In ForceFavorite, Does the light side of the force manifest itself too? Are both sides of the force causing mayhem in the senate?

Accepting
the clay bowl from the other, Obi-Wan smiled wryly into it even as he
used his other hand to shield his eyes from the bright light. “Thank
you, this is very kind of you.” He stated quietly and chuckled when
he felt something akin to a hand slowly brushing through his hair.

Then
the light disappeared.

It
made Obi-Wan feel a little melancholy but he knew they’d be back as
he could now use both hands to cradle the tea bowl as he raised his
eyes to glance about the quarters. Outside
of the tea, nothing much had changed.

‘As
if the embodiment of the Light hasn’t just wandered through here
and made tea of all things for me.’ Obi-Wan mused in amusement. He
could still sense the dark side, prowling in the Senate, the
viciousness very easy to connect with.

The
Light side wasn’t petty like the Dark.

So
different in behavior and yet both protective.

‘Or
maybe possessive is the right word for the Darkness?’ Obi-Wan blew
on the warm liquid and then took a small sip, savoring the bitter tea
with a content sigh which had him closing his eyes again only to open
them once again as the door slid open.

Glancing
over his shoulder, Obi-Wan smiled as two sweaty Jedi stepped in.
“Welcome back from sparring.” He said warmly as
he watched Anakin run a hand through his sweaty curls while beaming
back, his boots abandoned.

Ahsoka
straightened them up as her sweaty master made his way to the couch,
putting her own beside them before heading straight for the fresher
even as Anakin leaned on the back of the couch. “Hey there Obi-Wan,
see you got yourself a cup of tea.” He said with cheer before
glancing about with a semi concentrated look.

Watching
him while sipping, Obi-Wan let an amused look cover his face. “You
feel it don’t you.” He stated with a chortle.

Shaking
his head, Anakin raised his brows. “The fact that the light side
comes by and makes tea for you is strange but yeah, feels kind of
warm in here, light… eh I’m not sure how to term it, its more
elusive than the dark side whose just going amok in the Senate of all
things.” He huffed a bit.

Sipping
quietly, Obi-Wan said nothing for a few moments even as Anakin
narrowed his eyes at him.

Finally
Anakin huffed and nodded. “No, I know, I know. We got our
suspicions about the why, I shouldn’t say that.” He sighed and
moved around the couch to settle down with a flop that only jostled
Obi-Wan a bit with how used he was to the other behaving like a sack
of space potatoes.

“Ew,
you’re a sweaty mess, don’t get your sweat on the couch Anakin.”
The older man complained loudly with a groan that
only had the younger man laughing.

Waggling
his hands at the man, Anakin smirked. “If you weren’t holding a
cup of hot tea I’d rub my sweat all over you.”

Yelping,
Obi-Wan jumped to his feet and backed away, tea bowl cradled to his
chest. “Don’t you dare Anakin! You’re not a gross teenager
anymore!” He hissed before racing away from the cackling blond who
was tracing after him. “ANAKIN!”

This
was the scene Ahsoka stepped out to, hand holding a towel to her
lekku pausing as she stared at Master Kenobi desperately racing
around the kitchen table with Anakin in full pursuit after him.
“…Humans.” She mumbled in fond exasperation.

1hand2hand- the boys get fitted for the new arms

Wiggling
his new fingers a bit, Anakin frowned deeply down
at his own hand resting on the tray table in front of him and
grunted at the healer who was watching him concernedly. “It feels a
bit sore but that may be because the stump is so fresh?” He
questioned with a small frown.

She
hummed at that, tapping her stylus on her pad before nodding. “That
does sound right I have to admit. Some bacta cream may help? I
will have to take a closer look on which treatment to go with
honestly.”
Healer El-Tu
settled on before turning her head to her other patient with a raised
black brow.

At
the cue, Obi-Wan wiggled his own fingers tryingly and hissed outright
as
he clearly fought not to jerk back from the tray table.

She
quickly placed her hand over Obi-Wan’s fingers at that, her eyes
lighting up in concern. “And it seems the infection you had to
fight Master Kenobi has left yours quite tender also. We may want to
delay attaching your prosthetic for a few more days or at least
another bacta soak for them and a round of cleaning for yours along
with the soak Master Kenobi.” She had aimed the first part for both
of them with of course the latter part for the redhead.

Anakin
glanced at his master worriedly.

