bedlamsbardAs I said to dogstar: it's almost funny how sketch this scenario, which is pretty standard for Anakin/Obi-Wan fics (Anakin cornering Obi-Wan/pinning him against a wall/generally being aggressive), gets when it's a (taller, stronger, younger) man and a (smaller, older, wounded (though that's not as relevant)) woman instead of two men. Like, I can think of four or five fics off the top of my head that use that exact same scenario that only differ in the details. Because Anakin Skywalker, aggressive bastard, that's why. (Though: aggressive bastard who knows how and when to back off when told, thank you, AotC.)
It's also almost funny how anxious I get about having Obi-Wan get rescued/need rescuing when Obi-Wan's a she instead of a he, despite the fact that canon, oh my god. (Not that Obi-Wan is going to get rescued: Obi-Wan is perfectly capable of rescuing herself and her wayward Padawan, thanks very much, if he doesn't get in the way. Or himself, whatever. It's just that Anakin drops everything to rescue Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's happy with waiting until the opportune moment to escape, and when he does, dayumn, there's gonna be hell to pay for those responsible, because there's basically nothing hotter than Obi-Wan kicking ass without his lightsaber (OBI-WAN KICKING PEOPLE IN THE FACE MY FAVORITEST THING EVER), sorry, I got distracted.)
...did I also write that scene in the lady Jedi fic? I think I did, but I suspect I didn't post it. Did I post the scene with lady!Anakin/lady!Obi-Wan aborted makeouts? Because I'm reasonably certain I wrote it. (Okay, yes, I wrote it, because Anakin Skywalker: the same in all universes. Except when he isn't, obvs.)
