Dustin Rhodes doesn't understand why Billy Gunn and Christian get all the twinks, and then someone comes along to choose him instead.

Asking

~

“Why are you pouting?”

Dustin looks up. “Sorry, you’re asking why someone is pouting?”

“I don’t pout!” Austin leans against the door frame. “Why do you look miserable?”

Dustin shrugs. “No reason.”

“There’s gotta be a reason,” Austin says. “Nobody like you needs to be miserable.”

Dustin raises an eyebrow. Austin, for some reason, feels caught. “Like me?”

“A legend in the business,” Austin clarifies, and he’s not why he’s feeling a little overheated. “You know how good your Canadian Destroyers are. So what’s the deal?”

“If you have to know,” Dustin says, unlacing his boots. He doesn’t meet Austin’s eyes. “I’m lonely, okay?”

“Lonely?”

He nods, throwing his boot across the room. “Christian had Perry and now he’s got Nick Wayne,” Dustin says, and he really looks sad about it. “Cope’s got Griff –”

“He doesn’t have him, not yet,” Austin says. Griff had been complaining about how Copeland was being careful with him or something the week before.

Dustin raises an eyebrow. “Yet. It’ll be a couple days, tops. Billy’s got two cute young things on his arm.”

Austin wrinkles his nose. “Please don’t talk about my dad that way.”

“Hell,” Dustin says, like Austin hadn’t said anything, “even Taz has something going on with RJ.”

“He does?!”

Dustin blanches. “Don’t tell anybody that. I walked in on them a little while ago. But you get the point. Hell, even my brother had Max for a while, and now Max has that thing with Cole and Joe.”

“I’m pretty sure neither of those are romantic,” Austin says. “If it helps.”

Dustin smiles up at him, his makeup a bit smeared and his face a little world weary. “It kind of does, but it doesn’t change that nobody chose me, you know?” He plays with the hem of his gear shirt. His hands are big. “Don’t worry about it, kid. I’m just an old man with regrets.” His smile turns sad, and it sends an ache through Austin he didn’t know himself capable of feeling.

Dustin’s technically not as old as his dad, Austin muses. He’s younger.

Austin sits down next to Dustin on the steps. “You know,” he says, kicking at the wrestling boot still on Dustin’s foot, “there’s a chance people don’t know you want them to choose you.”

Dustin scoffs. “Yeah? Well nobody’s asked.”

Austin tries to steel up more confidence than he’s feeling. “What if I’m asking?”

The air is solid for a second as Austin turns to him, waiting.

“I knew your Dad when I was your age,” Dustin says.

Austin shrugs. “And? You’re a different man now.” He licks his lips. “I’m a man now.”

Dustin exhales, throwing his head back. “Austin.”

“Dustin,” Austin whispers. The name tastes good on his lips. “What if I’m asking.”

Dustin looks at him. Really looks at him. Austin remembers photos of Gold Dust, juxtaposing with the guy who was one of his dad’s good friends. Remembers looking, as a kid, and knowing he shouldn’t. Remembers looking as an adult, and knowing he’d never get a response.

He’s getting a response now. Dustin is studying his face. “You’re not kidding,” Dustin murmurs. He reaches out and rests a hand on Austin’s cheek. “How long?”

Austin shrugs. “Don’t know. Since I came here, at least.”

“This is a bad idea,” Dustin says, and it’s more to himself. He leans in. Austin’s heart is racing.

His dad might kill both of them, and why does that make it more exciting?

Dustin kisses him softly to the point where it’s not enough. Austin presses in closer, opens his mouth, waits.

And finally, finally, Dustin’s lips move against him. He puts a hand on Austin’s waist, pulls him in a little closer so their thighs bump, and Austin’s brain short circuits. His dad is going to lose it. Colten won’t leave him alone about it.

Austin leans in closer. And kisses back.

Now I feel really bad for Scott/Kira/Theo please ?

"You really don't," Kira says, arms crossed.

Theo shrugs. "It's not my fault you didn't check to see if I'd made plans."

"You never make plans for date night!"

"This time I did, and face it, you're just made because mine is better."

The fact that he's right, just makes it all the more infuriating.

Especially when Scott is every bit as excited about box seats at a professional lacrosse game as she would expect. She crumples the three movie tickets she'd purchased into a little ball and shoves them in her pocket.

