Augusnippets Day 9: Hypothermia

Augusnippets Day 9: Hypothermia

Fandom: The Dragon Prince

Note: This takes place during season 6

Summary: What is Callum had fallen into the frozen sea on Rayla and his way to the Starscraper?

    "Ice water is cold." Was the first Callum said when Rayla pulled him out from under the ice. They must have found a weak spot in the frozen sea or maybe it was just the mage's luck.

     "Of course it is you dummy." Rayla pulled Callum forwards, trying to get him further from the hole in the ice. He was still coughing as he tried to act like everything was fine. 

    The wind was cold against the teens skin. Even with his clothing, the wind chill clung to his bones.

    "Are you going to be okay?"

    "I'm going to have to be." It was unfortunate but true. There was no Callum could go. They had caught fire to the frozen ship. There was no point in going home, it would just make their trip worthless. So they had to go to the Starscraper.

    The wind bit at his fingers until they started to become numb. Callum shivered with every step. He refused to tell Rayla; she'd worry too much. The elf would try to help him; which as much as Callum wouldn't have minded, he didn't want her to get hurt.

As they walked, the prince started to feel more and more tired. His breathing quickened. "Can we" Callum shivered, "take a break?"

Rayla walked over to him. She brought her hand up to cuff his face. "Callum you're freezing."

"Nah, you know what that feels like more than I do." Then he leaned into Rayla. "You're really warm." Callum whispered.

"Come here." The elf picked him up. "I'll carry you the rest of the way."

"You don't have to." The human mumbled.

Shaking her head, Rayla pulled Callum closer to him. Hopefully they would arrive at The Starscraper soon.

Augusnippets Day 11: Whumpee wearing Caretakers clothes

Fandom: The Clone Wars

Summary: While in a mission on a frozen planet, Cody falls into a lake. Obi-wan knows it's important to keep him warm.

    "Cody!" Obi-wan sled over to him as he fell under the ice. The thickness of the ice was hard to see under the snow. One of the men helped the jedi grab a hold of Cody and pulled him back to the surface. They dragged him away from the opening.

"Are you alright?" Kenobi asked. Cody didn't answer at first. Suddenly being submerged in freezing water had taken his breath away. He just listened to Obi-wan talk. Talking to the men, he told them to find a place to shelter them from the harsh and cold winds. They agreed and went to find a place to set up camp for the night.

As Obi-wan wrapped his clock around the man, Cody finally snapped back to reality. "Obi-wan?"

"Yes love?"

"You're going to get cold" he shivered.

"Oh I'll be alright. Let's get you someplace a little warmer. Then men are.teying to find cover."

Cody pulled the cloth closer to his body. It made him feel a little better. While he couldn't feel the clock's soft texture, he knew it was there. After all, he had felt it many times before.

Helping Cody stand, Obi-wan pulled him close. "Let's find the men."

Codywan Week Day 1: Lightsaber

Summary: After the last time Obi-wan lost his lightsaber, Cody decides to add a place for it with him by altering his armor.

    Jedi were funny about their lightsabers, or at least Cody's was. "This weapon is your life" he would say to Anakin Skywalker. Then he would lose his in the first five minutes of a battle. Somehow Cody always ended up with it. Something about the situation made Cody laugh. Obi-wan was somewhat of a hypocrite.

    With as often as Cody had the saber, he started to try to find a way to hold on to it easier. He wanted to keep it safe. The man knew he needed a lightsaber clip of some kind. That way he could attach it to his armor.

    Walking around the Jedi temple always felt so inviting. Looking around, Cody looked for any Jedi he might know. When he didn't see anyone he recognized, he walk up to a random Jedi and asked where he could find lightsaber clip.

    "Obi-wan break his again?" The Jedi asked, chuckling.

    "Yes sir."

    "Go down the hall and take a left. There's a supply closet. It should be the first room on the left."

    "Thank you sir." Cody smiled and walked away. The Jedi Temple was a beautiful place. It was easy to get lost in, but with all of the stories he had been told, the place never felt like much of a maze to him.

