Close-up of Obi-Wan in my fancover of Desert Storm by @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning
(Those space-desert googles come directly from that deleted scene between Han and Luke, in the original prequels. Because Tatooine is poor and Obi-Wan is poorer so he has Old Stuff.)

The sheer GLEE coursing thru me right now ---
Not the lobby, Qui-Gon prays, worried for the people there.
A yelled shriek, and then a low, forcible cry, and he two jedi skid to a quick stop just in time to witness the darksider flung through the air, slamming into the wall ahead of them from around the corner.
Ben and Qui-Gon share a glance, before the Sith’s snarling as he rises, and the sudden shart retort of a personal blaster attempts to send him back to the ground.
They fail, batted away with the simple shunt of a red saber as the Sith takes a dangerous step back towards his new obstacle –
Only for a rather less avoidable flying quartz bench to send him into the wall again – and this time through the tranparisteel window with a crash.
Tarot, Chapter 12, by Blue_Sunshine on ao3
Tiny diplomat in between the zabrak and the lobby: I will shoot the weird red and black man
Maul: I eat blaster bolts for breakfast
Very large hunting reptile warrior king standing right behind her: but can you also eat BENCH for breakfast
Maul: (loonie tunes esque outline in the glass, muffled angry yelling as he plummets)
In conclusion
Sometimes. Violence is not only necessary but HILARIOUS

I love reading fics from fandoms I’m not in, I’m learning so much lore so fast and I have no idea what’s canon and what’s fanon

Would anyone care for some unsolicited fanfic recs in this trying time?
Star Wars (because I have no other life):
(Re)convene by Nightfall_1409:
10 years after sacrificing himself for the Rebellion, Ezra Bridger is offered the chance to turn back the clock and alter the course of history forever- the Force sending back with him a ragtag band of heroes, all whom have proven themselves worthy of the chance, all of whom have the drive to prevent the events that turned their lives into living nightmares, all of whom have the chance to save their loved ones from their fates.
Now 35 years in the past, returned to the era of the Republic 6 years before the rise of the Empire, 3 years before the start of the Clone Wars, he has to unite his scattered allies- Ahsoka Tano, Din Djarin, Boba and Omega Fett- and put together the puzzle of what caused the galaxy to fall, or they'll all be doomed to watch it happen again.
Personal Thoughts:
I really like this one. Time travel is my favorite trope. It’s well written, it draws you in, and the author has done an excellent job of mashing up Legends and Canon in fun and unique ways.
It has everything: Force Sensitive Omega, Tired Space Dad Din Djarin accidentally becoming a main character, Ezra and Anakin as chaotic besties, no Jedi bashing, and much more that would be spoilers.
The author tries to update twice a month. It’s really good. Also this is the only one I’m including the summary for because I’m lazy.
Time-Traveling Artoo by SpiderMansUnfriendlyNeighbor
Crack fic go brrrr. Seriously though, it’s just Artoo fucking with Sidious and then kidnapping children to matchmake. I was laughing the whole way through.
A Means of Survival by LessAttitudeMoreAltitude
In which Ursa finds a half dead Jedi Padawan named Caleb and the Mandalorian Adoption instinct activates. Listen, Sabine has decided the Jetti’ad is her favorite person, they can’t just not adopt him
The Time Heals ‘verse by jessicas_pi
Force Sensitive Sabine travels back in time to the Clone Wars, accidentally bonds with a Force Entity that I’m 99% sure is the Brother, becomes Obi-Wan’s Padawan, and keeps accidentally-on-purpose bringing people back to the past.
Also Quinlan Vos is there.
It’s Sabezra if that’s a turn off for anyone.
You Either Die A Hero… by RennyBanette
The 501st gets trapped in a time loop on Umbara. Delightful crack full of Krell murder and fire.
The Desert Storm by Blue_Sunshine
This is the Star Wars time travel fic. It’s so good. 4 years after the fall of the Republic Obi-Wan gets caught in a sandstorm, and when it passes he’s back in time when Anakin’s just a three year old clinging to his mom’s skirt.
Naturally, Obi-Wan frees the Skywalkers, changes his name to Ben Naasade, takes his younger self as a Padawan, and gives Mace Windu so many headaches.
Featuring: Jedi Shmi Skywalker, Pong Krell getting his shit wrecked, Legends stuff, Jedi Shmi Skywalker, Mandalorians being awesome, Alderaan being awesome, Jedi Shmi Skywalker, Obitine, the Sith being evil and creepy, and most importantly, Jedi Knight Shmi Skywalker

