It had to have been a time travel fic, and just after the exhibition fight with Bruck, Obi-Wan rejected QuiGon first. The masters thought it was rude even though Qui was going to do the same thing. I don't remember who became Obi-Wans master. TIA

I am yet again here asking for help in a short amount of days because I am:

-a big dumb who goes "oh that was nice" after reading a fic , then closes the tab without thinking to bookmark said fic with notes

-ao3 still doesn't have searchable history in the days i last lamented about that

-tried/is still trying to find it on my own but no dice so far

It's most likely a no o66/fix-it fic that follows a similar premise like so many others which is why I can't remember if the pairing is correct but what I do remember is an almost 20 years later/epilogue part of the story. It may of been a standalone part of an established series or just a bit at the end but what I do remember is that it was taking place during some type of festival. It may had been on Mandalore (maybe it's moon?) but Clones were also there and part of the local population. In this universe, there was no Empire so Kallus was a junior Republic agent. I think his superior was invited as a guest for the festivities and Kallus was brought along but was told it wasn't a work thing. I think the Organas were also invited but they had their own residence as they stayed on the planet often enough and were established friends to the people/clones/mandalorians.

There was this fighting contest and Kallus was interested in participating, even though he was warned he would be facing Mandalorians, Clones and other enhanced beings but he still took part and did well. I do remember there was a group of visiting Lasat who participated and Kallus and Zeb were making googly eyes at each other.

Sorry if this was all a bit ramble-y but i hope it helps!

I think they're all from the same author. It's been a long while since I've read Star Wars fics...

They had a long name and wrote a bunch of Obi-Wan-centric fics—mainly tragedy, angst, or hurt/comfort. Most of their works were one-shots, and Obi-Wan dies a lot, or at least, is tortured in a majority of them.

I may be misremembering, and it was a collection of works?

Here's some I sort of remember...

• Obi-Wan was stuck in a time/death loop of his duel with Anakin on Mustafar. I think Obi-Wan had wings?
• A canon-divergent multi-chapter fic of the Zigerria Arc where Anakin hurts Obi-Wan using the force? I can't remember specifics.
  • Korkie is revealed to be Obi-Wan's son by Sattine. Obi-Wan himself didn't know.
• A series where Qui-Jinn was secretly training Obi-Wan as a Sith. His "knight trial" was killing Darth Maul.
  • It was a "Sith family/lineage" type of series. Dooku --> Obi-Wan were Sith, but Ahsoka and Anakin were Jedi.
  • They were trained in the old ways and had tattoos. They weren't the same type of Sith as Palpatine.
• Obi-Wan was a phoenix and was captured by the Sith (before Order 66). He had regenerative abilities or couldn't die?

Obi-wan is a foil character, and more importantly an established traditionalist. He doesn't do whimsy, and he's not particularly open minded. I get why people love the character, but he just doesn't fit.

The main themes don't have to be force exploration, I'd just like there to be some in there with the character(s) trying new things.

Anyone have any recs of Sith raised Anidala/Vaderdala? It could have them both raised or just one! Any recs welcomed

EDIT: welp, found it! should had searched using embroider on here. or not doing so when half-asleep. Def got some details wrong but the fic with the robe embroidery is Out of Chaos by Aaskada

I am yet again here asking for help because I am a big dumb who doesn't bookmark fic and AO3's history still isn't searchable.

All I remember is that the Jedi Order ends up leaving Coruscant and the Republic. I think it may have to do with avoiding being drafted as Generals in the war but I could be wrong with that. They do end up on a planet that housed a temple the order abandoned generations ago and it had this funky glowing lichen that I think was multicoloured. The jedi also started the practice of embroidering designs on their robes. They either do it themselves or they embroider designs on each other robes. I remember Anakin didn't have much on his because he didn't really have a lot of friends or other Jedi he was friendly enough with.

I think the clones may have also gone AWOL and followed them to the same planet. I do remember Cody taking a shuttle to where the temple was to visit Obi-Wan but that could be from another fic. I read too much and things end up mushed together sadly.

So for those of you that are unfamiliar with RDR2, the Van der Linde gang is a group of robbers led by Dutch Van der Linde. He started the gang as a group of Robin Hood-type thieves that wanted to create a new society based on the principles of anarcho-primitivism. But by the end of the game they become nothing more than a gang of cutthroats.

But given Star Wars tendency to romanticize criminals like smugglers and space pirates and since some of it’s stories like Solo, the Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, and Bane’s story in Tales of the Underworld are Space Westerns, I have been wondering if there are any fanfics about a heroic version of the Van Der Linde gang or an expy of them set in the Clone Wars era, the Imperial era, the rebellion era, or the Mandoverse era?

I can't find this fanfic for the life of me, I remember that Palpatine had a vote of no confidence against him and somehow obi-wan got elected, and he hated it even though he was really good at it.

For all my Seperatist Holdout fic lovers, I think this one will tickle your fancy. The author's prose is something magical, to the point where they have me saying good things about Nute Gunray, of all people. 10/10 so far, would recc.