Scott is vibrating with happiness while they ride to the stadium. Theo rides behind Scott on his bike while she rides her own. Watching Scott's face radiate pure joy as the game starts, she can't even blame Theo for not really feeling bad. They can see a movie whenever.

(Later, Scott finds the tickets all crumpled up. He strokes Kira's wrist with his thumb, while Theo snores beside them, in bed. He kisses Kira's palm and says he'd love to go the movies any time and that any activity for date night is special, as long as they're together.)

(If she and Theo enjoy a very violent sparring session when he smugly tells her "i told you mine was better", well, Scott doesn't always have to know everything.)

[durotoswrites]

Part 3 of 3 of the ask from @friendofbats !

This is going to be interesting.  I’ve always thought of them as good friends, but I guess it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch of the imagination for their chemistry to work romantically.  This is actually really cute!

Gotz x Harris

SEND ME A SHIP and I’ll tell you: Who said “I love you” first

Oooh, again, this is tough.  Gotz is a widower who is still grieving, and Harris went through unrequited love with Aja.  I can see Harris confessing and immediately being horrified that he won’t be worthy to take Gotz’s wife’s place and he’ll be worried he’ll be rejected just like Aja did to him.  But Gotz would explain isn’t looking to “replace” his late wife - Harris also has a place in his heart, and he loves him, too.  He’s ready to move forward in life - forward with Harris.

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background

Gotz would find that kind of thing sappy, although the idea might make him blush.  Harris might have a photo of the two of them on his phone, though, that he checks throughout the day. ^-^

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror

Neither.  Gotz would just wipe it away in his half-awake stupor anyway as he got ready for the day, lol.

Who buys the other cheesy gifts

Okay, I can see Harris getting something cute for Gotz.  Maybe a new axe with something cute engraved in the handle.  I can imagine Gotz being really touched by this. <3

Who initiated the first kiss

Gotz.  Harris wouldn’t want to make the first move physically because he’d be afraid of stepping over boundaries regarding Gotz’s late wife.  I imagine there being a situation where Harris does something really sweet and heartfelt for him and Gotz just gives him a big hug and kisses him without thinking.  It takes him a few moments to realize what he’s done, and they’re both blushing and giggly and happy.

Who kisses the other awake in the morning

Harris.  I don’t picture Gotz as a morning person, and he’s been alone for so long that he’d have to get used to other people being in the house.

Who starts tickle fights

There are no tickle fights in this relationship.  I could see them “accidentally” bumping past one another, though.

Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower

I feel like they'd naturally just ask each other.  I imagine them using the hot springs a lot, so they just join.  The washing off and rinsing beforehand, though… I can imagine them being a little shy doing that around each other after their relationship starts, but neither of them make a big deal out of it, because I feel like that’s something they would’ve done regularly as friends.

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch

Harris, for sure!  I can imagine him picking up something from Doug’s and stopping by in the afternoon to make sure Gotz remembers to eat.  I headcanon that that’s what they’re doing anyway in game when he’s hanging out over there in the afternoons.

Who was nervous and shy on the first date

Both.  I feel like their first date would be a hike in the woods up the mountain trail, with neither of them really knowing what to say.  They’d take in the scenery and eventually see something that acts as an icebreaker, like a squirrel or bird, and then they’d naturally open up to one another.

Who kills/takes out the spiders

They both take them outside with no fuss.

Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk

Both.  Harris is pretty loose-lipped in the bar in HM64, and I can see him being the same way in Mineral Town.  I don’t imagine Gotz going out to drink much, but maybe he joins Harris at the bar after they start dating.  I imagine Gotz as being quite the romantic when he was married, so I can easily see him gushing about Harris after a few drinks.

Thank you for your patience on these asks!  I had a lot of fun doing them, and it was fun to think of the unique pairings.  I love rarepairs! <3

Send me a ship ask game!

