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

Wed, 13 Oct 2021 08:24:24 GMT

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.

FIC: Hukaat'kama ~ Star Wars Prequels ~ Jango/Obi-Wan ~ Mature ~ Chapter 6/6 COMPLETE

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 01:20:52 GMT

Title: Hukaat'kama
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Warnings: Asexual!Jango, AU, hurt/comfort, pre-relationship, established relationship, mentioned drug addiction and withdrawal, mentioned slavery, mentioned genocide, canon-typical violence, Mandalorian culture, Jedi culture, non-binary clones, grief, angst, Kamino is the worst, Jango's questionable parenting, mention of reconditioning, hopeful ending
Summary: Five times someone threatened Jango for Obi-Wan's sake.

A/N: This is less of a +1—or even particularly related to the theme, tbh—but I woke up one night with the idea for it already half formed, and it is extremely relevant to this fic. And I don't know where I'd put it, if not at the end of this set. So.

The Kaminoans are the worst, and the clones definitely deserved better. But so did Jango.
Nod to watch it grow, child of woe by afearsomecritter; I'm not sure if this fic can be wholly blamed for sparking the idea of Jango getting reconditioned, but I did end up thinking about it a bit while writing this chapter. (Gen, the Kaminoans recondition Jango to the point that he doesn't remember who he is.)

A/N: At last, the person who started this foray. :') ~~And then dragged their feet about actually getting to the threatening, sheesh.~~

I do personally ascribe to the headcanon that Cody's name was Kote before it was changed, for...idk, pick a reason. (My headcanon is that Jango gave it to them, and then it came out that Jango had been working with the Republic's enemy—not, necessarily, accurate in this AU; more likely, Jango did something that made Kote/Cody rethink using a name he'd given them—and they decided to change it to something else. Cody is close enough to Kote that any slips as their vode got used to using a new name wouldn't upset them or bring questions from any natborns who might be trusted enough to overhear.)
Sideways related, the first time I wrote a scene with Cody, they claimed they/them, so that's the pronouns I use for them. (Alpha actually did the same thing, which is why Jango kept using neutral pronouns for them last chapter.)

Warning for anyone who needs it that Jango has a panic attack when he and Cody are on Slave I. Let me know if I should put in a jump-link so y'all can skip it.

Mon, 12 Jul 2021 10:37:57 GMT

A/N: This chapter is a...little rough. Jango's suffering from a rather severe case of mental dissonance; part of him recognises Obi-Wan as safe and someone he loves, but another part of him despises jedi and wishes them all dead. Including and especially Kenobi.
Related, Jango is more than a little apathetically suicidal, once he can think straight. He doesn't make any attempts, but he also just doesn't care; take care of yourself, and if you need to skip out this chapter, I promise the next one will be better. (Although, these morons take their time about actually talking to one another.)

This was originally going to be Anakin, but it occurred to me that he's more likely to threaten Jango on Padmé's behalf, and since Quin got relegated to 'distract Obi-Wan so Dex can threaten his suitor' last time... (If you thought that comm call's timing was suspicious, congrats, you get a virtual cookie. ;)

FIC: Hukaat'kama ~ Star Wars Prequels ~ Jango/Obi-Wan ~ Mature ~ Chapter 1/6

Fri, 09 Jul 2021 04:26:39 GMT

A/N: Spiritual successor (precursor?) to Only You Now, which was one of my 2021 JangObi Week fics. By which I mean, thinking about that fic spawned this one, and this should be, if not completely accurate to the hints of backstory in that fic, close enough for government work.
This started as me wanting to write Cody giving Jango the shovel talk the first time Jango docked with the Negotiator to see Obi-Wan, and then it occurred to me that Cody would not have been the first person to threaten Jango for Obi-Wan's sake, so you get this disaster, instead. Heh.
I thought about doing one for Qui-Gon, but ultimately decided not to. Reader's choice if Qui-Gon is missing because he's knew better than to get in the middle of Obi-Wan's interpersonal relationships, just never had the opportunity, or was a shitty master.