HELLO !!!
Having now finished binging all of your star wars fics, I come here asking for some recs. Just any of your favourites, bonus points if it will cause emotions (and tears).
Also can't stress enough how much I love your writing, it's so so brilliant <3
(this is neptunesenceladus btw, tumblr hates me and won't let me send asks with a side blog so you get this one)
HI!!! Good to see you, good to see you <3 Always happy to provide recs <3 <3 <3
I want you to know I went through my bookmarks and pulled like sixty fics and had a brief moment of panic, so this is not all of my recs just the first... thirty, or so. If none of these are appealing, oh boy, do I have more!
This list is not in any order other than bookmark order, most are on the shorter side, most are Gen and I am pretty sure all are complete. I tried to warn for stuff that could be a squick when I remembered.
False Dichotomy by nsmorig
Starting off strong with my favorite Cody fic of all time. If you read nothing else on this list I encourage you to read this (if the tags are not a squick) because it will re-shape your brain and shatter your heart into tiny pieces. Basic premise is Force Sensitive Cody gets captured by Dooku and survives torture, experimentation, and imprisonment while trying to figure out his relationship to the Force and to his personhood, and the ways those things are connected. 
What's in a Name by Sankt
This is about Fordo post war and it’s phenomenal characterization. 
The Last Poem of Jedha by schweinsty
How Bohdi Rook becomes a rebel and writes a poem. 
you're like a loaded gun by kazhan
Ok this is E and also Underage, so maybe it’s a skip, but it’s teen Boba/Cal trying to navigate sex and love and secret identities and it’s so fucked up and so good. 
chicken, cattle and cat by deniigiq
Obi-Wan and Maul living in domestic dis-harmony on Tatooine. What more could you ask. 
Little things [are the reason to live] by i_will_bite
Clone medics navigating a slightly hostile working environment and trying to make it less hostile T-T
Two brothers (and a kid) by meerlicht
What if. Waxer and Boil just stayed on Ryloth, with Numa. What then? 
with poise, with grace by andeemae
Stone falls through a hole in a roof and falls in love. Beautiful clone/OC romance and very cute kids, doesn’t shy away from the difficulties of being a clone in love with a civilian. Very much an inspiration for me.
second time around by This_world_of_beautiful_monsters
This is another one I wasn’t sure I wanted to put on here because it deals briefly with rape, but it’s such a wonderfully fucked up take on Anakin and Rex’s relationship. Or, how Vader views Rex. 
The Desert Storm by Blue_Sunshine
If you are looking for an epically long series to get invested in I highly recommend checking this one out. This series and its sister-series are some of the best characterization and worldbuilding for Jedi I have ever had the pleasure of reading and it is a fix-it in all the messy, hard, terrible ways people don’t usually write fix-its. 
Shape-Changer by Fialleril
This is a foundational fic for me. Incredible Tatooine worldbuilding. Inspired me to write the way I write. 
The Sun Is Bright, The Sun Is Blue by ambiguously
CUT AND SU ORIGIN STORY!!! 
most things may never happen: this one will by jaigeye
This is brutal but what if you were a droid and you had to dissect a person. 
Bad Deal by FettsOnTop (GTFF)
Boba/Lando my beloved. A brief look into their relationship and into Lando’s thoughts leading up to Han and them’s arrival. 
and the Force is with me by sauntering_down
Rex and Ahsoka and the way the war changed them, and what they can and cannot do in the aftermath. 
Twilight on Owl Creek Bridge by yellow_caballero
The Fox fic of all time. What if you were trapped in a time-loop with a ghost from the future but your life is so monotonous and simultaneously bizarre you don’t even notice. 
Fishhooks by yellow_caballero
The Boba fic of all time. This author does not write much for SW but every time they do it’s iconic. What if you were a teenager running away from home but also a perfect clone of your father created to be him but better but also his because you will never escape his body and his ownership and his love. What then. 
Staring into open flame by SLWalker
This is such a beautiful and heartbreaking read, it’s basically exploring what would have to happen for Maul and Obi-Wan to have a genuinely healthy and happy relationship post murder and bisection. 
Energy Drink Fox by carrinth
The crack comic of all time. What if Fox had space Monster.
lost cause by catboydogma
The foundational Dogma fic. The fic that got me wondering about how clones spend their time on Coruscant. 
the married au by dharmaavocado
Clone rebellion my beloved. Basic premise is the clones took over Kamino and then went out into the galaxy as a mercenary army of sorts. Rex and Cody are finding their place in the world, creating business partnerships, falling in love, manipulating public perception of clones. (Background clonecest, not between Rex and Cody.)

