I want to read more fics where people have arranged age-gap marriages that are like. Pleasant.
Not mega horny. Not unhappy. Not strained. Just… okay. We Can Work With This. Yes this is a younger person who married a rich older individual without falling in love, but both parties went into it knowingly and willingly, who didn't really want a charmed romance or an escape from anything, they just. Saw an option for whatever they actually needed (a beard, an heir, a cushy lifestyle, protection from unwanted suitors, whatever), and decided to sign a contract and make it work..
There's a "married a friend of my dad's for the money" thing in a show I'm watching and I just. That one ended poorly, but it got me thinking about how I want more variety in arranged marriage plots.
Where is that "Yeah, he needed an heir, I didn't mind a pregnancy, and I wanted a cushy lifestyle that he could provide if I just had the kid and did my part in managing the estate" landed gentry energy when you need it.
I just want "we had a convenient contract signed and cohabitated without any real issue afterwards"

Clonetober #21 Clones and Their Jedi(s) 3/10 part 3
WARNING: There are kisses, hugs and Cody helping Obi Wan get changed. You have been warned!
In the last Story, Cody was proposing to Obi Wan but Fives, Hardcase, and Anakin missed up his plan to propose to Obi Wan. Cody told Obi Wan that he wanted to propose to him and Obi Wan wanted to propose to Cody. They both tried to propose to each other. Obi Wan and Cody knew who messed up Cody’s plan and used HIS AMAZON account. He fainted when he saw that they bought “18 ITEMS” for a total of $6,341.00. Now, I’m going to tell you how their wedding went. (Just to let you know that when I wrote my Clonetober #20 Captain Rex, I realized that I wrote that Cody and Obi Wan were already married and that Riyo was still pregnant. So...let’s just say that they were NOT married yet when Riyo was pregnant.)
Once Cody woke up, he asked Obi Wan if he did propose to him or if it was a dream. Obi Wan laughed and said that it wasn’t a dream and that they both proposed to each other. Cody smiled and gave Obi Wan a kiss. He told Obi Wan that they should start planning their wedding but realized that THOSE 3 spent so MUCH MONEY ON Cody’s AMAZON account. Obi Wan told him that he wrote to the website telling them that someone else used his account and that they are giving him a refund. Cody smiled then asked Obi Wan, “Did you keep the 3 Men Pink Bunny Onesies?” Obi Wan nodded his head. Cody gave Obi Wan a kiss and started thinking of things they would need for their PERFECT WEDDING!
Cody and Obi Wan started planning their wedding. They wrote down a list of ideas they wanted for their wedding. They were thinking of having it on Naboo in the Forest but remembered that there were EWOKS. Cody had an idea that they should have it on Kamino but then realized that it always rains there. Obi Wan suggested that they should have it on the planet Scarif on the Beach but he did tell Anakin once that he would be his BEST MAN at his wedding and that Anakin HATES SAND. They were still having a hard time deciding on where they should have it when Rex popped in and told them a PERFECT place they should have their wedding when he and Ahsoka were looking for a place to have their wedding at. Rex suggested that they could have it at the same place where he and Ahsoka had there’s on Alderaan. Cody and Obi Wan nodded at each other and decided to have it on Alderaan. They thank Rex as he leaves the room. After they found a place for their wedding, Obi Wan called Chancellor Bail Organa if they could have their wedding on Alderaan. Bail told him yes if he invites him to their wedding.
Obi Wan assured him that he was invited to their wedding. Bail was happy to hear that and told them to let him know if he can help in any way. Both Obi Wan and Cody agreed.