#ask box games #ask box replies #ship ask game #friendofbats #harvest moon #friends of mineral town #more friends of mineral town #fomt #mfomt #back to nature #hm btn #harvest moon harris #hm harris #hm gotz #harvest moon gotz #harris x gotz #gotz x harris #rarepair alert! #thank you for playing! <3

Haha rarepair backstory

Pairing: kazuichi/natsumi(main)

fuyuhiko/hajime(mention)

(Flashback)(Hope peak academy)

Kazuichi pov

I was staring at the reserve course area I wanted to see my friend's sister natsumi I bumped into her at the fountain running after someone she and me hang out for a while I wanted to see her again when I enter the room and I couldn't believe my eyes,fuyuhiko my friend looked like he just beaten up someone everyone in the room was far away and far away and a guy with brunette hair was standing behind "now who's next?" He said everyone stood back from him "thank you fuyuhiko" the brunette said hugging him and I think fuyuhiko blushed while I was overhearing everything

"Hey kazuichi what are you doing here?" It was natsumi "gah!" I jumped which caught the brunette and fuyuhiko's attention "kaz-kun?!"

I was sweating nervously “don't worry big bro he's with me” I took out a big sigh, apparently the boy fuyuhiko was with was hajime nice guy I see fuyuhiko trying to go see me every chance he got and I'm glad fuyuhiko doesn't know I kinda like his sister

…

But…. I think natsumi likes hajime pftt really?! I see them talking and laughing and hajime frequently goes to natsumi’s place and it's annoying…but why? Do I like her? I thought I like Sonia so why?

….

Recently I have been trying to hang out with natsumi even more by asking to hang out with her and yea we hit it off “hey tell me…”

“Tell you what?”

“if your friend had a crush on someone and you don't know how to help them, what do you do?”

“What why?”

“Just asking

“Well….uhh” why do I think she's referring to herself “I think they show each other affection and at least hang out”

“Thanks dude” she fist bump me, is her friend hajime? Does she like hajime?! No way! Hajime has a clear crush on fuyuhiko! He doesn't deserve her- Oh….yep I like her

….

After some time I realized natsumi watched from afar while hajime and fuyuhiko hung out and yep hajime loves fuyuhiko, someone like her doesn't deserve this! She doesn't deserve the same treatment as mine! Hm..y'know what I'm going to treat her to a date without her know

…

I asked her to go with me to my favorite amusement park as a kid phoenix wonderland we had a lot of fun on the ferris wheel, playing random games with each other I even got her a penguin plus hehe on the train I was going to take her home I decided to ask her something

“Hey natty”

“Yea?”

“Do you like hajime”

“Nah he's bi with a heavy lean on guys and plus I liked someone totally different”

I was shocked a bit

“Who?”

“He's actually from the main course he's very funny and super kind I met him by luck and I'm glad he's my friend”

huh sounds like me

“Y'know I actually been trying to get those two together it's been 2 months and they are so In Love fufu” yea they pretty are

“Thanks for taking me out here I barely have any friends to talk or hang out with you”

“You're welcome, you're my friend right?”

“i wish we were more than friends” she mutter something I couldn't fully hear, she hugged me as I waved goodbye I smiled until I saw fuyuhiko staring at the window I laughed nervously as I walked away from the manor

….

One day I tried texting natsumi that next week we had a knights of white play and we want 5 reserve course students “oh so that's why hajime got tackle the other day”

“Wait he got tackled?”

“Yep he's the first pick courtesy of chiaki and fuyuhiko mostly fuyuhiko”

“So will you join?”

Sure fufu I want to spend more time with you!

My heart kinda made a backflip when she texted that “good!”(I'm planning to make a fuyuhiko and hajime pov after the knights of white chapter)(plus this rarepair should be called rare rarepair I'm i right?)

Bonus 1: Kazuichi and Natsumi were out of a bout in the neighborhood it was pouring rain,and Natsumi's head was laying on Kazuichi's lap. “It's nice of you to stay here with me y'know?”

“Yea not like my other classmates wanted to hang out with me

“They're assholes to be quite honest” natsumi's mutter “especially that princess”

“I don't like her anymore’

“I'm glad you did, someone like you don't deserve that type of treatment “

I stroke her hair “I'm glad”

New rarepair <3

[antianakin]

Antianakin's Anti-Anakin/Pro-Jedi Fic Rec List

The theme for this rec list is fics that either center on Anakin getting some consequences for his actions or are just generally more critical towards Anakin as a character. Please note that this means these fics will also be critical towards most Anakin ships, most notably Anidala and Obikin.

