[captainrexsoka]

I just love Captain Rex & Ahsoka Tano sooooo much! I've been recently watching SW Rebels for a 2nd time (after having watched TCW & TBB for a 2nd time this past January through March), I'm just experiencing "all the feelings" 10x more than having had watched the series for the first time. The reunion of Rex & Ahsoka always gets me teary-eyed. I wish they had more time together, which is why I drew this. They deserved more time with each other in Rebels. How long had they apart when they reunited? 15 years? Since they last saw each other at the end of TCW? (Which, by the way, always makes me cry, especially the last episode of TCW.) And why must the Clones age 2x faster than an average person? *Cries*

I gave Rex & Ahsoka are more semi-realistic appearance, while still keeping my art style in there. I wanted to give Rex a more "salt & pepper" look to his beard. And yes, the proportions of his head are correct: he is looking down, so you would see more of the top of his head.

Do you think they would be cute as a couple? While drawing this, I had the idea in my mind that they are just bonding together as two long-lost friends who haven't seen each other in forever. But there is also that part of me where I think they would have been a cute couple, if things had gone right (a.k.a. if darn Anakin hadn't ruined everything for every one). They both deserve to have more love in their life.

And I am very pleased to say that this piece has become my post popular ("Liked") work on Instagram!

Line artwork was done with Sakura Pigma Micron Pens, and then coloured in with Copic Markers (for the skin tones) and Ohuhu Markers. The textured gradient background was done in Photoshop Elements (since I had no idea what to do for a background).

Favorite Rexsoka fan fiction? Or any recommendations? And just thanks in general for having a rexsoka blog to follow. My fangirl heart needed this 🤍💙🧡🤍

Hello!! First of all, I'm terribly sorry for the late reply! ಥ_ಥ Secondly, thank you so much! 💕 I, personally, can't get enough of Rexsoka, it's like my most hardcore otp for life :D Always glad to meet new friends, all aboard our beloved ship ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

There are many wonderful Rexsoka fics both on ao3 and good ol' ff.net, and in the future I'm planning to make a big rec post, but for now, here is a very short list of some of my fave rexsoka stories:

(also, plz plz keep in mind that English is not my native language and I'm far from perfect in it, esp in grammatical things)

1) Mind Space by warriorgramma (Rated E)

Absolutely favorite one 💖 Warriorgramma is a genius of a writer, and btw all works of this author are brilliant, I honestly could sing praises to them all days and nights, just...gorgeous stuff. READ IT.

2) Something New series by imnewintown

I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm a HUGE sucker for domestic rexsoka family trope and this series fulfills all my wishes so, naturally, I love it to death. If you share my enthusiasm in this topic, you should really check it out. Includes both steamy and fluffy works. Out of all fics with similar trope, imnewintown's series forever will be my most beloved version ❤

3) There's Nothing Holding Us Back by distantdaylight (Rated E)

This fic seriosly needs more attention, it's so good 🙏 Written perfectly on all aspects, from plot to characterization, a great read that I highly recommend. But beware, not finished yet.

4) Something More by Abel_VaLore (Rated M)

A good, decent fic. Written from Rex perspective, often angsty, but with a happy end.

5) Stronger than Fate series by hrtiu (Rated from G to T)

Another wonderful, fun series that I love very much, worth every second of your time to read it.

6) War Bonds series by ArcticMatter_77 (Rated M for violence)

Who doesn't know War Bonds? Great series from start to...not finished yet xD If you like "rewrite" fics and slow burn, I think you'll enjoy this work.

