There is a plant called the Hemlock Water-Dropwort that leaves it’s victims with a smile on their face at the time of death…

Xylaria polymorpha, commonly known as Dead Man’s Fingers is a type of saprobic fungus that can be found growing in wooded areas. In the 1800s, a large cemetery was closed down due to church-goers believing the fungus was a pair of human hands, attempting to clamber out of a grave.

Okay, now I can’t help but imagine Feemor cooing over them…

Oh man can you IMAGINE??

Feemor would rip the council a new one, fuck the censure he’ll be getting for it, some things have to be said. Just like how Qui-Gon denounced him after that whole mess with Xanatos and even though it was a dick move to do to Feemor, it didn’t mean that Feemor didn’t still care about Qui-Gon and understand. It was necessary for him to forgive Qui-Gon, just like it’s now necessary for him to slam into a council session to ask them all if they’re all very high and can he have whatever they’re on??

Because WOW whatever they’re on must be some potent stuff if it’s making them act like such colossal asshats and skirt their responsibilities while still managing to make it sound like they’re just “respecting Qui-Gon’s wishes” instead of just being so incredibly selfish and irresponsible and petty and - 

At that point in his raging, he was escorted out of the council chambers and into the detention rooms. He hadn’t been in one of those rooms since he was - oh, holy hell, he was Anakin’s age the last time he was put into one of these rooms, because he was RAISED IN THE CRECHE, LIKE A NORMAL INITIATE. And his poor padawan-brother was given a highly traumatised, abnormally strong child who wasn’t raised in the creche at all because the council twisted the rules to allow him to become a padawan AT NINE YEARS OLD. After not even being RAISED among them and not knowing any of their social mores or having any of the necessary classes down or -

Gonna make this it’s own post so I can tag it and stuff:

Okay so basically, Feemor gets this reputation during the war

Of being fucking terrifying if you fuck with his men.

And once upon a time, some Seppie General who is no longer with us, happened to capture two members of the 177th Battalion and decided to torture them for information.

Their names were Ru and Slicer.

Feemor does not leave men behind. He descended on that General and his troops, lightsabers blazing, like a fucking avenging angel.

There was very little left when he was done, but when he got there, Ru was the only clone still alive (I’m sorry Slicer.)

After that, whispers start spreading through the GAR. Rumors of an Angel. Because there are other Generals who will go back for their men; Kenobi, Skywalker, Koon, Jinn, etc. But this is different.

None of them point blank REFUSE to leave (except Koon).

None of them have a set of copper sabers like burning wings. (Technically one is pale green, but the story keeps them copper.)

One day, a few weeks after the mess, every single man in the 177th Battalion as a tiny pair of copper wings, painted somewhere on their armor. Commander Jaheel has theirs on their shoulder blades. Captain Pine has his on his helmet, right temple.

Ru has his painted over his heart, but also tattooed to his skin in the same spot.

They never mention it, and neither does Feemor, but he sees, and they know. And if, if Feemor a bit touchier, smiles a bit more easily, over the next little while, well. They don’t mention that either.

Anyway, fast forward to the end of the war. A very nervous Ru goes to his General, and asks if he can have Feemor’s last name.

Feemor bursts into tears, right there in front of him.

“Of course. Of course, you’re my son, of course.”

And that is how Angel Battalion got it’s name, Ru Strahl got his last name and his angel, and I GOT FEELS OVER NEW OCs!

ENJOY

Hahaha! Yes!

Everyone: Feemor, you know people who’ve gone to this planet have never returned right?

Feemor: *still packing* Mhm!

Everyone: Feemor, is science worth the risk?

Feemor: *boarding his transport* Mhm!

Everyone: Feemor, YOU COULD DIE.

Feemor: *waving* There is no death, only the Force. See you later!

poplitealqueen:

Feemor stood at the edge of the cave, watching the waves gently roll against the rocks around him.

Not too far away from him was Obi-Wan, who was more interested in the glow urchins that stick themselves against the cave walls during the winters high tide than in the warm summer water that no doubt called to him.

The water was calling to Feemor strongly after all, and HE wasn’t the one who has ignored a part of who he is for nearly his whole life.

How Obi-Wan could allow himself to never put on his pelt and swim freely Feemor did not know. But he did know and recognise that Obi-Wan’s neglect of his other self, his true self, was causing him pain.

And Feemor intended to take away that pain and help his little brother the best he could.

