#obiwan teaches him a little of the force and in turn absorbs that the jedi cannot be the end all!

Please talk about your fic! The premise sounds awesome!

Ahh thank you!!

So it's set during the clone wars, with a few small changes because - no Anakin. I'm going with the theory that some of the specific things that happened were targeting Anakin specifically, but Palps had no role in his birth, so he literally doesn't know he exists. Yet. Consequently Anakin is ~~~relatively well-adjusted and with nobody actively trying to ruin his life

Meanwhile Padmé and Obi-Wan have been flirting mildly on and off for years even before the events of AOTC as they grew a little bit closer to each other without Padmé on-planet and Obi-Wan shipbound on Tatooine. They reach the peak of pining during AOTC and uhhhh....never really crossed it, on account of having more self-control and also already being aware of their feelings. That film went quite differently, with Obi-Wan (and Ahsoka, maybe?) on Naboo and Aayla Secura or Depa Billaba or someone investigating Jango, though it concludes more or less the same with the big arena battle and the start of the clone wars.

However. However!

This does mean Obi-Wan has no idea about the clones' commissioning (this will be relevant later)

Anyway the fic itself is like. After months of pining and being repeatedly thrown together during diplomatic and other missions during the clone wars, Obi-Wan and Padmé are having a really bad time trying to not acknowledge or act on their feelings. Then they get into mortal danger.....and just as they decide to fuck it and if they might be about to die then why not-

A random trader ship rescues them. And its captain is very hot and very stubborn, and...very force sensitive?

Idk when I think about the long-term pining means Obi-wan and Padme both have so much to lose so when he shows signs of backpedaling she gets upset. He has no idea if she's speaking to him again. Anakin is just SO charmed w the both of them, and [not immediately, but] the both of them are actually quite attracted to him, too, and if they hadn't sabotaged their own potential relationship they wouldn't have noticed but they DID and Anakin is RIGHT THERE flirting with them (badly)(though not as badly as canon lol)

So naturally they both end up sleeping with him then get upset w each other for sleeping w him (separately). then they all work it out (together).

#also just obiwan without the weight of responsibility on him right after quigons death making him develop differently #and anakin whos doing what he feels he was always meant to do and with a lot less. jedi crisis and existential angst and chosen one drama #padme is also not the same but the changes in her are more subtle - but. shes a little more cynical i think #anyway. anakin challenges obiwan and padmes ideas of the jedi and the republic but from THE OUTSIDE #he has more stakes and therefore put more thought into this because its always been his life #padme works w him in ways that help her feel less like the galaxy starts and ends w this war! #obiwan teaches him a little of the force and in turn absorbs that the jedi cannot be the end all! #can you tell i have so many thoughts #but writing is so hard. i dont want to write. i want it to appear before me #answered #anon #minefic #ty for asking !!! #i have 10k it feels very short lol
