Shining Bright Above You

Summary:

A string of loosely-connected one-shots in the Prequel/Clone Wars timeline. OR: Cody is #done, Rex is resigned, Bly suffers a near-terminal case of UST/URT and Fox is planning to murder of all of them.

Notes:

This is a bit of a creative writing exercise, lol-- the fandom is new to me and I started two longer fics for it that have since lost momentum. I'm hoping a dailyish ficlet prompt will help get me in the groove to work on those!

Chapter 1: 1. Height

Summary:

CT-7567//REX: hey
CT-7567//REX: ct7567p_00567.jpg
CT-7567//REX: why the kark do they do this

Notes:

Chapter-specifc tags: chatfic, anachronistic file types, care and feeding of jedi, the CC-1000s are a bunch of bullies
