Fox absolutely hates the sound of eating, of the chrono ticking on the wall of his office.
He hates it when he sits across from senators and they tap their nails on the desk.
He thought he was used to sound. He had grown up with a million brothers after all. It was impossible to get a moment of true silence on Kamino, even at night he was surrounded by his brothers and the sounds they made. At night he listened to Bly snoring, he listened to Wolffe’s loud breathing, he could hear Cody tossing in his bed with nightmares. Ponds used to mumble in his sleep, nonsensical words and demands that were like a lullaby to Fox.
Moving to Coruscant. It’s not quiet, not really. A planet as overpopulated as Coruscant can’t be quiet. There is always the loud noise of traffic, of people wandering the streets. In certain sectors there are the bar patrons, the loud advertisements blaring nonstop, the mechanical hissing of the machines that keep Coruscant alive and functioning.
But working on Coruscant is quiet. The Guards headquarters is a restricted area to non-military personnel and so it is quiet in a way that Fox is not used to. Inside his own office he can completely shut out all noise and at first he thought this would be a good thing. He thought finally getting away of the endless sound of his brothers simply living, simply being and existing, he thought it would be calming, that it would be relaxing.
But when his office is silent, the loud and insistent tick tick tick of the chrono may just as well be a noisy battlefield. The rhythmic sound produced a headache behind his eyes, it sets his whole body on edge. Fox tried to tune the sound out, but the harder he tried to ignore it the more he noticed it.
After one particularly stressful day, a day spend in the senate. A day spend amongst the senators who deem him and his brothers as nothing more but canon fodder. On a day like that, Fox punched the chrono until it stopped.
And his office was quiet again.
But his men, his brothers, they are not deterred. The other Commanders of the Coruscant Guard know to take their lunch with Fox, to crowd his office with the laughter of brothers once again. They bring back the loud, comforting noises that Fox has missed. The good noise, the safe noise. Fox likes those days. Though his commanders cant always make it, sometimes only one of them can.
Fox hates those days, where it’s him and one other brother.
There are long laps of silence in which his brother eats and the sound of it is so revolting. It’s disgusting, and Fox has begged many times for his brothers to keep their mouths closed when they eat but they insist they do then go right back to making the revolting sounds.
So he kicked his brothers out and his office was quiet again.
He cannot kick out the chancellor of the republic. Can not demand he turns and leaves when he taps his fingers in a slow, agonising rhythm on his desk. Fox stares through his vizor as the fingers come down one by one, before pulling back up and starting all over again.
Sometimes Fox thinks the Chancellor does it on purpose.
He longs for the moment he is allowed to leave, and his office will be quiet again.

“Dear Force,” he prays. Threatens. He’s arriving at the bargaining stage from left to catch it off guard. “Have I not suffered enough?”
“Mrrrrp!”
“Quiet over there, I’m trying to reach a mystical entity.”
“Myam!”
“Thanks, Ponds. Knew I could count on you.”
Sitrep. Cody’s currently trying to take a nap. It is not going well.
“Why didn’t you turn into shrimp or something easy,” he mutters, shoving the pillow up with his shoulder.
He’s had an incredibly long night in the Jedi Archives trying to help find texts that might help his batchmates turn back into the humanoid assholes they are.
“Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”
“Watch the hair, Wolffe.”
Wolffe chooses to ignore him, naturally. He continues impersonating a broken speeder and kneading Cody’s head.
Bly is— “Meep!” - still stuck behind Cody’s back.
Right. Nap.
His head kind of slumps back with the sigh, the stress flowing out of his shoulders like water down a stream—
There’s a rustling. One of them jumps on the couch, it seems.
Silence.
Cody deigns to open one eye and watches as Ponds drags a Jedi robe onto the backrest before nesting in it in quick, efficient moves.
“Is that General Windu’s,” he asks as if he actually wants to know.
As an answer he gets a stuck up tail and a frankly unnecessary view of his brother’s butthole before limbs, tail, and head are tugged into the fluffy ball of fur.
Alright. Time to close his eyes again.
Crossing his arms, he wriggles around until he’s - “Meep?!” - comfortable. Wolffe is still kneading, Bly is fighting a cushion, Ponds is living Cody’s dreams by being asleep and snoring—
“If you stick your tongue into my ear again, I’ll shoot you into orbit, Fox.”
“Rrya?”
“Yeah yeah, come here, you fool.”

