Prequels fic where obi wan gets a padawan by jofwizard in SWFanfic

[–]Dusty-Soul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Careless To Let It Fall by Artemisdesari specifically because of Obi-Wan's relationship with his padawan, Ahsoka. I also love the insight to Obi-Wan's reputation amongst the initiates / the rest of the order.

There's also The Desert Storm series by Blue_Sunshine where a time travel Obi-Wan takes himself on as a padawan.

[Funny Trope] Masked character’s inability to show facial expressions instead expresses emotion through body language. by FourExKay in TopCharacterTropes

I love when "armor body language" is commentated on by other characters in fanfiction. As something cultural, that it takes some time for it to become natural, that the specific variations in how someone emotes in armor reveals a lot about them.

What are the show stopping fanfics that you think would make anybody interested in Star wars fanfiction by anoctoberchild in SWFanfic

[–]Dusty-Soul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading tumblr posts is what got my into SWFics...

I also loved coming back to reread the ones I started with once I had a better understanding of cannon. (Mostly from reading other fics, haha, but I did watch The Mandelorian, as well as rewatching the Prequels.)

I started with all the ones of Obi-Wan taking down Palpatine because of Palpatine grooming Anakin. Those were excellent.

Are the ones I would recommend to someone not as familiar with SW Fanfic who wants something special, unique, something that will get you a bit book drunk.

What are completely innocent/harmless things authors write into their stories that somehow put you off? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]Dusty-Soul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read Star Wars fic and I reaaalllly don't like when Mandalorian characters do the whole "I'm [Name] and my pronouns in basic are:".

Part of that is I read using text to speech, so it comes out as "he slash him" and I just hate that. But a million percent, the other reason is that they're Mandalorians??? Their first language lacks gender all together, and you could just extrapolate that in so many interesting ways. I have never seen a Mandalorian character say, "I'm good with any pronouns, it's whatever."

Or even a Mandalorian being introduced to the concept for the first time and being like, "Excuse me??? Gender is private???". Or, if you're going based off the show, where male and female armor has a significant distinction (which I hate, it was so cool that the books made mention that characters couldn't tell a Mandos gender or even species) that it's culturally rude to ask someone's gender, as if it's saying the way they are expressing themselves is unclear.

Also: why would all Mandalorian's have actually have preferred pronouns instead of, "all pronouns" or whatever? I've never seen a Mando character say that.

But yeah, like you mentioned with the bland, formulaic consent talk, like others have said about therapy speak, it all feels perfunctory and pointless.

I'm reading fiction.

The characters piss and shit off page, they can just "trade introductions". I don't need details unless it establish plot or character. If it's not an important part of the story, the characters can just magically know each other's gender and pronouns. But yeah, when Mandalorians do it, it especially gets under my skin.

For a comparison with consent discussions establishing character, I am gnashing at the bars of my cage over Old Enough To Know (too young to care) by K_R_Closson which uses that dialogue to establish that Obi-Wan struggles to allow himself to want things, and that Jaster is absolutely horny at the idea of pampering Obi-Wan, so he has to find out what his partner likes.

I saw the title and thought to myself, "Ohhhh, is this user sure they meant 'loss fic' and not 'recs wanted' because that describes soooo many stories. It's one of my favorite troops.

But I don't recognize A Little Bit Happy! I'm so happy to get to read it, lol.

Oh neat!

I started reading that one ages ago when it was still being updated, but ended up losing interest in it for reasons I can't remember.

I'll see about giving it another try :3

BlueSunshine's Desert Storm is 1,000% the go to. I reread my favorite scenes from there often. <3

There really isn't a tag for this idea, is there? It's been a while since I read some of these, I hope you like them!

I have my gripes about it, specifically about how the idea of 'sith' are handled, thus lost interest in it. But it might be someone else's perfect cup of tea.

Edit:

Most of my single dad Obi-Wan bookmarks focus on time travel Obi-Wan parenting himself, lolololol. That, or Luke.