Once they had decided on where they should have the wedding, they made a list and invitations to invite for their wedding. Cody made invitations to Rex, Jesse, Kix, Echo, Hunter, Tech, Crosshair, Omega, Waxer, Boil, Wrecker, Fives, Hardcase, Shaak Ti, ARC Trooper Colt, ARC Trooper Blitz, ARC Trooper Havoc, 99, Wolffe, and Fox. He just realized that Fox and Riyo were having their baby(s) now. He didn’t want to not invite his Brother Fox but he also didn’t want him away from Riyo and their baby(s). Obi Wan told him that they can send them a link for them to watch live so Fox and Riyo wouldn’t miss their wedding. Cody kissed Obi Wan and told him he was the best. Once Cody had his invitations done, Obi Wan started his invitations. He chose Bail Organa, Anakin & Padme and their kids Luke and Leia, Qui-Gon Jinn, Ahsoka, Master Yoda, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura, Adi Gallia, and Luminara Unduli. He was almost going to invite Duchess Satine Kryze but Cody asked Obi Wan, “I don’t think you should invite your EX-GIRLFRIEND to our wedding.” When Cody said that, Obi Wan agreed to not invite her but didn’t want to make a good friend upset for not inviting her to their wedding. Cody told him that everything would be OK. Obi Wan hugged Cody and gave him a kiss.
Now that they got the guest list done and the invitations sent out, they decided to return to their own rooms and have a good night sleep and talk about more ideas for their wedding in the morning. They kissed each other and headed to their own rooms. (I wish that they would hide the name list after they were done because….well…..umm...Let’s just say that someone else found an extra invitation.)
The next morning, Cody was already dressed and ready to start planning more about their wedding. He went to peek in Obi Wan’s room and saw that he was still asleep. Cody decided to not wake his fiancé and go eat breakfast with his little Brother Rex. When he got to the mess hall, everyone was CONGRATS on their wedding. Cody told them thanks as he got his food and sat by Rex. Rex asked him where his fiancé was. Cody told him that he was sleeping and didn’t want to wake him up. He also told Rex that he thinks that Obi Wan didn’t get a goodnight sleep. Rex asked how do you know if he didn’t have a goodnight sleep. Cody told Rex that there were 5 mugs of tea and papers all over the floor. Rex and Cody just laughed after what Cody told Rex. Cody asked Rex if he would be his BEST MAN at their wedding. Rex asked Cody, “Me?! I thought that you were going to choose either Waxer or Boil.” Cody told Rex that he didn’t want Waxer and Boil to start an argument on which one Cody loves more. After Rex heard that, he agreed and told him that he would be honored to be his BEST MAN at his wedding. Cody smiled at Rex and the 2 of them started to finish their breakfast. 
After Cody and Rex were done eating, Cody got a message on his Comlink. It was Obi Wan.
Obi Wan: Cody? Did you take the guest list?
Cody: No. Why?
Obi Wan: I wanted to let Bail Organa know how many people are attending our wedding.
Cody: Isn’t on the coffee….
Rex: Hey Obi Wan.
Obi Wan: Rex? What are you doing? Does Cody have his Comlink Volume up for everyone to hear?
Rex: No. We just finished breakfast.
Obi Wan: Oh. I see. Rex?
Rex: Yes Sir?
Obi Wan: Where is Fives, Hardcase, and Anakin….?
BIG CRUSH SOUND
Obi Wan: Nevermind. 
Cody: Are you OK Obi?
Obi Wan: (sighs) I’m fine...ANAKIN! PUT HARDCASE DOWN!
Anakin: Don’t worry Master. I got it all under…..(Hardcase knocked Obi Wan’s favorite Vase) control? Hardcase? Are you OK?
Hardcase: OK? I’M GREAT! Hey! Do you want to play a prank on Jesse and Kix?
Anakin: Sure!
Fives: OH NO! YOU’RE NOT!
Anakin:....
Hardcase:….
Obi Wan: (sigh) Well at least Fives….
Fives: NOT WITHOUT ME! CAME ON! LETS GO!
Anakin and Hardcase: ALRIGHT!
Obi Wan:.....
Rex: I’ll go get them while you guys finish your planning.
Obi Wan: Thank you Rex.
Rex: No problem. I’ll see you later Bro.
Cody: Thanks. Obi Wan? Are you still there?
Obi Wan:.....
Cody: Stay right there. I’m coming.