This list is dedicated to all of the people who have been sending me messages asking for fic recs over the last several months, there's clearly a market for fics that aren't kind towards Anakin.

A lot of these fics take things like the Tusken massacre, Order 66, and Anakin's treatment of Padme, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Rex very seriously. Please take that as a warning if any of those things might be triggering, and keep an eye on the tags for all of the fics included here just in case.

Here are the categories!

Anakin/Consequences: Anakin experiences consequences for his actions in some way shape or form, but doesn't die.

Spoiler Alert, He Doesn't Make It: Anakin experiences the specific consequence of dying by the end of the story, usually at the hands of someone he's hurt.

The Jedi Deserve Better: There's a bigger focus on the Jedi recovering, Jedi culture, or the Jedi being philosophically right than there is on anything specifically "anti Anakin" as such, but the story is still critical of Anakin's beliefs and/or behavior.

Helpful terms:

Unfinished: Any fic that is marked as incomplete, or a series where the fic(s) in it are still incomplete and cannot stand alone

Ongoing: Any series marked as incomplete, but the fics in it are marked as complete or can stand alone as they are

There is no specific order to this. I tried to group fics from one specific author together, but other than that, I didn't place anything in any specific position for a reason.

This is not an exhaustive list of good anti-Anakin fics that exist, obviously. If your fic or your favorite fic isn't on this list, please feel free to rec it yourself in the notes, leave a reply or reblog with a link. I'm happy to read more anti-Anakin fic, especially if it's very Pro-Jedi!

One final reminder: NOTHING IN THIS LIST IS ANAKIN FRIENDLY! If that's going to bother you to read, please just skip this entire list, it's not for you.

Anakin/Consequences:

and the tide rises, the tide falls series by @blackkatmagic (unfinished, 119k): When Anakin's actions with the Tuskens on Tatooine become known a few months into the Clone War, Agen Kolar comes in to temporarily take over the 501st while Anakin is sent back to Coruscant to face the Council. I cannot recommend this fic enough. This is the fic that introduced me to Agen Kolar as a real character (as opposed to just one of the random Jedi who immediately die going up against Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith) and now he's one of my favorite Jedi of all time. Agen is such a beautiful character and his relationship to his identity as a Jedi gives me just about every feeling I think I've ever felt in my life and the development of his relationships with Rex, Kix, and Ahsoka as the fic continues is such a well-written slow burn. I'd recommend reading more of blackkat's works just in general, too, because they're pretty much all Pro-Jedi and have a delightful tendency to focus on more niche Jedi and clone characters and rarepair ships if you're interested in that.

Commander Fox's Ultimate Bucket List by @blackkatmagic (27k): Fox is sent back in time, immediately murders Palpatine, and surprisingly nothing but good things follow so he's got plenty of time now to get to the other things on his bucket list, including but not limited to: murdering Count Dooku, murdering Anakin Skywalker, saving Senator Amidala from her atrocious taste in men, and seducing Mace Windu. This fic is BLISTERINGLY funny, Fox's very dry point of view on things and readiness to shoot Anakin at literally any moment literally had me struggling to not laugh out loud at work. This is also an INCREDIBLY pro-Mace Windu fic, with all of the clones, for once, in love with Mace Windu instead of the more popular suspects. It's what he deserves, and Fox agrees.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Time Travelers by @blackkatmagic (unfinished, 78k): Fives is stuck in a time loop where he tries to stop Order 66 from happening and his latest plan is to kidnap Mace Windu for his own protection because he's the only person capable of defeating Palpatine. Fives' opinion of Anakin is now INCREDIBLY low, and the constant comparisons to Mace and how much better Mace is, are deeply satisfying. Fives' immense distress and somewhat manic passion don't take away from just HOW competent Fives is, and I really love getting to see a depiction of him that really allows him to fully be both at once and neither one takes away from the other. I love how his relationship to Mace develops from Fives' initial desperation into something so trusting and passionate through difficult circumstances.

in search of a sky for smoke to rise to by @blackkatmagic (7k): Padme has to go on the run after reporting Anakin's massacre of the Tuskens to the Jedi in fear of Anakin's rage. She lands on Sundari to try to hide there and meets with Arla Fett who sparks her interest. Padme gets to be a total BAMF in this which is always fun, and I LOVED Arla in this so so much!