June recs
June was full of Neil Gaiman fandoms: first I rewatched Good Omens S1 (S2 on Friday!!!) and then plowed through my backlog of fic to read, and then I watched The Sandman. So there's six Good Omens recs, two Sandman recs, and one lone but lovely Goblin Emperor rec.
Tumblr media
GOOD OMENS
Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach by Nnm / @mouseonamoose Amazing story about Crowley going to therapy, from his therapist's POV. The author clearly knows their stuff and Aubrey is a vivid character in her own right with her own journey to go on. This one's been recced all over, but it really is that good.
dearly departed by attheborder / @areyougonnabe In which Crowley gets discorporated and many shenanigans ensue - the London occultist underworld, lust-demons, Hell bureaucracy, Aziraphale vs loopholes, fake marriage, and of course, a happy ending. Slightly morbid at times but a fun hilarious romp.
Temptation by out_there / @out-there-tmblr Lovely look at Crowley tempting Christ (as he mentions to Aziraphale), and the lasting effect it has on him.
the deft, sweet gesture of your hand by deadgreeks / @mortuarybees Post-S1, Crowley turns up injured at the bookshop and Aziraphale takes care of him. Such a tender romance, such warm h/c. Poetry! Knitting! Pining! Ferociously protective Aziraphale!
Hell to Pay by battle_cat / @fuckyeahisawthat "In the midst of the Great Fire of London, Crowley does an emergency good deed too undemonic for Hell to ignore." Wistful h/c.
Lead me to the banquet hall by obstinatrix & wishwellingtons In which Crowley doesn't eat around Aziraphale because he has too many Feelings about it - and then Aziraphale finds out. Creative, delightful, hot, and well-characterized!
You can also find my older Good Omens recs on Pinboard!
SANDMAN
Spite (Is As Good A Reason As Any) by Blue_Sunshine In which Hob doesn't just build an inn and pine after 1989, but hires Johanna Constantine to help him track down Dream. Great AU in many directions, and the Hob-Johanna friendship is a complete scene-stealing delight. (If you like them as much as I did, there's another WIP that just finished: Totus Mundus Agit Histrionem, which kicks off with Johanna rescuing Hob from a demonic possession.)
Passing the Time by Anonymous Dream passes time in the fishbowl by quietly terrorizing his guards. (The author tagged this 'Dream is petty and terrifying' and I couldn't agree more.) Viciously funny but also a little heartbreaking.
GOBLIN EMPEROR
Between the Grave and the Well by Sphragis "In which Iäna Pel-Thenhior catches a fever and Thara Celehar catches feelings." Gorgeous hurt/comfort-y get-together that really captures the characters and the world.

