for the flower asks: queen anneâs lace and anakin?
Hi!!!
Here it is! I took the liberty of adding a new padawan for Obi-Wan (who Anakin found for him, since that's a headcanon of mine)
Happy AU where the war is over, but there are some angry people at the Senate still
Queen Anneâs Lace- âWho did this to you?â
The doors to the medical bay opened as Anakin walked inside. Behind him, a small padawan tried to keep up with his long strides.
On one of the beds, Ahsoka was being looked over by a Jedi healer. Her cheek was swollen and purplish, her lip split and matted with dry blood.
âMaster,â she said, and winced as the word pulled on her wounded lip. Anakin pressed his hand on her other cheek gently, the tiny padawan still stuck to his side. He moved her face around, inspecting her face with a fearsome frown.
âWho did this to you?â He asked, his voice made of ice, making Ahsoka try to make herself look smaller and the other padawan flinch where he was standing. âWas it another padawan?â
Ahsoka shook her head. âNo, no, master, it wasnât in the temple.â She explained frantically, looking at the healer for help. âI was at the Senate and someone tried to attack Senator Amidala.â
The explanation only made Anakinâs frown even deeper. âWas it another senator?â
âNo, just a random citizen who had managed to sneak inside, the clones took him as soon as I stopped the attack.â
Anakin pursued his lips critically, accepting the pack of ice the healer was handling him and pressing it gently against Ahsokaâs swollen cheek. The padawan at his side finally moved forwards and got onto the bed, cuddling against Ahsokaâs side.
âBabysitting again?â She teased, making the little boy frown.
âObi-Wan is in a meeting, we were practising katas.â Anakin shot back. âWeâll make him a fearsome Djem So user, Iâm sure.â
âsurprise surprise bitch you took a perfectly good boy and now he had trauma, obi-wan is gonna un-fall him and helps him speak again and you, sidious, will dieâ this is gold shatou and whatâs more I bet this is exactly what is going through obi-wanâs head verbatim; baby vader flinches away from electricity maybe and obi-wan immediately goes âhey do you want me to kill sheev for you because I could totally do thatâ
oh. oh my god. oh my goddd
tbh i don't even know where we are in the timeline with mute baby vader but i really do love this image of vader being around obi-wan in a peaceful enough setting for obi-wan to see him come in contact with his trauma triggers and flinch. like just:
(cw for... trauma response? idek what to tag, just. yknow. standard sith stuff)
Obi-Wan glances around. There is nothing but dilapidated machinery and rusty droid parts scattered about. The walls are all bare duracrete and bricks, and there's a large hole in the roof, a great black pool that is the starless sky. The warehouse must have been abandoned for a long time, by the look of it. It matters not; Republic aid should come in time, following the signal he has sent out, and all there is to do is wait. He gives the bond in his hand a light tug - some may say it's far too gentle for the likes of his... companion.
The Sith beside him is practically seething in silence, febrile golden eyes fixed on him in a gaze as sharp as a bone splinter. He doesn't speak; he never does. Not that Obi-Wan knows of, at least.
"Vader, aren't you?"
Vader glowers, eyes narrowing, tugging at the glossy scar that runs over his brow and eye corner. He yanks at his Force-inhibiting cuffs, which only results in them digging into his wrists hard enough to wrangle from Vader a pained growl. Obi-Wan sighs. He has long theorized that Vader cannot speak, and if so... Not only does it complicate matters logistically, but it also makes him feel really quite terrible, for many reasons.
"Don't try it, please. Sit down and rest your feet if you will. We have been walking for quite some time."
Predictably, Vader ignores every single word he says. He stands opposite from Obi-Wan in the moldy, dusty air, as far away as the bonds allow, and stares at him, wary and murderous. Obi-Wan only regards him with tired eyes. Pity is never a desirable thing, but what else is there to feel toward this tormented creature of hate?
Silence stretches between them for an eon and a half, charged with less-than-gentle intents. And then, all of a sudden, light flashes.
It comes from above. Lightning tears across the darkness of the night, followed by a great rumble. Wind whirls through the holes and cracks in the half-ruined warehouse, carrying with it the smell of a coming storm. Another flash of lightning, another crack of thunder, then the first pitter patter of rain - but nature is not what catches Obi-Wan's attention anymore.
The bonds that tether Vader to him tugs frantically, tossing around as if it's tied to a terrified nexu on the other side. Harsh, teeth-gritting sighs are all that can be heard. Boot soles scrape against the ground. In the darkness and the beginning of rainfall, all he can see is Vader's sharp movements, almost manic in their repetition.
"Vader," Obi-Wan begins. With this much tugging, Force knows how tight the cuffs have gotten. He steps up to shorten the distance and hopefully loosen the bond, but it seems the sound of his footstep only agitates the Sith even more. "Please stop doing that. You're going to injure yourâ"
Earth-shaking thunders cut off his words almost at the same time lightning illuminates the entire scene.
When it quiets, all quiets - including the Sith.
Vader's looming silhouette has collapsed to half its height. He's sitting on the ground, Obi-Wan realizes with a pang, with his legs pulled to his chest and his face pressed to his knees. It's too dark to see how badly he's shaking, but he is shaking, for a fact. Obi-Wan waits for a few moments, his lips in a tense line, before taking a step forward. The rain slides cool against his skin and he pays it no mind.