sanguine series by @glimmerglanger (157.5k) (EDIT: this AO3 account was deleted several months after I made this list and so the link below is now broken. I am leaving this series in regardless, as a record of the incredible work glimmerglanger did and as a reminder of the consequences of online harassment): Obi-Wan is a vampire in an AU where vampires exist in the GFFA and this changes some things. The ramifications of what it means to be a vampire in this AU and the biases and prejudices that Obi-Wan has to deal with are so interesting from a worldbuilding standpoint. The way Anakin's relationship with Obi-Wan CHANGES because of it is also an interesting thing to see develop in this series.

uncomfortable by @panther-os (1k): When Anakin won't respect Padme's boundaries in the beginning of Attack of the Clones, Padme requests a different bodyguard from the Jedi. Short and sweet and removes the rather unfortunate "yes means no" theme that taints Padme's storyline in Attack of the Clones.

Slices of Happiness series by @feybarn (unfinished, 40k): No Order 66 AU where Obi-Wan takes a short sabbatical after the war to handle his mental health and is joined by some of the clones before he returns to the Temple. It is, as the title of the series says, mostly just little slices of stories as the clones and Jedi heal and reconnect after the war. There's a large emphasis on Obi-Wan healing from Anakin's rejection of the Jedi and having to come to terms with his relationship with Anakin having perhaps been less healthy than he'd realized and learning to enforce healthier boundaries when Anakin gets entitled and selfish.

Wasted Training by @thesecondbatgirl (700): Obi-Wan finds out about Anakin's "training" for Ahsoka from TOTJ. Very short but OH so satisfying to see someone react appropriately to this.

Liberosis by Be_Right_Back (2k): In a No Order 66 AU, Anakin's secret marriage comes to light and the Council asks Anakin to make a choice. This one is a tad softer on the "anti Anakin" aspect of it, but the Jedi are portrayed as entirely within their rights to make Anakin choose which life he wants to live.

Stay by @amukmuk (2k): Commander Thorn has been helping Padme out in a No Order 66 AU as Padme's been dealing with her divorce from Anakin, and Padme finally comes to a decision about her feelings. I am an unrepentant Thornidala shipper, and as many problems as I tend to have with the way Padme's written and the implications about her as a character because of that, I also have a nostalgic attachment to her and wish she could just... have a happier healthier relationship with someone who ACTUALLY loves her and respects her. I would take an entire series of this AU, I'd read a longfic of this AU, but I will also happily accept this short sweet little peek into this AU and let my daydreams do the rest of the work.

The Burden of Secrets by @jedi-order-apologist (9k): In the aftermath of the Deception arc, Ahsoka discovers the truth about the Tusken massacre and confronts Anakin about it. This one is a little lighter on the "anti Anakin" elements, but his choices on Tatooine are very much called out for the horror that they are, as are Padme's for hiding it. The fic also delves a little bit into the Rako Hardeen arc, Obi-Wan's choices in it, and Anakin's reactions to it and how appropriate they are.

Consumed by Greed by virdant (900): Obi-Wan travels back in time to the beginning of Anakin's apprenticeship and tries everything to try to keep Anakin from joining the Sith, and fails until he comes to a crucial understanding about Anakin as a person. The concept of this is absolutely heart-wrenching, thinking about Obi-Wan going back over and over, changing everything about himself and the Jedi in an attempt to save Anakin, only to finally realize that the problem lies in who Anakin is at his heart, and he can't change that. The ending is a gutpunch, but it feels so absolutely true, too.

Justice by virdant (1k): Padme makes a different choice at the end of AOTC and decides to report Anakin's crimes on Tatooine to Obi-Wan instead of marrying Anakin. Obi-Wan confronts Anakin about what he's done in the aftermath and forces him to face the consequences of the choice he made. I really like that the concept here isn't just that Anakin gets kicked out of the Jedi and sort-of set loose upon the galaxy, but that either the Council or Obi-Wan decided Anakin also needed to face reparations ON TATOOINE, from the Tuskens themselves, and that Obi-Wan plans to ensure that it happens. Anakin cannot be a Jedi until he makes as many amends for that as he can, until he recognizes the truth of what he's done and accepts the responsibility for it, and even then there's no guarantee he could be a Jedi afterwards. Either way, the Jedi are not not the only people Anakin has hurt, and not the only people with the right to ask for reparations from Anakin.