He
knew that the infection the other had to fight after having his
ruined hand exposed for so long with only a few muscles and tendons
keeping it attached had an effect compared to Anakin who got it
straight cut off with a lightsaber but he didn’t know it would be
that bad.

He
watched as Obi-Wan licked his lips and took a deep breath to gather
himself before he finally gave Healer El-Tu one of those small,
charming smiles. “If that is what you feel is correct but with the
situation as is, I would prefer for it to get attached sooner rather
than later in my ca-”

“Master
Kenobi,” She cut in sternly as Anakin opened his mouth to scold
Obi-Wan. He snapped it shut however at her stern tone. “Your hand
was destroyed, you were forced for several days to experience the
blood loss with a fully open wound with your hand requiring
amputation instead of any saving possible. You will take the time you
need to recover as will your padawan or I shall be forced to inform
the council to put you on a semi permanent hiatus until I deem you
healed enough, have I made myself clear?” She growled out as
she set down her pad and stylus.

Suitably
cowed, Obi-Wan nodded quickly, lifting his flesh hand in a placating
motion. It
was rather amusing to Anakin to see his master like this so he missed
it when the healer started to remove his prosthetic, yelping a bit in
surprise as the nerves disconnected.

She
gave him an amused look, settling the metal limb on the tray and
lifting his stump to examine it. El-Tu seemed satisfied with what she
saw however before turning to Obi-Wan, gingerly removing his limb too
and settling it on the tray along with Anakin’s arm.

Once
more El-Tu lifted a stump and started a visual examination before
frowning and
then sighing. “Well its as well as we can expect, I’ll give it a
little rub in with a cleaning solution and a bacta lotion but we’re
still doing the soak for both.” She murmured before turning away to
find bandages and the items in question.

Glancing
at each other, Obi-Wan and Anakin smiled a bit at each other..

Seeing
as how they were both going through the same, they had decide to have
their appointments together, having their stumps looked over together
to be each others support.

It
was nice to have someone to share with honestly and their situations
were something of the same even if Obi-Wan had been cut off at the
hand and been infected and Anakin’s had been taken off with a
lightsaber at the elbow.

Watching
as Obi-Wan’s stump was first cleaned and then soaked in bacta
lotion before wrapped up, Anakin made metal notes in case they needed
to do this in the field. Who knew what the future would bring with
the damn war looming over them.

He
could see Obi-Wan observe his own stump work too and had to hide a
pleased flush at that, a small squirm at the dept of his stomach at
the fact that the other was looking out for him. ‘Well… he is
still my master.’ Anakin tried to logic out as his stump was
covered up.

Yet…
it was a nice feeling as Obi-Wan’s flesh hand gently squeezed his
elbow in assurance.

#immortalplans- Obi asks to spend more time with his big brother Anakin. Anakin and his other brother realize that Obi is more grounded in the cosmic force.

Peeling
slowly, Anakin glanced down beside him quickly before continuing to
peel the apple with his little fruit viroblade. It had been a gift
from Xanatos many years ago but thanks to care and the occasional
sharpening, was still as good as the first year he got it.

It
was just a little blade really, no longer than Anakin’s index
finger and sharp on one side of the blade with the ability fold into
a little black shaft with silver stars engraved into it and a A.S.

‘He’s
been smiling rather happily for the last five minutes… what is he
sensing in his meditation?’ Anakin wondered as he continued peeling
and cutting.

He
hadn’t been exactly shocked when Qui-Gon had commed him, telling
him that Obi-Wan wanted to spend time with him though to be frank,
Anakin had not expected the energetic child to want to meditate of
all things.

“I
figured you two would be playing tag or going through shii-cho, not
sitting around in a dojo.” A cheerful voice announced and Anakin
looked up to give Feemor a grin as the dirt coated man wandered in
with a much cleaner and smug looking Xanatos following behind.

“Obi-Wan
is just now recovering from his stomach bug,” Anakin grinned, still
working on the apple though most of the peel was already gone. “And
he picked meditation. A better question would be what you two have
been up to?” He asked teasingly since he could guess what they had
been doing.

Xanatos
opened his mouth to answer only for Obi-Wan to beat him to the
answer. “Feemor talked Xanatos into helping the gardens, Xanatos
got pouty and they ended up having a mud war only for Xanatos to
cheat and rebound the mud balls at Feemor until the gardeners chased
them away… they’re not mad though, they find it hilarious.”
Obi-Wan chirped out, not opening his eyes.

The
three older Jedi exchanged looks, the oldest two looking surprised
but confirming with a nod when Anakin’s face turned inquisitive.

