Um… ok, who else had the first thought of “Never fallen Jedi Knight Anakin faces down one of the Emperor’s agents when said agent is trying to kidnap Luke?”
This is plot bunny gold!
It’s not much @letslipthehounds but here’s a quick snippet?…
“Let go of my son. Right now.”
Not for the first time Anakin’s fingers itch for the security of his lightsaber, but the days when he could safely carry it on his person are long gone, and the Emperor’s karking leech rat caught them by surprise. The blaster rifle will just have to do.
The Inquisitor laughs bringing his blade closer to his captive’s throat. “I think not, Skywalker. You have no idea how eager my Master is to speak to you again. And what a wonderful surprise it will be for him to meet your son…” he looks down briefly at the child held by his side. “Providing of course, you co-operate appropriately.”
Luke for his part is obviously fighting to keep the fear from his face and Anakin can feel his anger start to rise. He quashes it with great effort. He cannot afford to slip up now. He looks the Inquisitor straight in the eye, pushing with the Force. “I said. Let. Him. Go.”
The Inquisitor is well trained, but Anakin is powerful and for just a moment he begins to waver.
Which is when a flurry blaster bolts appears out of nowhere, headed straight for the side of scum sucker’s face.
Trained reflexes are a powerful thing, and without thinking the Inquisitor moves his saber to deflect the shots. Anakin doesn’t hesitate. The Emperor’s agent looks surprised as he falls, a large hole punched straight through his chest.
“DADDY!!!”
There is a hard impact against his hip and Anakin automatically crouches, wrapping an arm around Luke and holding him tight against his body. The Inquisitor may be dead but it does not mean the danger is past.
“Shh Luke, it’ll be alright.” He whispers comfortingly. “Uncle Obi and Leia are waiting for us at the ship, and then we can go home. But until we get there I need you to be very quiet ok?”
“Ok.” Luke sniffles softly.
“Good.”
With one last hug Anakin turns his attention to their surroundings. Extending his senses, the docking bay feels empty. Not that it means much. With the Empire their tails even Anakin has had to learn how to completely hide himself in the Force. He imagines it’s much the same for any other Force users who might be roaming the galaxy. While it’s possible their rescuer may have already fled, he cannot rule out the other option.
Taking care to position himself in front of his son, Anakin carefully stands and loudly addresses the emptiness.
“I don’t know who you are, but you have my thanks.”
There’s a faint flare in the Force but before Anakin can find himself pondering it’s familiarity a tall figure emerges from the shadows.
“That’s ok. I can hardly let you have all the fun can I, Skyguy?”
And Anakin cannot breath because she’s taller now, her voice a little deeper, but the face looking at him with a heartbreaking mixture of hope and disbelief is undeniably….
“Ahsoka.” He breathes, joy rising though him in a rush of emotion even as he lowers his rifle.
She walks closer and now he can see the hint of tears in her eyes. “Hey Ma… Anakin. It’s good to see you again.”
He can feel her now and it is her. Ahsoka! Alive and well and here! He opens his arms wide and the next moment he is hugging her tight, full of love and relief. He can feel his cheeks hurting from the size of his grin and if they’re also a little wet then he’s sure she can keep a secret. “You too Snips.” He says against her cheek. “I’ve missed you so much.”
“Ahsoka? Like the stories?”
Luke’s interjection seems to take them both by surprise, and with some reluctance Anakin breaks their embrace to smile at his son.
“Exactly like the stories. Luke, this is your Aunt Ahsoka. Ahsoka, I’d like you to meet my son, Luke.”
The seven year old looks awestruck and to be honest Ahsoka isn’t much better. And for the first time in years, Anakin’s family is almost complete.
So I was reminded of one of the bits in my WIP folder and finally got inspired to finish it off. This is a direct sequel to a ficlet I wrote a long while back, and won’t make much sense without having read that first.
I hope you all enjoy 🙂
It feels like one of her dreams. How many times has she found herself in the old days, chasing after her master as they rush through empty corridors, only to wake to a much colder and darker reality? Except, the Anakin in front of her seems a fraction smaller than Ahsoka remembers, a little more worn and much more subdued, and none of her dreams include the face of a small blond child grinning at her from his perch on his father’s shoulders.
Luke. Anakin’s son. Anakin has a son. Anakin is alive. The thoughts keep running around in her head, even as she automatically takes cover to avoid a wandering patrol. It won’t be long now before they find the body, and they need to be gone soon if they want to avoid lockdown. Which brings her right back to the beginning because how could she ever have expected this?
Okay but
imagine the Jedi finding like, holonet fansites about them.
People who freak out and take pictures whenever they see a jedi
people who have whole worlds of wildly inaccurate headcanons about Jedi and certain Jedi whose pictures of various everyday heroics have become holonet memes
people who make plastoid lightsaber props
in the clone wars, whole fansites and blogs dedicated solely to Kenobi and Skywalker
Obi-Wan finds them and is scandalized
Anakin finds them and has the time of his life – he actual starts his own blog anonymously, which he updates with really good photos and funny, OOC posts about himself and Obi-Wan (((but liek how does he get those photos???/?? like kriff’s sake NO one KNEOWS)))
Master Yoda follows this blog religiously
Literally everyone in the Temple knows about Anakin’s blog except for Obi-Wan
Mace Windu trolls all of the comments section. The kicker? He does so as himself, but no one believes him, everyone thinks he’s a fan that somehow got the username TheRealMaceWindu
Palpatine follows Anakin’s blog, but does not know that it is anakin. He thinks it is some very distractible, annoying fanboy.
When the generals aren’t watching, the clones pick up all the dime store novels based on the Jedi and snigger to themselves in the barracks at the ridiculous sterotypes and misrepresentations – especially when Kenobi is made into a middle-aged heart throb.
Eventually, Anakin grows lax with his anonymity and starts his own blog as himself – it becomes one of the most popular blogs in the republic within a matter of weeks.
He posts a lot about Obi-Wan, only because he knows he will hate it. Obi-Wan’s consistent death glares at the camera have inspired their own meme.
Ahsoka once hacked Anakin’s blog and posted pictures of him making weird faces

I take no responsibility:
Anakin Skywalker had a secret.
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.
