but that just means more in the future, doesn’t it. <3

Fox doesn’t sleep because he worries so much about the Guard.

There are many members of the Guard who don’t sleep because they worry about him and worse what would happen to them if they lost him.

There is a karaoke night. It becomes quickly clear very few of them can sing, but that ability will not stop them.

Pup has the best singing voice in the CG but he’d die before standing on a stage and singing.

They managed to get access to tv channels and many of the Guard watch baking shows and fashion shows and anything they can get.

Some of the attempts to make what people make on baking shows end up backfiring. Others earn siblings their names.

There are shinies who watch nature documentaries and dream of seeing the galaxy, those places. They know it might be the best they get.

Fox, Fix, Thire, Thorn, Stone and Hound share a bunk room as the Command Group. The other vode stay away out of respect, they’re always putting everyone else first, they deserve somewhere to be theirs and theirs alone. They can comm if they need someone, and there is always someone willing to give a hug in the main barracks.

The Command Group got absolutely hammered the night the Senate broke up for a three week recess. What the others don’t know is Fox stole the booze from Palpatine. Rich bastard never noticed it was missing.

Fox knows his batch mates (Cody, Wolffe, Bly, Ponds, technically Rex) worry about him, knows they’d do anything to help him and the others under his command, but he lies with a smile anyway. It’s that they’d do anything that keeps him so resolved. There are far too many lives relying on them for that.

Sometimes they sneak Boba out of the supermax so he can spend time with them. He claims he hates it and hates them and that he’s only doing it for a break from prison, but he does appreciate it.

The Guards protect innocents in prison, the ones they know are there because a corrupt politician or rich member of the societal elite wanted them there. It’s not much, but it’s something.

Some of the schools in the lower levels use members of the Guard as members of staff to bolster their numbers. The Guard won’t say no to spending time looking after kids, especially kids in the impoverished areas the politicians don’t care about. They don’t always get paid, and when they do it’s rarely a lot, but teaching kids right and wrong and how to protect themselves is worth it. Sometimes all they do it guard the schools but that’s enough.

They also help out in youth centres and help guard medical clinics and abuse shelters and just helping people. They help the elderly or disabled with household chores if they need, for much reduced prices. The people in those levels feel abandoned by the upper levels, and they don’t want or need soldiers. But the CG go as volunteers.

No member of the CG has ever been officially charged or arrested for a crime.

A member of the CG did the Star Wars equivalent of the Macarena on top of the Senate Building. None of them will ever admit who it was but it started a trend across Coruscant.

It was Fox.

Definitely totally unrelated to the above point, Fox no longer takes dares from his vode while drunk.

The third left door on the second sub-level of the west end of the barracks is a repurposed storage room. Only a few are allowed in, and only Hound without permission. It’s Pups quiet place to be alone and cut off from the world. Pup has been known to let other vode use it once or twice because it was the kind thing to do, but Hound made other similar rooms and then the soft room so Pup didn’t have to give up his sanctuary.

Genetics or chance, every single member of the CG loves cheap cheese ball puffs. If a bag or three end up in the rec room or mess hall there’s always a fight. Hound always makes sure a bag ends up in their room that they can share, but that doesn’t necessarily stop the fighting. Thire and Stone both ended up in med bay once. They both blame Thorn, especially because by the time they got back he was sitting there eating them.

Thire and Thorn swapped amour and duties only once. No one noticed but they just didn’t like each other’s jobs.

All animals love Hound. It can definitely hinder missions, but Grizzer scares them off. Hound is his person.

The Command Group have cuddle piles and help each other’s nightmares. They could never tell their younger vode their worries because they’re in command, but with each other, it’s safe. Only Hound will admit it, but they all sleep better knowing each other are safe.

Thanks for asking. This was fun to put together.

It starts with a small choice. After a long day of standing and doing quite literally nothing for hours on end, the Temple Guards who were on the day shift disperse into Coruscant. Technically not against the Jedi Way but going to get inebriated or just bar hopping for the fun of it— or worse, getting into the semi-illegal, underground, lower level fighting rings— wasn’t exactly something that the Jedi looked favorably upon.

But the Jedi Temple Guard get restless after standing still for so long, especially the newer Guards, and Cin pretends he doesn’t see when a group of his kids Guards come stumbling back in the early morning hours with credits won from a gambling match and wide grins.