When Cody saw Obi Wan standing in front of their Break Room. Before Cody could say anything, Obi Wan pointed to their Break Room. When Cody looked at what Obi Wan was pointing at, he was frustrated when he saw what THOSE 3 did. The room was a mess. Plants were tipped over and their ceramic pots destroyed and the place was literally on fire. The sprinklers were going off and the smoke detector was on fire! Somehow the sprinklers were able to short circuit it, making it explode and catch on fire. Cody was going to leave but didn’t because Obi Wan was crying. Cody went over to comfort him. Cody hugged him and rubbed his head, telling him it’s OK. As he said that, Obi Wan pointed to the table. When Cody saw what was once on it, he was SO LIVID! THOSE 3 destroyed Obi Wan’s FAVORITE Ceremonial Tea Set that his Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn gave him as a gift for his Birthday! As Cody was holding
Obi Wan, Cody called Waxer and Boil on his Comlink and told them that this was “Code O.N.A.M.B.F.A.” (Obi Needs A Major Break From Anakin). When Waxer and Boil heard that, they told Cody that they were on it. Cody put this together before when he saw how Obi Wan would sometimes get when Anakin did something STUPID. Cody carried Obi Wan to his room where Waxer and Boil already finished setting up Code O.N.A.M.B.F.A and left the room so Obi Wan could relax. This “CODE” was only meant for Obi Wan. This Code meant that Waxer and Boil make Obi Wan’s favorite Chamomile Tea and soft flute music that is played from the Holopad. Cody did something a little bit more for Obi that day. Since Obi-Wan’s room had a bathtub in it, he decided to make him a soothing bath with unscented bath salt. He also got some REALLY COMFY PJS and WARM FUZZY SOCKS for Obi Wan to wear. He was going to give it to him for Christmas, but he decided to give it to him NOW.
Once Cody got Obi Wan to his room, he had Obi Wan sit on the bed and told him to drink the tea. Obi Wan agreed as he was trying to drink his tea but was spilling it. He was still shaken after what THOSE 3 did. I forgot to mention that when Fives saw Anakin using the force to make Hardcase fly, Fives ran to the supply room and got a jet pack backpack so HE could join in the fun. Anyway, when Cody saw his fiancé in shock, he went over to him and knelt down. He told Obi Wan that everything was OK. Obi Wan calmed down after what Cody said to him. Cody stood up and told him that he would be right back. Before Cody was heading in Obi Wan’s bathroom, he turned on the Holopad so Obi Wan could start to relax some more. Once Obi Wan finished his tea, Cody told him that he had a surprise for him. Obi Wan was still a little bit shaken as he was trying to get the image of the mess out of his head. Cody decided to pick him up and take him to the bathroom. Cody still saw the look on Obi Wan’s face and reassured him that everything is going to be OK. Cody started getting Obi Wan undressed and lifted him in the warm soothing bath. Obi Wan now started to relax. He told Cody that he was the best as Cody kissed Obi Wan forehead. Cody was about to leave the room when he saw Obi Wan start to fall asleep in the bathtub. He chuckled to himself and lifted Obi Wan out of the tub and started to dress Obi Wan in his COMFY PJS and FUZZY SOCKS. Cody decided to have Obi Wan lay on his chest as Obi Wan started to fall asleep knowing that he had a great fiancé who cared so much about him.

*star* Have at it :D
eeeeeee @meggory84​ suggested I do the poetry in Sound the Abyss, and as it was meggory who suggested I put the poetry in it in the first place, here it is!
By the way, @oddlyexquisite​‘s Green Things series will absolutely crack open and melt your frozen heart. I rec it with great enthusiasm. I’d been considering writing a QuiObi fic interwoven with poetry because of Green Things, in fact, but I was not expecting it to be Sound the Abyss. 
I went back and picked 4 of my favourite poems from all the ones I’d ever written. Funny enough, this tumblr originally started out as a poemblr… poetryblr… blurrypoetry….. w/e. Of course, the poems had to be romantic poetry, as befits the genre, and actually these were the only ones that really fit the bill. I imagine Qui-Gon found a rather thin hardcover and clothbound book in that Temple library. 
