Started thinking about alterna!Obi today while opening at work. An Obi-Wan who Falls in the generator complex on Naboo in order to save Qui-Gon…
An Obi-Wan who’s banished from the Order because he used the Dark Side to beat a Sith…
An Obi-Wan whose Master defended him, but not nearly enough to save him, and ends up watching his Master take on a new Padawan only days after his banishment…
An Obi-Wan who’s hard and angry and just wants to tear something apart with his bare hands because he can’t contain his hurt…
An Obi-Wan who, when faced with Dooku trying to recruit him, goes “fuck this system” and forges his own way to use the Force, both Dark and Light…
An Obi-Wan who becomes a bounty hunter for the poor and helpless with no one else to turn to, whom the Outer Rim whispers about in the shadows…
An Obi-Wan who makes a living hunting down murderers and rapists and smugglers and bringing them to justice, but makes a life freeing slaves and finding homes for orphaned children and sheltering people who are just as lost as he is…
… and then I thought “what if this Darksider!Obi-Wan with snarky assholish tendencies gets tossed into a more canon universe, sees Rex and his pining-after-General-Kenobi-from-afar face, and goes ‘yep, that one, I want that one’.”
HNNGNN.
So. Uh. Hypothetically speaking, do you have a preferred for of bribery for writing? Askingforafriend.
Would it even need to be a more-canon universe by that point? If the rest of events followed the standard course, just with Qui-Gon there instead of Obi-Wan….
…And this particular alternate!Obi-Wan ends up working alongside the Generals at some point during the Clone Wars, perhaps undercover at someone’s (*cough*Anakin’s*cough*) suggestion to create a layer of plausible deniability as to why the hell you’re working with a bounty hunter you’re a Jedi you have a Code to follow dammit what is this?
Tbh I just want him to get Force-shunted over to a canonish AU so canon!Obi-Wan can see alterna!Obi-Wan tryna seduce Rex and just being all “nope no not cool that one’s mine I mean technically he’s Anakin’s and Cody is mine but that one’s mine too find your own.”
Basically, and this can be applied to any fic idea I come up with, I just wanna witness the ensuing shenanigans.
My brain took off running on it. Not really sorry, but I have a commission I’m meant to be finishing right now…
Reblogging for posterity. 😁
