    Summary

    The start of the war, and all that comes with it.

    The first flower Obi-Wan hacked up on the bridge of the newly-named Negotiator was a marigold. Thankfully, this one didn’t come with roots—those were always the worst, leaving his throat sore or abraded for days after—and was relatively small. He’d felt the rattle in his lungs when as he’d first walked through the shining halls of the Venator, the soft-spun stoppage of petals and stem in his chest.

    It was, Obi-Wan thought as he folded the little flower away into a handkerchief, not a bad one to christen the Venator with. The bright color of it nearly matched the shade of his battalion, a warm orange-gold that had no place in the cold maw of hyperspace.

    “General?” the Commander was standing a few feet away, visor fixed on Obi-Wan. He could see his own reflection in the mirror dark of it; he thumbed at a speck of blood at the corner of his mouth and flashed the Commander a sanguine smile.

    “Alright, Commander,” he said. “Nothing to worry about. Just a slight cough.”

    It was the first lie he told Cody, but it certainly wouldn’t be the last.

    Summary

    “And there are some, like me,” Obi-Wan said, voice softening against his will, “who relapse. And relapse. And… and it never quite leaves. I’m afraid I’m rather susceptible to the kind of emotional distress that the flowers thrive in. There is so much love to be had in the galaxy, and I can’t help but… even when it hurts. Perhaps especially when it hurts. I let it get ahold and it’s chronic at this point. Even if I never loved again, I will always have… this.” He spread a hand over his own chest and already, he could feel the stuttering slip of petals and leaves threatening. He kept his breathing slow and shallow, and the threat passed—for now.

    OR: a peek into a galaxy where Obi-Wan suffers from chronic Hanahaki, a condition where flowers grow in his lungs, and despite his best efforts, he waters them every day.

    Summary

    “You’re an omega, aren’t you?”

    If words could be incinerated, Obi-Wan would send this one the way of the peach.

     

    (Cody is trying to protect himself and his brothers against an empire hostile to their existence by getting blackmail on the nearest authority to him--a sex scandal with his general is everything he needs to keep the guy under his thumb. Unfortunately, he's picked a fight with a fate bigger than himself, and he doesn't even know how to start swinging.)

    Summary

    This is how two years of calm, steady companionship and gentle, conspiratorial glances break apart:

    Obi-Wan tugs at the army-standard grey uniform that Cody keeps neatly uncreased, and his hand is on Cody’s neck and then his fingers brush against short dark hair, and Obi-Wan doesn't know which of them closes the distance so thoroughly. He pulls, but Cody lets himself fall; and then their mouths are on one another’s, and Cody’s nose is cold against Obi-Wan’s.

    Or: Cody and Obi-Wan find comfort in each other during the war. Right after Obi-Wan realises that, on his part, there are feelings involved, Cody pulls away without explanation. And this, Obi-Wan decides, is fine, except for all the ways it isn't fine.
