Hello lovely! How are you? Enjoying the run up to New Years? 

23.) fics you wanted to write but didn’t

Hmm.... I wanted to write a Blaayla fic because they are so deliciously tragic but I apparently do not have the bandwidth for that. BUT I WANT TO. I SO WANT TO. I am trying to figure out if I can fit Bly into the back third of After the End because there is a small clone subplot. 

I also started a niche rarepair fic that won’t see the light of day but I ADORE IT. It’s so healthy. 

And General Ghost. I wanted to work on his story but, like the Spanish Inquisition, no one expects T&K to land in their lap. 25.) a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

Court and Spark by @jerseytigermoth 

This is an amazing fic which brings together an emotionally damaged Ben Kenobi and a grieving but stable Anakin Skywalker in a lovely old house in Maine during a snowy winter. Somehow they find themselves falling in love over the course of a few weeks and while Ben has a LOT of issues that he has to deal with, Anakin is there for him every step of the way, his rescue puppy Artie at his side. With loving guest appearances by Jocasta Nu, Dex, Vokara Che, Ahsoka, Padme and Rex, in all his quietly affectionate wonderfulness, this is a BEAUTIFUL fic to curl up with on a cold, snowy day. It’s almost finished but even if Jersey can’t make it back to the fic, it’s reached a touching and satisfying resolution so you’re not driven to online stalking her, driving to her location and shouting at the top of your lungs “OKAY BUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT????”

Which would be weird. So please don’t do that. XD

ALSO...

I WANT MORE HORIZON LIGHT OKAY? IT’S BY @glare-gryphon. IT’S AMAZING. I WANT MORE OF IT AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET MORE IS TO CONVINCE EVERYONE TO GO READ IT. 

It is Star Wars x Pacific Rim Mashup and it. Is. AMAZING. STELLAR. IT MADE ME SAD ABOUT THE PROBLEMATIC GLACIER. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS FIC. 

DOOKU IS A JAEGER PILOT. WITH VENTRESS. IT IS SUBLIME. 

I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. YOU MUST READ THIS. GO. COMMENT. KUDOS. MAKE GLARE WRITE MORE!

27.) favorite fanfic author of the year

But you’re all so awesome! That’s like chosing my favorite clone! Rex, no Fives, No Cody! No no no! Echo! NO DAMNIT! IT’S REX-WAIT!

In lieu of picking a favorite, I would like to give props to @hellsbellssinclub for her fantastic work on Across the Stars. She’s worked so hard on this fic and I am so proud of her for sticking through the long months and updates. I know how hard it is to keep up interest for a long fic so MAD PROPS TO YOU BELLS! 

Also I would like to give a shout out to @thefiresofmustafar for her ongoing and ambitious Atlas Project which is inspired by different songs on the ablum Atlas Year One or Year Two by Sleeping At Last. She’s done some lovely work on this project, most recently on forgiveness is a lesson he cursed you to learn and i will rearrange the stars, pull them down to where you are which has the most fantastic mid-labor quote from Padme.

“Anakin Skywalker, if you don’t get your former Master in this room in the next ten seconds I will strangle you with my bare hands, labor be damned,“

Do not argue with the woman giving birth to your twins, Anakin. You will not win.

28.) longest fic you read this year

Coda. Equinox? No, actually A Walking Shadow by @writegowrite which I love and adore even as she calls it her red-headed step child of a fic. And I don’t care what she says, the Obikin is not subtext imho. It IS text. Also, Obi-Obi is the cutest nickname. Almost as cute as Bibi. 

Oh! No! Actually the winner is  Negotiation by Glare. Which I did not understand before I watched Hannibal and now I understand SO MUCH MORE. 

SO. MUCH. MORE. XD

Got a Fan Fic End of the Year Ask for Auntie Fishy?

Ahh thank you Cas!! ❤

1. Holiday headcanon

No matter where Anakin is in the galaxy, he still carries his mother in his heart. She’s never far from his thoughts. He doesn’t celebrate very many holidays - though he knows about a great deal, given that his childhood home was a great mix of species from all corners of the stars - but one he always celebrates is the day his mother was freed from slavery, the day she married Cliegg Lars. It’s not technically a holiday, it’s barely a blip in Tatooine’s history, but still, Anakin lights a small candle and remembers his mother’s kind smile, her bright laugh. He sits before the gentle flame and tells her all the things he did that past year, tells her all of the secret yearnings of his heart, all the things he wishes she could have seen. He remembers her homespun skirts under his hands, how happy she was when he announced that he was going to build a droid to help her around their small home. As he talks, his fingers move over the bits of materials that called to him during the year, things that hummed to him in his mother’s voice, and he likes to think he can hear her laugh echoing in the pieces.

023: “Do you believe in love at first sight?“ 

“Do you believe in love at first sight, Master Kenobi?”

Anakin stiffened as his ears picked up the question proposed to his former master by the eldest princess of the planet they were currently staying on. She was beautiful, rich, and used to getting what she wanted, and with Obi-Wan’s habbit of flirting, well, Anakin didn’t like the way the question sounded on her lips. He couldn’t help the surge of slight possessiveness that made him turn from his own conversation to observe Obi-Wan’s.

“Oh, not necessarily,” Obi-Wan shrugged, his smile never faltering, “I believe that some may confuse lust with love at first sight, but love comes from time. After all, a blind man can just as well find love.”

“Ah, I see…” clearly the answer was not what she expected, but she pressed on, “And you, Master Jedi, would you be open to love?”

Obi-Wan laughed, the sound light and joyful, “Oh your highness, I’m flattered, truly, but I walk the path of a Jedi. such attachments are disapproved of in our Order.”

“Have you not ever been tempted to explore it?” she pressed and he sighed.

“Of course I have, when I was younger I had been tempted by one, but we were from two completely different worlds. She had a planet to govern, and I had the peace of the Galaxy to guard. I came to realize that looking outside the Order just would never work. I’m sorry my dear.” he gave a graceful bow and took her hand, kissing her gloved knuckles before politely excusing himself from the disappointed young woman.

Anakin moved quickly, following Obi-Wan out to the balcony at a distance and paused in the golden archway, watching the older Jedi a long moment as the man seemed to be in a light meditation, leaning against the railing overlooking the city below.

“Do you believe in love at first sight, Master Kenobi?” he finally broke the silence.

Obi-Wan turned, a genuine smile gracing his lips as his cheeks flushed with his light chuckle. “No, I believe in something so much stronger than that.” he held out his hand and Anakin moved forward taking it and pressing a kiss to the other Jedi’s fingers in a small but risky show of affection between them both.

Silver: I can't believe we're mutuals

Aquamarine: You are goals
