FIC: We Could Be Beautiful ~ Star Wars Prequels ~ Ace/Tobi (OC/OC) ~ Teen

Title: We Could Be Beautiful
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Ace Kudzulek/Tobi Wrentz (nonbinary OC/female OC)
Warnings: nonbinary character, trans characters, PoC characters, Jedi positive (but Coruscant-critical b/c of pov), OC-heavy
Summary: Newly knighted, Ace Kudzulek pays a surprise visit to their girlfriend, Tobi, on Corellia. Which...isn't actually as much of a surprise as they might have wished.

A/N: For Star Wars OC Week's day three prompt of relationship. (Technically, I'm a little late, but the mod(s) actually sketched out 8 days for the event week, so there's wiggle room. ;P)
I was actually sort of tempted to try writing the mission where Ace and Feemor met Tobi, but it would have meant using Ace's birth pronouns, and that was making me...super uncomfortable. So, first date after Ace has been knighted.

This is not, necessarily, a part of the Make a Brand New End series—Ace is one of my multi-fic OCs, and this would have happened around the time Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were on Mandalore, so well before the events of that series—but Tobi's only shown up there, so... *shrugs* I'm not going to add it to the series collection, but I'll link this to Now I Fly on AO3.

For those familiar with Make a Brand New End, you may recall that the Corellian Temple and the Coruscant Temple have slightly different takes on marriage, and Tobi is more than a little hopeful that Ace will transfer so they can marry, but Ace doesn't want to. That will feature in this fic, but there's no actual conversation about it, just Tobi thinking a lot about how much she wants Ace to become a Corellian Jedi.

I did put together an image of Ace and Tobi, using a dollmaker (unfortunately, not one of the ones that have been upgraded online to work without Flash, sorry), which should be included on all of the sites this is posted at, including tumblr, with a description of the image. If that's broken anywhere, please let me know.

This has not had even a cursory reread, because it was already late enough, whoops. If you see anything wonky, especially any misused pronouns, please let me know.