The Cost by luvewan (5k): Anakin jumps off the gunship after Padme in Attack of the Clones and deals (badly) with the fatal consequences of that choice when Obi-Wan dies at Dooku's hand before Yoda can show up. So this has been a favorite of mine for just about as long as I can remember, predominantly because of just how tragic it is and the very realistic consequences of the choice Anakin makes here. This fic was written before Revenge of the Sith had come out, so none of the choices Anakin makes in that film are taken into account, but the accuracy with which Anakin absolutely unravels and devolves into darkness because he lets his guilt turn into anger that he turns on other people in the name of justice feels so immensely in character. Seeing it all happen from Padme's point of view as she watches Anakin's descent, knowing she's the reason it happened in the first place, is so devastatingly beautiful.

Spoiler Alert, He Doesn't Make It:

@glimmerglanger's fics are getting an entire section dedicated to them again. I'd honestly just recommend reading all of glimmerglanger's work, but here's some fics that specifically showcase (deadly) consequences to Anakin below (EDIT: this AO3 account was deleted several months after I made this list and so all of the links below are now broken. I am leaving this section in regardless, as a record of the incredible work glimmerglanger did and as a reminder of the consequences of online harassment):

A Treatise on Breaking and Repairs (60k): Anakin captures Obi-Wan shortly after Revenge of the Sith and it goes very badly for Obi-Wan. This shit's dark, y'all, and things get way worse before they get better, please mind the tags, there's a reason the series is labeled the oof!au. That being said, this fic is sort-of the peak example of what I want out of a really good hurt/comfort story, where both halves of that are equally emphasized.

But What We Make series (ongoing, 125.5k): Cody from post-Return of the Jedi travels back in time to just before Order 66 and this changes some things. My favorite part of this series (so far) is the way Obi-Wan, future-Cody, and present-Cody are all forced to come to terms with their respective traumas and relationships to each other and none of them are handling it perfectly, but none of them are treated as more or less important than the others either.

Convergence Zones (115.5k): A sort-of modern day fantasy Jedi AU where the clones are made of clay and brought to life via magic. It's a little hard to explain in like 20 words or less just read it, it's so great. The collaboration between the clones and Jedi in this is so sweet, and the worldbuilding of the "clones" in this verse is really good.

Haunt Me, Then (31k): Post Order 66, all the surviving clones can see their Jedi as Force ghosts except Cody and the 212th, and when Cody's chip breaks early he helps start a revolution to gain justice for their Jedi. Cody's going through it in this one, too, and things get pretty dark, but this is another really great catharsis fic if you're in the mood for that.

Make Your Bed (Lie in It) (58k): Cody and Obi-Wan share a bunk during the war and this changes some things. I love all the ways in which this AU moves events just SLIGHTLY to the left and then the butterfly effect impact afterwards. The Cody and Obi-Wan relationship development is also just impeccable.

Natural Wonders (56k): Shapeshifter modern AU with nature photographer Cody and park ranger Obi-Wan and a murder mystery they solve together. There's some really cool facts about Yellowstone National Park in this fic as a delightful bonus to the sweet relationshippy stuff and the fun murder mystery storyline.

Greater Than Your Hoarded Gold series by Quietbang (ongoing, 96k): Anakin doesn't burn on Mustafar AU where there is a different kind of rebellion in the galaxy post Order 66. This author focused in on and centered the Jewish elements to the Jedi and brought in more Jewish culture to the Jedi, which is so interesting to read. The shifting perspectives, including totally outside perspectives, on the Jedi and the situation in the galaxy at large, makes for a really cool story with some incredible worldbuilding.

Unmasked by @schizo-fractured (17k): Footage of the Temple during Order 66 is released and this causes a series of changes in the galaxy as they confront what REALLY happened to the Jedi and the person who caused it. This got recommended to me based on a post I made wishing we could've seen Beru and Owen learn the truth about Anakin and what might've changed for them as a result, and while that's not the singular plot of this fic, it is kind-of an example of the underlying theme of the entire thing. It's a nice almost wish-fulfillment style concept where the loss of Anakin Skywalker's good reputation allows the general populace to rise up in defense of those he betrayed in righteous rage. It's time for the galaxy to defend the Jedi for a change.

the time when stars align by @deniigi (7k): Cody accidentally adopts some young stormtroopers post Order 66 and escapes with them to the Rebellion after Vader finds a way to "cure" him of his accelerated aging. Cody goes through so much horror in this fic and is still so SO funny with the way he looks at the world and speaks to his loved ones, allowing this fic to still feel sweet and wholesome despite how awful Cody's life is and has been.

