Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Title: From All The Spaces Between Times
Chapter: Chapter 60 — Shadows Pass Over Our Faces
Author: [personal profile] elrhiarhodan / [tumblr.com profile] elrhiarhodan / [archiveofourown.org profile] elrhiarhodan
Fandom: Star Wars, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars — Obi Wan Kenobi (TV), Star Wars — Jedi Apprentice Books
Characters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Shmi Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, The Force as a Sentient Character, Watto, Quinlan Vos, Padmé Amidala, Sabé, Darth Maul, Yoda, Mace Windu, Adi Gallia, Quinlan Vos, Professor Huyang, The Force, Plo Koon, Vokara Che, Siri Tachi, Aayla Secura, Bant Eerin, Bruck Chun, Xanatos du Crion, Sheev Palpatine | Darth Sidious, Hego Damask II | Darth Plagueis, Komari Vosa, Bail Prestor Organa, Bail Antilles Prestor, Rael Averross, Nim Piana, Ahsoka Tano, Sifo-Dyas, Reva Sevander, Lene Kostana (mentioned), Savage Opress, Original Characters, Other Characters To Be Added
Pairings: Obi-Wan Kenobi & Shmi Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi & Qui-Gon Jinn, Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon Jinn (yes, we’re arrived)
Word Count: ~ 7200 this chapter
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Canon typical violence, non-canon death of a minor canon (TCW) character.

Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.

But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.

Or,

Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.

Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.

Chapter Summary: Anakin Skywalker returns to the Temple for the first time in three years, for the first time since he had delivered his half-sister Rey into the keeping of Master Plo. He is not sure how he feels, knowing his children are here, his half-sister is here, but he can’t see them or ask about them.

It’s a good thing he can lean on his padawan-brother, Obi-Wan, for emotional support and wisdom in this difficult moment.

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Hello, everyone! I had just switched laptops, as mine had rather dramatically died, and I do not have email access to the mod account on the new device.
Rest assured the matches are complete and checked. I just can’t get them out to you quite yet and my co-Mods are not available at the moment due to scheduled activities (also known as “having a life”).
This is just an update to let you all know you haven’t missed them in a mysterious inbox folder and they are on the way as soon as possible (within a few hours for sure)

Chapter Summary: Obi-Wan lays out his fears for the survival of the Order to members of the Jedi High Council. They are surprisingly receptive, both about his concerns and about what the Order should do to protect itself.

Half the challenge of this nowadays is editing the formatting (as a possible future thing, if it's possible to create an alternate template formatted with "Markdown" syntax, that would be Very Useful, very possibly to more people than just me).

I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: Anything not in my DNWs is fair game in the service of angst :)

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
Ms. Holmes and Ms. Watson - Apt. 2B: Assuming it’s not currently playing in a theatre near you, you can buy the script here for US$10. I recommend skipping the Playwright’s Notes until you’ve read it through, they contain a major spoiler. F!Holmes and F!Watson in 2021! Fun/ny! Meta references! Sherlock being brilliant, bizarre, and emotionally stunted! Convoluted dramatic showdown with quintuple crossings! Gay kissing!
Fic ideas:
*Sherlock being made unambiguously aroace (whether or not anyone around knows the words)
*Joan realizing she really was jealous of Irene (and it being requited or not)
*Joan & Sherlock becoming closer
*More of whatever the frig was going on with Sherlock & Irene
*The sequel that was cruelly set up but will never happen

All purpose likes/prompts:
*epistolary, 5+1, experiments with style & format
*Meta (as in commentary or as in referencing the Sherlock Holmes multiverse)
*Sherlock being abrasive, solitary, super smart
*Relationships that are unconventional, complex, difficult to define, involve competing needs, require negotiation, that revolve around shared interests, that are extremely strong
*metamours Sherlock & Mary getting along so well it's scary
*TGG/TFP-esque convoluted scenarios by Moriarty/other villains
*forced to make difficult choices that have no get-out-of-jail-free, best-of-both-worlds escape hatch
*Jo(a/h)n confronting Sherlock’s enemies
*Going through hell with or for each other

Vid likes/prompts:
Loving, understated, heartbreaking, opinionated, euphoric, we’re-adrenaline-junkies-and-never-gonna-die… Also, vids that either work with the lyrics to show why the song is a great fit to the canon, or pointedly interpret either the lyrics or visuals differently than the artist intended. Special effects, experiments with the possibilities of the medium.
I love being introduced to new music via fanvids. Or taking an already popular song and tricking me into associating it with the vid & fandom in the future. I don’t listen to much music otherwise and the only thing that really unites my taste is that I like when it’s easy to make out the lyrics. If you’re really looking for ideas, artists I have been known to return to include Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, The Ark, Carbon Leaf, and The Longest Johns.

Music likes/prompts:
Cozy or angsty or adrenaline-filled vibes... Songs that tell a self-contained story... As far as I can tell, fan music seems to have dropped off even more dramatically than other mediums after S2, it would be cool to get something that references the later seasons (or Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson)!

DNW: PWP (explicit content is fine, just not as the sole focus), gore, Mary portrayed as worse than John & Sherlock, Sally portrayed as worse than Sherlock, canon negativity

Special requests: none

I cannot live without brainwork!

For podfics, any of mine that you like, no restrictions. For music, surprise me!

DNW (creating or receiving): Non-con, graphic torture, graphic child or animal abuse (sexual or not), major (permanent) character death, bleak hopeless endings

I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: whatever you feel makes the story work for you as a writer, but keep in mind I do not do well with a lot of graphic descriptions of needles and blood and slashing. I especially like confessions of unusual kinks and partners embracing them fully.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I would love me some Viclock for Sh&Co, especially with him returning to London present day. (I headcanon his as an allo/ace relationship that they didn’t know how to navigate yet, but do what feels right to you…one of them could have not been in a good space for a relationship. Rather not see cheating) Also happy to see a Reichenbach interpretation! I do not like amnesia fics of misunderstanding tropes, or anything where people are not believed/gaslighting. No DV or any abuse between any main characters but can be in the story elsewhere. I love retirement in any universe that doesnt have retirement yet. Really, just make it creative and different from a typical episode and expand on the existing dynamic and I will be thrilled. Also, anything involving a continuation or reinterpretation of one of my fics in *any* format is always amazing!

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
I am a big fan of alternative universes, so if you feel like writing something like that please go wild (time travel, fantasy, science-fiction, ... all amazing). I think it would be fascinating to have some more wild AUs for Sherlock & co or even Granada. No matter if it is a casefic or a slice of (AU) life. Maybe a little bit of angst to spice things up.

I also generally love feel-good fics, where Holmes and Watson are just domestic and happy together, maybe coming down after an exhausting case or a retirement fic. Extra points for some aro/ace and/or trans/gender-non-conforming headcanons. That could be very lovely.

Some Angst (maybe Reichenbach Fall/Final Problem) especially for Sherlock & co would also be amazing because I have a feeling that this is the direction we are heading towards. If you want to give it a happy ending, I would be forever grateful!

Oh, or maybe something that is focusing on the Baker Street Irregulars, no matter what adaptation. Maybe they are helping to solve a case or they get annoyed by the forever-pining adults and take matters into their own hands ... maybe some grown-up Irregulars who are visiting retired Holmes and Watson in the countryside?

Special requests: none