Summary: In Tatooine legend, the sandstorm is Lukka, the Fury, both cleansing and damning. Lukka, the slaves believed, was Justice, was he who remade the world, and remade the soul. The storm screams at him, and Obi-Wan Kenobi screams back. ~*~ Four years after Order 66 and the fall of the Jedi Order, a grieving, struggling Ben Kenobi finds himself inexplicably taken back in time.
Author: @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning
Note from submitter: Great fic series with really nice worldbuilding

What obi-wan time travel fics would you reccomend?
I have been preparing for this ask my whole AO3-bookmarking life.
the massive machinery of hope by Killbothtwins: the absolute best, the amazing, the Time Traveling Obi-Wan Is A Little Shit series you never knew you needed. NOT a crack series, but it is very good fun. Obi goes back, and uses his fore-knowledge and the amazing power of PTSD to make everyone think he's a baby seer. Qui-Gon Jinn feels very hunted by this child who shows up to places ahead of him. Features an amazing new plot from the get-go; no rehashing the usual canon timeline here!
The Desert Storm by Blue_Sunshine: in which Obi comes back in his Old Man body and takes baby Obi-Wan as an apprentice. Another one that does a good job of setting its own plot distinct from canon. Each series entry is generally a whole-ass novel with a plot that builds off the others. I am currently traumatized (positive) by a certain plot development, and refusing to read chapter-by-chapter. Fortunately it updates so fast that I can simply wait a month or two then pull off the latest bandaid REALLY FAST and see if the newest entry hurts. It's Hurt/Comfort roulette, baby!
Can't return to who I was before by K_R_Closson: Dooku takes tired time-traveler Obi as his padawan. The hospice chapter HURT me, in the best way.
BONUS fics: time-traveling-Obi-adjacent stories
Full Circle by cjwritesfanficnow: Baby Dooku outsider POV on time traveler Kenobi suddenly being in the temple. Baby Dooku is VERY SUSPICIOUS.
Luminous by HopeofDawn: Force Ghost Obi-Wan goes back in time to haunt Kamino. The baby clones feel loved. Jango feels harassed.

Fic Rec Friday
It has come to my attention that I have really really slacked off in making the most important fic rec I could every make: The Ben Naasade Saga (comprised of two series: Desert Storm and Rise and Fall) by @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning Blue_Sunshine on Ao3 Begin reading here.
Four years after the events of Revenge of the Sith, Ben Kenobi of Tatooine walks out into a sandstorm and when he makes it to his destination he realizes he’s many years in the past. He adopts the name Ben Naasade and sets about doing everything he can to change the fate of Anakin Skywalker and prevent the tragic events of his timeline from happening this time around. Including changing the course of events for 13 year old Obi-Wan Kenobi.
It’s sounds like the heart of every time travel fix it but I promise you: it is So. Much. More. It very very much an epic saga. It has many many parts. It’s well over a million words. PLEASE don’t let that turn you away. It is worth every second of your time. It is masterfully written. It is done with time and care and attention to so many details of Star Wars knowledge and lore. It has layers and layers. The foreshadowing is meticulous and yet you will be absolutely floored and gobsmacked. Again and again. This was what dragged me into fanfic. I would literally pay very large amounts of money to own a bound copy of this. It deserves a place of honor on a library bookshelf.
I cannot possibly oversell this enough. This story will change you. Whether you are like me and binge read and consume this over a very intense month(s?)and walk away dazed and reeling with everything you just went through or slowly work your way through and savor the depth of the plot and characters and events, please. Just. Read this.