"Vader."
The Sith makes no sound. Obi-Wan ventures forward in another step, and another, and finally is able to crouch beside him. Tentatively, he places a hand on Vader's shoulder.
The most ill-timed lightning in the history of the universe cracks across the sky.
The thunder that follows isn't half as deafening as Vader's quiet, terrified, Please, Master, no.
Vader doesn't even flinch under his hand, a stark and deeply concerning contrast to the frantic attempts at escape earlier. Everything clicks into place in the most gut-churning manner. Darksiders do have much use for Force lightning, don't they? Punishment by electrocution is not at all a far fetched notion. And yet, a deep disquiet and a sudden, roaring sense of injustice still rise in Obi-Wan's chest. Because he knows now that the Sith truly cannot speak.
idk if youâve seen the tv show the thick of it but I just need ssk to be the spin doctor for the republic constantly bollocking the hapless senators who donât know what theyâre doing because itâs his job to fix their messes. he goes soft around anakin but anyone who comments on that is IN FOR IT; the only competent person in the entire bureaucracy is his assistant who definitely did not sign up for this
funny you should ask about the thick of it, because as a huge Veep fan (and after watching in the loop years ago,) I tried looking for the english version of the show but itâs so hard to find that I regretfully gave up! But what Iâm hearing is Obi-Wan as Palpatineâs directors of communications Ă la Malcolm Tucker and Iâm... absolutely into it, his threatening shadow looming over Senators who ran their mouth at the absolute worst time and know that Kenobi is coming and going to obliterate them with words that will feel like punches in their teeth before saving the wreckage they have caused one cynical reminder of their stupidity at a time, supported by his unflappable assistant who only needs a long and uncomfortable blank stare to share her judgement. (Obi-wan is frighteningly good at his job and gets really into it, he kind of forgets that this is just supposed to be a cover)Â
But I especially love that he only likes one person and one person only, so you can have Anakin doing a Very Bad Thing vs any Government member causing a minor inconvenience like:Â

ok ok but whereâs the good omens au where anakin is a Really Evil Demon and obi-wan is an Extremely Angelic Angel and theyâre both just ridiculously attached to each other WHERE IS IT
I HAVE REALLY GOOD NEWSâIT EXISTS!!!
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
The description reads:
Anakin is a Sith who didnât so much Fall as unwisely follow the suspicious dark-hooded stranger into the windowless black space shuttle. Obi-Wan is a Jedi who just wants to collect old texts and artifacts and not worry about the eternal war between light and dark. But the prophecy of the Chosen One is about to come to fruition, and the ancient orders of Jedi and Sith are preparing by sending out their most valiant (expendable) warriors to skew the balance of the Force in their favor. However, the galaxy is a large place, and the two enemies find that they might have more in common than they realized. aka the Good Omens AU that no one asked for.
I hope @berrymascarpone knows that literally, someone did just ask for it.
jedi archivist anakin with amber eyes?? tell me more đ
ehehehe I think I mentioned most stuff I talked about him with Kit in the drawing already buy basically, he became an archivist because that way he would get moslty solo missions when he went out to research and then wouldn't need to interact with other Jedi much
Don't take him wrong, he woul love more interaction but since most Jedi have the memories of Sith fresh in their mind, they keep their distance.
So far, people who don't mind his eyes are his own Jedi master and Obi-Wan (a Knight a couple of years older) who is desperately in love with him (it's mutual). Even Obi-Wan's eventual padawan (not Ahsoka) is hesitant towards Anakin due to his eyes.
Also maybe this is set in the High Republic Era but I'm not sure yet
If there is something specific you would like to know about him let me know!
favorite thing about them: I love how cool she is, even under dire situations she remains calm and doesn't panic
least favorite thing about them: Hmmm, maybe her design? Her character design is great, I love especially her lekku but I think it falls into the same cathegory a lot of female designs where sexy is more important than practical. That's not the character in itself's fault but well
favorite line: I can't decide between this one:
"Sometimes it takes courage to stick to one's beliefs, young padawan, as any Jedi well knows."
or this other one:
Admiral Yularen: Are all Jedi so reckless? Aayla: Just the good ones.
brOTP: Anakin & Aayla, they are great I wish we had more episodes with them
OTP: I don't really have one? I guess PadmĂŠ/Aayla, it's a fun ship, but honestly, the ships I've seen with her are all nice and chill
nOTP: hmmmm I don't think I have one? Idk
random headcanon: she was Anakin's first time Since Quinlan and Obi-Wan are friends, she was one of the first friends Anakin made at the temple. And since she was older and cool, Anakin was super happy to spend time with her, even daring to leave his master's side to go away and explore the temple with her
unpopular opinion: Hmmmm I guess I don't completely see her super wild side? I guess it comes from the EU (Legends or Disney, I don't know, maybe both) Yes, she clearly has a teasing side (I mean, her master was Quinlan and one of her friends is Anakin) but I guess she's more the type to go wild but hide it under a calm demeanor IDk
song i associate with them: next question? I don't really have any? ;;w;;
favorite picture of them:
I found this one from the Disney Infinity game and I think it's very cute
