Cody: I cut my finger
Obi-wan: I can kiss it so it'll get better
Cody: Does it work?
Obi-wan: Yeah the healers used to do it when I was a kid
*later that day*
Cody: I need you to punch me in the mouth
Wolffe: Fucking finally
My favorite Cody&Ahsoka dynamic is when Cody genuinely likes Ahsoka and fucking hates Anakin.
I love the idea of Marshall Commander Cody having to suffer through the long year of the clone wars that Anakin was still a padawan under General Kenobi. Having to deal with Anakin's insaburdinate over dramatic ass every force forsaken day.
Never able to have a single one of his meticulously coordinated plans actually get executed properly because inevitably Skywalker would fuck it up by doing what ever the hell he wants to do. And not even bother to let anyone else know when he was doing it.
And Cody is so damn relieved when he's promoted and finally out if the 212th. But he's still not quite gone because he's always freaking there. With the 501st, still getting in the way.
But when Ahsoka shows up. Not only is she actually intelligent, but she's 1000% down with conspiring to undermine her master. And after way too long dealing with Skywalker's "Tactics" Cody finally has some direct sway within the 501st. Bc he has an inside man.
Anakin walks out if a mission debrief after spewing the most batshit nonsense that Cody has ever heard in his short (but getting longer every fucking day) life. And Cody turns to Ahsoka who's already grinning at him like a lothcat about to knock a glass off the counter.
"So what are we actually doing?"
Then Cody gets to pull up his proper holodiagrams and coordinate at least her half of the mission and Ahsoka's just stoked that someone is actually taking the time to sit down and teach her actually military tactical movements. The kind that the clones have studied for years.
And anytime Anakin bitches about them not following the plan Ahsoka hits him with his own lines. "Well made plans rarely last past first contact, Master." or "I followed the plan. Up until the circumstances changed." or "We needed a more aggressive touch."
The same passive-aggressive smug bullshit Cody had to put up with during Anakin's exceedingly long year as a commander.
And by the end of the war Ahsoka has a bonkers mix of studiously acquired historical military education, and the half-outlined manic planning patterns of Anakin Skywalker. Which is why she's basically untouchable in all combat scenarios.
Because no matter how much you know about militant tactics she probably knows more. And if she doesn't she will just say fuck it and resort to some Skywalker bullshit.
I’ve never written a single fucking fanfic, never even had the fucking inkling or desire to do so, I came up with FOUR FUCKING PROMPTS starting with ONE fucking song, and then my brain just went haywire after that and I’m fucking MAD about it, I don’t have the goddamn ENERGY for all this creativity nor the talent this isn’t fair, but goddamn it now I gotta fucking do it cuz otherwise I can’t read it FUCK

💛 ...when you open your eyes again...after your ship crashed? later...? ...you're someplace other than the dune you "landed" in, and with a small stack of pillows under your head.
💛 other than the fact that you're lying flat upon a bedroll with a thick bandage around your head, though...nothing else about you seems to have been "tampered with" while you were knocked out.
💛 in fact...it's almost as though your rescuer knew to be respectful to you until you woke up, if not also every minute after.
💛 that's when you hear an all-too-familiar voice speak quietly from the shadows, a voice you let yourself believe that you would never hear again.
💛 "Hello there."
💛 it's enough to get you to throw yourself backward against the wall, if not also to force you to sit on your own hands so that you don't do THAT THING a second time.
💛 THAT THING, after all, destroyed the Jetii without so much as a second thought, so...if you can delay it as long as you can, give your General time to escape again--
💛 "--It wasn't you, Commander."
💛 ...this is the precise moment that you not only freeze where you sit, but you also feel dismay over what should be happening again, but isn't.
💛 why...?!
💛 that's when he feels it's safe enough to come out of the shadows, looking a little bit older and worse for wear...but, thank the Force, very much alive.
💛 "I can tell you...well, as much as I possibly can, Commander, but please. Whatever you do afterward, wherever you go...stop blaming yourself."
💛 after an awkward moment of silence, silence where you barely manage a small nod in the middle of what seems like ten thousand thoughts with a million more on the way...he welcomes you home.
💛 in other words, he doesn't hesitate to press his forehead against yours, a sign of affection from both the culture that arranged your birth and the one that sustains it now.
💛 perhaps now, after so long...you can finally allow yourself to rest.
Rex, texting Cody: Cody? There's a huge moth in the barracks. Can you get it please? Please I'm going to cry
Rex: Cody?
Cody: Cody is dead. You're next. Love moth