First poem: 
I walked in the brilliance of a long-drawn night,feet leaving tracks on the shifting sandsthat erased my name from historiesbut held something more ancient for me to seein the palm of the ocean’s hand.The stories of lives of ancient mountains,chipped to dust. The stories of saltwater creatures’ shellsworn to a powdered salt. Maybe one dayin a million years it’ll hold a story of youin the palm of its hand, and me, a galaxy away.
I think this one was the first one I wrote after a long break from poetry-writing. It may or may not have been written around the same time I was thinking of the ‘time-displaced soulmates’ concept—and this poem feels very much outside time. “The stories of lives of ancient mountains, / chipped to dust” isn’t even the first hint of timelessness, but maybe the most obvious one. 
(Given that QuiObi lends itself so well to Force ghosts and the idea of a love outside time, I think by rights this poem might as well just be pinned to all my QuiObi writings.) 
At any rate—there’s quite a gulf there between narrator and addressee. I changed the last sentence, ‘galaxy’ in place of ‘half a world away’. I’d put a lot of work into descriptive writing at one point, very much out of a love for Oscar Wilde’s writing style; eventually I think I tried to back away from that, but I love how it shows up again. There’s something soft and sparkling about this one—the starry night, the shifting sands, the ocean and the powdered salt—all of it glittering and lightweight, and soft. 
Second one: 
Come back soon! I’ve made dinner for two again, gorged myself on grief for what could not be salvaged of this feast. Wilted salad leaves, and crushed cherries, all your favourites that I myself cannot eat. Would that we shared more of our tastes— but alas. You breathe fire; left alone, my fare is woefully bland.
So far as I know, I’ve never unintentionally set the table for the full house when I was alone, but cooking a meal sized for a single person has always been a bit difficult. I do, automatically and accidentally, end up grabbing three forks instead of one when it comes to that. 
But I can’t help imagining someone accidentally setting a table for two when their partner’s just left on a trip of some sort. The poem applies to a fairly established couple, in my mind, but in Abyss, they’ve only just bridged a serious gap. And the way this poem slotted into the text, with Obi-Wan having literally just seen off Qui-Gon to his surgery, I couldn’t not use it. Almost eerie, how it worked out. 
Third one: 
My home is less a place than a timewhen one morning I’ll wake offensively earlyto the quiet patter of rain, make breakfast—not just for myself, at last—and brew teaand we’ll sit, looking out on the forest morning,wrapped in each other’s warmthand this sheltering mist, the breath of the sea.
I wrote this years ago thinking of Cape Cod—cool July nights and occasionally a thick fog, surf sound and ocean smell. Put me anywhere near an ocean and I’m happy. One day I’ll probably get my bum up and move to a beach, all risks accepted. 
I keep thinking of Chandrila as more of a jungle-forest type place, I think, and if the morning air is cool where Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are staying, it may be a matter of their elevation. But the fog and rain are recurring through Abyss. When I think of the weather in this fic, I mostly think of it being cool, for all it’s probably very humid. 
My brain is probably directing its own movie, because towards the end the weather is all sunny and clear—actually, almost immediately after this poem, the whole thing is less grey and the sunlight is less that struggling-through-cloud-cover white light. 
I remember feeling at the time that this poem fit the story least. But it also helped guide the story a bit, because there were bits where I wasn’t quite sure what to do. I wrote that moment where Obi-Wan wanders into Qui-Gon’s quarters and stays the night, which was a huge moment of resolution, and suddenly I didn’t know what to do. So the poem certainly helped close that scene in a good, round way. 
Fourth, and last, and quite possibly my favourite (shh, don’t tell the others): 
In your heart lies a span of foreverwith reality eating away at the endsand memory burning the bridges.
Let me in for a second, to unravel eternitiestrapped within instants.
I love this one. Utterly, and completely, and quite possibly it’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever written. It’s certainly very ‘be in the Moment’ (In your heart lies a span of forever […] unravel eternities / trapped within instants). What kind of pillow-talk… *melts*
I suppose it’s possible this poem could be split in two standalone ones, but I always felt that they work together. It was the natural one to end with, the one that fits both characters most of all, I feel.