mace windu is amazing, he's the best, he has a purple lightsaber, the master of the order, the master of vaapad, he tried diplomacy with droids, he was going to kill palpatine, he's as bald as his commander, he's played by samuel l jackson in the movies, he's fucking hilarious, he trained master depa billaba, he's actually nice to jar jar, if you hate him you simply are stupid, thanks, have a nice night

See what Fox doesn’t remember is that it was his idea.

*during their monthly check-in call*
Fox: Alright, I'm bored, let's have a little competition. What's the weirdest thing your generals have done or can do?
Bly, dreamily: General Secura doesn't do anything weird, she's great... Fox: Bly's in love with his general, in other news water is wet, moving on! Rex: Sometimes General Skywalker just straight-up eats bugs. He doesn't cook them or anything, he just finds a bug and eats it. Fox: Now that's the kind of garbage I'm looking for! Next! Ponds: Sometimes General Windu will be about to make a decision and just stare really hard at whatever he's making a decision about for an uncomfortably long time. Then he'll shotgun like 10 space-Advil and keep going. Fox: I am both concerned and impressed, next! Wolffe: General Koon has made Separatist generals straight up surrender just by using his Disappointed Dad Voice™️ on them. Fox: Wow, that's- Cody: My general can talk to the dead. The Rest of Them: ... Cody: Get fucked.

Cody is generally quite a mature guy, but that facade immediately crumbles the minute Rex says, "bet you won't do it" because he will not let him win. It's peak sibling behaviour.
Rex dares Cody to snort lines of salt? No, he'd never. Rex says "I knew you wouldn't." Cody is snorting a line that's as long as he is tall.
Halloween is coming up, and Cody makes a joke about dressing up as a cowboy and getting Obi-Wan to do the same. Rex makes a Brokeback joke. Cody immediately decides he is not doing that anymore. Rex says, "bet you won't do it, coward." Cody turns up in full cowboy gear. Hat, boots, gun holster, and a replica pistol. Hell, he even has a lasso which he uses to irritate Rex.
Rex once dared Cody to burn a marshmallow and then immediately swallow it after pulling it back from the fire, and Ponds has to slap it out of Cody's hand to stop him from doing it.
Wolffe is a bastard and actively encourages Rex to dare him to do stupid shit.
Fox doesn't care. [He does, he finds it so funny.]

being a clone wars fan is incredibly inconvenient, because my top 5 favorite characters are:
guy who got shot
guy who shot the first guy
different guy who got shot and had like 3 lines of dialogue + 3 bajillion lore inconsistencies
guy who is incredibly hard to write (for me), his main ship has like 10 gifs worth of canon content, and vaguely but inevitably doomed to a tragic fate
david felony's favorite OCs with plot armor but at the cost of watching everyone they love die

In the middle of the night in the Commander Chat:
Bly: So which one of you was going to tell me that tea tastes different if you make it with hot water?
Cody, who has become the self-proclaimed tea expert of the batch because of his proximity to Obi-Wan: you've been making it with cold water?????
Ponds, eternally confused and concerned: Bly, please answer the question
Bly: Yeah?? I thought that people were using hot water to speed up the "teafication" process. Didn't realise that there was an actual reason. no wonder Aayla doesn't ask me to make tea anymore
Wolffe: you couldn't be assed to put the cup into the microwave for three minutes to boil the water?
Cody, this close to losing it: WHY are you putting it in the microwave to boil it??????!!
Wolffe: Do you think I have the patience to boil water on a stove?
Cody: It takes less than A MINUTE
Wolffe: Vod is your stovetop powered by the fucking sun?!
Cody: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO BOIL A CUP OF WATER ON A STOVE
Wolffe: like seven minutes?
Cody: just stick the cup on the top of the stove on medium heat and it boils in like two minutes!!
Wolffe: wait you're putting the whole cup on the stove?? on medium heat?? your stove is enchanted
Rex, reading this while listening to Fives and Hardcase trying to give Anakin an explanation on whatever disaster they've now caused on the ship: this chat is full of fucking lunatics
Fox, being awakened by the chat going off after finally falling asleep: DO NONE OF YOU OWN A FUCKING K E T T L E