7) I'm Glad You're Still Alive by Eekapizza (Rated T)

Stunning ✨✨✨The build up, the angst, the character development done perfectly and natural, 10/10, how this is not canon again? =D

8) Douse The Flames AU series by armchairaloof (Rated from T to E)

All hail armchairaloof, queen of beautiful rexsoka AUs ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

But this one is still my fave, gorgeously done modern firefighter AU with rom com vibes, CHECK CHECK CHECK

9) After the Order by Sunflower_Bundle331 (Rated M)

Highly underrated, like, wtf, wish I could leave 93723 kudos to it, cos' its honestly one of the best rexsoka fic I've read in my life with this awfully low amount of feedback. (┬┬﹏┬┬) Technically not finished, but in a sense of rexsoka it came to some sort of conclusion ;-)

10) Subterfuge by WildHoneyProse (Rated T)

I LOVE this one. Adorably tender, spot on characterization and beautiful relationship growth ❤

That's it for now 😶 more is definitely to come cos' I mentioned, like, only 10%, the ones that immediately came to mind right now =D

Rex and Ahsoka, all growed up and saving the galaxy (sometimes you gotta take a moment for yourselves while galaxy-saving)

Just part of my Fallen AU

[captainrexsoka]

Rex and Ahsoka, 43 (Why are we whispering?) for the ask game.

(This is platonic or pre-relationship rexsoka)

“Rex! Hey Rex,” someone whisper-shouted across the mess hall. The Captain glanced up from his datapad to see his young Commander waving at him covertly from the doorway. He felt a grin split his face at the sight of her, and he opened his mouth to call out to her, but she put a finger to her lips. She beckoned him to follow her, glancing around suspiciously before she slipped through the door.

Rex raised an eyebrow, looking around to see if any of the other troopers noticed. He shrugged to himself and finished his caf in a gulp, grabbing his pad and tossing the cup on the way out. Ahsoka was waiting for him outside the door, something hidden behind her back and a mischievous twinkle in her big eyes. She wrapped a skinny arm around his waist, still keeping one arm behind her back as she hugged him tightly. “Hey Littl’un,” Rex said softly, the happiness he felt radiating in his voice. “I’ve missed you.”

She had been away on several missions with the General Plo Koon and spent some extra time in the Temple, so Rex hadn’t seen her in awhile. In that time, she had grown at least an inch and had traded in her tube top for a red shirt. The Captain wished she would wear armor but really he was just grateful that her skin was covered so she was protected against shrapnel. “I missed you too, Rexster,” she whispered, her fangs poking out as she smiled. "Now follow me."

She took his hand and led him towards a supply room, never letting him see what she held in her hand. She snuck inside the dark room, pulling him in with her. "Alright Captain. Close your eyes." Ahsoka said in a hushed voice.

Rex did as he was bid, laughing slightly before Ahsoka nudged him in the placard to get him to be quiet. "Why am I doing this?" He asked before his voice was muffled by a small orange hand covering his mouth.

"Shhh, it's a surprise." Ahsoka whispered.

"Why are we whispering?" Rex murmured, his hands still dutifully covering his eyes.

"Because, Rexster," Ahsoka sighed dramatically. "I don't want any of the boys to know about the Uj Cake." Her voice rose to a high pitch on the last part, unable to contain her excitement, and Rex dropped his hands quickly, eyes flying open.

Ahsoka was proudly presenting a small, slightly crushed box with a single piece of the crumbling cake inside. Rex felt his mouth water, and his heart beat strangely in his chest.

"Why?" Rex asked, his voice slightly strangled.

"Well Master Plo gave it to me after my last mission as a reward, but I know if the rest of the boys hear I gave some to you, they'll be jealous." Ahsoka explained easily, her voice still soft but no longer theatrically so.

The Captain licked his lips, the sweet, spicy smell of the cake making his stomach rumble. Ahsoka giggled at his reaction. Still, Rex had been taught his whole life he didn't deserve such things. He made a valiant attempt at convincing the Commander to change her mind. "I mean, why share it with me? Don't you want it all?"

"Desserts are best shared," she replied sagely, as though she were imparting some great Jedi wisdom on him.

"But why share it with me?" He couldn't help but ask, though his stomach was raging against him.

"Well you're the Captain, and my best friend. No one can complain about that." Ahsoka answered matter of factly.

"I'm your best friend?" Rex couldn't keep the surprise out of his voice, though his chest suddenly felt warm.

Ahsoka’s brow furrowed. "Of course. D-do you not think we're best friends?"

