Hello chaps! I’ve been away for a hot minute, I know.
Here’s a commission that the wonderful @selcier has been paaaaatiently waiting for (for longer than I care to admit!!) that I finally felt able to finish recently. It’s for her amazing fic CT-Skywalker, which I highly recommend, and I got to go full lens flare to make it resemble a classic Drew Struzan-type poster. My respect, thanks and admiration go to her for her ongoing patience and kindness in waiting while I have been Going Through It. ❤
Mental-health wise, I’m not gonna make any big declarations because that way madness lies, so I’m just being grateful for a few good days recently. Hopefully I’ll be back on Tumblr a bit more than I have been, so I want to give a shy little wave to all you guys and say that I hope you’re all doing great, that your skin is clear, you’re sleeping through the night and that a dog notices you on the street today. ❤ Much love.

Day 1: “I’ve got you. Breathe, okay? I’ve got you.” & Day 19: First Kiss
Anakin gets injured and Obi-Wan does not handle it well.
It hasn’t even been a year since the Republic fell, but the new Galactic Empire already has made short work of spreading mayhem across the galaxy. Ahsoka Tano has had enough. She can’t believe her old Master is wholly evil, and she can’t believe there’s nothing that can be done. Ahsoka seeks out the one person who she thinks can help, but quickly realizes there’s more than one way to fall and that this is going to be much harder than she originally thought
It was not a secret he particularly enjoyed keeping but it was
not a secret he could share with anyone without hurting someone he
deeply cared about so he soldiered on.
Pretending to not know that Obi-Wan Kenobi was carrying on a secret affair with Satine Kryze the Duchess of Mandalore.
All things considered, Anakin felt he had done a good job,
quietly supporting his best friend as the Dragon gnawed at his heart and
told him that he would never be good enough for Obi-Wan. He hadn’t
breathed a word of Obi-Wan’s secret to anyone, not even to Ahsoka or Rex
and he had even covered for Obi-Wan when he was late back to the Temple
after a visit to Satine’s apartments when she was visiting Coruscant.
He had been on his best behavior, and hadn’t even complained
about the affair to Padme, who knew about it from Satine during a
drunken girls’ night a few weeks ago. When the hangover was gone, Padme
had invited Anakin over to give him a shoulder to cry on and a
sympathetic ear, given that she knew how deeply Anakin cared for
Obi-Wan.
But Anakin hadn’t given into his despair or his rage. He kept
his chin up and tried to be the Jedi Obi-Wan believed he was. Strong. In
control and balanced.
Not the desperately weak, fearful and needy mess Anakin knew in his heart that he was.
As the affair continued on for a few months, Anakin was starting
to despair that Obi-Wan would leave the Jedi Order. Not in the middle
of the war, of course, but afterwards, when there would be no need for
High Generals or war councils or the like.
He would resign and go to Mandalore where the Duchess would be
waiting with wide open arms and all the peace and quiet and freedom from
an annoying, troublesome former padawan Obi-Wan could ever want.
This was his future, his sad pathetic destiny, Anakin told himself, and he needed to accept it and move on.
Just like Obi-Wan will.
So when Obi-Wan invited Anakin to his quarters in the Temple, he
was not at all prepared to hear that the romance he had spent so many
nights quietly cursing was over.
Finished. No more.
Satine Kryze, the Duchess of Mandalore, had had the audacity to
dump Obi-Wan Kenobi, as if there was someone better out there, which
Anakin knew for a fact there was not.
Anakin through this whole fic:
I love this for multiple reasons but the biggest are definitely 1) Anakin knowing that he’s screwing everything up and yet being unable to stop, and 2) Obi-Wan getting to be justifiably angry because he puts up with so much in canon and fanfic already let the man snap once in a while. A+ characterization I love it.
