“Real spies do not do this,” Illya says. He squints judgmentally at Napoleon.

Not everything has to be a game. To those two, though, it always was.

“The last time I was on Jackson’s Whole,” Miles says, louder, “I saw a factory that produced lava lamps. Just… thousands of lava lamps. And I’m wondering why. It haunts me, Ivan.”

“Oh dear,” Obi-wan says. His hand drifts to hover over his lightsaber. “I’m sure no offense was meant, Oh Great Sun-Rises-Over-Mountains-Already-Lit-With-The-Fire-Of-Ten-Thousand-Torches.”

“Can we just pretend I didn’t just say that?” Rex agrees through the hand he’s clapped over his face. Kriff. At least it’s just him and the General -- the rest of the squad would never let him live it down if they were here.

Sun-Rises-Over-Mountains-Already-Lit-With-The-Fire-Of-Ten-Thousand-Torches   draws itself up threateningly, suckers contracting and expanding with ominous squelching noises. “Gloob bah,” it burbles. Rex takes this to mean something along the lines of ‘no, you have grievously insulted me and my entire clan for the last forty three generations.’

“I’m very sorry,” Rex tries. Hell, he wasn’t bred for this.

“He is,” Obi-Wan agrees. At least somebody has his back. “How may we apologize to show our sincerity?”

The chief burbles again, a longer and more complicated sound. Obi-Wan nods along and strokes his beard, letting out the occasional ‘hm’ and ‘ah, of course.’ 

“What do we have to do?” Rex hisses after they’re done.

“”Nothing serious,” Obi-Wan murmurs back. “Although really, it’s what you have to do, my dear.”

“How do you feel,” Magnus kisses him again in the middle of his sentence, like he just can’t help it when their lips brush with every word, “about hickeys?”

7:Where did the title come from?

A PUN, because I am Captain Nerd of the pirate ship Nerd. According to google, ‘faciens fluctus’ means ‘making waves’ in Latin. And. It’s a fic about pirates, soooo.

9:Were there any alternate versions of this fic?

Hahahaha yeaaaaaaaaah. I think the concept for it started due to one of Harvey Smith’s tweets, or maybe after I read the Dunwall Archives concept/artboook and it mentioned that Karnaca was a pirate den? I don’t remember, exactly. But anyway, at that point in time both I and @teaguernartin were super obssessed with playing Dishonored (teaguer had played it like six times in around three weeks, lol) and I was constantly screaming about Daud retiring. Anyway, teaguer and I chatted a bunch and I slowly hammered out an actual plot for the fic (it.. is actually fully plotted, which almost never happens, I just need to.. you know.. actually sit down and finish writing it WHOOPS). Along the way we iterated through like 4 different ideas. Here’s a sample of what it was like:

obi wan sleeping in just his tunic b/c he was too tired to do more than take off his boots and (muddy, ruined) pants before he fell into bed

and then AN EMERGENCY and he just shoves his feet into his boots and runs out ready to fight

and everybody is like... general

general you.. don't have any pants on

and the tabard is the only thing keeping his modesty intact

cue rex & cody (& even anakin maybe) kind of... brain imploding

rex and cody have to fight down simultaneous HILARITY and INCREDIBLE LUST

anakin is like 'i am never letting u live this down, master'

obi-wan looks down at himself, the rumpled top, the boots, his human legs covered in light brown hair, and sighs

'what's the emergency,' he reminds them, patiently

(just hanging out. in. in all senses of the word.)

(rex can't answer -- he's paralyzed looking at the shadow between the two ends of the tabards that fall underneath obi-wants belt. he doesn't even want to see obi-wan naked this way, why can't he just move his eyes??)

's-seperatist ship sighted sir,' cody reports, faintly. he can't look away from obi-wan's bare knees above his boots.

'then i have time to change,' obi-wan says. he turns away and rex and cody choke. the quickest peek of the curve of obi-wan's bottom appears and disappears as he walks

'i feel like i should be traumatized,' anakin says, looking between the two clones
