"💛 reunion kiss / relief" for Echo5 pls 🥺👉👈
here are your boys!
if you look closely there's a sticker on fives's forehead that says NOT SOLD SEPARATELY
established relationship, takes place during the war, ~350w,
---
It snowed again during the night, and the landing pad is covered in a thick, fluffy layer of snow. Echo lets the barrack door slip closed at his back and makes his way to the edge of the ‘pad. Everything is very quiet, very still—it’s so early it’s not quite morning, and he’s the only one outside. Echo blows on his hands, his heavy coat feeling weird on his unarmoured shoulders, and starts making his way to the end of the landing pad, his boots puncturing the snow easily with a satisfying crunch.
Red and green dance over his head, and when he closes his eyes Echo thinks he can hear them, crackling light streaking across the deep night sky.
It’s too cold to be outside for long, but Echo leans his hip on a crate and stays there for long minutes, looking at the sky. He’s freezing and tired to the bone, but he can’t sleep. He doesn’t know the brothers he’s sharing the barracks with that well, and Rex and the others are across the galaxy, fighting on Felucia, and—and Fives should have been back two days ago.
ARCs work in pairs, except when they don’t.
The rumbling of a speeder engine renders the night in two. Echo jumps, not quite slips in the snow, leans over the edge of the platform—there. A single vehicle. Making its way up the path and through the checkpoint and into the base.
Fives is very predictable. After checking in with the base’s captain and debrief, he makes his way to the barracks, still covered in dripping snow. Echo waits for him there, failing and trying to not feel self-conscious.
He looks exhausted. There’s a scrape high up on his cheekbone, and a hollow look in his eyes, but Fives smiles when he sees Echo, dark eyes warm.
“Missed me?”
Always.
Echo rolls his eyes. He grips the front of Fives coat and pulls him closer, and there are ice crystals in Fives’s stupid goatee and his breath is sour, but Echo kisses him anyway, Fives’s bulk between him and the world and his mouth warm.

Echo5 + 🥀 unrequited, I am ready to be irreversibly hurt 🫠
Trick or treat prompts
Bonus: song rec
Kix and Hardcase are roughhousing in the barracks. Something about stealing pillows and Hardcase tackling Kix between the bunks—whatever is going on Echo is keeping out of it, tucked away on the bunk above the chaos.
Jesse cackles across from him. Below, Qek yelps and tumbles onto the floor, scrambling backwards out of the crossfire while Artie laughs at him. Echo’s mattress dips as another body clambers over him from a neighbouring bunk.
“Karking hell, Fives,” he mutters, grasping at the rail for balance. “This isn’t an obstacle course.”
“My bunk is under siege,” Fives complains, shuffling until he can fit in beside Echo and clipping him with his heel. Echo pulls his knees to his chest and leaves him space to swing his legs off the side, which he does with glee to observe the scuffle below.
“No need to sacrifice me to the collateral.”
“Hey, I barely touched you! I got smacked in the face.”
“And it still didn’t knock any sense into you,” Jesse calls over the gap between them.
Fives leans closer and grins at him; the beloved sight of it aches a little behind Echo’s ribs.
“No one’s managed, but you’re welcome to give it a try yourself.”
Echo’s toes press up against Fives’ thigh. He runs hot as an overstressed engine and it never fails to warm Echo up whenever he shoves his fingers and feet under Fives’ various available limbs; it’s a little ritual they’ve kept since Kamino, when Echo often felt cold in the sparse training halls.
But hiding himself under Fives’ thigh while he once again flirts with someone who isn’t him just… stings.
Fives glances back at him between sharing jibes with Jesse and hesitates, frowning at whatever Echo’s expression is doing. Okay? asks the tilt of his head. Echo lets his mouth slide into a smirk and quirks a brow in return.
Fives scoffs, flushes endearingly and turns away.
Echo’s happy for him. Really, he is—it’s not like he’s losing Fives. They’re partners at the end of the day, and Fives has made it clear how important Echo is to him.
But it’s—
Fives grips Echo’s ankle absently and his thumb tucks itself under the hem of Echo’s blacks. To Echo, the awareness of the contact tingles pleasantly.
It’s not the same.
He swallows and turns his attention back to his data pad. It’s fine, it’s nothing new. Even if there’s always someone else they’re still Echo and Fives, still the last of Domino, and Fives still loves him. And it’s more than enough.
A deep breath in, a slow four count, and Echo exhales all of the old aches from a futile hope that just won���t leave him in peace. Even if it follows him until he dies, it’s at least one last comfort to hold onto from a friend no one can take from him.

