redraw of @galateagalvanized ‘s amazing Riyo Chuchi Vogue cover cosplay :3

Cody and a few other clones (might be like Waxer and Boil? Usual suspects) are on a mission and get captured by some smugglers who turn out to not be smuggling animals, but people. Meanwhile Obi-wan is ALSO on the ship undercover as a sith, and he helps them escape by kissing Cody to slip him the key.

This blog is a lovely idea! Thanks!

Hi, I think this is Smuggled in by GalateaGalvanized :)

There's also a variation of the fic from Obi-Wan's POV called Running Contraband by adiduck!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: CC-2224 | Cody/Obi-Wan Kenobi Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi, CC-2224 | Cody Additional Tags: CodyWan Remix Challenge 2022, Order 66 didn’t happen, Mission Fic, Fluff and Humor, Obi-Wan Also Doesn’t Know Why This Keeps Happening To Him, Potentially Slightly Dubious Consent (See Notes) Summary:

Two months to insert himself into the organization. Two months of investigations, of careful inquiries, of timing his own arrival against that of the real leader of this operation. Two months of foul little people and watching sentient beings disappear into a system he knew he could not yet upend and doing his best to remember the way Xanatos had spoken, of finally locating the flagship, chilchinna musk in every nook and cranny and probably sinking into Obi-Wan’s very pores—and confirming that the real inventories would be on board.

Two months of this, and Obi-Wan was so very, very close to being done with the whole business.

So, of course, his former Commander and a handful of his former men had crashed his undercover operation in what Obi-Wan had, optimistically, been thinking would be his very last week. Obi-Wan genuinely didn’t know what he’d expected.

(Or: Cody crashes Obi-Wan’s undercover op. Obi-Wan… improvises.)

OH MY GOD IT’S HAPPENING NOBODY PANIC!

This is a remix of @galateagalvanized‘s fic Smuggled In for @codywanremixchallenge! Chel, you have so many, many, many amazing fics, and I hope I did this little one justice in the time we had for this event! It’s wonderful--all your fics are wonderful--and I hope you like this POV shift as much as I enjoyed dreaming it up! Everyone should absolutely go read the whole of Chel’s body of work, and also the rest of the remixes! There are just so many wonderful writers participating and I am so very, very, very excited!

A very quick note for those of you who have scanned the tags (also at the top of the fic itself on ao3--stop reading here if you don’t want spoilers!):

For this game:

............Yes and no LOL Okay, so the truth is, I already HAVE included little tidbits here and there of my real life job in... a few of my works. *eyes the convo in eop between Cody and Obi-Wan about the Trade Federation's activities and the lengths they are taking to avoid having to report them*

That said, I tend to write for FUN. I don't want to get super technical about my job and the various struggles involved, you know? So while I'll absolutely include the sorts of ISSUES I encounter, I don't know if I'd ever write someone doing exactly what I do.

Do you/would you like to write professionally? In my youth, I would have said absolutely yes. Nowadays I prefer to keep my fiction writing as a hobby. I do professional ttrpg writing on occasion, but it is a lot of effort and time!

8. Favorite quotes? Oh god I haven't thought of any in so long, but the current one sticking in my head is from If We Were Villains : "But that is how a tragedy like ours or King Lear breaks your heart—by making you believe that the ending might still be happy, until the very last minute." Also just like. So much from this book. Wowsers.

15. Answered in the previous post!

👖 Are you a planner, plantser, or pantser? Is it consistent?

I feel like I'm about 85% planner and 15% plantser. I don't let myself start writing something unless I know how it ends and what most of the middle looks like, which almost always involves numerous,, uh, .txt documents for notes (yes I started using notepad on my computer for planning purposes and may have actually written a full fic or two in there completely, which I know is weird and a little chaotic). Much like in all my other projects (sewing, PhD research, vacation travel, etc) I really prefer having a plan laid out already before I do it, even if I end up deviating from it in small, organic ways. So lol yeah I'd say it's pretty consistent, across my life and not just fic.

💻 Do you do research for your fics? What's the deepest dive you've done?

Oh boy, I do so much research for fics but I love doing it so much it's almost an indulgence. I once looked up the frequency of particular minerals in the French Alps just to see whether a fictional country would have used it as decoration in a children's toy. The thing about research is that it's usually something I'm already interested in, hence why I'm writing about it in the first place, so I'll gladly use my academic access to find sources for fic things. I think my deepest dive was into tech stuff for the PacRim AU? NZ south island hiking trails and local marae? Or maybe through wikipedia articles on plants.

At the same time, I do enjoy making stuff up, but I think made-up stuff has to be able to fit logically into a context that makes sense, which for me is achieved either through research or prior knowledge.

👀 Do you have any WIPs that you would never let see the light of day? If yes, what are they about?