My usual headcanon has Jango wasting away on the spice ship until around the time of Obi-Wan's mission to Mandalore—Tor's murder would explain why Death Watch, who had been so gung-ho to claim Mandalore, got their arses handed to them by a bunch of pacifists—but Jango was freed sooner in this AU.
Also, this Jango does not wholly blame the jedi for Galidraan; any part he had in the plot to use the clones against the Order, was wholly due to sith mind fuckery. Which is implied, but not outright stated. (Mostly because I didn't care to try to figure out what all, exactly, Dooku was willing to trust him with about the plan to have the clones kill the jedi.)

Mando'a has hovertext translations—mobile-capable on AO3, not on DW or LJ—and there is also a glossary of terms—last chapter on AO3, link at the bottom of any chapter on DW/LJ—for those who prefer that manner.
Title is given to mean "watch your six" in the dictionary.

Title: Haat'Mand'alor be Yaim'ol
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Jaster Mereel
Warnings: Time travel, canon-typical violence, fix-it (apparently), not everyone dies/some live, the Kaminoans are the worst, Jaster is the Mand'alor we deserve, character death, the clones deserve better, Jaster has 3 million grandkids, mental manipulation, Mandalorian culture, Mandalorian morality, an excessive amount of murder (of Kaminoans), Jedi culture respected, Jango needs a hug, Rex needs a hug, Fox needs a hug, EVERYONE GETS A HUG (except the Kaminoans), asexual Jango, nonbinary clones, trans clones, polyamory mention, disabled characters, happy ending

A/N: Palpa~~fucker~~tine arrives.

There are a number of character deaths in this chapter, including two canon characters. One should be obvious, on account of the happy ending tag, but the other is not. For those who need specific warnings, please jump to the closing author's note.
There are also some slightly graphic descriptions of some of the dead and wounded. I've added a link that should let you jump over what I consider the worst of it. If people think I need to add another jump, let me know and I can do that.

Other than that, remember the eventual happy ending tag and good luck?

A/N: The clones start learning some crafty hobbies, and a new jedi comes to Kamino.

There is a single instance of Huttese in this chapter, so I'll be adding a new table with it to the bottom of the glossary, but it's a word everyone is likely familiar with.

In other news, I felt bad about referencing the text of The Bounty Hunter Code, in regard to beskar'gam terms, in the glossary, without having any online copy of the relevant text to send people to. So I went ahead and typed those sections up in a google doc, which everyone is welcome to peruse and utilise as they please.

FIC: Haat'Mand'alor be Yaim'ol ~ Star Wars ~ Obi-Wan/Jaster ~ Mature ~ Chapter 4/10

Mon, 10 May 2021 08:37:01 GMT

A/N: Wherein Jaster and Obi-Wan finally get the chance to sort out their mutual attraction, and Jango reacts approximately as you would expect. Also, Dooku shows up.

Reminder that any sex scenes will be fade-to-black. I'm not writing them, but people are welcome to write their own versions and link back here, if something inspires.

Also, since it has come up in a few reviews, now, re:Anakin's actions on Tatooine: I don't believe it's Obi-Wan's job to stop Anakin from committing genocide. He is old enough to know better, and sending Obi-Wan in like an avenging knight—given Shmi's certain death (a reminder that it is AotC!canon that the Tuskens had already had her for a month; there is nothing, at this point, that anyone can do to save her) and Anakin's own feelings of being constantly held back (also AotC!canon)—is more likely to make the situation worse. Moreover, Obi-Wan's message from Geonosis (after doing some snooping around) comes in as Anakin is returning with Shmi's body (potentially a little after? How long did R2 wait to bring them the message?); timing-wise, in this fic, by the time Jango returns to Kamino (he made it nearly the whole way to Geonosis, then flew back; Geonosis and Tatooine look like they're in the same sector of space, on the galactic map, so we can assume travel time is similar to/from Kamino), it is already too late for Obi-Wan to make it to Tatooine and stop Anakin.
Also, Obi-Wan has his own mission to attend to. In this fic, that mission went from hunting the bounty hunter who attempted to kill the person currently in his padawan's care (whose trail went cold, because Obi-Wan didn't manage to tag Slave I with a tracker), to liaising with the newly-alive Mand'alor and learning about and safeguarding this army of 3 million souls, which supposedly belong to the Jedi Order. He has more important things to focus on than serving as Anakin's moral compass and impulse control. Give the man a fucking break.