2. A fic you've reread several times?
Fic Recs (Ask Meme)
I want to answer with more than one because lbr I love doing recs. (I've tagged those I could find a tumblr for, but some don't have immediate links that I can find with a cursory search.)
Catvengers by nyargles (@defractum) - I read this probably once a year because it's just an eternal favorite
Bargaining by proantagonist - no longer available on AO3 (not actually sure why), has made me cry every time, which I've found is pretty hard! EDIT: It's back on AO3! Also, op has a tumblr, @proantagonista.
#standbylegion by esama (@esamastation) - a haunting but hopeful fusion of the MCU and Kingsman.
(The rest are Star Wars, promise.)
Lion Jinn, also by esama - I'm a sucker for a reincarnated-as-animal fic. This one is incredibly cute.
edge of providence by adiduck (book_people) (@adiduck), whimsicalimages (@keensers) - I am perhaps at this very moment rereading this one. Shhhh don't tell.
the massive machinery of hope by Killbothtwins (@killbothtwins) - I've read this one SO many times, it has one of my absolute favorite Qui-Gon&Obi-Wan dynamics of all time.
Dead Peanut Gallery by tanarill - IDK what to say about this one other than that it's very fun. Ghostly Obi-Wan pokes Vader into defecting when he finds out Luke is his in Episode V.
Kneading by Threebea O (ThreeBea) (@threebea) - Have you ever wanted a canonverse bakery AU that's actually undercover work and ends with our precious idiots getting kidnapped to Kamino? Because this fic is great. Everyone's got idiot moments, and also Boba is three, and adorable.
R2-D2 Saves the Galaxy (Okay, so Obi-Wan helps a little) by kj_feybarn (@feybarn) - One of my absolute favorite fics. Nothing liked Artoo POV, especially when interspersed with Obi-Wan.
there is no death (there is a wedding) by virdant (@virdant-writing) - one of my early forays into Jangobi, and generally just a very fun approach to things like Petty Legal Battles With Grandpa Who Thinks You Married Wrong.
Encrypted Channel by qigiined (@deniigi) - Do you want OT-era Rexwalker, but infinitely more stupid despite theoretically being too old for this shit? Do you want it in chatfic format? Do you want Vader to be following Rex around (metaphorically) with puppy eyes (less metaphorically) and being upset that Rex doesn't want to get with him after all the many crimes? Yes. You do.
A Star to Steer By by dogmatix, norcumi (@dogmatix, @norcumii) - I have reread this so many times. I'm not even in Stargate fandom, and yet this crossover verse owns me. (Still thinking about how Ventress and Narec and the entire Rattatak situation might have gone down ngl.)
Although He Smiles by AutumnChild22 (HonestlyHelen) (@autumnchild22) - we love a time travel fic that has people redefining the natures of their relationships to one another.
Blue Tooka Guy by Millberry_5 (@the-writing-mill) - This one is just a very fun little feel-good romp.
The Desert Storm and Rise and Fall by Blue_Sunshine (@blue-sunshine-mauve-morning) - Okay I admittedly haven't reread this multiple times, but I have reread parts of it multiple times, if that counts? (The two series together are one and a half million words, so.)
Realign the Stars by CrystalRainsWriting, TerinAngel (@terinangel) - afaik this is discontinued but it's so good and shaped a lot of my early approach to SW time travel fic.
Of Queens, Knights, and Pawns by chancecraz (@chancecraz) - Do you love Leia? Do you love hypercompetent future Leia who's cranky about being nineteen again because nobody takes her seriously? Read this.
Shifting Sands also by chancecraz - still a hypercompetent Leia, but further back and Still Old and also the most recent chapter was 65,000 words.
Don't Look Back by acuteneurosis (@this-acuteneurosis) - another Leia time-travel, this one focusing very heavily on political maneuvering and things like trade routes. We got economics and supply route fic.
Force of Many Sights by DAsObiQuiet - There's something magical about fics that go into such detail about the time and effort that therapy, especially therapy for Darth Vader, takes.
Viridescent Skies by DarthSnug (themikeymonster) (@themikeymonster) - listen I just really love age/role swaps and this is a REALLY good one.
Living in Borrowed Time by smug_albatross (@scribbling-albatross) - Another one of those fics that I'd say really shaped my early approach to characters of this era. The handling of Rex and Ahsoka is magnificent, honestly, and we all know I love a good time travel plot.
Senator Obi-Wan AU by BeanieBaby - incredibly fun. Yes there's Senator Kenobi, but there's also Fox being pursued by two different Jedi (Kit and Quin), a variety of topsy-turvy character interactions that make sense in a funhouse mirror sense (e.g. Obi-Wan preferring blasters to sabers because he didn't grow up with the Jedi), and Anakin repeatedly almost kills Palpatine by accident.
Soft Wars by Project0506 (@thefoundationproject) - no explanation needed. Is cute.
Dominoes by meridianpony (@meridiansdominoes) - we don't need to go over my intense love of time-travel fics again. really.
Sith Lord Swell by AMournfulHowlInTheNight (has a blog but not for fandom stuff) - Luke falls back in time and decides to handle it by pretending to be a Sith Lord. It works (somehow).

