i was probably the last person on the planet to realize this "homestead" poncho was the pattern from the roof of luke's childhood home (and where shmi lived b4 she died).

Anakin's small nose scrunches up adorably. "Meth!" He says, Mace's lips twitch, and not in a good way. "No, Mace." He puts emphasis on the C. "Meth!" Anakin chirps.

Oh why does he even try?

-

Mace greets him with Anakin in his arms, and the Kel-Dor practically runs to them once he lands his ship, once he reaches them, he squeals. And Anakin squeals back, clapping.

Plo squeals again. Louder.

Anakin reaches for him and it seems all the encouragement Plo needs, Plo takes him into his arms gently. Anakin smiles at him and Plo smiles from behind his mask.

"Ani!" Anakin introduces himself again.

Mace can see the moment Plo's heart melts.

"Plo" Plo says gesturing to himself.

"Pwoo", Anakin coos.

Plo looks at Anakin for a long moment, and karking hells Mace knows that look, he's about to-

"Plo-"

"He's my child now."

"PLO NO-"

-

Anakin bolted inside and ran to Obi-Wan's room, climbed into his bed and hugged him tightly.

"Obi no sad." He said squeezing Obi-Wan tightly.

Obi-Wan - who was in the middle of his mental breakdown, found this interruption quite rude - froze and stared at the child in his arms.

Or rather, forced himself in his arms.

"Ani here." Anakin said determinedly. "Obi-Wan no sad."

Obi-Wan didn't bother to argue about being sad this time around, he only hugged Anakin close.

-

Obi-Wan's heart melted.

"Love you too, Ani." Obi-Wan said softly, hugging the toddler close.

Someone actually chose him, someone actually wanted him. It may be a toddler but still, Anakin chose Obi-Wan.

Out of everyone in the Temple, Anakin chose to follow Obi-Wan everywhere. Anakin chose to holocall Obi-Wan when he's away on missions. Anakin chose to wait for Obi-Wan when Obi-Wan is on his way back to the Temple.

He was chosen by someone, and maybe, just maybe, things will start to look brighter for him.

As I approach at a crawl to the end of the Maul fic, the creative energy has been doing the thing where the cosmic water pressure gets cut and I'm having trouble putting anything great down.

Now, I've still been chugging along putting words on pages, waiting for the BIG WRITER ENERGY to manifest. But I don't want to present anything less than the best I've got for the finale, so if I'm taking a long time, I'm gambling that it will be worth the wait!

Maul deserves the best! ❤️🖤❤️🖤

(I love this Maul painting, if anyone can tell me the artist I'd be jazzed because my reverse image search failed me)