It had been a surprise and almost horror when Feemor had realised that Obi-Wan was a Selkie like him. Their race was rare and there were too few of them left. But Feemor had seen their people’s magic within Obi-Wan’s ever changing sea eyes and had wanted to cry.

His younger brother was like him. He was not alone. And his little brother was in pain.

It took him a while to be able to sit down and talk to Obi-Wan somewhere completely private where no one could over hear their secret, but once he did; Feemor realised that Obi-Wan never had an elder to teach him how to control his own magic and how to access his own pelt.

Obi-Wan had been stuck in his human skin for his whole life and had never been able to be himself. Not once.

Which was why they were here. On a planet in the far reaches of the Outer Rim on a ‘research and discovery mission".

Being the marine biologist/ Jedi researcher he was, Feemor was allowed to go more or less where he pleased in the name of science.

When the war started he was still allowed to do so. The only difference was that he now had a great deal of Clone helpers who were all quite happy to be of assistance and keep his secret.

Being a Jedi researcher also means he can request any master or knight to assist him on his missions. He has more than once requested Yoda or one of his old crèche mates to come along just for fun.

This time he took Obi-Wan. He said that there might be the possibility of Sith runes on the planet (they are there and they are all just ramblings about how good the local cheese is. The local cheese is pretty much filled with psychedelic drugs and mood depressors. According to local legend, the Sith who had once been here had died due to a cheese allergy.)

The Council and even the Chancellor (who has always felt off and weird to Feemor. He does not like that guy for some reason and he is still confused as to why) all agreed that Obi-Wan should come with him. And so they both left together and silently hoped that Skywalker would not get himself into trouble while they were gone.

One would think a dragon could look after himself while its parent was away. One would think so.

At least Skywalker has that little Padawan of his. She at least has a head attached to her. Most of the time.

Feemor shook his head and silently sighed. Their lineage was a strange bunch, that’s for sure.

There should be getting down to business though, rather than just standing around.

“Obi-Wan?” He called, his voice echoing softly in the cave. He turned his head and looked at the startled but pleased expression on his younger brother’s face.

“Feemor look at these! They are absolutely amazing!” Obi-Wan grinned, gesturing to the urchins.

Feemor smiled gently and held his hand out towards Obi-Wan. “The tide is good now little brother. We should start before we miss our window.”

Obi-Wan lost a little of his smile and an anxious look appeared on his face.

“Come Obi-Wan. You are long over due to feeling your true self.” Feemor pressed carefully. He did not want to push Obi-Wan away but he knew that Obi-Wan desperately needed this.

Obi-Wan licked his lips and swallowed thickly but nodded. “How do I?.. what do we do to?” He tried to say.

Feemor’s smile grew slightly and he gestured the other man closer. “First things first; we get rid of our clothes. They will be safe here.”

While Jedi are taught to not care much for modesty or lack of dress (they wouldn’t be much good on planets that find clothing to be offensive otherwise), Obi-Wan blushed a light pink and nodded.

Feemor and Obi-Wan both stripped down fully and stood by the edge of the water side by side. He knew that Obi-Wan was doing his best not to stare at the red wound on Feemor’s belly and Feemor was doing his best by not looking at the tattoo on Obi-Wan’s back. The marks from Serenus were both large and painful for them both and the darkness that radiated from them was hard to ignore.

“They don’t show up you know.” Feemor spoke off handedly as he tested the water with his toes. “We shed everything that we hold when we are human. Only our bonds remain and they are muted while we swim.”

The feeling of relief that poured off Obi-Wan made his throats swell and close slightly. His poor little brother. Their master had truly done Obi-Wan wrong and had harmed him.

“How?? How do we do this Feemor?” Obi-Wan asked softly, his own toes barely touching the water.

“First I want you to close you eyes Obi-Wan.” Feemor ordered, getting right down to business. He waited for Obi-Wan to do as he said before reaching out and holding his little brothers hands. “The first time will feel weird but just breathe through it alright?”

Obi-Wan nodded at his words and Feemor took his own deep breath before drawing on the magics of their people to pull Obi-Wan’s sealskin from his human skin.

Obi-Wan groaned in discomfort but did nothing else. It was a good ten minutes before Feemor was done and a shiny light brown skin that laid on Obi-Wan’s back showed for his efforts.

Obi-Wan looked pale and leaned into Feemor, his sealskin clinging to his shoulders. Feemor gave a breathless laugh and smiled down at Obi-Wan.