Do you have some Sandman fic recs? I only just started going through them but I could use some guidance and I trust your taste.
Hey nonnie, absolutely do I have recs!! ❤️
Most of these are Dream/Hob, and I tried not to go overboard - if you do want more, you're more than welcome to hit me up, or check out my AO3 bookmarks for the show. All of these are completed, and while they aren't sorted in any particular order, the first three are my top faves <3
In the arms of Morpheus | Dans les bras de Morphée. by aalisse [Dream/Hob | 12 320 | Teen | no warnings]
Attraction to Dream of the Endless comes to Hob in a form of a slow, simmering fire. At times it burns brighter, other times it calms until it’s barely noticeable. It never goes away fully, partially because Hob doesn’t want it to. His companion is the embodiment of hope and dreaming. It would be sacrilege to give up hope in being wanted by him. _____ Death comes for a raven, and finds her brother. He doesn't ask her for help, but prevents her possible entrapment, so she finds Hob Gadling and suggests he do something about the situation at hand. Cue a one man resque mission in 1926, which leads to dozens of years of platonic, yet vaguely romantic dating both in the waking world and in the Dreaming.
an immortal's guide to contrition by trellomonkey [Dream/Hob | 6 619 | Teen | no warnings]
“I’ll win him over,” he says, resolute. “I’ll woo him.” In 1889, Hob Gadling has a falling out with his friend. He spends the next century coming up with a way to make it up to him.
King of Infinite Space by Banhus [Dream/Hob | 15 865 | Mature | no warnings]
In which Hob has a spate of odd nightmares, a collection of strays, a student with an unusual knack, and a very weird fall semester.
Hope and Stubbornness Endure by icarus_chained [Dream/Hob | 14 028 | Mature | Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings]
There are consequences to being caught in nightmares not your own, in the tormented memories of beings infinitely more powerful than you. Hob Gadling doesn't care. Nightmares can't kill him. And if this was ever real, he has no choice but to try and fight it now. To show ... to show his friend that he would have rescued him. If he'd known. He would have tried, no matter what it cost.
Heat Wave by spqr [Dream/Hob | 6 689 | Explicit | no warnings]
“Sounds like you’re horny to me,” says Matthew.
how real hunger has a real taste by ThirdActLove [Dream/Hob | 3 045 | Mature | no warnings]
Dream has one hand on the glass door, one foot almost in the Dreaming, when Hob calls out. “Wait.”
Spite (Is As Good A Reason As Any) by Blue_Sunshine [Dream & Hob, Hob & Johanna Constantine | 24 695 | G/A | no warnings]
Hob has a bone to pick with (Dream of the Endless) and damn if he isn't going to find the bastard to have it out. ~~ The White Horse Inn is officially condemned in 2009 and Hob, twenty years after being stood up, decides that he's not going to let that be the last word. ~~ Or, ten years before Paul Maguire either finally loses his nerve (or gains it, perhaps), Hob Gadling and Johanna Constantine become unlikely partners on a seemingly ill-fated search for an immortal man who never actually gave his only friend his name.
the perils of inebriation by Lilibet [Dream/Hob | 1 372 | G/A | no warnings]
Lesson number one: don’t try and keep pace with an immortal being when drinking. Spoiler: Hob fails at lesson number one.
Crystal Vision by clintorisbarton [Dream/Hob | 11 239 | Explicit | no warnings]
Hob Gadling's life, from the moment he meets Dream to the moment he meets Dream.

10/10. Magical.
I made the mistake of reading this at work, which was a mistake not for any smut (the rating on this fic is a very appropriate T) but because I almost burst into tears four separate times. As someone who can be driven to tears by an adequately cute kitten, I can't promise that you'll share my experience, but if you're into heartfelt time travel fics, this is for you.
I feel I ought to warn you though, this is the first fic in a very long series. In its entirety, the series has 1.5 million words. While I imagine you could probably read this fic by itself, I can't advise it - the ending left me craving more.