FIC: Haat'Mand'alor be Yaim'ol ~ Star Wars ~ Obi-Wan/Jaster ~ Mature ~ Chapter 1/10

A/N: I have no idea where this idea came from, it just did. I sort of expected it to turn into a 'Jaster lays into Jango about his shitty life choices' fic. Which it is, to an extent, but, also, Dooku is an asshole, the Kaminoans are the worst, and Jango isn't entirely to blame for the way the clones were raised.
I did not start out intending this to be JastObi, but Jaster was insistent, and I am a weak author who cannot say no to my characters. (Especially when it's in regard to rarepairs that I enjoy.) Related, all smutty scenes will be fade-to-black; if you want to read Jaster and Obi-Wan getting it on, write it yourself.
I also went into this foolishly expecting it to be a one-shot, maybe as long as 30k. I don't know why, I should know myself better by this point. *eyeroll*

Opening scene is taken directly from Jango Fett: Open Seasons, then transfers to the tail of Jango and Obi-Wan's battle in Attack of the Clones, with some minor timing changes for plot reasons.
Canon-related, my understanding of the members of the Cuy'val Dar—the group of mostly-Mandalorians that Jango brought in to train the clones—comes from Wookieepedia and fanon, not Traviss' books. (I have no intention of reading something by someone who thinks the jedi deserved to be genocided and calls those who like them Nazis.) If they are not the characters you're familiar with, that's why. (Also, I've made a few of them non-human, because, for a community supposedly so welcoming of non-humans, there seem to be a depressing number of them that are humans. Which, related, I'm basing non-human helmet designs on the-art-block's sketches over on tumblr. Link is for my blog, since they don't seem to have a tag just for their helmet sketches.)

For Mando'a (and, I think, 2 Huttese words?), I've added hover-text, which doesn't really work on mobile, alas. (It does on Ao3, so you may be best reading over there.) Alternately, there's a glossary of terms in a separate post, for those who prefer that manner. If an entire section of dialogue is bolded, you can assume it's being spoken in Mando'a, but I'll do my best to let you know in the text when they're switching languages.
The title translates to 'The True Mand'alor's Return'. It can also be taken to mean 'Return of the True Mandalorians' Mand'alor', given the fanon Mando'a for the faction is 'Haat'ade' and Mando'a's habit of dropping parts of words while mashing them together. Both translations are correct, in this case. (We can argue word order until the cows come home, btw, but that seems like more energy than a made-up language is worth, to me. You do you, I guess?)

FIC: All Souls Deserve a Chance ~ Star Wars ~ pre-Jango/Obi-Wan ~ Teen

Sun, 09 May 2021 12:02:25 GMT

Title: All the Souls Deserve a Chance
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Warnings: Asexual!Jango, Everyone Lives/No One Dies (except Palpafucker, he dead), good parent Jango, jedi families, Force-sensitive clones
Summary: When Palpatine dies unexpectedly a year after the invasion of Naboo, the jedi must scramble to pick up the pieces of a grand plan now in shambles. Can Obi-Wan, and his newly-discovered padawan-brother Feemor, be the key to healing the old wound between the Jedi Order and Mand'alor Jango Fett?