When Night Falls series by Penguin Kiwi (ongoing, 7k): Cin Drallig gets more of a warning in the Force just before Order 66 and is able to put up a defense of the Temple and stop Anakin at the steps. I love these AUs that allow more niche Jedi to shine through, especially when it means they get to defeat Anakin because the Force looked at Anakin's choices and decided to abandon him for a better option. The conversation between Cin and Obi-Wan in the second fic really hits home, too.

The Jedi Deserve Better:

grow bold in a barren and desolate land by @blackkatmagic (5k): Mace survives Order 66 and Anakin's betrayal and stages a rescue for two clones left in prison who he knows never would've had their chips activated: Slick and Dogma. This has literally the barest mention of Anakin, but that mention is that Mace could easily beat Anakin in a fair fight, so I'm including it anyway. This is another one of those AUs I could read an entire longfic or series for and be eternally happy. There's a follow-up to this fic that's more explicitly Mace/Slick which is by no means ever a ship I had ever even considered before, but it works SO WELL here and gives me some interesting feelings. I'm also just always down for Dogma being treated kindly and getting a happier ending than canon chose to give him.

i am creation, both haunted and holy by @blackkatmagic (800): A'Sharad Hett makes a visit to Kamino where he meets Alpha-17 and finds they share an opinion about Anakin Skywalker. I'm so intrigued by A'Sharad Hett as a character and wish there was more content written about and for him. A'Sharad and Alpha-17 bonding over thinking Anakin Skywalker is an entitled selfish jerk is the best possible beginning to a ship, I'll be honest.

that was a spring of storms by @blackkatmagic (unfinished, 9k): When Alderaan is destroyed by the Death Star, Leia's grief causes herself, Luke, and Bail Organa to travel back in time to 8 months into the Clone Wars, where they are determined to ensure things go a little differently. This fic is only 2 chapters in, so I don't know precisely what kind of consequences Anakin may or may not end up getting, which is why it's in this category, but unsurprisingly neither Bail nor Leia are feeling particularly benevolent towards him and it is so incredibly satisfying. But holy FUCK am I hooked to this entire concept. Bail and Leia's relationship is heart-wrenching as all get out, Bail's protective instincts towards the Jedi absolutely kills me, and I'm so intrigued by these ship tags!

The Crime of Grief Series by @feybarn (ongoing, 34k): Padme goes into labor early while on the way to Mustafar, so neither she nor Obi-Wan ever make it there, and they go on the run with Rex and Ahsoka afterwards instead. Sides are drawn in the aftermath of Anakin's choices that causes friction among them before they can find healing. There's a large emphasis in this series that Anakin's choices are, in fact, HIS CHOICES, and the blame for them cannot be placed on anyone but Anakin, as well as the conundrum of whether it truly matters whether Anakin's got good left in him or not and if it's even worth it to try to save him.

吃飽了嗎? | Have you eaten your fill? series by virdant (1.5k): A look at Obi-Wan and his experience of Jedi culture through food. Virdant's fics focus in on the Asian influences in the Jedi and builds out their culture from there. Not every fic in this series is explicitly anti-Anakin, but a few of them are more critical of Anakin's view of the Jedi and his unwillingness to understand their culture or point of view.

things the way we want them to be by virdant (600): No Order 66 AU, where a teenaged Leia talks to Obi-Wan about the struggles she's having with Anakin as a father and the future she knows she (and Luke) should've had but weren't allowed. Leia is just absolutely heartbreaking in this, and Obi-Wan's inability to truly help her the way they both want is equally so. It's a devastating look at a possible less happy future even in a happy fix-it AU because leaving the Jedi would never be enough to "fix" Anakin.

