Plo seeks to comfort. Comet seeks an apology. Sinker and Boost seek revenge.

(Revenge for what, you ask? Revenge for this.)

I liked this quick response so much that I decided to clean it up and turn it into a real post! I really love drawing Plo holding his sons because I'm made of pure marshmallow fluff.

Baby clones in animal onesies are available as stickers, buttons, and other fun things on Redbubble!

IDK what this is exactly but i was bored and wrote it so I'm gonna post it. Just thinking about what if Boba ran out of angry juice. I can’t hold onto being angry for more than like half an hour so he has to deflate at some point as a kid for like naps and moping time. So here’s that plus some Plo.

When Plo took Boba in to keep him out of prison, he wasn't sure what to expect. Certainly, he figured, there would be anger and attempts at escape. Possibly there would be fights with the other clones. He thought he'd need to lock up the weapons and have a constant clone assigned to Boba's side to keep him from sowing chaos and destruction in his bid to get revenge. 

What he actually got was... none of that. Boba was quiet and avoided the clones but never tried to harm them or make any attempts to flee. He didn't argue or fight the orders given to him. Just did what he was told so he could return to the small private bunk Plo had managed to arrange on the ship for him next to his own. He was almost timid really. It was a child who's anger had failed him and who saw ghosts of his father all around him but was never seen himself. Wolffe watched him like a hawk for the first few weeks, but did any of the clones really see Boba? He wasn't considered one of them from what Plo understood from Wolffe's debrief. It took all of Plo's willpower not to swoop the small child in his arms and promise him he wasn't alone, wouldn't be alone again. But he knew that wouldn't be appreciated. Instead he played the long game. 

We all know the most likely Jedi to adopt his clones would be Plo Koon. However, here’s a thought...

Because the clones are based of Jango Fett, they want a connection to the Mandalorian ways. When the 212th learn Obi-wan spent years on Mandalore (with the Duchess!) they subtly - unsubtly - ask questions about their heritage and culture. Anakin listens in as well - “Did you and Satine every talk about Marriage traditions?” “Anakin!” Due to the Jedi strong belief in traditions and culture, Obi-wan explains with a smile; pleased with this men. 

Everything changes (though he doesn’t realized it at the time) when Obi-wan is explaining the Mandalorian way of adoption to Cody. He decides to demonstrate it right when Anakin walks in. Of course Anakin-Extremely-Emotional-Skywalker takes things too far - “OMG Master!! You’re adopting CODY!” “What?! Anakin n-” “That’s so great! I am gonna tell everyone! Hey Ahsoka, Rex guess what Obi-wan did!!” Next thing Obi-wan knows everyone in the 212th and 501st is referring to his Commander as Commander Cody Kenobi - How did Anakin get it into the records so fast! - and asking him to adopt them as well! Even after he’s explained to everyone no he didn’t adopt Cody because he’s not a Mandalorian Cody’s new name sticks. Although Obi-wan can’t help feel something when he sees his men’s disappointment and oh alright if you want my last name you can have it. After all, it’s not like he is actually adopting them. And that’s how he continues his days till the next meeting with the Jedi and their clone commanders about the war. 

Master Windu’s second, Commander Ponds, had simply been doing his job; making sure everyone was accounted for. “Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex.” “Here.” “High Jedi General Obi-wan Kenobi and Commander... Kenobi?” beat of silence. If it hadn’t have been for his Jedi training, Obi-wan would have smacked his hand against his forehead - but it was a close thing. Instead he kept his face blank - despite the strong desire to glare at his Padawan for putting him in the position - and stared right back at every Jedi and soldier who’s eyes kept switching from him to Cody as if they were playing ping pong. He calmly explained what happened - and how it was very much Anakin’s fault “Hey!” - and expected that to be it. Until Master Yoda shook his head at him in exasperation and slight fondness. 

Turns out Tarre Vizsla had made changes to the Order’s rules that everyone had forgotten because those rules only applied if it involved Mandalorian culture, a culture who very clearly wanted nothing to do with the Jedi. Rules only Yoda knew about because it had been a big deal when he was a youngling. He calmly explain the because of the clones desire to follow the Mandalorian ways and Jango Fett being their template, as well as Obi-wan being a Jedi, it was actually very legal and Obi-wan had indeed adopted Cody. And that’s how Ob-wan learned he accidently adopted the 212th.