A/N: For day 7 of JangObi Week, the prompt is happy ending. I also gave myself a challenge to write only ace!Jango for this week.
Look, there was absolutely zero chance of me letting Palpafucker survive for a 'happy ending' prompt. (Not that I'm usually inclined to let him survive. Seriously, fuck that guy. And not in any way that would be fun for him. ~~Why do I always get the urge to replay Molag Bal's questline from Skyrim when I think a variation on that line?~~)

Apparently, I'm dragging my boy Feemor into today's fic. For those unfamiliar with him, he's a one-off Legends comic's character who was Qui-Gon's padawan before Xanatos (he of Jedi Apprentice fame). I've built a pretty extensive backstory for him in my Make a Brand New End series, but you don't need to be familiar with that for this. His current padawan learner, Wangui, also makes an appearance. She's an OC, but all you really need to know about her is she's precious and deserves the galaxy. (Shut up, do not judge my love for Feemor's lineage.) Aliche13 did fanart of her over on tumblr.
Rael Averross, from Master & Apprentice gets a mention, but doesn't make an actual appearance. (I usually ignore his existence entirely, as I didn't much care for that book, and still haven't listened to Dooku: Jedi Lost, but the turn the story took required I at least acknowledge he exists.)

Mando'a is hover-text enabled, with translations in the separate glossary post. Some blocks of conversation that are had in Mando'a, are bolded and written in English, partially to save me the effort of translation, partially to save you all the effort of dealing with entire conversations that you have to find the translation for.

Sorry for the lateness in posting this. But, given how few people interact on LJ/DW, and my own schedule, posting to these two sites is not among my priorities. If you want to see more timely content here, INTERACT.

FIC: Somewhere Between Sunrise and Sunset ~ Star Wars ~ Jango/Obi-Wan ~ Teen

Sun, 09 May 2021 10:43:03 GMT

Title: Somewhere Between Sunrise and Sunset
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Warnings: Alternate Universe, Asexual!Jango, Obi-Wan Left the Order, Mandalorian!Obi-Wan, the Senate are the bad guys not the jedi, Jedi-positive, Galidraan massacre mention, mentioned transphobia and speciesism (by an OC who's never seen), slavery mention, mention of non-consensual drug addiction, drinking alcohol, Obi-Wan isn't an alcoholic because he has the Force (sure thing, Obes), mentions of canonical character deaths
Summary: Jango goes for a drink after a job, only to stumble across a conundrum of a being: A human in beskar'gam, marked with the New Mandalorian crest.

A/N: For day 6 of JangObi Week, the prompt is fix-it AU. I also gave myself a challenge to write only ace!Jango for this week.
Look, no one was specific about what we had to be fixing.
Blame for this idea shall be lain at the feet of bureau-pinery for this (nsfw, please don't click the link if you're underage/in a public space) image of Jango and Obi-Wan in beskar'gam. No sex in the fic, just loved the idea of them both in beskar'gam. *ok hand emoji*

This is, technically, past-Obitine, but because it's Jango's PoV, it's never clarified, so I didn't bother tagging. There's also a part which is intended as past platonic!Jango&Myles, but if you, personally, are reading it as romantic... *shrugs* To each their own.

'Canon' pulls from a bit of The Clone Wars, a lot of Jango Fett: Open Season, with a blink-and-you'll-miss-it mention from Jedi Apprentice. Jedi Corps information pulled from Legends, with some tweaks.
Timeline-wise, this takes place a few years after both Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon's mission to Mandalore, and Jango gaining his freedom. (My personal calendar has Jango freeing himself and killing Tor while Obi is on Mandalore; canon hasn't said otherwise, so, I do what I want.) So, Obi-Wan is 21 and Jango is 30.
Mando'a and a single word of Ryl/Twi'leki are hovertext for those on computers, and translated in the separate glossary for everyone else. (Most Mando'a is either an insult, a proper noun, a part of armour, or otherwise something that doesn't have a direct translation in English. The only long sentence is an introduction.)

FIC: Open Up My Mind ~ Star Wars ~ Jango/Obi-Wan ~ Mature

Sun, 09 May 2021 09:57:16 GMT

Title: Open Up My Mind
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Warnings: Asexual!Jango, trans!Obi-Wan, trans!clones, the Kaminoans suck, mental manipulations, allusions to canon slavery, allusions to canon drug use
Summary: Before Jango Fett can flee Kamino and the jedi stalking his steps, he stops to protect some of the clones. In joining his defence, Obi-Wan proves himself worthy of Jango's trust.