I really like the specific niche of star wars fans that are just obsessed with clones (like myself) bc I swear, we are the most avoidant group of ppl the galaxy has ever fcking met.
what do you mean Hardcase died on Umbara? he looks fine to me?
Fives? Died? girl when? last I remember he was choking the life out of chancellor palpatine
Waxer, dead because of Krell? not if you don't look at it he's not
Domino Squad? ALIVE AND BREATHING, THANK YOU!!
Ponds? killed by a bounty hunter? I'd like to see her try, Mace would kill her
99 will never die, fight me
Tup? are u crazy, I saw him yesterday, we hugged it out
THE ENTIRE 332 COMPANY? We are literally having drinks with them right now, what are you on about?
Jesse has never hurt a soul in his life, he is the goodest boy in blue, he would never raise a pistol to Ahsoka, stop talking okay??
Cody? kill obi wan? someone's been drinking the funny juice huh?
order 66 who? never heard of her, leave me alone, no I mean it. go away. stop. STOP, LEAVE!!

Conversation
The Commanders After Spending One Rotation In Fox's Position:
Gree: He just gives Fox a hug to make up for the last few years.
Cody: He manages to hold himself together until he can lock himself in a fresher...where he sobs loudly.
Ponds: He doesn't realize the office isn't completely soundproof, so everyone can hear his frustrated screaming throughout the day and right before he leaves.
Wolffe: He punches a wall until someone opens his (Fox's) office door.
Bly: He lasts three hours before he hurries away, saying something about needing to find Aayla.
Bacara: He walks out of it like it was another day on the frontline--but he's going to name every kill he gets in the future after the people he dealt with in Fox's position.
Bonus Captain:
Rex: "...I shot the chancellor."
Cody: "YOU WHAT!?"
Fox: "...You were always my favorite, Rex."

Cadet Rex talking to bullies: you see those guys over there?
*a command batch that looks absolutely pissed, Wolffe is outright growling at them, Cody is making silent threats at them, Fox has the neutral face of barely controlled anger on and Bly and Ponds are polishing weapons for absolutely no reason at all*
Cadet Rex: those are my ori'vode and they can beat you up for me if I don't feel like doing it myself

Alpha 17: as the CC batch's instructor it is my job to keep an eye on the cadets and while doing that, i've come to the conclusion that it consists of two kinds of people. observe.
Alpha 17: THE FLOOR IS LAVA!
Wolffe: kriff! *climbing up on the couch with Bly thrown over his shoulder and dragging Ponds with him*
Cody: BATTLE STATIONS! *shoves Fox off the table*

Bly: *falls head over heels for Aayla* Ponds: Haha look at that dork, falling for his General. Wolffe: *falls in love with Arran, a Jedi healer* Fox: *rolling his eyes* well, at least it's not a General this time.
Cody: *falls in love with Obi-Wan*
Ponds: ...you cannot be serious. Fox: Well, I guess it's just you, me, and Rex.
Fox: *meets Quinlan* Fox: Never-mind, I get it now. AFTER THE WAR:
Rex: -and yeah, before everything started to go to shit at the end and Anakin started to turn, I fell in love with hi- Ponds: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? YOU WERE MY LAST NORMAL BROTHER!

Everyone [except his brothers] thinks Cody is like Obi-Wan in the sense he doesn't get hungover because it never shows, he just seems like it doesn't bother him at all but it's because he's so good at playing it off, he can stand through an entire meeting with a straight face and not blink but the minute it's over he strolls out the room and immediately vomits in a bin then walks away with a straight face, Obi-Wan stands back laughing because he's a bastard who feels nothing