Echo may have made some poor life choices when asking Fives to race him down the beach. Sure, racing is one thing, but Echo is a little shit and absolutely cheated. Their adopted Charhound, Sparky, is nothing but happy with the game and will absolutely beat them both- and probably lay on them when Fives catches up with Echo and tackles him to the ground.

For the ship bingo: The Domino Squad. And any combos therein. n-n
I struggle to get into Hevy, Cutup or Droidbait because we see so little of them. So I'm going to keep this to Echo/Fives, who I have plenty of thoughts about.
Tumblr media
I absolutely ship Echo/Fives. They're soulmates. They're riduur. They're a pair. They come as a set. It's Echo and Fives. Fives and Echo. They're ARC partners and they're life partners. I especially love fics where both of them live and they reunite and then discover the chips and save the galaxy together.

Do you have any clone ships?
Most definitely! Thanks for the question, anon! Honestly, I'll happily read fic and enjoy art of any combination of clones, but some of my favorites are:
Fives/Echo: A perennial fave of mine. It's childhood friends to lovers, except all their other friends died and they only have each other as they enter the warfront. That kind of bond is unbreakable. And it hurts so good that Fives lost Echo and then got a lot more cynical about his place in life—and about authority—and ended up dying, only for Echo to come back from the dead so soon afterward and have to find out that Fives was gone. I think a lot about Echo finding out about Fives not being around anymore contributing to his decision to leave with the Bad Batch. (Post–Order 66 situations where Rex is added to the mix in some angsty, complicated way are also excellent.)
Crosshair/Hunter: Currently experiencing severe brainrot for this ship. I'm always enchanted by enemies-to-lovers dynamics, especially friends/lovers to enemies to lovers, and I find how different Crosshair and Hunter both are in TBB compared to how they were first introduced in TCW absolutely fascinating. I'm obsessed with the little glances they throw each other in the TBB pilot, which imply this closeness we never get to see enough of. And then Hunter leaving Crosshair behind and Crosshair feeling so deeply betrayed and both of their reactions being to run away from each other is so delicious and interesting to explore. And then after everything, the icing on the cake is Crosshair saving Omega's life on Kamino just as Hunter is about to risk his life saving her, then choosing to risk his life to warn the Batch about Omega knowing it's Hunter who's particularly obsessed with her safety.
Jesse/Kix: They're just a natural pair. I'm so happy we were treated to more of them and their dynamic in season 7 of TCW. I think a lot about how when Maul looked into Jesse's mind, he must have seen so much of Jesse's sorrow and confusion about Kix's disappearance. What if Kix was abducted while Jesse was away at ARC trooper training, and he returned to find him gone? And when Kix wakes up on the Crimson Corsair and finds out about Order 66 and the chips, how does he feel knowing he wasn't there to help Jesse and his brothers?
Waxer/Boil: Like Jesse/Kix, they're a natural pairing, and I always love when a grumpy person falls in love with someone with a bubbly personality. I think a lot about how proud Boil must have been when Waxer got promoted, and then what he must feel after Umbara, when he can't find Waxer and then has to reckon with the fact that he was killed by a fellow brother.
Tup/Dogma: Whether it's Dogma pining while Tup falls for Fives, or Tup interacting with Dogma after the events on Umbara, or Dogma letting Tup get away with stuff he disapproves of, or Tup being defensive when Dogma is being bullied, or Tup getting with Fives after Dogma is taken away, or Dogma in prison finding out what happened to Tup, I love it all.
Tech/Wrecker: The TBB S2 finale really sold this for me. Wrecker's agony when Tech is in danger and when he realizes what he's about to do is so painful. And then the way he's shown crying and just sitting quietly by himself afterward... He reacts in a much rawer way than anyone else. I also like how they bicker in such a familiar way and how Wrecker is shown to be the most physically affectionate with Tech, always slapping him on the back and nudging him in the shoulder, and how Tech often starts what are clearly old arguments with him. They just feel lived in and Established Relationship™, in a way I like.
I'm just realizing these ships kind of all have tragic endings where the pairs are separated, huh... I'm an angst fiend, but I swear I like when the clones get to be happy together, too!

