Title: Shorn
Summary: Obi-Wan shaves his beard and there is great controversy in the hallway outside his quarters as the others await the reveal.
------------
And finally, finally the hiss of a door sounds. Kix has never been more grateful for General Kenobi in his life. He turns with relief in the center of his tongue, but it evaporates like sugar.
The person standing in the doorway of General Kenobi’s quarters is not General Kenobi.
“Woah,” Commander Tano says. “You look terrible.”
“Thank you, padawan,” the stranger says in exactly General Kenobi’s voice with his same accent, but with lips.
Visible lips. And moles. Visible moles.
“General,” CO Cody says. He salutes and the rest of his men follow his lead.
“At ease, Cody,” The impersonator sighs. “Is it that bad?”
“No sir,” CO Cody says without missing a beat. “It is nice to see you are refreshed, sir.”
General Skywalker curls his lips at him.
“Obi-Wan,” he starts.
“Refreshed is one way to put it,” General Kenobi (????) says. “Yes, Anakin?”
General Skywalker falters under the attention of his former-master. General Kenobi’s face is smooth now, and his lips turn down slightly at their corners in a manner that makes him look exhausted.
He has a deep dimple in his chin. Who knew?
“It’s nothing,” General Skywalker says.
CO Cody holds his gaze with a quirked brow. The General glowers.
“Nothing?” General Kenobi asks. “What’re you all doing here?”
“Awaiting your return, sir,” CO Cody says.
“It’s a fire hazard, Cody. In this hallway? I’m disappointed,” Kenobi says.
CO Cody inclines his head as if to say ‘and you’re very welcome.’ Kenobi studies him for a moment before the exhausted corners of his lips lift slightly.
“Well, get on with it,” he says. “How do I look? Be honest, Cody.”
“Like shit, sir,” CO Cody says from the chest.
“Handsome shit?” Kenobi asks.
“As a mule’s ass.”
Kenobi beams. CO Cody surveys him with nonchalance.
“Do you need guidance returning to the bridge, General?” he asks.
“Oh yes, I am helpless, dear. Downtrodden and traumatized. Please escort me.”
CO Cody nods and holds out his arm. General Kenobi threads his under it and allows CO Cody to take a few steps before turning back to take in General Anakin’s silent fuming.
“Anakin,” he says after a beat, “Please refrain from insulting my commander. I enjoy the privilege of status he allows me to feel every fortnight.”
The last nail slams into the coffin.
“If you are good, I will consider allowing you feel it tonight,” CO Cody says smoothly.
“Oh, dearest, you are too kind,” Kenobi croons. “Shall we clear the schedule?”
“Not on your life.”

when my first husband and i opened our relationship on halloween that was followed by me hooking up with a friend that my first husband and i had known since college and who my first husband and i had been able to reconnect with over the course of the year; and this friend became my confidant during the roughest parts of the oncoming divorce and as i opened up to them about it, they realized that they were also Going Through A Lot of Shit that put them in a similar boat and we became very emotionally intimate and involved with each other on top of the physical intimacy and now we're like a ~thing~ but it's not like a romantic thing where we're like girlfriends or whatever and we're definitely not exclusive but we're very close and very special to each other and we love each other and we're seeing each other (such a lovely phrase) and we went to michigan this weekend and i met their parents and it was really nice. the context for our relationship deepening was such a perfect right time, right place, right people, right reasons sort of thing that i'm comfortable saying that after months of grueling emotional grief and loss, they and this relationship we have is the best thing to come out of the divorce for me. the second-best thing is all the awesome lesbian sex i've been having with lots of different people. life is good