    Finding the supply closet, Cody opened the door and walked inside. He looked around until he found some clips. The box had a verity of different colors. Mostly they were neutral colors but a few were colorful. There was a few orange ones. Cody held one in his hand and decided that since orange was on brand, he would choose that one.

    Walking out of the closet, he headed back to his room. Sitting the room, Cody started his modifications to his armor and belt. With the clip attached to his belt, he carved out a small divite in his armor that went around his hip. That way the saber would fit nicer.

    The clip looked nice with his armor. The shade of orange was nearly the same. If the shade difference started to brother him, he'd paint it later.

    It didn't take Obi-wan long to realize the change in his commander's armor. They were outside by The Great Tree. The weather was nice so the man had gone to meditate by the tree. Cody had gone to find him to let him know that Anakin was looking for him.

"Cody? What do you need dear?" Obi-wan opened his eyes.

"General Skywalker is looking for you."

Sighing, Obi-wan stood. "Where is he?"

"By your room."

Smiling at him, Obi-wan thanked Cody. Something seemed different. It looked like Cody was waiting for something so the Jedi scanned him for answers. That when he saw the orange lightsaber clip attached to his belt.

    "Did you attach a lightsaber clip to your belt?"

    "I did. I end up with it enough." Cody smiled.

    Embarrassed, Obi-wan chuckled.  Looking around, he grabbed his lightsaber. Then he stepped closer to the clone and placed the saber on his hip. "It fits perfectly." With a small kiss on his commander's cheek, the Jedi stepped away from him. 

     "This weapon is your life. I can't let you lose it." The two looked into each other's eyes.

    Clone armor is the most personal thing a clone can have. They use it to express themselves. The patterns and design are as important to them as how it functions. It meant the universe to Obi-wan that Cody would change it to accommodate his lightsaber.

   "Thank you dear." Looking around again, Obi-wan checked for anyone. When he saw there was no one he stepped closer to Cody once again. Gently, he placed his hands on Cody's face. Slightly pulling them together, Obi-wan kissed him. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Codywan Week Day 3: Soulmate au

Summary: When you touch your soulmate for the first time you can see color. When Cody and Obi-wan first met, they discovered just how colorful the galaxy can be.

    The world was so boring in shades of gray. But that was all Obi-wan knew. That was all most people knew for the earlier parts of their lives. You would wait until you met your soulmate. Then once you touched them, your world would fade into color.

    Obi-wan had always wanted to see the color of the universe had to offer. Now he is 34 and waiting. A war had begun and he was a general. He still needed to meet the people under his command.

    The first time the Jedi saw his commander, he felt like they would get along. "I'm Obi-wan Kenobi. We'll be working together."

    "Commander Cody." He reached his hand out for a handshake. "It's nice to meet you."

    As the two shook their hands, the room seemed to light up. The shades of gray they both had lived with their whole lives faded into shades of red, blue, and more. Yet the color that took Obi-wan by surprise was the color of Cody's eyes. They were a simple brown yet stunning. "You have very beautiful eyes."

    "Thank you." Cody said. The two stared at each other for a moment. They didn't let go of the other's hand or break eye contact as they stood there. "I like yours."

    "Thank you." The two let go of each other but stayed locking eyes. "What color do you think they are?"

    Breaking eye contact, Cody walked over to light on some board. "I'm not sure about the name, but I do know that they look something like this."

    Smiling, Obi-wan looked around to find something that reminded him of Cody's eyes. He settled on his cloak. "Yours are a darker shade of brown than my cloak."

    "How do you know it's brown?"

    "Everyone tells me it is. I used to ask my master all the time."

    Cody smiled. "That's sweet."

    "Yeah. Well, shall we. We have duties to attend too." Both of them knew this was the beginning of something beautiful. While nervous, maybe they would be okay. The two would figure out more about the universe together.

    Bonus

    Cody and Obi-wan stood on the beach. The water was crystal blue. The clone could swear he had seen that color before. As the Jedi sat down to relax, Cody realized where he had seen that color before. In fact, he saw it all the time.

    "I know how to describe your eyes now." Cody said as he joined him. Obi-wan had already found sweet ways to describe the man's eyes. He said they looked like coffee or old books.