Not This Crude Matter series by @talesfromthebitterbeast (53k): The clones have picked up some misconceptions about the Jedi which causes the Jedi to distance themselves from the clones, even after the war ends in a happy fix-it AU. The fics showcase the situation from multiple different perspectives as misunderstandings abound, but is always firmly on the side of the Jedi. I really like the way the Jedi relationships are showcased here, the ways they communicate and lean on each other even in the face of being misunderstood and misrepresented by people they'd hoped would understand them better than anyone else.

Harmonic Oscillation by @jessepinwheel (2k): Originally a short tumblr fic that has since been posted to AO3. Obi-Wan time travels back to the Clone War era and confronts Anakin about what he's done. I always love getting to see Obi-Wan refuse to let Anakin get away with his bullshit and finally see Anakin for the piece of shit that he is.

Released by @jedi-order-apologist (6k): Cody is rescued from the Empire post-Return of the Jedi and has to come to terms with everything he's happened to him now that he's at the end of his life and spent the majority of it brainwashed and enslaved to the Empire. This is a fic I come back to a lot because I really love the way Cody works through what's happened to him and the way he's viewed from an outside perspective via Luke. I also really love how the relationship between Cody and Obi-Wan isn't made explicitly romantic, but is portrayed as immensely important and meaningful to both of them, regardless of how you choose to view it.

Knightrise by @deviantaccumulation (unfinished, 89k): Obi-Wan and Yoda choose not to try to fight Anakin or Sidious and instead retreat to Mandalore to attempt to rebuild the Jedi Order as much as they can there under Satine's protection. This is an AU where Maul genuinely dies on Naboo which is a major plus in my book all on its own, quite honestly. There's some interesting political aspects in this for how the Jedi Order attempts to rebuild an actual community within Mandalore, with Mandalore still being a member of the Neutral Systems, and the Empire having risen already and all of the ensuing issues with that.

|keep the wolves away| by littlekaracan (unfinished, 46k): Obi-Wan and Yoda find Reva in the Temple and she accompanies Obi-Wan to Tatooine where they have to survive and recover together while watching over and protecting Luke. This is such a brilliant character study into Reva as a young child survivor of Order 66, being taken care of by someone who loves her but is equally as traumatized by the same event and the way that shapes their relationship and Reva's upbringing. I love her SO SO MUCH and I adore her perspective as she struggles to figure out what it means to be a Jedi in a world where being a Jedi openly means certain death but it's the last connection she has to her home, her family, and her culture.

our caches and constellations by johanneb (98k): "Eleven years ago, the Jedi order got wind of the closing pincers of a Sith trap and scattered to the remote corners of the galaxy. Ten years ago, millions of clone commanders and troopers were introduced as the Republic’s new Army, made for fighting a war alongside people the galaxy seemed to be forgetting ever existed." I couldn't come up with a better way to explain the fic than its own summary, but Cody and the 212th pick up Obi-Wan and Luke on Tatooine, while Senator Organa has to figure out how to get himself, Leia, and Leia's "tutor" to a rebel base without their two new Coruscant Guard escorts figuring out exactly how disloyal to the Republic they actually are. I absolutely SLAMMED through this fic, it's so good. Despite some of its heavier themes, it's honestly very sweet and wholesome with lots of cute Luke and Leia, some incredibly wonderful romances, and really interesting worldbuilding for this just slightly to the left version of the gffa. Anakin never makes an appearance in this, but he does get mentioned a few times for his betrayal and his part in the current state of the galaxy, and I REALLY loved that at no point in this fic was it ever important to either twin who their biological parents were.

ring the bells that can still ring by rain_sleet_snow (22k): Reva's been working with the Rebellion in-between the events of the Kenobi show and A New Hope, but when she hears Obi-Wan has made an appearance recently and goes to try to find him, she discovers Luke and Leia instead, with nobody left to train them but her. This fic was like a warm bread roll or a perfectly brewed cup of tea, it was just absolutely wholesome and exactly everything I could have wanted from this concept. The relationships between Luke, Leia, and Reva are both hilarious and sweet while allowing their respective traumas to still remain relevant to their journey together. Their discussions about Darkness, Reva's past, Obi-Wan, Anakin, the Jedi, and the events of A New Hope are all heart-wrenching and really feel so in-character but also so in line with the tone of the original trilogy. I could sit here and list things I liked about this fic all day, but it'd be faster to just read it yourself.