there you are
Summary:
Echo lets his gaze run over him. “You left.”
Recent AAR, not the Citadel. Fives prays he’s not talking about the Citadel, even if he won’t blame Echo for it.
Fives stands to his feet, wiping his hands with a rag he’s pulled from his back pocket. “You were busy with your team. I didn’t want to intrude.”
“You’re my team,” Echo doesn’t move, doesn’t seem to realise the words alone are another blow to his chest. And then, “Rex told me you were dead.”
echofives. canon divergence. reunions. 2k+ words. rated T.
Based on 50 A Softer World Prompts.
I have loved you since. But when the new patch gets scratched, there you are underneath. (My heart is layers of scar.)
“The kid’s got guts.”
There are three conditions to survival.
Relentless dodging; complete and utter faith in staying alive; and going through the possibility that you might die without fulfilling the moral obligation of a decent human being, and thus keeping your distress under a tight lid while also revving your drive to make sure you fulfill that obligation.
Which, in Fives’s case, is to reveal that the person who you thought was supposed to protect the people actually isn’t, and he’s sitting on that throne with his filthy claws deep in the people’s innards and playing war against each other.
“She does,” Echo says after a weighted pause, clearly caught off guard by how Fives manages to pinpoint just who’s standing at his sprawled feet while he’s lodged under his ship. As if Fives wouldn’t know. As if the years would make him forget. “Nothing surprising there.”

cabezadeperro's year in review (fic version)
Hi, hello! It's the last day of the year, and what a year 2023 has been. I moved to a different continent in Fall 2022, but I somehow found the time to keep writing and posting Star Wars fanfiction for the fourth year in a row.
These are some of my favourite fics I posted this year. I didn't write as much or as often as I'd like, but I am pretty proud of some of my work, so. Here it is!
Also, I'm very bad at replying to comments but thanks so much to all of you who take the time and leave one. I know my stuff is very often niche and kind of weird, so if you clicked and read and enjoyed one of my fics this year: I appreciate it a lot. Thank you so much.
dead men walking | E | Commander Cody/Obi-Wan Kenobi | 63k
It was supposed to be an easy job: prisoner transports are always quick money. Three years after waking up from cryo, Cody—formerly known as ICC-2224—finds himself working as a bounty hunter for one of the guilds. He has a body that doesn’t feel his, a memory full of holes, and little else. When the man he’s guarding escapes, Cody finds himself following one Obi-Wan Kenobi across a war-torn galaxy and into the most dangerous job of all: stealing a mysterious artifact from the heart of the New Republic.
This was my fic for the 2022 Codywan Big Bang. It was Very hard to write and the reason I decided to stop participating in events for the rest of 2023. I kind of hate it, but I'm also pretty proud of it (because I finished despite it all, and also I think it's pretty good).
You'll like it if: you enjoy good artwork (cowboy's illustration of Cody in bed is probably one of my favourite pieces of Cody fanart, and I love punk's cover an absurd amount), weird AUs, cyberpunk, and being depressed.
fortunate son | M | Commander Cody/Obi-Wan Kenobi, Commander Cody/Commander Fox, Commander Cody & Captain Rex | 12k
On change.
This was one of those fics I started in 2022 and finished in 2023. It's my take of the No Order 66 trope that attempts to deal with ideas of change and growing and adapting to new places, new people, and new sides of people you've known for a while. (Gee, I wonder why I wrote this fic the year I moved across the world.)
I'm also really proud of the codyfox prequel I published the other day, secant, but I think this one is more--ambitious?
You'll like it if: you like studying Cody like the bug and complicated relationships, and would like to read a slightly different take on the Fix-It/No Order 66 trope.
sulphur and tea | M | Obi-Wan Kenobi/Jango Fett | 1.8K
They say Jango Fett fell in battle, that the thing that walks and fights and wears his beskar is something else. Obi-Wan knows better.
There are a few games I get very obsessed with every now and then, and one of them is Ghost of Tsushima. This fic is a very vague adaptation of the concept behind the main character of those games, applied to Jango. I had A Lot of fun writing it though it fought me quite a bit, and it allowed me to play with one of the most popular kenfetti tropes from a different perspective. It's one of those fics that I'd like to write a sequel/prequel/spin-off to sometime.
You'll like it if: you like whump (especifically Jango whump) and What Ifs about the Mandalorian Civil War and the first years of Anakin's padawanship.
choosing to be chosen | E | ARC Trooper Echo/ARC Trooper Fives | 6.6k
ARC troopers always work in pairs.
I wrote this as a gift for a friend who wrote what's probably my favourite Echo/Fives fic ever (which I just remembered was also a gift for me lmao). I don't write this ship as much or as often as I'd like, but I'm very happy about how this one turned out--I think I nailed why I find this relationship so compelling (the inevitable tragedy, the fact that they keep choosing each other, the fact that they cannot help but choose each other). I also had a lot of fun writing Fives! He's such a messed up, interesting little dude.
You'll like it if: you enjoy intense relationships, sexual and romantic tension, baby's first attempt at milwank, Fives being clever and in love and just that tiny bit manipulative.
the price of blood | T | Commander Cody/Obi-Wan Kenobi | 13.8k
A year and a half after the beginning of Cody and Rex's rebellion, Palpatine reaches out to Kenobi: he wants to talk to him, and he doesn't want Cody to be there. It goes as well as expected.
This is one of those fics that get out of hand. I wrote it because someone left an ask saying they loved the first part of what is now a series (it's not actually a series on AO3; I was planning to make it one but I forgor. as I do.) I really love fantasy and all its subgenres and I don't write it as much as I'd like, so it was the perfect chance to go ham and do a bit of of worldbuilding for fun. I'm not super happy with the ending, but I really like everything else, so.
You'll like it if: you like low fantasy, the environmental storytelling approach to fantasy worldbuilding, complicated relationships and characters keeping secrets. Oh, and Cody whump.
five times cody and rex shared a bed and one time they wished they could | T | Commander Cody/Captain Rex | 4.7k
Cody and Rex throughout the war.
This fic is very much what it says on the tin: Cody and Rex from when they first meet each other, through the war and their slow loss of trust in each other, until they meet again after the war ends. This format of fic is very popular for a reason, what can I say. I really enjoyed writing it, and I think I did a pretty good job portraying their potential relationship as I see it through a bunch of scenes.
You'll like it if: you like bittersweet endings, canon-adjacent fic, and Cody and Rex being insane about each other.
And that's it! Thanks for reading (again), and I hope you have a great NYE and a great 2024--I think we all fucking deserve it.

