Since i’m having the worst writer’s block for the past few months, i’m going to do head cannon for my AU!
TCW Era
Riyo and Ahsoka never publicly revealed their relationship to the public. Ahsoka mostly to not touch the general mess that was the whole anidala secret and Riyo to protect Ahsoka from general scrutiny from the other senators.
Ahsoka did reveal it Shaak Ti and Plo Koon though mostly to ask advice on how to deal with the discord that could come between duty and love.
Fox keep an ever consistent distrust of the Jedi even with his closest brother insisting their the best. Tough he never capitulate on the issue the mix of Yoda’s kind word, Stass fair reporting and Vos showing just as often on a stretcher as he would with dangerous bounties made him softened up.
Aayla and Bly relationship started in whirlwind (Kamino’s sexual education was laking and they were yet to put in place sexual sanitation measures throughout the GAR), but they kept it extremely hidden on the advice of Vos and the rest of Aayla lineage. Maris Brood (Aayla padawan in this AU) was quite to surprised to discover that her apprenticeship came with a baby sister.
Quinlan jealously keep a whole photo album of Ashla. Bly is still flummoxed on how is father-in-law got in the ship without anyone seeing him.
The Clone have a secret intranet. It’s main creators (Gree and Blackout) keep saying it should be kept totally isolated and secret but once Fox (dubiously) obtains a few servers room, the intranet turn into the biggest communication system during the war.
A separate Padawan intranet is created lather because many of the younger apprentices keep demanding to send communication to their friends trough out the galaxy. The separate network to keep the padawan away from the clones fowl mouth. (Wolf idea surprisingly)
Post-Forced Knighting Era
The forcés knighting was the demand of senate of a thousand senior padawan who had demarcated themselves during the war and be put in charge of the next generation of clone units. Their youngest would a seventeen years old Ahsoka Tano, the padawan of the legendary Knight without Fear. The Senate knighted whit out including the Jedi Council as a military matter for the safety of the republic. These very young generals would accumulate the highest casualties rate for senior officers of the whole war.
This is the main divergence as the war continues for three more years than the original timeline.
Ahsoka’s teeth fully come in around this age, especially her canines. It does have one unforeseen side effect. When they get lost in their making out, it isn’t rare for Riyo to cut herself on her girlfriend sharp teeth, leaving two small incision on Riyo’s lips.
It’s around those time that Dooku comes to his senses (Ha! Not at all) and comes to the conclusion that Obi-Wan is too devoted to the republic and the Jedi and change targets. Ahsoka would get kidnapped many times by the count but would resist every attempt to turn her to the dark side. The Makashi lesson was a good bonus.
It’s how she befriended Ventress (who is still dooku’s apprentice at the time). They both share a general feeling of abandonment by their master and those they fight for and drown it in Count Dooku Serenian Brandy’s reserves.
By the third year of war, the Coruscant guard has become a full on player and problem to Palpatine, as the one underfunded and isolated unit as built a powerful alliance of merchant/triad/local police departments and have started to undermine the Chancellor underworld allies (like the Hutt). This war would escalate when the Shadow Collective would drop on the criminal scene.
While mutineers are rare within the ranks of the GAR, resentment against navy officers started overflowing over the common incidents that came from clone/officer interaction. After all the clone are cattle/ slave legally whit in the republic. Fragging started to happen on a small scale. The most prominent example was of course one Pong Krell (fuck Pong Krell).
Ahsoka start as a knight come in isolated mission to support various pro-republicans(ish) guerrilla. Her and the 332nd would work with many from onderon freedom fighters to Bo-Katan Night Owl and many in between. While she does find her footing professionally, her isolation make her more and more disillusioned toward the republic and the senate as whole. It’s not helped by finding her lineage history with the republic (Yoda’s meddling over the years, massacre at Galidraan for Dooku, Qui-Gon repudiated first padawan and fallen second padawan, Obi-Wan’s mess of a padawanship and secret son he doesn’t know about and Anakin increasingly unsubtle relationship to Padme and it’s many effects on the 501st). She does get a renewed bond with Feemor and his new padawan Themis.
A part two is coming for the early rebellion era abd further beyond.
