Summary
He wondered if Hannibal would learn to perk up at the sound of Will’s uneven gait, meeting his eyes only after the last step. It would be learned without conscious noise- simple conditioning. Salivating at the sound of a bell, hungering at the sight of him. He wanted to be so deep inside Hannibal’s cathedral of a mind that the very sound of Will’s breath would set the beast’s brain on fire, pulling on chains with no will of its own.
For now, though, he needed to nurse the man back to health. All in good time.

The Parable of the Rose by Anonymous

Summary
Highlighting and expanding upon scenes from Obi-Wan Kenobi and Revenge of the Sith, these are versions which I've re-written to fit my Vaderwan agenda. This is a canon-divergence in which Obi-Wan helps an injured Vader back to his Lambda shuttle after the events of episode 6, and where Vader confronts Obi-Wan about the feelings they've both neglected all these years. They work through it as well as can be expected for these two. The fic is primarily canon compliant (with exceptions of canon-divergent ROTS flashbacks) up until the very last scene/episode, though I have included Leia discovering Vader's real first name (by accident). There are allusions to very slight feminization on Obi-Wan's part, but it's all metaphorical. Also, Obi-Wan regards Anakin as a part of his surrogate family in regard to their shared Force lineage, but not as his actual 'brother'.
Please enjoy!

Summary
Izzy knows the idiotic danger that is trusting others with his heart and he has the scars to prove it. He's careful now, so closed off and tightly laced that nothing can get through his facade. But something about Frenchie, ridiculous, charming, kind, and everything Izzy's never experienced stirs something under the layers of scar tissue around his heart.

Summary
He knew there were thousands of other jackets identical to this one, produced by the same company, even sold in the same store but, well, this one was his. And to Cody’s mind, it was perfect. It fit his shoulders snugly, it was just the right length for him to put his hands in the pockets, and best of all, it was the colours of the 212th.
or
Cody buys his first piece of civilian clothing and it lasts approximately half an hour before getting ripped, fortunately Obi-Wan is good at sewing. -