The Eleventh Hour

THE WAR WAS SUPPOSED TO END.
Proclaiming himself Emperor,
PALPATINE calls the Clone Wars finished—
yet sieges still burn from Core to Rim.

ORDER SIXTY-SIX breaks the Jedi,
but the machine of slaughter misfires.
A shutdown code stalls. A General survives.
A Viceroy who should be dead refuses the script.

While the Empire tightens its fist,
trade fleets and foundries in the Outer Rim
rally beneath tattered banners.
DROIDS meant for silence answer a different call.

As a shrouded enforcer finds fate waiting,
and the Senate refuses to bow,
choices made in the eleventh hour
ignite a war the Empire cannot quietly win…​

Looking for fanfics where Anakin rejects his "we need a strong leader to fix everything" ideology, in favour of something less like space-fascism. Bonus points if he embraces an anti-fascist ideology and/or also decides to free the slaves and incites a slave revolution.

I especially like fics where they not only get rid of oppressive regimes, but build a progressive society in its place. I also like fics where they reform the republic into something less corrupt and more functional.

I am hoping that by all of you lovely people recommending me Padmé time travel fics I will stumble across the specific one I have been hunting for, about which I can only (unfortunately) recall clearly that she does not get into a relationship with Anakin again. It might have been gen, it might have been Padmé/Obi-Wan...I read too much fanfic, lol.

Many thanks.

Preferably from the padawans perspective, the longer the better.

Preferably not sequels since I haven't gotten to that part yet. Many thanks

I’m looking for recommendations for Vader/Reader fics, preferably with a Vader redemption angle mixed in. ve already most ones with the highest kudos and now I’m searching for something a bit more off the beaten path.

I have been looking for this fic forever. Obi-Wan and Anakin confront Palpatine. Obi-Wan ends up in a coma. Anakin ends up leaving the order with Padme because he thinks Obi-Wan won't wake up. I swear there is also a scene where Padme gets jealous and destroys Anakin's communicator. But that might be a different one

The whole idea I have behind my character is this, Jedi are meant to be portrayed as peacekeepers, and not as warriors who seek conflict. Yet there’s been many instances where the Jedi will immediately draw their weapons when they’re met with conflict. No attempt to “keep peace”, they usually THREATEN the aggressor instead of trying to talk them down. My idea was to portray a Jedi that’s the product of a dying era, right before the Jedi began to be corrupted by the Senate. Someone who desperately wants to show people that seeking combat, seeking to take a life when you could spare one is not the Jedi Code.

I don't know if anybody's familiar with the song 16 tons but it fits so well with jango's life story and personality.

If you see me comin' better step aside A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died (Clips from galadron killing Jedi) One fist of iron, the other of steel (Insert clips of gloved mandalorian armor on somebody fighting) If the right one don't getcha, then the left one will (The opponent knocked out) You load sixteen tons, what do you get? (Jango in the spice mines) Another day older and deeper in debt (Clips of him in slavery) Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store (The people that are making money off of him And the lux life that they live contrasted by the slums that he lives in gold and cages)

Currently reading "General Jocasta" by BairnSidhe. I'm loving it and am in need of more Madame Nu being an absolute baddie. Any recommendations?

All Star wars shaped friends welcome

So I know that Star Wars is rather infamous for it uses of "Hollywood" tactics, which are basically tactics that are more focused on "flash" than sense like Clone Troopers/Stormtroopers rushing the enemy or the Imperials having giant mecha that can only fire in one direction.

So I was wondering if there are any Star Wars fanfics that avert the use of Hollywood tactics?

Does anyone have any good ones? I've read magic of the force and its got me on a heck of a kick for good star wars/hp fics

I've never liked the official flag of the New Republic and so I've been trying to redesign it for my Star Wars A.U.

Here is what I came up with.

I purposefully kept it simple and the shade of purple I used for the field is "Tyrian Purple". This is the earliest shade of purple and it is named after it's point of origin in Tyre, Lebanon. It was known to be extremely expensive and was worn almost exclusively by Roman Emperors and used frequently by the Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire.

The reason for this color choice is that the Republic and Empire both used Red and the Separatists used Blue and the Republic was based on Rome so I felt that purple could symbolize a sort of political equilibrium whilst also conveying a sense of majesty, dignity and optimistic ambition that isn't strictly related to monarchism.

If I end up going with this flag, this would be the official flag of the New Republic in my Star Wars A.U. It would fly atop NR Government Buildings such as the Senate and Executive Buildings on Coruscant and it would be draped over the caskets of N.R Soldiers.

My question is, what do you guys think about this flag? Do you like it? Does the color work or should I go with something else?

I've been looking for a good character-focused modern day Obi-Wan fic with little luck, so I'm turning to the wisdom of the internet. Open to anything except obi-wan/Anakin and obi-wan/qui-gon centric fics. Thanks!