Echo5 and 5, of course! 💖
5. we rented a place together with our friend group for vacation, but there are only double beds in every room and everyone else already found a sleeping partner
“I guess this is us,” Echo says.
He drops his duffel at his feet and immediately turns his attention to the balcony doors, beyond which they can see the forest stretching far above into the mountains they’re staying on.
Fives follows, leaving his things by the wardrobe and snooping about the room. He’s drawn, inevitably, to the large bed in the middle that they’re supposed to share, and the somewhat hysterical humour that rises when he notes how pristine and unassuming its been made up to look.
“So,” he asks, possibly a touch too forced on the casual tone, “which side do you want? I usually take the right.”
“Whichever,” Echo replies, and fuck, Fives wishes he could be as cool as him right now, and not freaking the hell out like a teenager.
“Cool,” he says instead. He examines the magazines on the coffee table for a short moment before flipping down on the sofa to stare at the side of Echo’s face, backlit by the bright sunshine outside. “Do all the rooms have a view like this?”
Echo turns back around, flashes Fives a smile and then starts rooting through his bag. “Only Jesse and Kix next door. I think we got the best room in the house, actually.”
“Well, as long as we don’t end up having to listen to them have sex or whatever,” Fives points out cheekily. He’s very lucky he doesn’t blush, because now all he can think about is how to get revenge if they do, and his only good idea is based in his many, and entirely inappropriate fantasies involving his best friend.
With whom their entire friend group has made him sleep with, platonically, for a week. Tup had even had the gall to laugh at him.
Echo snorts. “If we do, I’m going to make it so we leave them behind in the woods or something. I’ve had enough of them to last me the rest of my life.”
Fives laughs and starts up a mental mantra of don’t think about it, do not think about it, seriously don’t think about just don’t. It doesn’t work very well, but he keeps trying all the same.
“Ah, got it,” Echo says then, finally retrieving his swimming shorts from his bag. He grins at Fives again—and how someone can be so cute and so hot at the same time truly escapes him—and waves the trunks in his direction. “Come on, slow poke. Rex said we had ten minutes or they’d leave us behind.”
Fives is well, truly, and thoroughly fucked.
“All right, all right,” he mutters, coming to this understanding in a moment perfect clarity, and hurries to get his towel.
If he survives this week without firstly making a complete fool of himself, nor secondly blurting out some kind of embarrassing confession at the worst time just like an idiot, Jesse owes him at least three drinks. And so does Tup. And Tano. And probably Rex too.
Fives really, really hates (loves) his friends.

Echo trusts Fives with his life, but he just hopes he has a leg left after he's done. 'XD (He does a great job btw)

For the ship bingo Echo/Fives?
I blurred out the ones I don't like for anyone
Now I know when you did it this way you later "corrected" it but I'm doing it this way because I want to.