“Also,
that’s a pretty swan you’re making Anakin, is it for me?”
Obi-Wan tacked on with a childish smile without opening his eyes.

Pausing,
looking at the half formed apple swan he was indeed making for
Obi-Wan, Anakin felt his lips draw into a small smile. “…Well,
looks like Obi-Wan’s very focused in the unifying Force… or maybe
the Cosmic Force?” He mused and glanced up at
the other two questionably.

Feemor
dropped down on his knees in front of Obi-Wan, eyes searching as he
observed the boy. “…The former I think, the latter is the Force
feeding into everything, energy in every being, in all life,
connecting us all… not visions or precognition as I suspect this
is. Though I imagine you also have had visions huh Obi-Wan?” He
mused thoughtfully, watchful.

Anakin
got that.

Jedi
who had abilities in the Unifying Force were exposed, exposed to the
things they saw, the things they felt and struggled at times to
connect with the waking world around them. There were stories of Jedi
who had gone insane or succumb
to the dark side thanks to their ability if
they lost themselves to the visions.

And
their little lineage brother was showing quite the grasp of it if he
could tell what Feemor and Xanatos had been up to.

‘And…’
A worried part of Anakin’s mind whispered. ‘Qui-Gon isn’t so
good with visions. We’ll have to keep a good eye on this… and
warn the others. Even that dick of a grandmaster.’ Anakin pursed
his lips before smiling and tapping Obi-Wan’s hand, handing over
the apple swan to the delighted boy.

Hi Moddy, I love your work. Do you know Japanese White Day when a person returns a gift they received on Valentine’s Day? Maybe Obi getting various gifts from everyone clones,jedi,Jango,Bane,Hondo,etc but on white day when everyone waits to see who will be the lucky sod that gets something more than generic ‘thank you’ chocolate, our adorable blushing Obi gives it someone who thought they had no chance like Cody? Just luff all around. Thank you and once again love your work

Its
quite nice, he won’t deny that but it is also kind of a hassle
to
be the target of so much attention on Valentine’s,
Obi-Wan
will admit as he oversees the amount
of treats he now has and makes note who has given him what and what
he should get them in return for White day.

Honestly
most of these…

Well
the Senator’s on the list were getting marshmallows, Obi-Wan wasn’t
about to give any of them any ideas except for Bail who was getting a
box of white
chocolate filled with rum but that was because Obi-Wan knew that his
chocolate was just a friendly gesture and the chocolate would be
shared with Breha since the chocolate from him was really from both.
The box of Alderaan chocolate did make him smile every year, honestly
and
he savored the rare treat the Senator and Queen was so kind to give
him.

But
back on track, yes, marshmallows for the senator’s, cutely shaped
and clearly store bought so they wouldn’t read much into it.

For
the creche younglings and younger padawans of the temple there were
cookies and these ones Obi-Wan had made himself but that was because
it was the younger years while the older padawan’s were getting the
same brand of basic marshmallows in cute animal shapes.

Obi-Wan
had one year given everyone homemade cookies but that had been a
mistake honestly and Anakin still cackled about the amount of love
struck padawans who had followed him around and Obi-Wan had learned
his lessons about it thank Force before the clone wars.

His
fellow council members were getting either homemade cookies or some
nice white chocolate depending on preference.

Well
except for the ones who did not eat like Master Plo, Obi-Wan had
gotten them white flowers actually.

Ahsoka
was getting a fluffy white convor
plushie
that he had seen her eyeing earlier that week with Anakin getting a
rather large white blanket stitched with flying birds that Obi-Wan
knew the other would with Padme who was most certainly in on the
rather thoughtful gifts of tea samples from all over the galaxy his
former padawan had given him

His
former creche mates and friends were getting their standard fairs of
course of chocolate and marshmallows with Bant’s having the extra
kelp hidden in her thing stuff and Quinlan’s of course being boozy.

And
then there were the troopers…

A
soft smile twitched Obi-Wan’s lips as he stared at his list before
raising his head to stare at the basket of white apples the men had
somehow managed to get their hands on, ghost apples were a rare treat
and how his men had managed to get an entire basket of them Obi-Wan
had no karking idea but Obi-Wan had baked a bakers dozen for each of
them that
he had carefully wrapped up in white boxes and wrapped in cream white
bows.

All
that baking was really starting to take a toll
but it would be worth it, he knew it would be worth it to see the
look on their faces.

And
that left…

Obi-Wan
flustered, looking down at the end of the list.