“Wrap the skin around you and allow the magic to work little brother.” He pulled the skin closer to Obi-Wan. “It is time we swam.”

Obi-Wan looked up and gave Feemor a bright and almost carefree grin.

**************

They swam for hours and hours within the warm waters.

Feemor taught Obi-Wan all that he would need to know to survive. He taught his little brother the ways of the currents, how to ride with the waves, how to avoid and attack predators and of course, how to hunt and feed.

Obi-Wan other self was smaller and thinner than what it should have been but Feemor believed that by the end of the month of them being on the planet he would definitely have Obi-Wan to where he should be.

He herded the younger selkie towards the black-sanded beach so that they could rest. Obi-Wan would not be able to change back for another hour or so but Feemor could tell that the younger man was tiring.

He nudged Obi-Wan up onto a small rocky section and yawned a nap would do them both good. No one would attack them. All the locals were used to Feemor and the land species would not attack anything close to the water. Their water predators stayed in the water only. They were safe.

Or at least there were for half an hour. Their nap was rudely interrupted by the arrival of a Separatist ship and by the presence of Serenus.

Obi-Wan gave a startled bark and looked fearfully at Feemor. Feemor nearly looked back calmly at Obi-Wan. Serenus would be able to sense them yes, but he would never be able to find them when they were seals.

A small, but slightly evil plan appeared in his mind and using his and Obi-Wan’s new link to each other, Feemor explained.

****************

Serenus looked over the beach calmly, enjoying the feel and smell of the open sea air around him.

He could see why Feemor and Obi-Wan would enjoy this place. Both of his young Padawans had always enjoyed the open oceans. It was always a joy to watch them swim.

If the intel that Jard had told him was correct, Feemor and Obi-Wan may still be here. He could feel their presence but he could not tell how long it had been there.

With a small frown, Serenus set off down towards a cave system where Obi-Wan and Feemor’s presence seemed to be the strongest. As he walked, Serenus passed a pair of seals on a small rocky bed. Both of the creatures watched him as he passed as most animals do when a larger predator walks by.

HOW COULD YOU END IT SO SUDDENLY. YOU HATE ME? I HATE YOU FOR GIVING ME THIS AWESOME .

Freakin SPACE SELKIES. Bells, you are a genius.

Oh!And I should mention that the Selkie plot jackrabbit is the work of the awesome @hamelin-born! (I just post the ask and scream about it, as I am wont to do)

SPACE SELKIES. BROTHERLY BONDS. How you bring up the scars left on them by Serenus, and how they go away when they turn into seals ARGH. MY HEART.

That Sith rune bit about the cheese also cracked me up. That is some Terry Pratchett level absurdity right there. Freakin’ bless. I also like that slight mention about planets that find clothes offensive. That… that just sent another jackrabbit bounding about. Shit.

This is fantastic, dude. Thank you.

(Also I’m gonna tag @punsbulletsandpointythings because I know she’ll appreciate this.)

Fucking yessssss

Ehehehehe, yes!

Feemor, the ultimate Master of Chill. I can just imagine everyone all around him freaking out, probably fighting… and then he just *boop* gently prods the bond between him and Xanatos.

Next thing you know, Xanatos is lowering his lightsaber and everyone around them is like “tf?” looking back and forth between each other. A lot of confused shrugging is happening.

And then Xanatos gets captured, the moment breaks, but luckily we get more while he’s in captivity before “accidentally escaping”. It’s not Feemor’s fault the the particle barrier was left down, he knows plants not machines. Oh, and Xanatos grabbed a speeder? And spare clone armor to sneak out in? *patented Feemor head tilt shoulder shrug* He just knows plants. Who would suspect Feemor, the innocent gentle giant made of cinnamon sunlight?

(Obi-Wan would know he’s seen the looks Xanatos started to give Feemor. He knows looks like that, and you’d have to be an Force-blind idiot not to see the way the Force dances between them.)

(Plus, after hearing Xanatos’ side of things. How he was brought back. How he’d sooner die a second time than end up in the hands of the Sith – which brings a real fun line about how the Jedi would treat him well and Xanatos would laugh, “You think the Sith don’t have Coruscant under their control? I’d be dead in under a week, or worse.”)

(Basically it would just turn into Jinn Padawan Bros helping each other out without outright *saying* they’re helping each other out. Classic Jinn communication technique – they learned well.)

I’m so sorry for the tangent, Ham. You just got my brain gears to start grinding. Thank you.