A/N: For day 5 of JangObi Week, the prompt is competence kink, with the art/secondary prompt of rain. I also gave myself a challenge to write only ace!Jango for this week, although, this is from Obi-Wan's PoV, so that isn't particularly obvious.
The idea my muse handed me for this day involved trans clones, and Obi stepped in and insisted he also be trans; everything is queer and we are living. That said, there is the implication of transphobia—really, it's just the Kaminoans' everything—but the presumed comment isn't on-screen.

There's a part that takes place in Jango's head, which I wrote when I was super tired; if it reads funky, we'll call it purposeful. (Related: this fic didn't get a reread, because I ran out of time, and my next block of free time is tomorrow night. So.)

Allusions made to Jango's enslavement and being forced to work with spice (&, presumably, having to go through a withdrawal) from Jango Fett: Open Seasons, as well as Obi-Wan's enslavement in Jedi Apprentice.

Mando'a should mostly be translated in the surrounding text, or be otherwise commonly enough used in the fandom that most should recognise them, but I've added hover-text for the words not immediately translated, and everything is in the separate glossary, for those who prefer/require that manner.

Title: Exceptional
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Warnings: Asexual!Jango, non-binary!Obi-Wan, slavery, implications of pre-fic noncon, established relationship (sorta), love confession
Summary: Jango comes across Obi-Wan during an undercover mission, and offers to help.

A/N: For day 3 of JangObi Week, the prompt is undercover. I also gave myself a challenge to write only ace!Jango for this week.
This day also features non-binary!Obi-Wan, who was very insistent about that.

Please note that this does open with Obi-Wan as a Hutt's dancing/pleasure slave. This was purposeful, on their part. However, since this is Obi-Wan, a couple of things went wrong, and they could use some help.

There's only one word of Mando'a, and it's a bit of a joke nickname that Obi-Wan uses for Jango, which is translated at the end of the fic, and also in the glossary.
There are sections of dialogue that are spoken in Huttese, but since our PoV character is fluent, they're written out in English and bolded.

Summary: The fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jango Fett on Kamino is ended by the appearance of two new Mandalorians, who claim to be from the future.

A/N: For day 2 of JangObi Week, the prompt is time travel. I also gave myself a challenge to write only ace!Jango for this week. (&, since no one can stop me, Boba is also ace.)

There I was, getting out of the bath, and this idea just...slammed me upside the head and wouldn't shut up. (To the point that it's fucking massive, wtf, muse?) So.
Spoiler warnings for season 2 of The Mandalorian, with some minor changes to the end of The Rescue (idk, Fennec called Boba soon as they'd taken the bridge and he returned in time to turn the dark troopers floating in space into so much scrap, so no appearance by mysterious jedi figures to save the party's bacon, maybe because, for some reason, Grogu failed to reach anyone on Tython? Which means Din is still looking for a teacher for Grogu).

Mando'a either has hover-text translations (with translations in the glossary, for those who need/prefer that method), or, since both of our PoV characters are fluent, are in English, but bolded. Given the nature of Mando'a, all gendered pronouns in the translated Mando'a are written as gender neutral.

FIC: Only You Now ~ Star Wars ~ Jango/Obi-Wan ~ Teen

Sun, 09 May 2021 08:27:05 GMT

Title: Only You Now
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Warnings: Asexual!Jango, some hurt/lots of comfort, Obi-Wan dodging medical, AU, non-binary clones, established relationship, mentioned mind manipulations
Summary: Jango pays a visit and cuddles with a sleepy Obi-Wan.

A/N: For day 1 of JangObi Week, which I wasn't going to do, because 'enemies to lovers' wasn't sparking anything (which wasn't also covered by another day's prompt), and then we got the secondary prompts, and today is 'cuddling'. Which, I mean, who wouldn't want some cuddling?
I gave myself a challenge to write only ace!Jango for this week, which also fed into my interest in the cuddling prompt. (It's not obvious in this one that Jango's ace, but that's where my head was for it.)

Mando'a should be largely clarified via context clues/common enough in the fandom to be familiar to most readers, but I've added hover-text and put translations in a separate post that includes the Mando'a for all the JangObi Week fics, for those who prefer/require that manner.