    "Oh?"

    "They remind me of the sea. No wonder I like them so much, they remind me of home. You remind me of home."

    "That's sweet. Thank you, love." Obi-wan looked around quickly before kissing Cody. He may not have shown how much those words touched him, but they did. They were one of the sweetest things he had heard in a while. "I love you."

    "I love you too."

Codywan Week Day 8: Anniversary

Summary: Cody and Obi-Wan spend their first anniversary together on Alderaan. Both of them make sure to make it a special night. With both of them having plans for the other, they spend their evening together.

It was Cody and Obi-wan's one year anniversary. Despite never celebrating a romantic anniversary, Cody was determined to make it special. He wasn't quite sure how. There was no one he could ask that wouldn't make it suspicious so he had to figure out what to do on his own.

So he started to plan a week before. They make sure that you both have the day off. They have been invited to Alderaan for a political conference. The two would leave Coruscant three days before their anniversary. Their anniversary date was the day after the conference. Bail Organa had wanted them to stick around for a day after the conference to make sure everything went smoothly. It was perfect.

After making sure they were free, he found out what kind of food he needed to put together. He settled on chicken parmesan with spaghetti as they both liked and it seemed to be something easy enough to make.

Then the clone commander wandered the woods trying to find a good spot for a picnic. It needed to be far enough away from the public that they did not have to worry about anyone stumbling upon them. He found an area that had a flat rock but was still surrounded by trees. They were mostly pine trees and oak trees. Being surrounded by the trees made the area smell amazing so he didn't have to worry about any candles. After all those could start forest fires.

Then he needed something to wear. While most of the time his armor is what he wore, he figured that some basic civilian clothes would be best for this outing. So he went to talk to Rex to see if he knew of anything he could borrow. Soon his brother brought him a pair of black pants and a white shirt. Cody thanked him and made sure he packed them when planning the trip.

Obi-wan seemed excited. Cody wasn't sure if it was just getting away from the war or if he felt that he had something planned for their anniversary. Either way the clone loved to see him so excited.

Once on Alderaan, Cody went to find all the ingredients he would need for their dinner. He borrowed a picnic basket from one of Senator Organa's friends after he had been talking to himself about needing one.

While in the woods the day before, Cody searched for some flowers that he could give his partner the next day.

The day of their anniversary came and Cody told Obi-wan he had a surprise for him. Obi-wan told him he had one as well. The two laughed, both slightly hoping they didn't plan the same thing.

Cody had Obi-wan follow him into the woods. He took his hand and led to the spot he had carefully picked out. There the picnic had already been set up as well as a bottle of wine sitting in the middle of the blanket. Bail had given it to them to celebrate a successful conference.

"Oh Cody. This is perfect." The two sat down on the blanket and talked for hours. The shared kisses and held hands under the protection of the hidden woods. This situation was ideal for them.

After their dinner, Obi-wan took them further into the woods. They walked hand in hand up a steep hill that led to the edge of a cliff. There the Jedi had set up flowers and some small candles. There was also a small record player off to the side. "I wanted to dance with you." Obi-wan explained.

Cody smiled as he took Obi-wan's other hand in his. "Then we dance."

So Obi-wan turned on the music and started helping Cody figure out how to dance. It wasn't something he had ever been taught but it was something he knew he wanted to do as long as Obi-wan did.

Cody would do anything Obi-wan wanted him to do. So they danced as the sun went down. The sunset was filled with brilliant reds and oranges.

"The sunset reminds me of you." Obi-wan said.

Smiling, Cody kissed him. "Thank you Cyare." As the night progressed, they stopped dancing and sat down on the cliff. The rocks were smooth which made the ground flat enough to dance in the first place.

They continue to talk. Soon talking turned into cuddling and cuddling turned into kissing. Both men's hands traveled the other's bodies. They knew each other's sensitive spots and where they liked to be held and kissed.

As they kissed, Cody broke their connection and started to kiss Obi-wan's neck. The Jedi caught his breath before suggesting that they return back to their room for the night. They could return in the morning and pick up everything they had set up that night, as long as they put the candles out before they left.

