Summary
Obi-Wan plopped his head back on the raised back of the bed with a frustrated huff. He should’ve expected Anakin’s rigid denial. Master Vokara had quite effectively turned Anakin into her ever-watchful agent, the traitor, making sure that Obi-Wan couldn’t even yawn without someone being in the room.
It was tiresome.
Anakin clicked his tongue. “No matter how many times you moan and groan, we’re not letting you leave.”
“And that’s precisely why I’m moaning and groaning.”
(Or: Obi-Wan has a close call on a mission and proceeds to stumble his way through connecting with his little monster of a padawan. If only Anakin wouldn't keep bolting out of the room.)

Summary
“Obi-Wan,” she said, her whisper catching on the wind to float to his ears.
His hood fell from his head as he sharply turned to her, and she saw his eyes widen.
“Satine,” he breathed.
(Satine and Obi-Wan over the years, from their initial parting to their reunion years later and everything in between.)

Summary
Obi-Wan and Anakin had an entirely too-large floor of forty rooms all to themselves. Only one was occupied, and it was situated a third of the way down the hall, plenty of time to discover how much his footsteps echoed.
Sometimes Obi-Wan allowed himself to consider why it was he and Anakin were alone on the floor, and only sometimes would he allow the less-than-pleasant thoughts as to why they were isolated. Due to his answers, it was rare that he would let them linger.
(Or: Obi-Wan and Anakin adjust to being on a floor of the Temple by themselves. They make the best of it. Sequel to "Moving In")

Summary
“Anakin,” Obi-Wan repeated, voice quiet. “Who took you there?”
Anakin's mouth opened up, and nothing came out at first, just a tiny croak of air. But he concentrated on Obi-Wan’s warmth on his shoulder. This time, he forced the words out, like pushing air through a clogged pipe.
“Mr. Palpatine.”
And the moment it released into the air, he felt he’d just thrashed a gong the way the sound, as small as it was, filled their apartment. He swallowed as Obi-Wan stared at him.
“The Chancellor,” he said.
(Or: A distraught Anakin comes home from somewhere he shouldn't have been, Obi-Wan is concerned, and the world rights itself from their conversation. Also, f*** Palpatine.)

Summary
“How come none of the other rooms have plants?” Anakin asked as he trotted over to the dining room table. “Are they yours?”
“No.” His voice was so quiet he wasn’t sure Anakin would even be able to hear him. “No, not mine.” Such a simple question, but he felt the twist in his chest nonetheless. He swallowed thickly before answering, “They were Qui-Gon’s.”
“Oh,” he breathed out, then seemed to take in the room anew, casting his gaze to each pot. There was a solemn wrinkle in his brow, all the more evident now that the boy’s hair had been cut from the shaggy look he sported before.
Obi-Wan wasn’t entirely sure why, but he didn’t want to hear what Anakin would say in return.
(Or: About a month after Naboo, Obi-Wan and Anakin move into Master-Padawan living quarters together.)

Summary
Gustave dies at Renoir's hand on the Stone Wave Cliffs. Then Gustave opens his eyes to the sound of a cane striking stone at the edge of the Continent. He dies again, he opens his eyes again. Again, again, and again, until he gets it right.
A slow-burn Verstave time loop from Gustave's perspective. The content warning is for time loop-typical death and violence.
Updates on Tuesdays. Check out the music playlist!

Lorsque la lumière de la lune transperce L’Enfer by TheDwarf01789
Fandoms: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Video Game)
05 May 2026

Summary
“That’s Lune,” Sophie whispered. “You two would make a lovely couple… Or maybe something already happened…”
Gustave didn’t respond.
He would have been lying if he claimed the thought had never crossed his mind. Even Maelle, with her too-perceptive teenage intuition, had already teased him about it. And now, Sophie was joining in.But every time that idea began to take shape in his mind, a shadow would sweep it away. A shadow bearing Sophie’s name.
Why this obsessive loyalty to a story that had ended?
Perhaps because a part of him had never truly turned the page.And now, it was too late.
In a few hours, Sophie would be nothing but a memory. They would leave for Expedition 33.
And both of them would likely be dead within the year.Maybe that was his greatest regret.
What If : in the heart of the expedition, buried feelings could change the course of everything?
