    Summary

    “Do you have scales?” Arthur asks. “Wings?”

    The cow at Merlin’s side begins munching on the heads of his handful of wheat.

    “Oh, I see," he says, "You’re an oaf."

    “What did you call me?”

    “An oaf. A pumpkin short of its seeds. A turnip with no greens or roots.”

    “How dare you.”

    “Quite plainly, I thought, but I suppose given your intelligence or lack thereof, I might have been more direct the first time.”

    Arthur draws himself up to his full height, aghast.

    “You,” he says. “Are the strangest, most repulsive hatchling I have ever met, and I should like nothing more than to escape your company immediately.”

    (Pride & Prejudice AU - Lady Ygraine asks her dear friend Lady Nimueh to help her children get off their asses and strike out into the marriage market. With her help, Arthur soon finds himself introduced to a mysterious, magical man who calls himself a botanist.)

    Summary

    "The camp is pulsating with life, more populated than it’s ever been in the short time since its recent establishment on the sword coast. It’s bound to change location as soon as morning comes.

    Or maybe evening. By the looks of it, most of their band of misfits will be afflicted by the overconsumption of mediocre ale when comes dawn.

    But for now, time to party."

    Summary

    It is, against all odds, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Older. More jaded. Poisoned by grief and loss. But still, invariably, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

    He removes his hand from the back of Obi-Wan’s head and pushes down the scarf covering the lower half of his face, letting it hang around his neck, before pushing up his goggles.

    Obi-Wan’s face slackens with surprise as he looks at him. His eyes trace the scar around his eyes, the new lines on his face, the length of his hair and the grey crowding his temples. They lock against his own after his assessment, and his voice sounds soft as a caress when he says, “Cody.”

    Summary

    “Kote.”

    Cody is looking up into the visor, he realizes. The Mandalorian is tall, and his chest is mere inches away from Cody’s own. It is so still, so at ease with the proximity. The confidence makes Cody want to look away first. There is a tap to his arm. His eyes drop to see gloved fingers knocking gently against the plastoid. He looks up to see that, somehow, the Mandalorian has softened.

    “The name of a sunrise,” they say. “Glory be, Kote.”

    “Keep your glory,” Cody says outside of himself. “I’ll take the sunrise.”

    (Obi-Wan fakes his death and Cody works through every stage of grief. He eventually decides that he's going to fuck his way out of the depression pit and finds himself falling in love with this handsome Mandalorian who he just keeps meeting.)

    Summary

    When Obi-Wan Kenobi was twelve, he was told he was too angry to ever be a Jedi. He wasn’t good enough.

    Only weeks later, he offered up his life in exchange for hundreds of others and Qui-Gon Jinn found him worthy.

    When Obi-Wan was thirteen, he chose the war-torn streets of Melida/Daan over the orders of Master Jinn, and he ceased being a padawan of the Jedi Order. He resolved the conflict there and then, unsure where else to go, sought out his family on Tatooine.

    It was clear he couldn’t fit himself back into a life he was taken from as a small child. So, just shy of his fourteenth birthday, Ben Lars presented himself to the AgriCorps.

    OR, the one where AgriCorps Specialist Ben Lars is recruited to assist in the settlement of the clone troopers after the war ends.