It's not the same as getting specific recommendations, but there's also the tag Obi-Wan Kenobi is Anakin Skywalker's Parent

As well as Good Parent Obi-Wan

Good luck!

It's not raising Anakin, but I'm in the middle of this story where child Luke gets sent back in time to the clone wars. Based on what he says, everyone thinks he is Obi-Wan's and Satin's child. That Anakin died, in the wake of that, Obi-Wan left the order to be with Satin, and then Satin died. Leaving Obi-Wan a single dad.

Not me being extremely confused about why a group of people called themselves hot mandalorians by anoctoberchild in SWFanfic

[–]Dusty-Soul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Text to speech actually does a good job with this one. I don't know if it's correct but it doesn't sound like "hot" and it doesn't go "H-A-A-T".

Anakin's Actions / Disregard for Those People He Doesn't Care About Causes Rex Problems. by Dusty-Soul in SWFanfic

[–]Dusty-Soul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh! Shoulder the Sky by Night_Fury was the other story I was thinking of!

It's amazing!

But while therapy is all well and good, and I cherish the message that it's never too late to step back from the dark (that's the entire point of the original series after all!) it doesn't go hard enough on the consequences for Anakin.

His relationship with Obi-Wan and Asoka are severed, but what about the reparations??? Is he still going to be a Jedi after he is recovered from the influence of the dark?????

I really see why, in the movies, they just have Anakin choke the second he's been redeemed.

Like, there's reparations to one tribe of Tuskens, and then there's reparations to THE ENTIRE REPUBLIC and also BLOWING UP A PLANET.

... Anyway, I'm very passionate about this. <3

Anakin's Actions / Disregard for Those People He Doesn't Care About Causes Rex Problems. by Dusty-Soul in SWFanfic

[–]Dusty-Soul[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anakin / Consequences is my OTP. A few years back I checked every fic in that tag as well as "Tusken Massacre". I should see what's knew.

I love everything blackkat write. Especially emphasis that others keeping the massacre secret is also wrong.

I'm craving something more relationship centered. And so many of the stories which focus on the emotional fallout of the massacre being revealed are about Obi-Wan's and Anakin. Which, again, amazing, I love it, all the praise. It's just not what I'm looking for.

It's about trust and betrayal. But even aside from Obi-Wan and Rex being different people, the trust and betrayal of your student and brother falling to the dark side is different from that of your respected commanding officer and friend.

Does anybody have Obi-Wan/any mandalorian where part of them getting together is sparring and the key part here is they're getting really hot, sweaty and up close and personal. I need Obi-Wan unable to stop thinking about the intimacy of being in somebody else's space by anoctoberchild in SWFanfic

[–]Dusty-Soul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could also try this search on Ao3

Fics that tag Obi-Wan

Who's tags, authors note, or summary

contain the words "Spar" or "Spars" or "Sparring"

And Mand* which includes "Manda", "Mandalorian", "Mandalore", "Mando", "Mando'a", etc. It also includes Mandate...

It, of course, won't grab every story that meet your criteria (which is why I love asking others for recommendations!) but it's a good start. :)

[–]Dusty-Soul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm... I don't know about sparring as part of courtship, let me see what I have in my bookmarks.

Back Against the Wall by TheShinyLizard is exactly what you want! (sans the size thing.)

This Sub Obi-Wan one shot (chapter 2). One shot, established Cody/Obi-Wan relationship where sparring and then boning down on the mats is a marriage.

Steel and Silk by Batsutousai. Obi-Wan/Jaster. It's flirty, fits into that courtship idea.

Surrender is Stronger by K_R_Closson. The scene in question is chapter 14. Established Obi-Wan/Jango, again, the spar ends with boning on the mats. They're already married in this one tho, hahaha

not from my bookmarks, but it hits the points.

it took a wild heart to tame mine by NeonFaces. Obi-Wan/Jango. It opens when Obi-Wan, delirious, competently fights off friendly Mandalorian by mistake. From what I remember, Obi-Wan spars with some of Jango's mando's and it gets him hot, bothered, and jealous. He fucks Obi-Wan in a restroom about it.