Then
he smiled softly and got to his feet, he had one last gift to get
ready and there was no way in Force he was going to be late with this
one.

()()()

There
was a bet going on and Anakin was keeping as far out of it as he
humanly could even though he knew that Ahsoka was the one running the
books on it because if Obi-Wan discovered that not only had Anakin
known but also been a part of it, Obi-Wan would WIPE him out in the
salle in front of Ahsoka.

He’d
rather avoid that.

Plus,
he knew Obi-Wan, so he knew exactly who was getting the most special
gift today. Though
to be fair, the blanket he had gotten was beautiful and super soft
which had a lot of people sending an envious glance his way as they
read too much of the gift. Honestly Ahsoka got a big
convor plushie
that
she was happily tooting around everywhere!

People
read too much into Obi-Wan’s gifts, these weren’t the ones meant
for his special someone, these were just meant for them because they
were lineage.

Finally
the real MVP arrived, his armored boots making a defined noise on
marble as Obi-Wan instantly zeroed in on the person and cut himself,
politely most likely, from the conversation he was having with Mace
to hurry over to
meet the man in the middle of the entrance hall.

Cody
smiled uncertainly at his General, a small frown on his face before
blinking as Obi-Wan held out a white
box to him that the man slowly took it with a confused face. From the
distance it was kind of hard for Anakin to read his former master
lips but it seemed like the other was going ‘wasn’t sure’ and
‘didn’t want to presume’ before Cody removed the lid of the box
and stared in, a small smile crossing his face.

Relief
crossed Obi-Wan’s face before he reached into the box and pulled
out a silver necklace with a silver disk pendant.

A
name pendant, names were important to clones and giving Cody a
pendant with his name on it…

‘Well
if its not obvious by now, people are idiots.’ Anakin thought
amusedly to himself as this was the first time Obi-Wan had ever given
anyone jewelry.

Hi Moddy, I love your work. Do you know Japanese White Day when a person returns a gift they received on Valentine’s Day?

had no karking idea but Obi-Wan had baked a bakers dozen for each of
them that
he had carefully wrapped up in white boxes and wrapped in cream white
bows.

All
that baking was really starting to take a toll
but it would be worth it, he knew it would be worth it to see the
look on their faces.

And
that left…

Obi-Wan
flustered, looking down at the end of the list.

Then
he smiled softly and got to his feet, he had one last gift to get
ready and there was no way in Force he was going to be late with this
one.

()()()

There
was a bet going on and Anakin was keeping as far out of it as he
humanly could even though he knew that Ahsoka was the one running the
books on it because if Obi-Wan discovered that not only had Anakin
known but also been a part of it, Obi-Wan would WIPE him out in the
salle in front of Ahsoka.

He’d
rather avoid that.

Plus,
he knew Obi-Wan, so he knew exactly who was getting the most special
gift today. Though
to be fair, the blanket he had gotten was beautiful and super soft
which had a lot of people sending an envious glance his way as they
read too much of the gift. Honestly Ahsoka got a big
convor plushie
that
she was happily tooting around everywhere!

People
read too much into Obi-Wan’s gifts, these weren’t the ones meant
for his special someone, these were just meant for them because they
were lineage.

Finally
the real MVP arrived, his armored boots making a defined noise on
marble as Obi-Wan instantly zeroed in on the person and cut himself,
politely most likely, from the conversation he was having with Mace
to hurry over to
meet the man in the middle of the entrance hall.

Cody
smiled uncertainly at his General, a small frown on his face before
blinking as Obi-Wan held out a white
box to him that the man slowly took it with a confused face. From the
distance it was kind of hard for Anakin to read his former master
lips but it seemed like the other was going ‘wasn’t sure’ and
‘didn’t want to presume’ before Cody removed the lid of the box
and stared in, a small smile crossing his face.

Relief
crossed Obi-Wan’s face before he reached into the box and pulled
out a silver necklace with a silver disk pendant.

A
name pendant, names were important to clones and giving Cody a
pendant with his name on it…

‘Well
if its not obvious by now, people are idiots.’ Anakin thought
amusedly to himself as this was the first time Obi-Wan had ever given
anyone jewelry.

I love HoarderSeer! Quadruplets! Obi is gonna be huge! How does Cody react when Obi tells him? Does he faint before Obi can tell him its quadruplets or after? Does he faint at all? How does everyone else react? Does the Senate or public find out and also find out Cody is the father? Which maybe leads to them to realize the clones are actual real people? You are an amazing writer and I love your work! (:

It’s
unusual to be summoned to the Jedi temple.