"I do!" Rex quickly reassured, forgetting to be quiet in his urgency. "You're the first friend I ever had who wasn't a brother. I just figured a Jedi would be your best friend. Like General Skywalker or Commander Offee."

"Nope." Ahsoka shook her head with a smile, her small lekku bouncing around her shoulders. "I'm afraid you hold that title, Rexster. You understand me more," she said thoughtfully. "Besides, you're more fun."

Rex's eyebrows shot up to his hairline in surprise at that last sentence. He opened his mouth to express his disbelief, but Ahsoka cut him off with a laugh. "Do you want to eat this or not?"

"Yes!" He said immediately, his face ringing a slight red at his eagerness. Ahsoka giggled again, that high sweet sound, and Rex didn't even try to hold back his smile.

The two sat on the floor of a dark supply room, splitting the cake equally between them. It was a little childish and definitely not what someone would imagine the famed leaders of the 501st would be doing with their free time. But the slightly dry cake was the best thing Rex had eaten in a galactic year, and Ahsoka’s eyes shone a clear blue even in the dark, surrounded by weapons and a war she didn't belong in. But despite her youth and goodness and occasional immaturity, Rex knew Ahsoka belonged right there with him, and she'd always belong right by his side.

"Can I open my eyes yet?" Rex and Ahsoka for the ask game

Rex tried not to be nervous at Leia’s poorly concealed whispering, especially since she couldn’t even finish her sentence without a giggling fit. So he tried to focus instead on Luke bustling back and forth with the paints and brushes. The little boy had a tooka painted on one cheek and a clone trooper helmet on the other.

It had been Ahsoka’s idea to do face painting to cut through the boredom in hyperspace. And Rex didn’t mind- he liked a little harmless silliness now and then.

Ahsoka eyed him carefully with Leia in her lap. “I don’t know, kid… I think his forehead is too big for that.” She teased, which prompted him to roll his eyes at the laughter from the twins.

Nevertheless, she picked up a brush. “Close you eyes.” She said, and Rex gave her one last apprehensive look before complying.

The paint was cold on his skin and he flinched a little, partly on purpose. “Rex, stop moving!” He heard Leia say, bossy as ever. Ahsoka filled in a shape in the middle of his forehead and along his brow line, which made Luke giggle.

“I guess I can’t talk then either?” He said as the brush swiped across his cheek, and Ahsoka sighed, feigning frustration. She took his chin in her hand, tilting his head to one side as she filled in a shape on his cheek.

He raised his brows to make a face, and he could hear Luke’s laughter as Ahsoka tapped him on the nose. “You messed up my artwork! Now I have to fix it.”

She grabbed his chin again to point his head down as he laughed, taking in the absurdity of it. “I still don’t understand why my eyes are closed- I can’t see my own face.”

“It’s a surprise!” He heard Luke say. Ahsoka tilted his head the other way to finish the shape on this other cheek, before pulling him forward to plant a brief kiss on his lips.

The twins reacted like they normally did, with giggles and mock disgust. He smiled as she pulled away.

“Can I open my eyes yet?” He asked, sitting up straighter.

“Not yet, I’m grabbing the mirror!” Ahsoka responded, and he heard some scuffling as she went to grab it and come back to where he was seated. He felt Luke clambering on his back to rest his head on his shoulder.

“Now!” Leia said, giggling as she held up the handheld mirror.

Rex opened his eyes, taking in the familiar pattern of Ahsoka’s facial markings on his face. He laughed, crinkling the paint on his forehead again.

“This was your idea, huh, Leia?” He asked and the little girl grinned.

“Now you have the same face.” She giggled. Part of him was touched by the notion that in Leia’s eyes all they needed to be the same as one another was some painted markings on their skin.

“I dunno, kid, I already have the same face as all of my brothers.” He said, looking over at Ahsoka. “Besides, I think she wears it better than me.”

He crawled forward to give Ahsoka a kiss on the forehead, Luke hanging on with his arms around his neck.

Rex sat back down, reaching for the paints and raising an eyebrow at Leia. “Your turn, princess.”