Cody agreed and they blew out the candles. They didn't make it far before stopping at their picnic spot to make sure there was nothing they needed to bring in that night. Before they left, they started kissing again. The commander pushed his general into a tree and pushed his body into his lovers. He grabbed his waist and pulled him close.

"Not here" Obi-wan whispered. "Be patient love."

Kissing him again, Cody moved. Then the two made their way back to their room where they would spend the night together, tangled up with each other. It was the perfect day for the two of them. That morning they knew they would return to their normal lives, fighting in a war and remaining secretive about their relationship.

Their second anniversary they spent on a battlefield. That night came a few months before the end of the war. It was a quiet but stressful night. With no ring, Cody asked Obi-wan to marry him. He swore he would give him one once they were safe and he could find one.

"Of course I will." Obi-wan had told him. "I love you."

"I love you too." With no one around the two shared a quick kiss before continuing to plan how they were to win this battle. Of course they would and once they returned the Jedi Temple Cody would find a simple ring that he could give his lover. The Jedi kept it on the necklace so that it would be easier to hide.

Once they had matching rings, Obi-wan added his to the necklace with his engagement ring. Cody found a chain and made sure that he kept his necklace under his shirt.

Even as the years passed, the memories of their first two anniversaries stayed with the two even after they were forced to split up by the end of the war. Neither removed their necklaces for a long time. Cody moved his ring to his finger once he escaped the empire.

Their first anniversary however, was their night and no one would take that night from them. Not the empire, not the Jedi, and not the sith. That night belonged to them forever and always. No one could take their love from them, even after everything that had happened. After all sometimes it was all they had left. Love.

Augusnippets Day 3: Thunderstorm

Fandom: EPIC/The Odyssey

Summary: When Telemachus was ten years old, thunderstorms became a common thing in Ithaca. He got used to them. As he walks around the palace, he learns that Odysseus had become terrified of them.

    Thunderstorms were a normal thing for Ithaca. Telemachus started to notice more of them when he was 10 years old. He used to fear them. Now he sits by the window and watched with lightning and closes his eyes as he listens thunder and the rain.

    It was a stormy night when the boy learned his father was scared of thunderstorms. Penelope has gone to visit Ctimene; someone Odysseus wasn't ready to see again after telling her about Eurylochus.

Listening to the storm, the prince walked around the halls of the palace like he's done since he was young. Stopping in front of his mother and father's room, he felt as if he should go inside.

Without knocking, Telemachus opened the door. Inside Odysseus sat in his bed. His sword was in his hands and his knees were to his chest.

"Dad? Are you okay?" Telemachus asked.

"They're coming." Odysseus said, his voice shaking.

Walking more inside the room, Telemachus approached his father. Odysseus jumped back, surprised by the movement. "who's coming?"

"The Gods." The king said, whispering. "They have come for me."

"It's just a thunderstorm." Telemachus approached his mother's bed and tried to sit down.

Odysseus swung his sword at his son.

"Dad, it's okay. Can you put the sword down?"

After a moment, Odysseus realized what he had done and pulled his sword away for his son. "I'm sorry." As he started to cry, Telemachus sat down with him.

"It's okay. Can I see that?" He gestured to the sword in his father's hands.

Nodding, Odysseus handed it to him. Then Telemachus put it down beside the bed. "The Gods won't get you here. I promise."

"You can't guarantee they won't." The king said softly.

"True, but it will be okay."

"Are you sure?"

"As sure as I can be. I'll be right here, okay? I'm not going anywhere."

Telemachus remembered what it felt like to be scared of thunder when he was little. Now his father was scared of it for a very different reason. Still, he knew that it was a hard thing to be afraid of. Only the gods can control thunderstorms after all.

"Okay." Pudding his knees back down onto the bed, Odysseus tied to relax.

"You know, I used to be afraid of thunderstorms too. I got pretty used to them. No one is going to hurt you here. You're home."

"I'm home." Odysseus repeated.

"Maybe try to sleep?"

"Yeah." Laying down, Odysseus closed his eyes. Telemachus went and sat by the rocking chair that was by a window.

"Thank you son. I love you"

"I love you too, Dad."