It
makes Cody feel leery despite the peaceful atmosphere as he walks
into the entrance hall, glancing about uncertainly before breathing
out when he spots Commander Tano waving like a loon at him beside a
large statue, the togruta bouncing towards him as he walks over and
thereby they meet in the middle of the hall. “Commander.” He
greeted formally.

Beaming,
Ahsoka grabs a hold of his arm and pulls him along. “There you are,
I was wondering what was taking you so long Commander,” She chirped
happily, Cody absently noting that she was getting rather tall since
the they had first seen her. She was almost his height. “And you’re
looking pretty nice in your dress slacks too!!” Ahsoka winked up at
him.

She
looked at ease, happy.

But
her lekkus were curling in nervousness.

Jedi
may be trained to negotiate and bring peace but troopers were trained
for war and that included reading the body ticks of another. But Cody
didn’t say anything, only smiled in apology. “The shuttle didn’t
think it had permission to land where I needed to go, it took some
convincing.” He offered up calmly.

No
one paid them much attention but to be fair, Cody could spot a few
troopers here and there, speaking with Jedi.

So
maybe its just that Cody doesn’t get summoned often.

He
gets invited sure, he often comes with Obi-Wan and stays with him but
this is a direct summon and now that he can see Ahsoka…

Well
now Cody is worried too.

He
was leery when he arrived, he’s worried now because Obi-Wan had
sounded so utterly blank over the comm that even Waxer had looked
apprehensive
where he was curled up around Boil, rubbing the little bulge of the
other troopers stomach that held their ik’aad.

Still
he knows better than to start asking questions in public and when he
finally reaches Obi-Wan’s quarters…

Obi-Wan
meets them in the entrance, hugging Cody tightly and buries his face
in the commander’s neck with a low, needy noise that has Cody wrap
his arms around the other slowly as he looks over the redhead’s
shoulder at General Jinn with wide, imploring eyes.

Qui-Gon
only smiled tightly. “I’ll leave you two to speak Obi-Wan, I’ll
be over in my own quarters… and don’t worry Cody, its not bad
news.” The man chuckled faintly.

‘Well
its upsetting Obi-Wan so its something.’ Cody noted to himself but
held his tongue, shifting himself and Obi-Wan to the side to let the
taller Jedi out, the man just picking up his slippers and padding out
into the hall without putting them on.

Even
after Qui-Gon left, Cody held Obi-Wan without a word for several
minutes until the Jedi finally pulled back with a shuddering breath.
“We… we should move to the couch.” He whispered, peeking up at
Cody through his bangs and then back down.

Then
he wrinkled his nose and reached for his pocket, pulling out a glove
which prompted Cody to lift his left hand and look the glove over.

There,
a hole.

The
normal behavior for Obi-Wan, the hoarding behavior because of the
Force had him relaxing as he accepted the new glove, smiling as he
leaned down to remove his boots and follow Obi-Wan to the couch.

Regardless
what Obi-Wan had to tell him, regardless what it would entail…
things were going to be alright.

Of
course… then he actually learned what was going on and promptly
needed two shots of Obi-Wan’s strong whiskey.

‘Little
gods blood,’ Cody stared at the ceiling with Obi-Wan cuddled up in
his lap from where he had pulled the other when Obi-Wan had grown
uncertain to Cody’s reaction. ‘When I wanted kids, I wasn’t
planning on all
of them at once!’
He stroked a hand down Obi-Wan’s back. “…Aren’t you on birth
control?” He finally asked in bewilderment.

There
was an amused huff at his neck. “Apparently certain antibiotics can
render birth control useless. It nullifies the effect.” Obi-Wan
whispered.

“And
when you went on that round of antibiotics for that infection, it
nullified yours,” Cody stated instead of asked, already knowing the
answer.

Still
Obi-Wan nodded.

“…Huh,
guess its good the entire 212th
started reading those prenatal pamphlets for Boil’s sake.” Cody
mused, still fighting to understand there were FOUR babies even as
Obi-Wan huffed quietly in amusement.

… FOUR
KARKING BABIES!

Oh
Cody needed a good strong drink and a sympathetic vode to
vent at.

I love HoarderSeer! Quadruplets! Obi is gonna be huge! How does Cody react when Obi tells him? Does he faint before Obi can tell him its quadruplets or after? Does he faint at all?
